" I realized that my whole life, I was trying to survive but I never actually lived. I died the day humanity was forced to start living here. I am not alive any more, maybe I never was. If I kill myself, it won't hurt, won't it? I am the only one who can kill me, I am not scared of disappearing. My life is terrible, I am terrible. "

A human AU inspired by the Metro 2033 universe.
After getting banished from his station on the Red Line, Ivan finds Alfred wounded and dying in one of the tunnels. He decides to help him and find out what happened to him. He then finds out that Alfred comes from the mythical University that he heard of only in stories told by his sister. 
Both of them slowly realize that they long for more than life in the underground and want to know how it was like to live up there.  Alfred however knows more than Ivan about what is going on above them and promises him that they will get out some day and will again be able to live like the generations before them.

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker
40 parts Complete
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)
Union's Brood by ImAProfessional0
75 parts Complete Mature
After the second American Civil War, the world changes drastically. A new nation stood where the United States once was, the Last Empire having fallen to its own people. Addicted to more chemicals than a lab rat, Alfred has a hard time keeping his head up- quite literally. It's not that he doesn't want to quit- believe me, he does!- it's just that the withdrawal is destroying him from the inside out. What makes it worse, is when he's placed into an arranged marriage as a landgrab, and then told about it just before it happened. Now he is wrestling with both his addiction, and someone he was supposed to marry in 1860! Ivan was an addict, once. He understood the pain of withdrawal. He wants to help, since there was nobody around to help him. The idea of joining the Union was one he hadn't even thought of before his boss had arranged the marriage with the dictatrix. Now, he was thrown into a world he didn't know, forced to interact with people he had never met, and be one of the first nations, the third most powerful, to join a mega-nation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extra: Alfred is headcannoned as brown get over it. Alfred is headcannoned as non-binary (used to be a 2s) (he/him, female titles) Nobody is irrationally scared of Russia. You like a lot of cute babies and mama Alfred this is your book my guy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hetalia: Axis Powers does not belong to me. No editor just me. All art in this book will be mine (unless, of course, fanart :) )

As you explore the darker side of the world, you're forced to confront your own inner demons. What will become of this Alice who goes through the looking-glass? "I've always been the 'unwanted one'. The one who keeps observing from the other side of the mirror. The one who keeps wanting what I could never have. But not this time. Just for once... Let me be my own person, I'm different from him.
