    𝘼 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 made up of other tales, told from the perspectives of soldiers encountering The Blight from different parts of the world. This story will dive into themes of the meaning of life, the heavy cost of sacrifice, and the cycle of war and violence. Each episode will tell the story of each map chronologically from the eyes of an individual soldier from each nation. This is a good story if you want to read and enjoy the lore of Guts & Blackpowder. There will also be original characters with moral development, but regardless of that, everything else included in the story will be accurate to the lore. Stay tuned and notified. This is still a work-in-progress and it might take a while to write about each map because I have to plan the story, the character developments, and write the rough drafts. ⚠️𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧: There will be some detailed descriptions of blood, gore, and violence. (This is based on the Roblox game, Guts & Blackpowder. It's a zombie game that takes place during the Napoleonic Wars where soldiers are fighting against the hordes of the undead in campaigns and missions). 𝗙𝗬𝗜: - The cover was painted by Henri Boisselier. - All of the images at the top for each chapter are from Guts & Blackpowder and are NOT drawn by me.

    Picture this; On the verge of the Election of 1800, Senator Aaron Burr and Vice President Thomas Jefferson are both trying to claw their way to a shot at being the third president of the United States. New York delegate, lawyer, general, and former treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton stands in the way of the both of them. Politics is the weapon of choice for the man who built Manhattan. The fierce Federalist- possibly the most influential man in the state of New York- desperately needs to be won over by both of these men in order to succeed. Earlier, Aaron Burr thought he would be willing to utilize his daughter as a political means to an end but just as the election is inching nearer and Theodosia Burr encounters the handsome, charming, and shockingly sweet Philip Hamilton- he ultimately decides against his former plan. Alexander Hamilton casts his votes for the unthinkable candidate, and Jefferson takes office. Aaron Burr arranges a marriage for his daughter and takes up his new job with a bitter anticipation. Philip Hamilton finds himself falling for a girl he can never have, struggling to move up in a narrow minded world that was essentially designed to benefit him. Theodosia Burr is caught in the midst of politics and societal life, finding herself with no choice but to move with the busy life that has been created for her. They write letters.

    I struggled against the crowd, fighting to get to the aisle. With my heart in my throat, the screams of hundreds of people in my ears and Jeremy out of sight, I couldn't help but panic. Another chorus of raised voices arose and fingers pointed to the ceiling. I followed their direction. That was the moment my world stopped. The chandelier was coming down. ~•~•~•~■~•~•~•~ Nikki de La Chance holds more secrets than the Opera House itself. Beneath her porcelain mask lies a lifetime of pretences and deceit, though none as secretive as that of her friendship with another masked murderer: The Phantom of the Opera. Nikki is sure she has everything she could ever want: a job, a lifelong friendship with the Phantom and control over practically every element in her life. That is, until Jeremy Desrosiers stumbles into her heart and shows her just how little power she has ever had over her fate. With the Phantom falling into a bottomless pit of insanity over young soprano, Christine Daae, and the enticingly cheery, youthful nature of her new friend Jeremy offering something more than lies and empty truths, Nikki is torn between a life of darkness and music and the unfamiliar world of light and comfort. But can she learn to let go of what little control she has left before she is dragged beyond rescue into the Phantom's shadowy world? Warning! Pheels throughout! This book might make you cry!

I have a plan..." ----- Aelia Fernsby is an unfortunate 16 year old girl in 19th century England who is being shipped off to marry a man who has had many past wives... and every single one of them has either died from sickness or mysteriously disappeared.

    Marquess Ambrose Aboraqua is the wealthiest son of a Duke in all of England. At only 20 years old, he is already a key voice in the House of Lords, an eloquent speaker, new ruler over a small territory off the European Coast, and is the object of attraction for many girls in the country. Despite all of this status, Aboraqua is rather elusive, and very hard to catch outside of the House of Lords and his own estate, leaving his love life completely a mystery to the common eye. When he starts appearing to one peasant girl in particular, what will become of a love when faced with a difference of riches, and perhaps a difference of loyalties? And what can beauty do to one who is unfamiliar with it?

    The title is pretty self-explanatory, although, to clarify, it will be French poetry which I (attempt to) translate. Hope you like my interpretations of other poets' words. :) Translated Poems: - Le Gout du néant (Baudelaire) - Tristesse en mer (Gautier) - Demain, des l'aube (Hugo) - Spleen (IV): Quand le ciel bas et lourd...
