They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else. (A collection of short related chapters) "I KNEW it! I knew you had the hots for her!" "I've seen cooked fish before. That's charcoal. I'm sorry that you're culinarily disabled." "And you're surprised that your son gets a heart attack when you leave your arm in the living room." "I don't care! We're watching the entire fourth season of Kunoichi Diaries and you're going to learn whether you like it or not!" :: Cover By: Cosmo_Cat924

There was little known about Pierce Holmes. Even his closest friends at Hogwarts knew little about him and that's the way he wanted to keep it. The known facts about the Ravenclaw's home life was his mother was a writer and his father wasn't in the picture much. While his father didn't play a big role in his life, Pierce refused to keep his mother's maiden name. While his home life seemed dysfunctional, Pierce was a rather happy student at Hogwarts. He enjoyed his classes and was friendly to other students. One student in particular caught his eye from the beginning, but not for her looks, but her intelligence. He admired Hermione Granger, because she wasn't afraid to be smart unlike some girls he came across in school, who enjoyed pretending they were scatterbrained. He's thought about the conversations he would like to have with her, but can't bring himself to talk to her. But all that changes when fourth year arrives and the Tri-Wizard Tournament comes to Hogwarts. Pierce finds himself with no choice but to talk to the Gryffindor girl. However, things don't go according to plan, especially when Sherlock Holmes is involved in the scenario.

He decides it's time to do something about it and, with the help of the Shinobi Council, he leaves the Leaf behind. And defenseless. ======================== MWAHAHA!!! Hi. Anyways, this story idea came from @Writers_Mom and we were cackling our heads off just thinking about it! So yeah, this is an AU, as you can tell, and very little will be related to Canon. Disclaimer!!! I don't own Naruto or any other things that might show up unless I say otherwise, okay? Good. Enjoy!

Epic, mind-bending, and as sweet as it is vicious, Lani Lenore’s Nevermor is a dark fantasy based on the legend of Peter Pan, geared toward a more mature audience. Recommended for 16+ – In 1873, 15-year-old Wren longs to escape her life in a London orphanage. Prompted by a world she sees in a dream, Wren begins to believe in a world called Nevermor, an island at the edge of the universe, where all dreams go. She discovers the Rifter, a wild and volatile but handsome boy, who guards the realm of dreams from terrifying nightmare creatures. Wren begins to desire her own life there – to escape with her brothers without fearing that anyone will separate them. Wren falls in love with Nevermor – and with the Rifter – and yet the more she learns of a conflict between the Rifter and a wicked, black-hearted man called the Scourge, the more she comes to realize that Nevermor is not a place for children.

It's love at first sight for the group's leader G-Dragon and Jin, while Taeyang and Daesung both have their sights set on her best friend, Maya. T.O.P is the only one that saw Maya bribe the waiter at restaurant into giving her their R.S.V.P booth, and immediately dislikes her. But Jin and GD's connection is undeniable, and forces them together all week. The longer they are around each other the more they grate on each other's nerves! She's too loud, she's domineering, she swears...he could go on and on. He's presumptuous, he's naive, he thinks he's cultured...she wished that he would just boom shakalaka away forever. But a lot can change in a week, and the two begin to realize that they have a lot in common, and what starts off as an innocent fling soon becomes something that gives Maya feelings she had never felt before, and for T.O.P it becomes something that both threatens his image as a Korean idol, and gives him the sort of inspiration he had always been waiting for. ***This beautiful cover was made for me by @MariaFA!***

It is likely that you have heard the stories of a wonderful land in another world, a land called Narnia. And if you have, you have probably also heard of the four Pevensies, who discovered the land of Narnia by stumbling through a wardrobe. You would have read of the wonderful adventures they had in there, and how they became great kings and queens of Narnia, legendary rulers of their own country. But you have not heard of me, and my part in those same adventures. For my name is Rose, and I was merely a young girl lost in the turmoil of the second World War. But I also found that country, and through my actions, I affected the entire course of Narnian history. My story is one of love and beauty, of evil and the poison of hate, of adventures and journeys into the unkown, of the love of two rulers, of great battles and golden eras of peace. My story is one of unrequited love and frustration, of friendship and great sacrifice, and of many choices one is forced to make throughout life, whether they choose right or wrong. And this is where it begins. ~Part ONE of THREE~
