This is a fictional story that I got inspired to write after I watched a video on alternate history pertaining to the Cold War.

This is the second of many parts. I am still writing and fact-checking many parts of this story so expect more soon. 

The character's characteristics are based on traits of people I know and a few are based on myself. The events that the characters go through could be a little bit traumatic and young readers should be wary that the events could be violent. I will be using period-correct language for the 1950's, Cold War era. So just a fair warning on that. I promise it won't be racist or vulgar, but it will be language and phrases that were used a lot back then.

Faith, Influence, and Government (Season 2 of Previous Work) by ChristianityInn
10 parts Complete Mature
This narrative is a sequel to the previous tale, now unfolding within an Islamic cultural context for my Muslim audience. It will weave elements of Judaism into the storyline and the personas that will feature in each chapter. The characters selected to headline each segment will bear names of Islamic and Jewish heritage, such as Mehmed, Selim, Fatima, Ahmed, Bayezid, Baybars, Yeshua, Joshua, Job, Ezekiel, Hezekiah, Emmanuel, Sarah, Samuel, Abraham, and Isaac. Each chapter will take place in the medieval era, featuring cities and countries from the "Fairy Tail" manga series, alongside real historical locations around the world. One chapter may unfold in Medieval Europe, while another could explore the decentralized medieval Middle East and the Levantine Coast. Note that each chapter will begin with a synopsis of the respective time period, so be sure to watch for it. However, it's important not to anticipate a uniform time setting for each chapter. Should inspiration strike, a chapter may unfold in a historical era distinct from its predecessor. For instance, one chapter might take place during the Romantic period of world history, which is the early 19th century, while another might be set in antiquity, long before the advent of railways, the telegraph, and contemporary infrastructure systems we typically take for granted. Inspiration is the key, and now that we've got the formalities out of the way, it's time to plunge into the creative abyss, right? Are you ready?
TROIKA - Countryhumans USSR x America by Arrin99423
12 parts Ongoing Mature
The world is electrified. Everything runs on electricity, from lighting to transport, life support to social media. Oblivion. Then, grid is down. And the world turns dark. And doesn't turn back on. America, the most forward thinking and innovative Western idealist, has answers. Her feminist values push her neck to neck with her male peers. She is one of the first to figure out that the grid will eventually fail, because of the vein of fossil fuel instability, trying to raise the alarm. When the grid does fail, she doesn't even get the satisfaction to say 'I told you so' before she is forced to collaborate in the TROIKA - a trio of biologist, engineer, and geophysicist that must find an immediate and then long-term solution to power the earth. Oh, and she has no choice. USSR, a cynic planner and injured war veteran, has questions. Torn between his eastern roots and western intelligence, he struggles to fit in, curb his aggression, and deal with personal loss. Instead of notifying the world of the impending grid failure, he builds a vast arsenal nuclear plants to power his land against the rules, and when the grid falls, his lights and machines keep running. When finally his arrest occurs, he finds himself in a unique situation, offered a position in the TROIKA - but if he declines, then a life of darkness behind bars awaits him. The goal of the TROIKA is simple: Be quick, be correct, be ready. It doesn't take long for USSR and America to loathe each other on principle, each with their own goals and ideals, clashing on everything from fashion to economics. Can they push away their pride and save the world, maybe even themselves? Or will their bitterness engulf everyone in thick, oily darkness forever? A single choice will ultimately decide their fate. TROIKA: The Future is Nuclear. The Future is Unclear. NOT for sensitive readers, please do not read if you cannot handle violence, loss, terminate disease or mature content - 16+ Thanks!

I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol. _________________________________ Book 1 of the Marks series! _________________________________ What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything. But you don't. Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers. Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on? _____________________________ "I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..." His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries. ________ This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.
