allegorical blood diesel dieselpunk emotional rebellion war

In 1920s and 30s Kingsland, a brutal civil war violently steals the lives and livelihoods of countless innocents.  Told from the perspectives of a semi-mechanical super soldier, his daughter, her lover, and a rebel fighter, "Blood and Diesel" explores the ideas of good and evil, turning the classic dichotomy on its head.

Special thanks goes to Paul Shapera, writer of "The New Albion Radio Hour," the dieselpunk rock opera which inspired this series.  "The New Albion Radio Hour" is the second installment of a trilogy by Mr. Shapera and very much worth a listen:

The Mad Queen by Clog-bot

A woman cannot rule the Kingdom of Vivelle. If a king should only have daughters, then the princesses are to participate in a Queens Trial. A series of tests to see who is most worthy of becoming the Queen Victorious. The Winning daughter will marry a suitor of the king's choosing. Once married, her husband will become king. The losing queens will be sacrificed back to the people as punishment for their ancestor's crimes. Or more specifically, the crimes of the Mad Queen. ... Princess Illyana is the eldest of the king's five daughters. In a few days time, the Queens Trial will begin and there are only two possible outcomes. The first is she will fail and get sacrificed. The second is she will win and be forcibly wed to a cruel man and live the rest of her life knowing she is alive because her sisters are dead. Illyana wants more. She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side. She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins. With the whole kingdom watching eagerly to see which daughter wins, it is going to be almost impossible for Illyana to change the minds of a nation so that she can sit on the throne. Warning! Rated Mature as there will be violence, gore and themes of a sexual nature. Lots of parts, but not long chapters. :)

Babydoll (Steel Rebels MC #1) [Completed] by Noige22

Isabella had never really fit into the mold that her family was forcing her in. Luckily, she finds a place that accepts her as she is. However, she didn't expect it to be among a bunch of rowdy bikers. *** Isabella knew how her life would go - even if she didn't like it. Since the day she was born she had been shaped and squished into the role of the perfect high-society trophy girl. But the shoe never really fit. She was too curious, too clumsy, too nice. When she intercepts a flying coffee cup for a complete stranger, little did she know she would soon be staying with the city's infamous motorcycle club. And it seems the rowdy men have little intention of letting her go any time soon. Especially not their large, protective enforcer. And that is alright with Isabella. Home is where the heart is and she's lost hers in the Steel Rebels' club house. **** This is the first part of Isabella's and Knux's story and will be completed with "Hammer & Anvil (Steel Rebels MC #2)". ***** Fictive location. Mature scenes. Strong language. Past abuse (Trigger warnings in chapters)/PTSD. Violence. D/s (mainly bedroom, gentledom/sweetsub, light ddlg). Relates to "Neighbor cottage" but can be read independently. Word count: about 200 000 Original cover picture: https://unsplash.com/photos/DdPvyjLOeyA - Edit by noige22 Completed May 2023

Werewolf Bride by Teah09

On her 18th birthday, Charlotte becomes a werewolf and her family betrays her, leaving her in the hands of the royal family. While she feels flattered that the Prince may have taken an interest in her...he is partially to blame for her new state of inhumanity. To keep the peace she must follow the plan set out for her and marry the Prince, play her part and ask no questions. She could learn to love him and conform...or not, but most importantly, even if she grows to love him, can she trust him? And even if she trusts him, is his family really the ones in control? *This story is somewhat my own origin story of how the traditional werewolf stories came to be. In the beginning, there was one Alpha and one alone...and in the beginning, he created them all in his image.* *Takes place in Medieval Times*

