In 1883 Anno Domini, Trenton Fitzgerald invented the Fitzgerald Lighter-Than-Air Battleship, which enabled Ireland to rebel against the English force that had maintained both strict laws and regulations and fierce protection of her shores. The designs quickly leaked, and a war was ignited. This was the Fiddler's War, and the story behind that name is a strange one.
Connor Benton was an eccentric Irish violinist who used the war inadvertently; he is perhaps the single most influential figure in the sequence of events, whether or not it was his intent.
Connor Benton. Hero? Villian? Rogue? Poet? Madman? Musician?
Perhaps all of the above, but that is not for the historians to judge.

The Pirate Hunter's Game (Finished)
Note: This story is finished and is terrible. The Pirate Hunter's Game Captain Jessip Sharp is a disgruntled merchant who has lost fortunes to air pirates countless times.

This time he is taking matters into his own hands. To hunt down and destroy the pirates that have for so long caused him grief. Even if, by the Government's definition, that makes him a pirate as well. Will Captain Jessip Sharp rid the skies of pirates, or will he soon discover that maybe the pirates aren't so different from himself. My name is Demon. And I hope you enjoy my steam powered, post apocalyptic story of airships, flying cites, and crazy redhead pirates.Terminé
The Coming of Finn
Finn's father, Cumhal of Clan Baiscne, is assassinated on the night of his birth. Cumhal was lord captain of the famed Fianna of Erin, a much feared, mounted knighthood of woodsmen warriors who risked their lives to protect their island country's many miles of rugged coastline from marauders and invaders. The Captaincy of the Fianna is a blood right heritage passing from father to son and a position of enormous power in Erin, indeed, second only to the High King himself. Young Finn grows up continually hunted by his father's enemies, who seek his death to steal that heritage. He must find a way to overcome enormous trials, both mortal and immortal if ever he hopes to regain his father's ancestral seat. Will Finn unlock the mysterious secret of the famed Salmon of Knowledge and defeat the hundred-year-deceased spirit of a legendary sage of history who challenges him to a magical game of chess? Will he be able to solve the riddle of the Hag at the Well of Healing Waters? Most frightening of all, how will Finn overcome Aillean of the Flaming Breath, a creature spawned in the dark of the underworld that visits great evil upon the Land of Erin, claiming the lives of any who confront it? Only by victory over these and many other labors will young Finn grow to become the greatest of ancient Ireland's heroes, assuming at last the leadership to guide his countrymen in their noble quest for freedom. His tale is full of the whimsy of Faery, the guiding influences of the gods, and the deepest questions of honor, the code of manhood, courage and integrity.Terminé

They've lived together; they've lived apart.

Da Capo
Da Capo: a music term for 'from the beginning'. Starting all over again. At twenty-seven, Stephanie Ryan had to restart her life Da Capo. After being heartbroken by her ex-boyfriend Leon, Stephanie knew she needed a change. Music had always been her dearest passion in life, so on a whim she left her boring HR job in Boston to live in London with her friend and fellow violinist Lydia. Taking in the culture of classical music in the city would hopefully remind her who she truly was. Kyle Lancaster had been Juilliard's shining star two years ago: a concert pianist graduating at the top of his class, he soon became a well-known name amongst the classical music scene, selling out performance halls nearly every night while on tour. Now he's back home in London teaching a masterclass at the Royal Academy... but so is his ex, the famous violin virtuoso Chloe Alistair. Being here with her will no doubt be awkward, considering how his fans (and his publicists) expect the two of them to get back together. But one day before class, Kyle walked in on a red-haired woman practicing her violin all alone. He found her to be rude, tactless, and utterly infuriating... and before he knew it, all the plans other people had for his life came crumbling down around him. #1 in Violin - 11/2023 *COMPLETE*Terminé
