Is the clown the fool of the story, or are you? After all, the clown knows it's an act, but the audience is so lost in it that they tend to forget. Alfred had lived a long life. He'd learned a lot in it. That England was easy to gaslight if you knew what you were doing. France would back away from any show of force. Germany could ignore a bumbling idiot even as the evidence piled up just because he wasn't very good with people. Poland saw everything and read people like a book. Prussia would keep his mouth shut if you gave him enough liquor or made him obedient. Russia would turn a blind eye if you turned one to him. China never trusted anyone even if there was evidence of the contrary. His mother's revenge would play out, and it would make him the happiest man in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hetalia:Axis Powers. No ships in this book! If there is it's in the past! Mostly sibling bonding. America can shapeshift and is non-binary (he/him female titles).

On the shores of western Ireland, in a drab town - a young, day-dreaming waitress hides her scars. Chained to a life of caring for an alcoholic and abusive father, twenty-year-old Clara paints herself pretty lies of days when things might just get better. But, they don't...they get exponentially worse. Death. Her death. After a run in with a senile old man who foreshadows her death, Clara is faced with her greatest reality check yet. The Faerie are real. The monsters that drove her father to drink are real. Tír na nÔg is no bedtime story, it's her purgatory. Alive and lost in the unveiled and dangerous Fae world, Clara comes face-to-face with the Spirit of the Wild - Naisi, a crownless King broken by a shadow that's corrupting the Seelie reality. With the balance of nature upturned it's not only the Fae who are at risk. As above so below. And Clara must fight every prejudice to save a life, and in doing so she might just find her reason for living. ***************** Inspired by my fanfiction series of the same title. This is a re-telling based on the origins of 'To Live Again' and my love of fairytales - especially Beauty & the Beast and Irish folklore. For original fans of my fan work I can assure that there will be both familiar faces but entirely uncharted worlds. It's definitely not the same story but the characters are a little flicker of their origins. ***Beautiful Cover Design by the lovely @Stars_Alight*** Copyright 2020

A WATTPAD FEATURED BOOK! ❧ ORIGINAL FAN FICTION DRAFT FOR "HEIR". The Twilight of the Gods is an epic woven with fragile and complex threads of truth, half-truths, lies, and lies of omission. One thread belongs to thirteen-year old Cecilia, a troubled girl whose anger is growing and expanding, becoming a force.  As the infinite energy of the Tesseract rains down in Midgard, she receives a visit from society's most disreputable gentleman, Loki of Asgard, who convinces the lost, lonely, "Raven" to pledge her loyalty to him.  While Cecilia struggles to make sense of her new life, Loki challenges her power to reach new levels: to develop her telekinesis, astral projection, learn her emotions and to experience true love against a backdrop of war, natural disaster, reckless gods and the impermanence of life itself. As Cecilia's inner and outer worlds are transformed, will she reach down to find answers, and the strength to remain alive? ❧ Copyright © Marvel Comics & Marvel Studios Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio Cover © Surviving_Dreams YouTube Trailer © DrAnimeSherlockWolf
