《Fandom Imagines and Preferences V》Polly Emmerson- Hero (c)
Advertisement
Jeff, the colleague of your girlfriend, Polly, had phoned you, asking you to go to the hospital to pick up Polly. Seen as she worked at the hospital as a paramedic, that part wasn't weird, but you had never had to pick her up from work without it previously being planned between you.
When you arrived, Jeff told you that a little girl that they had been working on had passed away, and Polly had taken it badly. As she entered the car, she was silent, unlike her bubbly and talkative self and you could see the marks from the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. You turned off your car, needing to talk to her before driving her home as this was unlike her. Polly did become attached to patients and it would upset her if anything happened to them, which was somewhat common, but she never ended up in such a state.
"You okay, darling?" You smiled softly, not wanting to pry but knowing that she was a chatty woman and maybe talking it through was needed.
"No," she whispered. "I could have saved her. I should have saved her."
You gave her a sympathetic smile. In the phone call, Jeff had told you that the girl was already too far gone for either of them to do anything to safe her. Even though Polly would make it seem otherwise, she couldn't have done anything to save her, no matter how much she wanted to.
"You know that isn't true," you told her. "Sometimes things happen that you can't control and that can be really hard to accept. You can't always be the hero."
She sniffled a bit, trying to control her tears but a couple did escape from her eyes, trickling down her cheeks.

"I wanted to do more. I wish I could have done more," she croaked through the tears.
"I know," you said softly.
You wrapped your arms around her, the best you could due to being sat in a car, but it was a gesture that she needed.
"I love you Polly and you did everything you could to save her, but you're not a superhero, you can't save everyone and things don't always work out how we want them to," you assured her.
She nodded her head, wiping her eyes on the back of her hand.
"I love you too," she whispered.
"Let's get you home," you smiled before turning your car key in the ignition.

Fortress Seven
Two thousand years ago, a nameless hero sacrificed himself to save the world. With his sacrifice came a world filled with Orbs – powerful naturally occurring sources of magic. His seven companions, the seven fortresses, returned to this changed world, splitting it into seven kingdoms and changing it forever. Exactly two millennia after the incident, the world remains heavily unchanged – and a mysterious boy is found in the deepest depths of the Wildlands. Quickly learning the rules of the world and more about himself – will the real truth be revealed, or will the peace of the land continue for another two thousand years in stagnation? Inspired by Japanese light novels such as Overlord, Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, and Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Fortress Seven is both a mixture of a Fantasy Adventure and Underdog novel that not only brings about the development of its characters but the development of an entire nation.

LitRPG. Full Blurb: Dying while trying to save a young girl's life during a store robbery, Jeremiah, a middle-aged former soldier who fought hard to find peace and happiness in the wake of the aftermath of a bloody and universal-scale war, finds himself the victim of a suspect paperwork mix up in the afterlife. Told that he won't be able to be reunited with his wife and daughters even after death, at least until the issue is resolved, he is given the chance to enter the litRPG world of Arden to pass his time. Having found solace in the full-dive reality games of the future, Jeremiah reluctantly agrees, but he soon finds that this world is no game. Born with a low Luck stat, our hero is thrust into the middle of the reality spanning machinations of an outer god-like entity known only as The Corruptor.

Determined to find the same peace he once did in his birth universe, Jeremiah and his family, both newly given as he's born into Arden and freely chosen as he fights his way through it, will struggle against dragons, demons, and Fate herself--along with much worse entities--to claim a lasting happiness of their own.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.
