Phoenix The Reincarnated Engine [Thomas The Tank Engine/The Railway Series Reader Insert] {Year One} by Sodor1984

Summary
Thomas the Tank Engine is a calm world… until you wake up reborn as (Iron) Phoenix, a brand new engine with little or no clue, too much steam, and a knack for surviving teasing engines, impossible schedules, and very judgmental coaches. Somehow, you have to learn the ropes of Sodor's very own North Western Railway itself, keep your firebox from exploding, and figure out if anyone has ever taught engines about basic self preservation, and all while wondering how much trouble one rookie engine can actually cause.
And also, how do you make sure you don't die (again, maybe? Did you even die?) too soon as (Iron) Phoenix?
{Just as a disclaimer, this is based on both canons with all their retcons that came with them!}

Summary
There, hidden among the dark waves, is the face of a man. He’s submerged up to his nose, but Daniel can see his long dark hair, his eyes glowing like twin flames. Daniel jerks away, nearly dropping his lantern into the ocean. The swinging light reflects off the man’s eyes, like some sort of nocturnal predator.
As quickly as he came, the creature is gone. His head silently sinks beneath the waves.
Daniel hears that familiar song, that haunting laughter. He knows, without a doubt, that it’s him. Daniel’s dreamwalker, his shark with a human face, his siren.
***
Daniel Molloy takes a job as a lighthouse keeper on the coast of Maine after his second divorce. But there is a monster in Castine Bay, and Daniel can't stop dreaming about it.

Summary
Newly married and thrust into life at the Romanian court, Nicholas of Romania and Princess Natalie Paley must learn to live not only with each other, but with the weight of unresolved grief, expectations, and a union born of necessity as much as affection. Court politics prove no less ruthless than those they left behind, and Nicholas soon discovers that love offers little protection against the ever-present shadow of his brother Carol, waiting abroad for the right moment to reclaim power, as well as Natalia's past.
Meanwhile, Vladimir finds himself drawn to Romania more often than expected, under the pretext of family visits that quickly become something else. Old feelings resurface where they should not, and the line between restraint and inevitability grows thinner with every meeting.
For Irina, marriage offers no refuge. When a devastating revelation shatters what little illusion remained, her union with Feodor becomes a façade, carefully maintained for appearances alone. Turning away from court life, she dedicates herself entirely to the creation of a new hospital, finding in purpose and service a form of fulfillment she never anticipated—and a freedom she had not known she was seeking.

Summary
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.— Percy Bysshe Shelley
It is a great loss, to have a bastion of such knowledge be burnt to ashes.
Better to have these things journaled, than to rot in my memory, forever untouched.
Russian Republic felt drawn to visit the palace he once called home. Stumbling into the library, he found himself comfortable in his now-dead mother's private corner, and found a peculiar book. Supposedly one of a single poetry by an Englishman, yet looked more thicker than it should be. Though it felt rude to intrude, it was only then that he realised the true nature of the white leather-bound book.
It was a diary, Russian Empire's diary to be exact.
(Or, Russian Republic finds and reads Russian Empire's diary.)

Summary
Midna gestures wildly at Zelda, who sits like a stone unbothered by the vitriol being launched at her. “This is stupid. You going to get her in line here?"
“I don’t know what’s happening.”
Zelda flips a page of her magazine. “It’s a case out in the Gerudo Highlands,” she explains. Oh. That is far. Why the hell would they go out there? Zelda’s bored eyes look at him from above the magazine. “There’s a Twili temple out that way that’s experiencing a leak, and they need assistance.”
Link stares at her. “Sounds like they need to call a plumber then.”
The Scientific Hyrulean slaps down on Zelda’s desk. “Don’t be obtuse,” Zelda chastises. “It’s a super spooky supernatural leak.”

Summary
Charlie Magne crawls out of a bayou with too many teeth and no memory of how she got there.
A stranger finds her first.
He shoots her twice.
She follows him home anyway.
She doesn’t know why.Doctor Alastor Arceneaux runs a quiet clinic in Saint Marais, where bodies are repaired, survival is negotiable, and some things should have stayed dead.
Charlie survives.
That turns out to be the problem.
———-
He squeezes her cheeks once more—light, almost affectionate—and murmurs, soft as poison,
“Tsk. Such poor manners.”
Then he leans in.
Close enough that the heat of his breath ghosts the shell of her ear. Close enough that his voice slips under her skin instead of through it.
“Oh, darling,” he murmurs—intimate, honeyed, wrong—“you followed me home.”

Summary
Of course, I wished to sleep for once–had today not been a holiday, I would have bailed out sooner on the party, which I examined the remnants of:
Glitter on the floor from the gowns of young women dancing all night. Women with their high heels in their hands as they left the party barefoot. Candlewax melted onto the wooden floors from clumsy drunks tipping them over. It was worse than any other party–one that his servants could not even finish on their own. This was why he didn't host on holidays.

Summary
The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.
"Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"
With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."
Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.

“I love you like a dog.”
“And I need you like a child.”
Chuuya Nakahara hasn’t seen his former best friend, Osamu Dazai, since their days at Astor Academy, a renowned school for the wealthy elite. Now, Dazai has been cut off by his benefactor from the Port Mafia, and spends his time with Ranpo Edogawa, a live-in assistant to the famous writer Poe, and a burlesque dancer named Noelle Gardener. Chuuya is also engaged to a woman named Evelyn, the daughter of Francis Fitzgerald, whose late daughter used to be Dazai’s love back in Astor. Separated for years, Dazai and Chuuya are reunited with more resentment than love, despite knowing each other better than anyone else. Chuuya is repressed, and Dazai is even worse off, trying to cure himself through his increasingly codependent friendship with Noelle. Chuuya has two choices; an impossible life with his troubled, alcoholic lover, or no love in the house of gold.
