"Marie Antoinette's Watch is a wonderful book." - William Gibson, author of Neuromancer. Across continents and into and out of the hands of royalty, revolutionaries, smugglers, thieves, and the world's greatest tech engineers, was Marie Antoinette's watch, the "160," worth an estimated $40 million in today's dollars. Perhaps the most sought after personal technology device of the last 200 years, the timepiece, designed by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet, is the launching point for a thrilling and fluidly woven set of narratives that are, in part, forbidden love story, historical document, and police procedural. Marie Antoinette's Watch also deftly lays out the history of horology and the 18th Century engineering feats attained in Paris's answer to Silicon Valley, the Île de la Cité, that made the watch the most intricate and prized personal device of its time - something that's come full circle today. In the hands of form Techcrunch's and Gizmodo editor, John Biggs, Marie Antoinette's Watch is by turns edifying and lurid, historical and utterly modern. Culminating in a heist in a Tel Aviv antiquities museum in the 1980s, Biggs tells the story of how one object can transform countries, cultures, high technology, and time itself.

A GajeelxLevi fanfic I thought up for fun. This is what happens when I get into a new fandom and drug myself with ships. Idk why the Supernatural references they just came up at a random so I went with it. I do not own the characters of Fairy Tail, they belong to their respected owner Hiro Mashima. This also goes for the Supernatural references as they two belong to the original owner. Enjoy!

Fremione...COMPLETE. Slightly AU towards the end. It's hard enough for Hermione to handle Ron's obvious jealousy when she turns up to the Yule Ball with International Quidditch star, Victor Krum, but she now has to deal with a different Weasley: Fred. When he tries to confess his feelings towards her, all comes unstuck when Hermione thinks Fred is mocking her, and they have an argument. But will this lead to something more, and how will Ron cope with his brother's new crush? After all, how can there be love without a few rivalries?
