    [AKOTSK] Daeron Targaryen had expected to spend a miserable week at a miserable inn about a day's walk from the miserable tourney at ashford he was trying to avoid. Then all of a sudden, a strange barmaid sullies those plans of his and he finds himself entirely at her disposal, like a man bewitched. Gods save him and Gods save the rest of the realm from the darkness the barmaid claims is about to take over them. Or In which, James Lindsey Baudelaire, or Jamie - as she preferred, is sent to Westeros after a particularly bad car accident. Now, with her knowledge of the show and the books, she has to try her best to save these strange people she's grown so incredibly fond of.

    Krypton didn't just fall-it vanished into the void, taking Kara Zor-El's entire world with it. But instead of landing on Earth under a gentle sky, her escape pod shattered through a cosmic tear, crashing into the dark, storm-lashed seas of Dragonstone during the reign of King Viserys I. Found bleeding in the surf by Prince Daemon Targaryen, the silver-haired girl with starry eyes and a strange white hound was given a new name, a false lineage, and a dangerous secret. Claimed as the Rogue Prince's bastard daughter, "Kara Targaryen" spent a decade drowning her survivor's guilt in Arbor red, sparring with dragonlords, and suppressing god-like powers in a medieval world that couldn't comprehend what she was. Now, as King Viserys breathes his last and the Dance of the Dragons threatens to turn the Seven Kingdoms to ashes, the jaded bastard of Dragonstone faces a choice. She can watch her adoptive family tear itself apart-or she can step out of the shadows, unleash the sun's fire, and force a bloody realm to heal.

    He expected to become the forgotten god. Instead, he inherited the greatest kingdom in creation. A man from the modern world awakens as Hades, moments after Zeus frees his siblings from Kronos. Armed with modern knowledge of civilisation, governance, architecture, and history, he quickly realises mythology got one thing wrong. The Underworld isn't the worst realm. It's the most valuable. While Zeus celebrates atop Olympus and Poseidon dreams of Atlantis, Hades quietly transforms an empty wasteland into the greatest civilisation in creation. Cities replace barren caverns, justice replaces arbitrary judgment, reincarnation replaces endless stagnation, and libraries, universities, industries, and thriving societies give every soul purpose after death. Long before the Olympians recognise humanity's potential, Hades teaches the first mortals how to read, write, build cities, create laws, and govern themselves. Cave dwellers become flourishing civilisations centuries ahead of their time, while temples dedicated to the Chthonic Gods spread across the world through respect rather than fear. As worship empowers the gods and every mortal soul ultimately belongs to the Underworld, Zeus slowly realises the truth: the quiet brother everyone pitied, the commander who truly won the Titanomachy, and the king who smiled when given the "worst" realm had planned everything from the beginning. Sometimes the greatest victory isn't winning the throne everyone wants. It's recognising the value of the throne everyone else overlooked. What to Expect Kingdom-building • Competent SI Hades • Greek Mythology • Politics • Architecture • Civilization Building • Long-Term Planning • A Reimagined Underworld This is an original work; any ideas are either mine or inspired. In the latter case, an acknowledgement will be given.

    The Girl Who Became Petunia Evans She died in her world... only to wake up as Petunia Evans. She knows the story. She knows about magic, Hogwarts, Voldemort, Harry Potter-and the people who are supposed to shape the future. But this Petunia isn't going to follow the original script. With sealed magic waiting to be unlocked, a mysterious new power, and knowledge of a future that hasn't happened yet, she plans to protect her family, change Hogwarts, build an empire in both worlds, and expose the people manipulating the wizarding world. Along the way, she'll grow from a lonely young girl into a powerful witch-and her childhood friendship with Severus Snape may eventually become something much deeper. But every change creates another. She knew how the story was supposed to end. She just never expected to become the one rewriting it.

