An alternate timeline where the US prospers early on and develops into a formidable, yet decentralized country.

In this alternate history short story, set in 476 AD, the Roman Empire faces collapse, but instead of falling, the Senate elects its first Empress, Aelia Flaccilla, a determined and visionary leader who steers Rome away from the brink of destruction. Through military strategy, political reforms, and a focus on justice and stability, Aelia revives the empire, forging powerful alliances and launching successful campaigns to reclaim lost territories. As her reign ushers in a new golden age, Aelia's final days are marked by a touching, humble journey through the streets of Rome. Despite her frailty, she walks among the citizens she saved, speaking with those from all walks of life. In her last moments, seated by a fountain surrounded by her people, Aelia passes peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and hope. Her death is met with an outpouring of grief, as the citizens of Rome chant her name in reverence. This is the story of an Empress whose reign transformed an empire and whose final act of humility immortalized her in the hearts of her people.

When a mysterious blue flash shunts the USS Makin Island (LHD-8) and the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of the Pacific and into the world of Remnant, the laws of physics and magic collide. Stranded without GPS, satellite support, or a way home, the crew of the Wasp-class assault ship finds themselves caught between the crumbling sovereignty of the Kingdom of Atlas and the encroaching darkness of the Grimm. While the Huntsmen of Beacon Academy fight with soul-shielded heroics and magical Dust, the US Marines respond with the brutal, calculated logic of combined arms warfare, 120mm sabot rounds, and JDAM precision. As the "People from the Stars" struggle to refine Remnant's hydrocarbons and maintain their finite supplies, they realize Salem is more than a fairytale-she is a strategic threat. From the Fall of Beacon to a desperate nuclear-powered gamble to reopen the portal to Earth, this is a technothriller exploration of what happens when 21st-century American military doctrine meets a world of monsters. Logistics is a nightmare. Magic is a variable. Victory is a necessity.

Disclaimer: This story is based on an Europa Universalis IV alternate history mod: Ante Bellum, this story specifically covers a timeline where the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba survives the attempted reconquista of the Christians led by Francia, colonized the new world, spread Islam throughout the globe, and made it through the centuries becoming a modernized Islamic state. (Credit to Parmelion for the Ante Bellum mod) After trials and tribulations, wars fought and rebellions quelled, only for another to come. Al-Andalus is truly a unique state, built by a disgraced dinasty after facing a rebellion, losing the title of "Khalifah" to said rebellion, and fled the chaos to a fringe region where most of it's inhabitants don't even speak Arabic or practice Islam. Al-Andalus has became a place where Christians, Muslims and Jews live side by side, such tolerance was never heard of in that time period. Granted, toleration can only go so far when you're surrounded by hostile neighbors. But by some miracle, Al-Andalus prevails. With the discovery of the Americas, the Andalusians were presented with an opportunity. After the Nizzarid pretender of Egypt cut of routes from India, the Andalusians could make up for the lost trade for an oceanic Empire, and use that funding to find alternative route to India. This empire building slowly snowballing Andalusia to become the world's naval hegemon, with territories covering from Kalifurniya to Malaya. Reforms and previously flawed system of equality were rectified, religious converts at an all time high, economy is booming. But alas, just like any colonial empire. It has to come to an end eventually, the Neo-Kharijites faning the flames of revolution across the Caliphate, most breakaway peacefully, others by force. And thus, the Andalusian golden age come to an end. But in year 1976, whilst the nation faces economic stagnation, A GATE has appeared in the city of Ishbiliya, and the Caliphate finds an opportunity.

Welcome to a steampunk adventure like no other! The year is 1850, an era of clanking iron and choking coal smoke. To most, the world is a place of rapid progress, but for Rab and Vanessa, it is a battlefield. They are elite vampire hunters working for a shadowy organization known only as The Firm. Born with "the Gift"-a divine enhancement that grants them superhuman strength and the ability to sense the presence of the undead-they are the hidden line of defence in a world that refuses to believe in monsters. The couple travelled to the grand, soot-stained city of Bucharest for a honeymoon, an attempt to find a moment of peace among the opera houses and fine hotels. But as their triple-hulled airship, the Sky Raven, moors above the city's brass-riveted spires, the dream of a vacation vanishes. Rab, a six-foot powerhouse of muscle and scars, feels the "Cadence"-the rhythmic, psychic thrum of an ancient evil-vibrating through the very cobblestones of the city streets. The legendary Dracula is no myth; he is a predator who has adapted to the industrial age, and his influence stretches from the dark alleys of the capital to the jagged peaks of the Carpathian Mountains. Forced back into action, Rab and Vanessa must trade their finery for iron-shod stakes and pneumatic rifles. From the opulent ballrooms of Bucharest to the freezing stone of the vampire's mountain lair, they must do what they were born to do: hunt. The peace is broken, the honeymoon is over, and the blood will flow.

ME - The Beast in Me is a psychological myth set in the suspended city of Superbia, where the Ego becomes a god, the mind a labyrinth, and identity a mask you can't take off. If you enjoy books like Percy Jackson but want a darker, more adult myth, this novel transforms classical hero trials into inner battles. Instead of Greek gods, Superbia's Pantheon rules the psyche: Narcisa Covert - the Shadow Goddess, mother of personality disorders. Overer - the Lord of Excess and Perfection. Sixteen semi-divine archetypes shape the soul's journey. The book unfolds in Thirty Acts: ten Admirations, ten Martyrs, ten Excesses - a descent into the self where the Beast is never outside you, but within. If you're searching for Percy Jackson-like mythology for adults, this novel turns divine trials into psychological truth. The Beast doesn't come from outside. It comes from you.

In the year 5026, a catastrophic mistake shatters reality itself. A powerful consciousness known as the Reality Entity-born from science beyond comprehension-is torn from its timeline and lost in the chaos of fractured worlds. It finds refuge in the most ordinary place imaginable: a pair of scratched glasses worn by a teenage boy in 2026. Alex is just a normal student. He plays games, avoids trouble, and watches his school slowly fall into chaos after the suspension of its only real peacekeeper. But when his quiet thoughts begin to rewrite reality, impossible things start happening-subtly, silently, and without warning. Wishes don't come true through magic or miracles. Instead, reality adjusts itself logically behind the scenes-documents get signed early, decisions change, people arrive sooner than they should. Wishes come true. Timelines adjust. History edits itself. And Alex has no idea that every choice he makes is being watched, learned from, and slowly reshaping the world. This is not a story about becoming a hero. It's about what happens when reality listens.
