    Forged in Fire is set in an early 20th-century fictional nation. It has the grit, machines, and social upheaval of that era. Think smoky train stations, printing presses, political rallies in gaslit halls, duels still lingering as a code of honor, but also the tension of modernity crashing into tradition. Adrian Vale is brilliant, stubborn, and ambitious. Born poor in an isolated province, he claws his way into the city determined to "work his way into power." Adrian Vale arrives in the capital of New Albion with nothing but a sharp mind and a hunger to rise. He befriends Evelyn and Emily and soon catches the attention of Lord Gray. Through his political speeches, and quick wit, Adrian earns influence in the city's council, though he also gains enemies - most notably Sebastian Crowne, who mocks Adrian's lack of pedigree. Forged in Fire follows Adrian Vale, a brilliant and ambitious young man from a poor coastal province, as he rises through the ranks of New Albion's political and social elite. Armed with wit, pamphlets, and unyielding determination, he challenges the entrenched power of old families, wins influence in the council, and captures the attention of the Hartwell sisters - intellectually formidable Evelyn and fiery, unpredictable Emily. Along the way, Adrian navigates rivalries, mainly with Sebastian Crowne, the calculating heir of one of the city's oldest families, whose own ambitions and desire for control collide with Adrian's vision for a new, fairer city. Against a backdrop of industrial smoke, social unrest, and political intrigue, the story is a fast-paced battle of ideas, alliances, and personal stakes, where ambition, love, and power collide with dangerous intensity.

    The mc, a girl as normal as the next one. She suddenly has dreams, are they just dreams or something else..? This new place is beautiful and bright where it seems that just the colours alone could melt your worries away. Can she learn how to act normal in this new place and figure out what's going on? I don't own 'Violet Evergarden', all characters that I haven't made up, places that are in the anime and plot points belong the owner. I hope this is good and you enjoy this fanfic! <333 I just wanted to say the reason I changed the suffixes when it changed from Japan to the dream place was because I wanted the country (the one in the dream) to be similar to Japan and the language rules to be sort of similar, hence the Japanese names but adding English suffixes + more European style clothing, I felt it gave sense of being more European-like kinda like Telesis, where Leidenshaftlich is. Also, another thing is although it might say 'mum' in internal speech, it will come out as '(o)kaa-san', I hope that's ok! Date 1st chapter published: Wednesday, the 27th of April. Date last chapter published: I will release a chapter or two a week until I've published all chapters I've written but for all others the wait may be a little bit longer, I hope that's ok!

    'Time lost is never gained.' He used to recite that to me. My brother always was a weakling. He never had any backbone, and I always thought him incapable of looking after himself. I remember he would pore over grandfather's old tomes of horrible poetry, like that cat one he was so fond of, and laugh for hours over that nonsense. I had the brains in the family, I must admit. Somehow though, he didn't turn out so bad in the end; the last thing he said to me was, "Look after her, brother, you must... promise me that." Sorry to say, I didn't. She didn't mean anything to me anyway. However, I feel that I am a poor judge. He always admired me, after all, and I cared not an ounce for him. So I leave it to you, to dissect his odious, empty character and decide if he was worthy of a brother's love after all. Unfortunately, if he was, I can no longer give it to him. But, of course, I care not a jot. After all, this is his story. Not mine.
