Alysa's life had always been slow and peaceful, with days spent engrossed in painting and leisure. It seemed that nothing would change from her routine and she was glad for it despite the lingering emptiness that remained in her heart from her past and her wish for something more in her future.

But an unexpected, violent clash with a client on a very ordinary day changes everything. Waking up in a world much different from her own and in the place of another, she is faced with the challenge of fitting in a setting she knows nothing about. What's more, there is something magical about the world that she gets to experience firsthand much sooner than she expects, and on a personal level too.

While she accepts and settles into her new life and role, a chance meeting with a powerful stranger gets her tangled in something far more dangerous than what it seems. What begins as merely unbiased aid and affection for those with nowhere else to go soon blossoms into an irrevocable emotional connection of hearts. 

But it is never simple in the wake of a desperate struggle for freedom and brutal battles ahead.

You fall to the ground, unconscious. Ed's grin turns down and his eyes widen in horror. A bright yellow light fills the room. He traces the thick black vine that reached out from the machine into your heart. Ed's knees gives up from under him. Al rushes in. "Brother, what's-" Ed turns to Al, tears and desperation filling his eyes. "She's gone, Al. She's gone. And it's all my fault!" Al's eyes widen as he stares at the figure behind his brother. Your body was vaporizing slowly. Al points towards you, shaking. The yellow light swallows your body, along with the vine and Ed's machine. Ed turns and hangs his head as everything falls silent. Al stands there wordlessly. Ed blinks away his tears, determination set in his eyes. "She's gone, Al, but I won't allow that. It's not a fair equivalent exchange." Ed looks up at Al. "We're going to bring her back." ~ Something weird is up. Your powerful alchemy powers were admired all through the land, and yet no one seems to know what alchemy is. That is, until you meet Edward Elric and his brother, Alphonse Elric.

Through many hardships with the Elric brothers, you begin to grow close to them, and even start to fall for Al, but he doesn't feel the same. Ed, though, falls for you, and you couldn't help but feel bad. You don't realize how you feel about him. That is, until Ed sacrifices the most important thing to him to be able to keep you by his side. ************ This story is based on the original FMA series after the Conqueror of Shamballa movie.

IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * From a life of pleasant luxury and heart racing adventure, Yukihara Izumi is unexpectedly thrown into a world of poisonous malice and turmoil. For a not-so-average teenage girl of the modern world, fighting and shady work aren't all that new or surprising. However, similar situations in the Feudal Era are ruthlessly torturous, battering and definitely something anyone would wish to never experience, not even one as steadfast as Izumi. But she soon settles into the rough life with the Feudal Capital's downtown civilians. Not so surprisingly, things aren't always as simple as they seem to be and don't remain so forever either. It took just one unexpected encounter with an unexpected stranger in dire need of help to turn Izumi's life upside down. Dragged into the dark depths of lies, insidious plots and dangerous people in a place where nothing is what it appears to be, it is purely survival of the fittest. The coldest, cruellest and most merciless Emperor to have ever dictated the Empire is not the only one she has to face but also his vicious and obscure vassals that have an eagle's eye on her every move. It has always been easy for Izumi to keep up her inherent strength and determination no matter how dire the situation and that's what she plans on doing even after being thrown into a world of mayhem. But perhaps things can get a lot more complicated and out of hand when deeper emotions are involved - curiosity, deadly desire and suffocating possessiveness. ~~~~~~~~~~ ORIGINAL STORY, PLOT AND CHARACTERS (C) Midnight_Lilac

•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women. Althea's life takes an exhilarating turn when she discovers her unique ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Upon first use of this newfound power, she is sought out by a hidden society of individuals with diverse abilities of their own. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for purpose, Althea delves into this enigmatic world, leaving behind the mundane pursuit of suitors. Within the society's embrace, she learns the intricacies of her magical abilities and the vastness of their universe. Yet, Althea senses that profound secrets still elude her, mysteries that might hold the key to her ultimate destiny. "The Cadre of Embers" is a spellbinding tale of love, empowerment, self-discovery, and the latent potential within us all. For those who yearn to escape the confines of ordinary existence, this is a journey you won't want to miss.

IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * Unlike others around her, Arisa Lee was special. She was different, a child of darkness shunned by society because of her special ability, her power of alchemy. She chose a life of isolation when she grew because of that, and for a job that needed her to keep her identity and very existence a secret. And she loved it. A moment of recklessness and a dangerous mistake turns her life upside down though, throwing her into a world where alchemy is nothing uncommon. She is quickly surrounded by things she never expected to have existed - State Alchemists, Homunculi and the Philosopher Stone - though is quick to adapt and begin her journey to look for a way back home. While she meets many she comes to care for on her journey, she also meets with trouble, especially from a sadistic Homunculus who cannot leave her alone for more reasons than one. It is a test of time, emotions, bonds and secrets that Arisa must face on her journey, to protect those she wants to protect and achieve what she wants to achieve. But perhaps there is much more at stake and to be considered during her search for a way home - secrets, revelations, wishes and perhaps even love. ~~~~~~~~~~ Fullmetal Alchemist and all its franchise (C) Hiromu Arakawa KDrama Healer and all its franchise (C) Song Ji-Na OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_Lilac

She has no choice but to blend in with ninjas, learn their battle strategies and go with the natural flow of the shinobi world. Despite being a powerful shinigami with many secrets to hide from everyone around her, Saya comes to like being in this strange new place. During her journey, she comes across a very unique person. One who has known pain and suffering, much different from her own, but hides it behind a mask of coldness and cruelty just as she hides hers behind her smiles. A man, who in the shinobi world, is known to be one of the most heartless and terrifying of ninjas - Uchiha Itachi. Noticing him beyond the mask he wears to cover the turbulent emotions inside and not afraid of whom he portrays himself to be, Saya slowly begins to break the walls built around his heart. Offering a shoulder to lean on, a gentle touch and an open heart was all that was needed to bring her close to him - closer than anyone had ever got to his true self. Accepting challenges and the complicated past of the shinobi world, Saya does all she can to give the innocent Uchiha another chance at happiness and another chance to be loved. ~~~~~~~~~~ Bleach and all its franchise (c) Tite Kubo san Naruto and all its franchise (c) Masashi Kishimoto san OC and creative plot (c) Midnight_Lilac
