    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

    Có một liên minh được ký kết vào năm 1902 và một mối quan hệ tồn tại song song với nó, chịu chung nhịp thở của thời đại. Từ những ngày đầu đầy tin tưởng cho đến khi mọi thứ dần trở nên khó gọi tên, đây là câu chuyện về hai kẻ bị ràng buộc bởi quyền lực, lịch sử và những điều họ không thể nói ra thành lời.
    Không phải tất cả mọi thứ đều có thể kéo dài mãi. Nhưng thời gian đôi khi vẫn rộng lượng để lại một khoảng yên bình ở rất xa về sau.

    Summary

    A gleaming transatlantic voyage promises elegance, innovation, and escape, but beneath its polished surfaces, unease quietly takes hold. As guests indulge in music, spectacle, and carefully curated luxury, subtle tensions ripple through the crowd, hinting at hidden motives and unspoken histories. The journey becomes more than a passage across the ocean; it transforms into a layered exploration of ambition, deception, and the fragile illusions people construct to define themselves. What begins as a celebration of progress and refinement gradually unfolds into a gripping narrative of intrigue, where every glance and every silence carries weight. The voyage becomes a crucible, testing perception, trust, and identity, all while moving steadily toward an uncertain destination. In this confined world of glittering facades, the true journey lies not across the ocean, but within the hidden depths of those on board.

    Summary

    A routine artifact inspection in the Department of Mysteries turns into a catastrophe. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are hurled into the past, where magic works unpredictably and survival is the only goal.
    Oh, and there are also cryptic symbols, jumps across centuries, and a growing feeling that someone is watching them — guiding them along a very specific route.

    Forced proximity erases old grudges. And feelings… well, feelings can't exactly be controlled.
    Welcome to the Die or Die program.

    The invisible puppeteer has already grabbed their popcorn.

    Summary

    “Was that good? Dramatic enough? I imagine it’s lost a bit of the excitement since you got the ol’ drain and drink”

    He couldn’t help but laugh at the phrasing, “Well that’s certainly one way to put it. I’ll admit that the uh… mystery of it all has lessened a bit, but that’s not why I started this and it’s not why I’m doing it now"

    “Yeah, you do it for the pursuit of truth and justice, right?” He snorts, like the ideals themselves are ridiculous.

    Daniel huffs, leaning forward with his hands folded, “I’ll give you the truth part. Would you like to get on with your interview, now?”

    “Yeah, yeah– I get it. What’s your first question?”

    “Start from the beginning– What’s your story?”

    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

    After burying his mother in the unfamiliar soil of the USA, Spike is a man adrift. Seeking solace from a grief that feels as heavy as the Atlantic, he drives until the engine cools in a small, fog-shrouded town during the height of fall. He’s looking for the warmth of an old friend, but he finds something far more haunting in Drusilla, a whimsical, eccentric waitress who seems to see right through his bravado.

    But the crisp autumn air turns cold when a local girl is found murdered. As the "outsider" in a tight-knit community, Spike becomes the prime suspect in a crime involving a victim he has no memory of ever meeting. In a town where everyone is watching, Spike must uncover the truth, with help from someone unexpected, before the weight of a life he didn't lead buries him for good.

    Summary

    Nyx Alandros had never seen a kilo of cocaine. She’d not felt the iron grip a hunk of white powder had over Miami. Her and her virgin nose were happy with knowing nothing about it. Alcina fucking Dimitrescu ruined that.
    One could describe Nyx’s life as pedestrian. A 26-year-old woman with aspirations of becoming the proud owner of Alandros Business Accounting once her father, Paul, passed it down. Until then, she was happy going over the accounts, crunching the numbers and informing her father if they just didn’t add up.
    ***
    Alcina crossed her legs at the knee, her black high heel almost touching Nyx’s thigh. She took the cigarette from the ashtray, flicking away the excess ash that had accumulated. “Would you like one?”

    “Yes, please.”

    The older woman fished a gold case from her purse, opening it before she extended the case towards her. A cigarette was freed, a matching lighter being held by a gloved hand. The hand suspended in the air as if waiting.

    Nyx slotted the filter between her lips and leaned forward in anticipation of the lighter. The lighter moved further out of reach as Alcina sucked her teeth. “Let the flame come to you. A woman does not show desperation in such activities.”
