The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...

Unrequited (Prequel to IMPOSSIBLE and INFAMOUS) by inkwellheart

Time waits for no one. Except maybe her. When Time first met Alice Chataway, he never meant to fall in love. But with her charming smile and lust for life, she manages to captivate the keeper of minutes and seconds. Knowing that any sort of a relationship with her is completely out of the question, Time resigns himself to being merely a spectator in her life, watching her become a fierce leader, a devoted wife, and a loving mother. But when someone comes onto the scene who is determined to harm his beloved Alice, Time is forced to choose between living by the code of Time or interfering and saving the love of his life. ***Note: While this can be read as a standalone, it is in fact a prequel to my stories IMPOSSIBLE (a fanfiction sequel to Marissa Meyer's HEARTLESS) and INFAMOUS (a sequel to IMPOSSIBLE). To get the most out of it, it's best to read these first***

The Pickpocket by pleasantly_wholocked

My name is Jamie Hattchet. I'm fourteen years old and a trained actor/pickpocket. My life was pretty normal until I found the pocket watch. After that everything sort of spiralled out of control and my dad and I were flung through the pages of history (and the future), meeting all sorts of people; friends, foes, celebrities and things. All we wanted to do was to get back to our normal lives, to perhaps start afresh. I could do school and Dad could get a proper job, stop killing people for once. No such luck. Time is a harsh mistress. My name is Jamie Hatchett and this is my story.

The Clock of Miss Fortune ✔ by ChintanBhanushali

Hannah is an antique collector. One day she stumbles upon a very old Longcase clock and immediately gets pulled towards it as if a voice was calling her to posses it. She buys the clock and soon after that her life and everyone around hers start to change. Time twists, memories surface and above all whatever rests within that clock is about to awake from its deep slumber. This is not an average jump scare horror story. I've managed to write it as I wanted it to be and I love the outcome. So, I hope everyone reading it will show the same love to this story. Vote and comment for support. Thank you very much for reading. This will be a short story. New chapters will be published on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I miss any mentioned day then I'm either sick or out of town for work.
