In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

Emperor Kassian is not a man; he is a nightmare fueled by fire. Cursed by the "Eternal Ember," his blood boils with a scorching heat that drives him to madness. To keep his sanity, he slaughters. To cool his burning veins, he destroys. For years, the Red Tyrant hasn't slept a single night, his mind teetering on the edge of total collapse. Vera is a street-smart thief who knows only one rule: steal to survive. When she breaks into the Imperial Palace, she expects to leave with a bag full of gold. Instead, she stumbles into the Emperor’s forbidden chamber and finds herself face-to-face with the monster himself. But just as death seems inevitable, a single drop of Vera’s blood falls, and the impossible happens. The scent of her blood doesn't drive him to kill; it calms him. Her touch doesn't burn; it freezes. Due to a mysterious artifact she swallowed as a child, Vera is the only living antidote to Kassian’s curse. For the first time, the Tyrant sleeps—but only if she is in his arms. Now, Vera is no longer a thief but a prisoner in the Emperor’s bed. She is his medicine, his obsession, and his only lifeline. Trapped in a palace full of enemies who want her dead and a monster who craves her very essence, Vera must find a way to escape. But as Kassian’s hunger turns from blood to desire, she realizes that the safest place in the kingdom might be the most dangerous place of all: the Tyrant's embrace.

When a veteran Wall Street strategist is inexplicably cast back to 1985 Tokyo, she finds her new family on the brink of financial collapse. Rather than despair, Saionji Satsuki views the era’s economic volatility as a playground for her advanced financial literacy. With the Plaza Accord looming and the Japanese yen poised for a historic transformation, she begins a ruthless climb, turning a desperate situation into a masterclass in wealth accumulation. Satsuki doesn’t just ride the wave of Japan’s bubble economy; she orchestrates its fallout to her advantage. By pivoting from currency speculation to a massive industrial empire, she secures a stranglehold on the nation's future infrastructure, from cutting-edge tech to vital pharmaceuticals. While the rest of the country eventually succumbs to the "Lost Decade," the Saionji Group emerges as an eternal titan, its shadow stretching over every corner of Japanese society.

Though bring powerless and having nothing in hand from before, she refuses to be a passive figure.

Synopsis— A century ago, the Black Dragon King Zeradros possessed the power to grant any wish in exchange for a human life. As rulers and nobles sacrificed the innocent to fulfill their desires, the world fell into fear and cruelty. To stop the endless bloodshed, King Aldric Therald of Velmoria made the ultimate sacrifice, sealing the Dragon King away at the cost of his own life. Since then, the Therald bloodline has carried the sacred duty of guarding the seal. Hundred years later, that burden rests upon Emperor Eyan Lucien Therald. Feared for his ruthlessness and bound by duty, Eyan lives a life defined by control and emotional isolation. He believes love is a weakness he cannot afford—until he meets Eva Elvaris. Eva, a noblewoman marked by a painful past and emotional scars, has lived her life believing she is undeserving of love. When she meets Kyel, a gentle and kind man, she begins to experience warmth, safety, and happiness for the first time. Unbeknownst to her, Kyel carries secrets that connect him to a fate far greater and more dangerous than she could ever imagine. As political tensions rise and hidden forces begin to move, Eva becomes entangled in a conflict surrounding the sealed Dragon King. Ancient duties, buried truths, and impossible choices threaten to destroy the fragile peace they have found. Bound by love, sacrifice, and destiny, Eva and Eyan must confront the weight of their pasts and the cost of protecting each other. But in a world where every wish demands a price, their love may require more than either of them is prepared to give. Love the Way He Lied is a dark romantic fantasy exploring identity, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of love in the face of fate. ___________________________________________ Genres:  Romantic Fantasy • Dark Romance, Tragedy, Historical, Hidden identity.

