Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi

Emad_Sadiq
In a world torn by war, greed, and fractured loyalties, one man rises from humble beginnings to become a beacon of faith, justice, and unity. Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi is a sweeping historical novel that brings to life the legendary Muslim warrior who changed the course of history during the tumultuous times of the Crusades . Born in the small town of Tikrit, young Yusuf ibn Ayyub grows up under the guidance of his noble father and courageous uncle, Shirkuh. Trained in the art of warfare but grounded in the values of compassion and humility, he soon proves himself as a wise and brave leader. As he ascends the ranks in the service of Nur ad-Din Zangi, he is sent to Egypt—a land crippled by internal strife and the declining Fatimid dynasty. Through strategic brilliance and unshakeable resolve, he becomes the Sultan of Egypt, uniting it under Sunni Islam and beginning a new era of Ayyubid rule. But Salahuddin’s vision is far greater than power—it is justice for the oppressed and the liberation of Jerusalem, the heart of the Muslim world. As the Crusader kingdoms tighten their grip on the Holy Land, he embarks on a relentless campaign to unite the fractured Muslim states of Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. Despite betrayal, political intrigue, and the personal cost of war, Salahuddin remains steadfast in his mission. The novel climaxes with the historic Battle of Hattin in 1187, where Salahuddin leads a victorious army against the Crusaders and reclaims Jerusalem. Unlike his enemies, he grants amnesty, offers safe passage to civilians, and ensures the sanctity of holy places—earning him admiration across both the Muslim and Christian worlds. Interwoven with his military campaigns are the personal stories of loyal soldiers, spiritual advisors, and even conflicted Crusaders who witness the Sultan's mercy and wisdom. Through them, we see the man behind the legend—a leader whose strength lay not only in his sword but in his unwavering moral compass. As his health declines, Salahuddin gives away his fortune, dies with barely enough for a proper burial, and leaves behind a legacy not of wealth or empire, but of honor, unity, and faith. Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi is not just a tale of conquest—it's the story of a man who conquered hearts.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)

[MCU x HP] Reborn as Hermione: Spamming the Killing Curse!

Waking up in a new body is disorienting. Waking up as Hermione Granger—the brightest witch of her age—is a surprise. But realizing you aren't in Hogwarts, but standing in the middle of Tony Stark's New York? Complete panic. Fortunately, "Hermione" isn't empty-handed. Bound to a mysterious Grimoire that allows her to jump between the Wizarding World and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she realizes one absolute truth: playing the good girl is for losers. Why bother with complex science and superhero morals when the Unforgivable Curses exist? Avada Kedavra solves 99% of her problems. For the remaining 1%, there's Imperio. Tony Stark: "J.A.R.V.I.S., it's time to design the Anti-Wizard Armor." Hermione: (smirks) "You mean the scrap metal that breaks the second you put it on?" Hulk: "HULK SMASH!" Hermione: (raises wand) "Shut it, green guy, or I'll cast Expelliarmus on your pants!" The Ancient One: "You are an anomaly. A sorcerer who does not belong on this timeline..." Hermione: "Let me correct you, baldy. I am a Wizard." Nick Fury: (eye twitching) "Where exactly are you from?" Hermione: (adjusts robes innocently) "Me? I'm just a simple exchange student from Hogwarts." Armed with unparalleled acting skills, a ruthless inner demon, and a wand that flashes green way too often, the MCU is about to learn why you never mess with a Dark Witch in sheep's clothing. [Features] World Hopping: Seamlessly travel between HP & MCU! Two-Faced MC: Innocent schoolgirl on the outside, ruthless Dark Lord on the inside. Magic vs. Tech: Watch science try (and fail) to explain Unforgivable Curses. Elite Banter: Sarcastic, unapologetic, and totally overpowered.
