Desert Stories

"Find me in the dark, for I know not how to hold my light between the demons which resides into my soul" ~The Caliph ❁ "You have my world in your hands, what else do you want?" she asked, her heart burning with vengeance and unnamed desires. "Heart. I shall possess your heart, ya hayati. I shall own yours for I lack what is considered the most strongest driving entity." said the enemy to the Malika of Baghdad. She knew, that day will never come, as he himself break hers in millions of pieces. She will never love him, even if he's the Caliph of Baghdad. ❁

They say the desert forgets everything. But this time... it remembers. In a world where names are more dangerous than blades and silence hides ancient empires beneath the sand, a cursed bloodline wanders without rest-doomed to search for something that was never meant to be found. Salem Al-Noor has spent his life running from whispers he cannot silence and a mark that moves beneath his skin like it is alive. He believes the desert is empty. Until it starts calling him by name. Then he meets Arezou Varesh, a girl who does not see the world as it is-but as it truly is. She can see the hidden names of things... even the ones that should not exist. Even his. When their paths collide, the sand begins to move like a living memory, and something buried beneath reality starts to awaken. A lost city stirs beneath the dunes. An ancient force known only as The First Word begins to echo through the world again. And the deeper they go, the more terrifying the truth becomes: The First Word was not meant to be discovered. It was meant to stay buried... with everything it imprisoned. Some truths don't reveal the world. They rewrite it.

(I do not take credit for Better Call Saul or any of its characters. This story contains some foul language, and some descriptions of the cartel/violence. This contains many chapters and is still being written, so please be patient!!) After Hector Salamanca's sudden health decline, Lalo Salamanca travels to Albuquerque to run things- and he decides to bring his 22 year old daughter Esperanza along for the ride. Esperanza and the cartel's money distributor, Luis Varga, develop a stronger bond than they would like. While things in the cartel get grittier, Lalo gets more suspicious of his daughter's affairs with Luis. How will Luis and Esperanza manage their feelings for each other whilst Luis deals with the grief of the death of his older brother, and Esperanza desperately tries to prove herself to her father? (This story takes place during seasons 4, 5, and 6 of bcs. Most plot points are the same to the show, except in this universe Lalo has a daughter and Nacho has already passed away, and his younger brother Luis is here to replace him. PLEASE do not be disrespectful, this is just for fun, and to fulfill my joy of writing an action/romance in the bcs universe. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!) There are plot twists, character development, and most importantly lots of emotions!

This is just a fun project I just wanna work on while I'm blank on ideas for my other stories. This'll be short, maybe 10 chapters, probably less. This is gonna be heavily based off of the Fallout games, most notably Fallout 2, and a tiny little bit of Dune. This won't be a Reader story, the main character has a name. Oh, and I'll be crossposting this to AO3 if this does well, because I'm GREEDY and I LOVE BEING AN EVIL PERSON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. More info in the opening chapter.

Additional stories based off preexisting ones, giving both intriguing context and more content for hardcore fans of the universe and its characters. Rated mature for strong language, violence, sex and serious topics such as mental health, sexuality, religion and discrimination.

Zenobia is not the queen the history books promised. She is a widow in hardened leather, a huntress who sharpens her iron with the same ruthless precision she uses to command an empire.

From the sandstone ridges of Palmyra to the marble halls of Rome, this is the story of a woman who wore a crown of thorns and a chain of gold-and dared the world to break her. She didn't just challenge an empire. She made it bleed.

A desert train. A wrong adventure. And a love story born in the middle of fear. Ali and his younger sister Aiza were known for their adventurous trips across India. What started as another thrilling journey soon turned into the biggest mistake of their lives when they traveled to a remote desert region of Afghanistan to witness the mysterious iron-ore train said to resemble the legendary Sahara desert train. But one night changed everything. Caught between ruthless desert raiders known as the Desert Wolves and a land where survival mattered more than freedom, the siblings found themselves trapped far away from home. Their only support became Arham Uncle, a kind police officer who gave them shelter and treated them like family alongside his daughter, Inara. Years passed in silence, hidden identities, and fear. Then came Harris. The feared leader of the Desert Wolves. A man Aiza feared from the very first moment she saw him. A man whose presence always brought chaos into her life. But somewhere between forced fate, painful separation, escape, and years of distance... something unexpected began to grow. Not fear. Not obsession. Something far more complicated. Love. A love that changed a dangerous man into someone willing to destroy his own violent past for one person. A love that survived distance, guilt, time, and borders. From dusty desert trains and horse-riding raiders to emotional reunions, family bonds, healing, sacrifice, and second chances - this story is an emotional journey about survival, redemption, and choosing your own destiny. Because sometimes... the most dangerous journey becomes the one that leads you home.

When Rango wakes up in a stormy night because of shots outside of the town, he finds Bill unconsciously in the desert. But shortly after that, Bill disappears. Nobody cares but Rango can't forget a question: Is Bill dead or still alive?

The desert will call them home, and the stars shall bear witness. The heart that was broken shall beat once more, but at a cost no soul is willing to pay. For what was lost cannot be reclaimed without sacrifice. And when the time comes, the desert shall awaken. The sands remember. The stars remember. And soon... so shall they. "The shadows shall walk as one. A star shall fall, and the sands will stir." And the heart that was broken shall beat once more.

The adventurous journey continues. After Dave suddenly finds himself blackmailed by the IRA, Tom and Martin travel to London to help him solve the problem. In the process they get to know other "right people", the German TV cameramen Hans and Reiner and the musicians of the reggae band "The Uptones". In the course of the year, Tom and Martin travel to Northern Ireland, where they meet Barry Madden, the head of finance of the IRA, who turns out to be a "very nice murderer". They meet a similarly "nice murderer", namely the Libyan head of state, Col. Gaddafi, when they accompany Madden on a secret trip to Libya, where he strikes an "arms for information" deal. Gaddafi offers generous financial support to the Greek resistance organization in return for information from the NATO base at Souda Bay on Crete, from where he fears an attack on his country. But in Greece, too, there are further adventures to be had. For example Philipos, the youngest, cheekiest and most precocious member of the group, on a mission that the group is carrying out in Kastoria in northern Greece, finds himself in a cellar with 100 skulls and a zombie, which is a big, albeit embarrassing, step on his path to adulthood. Time and again Tom and his friends get into unpredictable, dangerous situations, which they survive because the members of their group now understand each other other blindly, become braver each time and learn from their mistakes. Of course there are news about the love triangle of Tom - Sophia - Nikos, and love affairs also emerge among the other members of the resistance group. As I said - the journey continues, more adventurous, more dangerous, more exciting. This is a work of fiction, although I thoroughly researched the historical facts. New chapters will be uploaded every Friday.
