Darkfairytale Stories

In the heart of an ancient forest, there is a school hidden from the human world-an academy for fae who don't quite belong anywhere else. Mia has always felt different, like something inside her was unfinished... or waiting to wake up. When she is drawn into this secret world of magic, rituals, and dangerous beauty, she discovers that becoming herself may cost more than she ever imagined. Between shimmering friendships, slow-burning love, and secrets buried deep beneath the trees, Mia must learn one truth: in Faerie, nothing is ever purely light-or purely dark. A soft yet haunting fantasy about identity, transformation, and the kind of magic that leaves scars.

He was born a gentleman. He became a scoundrel. And now, he's bound by a curse. After the death of his infant son, Dorian Vale is willing to do anything to save his grieving wife and rewrite destiny. His desperation awakens a dark power older than the mortal world... one that offers help at a terrible price. To protect the people he's already failed, Dorian will make the one bargain he can never take back. A bargain that will deliver him straight into the shadows... and eventually into the path of a girl named Lenora.

This story exists because one reader believed in it first. When @StarSkylight1 imagined a world where power awakens through fear, love, and loss-and asked what happens when magic sleeps instead of burns-Eryx Vale answered. Born into a powerful bloodline, his magic vanished after a childhood accident no one could explain. While others rose, he was left behind-quiet, overlooked, and underestimated. Only one person stayed. Only one person ever stood between him and the world. Years later, when darkness comes for her, Eryx learns the truth of what he is. Some power doesn't shout. Some stars don't burn. They wait.

In a kingdom where only Hearts and Spades remain, a deadly game decides who is worthy to survive. Taken from her village and renamed Spade, a quiet, overlooked girl is forced into a series of enchanted trials designed to entertain the King of Hearts. Beneath silk gowns, glittering halls, and fairy-tale illusions, players fall one by one-each loss carefully planned. As alliances form and secrets surface, Spade begins to realize the game was never meant to be fair... and she may be far more involved than anyone knows. A dark, whimsical fantasy about control, survival, and what happens when the wrong card is underestimated.

With the blood of her village on her hands and nowhere to turn to, Yaga runs to the open arms of the forest, where the water runs black and the trees are haunted by ghosts of the past. Power is a pretty thing - before it consumes you. Go to sleep, children. And watch out for Baba Yaga.

"Impossibly yours," he murmurs, his voice a low confession that trembles against the silence.

Resistance crumbles. And a cruel, twisted game of love begins-one neither can escape. --- Eshaan: "I'll cross oceans for you." Aarya: "Then don't drown yourself in obsession."
