Where the night takes us by anchy
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston, Red White & Royal Blue (2023)
15 Sep 2025

Summary
In 1901, Henry arrives in New York hungry—for a new life, for escape, for something he can’t name. He finds it in Alex, a sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued vampire who already knows how to survive the century ahead. What starts as wary companionship becomes something messier, deeper, and far harder to let go of.
Over the decades, they orbit each other—sometimes close enough to touch, sometimes worlds apart. Cities change. People fade. But desire lingers. Love, if that’s what it is, doesn’t die easily.

That House Down in New Orleans by LadyLynnBug
Fandoms: The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals, Original Work

Summary
"That tune,” he rasped,” where’s it from?”
He’d look back later, on that very moment. A question not quite out of the ordinary, that would lead him to a most unordinary mystery. A mystery that would eventually, as it had to so many before him, be his demise.
"This tune?”, the man laughed, rotten teeth showing through his toothy grin, "You tellin’ me ya never heard of the house down in New Orleans?”
He leaned forward, shaking his head for a no.
"Well I’ll tell ya, I’ll tell ya alright. S’called the House of the Rising Sun. Now then son, just what is it that ya wanna know?”***
Just who were the men and women of the House of the Rising Sun? (Some supposed it's only the devil that know)

Summary
In the days of the Great Depression, Jackie Taylor was beloved by millions of moviegoers across the country. She was a goddess of Old Hollywood, the all-American girl, queen of the silver screen. Like so many of the old-time starlets, her reality was not as rosy as the fantasy the studio sold. Her name is remembered today as much for the quiet tragedy of her private life as for her classic films.
Shauna Shipman is mostly forgotten. She was nevertheless once a star in her own right. One of the radical writers who flourished in the 1930s, her novels sketched the grim reality of slum life and the trenches of the Great War in vivid color. She reported from picket lines, from the dark heart of fascist Germany, and from the battlefields of war-ravaged Spain.
Little as they shared in common, Shipman and Taylor defined each other's lives. Decades after their deaths, enough documentation has surfaced to piece together the long-forgotten connection between these two women. It is presented here through yellowed newspaper, through musty transcripts, through the cloudy reminisces of those wished they knew them, and those who thought they did.

Percy Jackson: Battle against the Fates by Percblue03

Summary
A great prince sacrifices his needs for his kingdom, and Percy has dedicated his life to this belief. Literally.
Olympia is under threat from Gaea’s tyrannical force and destruction, and of course, Percy is his planet's last hope. All he needs is to surrender to Fate.
Game Plan: Get swallowed by Queen Dirtface, turn himself into a bomb, and go BOOM! Olympia’s saved!
Sure, it’s literal suicide, but think of it this way. At least his planet’s in good hands, and they’ll live in everlasting peace! Who cares about his future? Everything will be merry, Olympia stays prosperous, and life will go on.
But what’s an epic Greek story without drama, love, adventure, and sacrifices?
And will Percy surrender or battle against the fates?

Summary
When Dorothy Gale returned home to Kansas from her adventures in Oz, she swore she would never again take her home for granted and would look for adventure no further away than her own backyard. But life has a way of refusing to turn out the way you expect.
When a mysterious series of events leads Dorothy to returning somewhere she barely even allowed herself to dream of seeing again, she's not sure what to think. But this Oz doesn't seem to remember her, and it's resemblance to the fairyland of her memories is slim at best. And this new Oz seems to be as dangerous, as on edge, as the country that she called home.

Summary
“Yunho said something about a honey cooler,” he says. “You’re really okay with that?” A handsome man like Seonghwa could be seen with any beautiful broad.
Seonghwa nods. “I knew it would be an Alan Turing-type picture,” he says. “Most men won’t partake.”
“And you will?” Hongjoong stares at Seonghwa as softly as he can. Seonghwa nods. Their legs touch and Hongjoong hopes no one can see them. His thoughts are running away from him like a criminal on the lam. Within a year, Seonghwa will kiss him and he’ll be okay with it.
(or, kim hongjoong finds puppy love on the set of his latest film, circa 1933.)

Summary
Summary: Natty Gann wasn't sure what she was going to find at the end of her journey, let alone if she would ever even make it to Seattle. Sure she had help from a young man, a bit older than her in Chicago, but that was a while back.
Yet here he is, sweating and cursing as he holds his stomach, shaking from the pain he is in. He was a walking locked journal, and more than embarrassed at his current state with her."I can help but you gotta pretend to be a girl.." and pretend he did, just until he could get the meds and clothes he needed for his predicament.

Summary
A remake of my very first Fanfiction story. Halloween 2022 marked the 20th year anniversary of when the first BloodRayne game was released, and August 4, 2023 will be ten years since I published my very first fanfic story: “BloodRayne: Chronicles of Blood – Origins". How time flies! I like to view this remake as the new and improved version of my first work – correcting the previous story’s mistakes and adding more detail to it. I hope you all enjoy it.
My original story is on Fanfiction if you would like to read it under my pen name The History Queen.
