Summary
It's 1965, and Niki Lauda has been shipped off to an English boarding school in disgrace. He hates everything except his best friend Marlene, Saturdays in the local coffee bar, and the possibility of sneaking out at weekends to race in dangerous grassroots hill climb events in his cheap, modified Mini.
The thing he hates the most is James Hunt.

Summary
Hermione Granger has settled into her life after the war. She’s got a well-paying job (and an obscene amount of Galleons for being a hero), a new house, and a shiny rock on her finger which is to be replaced by a wedding band soon. Nothing is missing, right?
Andromeda Tonks goes to great lengths to decline the invitation to the Granger-Weasley wedding. She has convinced herself it’s for the best and what she remembers can be written off as nothing.
An unfortunate accident occurring at an unfortunate time will show them both that ‘nothing’ can sometimes mean ‘something’. -

Summary
Christmastime...ish 1997.
More than pleased to put the peculiarities of The Great Mutato & Company behind them now, Mulder and Scully return to their motel room with a full intention of getting ready to go homeward to The District so that they can get on unpack and slip into 'holiday mode.' Scully in particular is keen to think about an upcoming trip to California.... just never mind that she has one or two distant misgivings. But extravagantly bad weather keeps Mulder and Scully stranded in their hotel room. They have everything they need. And make the most of it. Still... Rather some interesting conversations take place.
Christmastime 2019. Those conversations well and truly become real. Question is... How so?

Summary
Mom always wears a silk ribbon–a ugly one, honestly–in a sky blue with obnoxious red and white polka-dots decorating the length of the ribbon, long enough to wrap around her wrist twice.
I’ve never seen her without it.
In which loss is told through the eyes of a child too young to understand it.

Summary
“Alicent this is—” Harrold starts to introduce but the woman is already standing up, reaching out a hand to shake Alicent’s.
“Special Agent Rhaenyra Targaryen,” the woman—Rhaenyra, what a ridiculous name—introduces. Her hand hovers in the air between them, the stale air of the office coming to a standstill. The only movement is the snow falling softly over the New Haven headquarters. Alicent hates December. Though, the sticky heat of summer is an enemy to her now as the build of sweat on the nape of her neck now only reminds her of one thing—one night. Images flicker in her mind—angel wings made of flesh, words penned in blood. She shudders.
Special Agent Alicent Hightower is trying to catch a serial killer. When her previous partner is killed in the hunt, she finds herself stuck with one Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
A big metal sign was bolted to the middle of the door that read '275'.
Dallas let's go of my arm and takes in a gulp of air before slowly creeking the door open. I walk into the room and my gaze drifts to Johnny's bed that lay in the middle of the room, machines surrounding him making different beeping and buzzing noises every couple seconds.
Or
What if Johnny and Dally had survived that night

Summary
For who is like God? Certainly not Mia, that's for sure. Her life was going really well! One small step away from her degree, living with her best friend, and about to snag one hot piece as a boyfriend. All of that ended when a satyr demon broke into her apartment.
The illusion of a happy life is shattered and Mia is thrown into an eons long conflict. Now she has to live in Hell for protection and cope with everything else to boot! On top of that, the Radio Demon starts screwing with her head, woefully ignorant to the life they built. Alastor enjoys the distraction even as it starts to threaten his demonic sensibilities. And his promotion.
All the while: Ancient demons plot a war. The Radio Demon gets less bored. Charlie becomes acquainted with human musicals. Follow the archangel Michael, clueless about her past, not exactly single, absolutely powerless, painfully mortal, overly reckless, and feeling incompetent.
Welcome to a slow burning fiction where I have crafted an overly complicated origin story for everything, I break typical Christian lore, and attempt to write for more characters than I should. Please enjoy and feel free to rip me a new one. I'm into that.

Countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Serbia, and more have fallen silent. They have been attacked by cosmic horrors of the unknown void. Soldiers from both sides are still fighting against each other but now as half crazed individuals that are shells of their former selves, however some are still sane.

The ones that have kept their sanity and formed as hunters and now look out for themselves.

Summary
After World War I, over 70 German ships interned at the British naval base Scapa Flow mysteriously disappeared…
More than two decades later in 1940, the world is engulfed in a new war against the Mundus Empire, an invading force from another dimension. Having conquered the Southern Hemisphere and steadily expanding its territory, the Mundus Empire has finally set its sights on the Northern Hemisphere.
The United States Pacific Fleet is annihilated off the coast of Hawaii, and the Imperial Japanese Navy’s vaunted Combined Fleet suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of the Mundus Empire’s fleet that has invaded the Truk Islands.
Cornered, the Combined Fleet is relieved by the arrival of a secret fleet of battleships and warships that were supposed to have been sunk as targets under the Washington Naval Treaty, including the battleship Tosa and the German ships that scuttled themselves at Scapa Flow.
Resurrected and transformed by the Magitek Research Department, these ships and weapons are Japan’s new hope against the otherworldly invaders.
Rise, scuttled fleet!
