Once a professional, confident railroad foreman, a freak accident with a tamping iron would change Phineas Gage's life forever. After a three-month stay in a hospital, Gage, with his face disfigured and his personality altered from brain damage, finds integrating himself back into society difficult. When he takes a risk and moves to Chile, finding a steady job in the process, he eventually feels as if he has gotten his life back. However, when tragedy strikes and suspicion falls onto Gage, how will he react?
Based on a true story. Sam Kean has a wonderful article on the real Phineas Gage and his story on Slate.com. Check it out if you'd like to see the events I based this off of. :)

Reina de la Muerte
Suited for an audience 18 and older. Read at your own discretion. *** "Don't think for a second I don't hate you any less because we're married," I hiss out. Seeing Gabriel's growing smirk only pisses me off more. "If I knew what I was signing up for when I agreed to this then I would have ripped that stupid contract up the first chance I got." My sentence trails off when Gabriel takes another step towards me, then another until he's towering over me. I can feel how huge my eyes become when he slams my back to the bathroom door, wrapping his hand around my throat and pressing it to the wood. A gasp escapes me when Gabriel squeezes it, squeezing until I'm panting for every breath. I can already feel my body betraying me, though. My words may be telling him how much I despise him, but my body knows what the truth is and it shows from the growing arousal between my legs. "Don't be so crude, princesa," Gabriel mutters, forcing my head back to stare into his blazing brown eyes. "Let's not forget that we're a happily married couple. So I suggest you walk into that meeting with a smile on your face... Unless you'd rather have them all listen to me fuck the attitude out of you instead." ***Complete
I'm your huckleberry (Tombstone 1993) (Doc Holliday X Reader)
The joys of modern inventions and miracles are often taken for granted. Your hungry or thirsty? Get something from the fridge or make it. You need to go somewhere? Drive or call an uber. Your hurt? Go to the doctor. Your bored? Watch a movie, play video games, watch videos on the internet, talk to people without ever leaving your house. Some much time is in our hands... but back in the 19th century... you wouldn't last very long. Diseases are rampant, gun violence is higher, no modern technology, barely any good medicine, almost all of your favorite food doesn't exist and most of the people are rude as hell. But... That doesn't mean all of them were so bad. Love was not something most people in this time really cared about. At least, in the town of Tombstone, Arizona. After falling asleep with a nice looking stone you bought at a small stand at the carnival, your whole world becomes the opposite. Six people from the past discover you unconscious and alone in the blistering heat and offer help but it was their help that let you meet the most amazing man you've ever met. John Henry "Doc" Holliday. *I am the one who took the picture. The cover. When I was on a cross-country road trip, we went to Tombstone, Arizona and I took that picture*Complete

Addicted to more chemicals than a lab rat, Alfred has a hard time keeping his head up- quite literally.

Now he is wrestling with both his addiction, and someone he was supposed to marry in 1860! Ivan was an addict, once. He understood the pain of withdrawal. He wants to help, since there was nobody around to help him. The idea of joining the Union was one he hadn't even thought of before his boss had arranged the marriage with the dictatrix. Now, he was thrown into a world he didn't know, forced to interact with people he had never met, and be one of the first nations, the third most powerful, to join a mega-nation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extra: Alfred is headcannoned as brown get over it.
