A memoir that follows the life of a new family in war-torn Vietnam escaping by boat not knowing where they would end up. A very pregnant Lan and her husband, Thanh, float aimlessly in their family's broken down fishing boat until a big Hong Kong cargo ship pick them up. They eventually make their way to Hong Kong and save up enough money doing odd jobs until they land in the United States. A week after landing, Lan finally gives birth to their daughter, Thuy Duong, the first to be anointed Vietnamese American in her generation. This is a story of grit, perseverance, love, betrayal, and forgiveness.

Emperor's Pampered Cannon fodder
Being a modern free spirited girl, Gongsun Li couldn't accept her fate as a cannon fodder concubine when she found herself transmigrate into her favorite novel. So, she decided to ask the emperor for divorce and live a carefree life. But why does the icy cold emperor seems to explode like a raging volcano everytime she asks for a divorce?! Snippets: Gongsun Li was actually sleeping like a pig. A warm smile appeared in Zhu Zhen's face as he wrapped his arms around her tiny figure and pulled her closer ever so gently. Finding a sudden warmth, G.Li snuggled closer to the source in her deep slumber. She was so obediently lying in his arms, neither struggling nor cursing. Zhu Zhen wanted to stop the flow of time, then and there! "Silly stubborn wife, Why won't you obediently lie in my arms every night? Why won't you let me always hold you like this?", he whispered his complaints while nuzzling his nose in her hair. Suppressing the lump formed in his throat with a bitter smile he murmured, "Only if you would let me, Then I wouldn't be so desperate, Then I wouldn't be so hurt."

An Overstayed Welcome: Finding Home
This is a fictional story based on my family's and my personal experiences of moving to the United States from Mexico where I learned the hard truths of family, culture and life.
Hide-and-seek
Au in which Eddy and Brett are living in China and are sons of poor peasants. They are working in different factories and best friends (or could there be more than friendship?) The story takes place in the early 20th century but planes are already invented and there are airports and stuff. I tried to orient a bit on the actual historical situation in the countries, but it's definitely not 100% accurate! The story is vaguely based on a dream of mine and the Twosetweek prompts of April 2020. It's my first real fanfic, I hope you like it😊 ~MollyAbgeschlossene Geschichte
