    Summary

    This work was previously called “The irony of fortune”

    In the mystical world of gods and monsters, madness and chaos can fragile mirrors even survive in such an environment? Especially one that’s from the modern age

    “Her eyes fluttered open wildly, her eyes widened at the sight of the dark room, it felt as if she woke up in a deep dark abyss. The smell of iron, dried blood, the only source of light being a poorly lit candle”

    Summary

    Carlos Hernandez is a reincarnated king from 1600's Spain - and not one that was remembered well by history. Currently in the year 2000, he is a disabled intersex person who is working at a toy store with the hopes of saving up enough to own his own toy restoration shop one day, for he loves art, history, and a bit of fun.

    Severus Snape is Severus Snape. He has survived the Second Wizarding War and as a way to try to enjoy his new lease on life a bit more, he has decided to travel to a different country each year. This year the country of Spain has been drawn out of a hat so, off he goes.

    What does fate (and this author) have in store for the two of them?

    Summary

    It didn’t matter. His dad was back to sleep. And Kenny was one bass guitar short.

    He’d managed to get that guitar by pure miracle. Sold way too cheap at a garage sale, just fixable enough to warrant buying some materials. Was it perfect? No. Was it the only thing keeping him from bashing his head through a wall during the school week? Also yes. And now it was gone.

    Or, Kenny's dad sells his guitar, and with no way to outlet his stress, things build up fast.

    Summary

    “He’d always thought he’d wait. Until he’d earned it. Until it felt like he’d lived up to his mother’s expectations. He’d failed. And now the entire city was depending on him. He couldn’t fail them too.”

    “She wasn’t a hero. Not even close. She was a walking disaster, a thief, a murderer…She didn’t deserve it, not at all, And even then, part of her, a tiny part that had been long pushed into the very depths of her soul, wanted nothing more than to make them proud.”

    Summary

    “His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening. Gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”

    Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.

    When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

    Summary

    Ruggie pushed himself upright with his palms, sitting cross-legged on the uneven concrete. “Okay, let’s try this again.”

    He held out his hands to the boy, palms facing upwards, and the boy slid his own into his. Ruggie felt a tingle dance up his forearms at the contact, and he let out a snicker. “Step one, done. Now, for two—” he jabbed a finger to his own chest “—I’m Ruggie. Ruggie Bucchi. And you are?”

    The boy simply stared at him with those wide, cherry eyes for a little longer before his gaze darted away, almost shy. “I’m Kalim. Kalim al-Asim.”

     

    — aka; what if ruggie and kalim actually met when they were younger?

    Summary

    През 1868 г. свободата изглежда като далечна мечта за младия Христо Ботев. В суровата късна есен той броди из непознатия Букурещ, търсейки единствено подслон. Там среща дрипавия странник Христо Карловеца, и двамата, свързани от бедността и мизерията, споделят сандък със слама в изоставена мелница на края на града.
    Един ден, в читалището „Братска любов“, самият Левски — тогава още непознат за историята — надниква тайно в тефтера на Ботев. Пламенните стихове на „На прощаване в 1868 г.“ го запленяват. Двамата разменят само няколко думи и също толкова погледи, но усещат, че съдбата ще ги събере отново.

    Цялото произведение е силно вдъхновено от "Христо Ботьов. Опит за биография" на Захари Стоянов, като по-късно са използвани и сведения от "Васил Левски. Биография" на Иван Унджиев и "Масонската ложа и Братството на Левски" на Румен Василев.
