    Summary

    Dunk came to Ashford with nothing but his horses, his shield, and the memory of his dead master. He needed a knight to vouch for him, a place to sleep, and a bit of luck.

    He found a pond, an elm tree, and a hedge knight named Maynard Fair with two boys and a battered shield of his own.

    But Maynard Fair has secrets. And some secrets, once uncovered, change everything.

    An alternate telling of the Ashford Tourney. No prior reading required.

    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

    Wei Qi, called the Oriole for the effortless way he composed poems, like a bird releasing a song, used his talent to serve a tyrant. Hated by nobles and common people alike, he was sentenced under the new emperor to pay for his crimes: demoted to a commoner, his fingers crippled and his tongue cut out.
    For two years, he lived on the streets as a beggar, unable to provide for himself or protect himself.
    Then Wei Qi died.
    ***
    Two years later, he woke up in a different body—An Yu, the youngest grandson of Marquis An, a sickly, withdrawn young man.
    It is a new life. New enemies, new allies. But the old ones are still there.
    And the secrets tend to resurface.

    Summary

    “If god isn’t real, then why am I here? Why are any of us here? If not for something greater, then why do I fight?” Minho uttered.

    “For yourself.” whispered Jisung, “we do it for everyone’s who’s ever felt alone, everywhere, in the name of true belonging. A god doesn’t put purpose to what is real; we do. And it’s our life’s duty to make that purpose beautiful.”

    “I think you’re my purpose, Jisung.”

    ~

    Minho and Jisung had always felt wrong. Maybe cigarettes, war and each other could make them feel right again.

    Summary

    “Have you met the nations before? You know, apart from our neighbors?”

    “As the Grand Duchy of Hesse, yes, but as a federate state of Germany, no.”

    The year is 1991. One year after the reunification of Germany. Two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. When West and East Germany are unable to attend the world summit in Strasbourg, it is up to their most trusted federate states to represent them. But what starts out as a great opportunity to meet the nations for some, eventually ends as a nightmare for all. One that is far from short-lived, because when Ludwig and Gilbert remain missing, their loved ones are quick to discover that the reunification of the two sides of Germany isn’t what Wolfgang made believe.

    Meanwhile, Italy and Canada have to question the friendship they share with the German brothers. How does Feliciano cope with the aftermath of "Buon San Valentino" as well as Germany’s states, whose approval he should now seek? And how will Matthew know what a seemingly innocent kiss between two forgotten souls means?

    Summary

    “Honestly, dude, you’re fucking handling this like a champ.”
    He’s not. He’s handling it the way he has to, the only way there is to handle it. “Well, I am champ, so.”
    Marlow chuckles.
    He sounds like he’s about to say something else heartfelt and misinformed, so Ilya flicks on the radio.
    --
    Ilya gets outed fall 2014. Objectively it's good for gay hockey but it sure doesn't feel like it.

    Summary

    Basically some CH headcanons i came up with in school and shit

    ‘Lore’ is hard to write, for a simple reason: when you think in your head, you do not think in just words. There’s emotions and incomprehensible images and feelings that do not translate well into written down text. Aghghghghghhgghghghghghghghghghghgh

    Also, it’s freaking humanised countries. What am I doing with my life?

    I probably won’t update this for long stretches of time lol :3

    Summary

    It starts with a dare—harmless, stupid, easy to laugh off.
    But when Will is dared to kiss Mike, the moment lingers longer than it should, leaving something unspoken between them.
    Years of hidden feelings, and tortuous longing.
    Suddenly, every glance feels heavier, every touch means more, and the line between friendship and something else starts to blur.

    This is the summer of '89 before they go to college :)

    Summary

    This work is being rewritten. I'll try to have two updates a week, as with the original.

    *

    Aiden Jaylin Winterrowd, otherwise known as Blue Jay had a horrible childhood, marked by physical and sexual abuse and even more, including murder. He doesn't hope for a future, not that he has a real chance for it, after all. Then a strange encounter changes his life, giving him a second chance. Does he have the strength to heal from his past, can he find love, hope and future?

    Elisabeth von Preußen had everything a child can imagine, yet, for most of her life she struggled, doubting herself and her abilities. Then on a day that was supposed to be fun, she finds herself in a situation she never even could have imagined. What follows after? Can she find herself, can she grow up to the role she was born to fulfil?

    Except for the very first chapter, there's nothing explicit or graphic in the story (this is not a porn story, or a yaoi or etc.), the tags& warnings are there because of the topics covered and the things mentioned.

    This story is set in an alternate universe. The German Empire is a thing - re-established with all the kingdoms and grand duchies and co. - just after WWII.

