Dieselpunk Stories

When the enigmatic Lutece twins emerge from a reality-tearing rift in the forests of Patch, Team RWBY is pulled into a high-stakes multiversal contract. Their mission: infiltrate the floating, steampunk metropolis of Columbia in 1912 and rescue a girl named Elizabeth. But Columbia is a city built on the clouds and fueled by blood, religious zealotry, and the twisted machinations of the Prophet, Zachary Hale Comstock. As the huntresses navigate a world of floating skylines, brutal class warfare, and lethal "Vigors," they discover a truth that shatters everything: Elizabeth is not just a captive-she is a multiversal variant of Ruby Rose herself. Bound by a shared soul-seed and the silver eyes of a Huntress, the two girls are two sides of a singular, dangerous destiny. Now, caught between the gears of a crumbling empire and a man who could have been their own father in another life, Team RWBY must fight to save the sister they never knew. In a city where tears in reality reveal the dark cost of salvation, Ruby and her team must learn that while some debts are inherited, the choice to break the cycle is theirs alone. Constants and Variables. Hearts and Steel. The sky is falling, and the petals are beginning to drift.

There is a war in the British-American empire. A devastating force from outer space is destroying and firebombing the world. This alternative fiction world of a steampunk Victorian era is coming to an end. It is the last and final war for humanity.

Naomi had all it took to become the perfect isekai protagonist; a fixation on a fictional character, a boring an monotonous job, and a motorway frequented by many truck-kuns by her apartment. That was how she ended up transmigrated into her favourite novel. With an extensive knowledge of the world and its characters, she quickly got herself hired by her no-longer-fictional crush Lady June. Despite having no experience as a maid, she worked hard to help her Lady, as she knew of all the hardships Lady June had gone through. But how much can one truly know about a person from a few paragraphs in a novel? Paragraphs that are few and far between, and that are up for subjective interpretation.

Two nations collide during a period of turmoil. Literally. As fuel becomes more scarce and winds become stronger, it's becoming harder and harder to pilot the giant floating islands that make up the territories of each nation away from each other. And that makes for a very interesting political dilemma; what do you do if you're enemy is drifting uncontrollably towards you? You're first option is to drift the other way. The second is to push back. We did the latter, and now we're broke. No fuel, no food, little water and hundreds have already lost their lives; our only option is to surrender. Or, we can preform an over the top espionage mission to steal vital technology for sustainable energy production from a previously neutral nation. Yeah, we'll do that one instead.

Aiden Thibodaux- a sharp-tongued American prodigy from the jazz-soaked streets of Louisiana - arrives at Vienna University with little more than raw talent, stubborn ambition, and a scholarship he cannot afford to lose. Forced to collaborate on a classified transmitter project, their worlds collide. What begins as rivalry and cultural friction slowly turns into stolen glances, midnight frequencies, and a connection neither empire can permit. But in an age where science is power, universities are battlefields, and every signal is being watched, their forbidden transmission may become the most beautiful - and dangerous - frequency in the world. A retro-futuristic Cold War romance about music, distance, and two hearts searching for each other through the static.
