Disclaimer: This story is based on an Europa Universalis IV alternate history mod: Ante Bellum, this story specifically covers a timeline where the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba survives the attempted reconquista of the Christians led by Francia, colonized the new world, spread Islam throughout the globe, and made it through the centuries becoming a modernized Islamic state. (Credit to Parmelion for the Ante Bellum mod) After trials and tribulations, wars fought and rebellions quelled, only for another to come. Al-Andalus is truly a unique state, built by a disgraced dinasty after facing a rebellion, losing the title of "Khalifah" to said rebellion, and fled the chaos to a fringe region where most of it's inhabitants don't even speak Arabic or practice Islam. Al-Andalus has became a place where Christians, Muslims and Jews live side by side, such tolerance was never heard of in that time period. Granted, toleration can only go so far when you're surrounded by hostile neighbors. But by some miracle, Al-Andalus prevails. With the discovery of the Americas, the Andalusians were presented with an opportunity. After the Nizzarid pretender of Egypt cut of routes from India, the Andalusians could make up for the lost trade for an oceanic Empire, and use that funding to find alternative route to India. This empire building slowly snowballing Andalusia to become the world's naval hegemon, with territories covering from Kalifurniya to Malaya. Reforms and previously flawed system of equality were rectified, religious converts at an all time high, economy is booming. But alas, just like any colonial empire. It has to come to an end eventually, the Neo-Kharijites faning the flames of revolution across the Caliphate, most breakaway peacefully, others by force. And thus, the Andalusian golden age come to an end. But in year 1976, whilst the nation faces economic stagnation, A GATE has appeared in the city of Ishbiliya, and the Caliphate finds an opportunity.

(A Blanche Monnier Wattpad Universe Part IV and an Uma Musume Fanfiction Story) "In the shadows of 1876 Poitiers, time stood still. For twenty-five years, Blanche Monnier lived as a prisoner of silence-locked away by a family that valued reputation over love. But history is about to be overtaken." When the girls of Tracen Academy experience a shared vision that tears through the fabric of time, they awaken in a world far from their own. Before them stands the Monnier estate-its heavy doors sealed, its silence suffocating. Guided by the steady resolve of Tokai Teio and the unpredictable heart of Matikanetannhauser, the Horse Girls quickly realize this is no ordinary dream. It is a mission. And more than that- it is the most important race of their lives. Against the cold authority of the Monnier family and the rigid constraints of the 19th century, the Horse Girls become a storm of impossible hope. From Oguri Cap's silent, unshakable presence at the dining table, to Gold Ship's chaotic, wall-breaking interventions, they prove that no barrier is strong enough to hold back those who run with purpose. Even in a world that was never meant to be changed, they run anyway. "The Derby Beyond Silence" is a story of narrative healing-where grief is met with speed, and silence is shattered by hooves that refuse to stop. It is a tale where a forgotten woman is no longer history's footnote, but its turning point- and where Blanche Monnier is finally given something she was denied for far too long: a chance to be seen.

When a mysterious blue flash shunts the USS Makin Island (LHD-8) and the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of the Pacific and into the world of Remnant, the laws of physics and magic collide. Stranded without GPS, satellite support, or a way home, the crew of the Wasp-class assault ship finds themselves caught between the crumbling sovereignty of the Kingdom of Atlas and the encroaching darkness of the Grimm. While the Huntsmen of Beacon Academy fight with soul-shielded heroics and magical Dust, the US Marines respond with the brutal, calculated logic of combined arms warfare, 120mm sabot rounds, and JDAM precision. As the "People from the Stars" struggle to refine Remnant's hydrocarbons and maintain their finite supplies, they realize Salem is more than a fairytale-she is a strategic threat. From the Fall of Beacon to a desperate nuclear-powered gamble to reopen the portal to Earth, this is a technothriller exploration of what happens when 21st-century American military doctrine meets a world of monsters. Logistics is a nightmare. Magic is a variable. Victory is a necessity.

