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.All Rights Reserved

Ravens Valley - HP by hellowolf2

After everything that's happened, he thought there was nothing left, nothing left for him. His friends keep betraying them and then he found out the truth behind why they are his friends.

Family wise, he might have some but really they might be related to him but they ain't no family. He is alone, he has nothing left within either world, he doesn't care anymore, he just wants to be loved, to have a family or just to die. but something happens that makes everything better, he might not trust again but he certainly can now control his path, the path he wants in life, the true Harry Potter that has been hiding deep inside and now out for everyone to see, here comes the true him. - C.W.

Waltz of Steam and Magic by Frank21188

In a world where steam and magic intertwine, ancient treaties collapse under the pressure of a new order, and two drastically different civilizations collide, shaking the entire continent. On one side, an advanced industrial civilization fueled by the power of steam and machinery; on the other, an ancient kingdom built upon the magical elements and arcane forces of old. As these forces clash, the entire continent is thrown into unprecedented chaos, signaling a transformative era that no one is prepared for. At the heart of this upheaval is a war without smoke, a battle between technology and magic. With the rise of the Steam Revolution, mechanical technology and strange magic intertwine, showcasing endless possibilities. From the blazing heat of bullets to the cold shield of ice, from the precise firing of mechanical arms to the stunning force of magical chants, every moment of battle crackles with tension and energy. This is not just a clash of steel and elements; it is a struggle of intelligence and willpower, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Amid this turmoil, a young prince emerges from his homeland's palace, stepping onto a path destined to change the course of history. He is a brave and determined youth, burdened with the weight of his father's legacy and the responsibility to restore his kingdom, which faces both external invasion and internal strife. With his sword in hand and his father's expectations on his shoulders, he embarks on a quest to find answers and uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. However, the war in this world is far more complicated than it appears. The line between magic and machinery, between magic-wielders and engineers, between flying ships and steam-powered trains, is increasingly blurred. In the borderlands far from his kingdom, peaceful villages are destroyed by mechanical beasts, and ancient forests are disturbed by mysterious magical surges.

Between Then & Now // Hugh Jackman by jooniper_moon

(Complete) A possible future tethered by the hands of a watch that can't be controlled. ... Kinsley Hale's grandpa has an obsession with clocks - analog, cuckoo, pendulum. If you can name it, odds are he has it. For his 80th birthday, Kinsley wants to get him something special. Something one of a kind. So, she visits an antique shop. Nothing screams unique quite like old, dusty collectables, and she comes across a beautiful piece - a wornout leather wristwatch encrusted with deep blue stones. It's perfect. Until she finds herself unexpectedly transported from present day New York to Australia in 1994. Thrown completely off guard by dial-up internet, grunge music, and the rise of digital media, she struggles to navigate an era where a young Hugh Jackman has yet to experience fame. Fascinated with his raw talent and magnetic charm, Kinsley finds herself falling for him as she tries to figure out a way back home without changing what happens in the future. Even small actions in the past could alter the course of history, and if she can't keep her emotions in check, she's going to jeopardize everything Hugh is working towards. That leaves her with a heart-wrenching decision when she learns the truth behind the watch. She has to choose between saying goodbye to the man she loves or destroying his dreams.

OR: After a strange nighttime encounter with an old antique clock his father bought a few years back, Tsukasa gets transported to a whole new world, with new, whimsical creatures and experiences such as elves, mythical beings, old tales and mysteries. But with no memories of who he is or who he used to be, Tsukasa is forced to find his way back to a home he can't even remember, all while attempting to recall the past life haunting his thoughts.

Losing Game by cha1nz

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
