Lieutenant Cora Harper was a soldier of the future-a biotic-wielding commando bound by discipline and the mission of the Andromeda Initiative. But when a Remnant vault glitch tears a hole in reality, she isn't dropped onto a golden world. She falls into a realm of mud, blood, and ancient fire: Westeros. In the year 105 AC, the House of the Dragon is at the height of its power, and Prince Daemon Targaryen is its most dangerous weapon. When the Rogue Prince witnesses a woman in white-and-blue armor decimate a Triarchy fleet with "blue sorcery" and a thunder-stick that shatters bone, he doesn't see a monster. He sees a match. Trapped in a medieval world of lethal court intrigue and patriarchal chains, Cora must navigate a den of vipers who brand her a witch and a Faith that wants her burned. Her only ally is the man who embodies everything she was taught to fear: a chaotic, ambitious prince who breathes fire and answers to no one. Between the heat of the Stepstones and the shadows of Dragonstone, a volatile attraction ignites. It is a collision of two worlds-one of cold steel and dragons, the other of kinetic barriers and starships. As the succession tensions of King Viserys's court threaten to boil over, Cora must decide if she will use her alien powers to save the Rogue Prince from his own darkness, or if his Valyrian fire will finally consume the soldier from the stars.

It contains graphic descriptions of medieval and futuristic violence, including the use of high-tech weaponry and biotics against organic targets. Readers should be prepared for sexual content, intense power dynamics, and the morally grey themes characteristic of the Targaryen dynasty.

Ishika Raichand is the definition of "Ice Queen." As the formidable head of a corporate empire, she lives in a skyscraper, values efficiency over emotion, and doesn't have time for distractions. She is cold, calculating, and heartless. Veer is everything she is not. An orphan from the sleepy village of Ratanpur, he is a charming, innocent tour guide who sees magic in the mountains and treats every stranger like family. When Ishika's family visits Ratanpur, Veer is hired to show them around. But a tragic allergic reaction leaves Veer fighting for his life. To avoid a village uprising, the Raichands are given an ultimatum: someone must marry the boy and take responsibility for him, or face the consequences. Ishika is forced into the marriage, exchanging vows with a boy who is unconscious in a hospital bed. Veer wakes up in a strange, glass-walled penthouse in the city, with no memory of the wedding. Terrified, confused, and missing his village, he sees Ishika not as a wife, but as a beautiful, terrifying captor.

She knows how to disappear. He was raised to be seen. Ji-han is Korea's most untouchable star, heir to two dynasties, and a man trained to survive scrutiny. Franky is an ESL teacher with no interest in fame, fortune, or being managed. When she's hired as his live-in tutor for a career-defining role, the rules are simple: language only. No more, no less. But as the cameras close in and families tighten their grip, privacy becomes impossible-and feelings turn into a liability. This is not a fairytale. It's a story about power, exile, and choosing each other when the world makes it unsafe. Slow burn. Emotional realism. No real villains. Just consequences. Author's Note: Got tired of the tropes but still can't get enough of them, so here's my take.

Sisters Chloe and Priya are obsessed with Bridgerton. They've watched every season countless times, debated the merits of every suitor, and dreamed of waltzing through Queen Charlotte's ball. One fateful, rainy Saturday, during a particularly intense re-watch marathon, a freak electrical surge sends them hurtling not just into a power outage, but into the very world they adore. They wake up in lavish gowns, in an opulent Mayfair townhouse, just days before the start of the 1813 social season. Their modern sensibilities immediately clash with Regency etiquette, and their knowledge of future events could either be their greatest asset or their ultimate downfall. As they navigate curtseys, calling cards, and the relentless scrutiny of Lady Whistledown, Chloe, with her sharp wit and cynical charm, finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a certain charming rake, while the more romantic Priya tries to subtly nudge her favorite Bridgerton couples together without disrupting the delicate fabric of history. Can these two unlikely debutantes survive the season, avoid scandal, and perhaps even find their own happily ever after, all while desperately searching for a way back home? Or will they become permanent residents of the Ton, forever altering the course of Bridgerton history?

After a fatal fashion-studio accident, a snarky, suit-loving modern stylist is reincarnated as Lady Honoria, a repressed Victorian wallflower. Refusing to suffocate in a corset, she uses her expert tailoring skills to launch a "tomboy-chic" revolution, trading frilly lace for elegant, Ralph Lauren-inspired trousers and pockets. Her extroverted chaos and sharp sarcasm turn the stiffest ballrooms of 1888 London into a battleground for women's autonomy and modern style. The Duke of Ashton, a rigid guardian of high-society tradition, is initially horrified by her defiance until he falls hopelessly for the "crazy" woman who mocks his cravat. While she remains emotionally distant and "poor at love," treating his stoic courting like a comedy routine, he becomes her most devoted ally. As her sartorial rebellion takes hold, she must navigate a world of scandal and a Duke who is finally ready to trade his traditions for her heart.

Hearts Of The Highland You know, it's funny. I never thought moving across the ocean would change my life so drastically. Mississippi had been safe, and predictable, but after my divorce I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. So, I packed my bags, left everything familiar behind and moved to Scotland, hoping to find a piece of myself I hadn't known was lost. The first day I arrived, I met Tiarnán Crowe. Tall, rugged, with eyes that seemed to hold secrets of the Highlands themselves, he owned a sprawling farm nestled in the rolling hills. There was adventure in him, a wildness that made my heart race even as I reminded myself to be cautious. And then there was Seán O'Rourke. Outgoing, charming, with a grin that could make anyone's bad day disappear, he seemed to appear wherever I went, leaving a trail of laughter and confusion in his wake. Caught between Tiarnán's quiet, magnetic pull and Seán's irresistible energy, I didn't know which path my heart wanted to take. Scotland had given me so much more than I expected. From breathtaking views, to fresh starts, and a tangled web of romance. But sometimes, life has a sense of humor, and just when I thought I had to choose, it threw a curveball I never saw coming. one that would make me question everything I thought I wanted.

Among them, "Sassy_Selena_247" is his favorite: a perfect algorithmic mixture of wit and beauty. ​It was supposed to be another routine session. That is, until his custom rig began to scream.

Now, he has to figure out how to explain why his internet history is breathing on his carpet. Written by BlackieChan

This is a currently experimental narrative piece where the Brigadiers of the Rainbow Brigade are presented in their descriptive 'Card' formats. Imposing and stocky, simple and direct. Bruté does not care about intellect, school or eloquence. His fists are eloquent enough as they challenge the titles others give to themselves. As an apex predator from a different form of consciousness, he ventures into the humanoid form with eyes unbiased by the human coil, making him imposing and surprisingly caring to those he learns to call family. Start at any card and consider this non-linear storytelling. Enjoy! ✨

This character I got more and more interested, as with so many. I came up with the idea of a elf raised by Gnomes and how he would have a really quirky personality. As I built upon it he became more alive and like Aurora, just wants to go out into the world to do good as he also has her same deity too. Update: Because of his personality it's suggested that the being distracting was more due to hitting on all the boys and girls in his class and school and not taking the intense study seriously or respecting others when he's finished with his own work. This and the Golarian Gnomes in general could be seen as having ADHD or something similar. Atleast that's how I'm going to evolve him for the remake of this later. Especially as I've been diagnosed with these things I feel more connected to this character. Once again I'm adding these links. I think I legitimately got bored of adding them and decided not to bother: Pathfinder Society: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Pathfinder_Society Elves: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Elf Gnomes: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Gnome Omesta (hometown): https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Omesta Kyonin: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Kyonin Magus: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Magus Liberty's Edge: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Liberty%27s_Edge_(faction)
