An exiled princess, a dying general, and a betrayal that shatters the one alliance that could have saved them—Eirian Soliel refuses to be forgotten, even as the kingdom turns against her. Once the dazzling darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian’s future is stolen when her father remarries and produces a male heir. Cast aside and exiled into a political marriage at the empire’s volatile border, she expects to disappear quietly into irrelevance. Instead, she finds Chenzhou. Quiet, honorable, and already dying from a mysterious poison no one can name, Chenzhou has no interest in court politics—or in the wife forced upon him. But Eirian is not a woman who fades. As she pushes her magic into the land, restoring a dying estate, she begins to uncover the truth behind his illness—and the enemies gathering around them. It is through Chenzhou that she meets Mingzhe, a trusted figure from the court and one of the few men who moves easily between worlds. What begins as cautious cooperation grows into something rare: a fragile bond of trust between three people navigating power, loyalty, and survival in a court that has already discarded them. Together, they begin to rebuild—strengthening the borderlands, stabilizing Chenzhou’s condition, and quietly resisting the forces working against them. But the deeper Eirian digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Chenzhou’s illness is no accident. It is the foundation of a long-buried conspiracy within the powerful Yang family—one designed to reshape the empire itself. And Mingzhe, unknowingly entangled through years of quiet influence and misplaced trust, stands at the center of it. When that truth comes to light, the bond between them fractures. What began as loyalty becomes betrayal—not born of malice, but of manipulation—and its consequences threaten to destroy everything they have built. With war rising at the borders and treachery rooted deep within the court, Eirian and Chenzhou must decide whether trust can be rebuilt—or if survival demands something colder. Because the greatest danger is no longer the poison slowly killing her husband. It’s the truth that might finish what it started.

To be fair, Madara realizes his mistakes in the end. And not in his final seconds, to his credit. About ten minutes before. (a.k.a Madara's got this thing called the Rinnegan and Kaguya isn't going to see him coming this time around.) (a.K.a Also, he's been in love with that asshole for YEARS, but he's less confident about working that out than he is about saving the world from the Mother of Chakra.) (A.K.A Hashirama would like them to get their heads out of their asses so he can enjoy their wedding before he dies....and he will make them if they keep being stubborn. JUST WATCH HIM.) Naruto Fanfiction Main Pairing: Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Madara

This is the time: On the edge of peace following the Great War. This is what: A string of resurrections, bodies returned to service against their will. This is who: Iruka and Naruto. Iruka, who must now carry out a family legacy that could change the fate of the village, and Naruto, who must choose between protecting those he loves and protecting the village. This is why: The true reach of Kaguya's machinations and the loyalty of Danzo's followers to a dead dream. This is how: An oath from long before the Warring Clans Era and a clan who's loyalty goes beyond death itself. (a.k.a Iruka would like everyone to stop being stupid, but if they won't do it willingly, he'll make them. If only so he can have some uninterrupted alone time with Kakashi....preferably naked.) (a.K.a Kakashi is confused that he's not the pervert this time?!?) (A.K.A Naruto and Sasuke are absolutely going to argue themselves right into marriage.) Naruto Fanfiction Main Pairing: Hatake Kakashi/Umino Iruka, Uzumaki Naruto/Uchiha Sasuke

The war is over—but the scars are fresh. A brutal ten-year civil war has left humankind and Earth exhausted. Fintan, the only undefeated Captain of the war and a hero of the losing side, is offered a poisoned olive branch: command of the UES Loss, a patchwork starship cobbled together from the wreckage of fallen fleets. Her crew? A volatile mix of war-weary veterans, bitter enemies, and unwilling allies drawn from all sides of the conflict-winners, losers, and those who stayed neutral. Their mission: to venture beyond the Light Wall, a massive man-made wall of light shields that surround the solar system to protect it from the other occupants of the universe. It’s been a hundred years since the last Earth ship crossed the light wall, the only remembered boundary between known space and the forgotten. But what beings as a desperate bid for redemption soon becomes a pulse-pounding journey through uncharted galaxies, ancient alien ruins, cosmic threats, and long-buried secrets that could rewrite humanity’s place in the universe. Along the way, tensions simmer, loyalties are tested, and unexpected romances spark amidst the chaos. For Fintan and her crew, survival isn’t guaranteed-but the chance to shape a new future is. If they can learn to trust each other, they might just become the legends the galaxy never saw coming. (I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com)