In the year 1609, the wizarding world stands on the brink of fire and reinvention. The Statute of Secrecy is still decades away. Witch hunts rage across Europe. Ancient goblin clans sharpen their axes, and the New World beckons with both promise and peril. Nicholas, a young man from modern-day Texas, never expected to wake up in the body of a thirteen-year-old orphan at the dawn of Early Modern Hogwarts. Armed with a Southern sense of honor, stubborn practicality, and twenty-first-century knowledge he can never fully reveal, he must navigate a dangerous era where magic is raw, politics are brutal, and survival demands more than wandwork. Thrust into a Hogwarts still steeped in Renaissance ambition and old-world grudges, Nicholas quickly learns that power, loyalty, and blood run deeper than any history book ever taught. When goblin clans launch a bold assault on Hogsmeade, he makes a fateful choice: stand and fight with everything he has, broom, ring, and raw determination. As war brews, old alliances fracture, and the wizarding world hurtles toward an uncertain future, Nicholas must decide how much of his modern values and American spirit, he’s willing to risk in a time that has never known either. Can one boy from another era change the course of magical history… or will the past consume him first? Howdy, y'all. I am testing the waters with this new fanfiction. English is my native language and if there is any propaganda, its that of 'Merica. This is not a translation or chinese propaganda. This fanfiction in Harry Potter is pure HP world, at least for now. If there is a good enough response, I will commit time each week to mass dropping chapters, as I as a reader prefer a lot of chapters at once to read instead of one every couple of days. Currently at ~200k words. Please review and tell me what is good and isn't, so I can improve. AI is used to fill in gaps after I have written out the chapter and have put into an engine to make sure I do not overlook details. I edit all paragraphs and chapters prior to publishing to ensure you cannot tell whether it is AI or me. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy the story that is building, something I am excited to write as it truly is unique in its setting, and more.

It is said that when the moon first turned red, the first vampires were born. Many were ecstatic to worship the moon goddess, Luna, while others rejected the blessing. Due to their blasphemy, they were cursed to turn into Hellios - grotesque creatures with no control over their desires. Hundreds of years later, the war rages on. For Avaline Stark, a young human lady, the war has killed her father and ruined her family. As the middle child of five siblings, she strives to ensure her family doesn't end up on the street.

As the two spend time together, their attraction grows, but not everyone approves of their budding relationship. It's a well-known fact that a relationship between a vampire and a human can be nothing more than a quick fling; it's not meant for long term.

When dangers at home and abroad threatened to tear them apart, the two must decide if they're willing to risk duty for love.

In the middle of the castle garden stood a table prepared for an elegant tea, draped in white lace, set with blue-and-white porcelain, tiered trays of pastel pastries, and crystal cups releasing the mingled scents of roses and spiced leaves in the warm afternoon air. And in the midst of this carefully arranged ensemble lay Mirabelle Luchs. Her wild curls were spread across plates and among the tempting desserts. Her dress had been pushed up to her hips, her legs bent and braced against the edge of the table, trembling. Elegant male hands pressed them farther apart while she desperately tried to close them. Between her legs was the head of a man. His pointed fox ears twitched with amusement as his tongue moved over her again and again. ---- Mirabelle Luchs wakes up in a world that should not exist. A feudal beast kingdom ruled by instinct, hierarchy, and conquest. A world where aristocracy is carved into bloodlines and women like her are used to secure peace after defeat. She inhabits the body of an unmated duchess from the losing side of a brutal war. Sheltered until now. Politically valuable. Offered by treaty to powerful beast nobles from the victorious realm. Men who do not hide their expectations, their presence, or their hunger. Mirabelle is unprepared for medieval court life, for beast instincts worn openly, for how closely power and desire intertwine in this world. But she refuses to remain a passive prize. With a modern mind and a sharp sense for social dynamics, Mirabelle begins to turn the rules against those who seek to control her. Provocation becomes a choice. Submission a performance. A mature reverse harem fantasy set in a medieval beast world, featuring political marriages, power games, and a female lead who refuses to be ruled quietly. Also it is slow burn;)

[Obsessive ML, Indulgent, Forbidden Historical Romance] Read this if you like old-fashioned historical romance novels you found in your mother's library. On the night meant to seal her fate in silk and candlelight, Caelith Emberlyn discovers her new husband cheating on her with her own cousin. Before the humiliation can swallow her whole, another man steps out of the shadows—dangerous, powerful, and far more terrifying than heartbreak. He is the feared Commander of the Shadow Imperial Guard, a man whose name alone stills the court and stains the capital with silenced dread. Where others see a cold enforcer of the throne, he sees only her—wronged, furious, and far stronger than she appears. And he offers her a choice. Stay. What her husband failed to give—loyalty, devotion, power—he vows to place in her hands in his stead. But this is no gentle rescue. Their alliance begins in secrets and smolders in the dark, a forbidden affair that could shatter reputations and topple dynasties. He is ruthless in war and relentless in love, determined to claim not only her presence at his side but the guarded heart she refuses to yield. Meanwhile, her repentant husband returns with soft words and tender promises, swearing to cherish her forever. Yet regret comes too late in a world where power is currency and affection is a battlefield. Caught between a contrite prince of light and a possessive shadow king who would burn the world to keep her, she must decide: Will she return to the safety of a love that broke her… Or step into the fire of a devotion fierce enough to consume them both?
