On April 24, 2004, an impossible archway opened on the South Lawn of the White House. What followed wasn't a clean invasion or a neat first contact; it was chaos, confusion, and a brutal fight for survival as soldiers faced enemies that shouldn't exist and weapons that didn't obey familiar rules. Staff Sergeant Michael Alvarez, a D.C. National Guard MP, survives Day Zero by performing his trained duty: maintaining the line. But when the smoke clears, the gate doesn't close, and the world doesn't get answers. As the U.S. government locks down the truth and builds a permanent foothold around the anomaly, something becomes clear: the Gate is not a temporary crisis. It's a new geographic fact of reality, linking Earth to a ruined capital in another world that fears the Gate as much as humanity does. No heroes. No prophecy. No effortless victories. The White House Event is a grounded, military-focused first-contact story about uncertainty, institutional pressure, and what happens when humanity realizes that the unknown and themselves are permanent.

The year is 1935. It was an era when numerous giant luxury liners fiercely competed across the Atlantic. Yet, even in East Asia, a region that should have been left behind in this dinosaur-like evolution, an ambitious passenger ship construction plan began, spurred by a whim of Puyi, the Emperor of Manchukuo! A plan that any sane person would have rejected immediately, it somehow managed to secure powerful support from various related parties in Japan and, before anyone knew it, had become an established fact. The unprecedented large cargo-passenger ship Wenshu, designed to carry the super Asia Express departing from Xinjing and, one day, transport guests via Moji to Tokyo. She was meant to be the face of Manchukuo at the Tokyo Olympic Games, a vessel whose prestige would be demonstrated through grand-scale operation... though this rarely happened. Due to the worsening external situation, she was ultimately recommissioned as a warship of the Imperial Navy. An innovative new warship, combining aircraft operational capability with the functions of a landing ship. That is the converted aircraft carrier Ten'yō! RELEASE: 2021 (TL INCOMPLETE)

[ONGOING STORY] A nation can imprison a man, but not an idea. Set against the backdrop of a futuristic society ruled by the iron fist of an ultranationalist-fascist regime, a group of masked individuals are drawn together by circumstance and tragedy. Hidden behind their identities and haunted by their pasts, they become unwilling witnesses to a nation unraveling beneath tyranny, corruption, fear, oppression, decadence, and silence. As unrest spreads and the regime's grip begins to crack, they find themselves caught between obedience and resistance, survival and conviction. Bound by loss, disillusionment, and a shared longing for change, they must navigate a world where truth is suppressed, dissent is punished, and hope itself is treated as a threat. But beyond every mask lies a truth waiting to be uncovered, and some truths are powerful enough to awaken the people. A novel in memory of a long-forgotten revolution.

A story of Wei Yan, and of Chang Yu and Xie Zheng, in the world where Jinzhou never fell Wei Yan died hated. A regent with eighteen years of blood on his hands, executed in the autumn, buried far from the capital under a name he chose never to clear. He had his reasons. He always had his reasons.

The woman he has loved his whole silent life is alive and sixteen and standing beside him. The disaster that unmade the world is two hours from happening. And this time, he knows exactly how it ends. What he buys with that knowledge is not glory. It is an ordinary world.

Everyone he failed in the other life gets to live in this one, free and happy and faintly bored, and not one of them will ever know there was another world, or what it cost the quiet old minister at the edge of the room to take it off them. A gentle story about second chances, the people we would save if we could, and the particular loneliness of being the only one left who remembers the life that never happened.

Two summers. Two choices. One love that outlasted an empire. The Long Summer For nearly fifty years, Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich carried the memory of a single midsummer evening. In June 1891, at Fredensborg Palace in Denmark, a young Romanov prince met a princess with ribbons in her hair, a flower garland in her curls, and laughter bright enough to capture his attention despite every effort to avoid it. While Europe's royal families gathered to celebrate Princess Elena's eighteenth birthday, neither of them could have imagined the path that lay ahead. Their story would span the final decades of Imperial Russia, the glittering world of Europe's royal courts, the heartbreak of revolution, and the loss of everything they had once called home. When the Romanov dynasty falls, Alexander faces a choice between loyalty to an empire and loyalty to the people he loves. Choosing his wife and children, he leads his family into exile, carrying with him little more than memories, hope, and the woman who had become the center of his world. From the lantern-lit gardens of Fredensborg to the quiet halls of an English country estate, The Long Summer follows one family across half a century of triumph, tragedy, and change. At its heart is a love story-not of crowns or power, but of endurance. A story of grandchildren gathered around a library fire. Of a husband who never forgot the sound of his wife's laughter. And of a midsummer evening that lasted a lifetime.

