Filomena Arabella-May Goodbody-Baggins is a robust woman. Known for being a feisty and untamable hobbit of the Shire, not even a company of 13 dwarves are able to control her: not even a hard-headed king. After an ill-received proposal, a few stolen heirlooms, and a mutual exchange of harsh words, Filomena finds herself in the company of an unwilling dwarven king, Thorin Oakenshield. On a quest for adventure and reclamation, Filomena and her cousin, Bilbo, must break free of the silken safety blanket of the Shire and survive in the big world. Of course, it's hard to make it big when a king doesn't like you. Will Filomena and Bilbo make it to the end of the quest? Or will a stubborn-headed king do everything in his power to break the little woman? Will Thorin be able to stay true to his own beliefs and morals? Or will an intoxicatingly fierce hobbit break down his walls? Read to find out ;) NOTE: This work dips heavily into BOTH the films and book and "rewrites" some of the outcomes and character impacts. If you haven't read the book, some scenes will be very different from the film, and the timeline follows the book more closely (AKA, realistic travel time) (This story can also be found on ArchiveOfOurOwn, still written by me)

Pantomime is the first book in the Micah Grey series, out now from Pan Macmillan. Please enjoy a look at the first six chapters here on Wattpad. In a land of lost wonders, the past is stirring once more . . . Gene's life resembles a debutante's dream. Yet she hides a secret that would see her shunned by the nobility. Gene is both male and female. Then she displays unwanted magical abilities - last seen in mysterious beings from an almost-forgotten age. Matters escalate further when her parents plan a devastating betrayal, so she flees home, dressed as a boy. The city beyond contains glowing glass relics from a lost civilization. They call to her, but she wants freedom not mysteries. So, reinvented as 'Micah Grey', Gene joins the circus. As an aerialist, she discovers the joy of flight - but the circus has a dark side. She's also plagued by visions foretelling danger. A storm is howling in from the past, but will she heed its roar? Pantomime by Laura Lam took me to an exotic and detailed world, peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and some I'd never want to cross paths with (Robin Hobb) Pantomime is a fantastical, richly drawn, poignant take on a classic coming-of-age story . . . a vibrant tale told with surety and grace (Leigh Bardugo) Set in a vividly imagined world with wonderful steampunk touches, Pantomime is a fable-like story as beautifully unique as its main character (Malinda Lo) A lyrical, stunningly written debut novel, which set my heart racing with every lift of the trapeze. In Micah we have one of the most original - and likeable - protagonists I've read in a long time. An author to watch, without a doubt (Amy Alward)

Aubrey thought loving Chase was easy. In a town like Ashton, where everyone knows everyone, their story was the kind people envied-childhood sweethearts, perfect on paper, meant to last forever. But perfect isn't always real. Behind closed doors, Aubrey starts to see the cracks no one else can. The way he speaks. The way he looks at her. The way everything feels... wrong. And the worst part? No one believes her. In a place where everyone loves Chase, Aubrey is left questioning everything-him, herself, and what love is supposed to feel like. Because sometimes, the person everyone else trusts is the one breaking you the most.

||||||Deadass this was written in May 2016 and nothing has been edited but I thought it was funny as hell so I'm publishing it now. I might continue it bc it's so freaking funny but honestly iconic. But gd I wrote some manipulative ass characters.||||| You grew up with Mark and Sean. They were your best friends. Mark, the rough, tough orphan. You both bonded with being tough, and loving the same things. Sean, the sensitive one. He was there when you needed him and took care of you when you were sick. Both of these boys were your shoulders to cry on. They were there when anything went wrong. Not seeing them for 10 years, man, they really did change.

You've never understood what's real or did you?

"Don't tell anybody about this." "If you just ignore it, it'll stop." "There's nothing I can do to help you." And so I did everything I was told. I shut up. I put on a brave face. I followed all the rules. But that was the past and it's not who I am anymore. I will be loud. I will be angry. I will tell the truth. Look what you've done. You gave me a story to tell. ----------------- Unfortunately, a true story. DISCLAIMER: This is my side of the story and, with the exception of a few voicemails/text messages/statements from friends, it all comes straight from my memory. As is the case with most PTSD brains, my memory isn't very good so I can't 100% confirm the accuracy of anything, but it is written almost exactly as I remember it. If anyone reading this happens to know something I don't, feel free to let me know. ----------------- Thank you for reading. ----------------- Dedicated to Sketch, and Toto, and Dr. Worm, and Mia, and anyone else (real or imaginary) that I loved, but they hated.

To celebrate finishing college, Solana's dad takes her on a dream caving trip. In the caverns, there's a terrible accident. Her father is killed and no one understands how she got out, not even her. But, she's pretty sure she flew. Convinced she has lost her mind, she meets Van, who can do the same things she can. In her desperate need for the truth she abandons her old life. Her new friends help her understand what is happening to her, and her abilities give her more freedom than she could imagine. But when she starts pushing Van for real answers she finds out he's hiding things. When his authority is questioned he turns on her with a shocking ruthlessness. Her new freedom is a lie. If she really wants to know what's going on she's going to have to escape, and she may be in too deep for him to ever let her go.

~Her insides are rotting. She can smell her own decay~ Amorey has nothing to look forward to. She spends most of her time sleeping, and when she isn't sleeping strange thoughts overtake her. Sometimes she starts to think she isn't real. The only activity that makes her actually want to get out of bed is working in her tomato garden. Still, this isn't enough to rid her of the incredible feelings of isolation and loneliness that are crushing her.

Then, everything changes. Amorey is reunited with her mysterious half-sister Rachel. Amorey can barely remember the anxious and disfigured girl who came to stay with her family one fateful winter, the same winter that her mother died in a tragic fire. Despite this, Amorey finds herself becoming close to Rachel very quickly. She isn't Nita, but it's still nice to have a sister again. It doesn't take long for the two to form an intense bond. When Rachel tells Amorey that she purchased the plot of land where their mother died, and asks Amorey to come to New Hampshire with her, Amorey feels like she finally has the purpose she has been lacking in her life. Amorey loves the idea. This new sisterly bond seems like a dream come true. But dreams distort into maddening nightmares, as the two take up residence deep in the woods of the New Hampshire mountains. As Amorey twists about in the unknown, wondering if she can trust this burnt and angry young woman, something dark settles into her heart. An icky has dug its claws into her. She can feel it killing her. Her insides are rotting. She smell her own decay.

Hi! :] This is a story about two girls who are "in love". This is based on a true story WIP !!

I stared at her in disbelief, torn between trusting her and the undeniable evidence I had seen. "Celine, I saw the pictures. They were pretty clear. You can't just deny it." She leaned closer, her gaze intent on mine, and her fingers traced my cheek. "Atlas, I love you. I would never do anything to hurt you. You have to believe me." Her lips met mine, and before I knew it, we were locked in a passionate kiss.
