    It's the year 1933. On the dim, jazz-filled streets of New York City, vampires and human beings live side by side for the first time in history. Their peace is enforced by the notorious Michael "MJ" Jackson, the head of the vampire gang that controls the city. When a war that threatens the welfare of humans begins to loom in the shadows, however, MJ's power is threatened for the first time in his life. Escaping a grim past, Leila Winslet is a new human resident of the city. When she one day crosses paths with MJ, she soon finds herself swept up into a world that she is warned about engaging in. A budding romance with the vampire boss of New York becomes the center of her world, however, and there is no pulling her from him - even amidst the threat of war. Together, MJ and Leila must solve tragic mysteries, uncover forgotten histories, and conquer harrowing fears to protect the peace that their city stands for. It's the year 1933. And on the dim, jazz-filled streets of New York City, a vampire man and a human woman create hope - even as the shadows slowly close in on them.

    ONE SQUARE. THREE FAMILIES. THREE YEARS. Before the war, they were simply neighbours. The Hartmans, the Webers, the Müllers - they passed on the cobblestones, nodded, kept their distance, and got on with their lives. The square was home. Nothing more. Then the war came. And the square changed. Slowly, almost invisibly, it became something else. It began to judge. To witness. To imprison. And that weight settled over every family, in different ways, at different times. The Hartmans - once trusted by all, now guarding a secret that grows more dangerous with every passing month. The Webers - always quiet, now living in the shadow of something they must never speak aloud. The Müllers - certain and unshakable, their loyalty hardening into something absolute, unyielding. No doors are broken down in the night. No one is marched away. The terrible thing is not that something happens - it is that it could, at any moment. The threat hangs in the air, constant and unspoken. They were never close. Now they cannot look away. This is the story of how ordinary people become trapped in their own homes - not by chains, but by the slow, creeping realisation that the world they knew no longer exists. That judgment, that witness, that prison - they are all around them, and they are already inside. Three years. One square. And the silence deepens forever.

    Eleanor Kelly has never been the kind of girl to back down from a fight. Growing up behind her father's boxing ring in Brooklyn, she learned early that standing up for the people she loved was worth every bruise. That's exactly how she meets Steve Rogers-and eventually his best friend, Bucky Barnes. What starts as childhood friendship becomes an unbreakable bond, forged through scraped knees, late-night adventures, and dreams of a future untouched by war. But war changes everything. When Eleanor is captured by HYDRA, the life she once knew is ripped away. Years of pain, experiments, and isolation leave her transformed into something feared across battlefields-a ghost in white, a weapon with a name people whisper rather than speak. By the time she's finally free, the girl Bucky once knew is gone. And she's furious. Furious that he couldn't save her. Furious that he moved on. Furious that despite everything HYDRA took from her, a part of her still remembers the boy she used to love. As old wounds reopen and buried truths come to light, Eleanor and Bucky are forced to confront the past that haunts them both. But some scars run deeper than memory, and forgiveness may be the hardest battle either of them has ever faced. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story filled with heartbreak, loyalty, war, and two damaged souls trying to find their way back to each other.

    !!! DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT !!! AIITBS is a story inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, starting in Boston Massachusetts in the year 1934. It starrs young scholar and occultist Nathaniel Butler, of the obscenely wealthy Butler family, who's dealings in magic and alchemy force him into misadventures of the certainly eldritch variety. This story is quite a ways from being finished but I already have an ending in mind, so I am confident that it will be in time. Please be patient and I hope you have fun while reading!

    [original artwork for the cover belongs to soma05am on Reddit] (that's were I found the art) Alastor was a mystery to many. Not a lot knew who he was when alive, and even less knew about the woman he loved. However, when looking deep into the New Orleans history, one could find a case overshadowed by many. --- You weren't a good person. Nor were you a nice one. All you cared about was living your afterlife in peace with your husband with the occasional fight. Though, ever since he left for seven years you became more of a hermit than you already were, shrouded in mystery and darkness. But when he comes back from whatever it was, he offers you a job at a redemption hotel, and though it may be an annoying job with annoying coworkers, you're doing this for him. The only person you love. Alastor Auclair. The only person to ever make you smile.

    - If you get us killed, Hurley, I will personally haunt you for the rest of your miserable afterlife. - Sweetheart, if we get killed, I'll be too busy buying you a drink in hell to care. Florence Thorne is a New York academic in the year of 1933, who is far more comfortable sorting dusty museum archives than dodging jungle traps. But when her obsessive scientist father vanishes into the uncharted depths of the Congo, Flora has no choice but to swap her ink-stained pens for a pair of field boots. Her rescue mission goes disastrously wrong when she is left stranded in the green wilderness. Lost, desperate, and definitely not dressed for a trek, she bumps into Jack Hurley (for her luck... Or not). Jack is a rugged, charismatic, and entirely reckless Australian outfitter with a smirk that should be classified as a hazard. He is broke, incredibly charming, and hunting down the exact same ancient, glowing relic her father is. She thinks he's a crude, reckless brute who doesn't take a single thing seriously while he thinks she's a rigid, rule-following little scholar who won't survive a week in his shoes. To survive the wilderness, criminals, saboteurs and the secrets of a hidden waterfall, this unlikely duo must work together. Can a sharp-witted nerdy girl and a reckless Aussie survive the jungle... And each other? ✨ PEEK ✨ ✦ 1930s Pulp Adventure Vibes ✦ Opposites Attract / Nerdy Girl x Reckless Guy ✦ Strong, Charismatic Australian Guy (With plenty of dry Aussie humor) ✦ Enemies-to-Lovers & Slow Burn Romance (not that slow tho ;)) ✦ Forced Proximity (Only one tree-canopy bed!) ✦ Moral Gray Villains & Dangerous Ancient Mysteries