In this alternate timeline, the Cold War takes a different turn after World War II, leading to the emergence of a third bloc: The Oceania Pact-a powerful geopolitical alliance of Pacific and Southern Hemisphere nations.

Some bonds are stronger than time. When Gabriel is pulled from the future into 1862, he believes survival is the hardest part. He's wrong. The real danger lies in the people he meets, the connections he makes. How time repeats, fractured memories of a future that hasn't happened yet, as he meets two brothers, divided by war, bound by blood, and unknowingly tied to his own existence. As battles rage and history begins to shift, Gabriel becomes something impossible: a man claimed by time itself. The past remembers him. The future fractures because of him. Timebound is a story about family, identity, and the terrible weight of choosing who lives, who dies, and who history remembers.

At ang katotohanang minsan, ang korona ay mas mabigat kaysa espada.

The Dominium Crucis has ruled Europe for centuries. Its faith is law, its cross is a sword. Those born different - those who dream what they shouldn't dream, who move objects with their minds, who feel the world the wrong way - disappear. The Inquisition takes care of that. On the Piedmontese heights, a man with white hair and eyes the color of the sun witnesses something he will never forget. Not because it frightens him. But because for the first time in his existence he feels something he cannot yet name. This is the first chapter of Is This God's Dream? - a story about faith, power, and what it means to be human when you're not sure you are.

In this story, we journey into the depths of the "Void Century," where time shatters and shadows consume the truth. ⏳🌑 If you are drawn to dark fantasy stories, epic novels, and historical narratives, this is your sanctuary.

Julian Cross has spent his life teaching that history is never truly dead. Then a letter from Korea proves it. After inheriting the mysterious Han Pavilion Estate, Julian is pulled into a family curse his mother spent her life running from. Records change. Photographs move. A red thread appears where it should not exist. And somewhere beyond the locked doors of the pavilion, a man from the past keeps calling Julian by a name he barely remembers. Han Jiwon. When Julian slips into an alternate past, he meets Baek Tae-oh, a dangerous and feared gangster leader whose life is tied to the curse in ways neither of them understand. Tae-oh is ruthless, guarded, and impossible to trust. But he is also the one person who keeps saving Julian when the red thread tries to claim him. As Julian uncovers the truth behind his family's erased history, the curse begins to tighten. The past bleeds into the present. The dead refuse to stay silent. And every step closer to Tae-oh makes the Red Thread more dangerous. Because this is not a love story fate wants to bless. It is one fate wants to use. To break the curse, Julian must uncover what his family buried, face the door that has been feeding on grief for generations, and decide whether love is worth crossing time for. But the Red Thread does not give without taking. And if Julian chooses Tae-oh, both the past and future may change forever. A dark, emotional, Korean-drama-inspired BL time-slip fantasy romance about family secrets, cursed fate, dangerous love, and the choice to rewrite what was never meant to be survived. Author's Note A Step in Time is a slow-burn BL fantasy romance with time-slip mystery. The historical setting is an alternate timeline inspired by Korean drama and fantasy. It is not meant to be strict real-world history. AI-Assisted Disclosure: This story was written with AI assistance.

A human should not bleed liquid gold, and Melody Carter is one hundred percent human. She should not be able to hear her dog speak in her mind, she shouldn't be able to emit a blinding and burning light from her palms when frightened, and cleaning her papercuts should certainly not leave behind a shimmery, gold-tinted residue on her skin that she just can't seem to wash off. So, when strange happenings spiral out of control, twenty-eight-year-old Melody leaves her isolated human settlement to look for witches that might have more information. Searching for answers, Melody travels to Boone, NC. However, it is only a matter of time before she discovers that students from the Other Studies program at the local college are disappearing, and if she isn't careful, she'll be next on the list of those missing. Complicating things further, she finds herself absolutely and inexplicably enamored with Hartley Allade, a handsome professor at the Appalachian Teacher's College... and a full-blooded Other who refuses to disclose his personal history. Follow Melody, Hartley, and golden retriever Chief in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #3 in the Appalachian Magic book series.

The St. James family survives on beauty, privilege, and scandal. This season, blood runs closer to the heart. Clara Ellery has always known how to play the game-smile when expected, charm when useful, and never let society think it understands her too well. Then there is Bolton St. James. A man who does not merely enter a room-he takes it. Dangerously magnetic, infuriatingly self-assured, and exactly the sort of man Clara should avoid. Naturally, she flirts with him instead. But attraction is the easiest part of scandal. Because old wounds do not stay buried. Some women are not easily forgotten. And in Valerique, love is rarely just love. It is leverage. Temptation. War. And some hearts are destined to break in scarlet.
