Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Lara Henderson is Dustin's older sister. She left Hawkins at fourteen to finish high school in another town. Four years later, she has built a quiet and predictable life far from the place she once called home. But everything begins to shift when Dustin's letters start to change. At first, they are long and enthusiastic and full of the usual chaos that only he can create. Then they become shorter and colder, as if he is carrying something too heavy to share. Her mother's phone calls make things worse. The pauses are long and the explanations vague. Will Byers disappeared for days and came back, but no one seems willing to say what actually happened. Jonathan does not respond when she tries to contact him. Joyce sounds exhausted. And Dustin, who always told her everything, suddenly feels miles away. To Lara, Hawkins has always been an ordinary town where nothing extraordinary should ever have happened. But her instinct tells her that something is wrong, and Dustin needs her. That alone is enough. When she returns, the city feels different. Too quiet, too cautious. The Byers' house carries a strange heaviness. Dustin's friends avoid certain topics. And Steve Harrington, who had once been only the popular boy from school, now stands out as someone unexpectedly kind and protective, someone who seems to understand more than he says. Lara knows nothing about portals or creatures. She has no idea what happened while she was gone. What she does know is that Hawkins is not the place she left, and neither is she.

Violetta Swan arrives at Hogwarts with secrets stitched into her very name. To her classmates, she is a transfer from Koldovstoretz; to the Order, she is a gifted ally with a sharp wit and fiercer loyalty. But beneath the surface the daughter of Sirius Black and Hope Swan, her very blood carries both fear and responsibility. Yet when Azkaban claimed her father and war scattered her mother across the ocean, Violetta grew up hidden, her lineage buried beneath forged records and false names. Fred Weasley sees the light in her, even when she feels consumed by darkness. Their bond deepens in stolen moments, laughter against looming war. As the wizarding world hurtles toward chaos, Violetta must choose: will she be defined by the name she has suffered from her entire life, or will she carve out a chance at something good-her own future, her own family, and a love worth fighting for?

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf

"You could have anyone you want, why would you want to be with me?" - Jealous, Eyedress This book follows the story of Gally and y/n (you) on their journey as they fall in love. It blends the storyline of Maze Runner books and movies, straying more towards the movies as I feel like more people have seen them. -Fem y/n with she/her pronouns -I guess explicit language lmao -Chapters are mostly 2000-4000 words This will have no smut (sorry to the people who enjoy spicy reads) as people I know irl have access to this story and I would die. Sorry if this storyline is hard to follow or if anything doesn't make sense I will keep editing it and hopefully write a trilogy or something :) (P.S this is my first ever time literally writing so sorry if its shit)
