Prohibition Stories

In the summer of 1928, the Overlook Hotel stands alone in the Colorado mountains-remote, immaculate, and deliberately unreachable. Open only a few months each year, the hotel has already earned a reputation among a certain class of guest: those wealthy enough, powerful enough, or famous enough to disappear for a while. As Independence Day approaches, a carefully curated group arrives for a private week-long celebration. Hollywood royalty fleeing the glare of studio scrutiny. Political figures eager to speak freely without consequence. Financiers, fixers, and discreet intermediaries whose fortunes depend on what is not recorded. They come by invitation, following rumors rather than advertisements-rumors of perfect discretion, unspoken indulgence, and a place where rules quietly dissolve. The Overlook promises what no city can in 1928: privacy. Prohibition does not apply here. Gambling exists behind closed doors. Affairs begin without witnesses. Deals are made without paper. And beneath the glamour of tuxedos, flapper dresses, champagne, and fireworks, something older and less easily named seems to watch from the long corridors and high timbered ceilings. Over the course of several days leading up to the Fourth of July, the guests indulge, negotiate, betray, and unravel-some discovering that the isolation they sought has sharpened their desires, while others find the mountain air brings buried impulses to the surface. The hotel does not judge. It does not intervene. It merely remembers. July 4th at the Overlook is a story about power, secrecy, temptation, and the thin veneer of civility that separates celebration from collapse. It explores how places-like people-can develop reputations, and how the promise of absolute freedom can be more dangerous than any explicit threat.

It's the mid 1920s, and Luke has finally saved up enough money to join his friends in the United States - something they had dreamed of since kids. Luke wants nothing more than to meet up with old pals Calum, Michael, and Ashton, and for the four to be best friends again like they were back in Australia, but it seems that living in prohibition era America has changed his friends more than he could imagine. Some of them seem to have gotten caught up in the lucrative illegal side of the roaring '20s, yet others seem to have been drawn to the opposite side. How will Luke fit in to this new setting; will he be able to fulfill his dreams of opening a tea and cake shop, or will he get sucked into illicit activities by his old friends? Warnings: Contains some language and, yes, illegal activities

Zenjago 1920s Detective/Mafia AU Co-written with the love of my life, Sky <3 (@stormysky-) TRIGGER WARNINGS: - blood/gore - cursing - death/grief PREVIEW: "Detective Julien?" Skylar pressed the telephone receiver to his ear much harder than necessary. From across the office, Harper - Detective Smith - waited with bated breath. Beside her, Zap - Detective Farrow - crossed her fingers and her toes. "Good news, good news, good news," she muttered. Suddenly, Skylar groaned, slamming the phone down. "We've got another one," he relayed through gritting teeth. "Fucking gods." Harper resisted the urge to throw the very important papers stacked before her. "We have a serial offender on our hands, don't we?" Skylar grimaced, affirming the thought. "First Master, maybe I'll get lucky and be the next victim." - 🔍 - "Tally it up!" Ally exclaimed, slamming the door to their shared office open with a wide smile. "That's another one for me, which means-" She gestured at the chalkboard of tally marks with excited jazz hands. Morro sighed as he pushed himself up from his desk. "You're ahead," he finished dejectedly. "Catch up, old man." The boy narrowed his eyes over his shoulder, chalk now in hand. "We're the same age." Ally waved him off as she collapsed into her chair, admiring her work represented by the numerous tally marks accumulating under her name. "We should tell boss-man we're ready for more! I'm too good at this, it's lame now." "This early? Are we ready?" "Of course not," the woman laughed. "But wouldn't it be fun?" Morro couldn't help but grin as well. "For once, you aren't wrong." With that, he struck another tally on the board.

I'm a history nerd and I need something to post when I don't have a work or art, so I figured I'd do something I love: history. I'll basically just say some facts about events in history, and will include a bibliography if you want to learn more. - Disclaimed: this will contain possibly triggering topics. You can probably deduct what might be in here by both a basic knowledge of history and what's in the title of the chapter. Please be cautious or just don't read if these may trigger you. As always, proceed with caution on the internet.
