Summary
Yelena Rabinovich has always been a fighter.
It’s in the way she holds her ground on the Brooklyn sidewalks, the way she stands between Steve Rogers and a fight he can’t win, or the way she looks at Bucky Barnes like he hung the damn moon.
From the streets of New York to the battlefields of Europe, from childhood promises to war-torn realities, she learns that love and survival don’t always go hand in hand. But if there’s one thing she knows for sure—she’s not going down easy.
(Lennie's story will span from the 1930s to current MCU timeline, with some canon divergence as I see fit)

Summary
December 1938
There was a dead man standing on his porch.
Indy shook his head. Surely, his weary mind was playing tricks on him. It must be a neighbor who just happened to bear some resemblance to…
“Abner?”
It couldn’t be. And yet, he could see echoes of Marion in the man’s strong chin and the eyes that stared out from behind thick glasses and the scant black hairs fighting a losing battle against the white.
“Yes,” the man replied. “Hello, Jones.”

Summary
“You– You think this whole business is silly don’t you? I mean, running away and everything.”
“No,” Etho answers honestly. “No. It’s too good of a story.” He’s largely indifferent to Joel’s priorities and continues to sip his beverage and eat his doughnut.
Joel smiles disbelievingly.
“Yes, you do. You think I'm a fool and a spoiled brat. Perhaps I am, although I don't see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way, you know. I never have. On the contrary, I've always been told what to do and how to do it and where and with who. Would you believe it? This is the first time I've ever been alone with a man of your kind!”
Suddenly he’s a bit more elated than months prior and his character becomes all that more different. Alone and not a body-guard in sight? This is a mighty nice dream.
“Yeah?”
“It’s a wonder I’m not panic stricken.”
“Hm. You’re doing all right.”

Summary
A remake of my very first Fanfiction story. Halloween 2022 marked the 20th year anniversary of when the first BloodRayne game was released, and August 4, 2023 will be ten years since I published my very first fanfic story: “BloodRayne: Chronicles of Blood – Origins". How time flies! I like to view this remake as the new and improved version of my first work – correcting the previous story’s mistakes and adding more detail to it. I hope you all enjoy it.
My original story is on Fanfiction if you would like to read it under my pen name The History Queen.

Summary
“I am afraid, my lord,” Bunter said, with a face so straight Lord Peter was certain he was putting it on, “that Mr Saturnin took a rather unconventional approach to our side of the task. I was quite scandalised to see such a display of unprofessionalism in a member of my profession.”
“Breaking and entering?” Lord Peter inquired, with elevation to both his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth, and his amusement. It was not quite like Bunter to be so punctilious. (...)
“If you wish to call it that,” Bunter replied, a perfect façade of stolidity. “That aspect of our little adventure is not what I found so scandalous, my lord. To be perfectly frank, the cabin in question is so poorly protected against such an occurrence that it involved very little breaking at all. (...)”
“Let’s call it entering, then,” Lord Peter grinned. “Though you are displaying a rather scandalising degree of technical-mindedness yourself.”
“What was so scandalising about the proceedings was the manner in which Mr Saturnin ensured the coast would be clear, so to speak.”On a Foreign Office job in the border mountains of pre-war Czechoslovakia, Lord Peter and Bunter received some unexpected local help.

Summary
Inspired by Blood in the Water by JustAShark. Technically a rewrite of it.
Title from Blood // Water by grandson.
An AU, where Grindelwald a year after Secrets of Dumbledore- in order to keep a certain powerful and very dangerous Muggle group not unlike his own happy- sells Theseus out as a British spy. After a period of torture, an unexpected magical incident frees Theseus, but the Auror finds himself a man out of time (and an assumed casualty of the war against Grindelwald) and has to deal with both the third war of his lifetime as well. How will he handle his new time, especially with a new war so close to starting? And how will people in the new time- specifically, Harry Potter and friends- react to this war hero out of time?
Starts in 1933, so mentions Nazis, the Gestapo, SS, and SA, and a certain Austrian painter. -

Summary
Betrayed by her friends and manipulated by Dumbledore, Harry Potter accepts a deal from Death to send her and Tom Riddle back in time to the 1930's. Reborn as children, they are now not only bound by the fragment of his soul, but a shared new reality.
Under the guardianship of an enigmatic Peverell, they are thrust into the treacherous world of pre-world war 2 pure-blood society. As Ariela grapples with her new identity, the trauma of her past, and a powerful new magic she doesn't understand, Marvolo aims to rebuild his power base, not with terror, but with cunning political maneuvering. Forced into a reluctant alliance, they must navigate a return to Hogwarts, the complex web of the Wizengamot and the looming shadow of Gellert Grindelwald, all while contending with the volatile, intimate bond that ties their very souls together. It's a dangerous new beginning where old enemies must learn to be allies, and the lines between light and dark, life and death, blur into a precarious shade of grey.

Summary
In the second part of their story, Thomas and Margaret Shelby find themselves navigating the fragile calm of 1935. With the birth of their daughter, Celia, their world becomes quieter but no less complex. As Europe shifts uneasily and Parliament debates rearmament, Thomas is drawn deeper into political life, caught between the looming shadow of another war and the promises he’s made at home.
Margaret now balances motherhood with a growing awareness that her husband’s ambitions might come at a cost no amount of power can repay. The nursery is filled with softness and lullabies, but outside, speeches grow sharper, allegiances shift, and class lines are redrawn. As old ghosts from the last war stir again, the couple must decide what kind of legacy they’re building for their child, their country, and each other.
Set in the uneasy stillness of the interwar years, this chapter of their love story asks what it truly means to protect the ones you love when the world is already bracing to fall apart again.

Summary
To settle a crushing debt, a disgraced Sicilian noble is forced to give his daughter in marriage to Birmingham's most ruthless businessman.
For Thomas Shelby, it's a calculated move: her name carries old-world power, the kind that still holds sway behind polished doors. She's beautiful, refined, and perfectly placed to play the role of an high-class wife.
But Adelaide Moncada has no intention of being anyone’s ornament.
After leaving everything that reminded her of her family years before, she decided to go on the jazz club stage to survive, using her voice and beauty as a weapon. But she has no intention of bending to the will of any man, least of all Thomas Shelby.
Their marriage begins as an arrangement: cold, contractual, strategic. But in the shadows of London’s underworld, where the Peaky Blinders seek to expand and enemies multiply, she becomes more than an accessory. She becomes useful. Dangerous. Desired.
