November 24, 1926. One night. 2,500 souls. A ship deemed unsinkable. The MS Solomon Queen is the crown jewel of the ocean-244 meters of steel, luxury, and ambition cutting through the Marvegan waters. For young journalist Evelyn Fairchild, it's supposed to be a routine assignment. For heiress Meret Mert-Kau, it's an escape to freedom. For film producer Charles Rinkewicz, it's a celebration of success. But when a violent storm strikes and a fatal mistake unfolds in the vehicle deck, the Queen begins her slow descent into the abyss. As icy water floods the corridors and lifeboats become battlegrounds, class barriers shatter. Love blooms in the chaos. Heroes emerge from the darkness. And 2,500 lives hang in the balance as the ocean claims its prey. Based on the tragic sinking that shocked Alterra, "The Queen's Downfall" weaves together the stories of passengers from all walks of life -immigrants chasing dreams, aristocrats hiding secrets, crew members making impossible choices- in their final hours aboard the world's most magnificent ship. *Some will survive. Most will not. None will ever be the same.* ⚓ Historical Fantasy Fiction | Disaster | Romance | Multiple POV 🚢 Inspired by The Sims Universe 💔 A story of courage, loss, and the price of arrogance "The ocean is the true sovereign of this world, and we are merely arrogant guests on its surface." **Warning: Contains depictions of tragedy, death, and survival that may be emotionally intense.** New chapters will be published every Tuesday. #HistoricalFiction #Disaster #MaritimeTragedy #MultiplePOV #Alterra #TheSims #Romance #Survival #ClassWarfare #Fantasy

OBLATION - it means a sacrifice given with devotion. Atharva is the university senior everyone knows. He carries the reputation of a bad boy, a playboy, and a cocky bastard. Loved by many, feared by most. Professors tolerate him; students stay wary of him. He's someone you wouldn't want to mess with. He's comfortable in his own skin-too comfortable. Almost annoyingly so. His humour never stops, not even in serious situations. Annoying... yet charming. But what happens when this unhinged thunder meets a calm and collected boy? He's just a fresher, yet he soothes something in Atharva that refuses to settle otherwise. Their energies fit perfectly against all odds. His perfections match Atharva's flaws like pieces of a puzzle-effortless, stunning, inevitable. Now, not every love story is sweet and beautiful. Some come with family issues, some with societal barriers. But what happens when a superficial deity gets involved in their love story? How will their love story survive? -------------------------^_^--------------------------- This story contains: •BxB romance •Mature scenes (not highly graphic) •Tension •Paranormal activity •Healthy obsession Trope: College sweethearts Warning: English is not my first language, so please bear with the grammatical mistakes 🙃

In the quiet village of Draphang, life moves at its own slow, peaceful pace. Suya, an energetic schoolgirl, spends her days running through familiar streets, laughing with friends, and finding comfort in the warmth of home. But on one fateful evening, the skies darken too soon, the winds shift with an unnatural force, and an eerie stillness creeps through the valley. A warning from a senior student. A desperate call from her father. A monstrous roar echoing through the silence. Something is coming. Something ancient. Something beyond human comprehension. And when it arrives, the fate of the world will be at stake. Because some legends are not just stories. Some awaken. And some... are destined to rise.

After twelve months of gruelling training Ava was ready to start driving trains, but her first day on the job did not go as planned. Driving a packed commuter train should be easy. Just follow the signals, but for an inexperienced train driver danger could easily be waiting around the next curve. A short four part drama. Since my knowledge of how railways operate is rather limited I had some help with this story. Thanks to my friend Fiamma, who drives trains in Italy, for her invaluable assistance with this story. Also thanks to my friend Craig, a railway enthusiast, who provided much information on how railways in Sydney operate. And thanks to Google which gave me technical explanations of things like block signalling and dynamic braking.

Thirty seven years after the Baltic Fallout, an unplanned and unsanctioned extension goes awry for Pardus Caterva. Terminating Dessies, disease-riddled ex-citizens, is always risky business, so Pardus shrug it off as unusual and nothing more. Until a fright in the medic wing of Fyddin Seminary. Add into the mix the mad rantings of an escaped target, and the Caterva are left rightly suspicious. Pardus come to terms with the cards they have been dealt with, and despite their programming to serve Sentry and fulfil their duty to Crux, they find themselves in agreement: to do the right thing. Juniper Wolff has never been a fan of cliches, and finds herself impossibly less so when it's her own fingers burnt from playing with the fire. Because sometimes, doing the right thing simply isn't enough. Note: contains depictions of violence, "monsters" and muted language. All Rights Reserved. A Grace | Abbey Grace.

My hometown would have to be mended, and so would my sanity. Little did I understand that it would go beyond the extremes. Beyond the horrendous disaster in my head. And now even when I thought I overcame it all, a violent wave of extinction thrashed into my perception.

What if you could predict the future? What if you could predict disasters that have not yet occurred? Would you stop them, even if it meant risking your own life? Meet sixteen year old Emmery Willows, who is doing just that. Instead of worrying about school and homework, she has to worry about bombs and car crashes and how to prevent them from happening. Her life takes a bizarre turn with a chance meeting with a boy called Hudson Matthews, who shares her abilities. As the two set about saving the lives of those around them, an unlikely friendship forms. But as feelings blossom into something more, something dark is on the loose. Someone, or something is trying to stop the work of the two teenagers, threatening their lives and ensuring that the disasters happen. As a tragic event, that Emmery may not be able to stop looms around the corner, can she save those she loves? Maybe some disasters are meant to happen. Like falling in love when you least expect it. *~*~*~*` If anyone was to look at Emmery Willow, they'd think that she's just an average hard working teenager. But you know what they say, 'Dont judge a book by its cover.' Emmery had kept her secret of future sightings to herself. That is until she moved next door to a (good-looking) young man known as Hudson Matthews. He'd saved her life once, but that wasn't where the story ended; infact It all began from there. Hudson had a bad reputation at school, but Emmery thinks otherwise. Soon, Emmery finds out that her chances of getting killed increases everytime she gets closer to Hudson. Now that she knows that there is another person who understands her secret better than anyone else, would she have the ability to stay away from him? Would he stay away her to keep her safe?
