THE FALLEN ONE (TFO)

BrokeN1427
For a thousand years, the Empire of Verdun has ruled in peace and prosperity, rising from the ashes of the Great War to become the strongest force the world has ever known. But history has a way of circling back—and now, something ancient, something long buried, is beginning to stir. Forgotten secrets are resurfacing. Strange forces are gathering in the shadows. And the empire’s golden age may soon come crashing down. In the midst of this looming storm, a boy awakens in a desolate forest—alone, wounded, and with no memory of who he is. He has no name, no past to cling to—only questions that lead to more mysteries. Taken in by strangers, he begins to piece together a world on the brink of change: rulers tightening their grip, unrest brewing in the outer provinces, and whispers of powers that defy even the empire’s might. But the boy is different. Something in him doesn’t belong to this era. Something ancient moves beneath his skin—something the world has forgotten, but will soon remember. As rebellion simmers and old powers reawaken, the nameless boy stands at the heart of it all. His fate, and the fate of Verdun, are bound together. He must uncover the truth of who he is... before the empire’s final hour strikes. One thing is certain—the world of Verdun will never be the same again. And neither will he. {Disclaimer - I've used third party for translation purposes as english is my third language, thank you for understanding.}

Heritage of the North: The Power of Ice and Betrayal

After a brutal showdown nearly costs Voldemort his life, Harry Potter finds himself framed for a devastating attack on Privet Drive that kills countless Muggles. Harry, weak from the encounter, can’t prove his innocence when evidence seems to overwhelmingly condemn him, all engineered by the cunning Lucius Malfoy. Despite Harry’s desperate pleas, the Ministry dismisses his side of the story, labeling him a Dark sympathizer and condemning him to life in Azkaban without even a trial. To make matters worse, Dumbledore and the Order seem to believe he’s truly turned, citing a new prophecy that predicts Harry’s connection to a dark legacy. Locked away in Azkaban, Harry’s bleak future takes an unexpected turn when he realizes his cellmate is none other than Bellatrix Black (formerly Lestrange), once a faithful servant to Voldemort. To his shock, Bellatrix reveals she betrayed Voldemort, feeding Harry information on Death Eater attacks in an attempt to atone for her past sins. Guilt-ridden and broken, she has endured unimaginable torture for her defiance, now left to rot in Azkaban. As they bond over shared betrayal and disillusionment, Harry learns from Bellatrix of an ancient prophecy tied to his heritage — one that foretells his rise as an heir to a power beyond Voldemort’s reach. With her knowledge and guidance, Harry begins to unlock his hidden potential, sparking a determination to escape and reclaim his name. Together, the two unlikely allies plot to defy the forces that wronged them, setting in motion a chain of events that will shake the wizarding world and bring about a reckoning for all who betrayed them.

Out of Position, Into Destiny

Out of Position, Into Destiny In Out of Position, Into Destiny, Femi Adeleye begins as a gifted Nigerian winger with dreams of stardom at Ajax Academy. But when an early position switch forces him to adapt to life as a left-back, Femi must confront his doubts, fears, and the weight of expectation. Under the mentorship of former Dutch legend Lars de Groot and the tactical guidance of Coach Bakker, he begins a difficult transformation—from a flair player into a disciplined, intelligent modern defender. As Ajax U-23 enters the national championship, Femi battles internal rivals like the fiery Josip Van der Berg, and external threats like Elias Rikken, a genius striker from Heerenveen. Each match tests Femi’s resilience and self-belief, especially the dramatic extra-time semifinal win over PSV and the grueling final against Heerenveen, where Ajax clinches victory through grit, strategy, and teamwork. Amid celebrations and growth, Femi faces a bittersweet farewell with Lars, who departs for Barcelona. But just as one chapter closes, another begins. Ajax is selected for the prestigious European Football Federation U-23 Championship in Spain—a tournament featuring the top academies across Europe. Femi’s journey from the sidelines to the spotlight is one of growth, grit, and destiny—proof that even when pushed out of position, true greatness finds its way. Story is completely football based and will rarely deviate from that concept

Fire and Frost

The words from the letter before him hit him hard, and he felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him, probably because it had. He could not believe what had been said in the letter, he could not believe the king would do such a thing, he knew the king was mad, but this? This was an act of pure lunacy, something only someone so depraved and insane could do. That he had done it not to just one person but to all of Brandon’s companions was something that shocked him. It showed just how far gone Aerys was, he was no longer the smiling and charming man of his youth, in his place gods Rickard did not know what he was. As if trying to shake of the fear and the horror or rather trying to confirm it he spoke. “Can you read the letter again Maester Walys?” The maester who had been in Winterfell for as long as Rickard could somewhat remember looked at him sorrowfully and spoke once more. “In the name of his most royal highness King Aerys Targaryen, second of his name King of the Seven Kingdoms, we do hereby announce the death of Brandon Stark heir to Winterfell and son of Lord Rickard Stark. Lord Brandon proved to be treasonous beyond measure and threatened not only the life of our son and heir Prince Rhaegar, but has also been plotting to remove us from our gods given throne. For these crimes, we sentenced Brandon Stark to death by fire. We do hereby request that Lord Rickard Stark come with his children to renew his fealty to the throne, and to show us that he is not a traitor unlike his son.” If you enjoyed this Fanfic and want to read more, please consider supporting me on Patreon for advanced chapters!