ME - The Beast in Me is a psychological myth set in the suspended city of Superbia, where the Ego becomes a god, the mind a labyrinth, and identity a mask you can't take off. If you enjoy books like Percy Jackson but want a darker, more adult myth, this novel transforms classical hero trials into inner battles. Instead of Greek gods, Superbia's Pantheon rules the psyche: Narcisa Covert - the Shadow Goddess, mother of personality disorders. Overer - the Lord of Excess and Perfection. Sixteen semi-divine archetypes shape the soul's journey. The book unfolds in Thirty Acts: ten Admirations, ten Martyrs, ten Excesses - a descent into the self where the Beast is never outside you, but within. If you're searching for Percy Jackson-like mythology for adults, this novel turns divine trials into psychological truth. The Beast doesn't come from outside. It comes from you.

Newly married and thrust into life at the Romanian court, Nicholas of Romania and Princess Natalie Paley must learn to live not only with each other, but with the weight of unresolved grief, expectations, and a union born of necessity as much as affection. Court politics prove no less ruthless than those they left behind, and Nicholas soon discovers that love offers little protection against the ever-present shadow of his brother Carol, waiting abroad for the right moment to reclaim power, as well as Natalia's past. Meanwhile, Vladimir finds himself drawn to Romania more often than expected, under the pretext of family visits that quickly become something else. Old feelings resurface where they should not, and the line between restraint and inevitability grows thinner with every meeting. For Irina, marriage offers no refuge. When a devastating revelation shatters what little illusion remained, her union with Feodor becomes a façade, carefully maintained for appearances alone. Turning away from court life, she dedicates herself entirely to the creation of a new hospital, finding in purpose and service a form of fulfilment she never anticipated-and a freedom she had not known she was seeking.

Welcome to a steampunk adventure like no other! The year is 1850, an era of clanking iron and choking coal smoke. To most, the world is a place of rapid progress, but for Rab and Vanessa, it is a battlefield. They are elite vampire hunters working for a shadowy organization known only as The Firm. Born with "the Gift"-a divine enhancement that grants them superhuman strength and the ability to sense the presence of the undead-they are the hidden line of defence in a world that refuses to believe in monsters. The couple travelled to the grand, soot-stained city of Bucharest for a honeymoon, an attempt to find a moment of peace among the opera houses and fine hotels. But as their triple-hulled airship, the Sky Raven, moors above the city's brass-riveted spires, the dream of a vacation vanishes. Rab, a six-foot powerhouse of muscle and scars, feels the "Cadence"-the rhythmic, psychic thrum of an ancient evil-vibrating through the very cobblestones of the city streets. The legendary Dracula is no myth; he is a predator who has adapted to the industrial age, and his influence stretches from the dark alleys of the capital to the jagged peaks of the Carpathian Mountains. Forced back into action, Rab and Vanessa must trade their finery for iron-shod stakes and pneumatic rifles. From the opulent ballrooms of Bucharest to the freezing stone of the vampire's mountain lair, they must do what they were born to do: hunt. The peace is broken, the honeymoon is over, and the blood will flow.

Alternate History 1969. After the victory of the Axis Powers, the Empire of Japan turned from a rising militaristic nation to the colonial superpower. Such rapid change doesn't come without the price, however - now, Japan is involved in a 4-way Cold War against Germany, USA and a resurging Soviet Union. Two years ago a rebellion started in a nation of Free India, an ally of Japanese. It would soon escalate into the massive proxy civil war between Japan and the rest of the world. The story is about two Japanese soldiers who got involved in this conflict. Two total opposites, who view this war from different perspectives. An idealistic medic Yumiko Ryuugu, and a selfish marine Magane Kuroimi. Will they overcome their differences to get a chance to survive in this pointless, unjust war? Or they will finally succumb to the darkness in their hearts in this wilderness, and realise that there is no way they can allow each other to live? *There is not so much in terms of content, yet.

What If: every country on Earth stopped competing and just shared everything? I chose this one because I sometimes think we're in a simulation, and the goal of the simulation - a.k.a. the goal of life - is to see which version of us can find love. I feel like there's some version of existence where all the countries actually work together. They pull their resources together to get to the moon. They pull their resources together so everyone is fed and has a place to live and is happy. Just a non-money-centered world. The world is so centered on money that good things can't get done. I feel like with AI being available in the time that we're alive, this can probably create something pretty interesting to read.
