Basque Dominion's overtake of Eurasia.

The Beltzoak, beings so advanced they wield quantum paradoxes as weapons, encounter an object that shouldn't be a threat. A crude, trembling disc-like something out of a 1950s sci-fi myth-floats before them, untouched by singularities, mocking their power. What follows is not a battle, but a lesson: they were never the predators. They were the prey.

...There was a physical anime world that you could enter into? You could push through the barrier and be transformed into an anime character. Time there is much like time in Narnia, which grants the very happy fan years of play time in their favorite anime or manga. The main character of this story discovers exactly that, and is transported into the world of Hetalia. (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY ANIME OR OTHER SHOWS REFERENCED IN THIS STORY.

In a cloistered 16th-century theological symposium, Father Hernando Ruiz delivers a fiery monologue declaring that logic and analytical reasoning are not enemies of faith but its highest expression. Proposing a new doctrine-Analytical Theology-he demands that rational thought be enshrined as sacred duty, framing irrationality as heresy. In this moment, the seeds of a cold, intellectual dominion are sown.

A father and his three sons go on a hike in a particularly dangerous valley in the Pyrenees. The middle-child gradually asks more and more questions about their village's history, the valley's name and why the place is said to be cursed. When he realizes that people have been disappearing in strange circumstances in this valley, he wonders if they'll safely make it home that night... ***** "Harana" is the Gascon and Basque word for "valley".

Oihane Is a struggling artist who works as a waitress and bartender at her godfather's Basque restaurant in Bilbao's touristic center. She understands doing what's necessary to get ahead and escape her past, but some things she just can't escape. And other things she runs right into without thinking.

Luxe Cor Amor knew she wasn't like anyone else, and bright red hair and baby blue eyes were hardly the tip of the iceberg. She had lost her family and some of her memory. She lived on the streets. She lived longer than she should've. And for some reason, when she really willed something to happen, it usually would. So when she steals food from what she thinks to be just another restaurant, she gets herself into something she never expected. She mets three men; Lovino, Feliciano and Antonio, who accept her into their home. Of course, she has no idea they're countries. But, can they keep this from her for very long? And what about the other countries she mets and connects with? Things turn especially strange when she recognises a few nations and they recognize her. Basque seems suspicious of her, too... Where exactly did Luxe come from, and where will she wind up? (Updated Sundays. I do not own Hetalia.)

In 1569, Inquisitor Francisco de Albornoz reflects on the fall of Seville's heretics, finding himself unsettled by the clarity of their arguments. He questions the plausibility of sacred teachings, particularly the rebellion of angels against omnipotence, and proposes a shift toward a faith rooted in reason rather than myth. Francisco's letter marks the beginning of an ideological transformation within the Inquisition, as doubt gives way to a pursuit of unshakable truth.

How he proposed. How he fell in love. How they met.

On her escape into France, her infant son is the victim of a callous border guard but she and her unborn daughter are saved by an unknown assassin; both actions echoing past and future violence and vengeance. The trauma sends the unborn child's mind deep into the past where a horrible crime against her ancestors in prehistoric times hints at the genesis of otherwise inexplicable hatred and violence that have often re-surfaced down through the centuries. Back in Bayonne, Maria buries her infant son in a world of self-recriminations. It is only through communion with her unborn child and a new friend that she begins to face life again, but unaware of just how dangerous the birth of her new child may turn out to be.