    "A throne is just iron. An empire is built on iron, grain, and absolute discipline." She doesn't know who she was before she woke in the ashes of Khal Drogo's pyre. Her old name is gone. Her old face is forgotten. But as Daenerys Targaryen, she possesses an uncanny, instinctual grasp of logistics, power, and statecraft that no young queen should have. She wears the silks and leathers of the East, speaks with the commanding cadence of House Targaryen, and commands three growing dragons. But while the lords of Westeros bleed their lands dry fighting over a crown, Daenerys turns her back on their game. Let Westeros tear itself to pieces. The Mother of Dragons is building something that will outlast them all.

    Los Angeles, 1992. Amara Cole is a 27-year-old singer-songwriter scraping by on club gigs and session work, writing songs no one wants to hear. She has a voice that can break you and a heart that's already half-broken from loving music more than people. Then she walks into a private studio one rainy night and finds him. Michael Jackson doesn't just listen to her song. He *hears* it. The same way she hears the ache underneath every note he sings. What starts as one stolen studio session becomes late-night phone calls, secret songwriting, charged silences, and a connection so intense it feels dangerous. He is the most famous man on earth. She is no one. And yet every time their eyes meet, the rest of the world disappears. Slow-burn. Soulmates. Music as love language. Emotional. Obsessive. Tender. And when the fire finally catches... it burns.

    Before Lily Evans married James Potter, she had a daughter-and gave the newborn entirely into the custody of her father, Lt. Surge. Raised in Vermilion City among Pokémon, Gym battles, and Electric-types, Surge's daughter grows up knowing nothing about witches, wizards, or the little brother named Harry Potter she never knew existed. Then Professor McGonagall arrives at the Vermilion Gym with an impossible revelation. She's a witch. With Elekid at her side and her Pokémon team coming with her, she travels to Hogwarts, where the Sorting Hat places her in Slytherin. But Hogwarts soon discovers that Lt. Surge's daughter doesn't think like a witch. She doesn't see Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins. She sees potential. Friends. Rivals. Teammates. People whose strengths might complement her own. As Harry Potter's story unfolds much as destiny intended, his older sister makes her own choices-sometimes helping him, sometimes refusing, and sometimes changing events simply because she refuses to accept that this is how things have always been done. She's a Slytherin. She's a witch. She's a Pokémon Trainer. And Hogwarts has never encountered anything quite like Lt. Surge's daughter.

But in this Forks, vampires don't sparkle in the sun, and hearts aren't so easily won. As she watches Edward, Alice, and Bella forge an unexpected bond, Vespera must contend with the presence of Jasper Whitlock: a cold, authoritarian, and lethal predator who seeks not redemption, but his mate.

The gears of fate continue to turn toward an inevitable dawn. Then comes Monkey D. Valt. Born on Ohara. Raised by the Revolutionaries. Older brother to Luffy. Armed with a Wind Devil Fruit, a mysterious compass that always points toward the impossible, and an uncanny talent for turning disasters into adventures, Valt sets sail with ambitions that would shake the seas. Not because destiny chose him. But because he chose them. As his crew grows, kingdoms fall into chaos, forgotten truths resurface, and the balance of the world begins to shift years before canon ever begins.

    Harriet Potter died saving a world that never truly knew how to love her. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Death offers her something unexpected: a second life. A life without prophecies. Without war. Without the crushing burden of being The Girl-Who-Lived. Reborn in Domino City with fragmented memories and a soul touched by magic, Harriet is found by Joey Wheeler and slowly pulled into a life she never thought she deserved. Family dinners. Late-night duels. Friends who protect her as fiercely as she protects them. For the first time, Harriet begins learning what it means to be chosen instead of needed. But Domino City hides ancient darkness beneath its neon lights. Shadow Games. Millennium Items. Ancient Gods. Soul magic older than memory itself. And at the center of it all stands Seto Kaiba - brilliant, guarded, impossible - a man whose soul seems intertwined with hers across lifetimes. Because some bonds do not break with death. They wait. She died once for people who never chose her. This time? Harriet intends to live for the people who do.
