    Summary

    Rowan Ashcroft died in the 21st century and woke up in 1875 as a nameless orphan in Victorian London. He had no family, no magic, and no future... until a Hogwarts letter changed everything.

    The wizarding world of 1875 is brutal. Muggleborns are Mudbloods. The lowest caste in a society that hasn't changed in centuries. Rowan, an orphan with no magical bloodline, is exactly the kind of person it was built to crush.

    But he has something no one in this world expects from him: a mind sharp enough to see how the whole system works. And how to break it.

    He'll do it through magic no one has tried, duels no one thought he could survive, and secrets buried so deep that finding them puts a target on his back. All of it before Grindelwald rises and the world tears itself apart.

    Summary

    In which the SI awakens in Naruto’s body and, fearing she’s going to die, immediately begins to prepare the best she can to survive.

    Only, it’s not canon Naruto-world. No, it’s an action-romance she’s in.

     

    AKA, the SI is preparing for a gritty dark-action dystopian, while the rest of the cast are under the impression they're in a romantasy.

    Summary

    Zorian Kazinski is the third son of a minor merchant house, yet everyone knows that's not quite right. His enemies have eyes everywhere, and while he doesn't fear for his own life he may end up ruining everyone else's if he isn't careful. Yet in order to learn how to keep things from spiraling out of control, Zorian will have to do the most difficult thing he's done yet: admit that his parents might have been right about some stuff.

    I thought the ending was a little abrupt and didn't resolve enough of the character arcs, so I started imagining how things would develop for some of the more interesting minor characters. One thing led to another and now I've got this fic in my head.

    Summary

    Summary: When Dr. Michael Chen, a mechanical engineer with a penchant for lean manufacturing, wakes up in the freezing body of a newborn Eddard Stark, he knows two things: Winter is coming, and the current technological level of Westeros is woefully insufficient to survive it. Determined to save his family from their canonical fates, Ned replaces honor with infrastructure. He builds glass gardens to feed the North, paper mills to spread knowledge, and a concrete fortress to lock the Neck. But technology cannot solve every problem.

    To save the realm, Ned must play the game of thrones—not with whispers, but with audits. He forms an unlikely "Board of Directors" to purge the Crown's debt and turns the Night’s Watch into an industrial war machine.

    An ASOIAF SI/Uplift story where Ned Stark is an Engineer, Joffrey Baratheon is terrifyingly competent, and Robert Baratheon finally finds a war worthy of his hammer.
