November 24, 1926. One night. 2,500 souls. A ship deemed unsinkable. The MS Solomon Queen is the crown jewel of the ocean-244 meters of steel, luxury, and ambition cutting through the Marvegan waters. For young journalist Evelyn Fairchild, it's supposed to be a routine assignment. For heiress Meret Mert-Kau, it's an escape to freedom. For film producer Charles Rinkewicz, it's a celebration of success. But when a violent storm strikes and a fatal mistake unfolds in the vehicle deck, the Queen begins her slow descent into the abyss. As icy water floods the corridors and lifeboats become battlegrounds, class barriers shatter. Love blooms in the chaos. Heroes emerge from the darkness. And 2,500 lives hang in the balance as the ocean claims its prey. Based on the tragic sinking that shocked Alterra, "The Queen's Downfall" weaves together the stories of passengers from all walks of life -immigrants chasing dreams, aristocrats hiding secrets, crew members making impossible choices- in their final hours aboard the world's most magnificent ship. *Some will survive.

A Downton Abbey fanfic In the winter of 1898, a mysterious bundle is left on the steps of Downton Abbey-an infant girl of Chinese heritage, swaddled in silk and with no clue to her origins beyond a jade pendant tucked into her blanket. Moved by compassion, Lord and Lady Grantham adopt the child and name her Antea Li Crawley, raising her alongside their own daughters as the youngest Crawley girl. Despite whispers in the village and the rigid expectations of Edwardian society, Antea grows into a poised and brilliant young woman, deeply loyal to her family and determined to find her place in a world that never quite knows what to make of her. By 1917, as the First World War casts its long shadow across England, Downton Abbey has been converted into a convalescent home. Now nineteen, Antea trains as a nurse under her strong-willed sister Sybil, tending to wounded soldiers with grace and tenacity. Amid the chaos of war, she finds an unlikely ally in Thomas Barrow, the wounded footman turned medical orderly, who has returned to Downton after taking a bullet to the back of his hand on the front lines. Antea and Thomas-both outsiders in their own ways-strike up a tentative friendship, bound by long shifts, whispered confessions, and shared cigarettes in the cold night air. As months become years, their bond deepens. In a house built on tradition and appearances, Antea's quiet defiance and Thomas's guarded vulnerability slowly open something neither expected: the possibility of love. But with social expectations, personal demons, and secrets that refuse to stay buried, both Antea and Thomas must face whether their connection can truly survive in a world that may never accept them-let alone allow them to be together.

MST AND CONTINUE WEEKLY AFTERWARD) -- **BOOK 2 IN THE TALES FROM DROMISSE SERIES** This is a nightmare that can't be escaped by waking up. Silvia's best efforts to change the course of the dream world of Dromisse fail after Duncan's true identity is publicly rediscovered. In the wake of his reveal, other individuals manifest their influences within the world: the entrepreneurial Daedalus; the cold Crown; the enigmatic Dove; each there to either help or hurt its inhabitants, or perhaps both. As Silvia wakes up to the reality of her situation, the need to break her destructive promise with the earring becomes urgent when enemies old and new threaten her. But the strange will of the multicolored earring-and other objects: the sword, a pair of wings, and a peculiar book-might be stronger than those who made unwise promises to them. These artifacts, otherworldly and unpredictable, are capable of creating powerful, reality-altering dreams, and dangerous, too-real nightmares. And the Nightmare wants nothing more than to exist, to freely torture all of the world. With the uncontrollable power of the earring, such a future is too dangerously possible. With the clock ticking down until Rimis' manifestation into the real world, individual agendas clash with desires to protect the world from his destructive power. Each side believes they are in the right and the others are in the wrong, and each lays a claim on one of the multicolored objects. All agree on the danger Rimis poses, but disagree on how to deal with him. And these disagreements may bring about the end of reality itself. -- Novel by Phoenix Apprentice and Kechel Inkwell

"What just happened?" "Oh, uh, you wanted me gone," she said tauntingly slowly, relishing in the annoyed flattening of Alastor's ears when she shot a pair of raised middle fingers in his direction. "So fuck you, I'm staying." "No. No, no. No." With every pointless refusal, he took another step towards her. "Absolutely not-" "Madison!" Moving as if she was afraid that anything less than the instant presentation of the aforementioned key would result in Madison's sudden departure, Charlie slid to a precarious stop before her. "Your key." "Thank you, honey." Alastor's afflicted carmine eyes flitted between the doe demon, Hell's princess, and the key being passed from one hand to another, smile pulling tighter as she sent him a smug look over the blonde's shoulder. "You cannot stay here. This is my-" His assertion was interrupted by the shorter demoness encroaching on his space. With a flourish, she tapped the bow of her key against the tip of his nose, her arm lurching out and up when he made a swipe for it, her own grin widening madly as she cooed; "What's yours is mine, hubby."
