Summary
"If you'd like, I can give you a closer look at my altar."
Catherine's continent is proving too small for her ambitions. The first Russian caravel out of Moscow has crossed the ocean and made contact with a faraway empire to the west. When she decides to see Aztec lands with her own eyes and embarks on a diplomatic mission to Tenochtitlan, she discovers a world where gods demand blood and empires rise on it. As she brings that fire back eastwards, it may forever change Russia - and herself.
A dramatic retelling of a Sid Meier's Civilization V campaign, told as a sordid tale of two warmongering leaders and their toxic romance, interspersed with lots of diplomacy, cultural exchange all across the world, kink, and the horrors of war.

Summary
This is by no means any great work of fiction but I had fun writing it and I guess that's what matters right? If you want a ton of tropes, some humour, some spice, a little violence and a bucket load of fluff then hopefully you'll enjoy this... I got carried away and far too excited!

All good boys go to heaven, but bad boys bring heaven to you.
How would their lives have changed if Hermione Granger unexpectedly befriended the snakes during the summer between fifth and sixth year?
A lost boy in need of a family. A lone wolf looking for redemption. A golden girl who shines brightest in the dark.
A tale of life, death and rebirth.
