Wasteland Project

    This is the section dedicated to a project that I started my final year in university. It runs from late June to the first week of December. (Now it's from the late June to the last week of January.) This project contains Hetalia, Durarara, and D.Gray-Man. Now without ado, here you go.

Wasteland 2011
A little project I made for my final year as an undergrad. I took the idea from T.S. Elliot's "Wasteland." It's a mix of Durarara, Hetalia, and D. Gray-Man which breaks off into three separate stories that will eventually merge into one. It'll be easy to spot out which parts are which with each poem.
