Welcome to Hourglass City-a thriving metropolis a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Steam Sea and the Brassmere Ocean and all the cultures of the known world. On the surface, the wise Council and the Ministers of each Guild rule fairly and firmly, ensuring that everybody has an opportunity to hone their natural gifts, join a Guild, and lead a prosperous life. Other city-states of the same era have succumbed to war and internal strife, but Hourglass City has risen above them all. With the different components of society coming together to allow Hourglass City to function like a well-oiled machine, life is as structured and as predictable as clockwork. However, behind the gears and parasols and mechanical wings, a more sinister force lurks; unseen, unheard, and unsuspected. Welcome to Hourglass City-a city of scones and sorcery, corsets and conspiracies, airships and alchemy, ball gowns and betrayal; a city of magic and machinery. A city filled to the brim with the stories of its plots, ploys, and people. When life is like clockwork, something is bound to go awry. But when, you ask? That, my friend, only time will tell. *Based on a roleplay created by @itsnotsocomplicated and I* ((This story is my 2016 NaNoWriMo project.

After Rabbit's malfunction on stage during the song "Honeybee", the 'young' robot left the Walter Robotics building where he and his brothers lived to be on his own for a bit after they powered down. That is, until he found something interesting on the path; two silver clockwork keys. Curious robot that he was, Rabbit went to find who they belonged to, seeing a hand coming out from behind a bush. There, amongst the broken branches and dead leaves, he found the owners of the keys; two broken clockwork dolls who looked younger than him and his brothers, seemingly identical twins. Their eyes were shut and cracks in their faces and limbs revealing their clockwork insides. Rabbit decides to take them back to the robotics centre, and wind them up to see if they worked, alerting his brothers in the process... *A/N; I don't own Steam Powered Giraffe, I only own the Clockwork Twins a.k.a Doll and Clocky.

Jaeger Genesis is the first installment in the never before seen Clockwork Dreams series. It follows the story of U.S. Army Ranger Lieutenant John Halsey as he navigates a world rife with political turmoil and uncertainty. The third gulf war that eventually led to a Limited Exchange between NATO forces and the New Soviet Union would follow him home. Between the ghost of the dead, a growing privatized police force, and decisions no man should ever be forced to make, Halsey finds himself at the forefront of it all. Why is Valentine Security Solutions buying out all the competition? Who is supplying the Soviets with American drone technology? Why is Military Intelligence so interested in a failed Super Soldier program? And where the hell can a man get a decent cup of coffee these days? All of these questions and more will be answered with each installment.
