Cockneys vs Pirates 

The greatest prize at the London 2012 Olympics isn't gold. . . it's the Holy Grail. There's a rumour there's treasure buried beneath the 2012 Olympic site. And that a secret army is going to find it. Only nobody believes it. But when a mysterious group of pirates move to the East End, people become suspicious. And when Cockneys start disappearing, the Pearly King demands answers. But that's the least of Oscar's worries - all he wants to do is kill some cockroaches. The problem is, he's using a chemical weapon to do it. And he has to get rid of it before the police find out.

Baker Street Mystery: Gangster Game by work22deep

In the foggy heart of London, where shadows whisper secrets, detective Sherlock Holmes receives a midnight letter. It hints at a conspiracy that could upend the city. Stolen files implicate powerful figures in politics and crime. A desperate man arrives at Baker Street, bringing chaos and fear. Behind it all is Albert Croft, a ruthless gang leader and dark genius, worthy of Holmes' intellect. This case is a chess game between Holmes' cold analysis and Croft's cunning. Lies and betrayal lurk in the shadows, making the truth elusive. Holmes faces internal conflicts, battling a philosophy that sees good and evil as mere tools of power. Elizabeth Doering, a mysterious woman, enters his life. Is she an ally or foe? Victim or key player? "The Mystery of Baker Street: The Gangster Game" delves into the human psyche, exploring the struggle between reason and emotion, good and evil. It's a thrilling confrontation between Holmes and an opponent who can turn justice on its head. Every page is a new thrill, every chapter keeps you on edge, and every word pulses with mystery and excitement. This isn't just a puzzle; it's a life-or-death game where small mistakes can be fatal, and the enemy may be closer than you think.

Games We Play by Radhavi

Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarm

The Legend of the Uncharted Island by Horus101925

In the 17th century, the infamous pirate Verbeck terrorized the Spanish colonies, amassing an incalculable fortune. But his greatest secret does not lie in the Caribbean... rather, it is hidden on an island in another world, where he stashed his treasure alongside an artifact of unimaginable power: the Helm of Guzob, a war relic of the elves. A Century later, a failed writer steals an ancient diary that describes a sailor's journey in search of an island that appears on no map. Inspired, he writes a novel based on these tales, never imagining that its publication would awaken the fury of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Inquisition, who see more than fiction in those pages... and accuse him of heresy. The writer is arrested and taken to prison. When his granddaughter discovers what has happened, she decides to investigate on her own and soon finds herself drawn into the same dangerous conspiracy. Her search leads her to cross paths with a young Jesuit, a descendant of Verbeck, who is also following the trail of the legendary island. Both end up joining the crew of Captain Skippy, a bold elf in service to the elven colony of Synderin, on the edge of the forests of the British colony of Georgia. With his people on the brink of economic collapse, Skippy sees the hunt for the treasure as the last chance to save his home. But they are not alone in the race for Verbeck's fortune. A greedy viceroy, a ruthless pirate, and fanatical inquisitors, guided by dark forces, are willing to spill blood to claim the helm and the pirate's cursed gold. For Skippy, his crew, and their new allies, this journey will be more than a simple treasure hunt: it will be an odyssey that defies the laws of their world and forces them to confront secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.

Hidden Beast by FairyTale-Butterfly

I grunted in pain at the impact with the floor, the weight of the deadly beast keeping me down. I knew this was it, the beast would end me. Then the weight was lifted of me and I turned around only to see it stared me straight in the eyes. It was close enough for me to see the calculating golden brown eyes. Then it turned and ran away. Leaving me there alive and confused. Why had the beast spared me? *** Ruby lives a carefully woven weave of lies, she hopes to start a new life but then things change and the truth is brought to the surface. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jasper attends the yearly competition between nobles to give his father power in the world of nobles. ----------------------------------------------------------------- What happens when the two meet each other and an undeniable bond begins to form between them and dark secrets is revealed?

Pen Pals [Cedric Diggory] by notoriousnika

After five years of Hogwarts, Cedric thought he had the school year routine in his control, but then two stupid decisions make his sixth year a lot more interesting and harder to get through. Forget about the Tournament (which he actually entered because of a dare), more importantly, he found himself a pen pal through an assignment and he doesn't even know who he's writing to. To win a bet, Cedric has to find this mystery girl before she finds him and he has to do it without being too blatantly obvious. ----------------- [Cedric Diggory] year of 1994

BBC Sherlock Holmes and the Nightshot Experiment (COMPLETE) by CLIreland

"The universe is rarely lazy enough to deliver a coincidence, especially one in plain sight. When something is so eager to be spotted then it would hardly be polite to ignore it" Something ghastly is occurring in the shadows of London. Three people have died and the cause of their death is unrecognizable, the only link found is a series of threatening letters sent directly to each of the diseased. With Mycroft stumped and the British Government in peril it's up to the consulting detective and his blogger to solve the case before time runs out. With the murderers motives and methods opaque Sherlock finds himself rapped up in a mystery that is not only perplexing but emotional in a way that he could never have imagined. Will the team solve their most personal case to date? Or will they too fall victim to the illustrious Nightshot Experiment? THE GAME IS ON! (Contains mild Adlock) DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR MY OWN. SHERLOCK IS COPYRIGHT OF THE BBC AND ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. I'm always looking for feedback so if you see any mistakes like typos, grammar, spelling ect then please let me know! If you have any advice for how I could improve the story or any plot holes then I would love you to tell me :) Thank you :)
