She died in one world...
Only to wake up in another-one ruled by smoke, blood, and razor blades.
Olivia Cortéz never expected her life to end in the screech of tires and shattered glass. But death wasn't the end-it was a beginning. Reborn as Anastasia Cortéz in the ruthless world of the Peaky Blinders, she's given one impossible mission:
Make Thomas Shelby fall in love with her... or stay trapped forever.
Armed with knowledge of the future and a mind built for strategy, Anastasia refuses to be just another pawn in Birmingham's brutal game. She's not innocent. She's not fragile. And she certainly isn't afraid of the man everyone else fears.
Thomas Shelby is dangerous, calculating, and untouchable-
...but Anastasia intends to rewrite fate itself.
As desire ignites and power shifts, lines blur between manipulation and real emotion. With Grace Burgess watching from the shadows and enemies closing in, Anastasia must decide:
Is she playing the game...
or losing her heart to it?
Because in a world like this, love isn't just dangerous-
it's deadly.
-
"You're not afraid of me?" Tommy asked quietly, his icy blue eyes cutting straight through her.
Anastasia tilted her head, a slow, knowing smile forming on her lips.
"Should I be?"
"Most people are."
She stepped closer-too close-close enough to feel the heat of him, the danger.
"But I'm not most people, Tommy."
His jaw tightened, something dark flickering in his gaze.
"No," he murmured, voice dropping lower. "I don't think you are."
Her fingers brushed his coat, deliberate. Calculated.
"And you don't like things you can't control."
Tommy smirked faintly, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"I control everything."
Anastasia leaned in, her voice a whisper against his ear-
"Then control this."
And just like that...
the game changed.

Just Wanna Have Fun Walking Dead Fanfic
My name is Aurora. I'm twenty-six years old, and the women in my family have always been a little... different. Powers run through our bloodline, passed from mother to daughter, and mine have never exactly been subtle. Most people would probably use something like that responsibly. Me? I want to fuck shit up. More specifically, I want to fuck shit up in The Walking Dead. I've watched the show enough times to know exactly who I want to save, who deserves a good smack upside the head, and which disasters could have been avoided if somebody with a little common sense-and a whole lot of magic-had been there. So when I suddenly get the chance to jump straight into the world of walkers, crossbows, bad decisions, and ridiculously attractive survivors, I'm not about to waste it. Change the story? Absolutely. Save some lives? Definitely. Cause chaos? Without question. And maybe have a little fun along the way. After all... Girls just wanna have fun.
Fanfic Walking Dead
My name is Kara, and I'm a witch with unlimited power. And when you have unlimited power, things can get boring pretty fast. So, naturally, I decided to start hopping through different universes and messing with some of my favorite shows. Why sit around watching everything go wrong on a screen when I can jump right into the story and change it myself? The Walking Dead is my first stop. Walkers? Easy. Food shortages? Not anymore. Unsafe camps, stupid decisions, unnecessary deaths, and people who desperately need someone to knock some sense into them? Yeah... I can fix that too. I already know how the story is supposed to go, but with me there, canon doesn't stand a chance. Maybe I'll save everyone. Maybe I'll cause a little chaos. Maybe I'll completely rewrite the entire show just because I can. Either way, The Walking Dead is about to get a witch-sized upgrade. And when I get bored again? Well... there are plenty of other universes waiting for me.
Elowyn: In The Walkers Universe
Elowyn Moonhart never asked to carry the ending of a world she once only watched through a screen. After a breakdown over Glenn Rhee's death in The Walking Dead, she wakes up inside the apocalypse itself, surrounded by people who should only exist in fiction. Now Elowyn must survive a world she already knows the ending to---without ever being allowed to say it out loud. 5/16/26
Witch Pitch Black Crossover
My name is Tara. I was sitting at home watching Pitch Black while absentmindedly playing with my magic. With every scene, I found myself huffing in annoyance. "They really did half these people dirty." A smirk crossed my face as an idea popped into my head. "I could make it better." I paused the movie right on Riddick's face. "Damn... he is sex on a stick." The next thing I knew, my magic had plans of its own. One blinding flash later, I woke up on a scorching desert planet-the very world from Pitch Black. Armed with powerful magic, a sarcastic mouth, and absolutely no intention of following the original story, I'm about to turn survival upside down. Monsters. Mercenaries. Deadly suns. And one dangerously attractive convict with eyes that glow in the dark. Canon is about to become a suggestion. After all... Every story could use a witch.![THE BLUEPRINT [(A Thomas Shelby / Peaky Blinders Fix-It AU)]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/414362170-256-k528630.jpg)
THE BLUEPRINT [(A Thomas Shelby / Peaky Blinders Fix-It AU)]
'She didn't see shadows. She knew the steps because she had already walked them." When Krystal woke up in 1898 in the arms of a young Polly Gray, she brought twenty-five years of modern 2026 memories into the cold, coal-dusted grime of Watery Lane. She remembered the shows, the books, the dates, and the exact sequence of tragedies destined to tear the Shelby family apart. For two decades, she played the quiet background character: scrubbing step-stones with lye, painting futuristic glass spires in secret, and binding a dark blue thread to Thomas Shelby's wrist before he marched off to the mud of France. She promised herself she'd stay a spectator. She promised herself she'd let the canon timeline run its course. She was wrong. You can't watch the man you love drown in war noise and stay silent. You can't watch Arthur break, John bleed, or Michael rot in the Highlands when you hold the pen. Rewriting history comes at a price. As Inspector Campbell closes in, IRA bullets fly, and the looming shadows of 1924 threaten to drag her into the sea, Krystal must use every line of her secret knowledge to save the Shelbys. Because Thomas Shelby isn't just building an empire anymore. He's executing a holy blueprint written in her ink -and he will tear all of England apart before he lets her go.

His Fiery Fairy
My dear Miss Featherington, I hope you will forgive the liberty of this letter, but I have discovered that certain gratitudes grow restless if left unspoken, and I find mine has been pacing the length of my mind for some time now. I wished to tell you-properly, and without interruption-how much I owe you. Do you recall that afternoon in the gardens, some months ago now? You were waiting for my sister, half-hidden by the hedges, the late sun catching in your hair as though it had conspired to set you alight. I remember thinking you looked otherworldly-like some fiery fairy who had lost her way and settled, briefly, among mortals. I sketched you then. I did not intend to at first; my hand simply moved before I had thought better of it. And I continued to do so, on other days, from other angles, always when you did not see me. Until, of course, you did. I confess I expected embarrassment-perhaps even reproach. Instead, you looked upon the sketch as though it were something precious. You said it was beautiful. More than that, you told me I should pursue such work if it stirred me so deeply. No one had ever spoken to me thus before. My family indulges my drawing as one might indulge a child's fondness for toy soldiers-amiable, harmless, and entirely temporary. You were the first to suggest it might be more. That it might be mine. It was shortly after that I resolved to apply to the Royal Academy of Arts, having at last concluded my studies at Eton. I do not flatter myself into believing I shall set the world alight-but I am going, Miss Featherington. I am choosing something for myself. And for that courage, such as it is, I have you to thank. Yours most sincerely, Benedict Bridgerton.