Quick Light by Reesethetanker76

The story of Jason is an odd one, his story is one that involves multi-dimensional travel, combat, and the reoccurring bad situation. That is only the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately, this story cannot be told from just one view... but through the views of his friends (war mongers, vigilantes, heroes, metal heads, and soldiers) and new found allies. With a wonder device that Jason steals, while trying to adjust after a bad court martial, he finds the Mysterious land known only as the Neutral Dimension. Once there... Instead of finding fame and fortune as he sought, he instead finds a whole new set of problems. With a place filled with histories past and the present interconnected, he finds that war, violence, espionage, and robbery cannot fall off his repertoire even in a place of peace. He finds himself with only a few options... but that is where I need to stop talking and you need to start finding out. Word to the wise: this is not a story for the faint of heart or ill of intellect. Instead a story that will expand and contract the way one thinks... this book contains conspiracy, murder, extreme violence, extreme vulgarity, themes of war, twists, gore, racing, use of drug and alcahol, sexual themes, sex, GUNS, unsuitable terminology, dimensional theory and use of dimensional travel, and historical concepts that may not be suitable for children and some adults... BUT, if this does not taint or deture you from a good read... then by all means... Enjoy! "In the end, our choices make us" -Andrew Ryan

She has no idea where she's headed or what will happen to her once she arrives, and she's terrified of finding out. Will she even survive? Did her family survive when they tried to defend her? Will she ever see them again if they're all lucky enough to stay alive? One man will determine her fate and if he's anything like the others, Cecily is positive that will mean nothing good for her.

Stargazer - Segregation by JanaKaschubowski

When the world lies in shambles as a war draws closer and closer, when humanity must grasp for every grain of wheat to survive just another day, when a self-proclaimed ruler and the spirit of freedom fighters collide. What lies behind blood-tainted hands that lust for revenge? Hope for a bright future or fatalistic darkness that tries to wreathe people's hearts in eternal agony? A ruler sets laws into stone, promising the perfect life in exchange for everlasting loyalty. Those who dare to rise against the rules set by what is Almighty will face severe consequences. Not only do people live in constant fear, but they are also segregated and left to their own demise. The separated inhabitants only exist for the purpose of what is referred to as the "greater good." However, there lies an incredible power of determination within the hearts of those living in one certain nation. This nation is referred to as "Stargazer." With their rebellious hearts, they try to get back what they have lost. Logan, one of the strong-willed members of "Stargazer," wants to sacrifice his own goals for the benefit of the others and willingly accepts every order of his captain, even when those turn against his own morals. Overthrowing the cause of it all-the man who rules them all. As a response to their revolutionary spirit, the man declares war upon them by utilizing cruel mechanized war machines. To his disbelief, Stargazer created their own mechs-the Horizon. The nations' destiny, the one that leads them to victory, back to the world they originally belong to. And thus, the fight begins with the resilient and the brave on terms of destruction and eternal legacy.

MC's Viking Warriors- Bear #1 by ellusiveauthor

Astrid is running from a monster, the man who kidnapped her and forced her to breed his heirs. But she's escaped his clutches. Finding herself fleeing across countries with heavy baggage she finds her self dropped on the compound of the Viking Warriors by a glorious stroke of fate. Vidar has always dreamed of finding his Goddess, his other half. But what will he do when he finds out his destined other half has more than he ever bargained for. Will the great Vidar finally find love, or will Astrid fail in finding him? Read to find out... I can't move swiftly enough as I drop down to my knees to pick her up. Gazing at her face, I loop one arm under her knees, the other over her back. She's as cold as death, and barely conscious. Her pale grey eyes gaze at my with a strange combination of trust and terror. I gently pull her closer to me. "Shhh love, I got you now." "L-Liam..." Her voice shudders and her lips tremble, the cold has seeped through into her bones, and she's so tiny anyway she must be permanently cold. Walking towards the car for the baby I pull her closer to my chest. She's now flitting in and out of consciousness, but, as I hold her closer- hoping my body can give her some warmth- I feel the bump, small and distinct. Panic grips me. She's pregnant? But that baby can't be more than 9 months? In her white T-shirt I can see the bruises and cigarette burns littering her pale skin. Whatever has happened to her is beyond awful. But I'm here now. I've got her.
