[CLOSED] Gather for the Astania Community's 2025 awards! For the third year in a row, we're in search of beautiful stories and poetry to illuminate even the darkest of winter nights. No matter how big or small, each story is needed to brighten up our night sky. If you're interested in finding the way to reads and rewards, venture forth with us into the unknown... Welcome to the Moonlight Trove.

Godwyn is slain. The Elden Ring is broken. Queen Marika is nowhere to be found. Left on their own, Queen Marika's offspring struggle to come together for the sake of the Lands-Between. Each has their own understanding of Marika's last wishes and must decide whether they should adhere to them or follow their own ambitions. Heavily drawing upon alchemy to fill in the lore, this Elden Ring Fanfiction takes the viewpoints of the mightiest demigods to explore one possibility of many for how the events of the Shattering could have transpired.

Greed and ambition have nearly driven the kingdom of Aefither into ruin. Lily, one of Aefither's faithful guardians has suffered greatly. Imprisoned and punished for a crime she never committed, Lily sets off a series of events that threatens to destroy everyone. Aurnia is haunted by the promises she could never fulfill. A simple mission to find a reclusive goddess could be the answer to all her problems, there's just one problem. Old grudges have a habit of coming back to bite you. Orion is lost. Raised by two bickering aunts he's never had much time to figure out what he wants. Without much of a purpose he spends his time trying to live up to expectations, then one mistake catapults him into the center of an ancient dispute. As their paths begin to merge, both Orion and Aurnia begin to realise just how close they are walking the line between destruction and salvation.

Leah has a friend who she wishes would go away. The only issue? Amelia is a ghost. But just when the girls think it cannot get any worse, Leah is chosen to join her classmates on a summer trip to visit Mirthstone. The town has recently reopened their illustrious Nightingale Theatre and plans to stage a production whose grand opening was derailed by a terrible accident. But upon arriving in Mirthstone, Leah and Amelia realise that there's a lot more to the Nightingale Theatre that meets the eye. Who is that strange voice calling out to them from within the threatre's walls? And what should they make of its cryptic warnings, one of which is "do not trust the puppet's song." Time is ticking and with less then a month before the show begins, two girls have to put their differences aside to figure out if there's any merit to the warnings they've been given. My lovely cover was made by the wonderful @raizelrose3 !
