Discworld Stories

Politics is a cutthroat game, but when you're dead, it doesn't matter what they cut. And it is a dirty game, filled with the kind of people that think nothing of ruining an opponent's life, but few go so far as throwing their counterparts through windows. When Balmy Bymeadow is improbably murdered, his son, Myld, is forced to carry on his father's legacy, but, in order to do so, he must take the unprecedented course of keeping his dead father around. Aided by Finella, a uniquely talented taxidermist, her sister, Flinda, a self-appointed Fairly Gods-Mother, and Phibber Monkshot, a wily and incredibly competent civil servant, in his corner, Myld must navigate the torrid waters of politics, deal with his surprisingly mobile dead father, avoid several near-death experiences and learn what it requires to get elected in a city where politics is quite literally a life or death struggle. With a pinch of 'Yes, Minister', a dash of 'The Walking Dead', and a heaped spoonful of 'Discworld'.

It's not just any ideas that get manufactured in Corkhill's castle. It's the Eureka! ideas - blueprints for something that nobody has ever thought of before. The type of ideas that change worlds. Buttertoast, a giant moth, had just stolen one. Somewhere else in the world of Backstage, Uppity the clown had just failed miserably at his largest ever (but still small) magic gig. Things were going to get a lot worse. You see, he just accidently caused the end of the world, and is running out of time to save it. All he needs is the help of someone at the Magic Ponies Mental Institute, and a silver goldfish.

What if Dreaming was a superpower that all sentient people have? What if every time someone dreams, they travel to a new universe? What if the things you dream about become real? What if a Dream can have a power great enough to conquer the Universe? Inspired by Fantasy settings such as Discworld and The Elder Scrolls and Sci-Fi universes like Doctor Who, Warhammer 40,000 and the Lovecraft Mythos.

Myths, monsters and mankind will collide.

One Hogswatch day, Sam Vimes is flung from the Discworld to the nation of Amestris, in hot pursuit of a criminal alchemist. There, he meets with a bright, young pair; a giant suit of armor he's convinced is a new type of golem, and a short, hot tempered boy the armor claims to be his brother. Follow as he is thrust into a grand conspiracy involving what he believes to be magic and a lot of murder.

This takes place as a Storyline similar to DiscWorld- but on Earth in another dimension. Cassie is now a Reaper. She has to take the place of what was once her best friend. She thinks if she can defeat Vita, all will be back to what it was. It was until she came face to face to the actual Death (with a large D. Capitalization is needed.) that everything is not as peaceful as the world should be. Meanwhile, Death has been experiencing visions from his past. Only he thinks they're all from the past. When Death puts the puzzle together, he realizes that going back home is not safe.

In a galaxy where naming your planet 'Earth' is commonplace, Robert Grognon emerges as an unlikely Galactic Grand Regent, originally just a simple Earth accountant catapulted well beyond his narrow comfort zone despite himself. Agatam Sissi Dobruel, the 98th Grand Scribe, is tasked with documenting Grognon's life, beliefs, and the customs he brings from his version of Earth. Amidst galactic politics, unique traditions, and a colorful cast of characters, this biography explores the apprehension of fate, the quest for identity, and the origin of kebabs, in an adventure that defies time and space.

An unstoppable army of tribal lizard warriors, seething with vengeance and armed to the fangs with swords and axes, is poised to sweep across the lands of Pyrus, a place where both magic and psychic abilities have evolved as natural phenomena. The Brothers of the Paranormal, a sect of benevolent psionic monks, discover that the lizard's aim to have their revenge on the old city of Port Packham and resolve to try and use their abilities to prevent the onslaught. When Norris Bartlett, a struggling metal tubings salesman, is accidentally transported through an unreality hole from his own world into this alternative existence, he becomes the last hope for the Port's inhabitants - and he only went in the kitchen to put the kettle on! He finds that he has to travel across the bizarre, pear-shaped world of Pyrus to seek out a mystical artefact that might save them all - the legendary Lost Pearl of Wisdom. But the Pearl has been hidden by ancient priests and is guarded by an unspeakable horror - which is a pity since it remains Norris's only hope of ever returning to his own existence. He's accompanied on his quest by a novice from the Sisters of the Unexplained and an arrogant, irascible magician whose spellcasting ability is on par with a stuffed otter. Their guide is a desperately inexperienced treasure hunter ("Tombs Raided While U Wait") who couldn't find a brick in a bucket. Armed with ancient maps, magical scrolls and Cadmus's copy of "Amateur Spellcaster", the group set out to return with the Pearl before the invasion begins. In a spectacular and nail-biting climax, Norris discovers he's just a pawn in a plan so audacious that it puts every world in existence on the threshold of destruction – including his own. Norris discovers that he's even worse at preventing universal cataclysms than he ever was at selling Galvanised Tubing. So when things start to go pear shaped, Norris needs all the help he can get.

My favorite assassin, and my take on his life. Based on the movies/books by Terry Pratchett. Please comment. I don't own Teatime or any of Pratchett's stuff, obviously.

This is a form of a DiscWorld fanfic, but this takes place on Earth- in another dimension. Cassie found herself in another universe. Everyone believed it would be much better than the plain Earth. All thought wrong. Someone was chasing down Cassie. She came face to face with Death. Except... Death saved her. Not only that, but the one chasing after Cassie was not aiming for her. It was after her hero.

Unseen University from dis world but set in the Harry Potter universe.
