《Fandom Imagines and Preferences V》Virginia Blackstone- Amsterdam (c)
Advertisement
Normally you wouldn't recognise a brunette American from across the road, but Ginny stood out like a sore thumb which was impressive with the rest of the tourists around her. You had to do a double take to figure out if you were imagining things, but you certainly couldn't deny that that was the woman you had met back in London. You were people watching from outside of a café, having just ordered a slice of cake and a cup of tea to keep you for the time being until you would be going out for dinner that night.
"Ginny!" You shouted across the street.
She looked around for the source of the shouting, probably assuming she wouldn't find anyone she knew in a foreign country. As soon as her eyes locked on yours, she offered you a gentle smile, crossing the street to reach you.
You knew that she was travelling through Europe but didn't know where exactly she was going, just following the instructions left by her deceased aunt. You had had a trip planned to Amsterdam for your work and it just happened to be when Ginny was there too. You had been given a lovely hotel room on the business account and all you needed to do was meet with a few clients but the rest of the time you were free to do what you wanted, dinner and breakfast being offered at your hotel under their payment. It was a pretty good deal and even better now that you had met with someone you knew.
"What are you doing here?" She smiled, clearly struggling under the weight of her rucksack.
"It's a business trip but I haven't got anything until later in the day, why don't you join me?" You offered.
She did as she was told, sitting down opposite you at the table.

"Peg send you here?" You asked.
She nodded her head.
"Where are you staying?"
Ginny scrunched up her nose. "It's far from a decent place but it'll do until I need to move on."
You took a sip of your tea. "Why don't you come and stay with me? There's only one bed but there's a large sofa you can sleep on if that sounds more appealing than your current predicament."
"Really?" She grinned. "That would be great. Are you sure? You barely even know me."
You shrugged your shoulders. "You're Peg's niece, I'd do anything for her."
Peg had been living with your neighbor Richard a while back and you had had the chance to get to know her. She was a lovely woman and her death was a tragic fate for someone so spirited, but you could only find solace in her life living on through her letters she had given to her niece.
"I really appreciate it," she smiled. "I feel so lost but honestly I feel as though I've found part of myself, I never knew I didn't have in following Peg's trail."
"I'm sure there is a lot more to find."

The Traveller from Afar
Lucas didn't know what he wanted, but it certainly wasn’t to get dragged into the middle of a another world. Too bad for him the universe had different plans and now he has to deal with the consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least it isn't all bad, he gets to finally make use of those cooking lessons he was dragged into. Chapters 1-4 are kind of like a prologue, they are self contained and only give some background information for the rest of the story.*********This is my first attempt trying to write any type of longer form story so I have no idea if any thing I produce will be readable, I've tried to make sure I have a decent level of grammar and there are no spelling mistakes, but if you do find any please let me know. I am also from the home of tea and crumpets (the uk) so if there are some u's and s's your not used to seeing thats probably it. Uh I dont really know what else to put in a story description so just give it a shot and let me know what you think, any pointers would be greatly appeciated.

The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
