Prior has spent one hundred and thirty-seven years slowly despising eternity. Haunted by the memories of the only family he ever loved, the last known vampire has long since accepted that everyone he cares for will eventually leave him behind. So he joins a traveling circus, keeps his head down, and tries not to think about the endless years still ahead. Until the impossible begins. The seemingly ageless vampire is growing older by means he cannot explain. Before he can uncover why, someone is murdered. While the police see another unfortunate death, Prior recognizes something impossible. A man did not kill the victim. A vampire killed them. Detective Jack Sutherland dismisses Prior's impossible theories, but as more bodies begin to appear, an unlikely alliance forms between the cynical immortal, the determined detective, and Justine Harrison-the spirited daughter of a prominent politician whose influence opens doors the law cannot. Their investigation uncovers an ancient conspiracy hidden beneath the glittering streets of 1920s Boston. This discovery forces Prior to confront a terrifying truth: The monsters he believed were destroyed never vanished. Now, with an entire city on the brink of falling under their influence, Prior must stop history from repeating itself... ...before he loses the family he's only just begun to find.

Ever wonder what occurred between the death of Myrtle and Tom discovering that she died? Well, this story is the missing piece in the story telling you what happened between Gatsby and Daisy on the drive home. This Chapter is fanmade on my own depiction on what events took place in those timelines. If you do no the book it is The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald.

In Greek mythology, Cassandra of Troy was born with an extraordinary gift of foresight. The future called to her, but the present mistreated her. Her only flaw was that she could not control it. However, she had been subjected to another curse, one that appealed to both men and gods alike. Cassandra was beautiful. Some compared her to Aphrodite, while others simply desired her in envious silence. And then she was condemned. The day Apollo laid eyes on her, the ink had already dried on the paper. He craved her. She wanted to learn discipline. He taught it to her, and when the time came to make the transaction, she stepped back. A symbolic no that had cursed her. No one would listen to her predictions anymore, no man would follow her wise advice, and all men would die. Cassandra Hasen had never had time to ask her mother why she had chosen to name her that. As the years went by, she felt more and more that this name was disastrous for her. Despite the science, the knowledge she strove to acquire and develop, men seemed deaf to her.Or perhaps there had never been any curse. Perhaps the answer to her indignation was obvious, simple but painful. Her status as a woman limited her in the world of the Roaring Twenties. Her gender shaped her ambition without her having the right to say a word. Cassandra Hasen only asked to be heard, because she was convinced of one thing. She was brilliant. She just needed someone to notice. Peaky Blinders: season 2

His introduction into your life matches his behaviour: rough and erratic. You can tell Sans has been keeping an eye on you since the first time he came to hear you sing, but you didn't expect he'd end up coming to you for a favour. It's a favour that might as well be considered a life-changing mission, with how the results could greatly affect the future of monsters and humans on the Surface. He insists it's not that big of a deal, but as each day gets increasingly complicated and bigger responsibilities fall on your shoulders, it feels like there's a lot more than meets the eye. Skip to a couple of months working under his wing, and he confesses his true motivation for having you alongside him since day one. • • • NOTICE: This work is based off Sooner or Later, You're Gonna Be Mine. The major differences from that alternate universe are that Frisk remains unchanged from the original Undertale universe, and the Reader replaces Frisk's role as a singer.

This is to give a general idea of things going on before during the 1920's and today. It may not make sense but alas this is all fiction

With the shadow of the Titanic tragedy hanging over their heads, the survivors strive together to rebuild their lives amidst the hardships of the 1920s. This is the sequel to When We Meet on that Distant Shore.

Lucia and Charley are the products of Old New York's ruling elite. Prestige. Wealth. Tradition. Scandal. No one is immune. Not Charley, reckless, blithe courtier of trouble, heiress to the Montrose fortune, who has been conspicuously absent for over a year without a word of truth or explanation. Nor Lucia, as docile a daughter as any parent could wish for, carrying secrets of her own, slowly awakening to a yearning for things beyond obeisance to the established order, as deeply ingrained as Old New York's fascination for, and fear of, scandal. Sailing into the summer of 1929, on the eve of the Black Tuesday Wall Street Crash and a world on the brink of change, Charley and Lucia must keep their wits sharp about them in the pleasure capitals of the Continent and on the Nile to steer their futures away from peril. There are men and temptations to resist, intrigues and mysteries to untangle, secrets to hide, lies to weave, and jewel thieves to outsmart while, back home in New York and on the Exchange, the world rumbles and thunders ominously by. More hangs in the balance than the frivolities of the Jazz Age, the glitzy parties in London and the lures of Paris, automobile races, leisurely flirtations on the French Riviera, opulent Egyptian nights, and the catching of a brilliant matrimonial prize. This Grand Tour could prove to be the making of two young women, a prelude to freedom and independence, to saving and building an empire... Or perhaps merely an invitation to rebellion, scandal and unmitigated disaster. Running away or running towards? Tick-tock.
