Elijah Miller is a certifiable genius and 19th century London's most eccentric character. By day, he works as a simple clockmaker at his father's clock shop in Westminster, but in his spare time, he locks himself away in his home to study and work on completing his greatest project; a working time machine. If he succeeds, he will not only make a huge contribution to science, but he will finally be able to prove that his late grandfather's stories about his own time travelling escapades were, in fact, true.

But his studies take a huge setback when he and his closest friend, Alessandra Wright, wake up one morning to find that they have unexpectedly traveled over 100 years into the future, into the year 2012. Elijah's time machine apparently works, but why was the pair suddenly thrust into the future? Why did Alessandra travel with him? Is there more to their traveling than what meets the eye? And will Elijah be able to figure out the secret to his time machine and replicate the conditions so that they might return back to their own time of 1895?

The Land of the Purple Ring by DeborahJNatelson
14 parts Complete
The clockwork man is crafted, to begin with-his father forced by that terrible tyrant Time to create her a slave for all eternity. His brain boasts balance wheels and torsion springs; he can wind himself up with a key in his side; and, most importantly, his gyroscopic tourbillon heart glimmers with pure diamond. He is a living being and he is art, and he refuses to remain a slave forever. He therefore slips through Time's fingers as the Sands of Time slip through the cracks of reality (at least, when the time cats aren't using them as a litter box). Among astounding adventures, despite harrowing hardships, and in between escaping interfering enchanters, the clockwork man seeks his imagination, his purpose, and his name.
The Unpocalypse Series - Volume 1 by chris_davies_author
16 parts Complete Mature
Dark beings quietly drive the world toward one of many hellish, apocalyptic outcomes. There are, however, still a few possibilities where peace and goodness can prevail. "The Machine", the vast, godlike intelligence behind reality, spins and calculates, and the few remaining paths to the UNpocalypse all involve four childhood friends acting together as a catalyst for good. Can their childhood bonds survive the tests of time and the hardships of adulthood? How can four kids from a poor neighborhood fight against a world of "hidden monsters"? In this steampunky, machine-age fantasy epic, explore New Anglia, a gritty, powerful nation moving into an age of discovery, but on the cusp of self-destruction. It is a place of illusion, filled with demons disguised as leaders, heroes disguised as the weak, reality-wielders, cross-dimensional visitors, machine-whisperers, and dream-assassins. New Anglia is a place where the stains of past sins are piled into skins and walk the land in human form, and where normal, good-hearted people can still make a difference.

The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily
18 parts Complete
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...
The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway by RadwanRefaat
16 parts Complete
Beneath Victorian London's smog-choked skies, where time bleeds and secrets fester, reclusive inventor Sir Arthur Holloway vanished in 1875. Officially a suicide, rumors whisper of a monstrous machine beneath his manor-the Black Fog, a sentient entity feeding on memories and warping time. His heir, Lady Eleanor, returns to bury his legacy, but the decaying Holloway Manor holds horrors: an encrypted journal of impossible equations, whispers of a forgotten twin sister, and a labyrinthine engine merging man and machine. As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance. The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway- Where every tick is a lie, and every soul a cog in the machine.
