Quentin spent an entire semester trying to destroy The Beast - a malevolent being who wants him dead.

Todd, the idolizing, partying, fun and hardly seen character wasn't supposed to be at brakebills. He wasn't supposed to interact with Julia, Quintin, Margo,Eliot, penny, kady, josh or Alice. So why did that change in timeline 40, Why is he here.

It's Victoria Meadows' first day at Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, while there, she meets and befriends Erin Coldwater, sister of Quentin, who catches Victoria's eye (and unknowingly, her heart), she must dodge the unwanted affection of Erin's crush and Quentin's ally, Eliot Waugh, or so she thinks she does. Can she learn to control her powers, or will they be the downfall of Brakebills? Read about the friendships, romances and heart-wrenching betrayal in the story, Lost Within The Magic of Love.

What happens in Salem, stays in Salem. When Julia disappears, Quentin discovers a plan she's made to steal a weapon from the Salem Witch Trials that she thinks can kill the Beast. Q, Alice, and Eliot follow her plans hoping to find her and the weapon before the Beast finds them.

One decision can change everything... Quentin and friends are up against The Beast, again, and they know it. What the gang doesn't know is if they can survive another battle. A prism may be the final piece of ammunition needed to free Fillory; or it could be a weapon already used against them. One choice always leads to another, but did Quentin and friends finally choose correctly?

this is one of the 39 times the world of the magicians has been reset, more specifically the 29th time, however a longer and fuller version of that. ----------------------------------------- This is the story of another group of Magicians and how they live their lives with magic. However they do affect Brakebills and its characters, no matter how small of a role. Please enjoy and read. The first few chapters are really short but they get longer as you go. Hope you enjoy this Magicians fanfic

At Brakebills University magic is real and only the most gifted magicians - like Quentin Coldwater - are granted acceptance. If esoteric school work weren't enough, Quentin has found himself destined to destroy the Beast - a mysterious, evil force that threatens multiple realities. In his quest to find the Beast, Quentin has discovered this is not the first time he has fought the monster. Thanks to a powerful time-spell, this is the 5th time he and his friends have gone head to head against this evil. And he's died every single time. The results of this last battle are - unexpected - in ways Quentin may not be able to survive.

(Not an entry into the #BattletheBeast contest). Penny, in his trips to other worlds, stumbles upon one that houses an opportunity to summon a god. One that is trapped and yearning to break free. One that is, perhaps, willing to lend a helping hand to their cause of killing the Beast. All they have to do is navigate deceptive forests, avoid psychopathic pixies, religious fanatics and maybe do a little dance number, of a sort.

Everyone thinks I'm dead, but in reality I'm just as alive as they are. Well, except for the part where I'm a witch, and powerful one. The Beast took me and tried enslaved me, I escaped but I wasn't in my body, it looked like committed suicide, but I didn't, I'm trying to go back, and the only person that can help me is Quentin. Jinx Marry James has been Quentin's best friend since dippers, well she's a year younger then him but is more intelligent, at least magic wise, she was excepted into Brakebills 2 years before him she has had to keep it a secret from him, it killed her. She also knows that Fillery is real, when Quentin finds out when he's excepted into Brakebills, he is furious and stops talking to her, it killed her even more, he was forced to talk to her again when the Trials started. At the end of them Quentin hooked up with Alice and that starts her depression. To make matters worse she can read minds but is also a physical, so she can read everything Quentin thinks, all he does is think about is Alice. People believe that she committed suicide, but she didn't. Disclaimer I do not own The Magicians
