15-year-old Ori is an average small-town boy. Or so he thought, until a strange circus appears in his backyard. Accepting an acrobat's invitation to join the Cirque de Reverie, he is swept up in a whirlwind of wonder.

This is a collection of short stories, featuring crystals, crows, soccer fields, bloody skies, and more. Most stories will be based off prompts from writing contests across Wattpad, and some may be based off the splinters of my soul and the waltzing of my imagination. These stories will discuss the crystals and crows of humanity - the crystals being the light and optimistic parts of humanity, and the crows being the dark and cynically observant part. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Grab a cup of tea. Or coffee. Or water. Stay hydrated, and enjoy the madness. Beautiful cover by @g_beckford from The @TreasureCommunity - thank you so much!

[ nanowrimo 2019 ] Lynette never asked to be a swan. While her sisters love the grace and beauty the moon and their swan-feather cloaks bestow upon them, Lynette would like nothing more than to be free. But her Maman's grip is too tight to escape, and even if she could, the moon's magic is not willing to let her slip away. Luckily for Lynette, Wylan is willing to trade. His older brother escaped from their abusive father, but he left Wylan behind. So when Wylan spies a swan become a girl cloaked in silver feathers, he doesn't hesitate.

[ an Open Novella Ambassador's Pick 2019, Longlisted in the Open Novella Contest ] [ featured on Fairytale Community's Misc. and Combo Fairytales Inspired/Retellings ] Ever since 15-year-old Annemie saw Antsje Pluk, the fairytale figure who supposedly eats children for dessert, she's known that the witch will come for her. Now that she's no longer a child, the forest doesn't scare her anymore. One night, she sneaks out. But instead of returning safely in the morning, Antsje Pluk curses and captures Annemie, bringing her to a cottage hidden deep in the woods. Girls have been disappearing from their village for years, but Aleta, Annemie's twin sister, won't let her become one of the lost. In order to save her sister, Aleta must face her fears head-on, find a magical flower, confront an evil witch, and break an age-old curse. Luckily, she has the guidance of an old friend, but the other girl is not what she seems, and there are secrets hidden in the woods. Sprinkled with Dutch lore, this retelling of a neglected fairytale is filled with witches, moss maidens, and shape-shifting, but it all comes down to some very human traits: bravery, sacrifice, and most of all, love. cover by @anonymousmlpfan "A lovely little story, full of brilliant fairy-tale descriptions.

Vorma falujából sorra tűnnek el az emberek. Ám az erdő hallgat. Nincsenek holtak a göcsörtös fák közt, nincs vér a nyirkos mohatakarón és nincsenek ködfályolban keringő halálsikolyok sem. Csak egy tó és egy elfeledett történet. Kalena a falu öreg boszorkájának unokája, de ikertestvérével ellentétben régóta nem hisz Rotta mama rémmeséiben. Egyetlen vágya, hogy beilleszkedjen, elfeledje a családját övező titkokat és végre maga mögött hagyhassa a származását. Nagyanyja óva inti őt és nővérét a falu melletti erdőtől, amely időről időre a halálba csalogatja áldozatait. A holdünnep éjszakája után azonban minden megváltozik, Kalenának pedig nem marad választása: ha nem akarja, hogy az otthona miatta még az eddiginél is nagyobb veszélybe sodródjon, be kell merészkednie a rengetegbe és kideríteni, mi történik valójában az eltűntekkel Szokatlanul élőnek tűnő holtak és kíváncsi kísértetek között balszerencséjére ez korántsem olyan egyszerű feladat, mint ahogyan eleinte remélte - még egy halálos, ám kissé magának való jégharcos társaságában sem. A víz mélyén lapuló csontok meséje sötétebb, mint valaha hitte volna. [ 2020. 01. 12. ~ 2022. 11. 27. ] /a borító saját illusztráció/ Hivatásos bétázó: NTReyna
