Summary
Koko Sawamura left Japan to survive.
Now she’s coming home to live.After years building a life abroad, she’s finally ready to return to Musutafu. To her family. To the friends she left behind. To the hero world that still remembers her name.
But distance doesn’t erase everything.
Not the scars her ex left behind.
Not the guilt of running when she should’ve stayed.
And not the quiet regret of leaving behind the one man who never hurt her, but still haunts her thoughts.Returning means facing her past, her future, and the feeling she tried so hard to erase.

Mulan
Abandoned alone on the mountains to die, Shang taking credit for her wins.

All while becoming the generals favored, she begins to question her homeland, her own feelings and if she even wants to return home.

Summary
Fa Mulan saved China's Imperial Army and was left wounded in the snow to die for it.
The men that she trained with and saved the lives of threw her away for being something she could not control. They called it mercy, a debt repaid. As if leaving her half dead on a frozen mountain top was any better than cutting her head off...
Now bleeding, cold and angry Mulan thought this truly might be her legacy. Failed bride, failed soldier, failed daughter.
But one man saw her for what she truly is; a skilled soldier, a strong warrior, a brilliant women. He knows that she is destined for greatness, next to him, at his side as an equal.
The only person that the Khan of the Huns will ever bow to, his dark Empress, Fa Mulan.

Summary
China and the northern steppe have been bleeding each other dry for generations — one slow border stone at a time, one unanswered treaty at a time, one burial at a time. Shan Yu rides south carrying thirty years of his father's patience and two fresh graves. Hua Mulan rides north in her father's armor, carrying his name like a borrowed life and a country that will not remember her name correctly even if she survives to let it.
Shan Yu is not what they said he was. Neither is Mulan. It takes both of them longer than it should to figure out that this is the most dangerous thing they've learned about each other.
A historically grounded, slow burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance set along the fault lines of Northern Wei China and the Rouran confederation. Rated E for wartime violence, grief, political consequence, moral ambiguity, explicit sexual content and two people taking far too long to admit what everyone else already knows.

Summary
Mulan expected death on the mountain.
Instead, she was left behind.
Betrayed by the men she fought beside and abandoned in the snow, she is prepared to disappear into the cold until she is found by the enemy she was taught to hate.
Shan-Yu does not come to finish the job.
He comes because a warrior who buries an army beneath a mountain does not get discarded like broken armor.
What happens when two people decide to become the monsters their world already believes them to be?

Summary
"Please Gandalf... please don't tell him." She begged, her voice thick with emotion and unshed tears.
Gandalf met her eyes with as forlorn an expression as she'd ever seen on his face. There was such sadness held there at the answer she knew he had to give.
"It would be a promise I cannot keep." He told her as kindly as he possibly could. "I'd rather not keep a father and his child from each other- a King and his heir even less so."
Billa looked away but didn't flinch when a warm, rough hand touched her shoulder offering comfort. She desperately needed it. She was so frightened.
"Did you love him?" She heard him ask. She clung to the sympathy in his voice and nodded as her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Do you still?"
The answer was barely a whisper- as small and secret as the fluttering heartbeat under her shaking hand.
"Yes."
