For many years I have been intrigued by the multi-faceted life of Alexandra David-Neel who lived from 1868 to 1969. She lived for nearly one hundred and one years - years rich with adventure and mystery. Alexandra was a student radical in her youth, and went on to have a career as an opera singer, later becoming a feminist journalist who journeyed to India, Tibet and China. At the age of 55 she trekked incognito to the "forbidden city" of Lhasa, Tibet enduring incredible hardships. She produced thirty books including "My Journey to Lhasa" and "Magic and Mystery in Tibet." Her life and writings had a profound influence on the Beat culture and the emergence of American Buddhism.

"Incognito: A Novel of Alexandra David-Neel" is a fictional work in progress. To confuse matters further, it is told from two different points of view - "Beyond the Garden Gate" is third person while "Alexandra" is first person point of view.All Rights Reserved

Darkest / Light by blackcoffeecgr

The irony, that the golden bird cage was a reflection of herself- a worthy possession of her dammed soul. Literally. sirius black x fem!oc A/n 2024- i wrote this story in 2021 and I never finished it ( the epilogue in a sense makes the story complete without being compleated if that makes sence) however, im quite proud of my fourteen/fifteen year old self for the quality of writing that I managed to pull off. So hear I am four whole years later publishing what I wrote.

Guide to Marrying a Gangster in the 1970s by mahalakshmiponsing

七零嫁大佬指南 Ye Huan is a flower fairy from the immortal sect. By chance, she traveled to a period novel. The loudspeaker of the street office was shouting passionately: "Go to the countryside, go to the frontier, go to the place where the motherland needs you most!" Her mother said to her: "This batch of educated youth will go to the Red Star Farm. There is a flower garden in the Red Star Farm. Mom asked someone to assign you to the flower garden. Planting flowers is better than farming." Ye Huan sorted out the plot. She has a half-sister named Ye Qing. In order not to go to the countryside, Ye Qing married first. Now there are two paths in front of her. One is to find someone at random, no matter if he is blind, lame or an old bachelor, as long as he is a person, marry him quickly, and the other is to go to the countryside as an educated youth and plant flowers. Ye Huan: Plant flowers, I can. Cover a roll and go to plant flowers. A girl came to the farm. She sat in front of the flowerbed with a pony and listened to the chatter of the farm ladies. She was prettier than the flowers. The young men in the military compound found excuses to take a look at her, but Captain Gu's face was stern and his brows were knitted into the shape of a "川". Captain Gu was very strict and treated male and female soldiers equally. During training, he could even make female soldiers cry if they applied vanishing cream. Everyone said that Captain Gu was probably not used to this girl. Until one day, someone saw Captain Gu leading the girl in a department store. The girl insisted on buying vanishing cream for someone and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, I want all these vanishing creams." Everyone cried, "..." So you are this kind of Captain Gu!

Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Princess by darkhybrid13

When world-famous singer Taylor Swift and rebel Princess Alexandra Habsburg meet at a charity gala in London, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. Both are burdened with fame and public expectations, but amidst the glitz and appearances, they discover a deeper connection. As they navigate media scandal, forbidden love, and internal struggles, Taylor and Alexandra must decide if they are willing to break the rules of duty and tradition to live an authentic life and love freely, even if it means facing the consequences of defying the world. ps.Chatgpt helped me with the description of this because I'm very bad with that. It doesn't follow any timeline of Taylor's life, I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with her, in fact I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with everything, so don't take any of this seriously, it's just literature and not even good literature.

Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person.

To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

The Exiled Gem by Maplebell

Exiled from her own land - to be executed if she ever returns, Princess Alexandra finds herself turning a spy for the enemy. Because, well, they impress her. Especially the splendid emperor, who is indebted to Alexandra for a number of things he wouldn't tell. She doesn't mind that - because life just turns a lot more colorful outside the Palace walls - until one (not so) fine day, she realizes that the emperor no longer *only* impresses her. Unfortunately, the course of true love never runs smooth. And before she can even give herself a chance with Liam, Alexandra has to sort a few things out. Namely, all the mistakes the previous generation did. **The story starts from 339 B.C. but language used is completely modern because I don't know Ancient Greek**

How will she survive with the tag of characterless?

Beyond Destiny ~ A Saga Of Timeless Love by magicshopofficial

"We shouldn't play with fire, Rooh," He spoke near my ears, pecking my jawline. I was breathing erratically unable to encompass my perturbation. "What if I want to play with it?" I said, my voice sensual, subduing my thudding heart. His hand went to my waist, and he squeezed it, kneading it. "It will burn you, Rooh. You don't know the vehemence of the burning blaze. It will eradicate your existence," His voice was dark and titillating, making me shudder at the intenseness. "What if I want it to deplete me? What if I want to get burned in this vehemence of burning blaze?" I contested. "Think before you articulate anything, Rooh. I am not a manageable man." "I don't like manageable things, Dev." "Once you are mine, I will never allow you to go. You will be mine in every fucking birth," He spoke out possessively. "I want to be yours in my every birth, Prince Dev Pratap Singh." ******************************************** Destiny - predetermined state or end. Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for. It is a thing to be achieved. Ruhanika Sharma is a simple girl with a filmmaking degree who loves history and lives in a fantasy world. Despite the challenges she faced throughout her life, she never lost her innocence and finds joy in the little things. Upon abruptly discovering herself in a distinct realm wherein all individuals are donning customary attire and preparing to greet the Crown Prince of Magadh, what transpires? What happens when she realizes she is in the past, specifically 800 years ago, rather than the present? What would happen if she attracted the interest of Prince Dev Pratap Singh, the Crown Prince of Magadh? How was she going to return to her own time? Moreover, what happens if she decides against returning? What if they were able to find comfort in one another? What will be their destiny?
