Summary
Battle filled the air, roars of mortars and gunfire, cries of outrage from both sides raged and deep sobs and whimpers were drowned out, the dead and dying forgotten as those who could fight ducked and returned fire, thoughts of family, lovers, and friends going through everyone’s mind as they prayed that they would make it through. This was especially true for two men whose lives were as intertwined as their hearts a thing encouraged by the Romans but was frowned upon by the British in the second Great War where love in the trenches was found between the two but hidden from not only their government but from their friends and comrades.

Summary
His face is on the news again. Unsmiling, a little wild-eyed in the flashbulb burst. Awkward bowl cut, split lip. A red bar beneath his chin reads: "106 MINORS SEIZED FROM STATEN ISLAND RELIGIOUS COMPOUND...."
Credence is not technically a minor. Technically, according to the documents folded in a manila envelope on Tina's kitchen counter, he was supposed to have turned twenty-four in November. A minor technicality.It’s January, 1996. DOMA is in the works. The newscasters on WNET are inappropriately attractive. Clinton is trying to hold office. People can make phone calls anywhere, cordlessly, from brick sized phones. Credence Barebone has been freed from an abusive religious cult, and nothing makes sense anymore.

Summary
Roger Taylor finds himself questioning everything he knew about his sexuality, his friends, and life in general when he makes a sly new friend, Freddie Mercury, who truly rocks his world in every way he could imagine. Him and his three friends, Freddie included, try to live their life as well as they can as an up and coming rock group in the 60's and early 70's. Thankfully, they have each other, and that's more than enough.
A chapter fic based on early Queen and it's beautiful members. Eventually Mary, Dominique, Anita and Chrissie will make their own appearances, though not in a historically correct manner.
Please note that I'm not speaking for these men, nor saying how they felt. Historical Fiction at it's finest.((its not a lot like its insp. but i figured I should still put it there bc 1 its a great fic set and 2 it did play a big part in me wanting to make this in the first place))

Summary
AU : Seconde Guerre Mondiale
[Attention : langage grossier, violence et sexe dans un contexte de guerre].« Kyle ordonna à sa peur de disparaître. Il leva légèrement son menton, le nazi étant plus grand. Il regarda alors son ennemi droit dans les yeux. Même si cela signifiait la mort, au moins il ne permettrait pas à ce monstre de lui montrer de la peur et de la soumission sur son visage. Herr Cartman était perplexe. Ce juif avait eu l’audace de lever son regard vers lui et pire, de le regarder dans les yeux. »
Après avoir vécu caché pendant plus de trois ans et demi, Kyle et sa famille sont amenés dans un camp de concentration. Devinez qui est le pire des SS là-bas ? Ce qui commence comme un jeu sadique entre le nazi et le juif va évoluer en quelques chose sans précédent.

Summary
Freddie had the sinking feeling that he was coming down with something, as much as he hated to admit it. He’d managed to make it all the way through December and January without getting so much as a sniffle, despite his flatmates seemingly insisting on catching everything that was going around. He was probably well overdue to get sick. There were hundreds of things going around at school at the moment, and he could only hope that whatever this was wouldn’t be too bad.
Freddie is sick, and John is fucking determined to help him feel better