    Summary

    (Более 186 тысяч слов для перевода)

    Краткое содержание части 1: В июне 1969 года слово нашло её — ведьма — принесённое странным, растрёпанным и остролоктым мальчиком по имени Северус.
    В закопчённом сердце Коукворта, далеко от заколдованных замков и движущихся лестниц, Лили Эванс и Северус Снегг украли у упрямого марша времени семь лет. Между сломанными костями и залеченными обидами, между цветами, распускающимися не в сезон, и корнями, что отказывались приживаться, Лили узнаёт, что у магии есть пределы, но всё равно её руки продолжают тянуться, тянуться, тянуться. (Опубликовано 5 глав из 16)

    Краткое содержание части 2: День экзамена СОВ по Защите от Тёмных искусств проходит без происшествий. Никакого публичного унижения, никаких оскорблений, выкрикнутых на весь двор, никаких катастроф, разрушающих дружбу. Просто два человека, которые годами медленно теряли друг друга, продолжают отдаляться.
    Пока вдруг не перестают.

    Summary

    The Englishman used her hard as the thunderstorm raged outside. He was fucking her with long, powerful strokes, now forcing her to bend her knees, now grasping each buttock and raising her towards him, now leaning away from her to throw his cock into her even deeper. He was treating her sweaty body as a gymnastic vaulting horse. At last his thrusts grew frantic, he strained, and the woman sensed sticky warmth flooding her abused channel.

    Summary

    ‘Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.’ - Ulysses, Tennyson

    He turns the paper over. From her. Her scrawling handwriting on the flipped side of the paper. For Sirius Black, it says. He unfolds it. A poem. A whole page torn from a book by the looks of it. There are no other words. Just the printed poem.

    Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me -

    His eyes scan the poem three times, maybe four. He doesn’t really know what half of it means, they’re just words to him. But she thought of it for him, the words meant something to her. Perhaps it’s better if they remain a mystery. He refolds the paper, so that the dedication is upright and facing him. Then, he tucks it into his wallet. For me, he thinks.

    ~~~

    In which, Violet Evans grows up with muddy knees and hair slick with sweat. She runs and never walks. Magic crackles out of her like a live wire. Haunted by ghosts, she is a sister, a lover, a fighter. Made weak by time and fate but strong in will, never to yield.

    Summary

    In this story, Stuart Sutcliffe didn't die in 1962 and instead is a working artist living in London with Astrid, occasionally doing freelance work for his old friends the Beatles. Stuart and Astrid have an open marriage and each embark on passionate queer relationships in 1968, which bring them both joy but challenge their stability as a couple. Meanwhile, Stuart is worried about John and his seeming mental breakdown, and has very mixed feelings about John's way of dealing with this. This draws him closer to his old enemy Paul, who he has developed a better relationship with over the years, but who he still has trouble understanding. Events contrive to draw Stuart deeper into the vortex of chaos caused by John and Paul's prolonged, painful breakup, while he simultaneously struggles to keep a handle on his increasingly complex personal life.

    Summary

    To the War Office, she is (No.) 1563 Corporal Lanes V.—Killed in Action.

    To the rest of London, the letter that arrives two days after the telegram is a ghost. A cruel, postal delay. A voice from a woman who is already cold in the mud of the Ridge.

    But Caitlyn Kiramman is far too stubborn to believe a typed report over the living ink in her hand. If Vi were dead, Caitlyn would know. The world would have ended. Instead, the clock keeps ticking, the kettle keeps whistling, and the letter remains—a promise that defies the bureaucracy of death.

    She holds on to her intuition like a flimsy wire, following Vi into the heart of a war she was never meant to see.

    Summary

    Spain felt the blood drain from his face. He looked at the maps. They weren’t defensive positions; they were transit routes. Red arrows pierced the border, aiming directly at Lisbon’s throat.

    "We cannot allow a vacuum to exist," San Martín continued. "If this revolution threatens to get us infected, we must be ready to intervene within seventy-two hours. We are coordinating the ground support now."

    The relief Spain had felt seconds ago vanished, replaced by a cold, sickening horror. He wasn't being sent to the border to watch; he was being asked to facilitate an execution.

    "You want me to help them kill him," Spain whispered, his voice trembling.

    After decades of hunger and poverty, the dictatorship finally comes up with a plan to spike up the economy: selling European tourists a Spanish dream that not even the nation himself believes in. But as the Carnation Revolution ignites across the border, Spain is forced to leave coastal Benidorm to once again become the jailer of the one he loves most.

    Set during the Spanish Miracle and the plan to invade Portugal.
