    This is my interpretation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a massive change and retelling (This is how I would look at a world where Marvel has all the rights to their biggest characters). The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) always has the Avengers then Spider-Man joined yet the X-Men and the Fantastic Four are missing in the spotlight in the earliest stages of the cinematic universe. It was actually the greatest blessing in disguise. Had it not been for Marvel not using their C-List and B-List characters, they would've become the worst movie franchise like with the DCEU (DC Extended Universe). Make sure to follow me because this is my biggest project here on Wattpad.

    Based in the tradition that a woman plays Peter Pan, that helped me think through my Gender. Since an "Actess" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Twigger Waning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that calls Indigenous People "Red." I have thoughts

    Love can melt even the coldest crown. When a black caravan arrives at the abandoned manor on Crescent Drive, curious Miles only expects a mystery-maybe even a friend. Instead, he finds Hans: a boy with silver eyes, a secret past, and a smile that feels like stepping into sunlight. Their bond grows from shy hand-holding to stolen nights beneath the stars, sealed with a promise and a golden horn said to "find warmth in the deepest winter." Then an ancient star-queen wakes. Seraphina, spirit of a shattered Spire and maker of the first snow, has one plan: find a mortal vessel, forge a crown of ice, and freeze the heavens themselves. Hans, aching to be worthy of the family that cast him out, is the perfect prince of winter. With a spell of glass and frost, she twists his heart away from Miles. Armed with only a stubborn lantern, a talking wolf, a fox with sharp advice, and his own relentless love, Miles sets out across a cursed winter to bring Hans home before the next full moon-before the freeze becomes forever.

    🌹 ROSEBOUND A Sapphic Beauty-and-the-Beast Retelling She traded her freedom to save her father. She didn't expect to fall for the monster who stole her away. When Ainslie is taken to the mountain fastness as payment for an old debt, she expects cruelty. She expects teeth, claws, darkness. What she finds instead is Kiernan- the cursed Huntress bound to transform into a Beast each night, a woman made of winter and secrets, a protector who has forgotten how to be anything but alone. The mountain wants Ainslie. The curse wants blood. And the last black petal on Kiernan's enchanted rose is already trembling. But the Beast does not harm Ainslie. She shields her. Hunts for her. Watches her with a hunger that has nothing to do with teeth. And when Ainslie touches her- the curse shudders. Breaks. Changes. As the villagers prepare to destroy the Beast, Ainslie must decide: Will she flee back to the life she lost... or risk everything to save the woman she has come to love? A sapphic romantasy filled with yearning, winter storms, cursemark tension, slow-burn desire, and a love powerful enough to change the shape of a monster. Perfect for fans of Thorn, For the Wolf, and sapphic Fairy Tale retellings.

    Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @-deeisdead- ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER

    Good morning, I'm Kalliope Aoidós (yes, spelled like this: Καλλιόπη Ἀοιδός... pretty impressive, right?), Technical Account Manager at a company in... well, I'm sure you don't really need my CV for this. Let's try again. Hey, I'm Kalliope Aoidós, and I've got a little problem. Okay, more like an incurable, family-heritage problem. Technically, it's genetic-something my family has been conveniently passing down for centuries. One of my great-great-great-great-grandparents thought it was totally appropriate to insult his muse, calling her a "good-for-nothing" and a "sellout." How charming, right? Too bad that muse was THE Muse after whom I'm named. Apparently, she's not exactly the warm and fuzzy type. So why on earth do I have the honor of carrying the name of the one who cursed my entire family tree? Oh, that was my grandmother's brilliant idea. In a way, they "sacrificed" me to her by giving me her name, hoping it would change her mind about the curse. Spoiler alert: It didn't. So here I am, just like hundreds of my ancestors, stuck in the same lovely swamp. I'm a Book Jumper or, as my grandmother (who has a flair for dramatic epithets) likes to call me, a βιβλιοποδητής, which basically means "walker of books." And these are my stories. Or, more accurately, my delightful misadventures. Copyright 2025 AnemoneMarino. All Rights Reserved.

    In a cataclysmic twist on Arcane's explosive finale, Jinx's grief-fueled rocket-powered by unstable Hextech-rips open a rift in space-time, hurling the blue-haired Zaunite prodigy from the steampunk undercity of Piltover-Zaun into a neon-drenched, futuristic Seoul of 2047. Here, K-pop stardom isn't just glamour and choreography; it's a frontline war against soul-stealing demons disguised as viral idols. Jinx crash-lands into the world of K-Pop Demon Hunters, a reimagined tale where the all-girl group Huntr/x (Rumi, Mira, and Zoey) battles the demonic boy band Saja Boys, orchestrated by the ancient demon king Gwi-Ma. As Jinx grapples with her survivor's guilt and explosive PTSD, she allies with the fierce, enigmatic leader Rumi Kang-a sword-wielding K-pop sensation with a hidden vulnerability. Their worlds collide in a whirlwind of high-stakes demon hunts, scandalous paparazzi chases, and forbidden sparks, forging a slow-burn lesbian romance amid the chaos of fame, betrayal, and interdimensional rifts. This Isekai retelling blends Arcane's raw emotional turmoil with K-Pop Demon Hunters' rhythmic battles, exploring themes of found family, redemption, and the power of harmony over hexes.
