Recently orphaned Amelia Sterling has only one thing on her mind: protect her brilliant, perhaps more than slightly mad genius inventor of a younger brother. If that necessitates such drastic measures as dressing as a man (itchy fake beard included) and posing as their fake guardian who receives the credit for Jasper's inventions, than so be it. She can handle it. Right up until they are both abducted by a motley crew of sky-pirates, led by the infuriating and annoyingly handsome Captain Maxwell, who are intent on using Jasper's brilliance to solve the small problem of a bomb on their stolen ship. With imperial persuit on the way and the clock ticking down, will Amelia and Jasper find a way out of their predicament? And will Captain Maxwell prove to be a prodigy of his breed and steal something Amelia is determined to guard with all her might, her heart?
Flight of The Bumblebee is an exciting, witty, romantic adventure set in a steampunk fantasy world, with one very stubborn proper lady, one very troublesome younger brother, one ship filled with a strange crew of pirates, and one very dangerous captain.

Death Never Stopped Me Before
"Oh my love," Voldemort sighed. "Aren't you tired of this endless running? You don't look well. All this writhing in the dust like a hunted animal doesn't suit you." Harry struggled against the binds keeping him in place, his breaths coming out in sharps pants as he twisted away from his touch. He's a monster, he reminded himself, forcing himself not to think about how gentle he could be with him. How much he missed his touch. You need to run from him, run far, far away. You are in the middle of a war! "I'm tired of chasing," Voldemort continued, stepping closer to Harry's struggling form. "Of indulging this little game of yours. Let's stop pretending there's anywhere you could run where I would not find you." He paused in front of Harry and knelt down, a hand reaching out to caress his cheek possessively. "Let's stop pretending you want to be anywhere but my arms, hmm?" "Go to hell!" Harry spits, jerking away from his touch. "I'm not yours!" "And that, my love, is where you're wrong," Voldemort said with a crazed smirk. "Nothing, not even death, could keep me from you. You always have and always will belong to me!" |.-.-.-.-.-.-.-| Voldemort had finally won. He defeated the light and gained control over Magical Britain, and in the process, he had lost everything. As he remembers how he met, fell in love with, and ultimately lost Harry Potter, he realizes that in his greed, Voldemort had ruined everything that ever mattered to him. But when new information comes to light, it's a race against time to bring Harry Potter back from the dead and reconcile their relationship or risk losing the love of his life forever... ...Even if it means getting help from what's left of the Golden Trio.Complete

Something changed (Tom Riddle fanfic)
No one is completely good and no one is only bad. Every dark person chose that way. It could have been because of bad upbringing, hunger for power or a failed love. Take Tom Riddle for example.

It was unusual for him to show affection but he was very much capable of it. But only to one person. A girl, which had casted a spell over his heart. Someone who was like him...different but special.
