The Game of Monarchies "Sanguis Rosa" by Gabby_K

It all started thousands of years ago... Three tribes found an island. A safe haven from their enemies and worries. Staying on the island was meant to be temporary. Until a better solution could be found. But Mother Nature gifted them land to grow crops, trees from which houses were built and animals to hunt. The people decided to stay... Now, ages later, three kingdoms stand. All powerful, different and hungry for more. Aggeris, Veatus and Collis. But what happens when the values which helped build these great civilizations are ignored? Not seen as important or attention worthy? Will they fall or will someone finally take action? To lead a group of people is easy, to lead a kingdom - is intricate and complex. Only diligent, better, yet persistent can become the top of the royalty, ensuring their place in the history books.

Fire Love by bellemoon99

What does being brave and worthy of honor mean? Going against the crowd is something wrong? A knight lady... A dragon lady... two hearts can start a fire. #1 Lesbians- 2021 #104 Knights- 2021

Bystanders in a story of lots by TzviGoldberg

In the traditional narratives of the reign of the Achaemenid king Ahasuerus and Queen Esther, important not-quite-historical figures including the sagacious Carshena, the compassionate Hegai, and the steadfast retired horse of king Ahasuerus have had their consequential roles and decisions relegated to mere anecdotes in skipped-over lists. The not-quite-history of the middle Achaemenid Empire might have turned for the worst were it not for the swift political minds of serving girls and scribes at the Persian court, or without the rivalries of those royal concubines outshined by the beautiful queen of Judean descent; though the names of these pivotal people were sadly lost to the annals of history. Bystanders in a Story of Lots flips over the traditional book of Esther so that the plot is told by those characters glossed over or all but ignored in the original text. Though much of this narrative remains a speculative endeavor for the necessary educated guesses required to fill in the gaps in the historical records, my hope is that it but begin to address the injustice done to the lots of supposed bystanders overlooked by more founded works.

Esther by reychellemoira

The Scholars and The 7 Years Famine by crownedhyena

Talented, wealthy, and powerful; you'd think there's nothing more for the billionaire Muna Amalda to conquer. Yet each day is a conquest for her. It's a war against life itself, a long-life battle against her lack of desire for existence. "They say desire is the root of all suffering, so why does it feel more painful to have no desire to live?" Wasting her life on alcoholism to distract herself from the agony of existence, she met a guy named Osiris at a bar one day who offered her a pedant that could give her a second chance at life through reincarnation on one condition: she has to save ancient Egypt from the infamous seven years of famine. Will Muna be able to embrace her new life with enthusiasm? But what could she possibly do to fulfill the requirement?