    "Don't touch that dial, seekers of adventure! Live from the Crescent City, you've tuned into Alastor's Amusements! Whether you're tuning in from a penthouse in New York City or a farmhouse in Topeka, you have a wild variety of adventures awaiting your ears, friends. Sit back and prepare yourself for amusements the like of which you've never heard! Now, before we begin tonight's little parade of peculiarities, allow me to introduce your humble host. Some folks call me a raconteur, others a troublemaker, and a few-poor souls-call me their last mistake. But you, dear listener, may simply call me Alastor. I bring stories, songs, and the occasional shiver down the spine, all delivered with a smile you can hear through your speaker. In these curious times, when the whole country seems to be holding its breath and the nights - well, let's just say our evenings together have gotten much more interesting since Congress came to its senses. Speaking of, it's just about impossible to not be all smiles down at The Absinthe House on the corner of Bourbon and Bienville! And speaking of smiles, tonight's amusements feature a most intriguing gentleman from the darker corners of the Crescent City. My guest is a fellow with a taste for deals, destinies, and debts that never quite settle. Goes by the name Facilier. Tall hat, tall tales, and a talent for giving folks exactly what they think they want. A real charmer, if you don't mind the price. Together, we'll be spinning yarns of ambition, temptation, and the curious ways a man's choices can echo long after the music fades. So stay tuned, friends. Keep your hands inside the carriage, your wits about you, and your hopes... well, keep them close. You never know who might be listening."

    Harlem, 1935. Chaque soir, Nora Bell chante sous les lumières dorées d'un club de jazz. Sa voix fait rêver toute une salle, mais elle cache une douleur que personne ne connaît : son frère a disparu après avoir travaillé pour l'un des propriétaires de cabaret les plus puissants de Harlem. Un soir, un pianiste mystérieux nommé Elias Cole lui remet une photographie. Son frère y apparaît aux côtés de trois hommes influents. Au dos de l'image, une seule phrase : « La vérité sera jouée à minuit. » Nora décide de découvrir ce qui lui est arrivé. Avec Elias, elle plonge dans les coulisses du Harlem nocturne : clubs de jazz, salles de spectacle, appartements luxueux et arrière-salles où se négocient des affaires que personne ne doit découvrir. Mais derrière les lumières, les costumes et la musique se cache un réseau de secrets reliant certains clubs, des hommes puissants et une affaire qui pourrait bouleverser Harlem. Plus Nora approche de la vérité, plus le danger se rapproche d'elle. Et lorsque minuit arrivera, elle devra monter sur scène une dernière fois. Car parfois, une chanson peut révéler ce que des années de silence ont tenté de cacher. Dans une ville où tout le monde danse, les secrets sont les seuls à ne jamais s'arrêter.

    GUYS THIS STARTS GETTING PROOFREAD AROUND CHAPTER 11 I PROMISE! Also if you're looking for the good stuff it starts at chapter 7 Julius and Julian Caesar of Portland, Oregon aren't exactly normal 19-year-olds- No, they're anything but normal. When they split up in June 1937, at the age of 18, their already shaky brotherly relationship came to a complete close. * * * 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝘂𝘀 became a researcher and undercover murderer/criminal. He studies anomalies- stuff that's happening in town. He writes his research results and theories in his notebooks. There's something VERY wrong with Portland, and not just taxes. Now, Julius isn't one to murder without good reason. And when the right reason comes, you'd best believe that he'll be right behind you. 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 * * * 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 became a serial criminal and con artist. After constantly switching locations (he got banned in multiple states), he finally settled in Pennsylvania. Living in a run-down apartment without any cash, a job, and food, he had to find a way to make money, and fast. It isn't easy being on the run. 𝗥𝘂𝗻 * * * After about a year, when the brothers finally reunite in Portland, their relationship still feels very rocky. They apply for jobs, and (quite surprisingly for Julian), get them. That's how Rookie Police Officer Julius Caesar and Movie Theatre Worker Julian Caesar ended up going to Portland State University together and making friends with the one and only Julia Mathers. P.S. This has nothing to do with THE Julius Caesar, I just loved his name 😇 P.P.S. This is my first story that isn't a Harry Potter fanfiction so be supportive 😭
