Written for the Mystery Party hosted by @earnestycommunity

Mystery writer Sebastian Chase had always felt that there was something wrong with him.  It wasn't because he'd lost most of his memories in an accident. It wasn't because he wasn't even sure if Sebastian Chase was really his name, either. It was more because of that nagging feeling at the pit of his stomach that told him he didn't belong. Not in this place and time. 
When a mysterious man leaves an old pocket watch in his possession, Sebastian gets sucked into the intrigues of a bygone era and is forced to face the demons of his past. A past that takes him back to 1920's Beachcastle where he must track down the saboteur who took everything away from him and sent him almost a hundred years into the future.

The Painting by colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

A Very Messy Business In Belgravia by JudeBelinda

*** OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2021 - HONORABLE MENTION *** The year is 1907, and Amalthea Huntley, Countess of Claremont, is bored. Recently widowed at a young age, she finds very little to entertain her in Edwardian London, until an unusual turn of events at a society party plants the seed of an idea. Lady detective? Why not? It would only be a hobby after all. Lending her considerable powers of observation to some of her closer acquaintances to help resolve their more sensitive issues. After all, what could be so difficult? An instance of minor household theft here, a brief indiscretion there. And it would serve to pass the time. Yes, she resolved. With some careful thought, she was sure she could pull it off, and it would certainly liven things up. Little did Amalthea know that she had bitten off far more than she could chew, when she suddenly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous murder investigation, her only ally being an attractive but rather disagreeable private investigator with a secretive past and a strong dislike for opinionated women. Still, if she wasn't careful, she could find that the biggest threat to her latest diversion was not the case at all, but rather an unexpected something, or someone, a little closer to home. This story is dedicated to Dickie, who acted as my consultant in all things historical. Highest Rankings: #1 historicalmystery (March 2021) #1 crimeromance (March 2021)

Suspect Number Five | ONC 2023 by SpruceWolf

Tristan Young is, by all logical conclusions, a failure. His dream career of private investigation has left him with nothing but debt and an empty office. So when a mysterious phone call makes him a grand promise of fame and success, the decision to accept is simple. There is only one price for his ambition: one night in the local manor, and one dinner with five strangers. Easy enough. Until, sometime in the dark, the price turns bloody. With one of the party's attendees now dead and no other suspects but the remaining five, they are all thrust deep into a murder case riddled with secrets. For Tristan, it should be his fantasy come true; he finally has a puzzle to solve and a chance to put his skills to use. But the games in his head never placed himself as a puzzle piece. The game becomes a race. He has to clear his name and win what he was promised before it's too late. -♧- Written for the Open Novella Contest 2023, using prompt 49. -- ONC Shortlister -- [cover art by the amazing @-aceospades-]

And Time, a Maniac Scattering Dust // Sebastian Sallow x Male MC [Book Four] by The-Lady-of-Shalott

[COMPLETE] {Book 4} [Sebastian Sallow x Male MC] Fifteen years ago, Sebastian Sallow's life changed forever when he became, as some would say, a 'redeemed man.' But his story is not over just yet. Now, in the fourth and final long fic in the 'Like Moths to a Flame' series, Sebastian finds himself caught between dreams and reality, haunted by the past in more ways than one. If that weren't enough, toss in a dash of ancient magic here and a bit of time travel there, and you've got a whole mess of problems. Some endings are meant to be rewritten. Others were always meant to be. But which is which? *** Sebastian wondered if he'd ever make it here. If time would be kind enough to allow him to come, to permit him to save Damien one final time. Some days he'd even wondered if time had closed its doors on him. But here, on this sunny, impossible summer day in 1891, he saw clearly: Time hadn't abandoned him. Time had only been... waiting.

Vicious Memories by DavidBenami

THE MAZE RUNNER for ADULTS --- Things Oliver doesn't know: How he washed up on this island. What the blank keycard in his pocket opens. Who he murdered. When Oliver wakes up he's drowning in the surf, with no memory of who or where he is. Before he can catch his breath, he is found and captured by a group trapped in a situation eerily similar to his own, stripped of all memories prior to the shipwreck that stranded them on this island two years ago. Accused of murdering the island's most beloved inhabitant, Oliver must clear his name by finding the true killer or face exile into the hostile jungle. He wants to believe he's a good person wrongfully accused. But his obsession with his lost past uncovers a single memory - a memory of him murdering a woman with long black hair. As the villagers fight off increasingly frequent attacks from a killer who seems to know Oliver, the horrific pasts of those trapped on the island begin to resurface. And when blame starts flying in every direction, the killer seizes the opportunity to deliver a final blow - an ultimatum: leave the island by tomorrow or die there. Time is up. Oliver must uncover the identity of the killer, and the truth of their pasts, or lose their only chance to escape the island forever. --- Complete - 149,000 Words.

What Game Will You Play by Bri-Bunny225

The New World has been the last peaceful and resourceful country for nearly two hundred years. Or at least that's what they say. Samantha Ivory has been living a boring average life in an old town with lots of history. That is, until the news of a carnival coming to town ignites new excitement. This carnival promises a night of fun for everyone. There are games, promising rewards, and food that no one has ever seen or tasted before. But what if this carnival isn't what it seems to be? And who are these people that have come into her town? Can Sam figure it out before it's too late, or will she get stuck playing a game she never wanted to play? (Currently completed as of October 2023, and finished editing as of March 2024) *****Excerpt***** Excerpt: Instead of seeing myself standing in front of me, there is somebody else and it's not my brother or anyone I know. A boy no older than me is just standing there, he is wearing a gray shirt with a hole in the shoulder and it has a handful of stains and dirt spots on it. I immediately know he is not from Treegrass. Not only have I never seen him before in my life but everyone in our town always wears nice clean and washed clothes, therefore nobody should be looking like him. The boy has a small cut on his cheek and is thin, a lot thinner than he should be. I look away from him and around at my surroundings, there is no one else here. I regain my composure and look at him again. That's when he says something that makes my blood run cold. "Run."

The Prince's Wedding (The Erik Midgard Case Files Volume 3) by kdnorwich1

How do you protect a man when everyone who wants to kill him has a time machine? Edward Minkwood does not exist. Therefore, he should not just have been invited to the prince of Jupiter's wedding. But when time travelling police detective Erik Midgard receives the invitation, he knows that fate may be coming for him once again. The Jupiter Imperia is ecstatic for the wedding of the century, but there are plenty of people who see nothing to celebrate. When Erik and his partner Mirabi arrive to investigate, they find old friends, political tensions, dangerous rebels, assassins, old enemies determined to settle ancient scores and others with mysterious agendas of their own that could literally change the universe. Cut off from their usual support network with the Chronological Operations Agency, Erik and Mirabi have nothing but their wits to keep the prince alive long enough to get to the altar. Along the way, Erik will have to face the greatest dilemmas of his life to find out if his fate is written or not.

Final One Standing by JH_Studios

Time. It's a tricky thing. No one knows just how much time they left. It can be 100 years or 100 seconds. 12 hours or 12 minutes. No one knows. They were just given life and they have to spend their time while they can. But what if you avoid your expiration date? What happens? Are you now invincible or do you have the biggest target on your back. Or what if you just piss off the grim reaper, what then? What if you aren't careful and accidentally drop a coin? What happens if you're the last one standing in a pool of blood? What happens...?
