    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

    🌹 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.

    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.

    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.

    A retelling/reimagining of Poppy Playtime based on the events of the main video game (so far). The story follows a young adult man in his mid-to-late 20's by the name of Cameron Wallace, who interned at the Playtime Co. toy factory over a decade ago as a teenager due to his father, Patrick "PW" Wallace, working there as well. After the mysterious disappearance of the staff just days after he and his father left, Cameron receives a lead over a decade later that his former co-workers may still be alive but trapped within the factory. Following the clues left to him, Cameron returns to the abandoned Playtime Co. factory once more to see if he can solve the mystery of what happened on August 8th, 1995, as well as what was going on within the factory that led to his father's suicide years after their departure from Playtime. (This story, like the original game, may describe unsettling topics. Take caution while reading.)

    Three gods. One prophecy. A bond destined to break. Before they ruled the heavens, before they were etched into mortal myth, they were simply Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon-three souls clinging to each other in a realm too vast to hold them. But love between gods is not without consequence. And when a divine child speaks a truth too painful to hold, their world begins to unravel. This is not a tale of heroes. It's the story of what came before the fall.

    "Hey hench-human, what's up with the serious face?" "...I think Eliza recognized me..." "What kinda nonsense is that? She's a ghost and you're from another world." At first, Kayra thinks she's caught up in a strange dream. But with barely enough time to breathe, she's forced to accept a harsh reality- she's somehow been isekai-ed to a "Twisted Wonderland". And on top of that, stuck in a school of mages while being the only one who can't use it. While she struggles to survive Overblots & other obstacles, odd things are happening in the sidelines. Clues hinting at something more. Does it have something to do with the female voice she heard as she was going through the mirror? Perhaps Kayra's connection to Twisted Wonderland might not be as non-existent as she thinks...

    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.

In the world of Never After, apat na buhay ang nagtatagpo, where love is as dangerous as power and secrets weigh heavier than crowns.

In Never After, love is messy, loyalty is tested, at ang pinakamalaking plot twist? No one gets their fairytale... without a little scandal. - Love, Divamother Woongki

Sir Lancelot, his faithful First Knight. Guinevere, Arthur's promised bride. Garreth, her best friend and cousin, the son of Merlin (Myrddin), the great wizard. It sounds just like the Arthurian Legend, doesn't it? But... What if everything happened differently? What if the young Princess Guinevere was not so keen on marrying Prince Arthur, whom she met... when he came for a week-long sightseeing tour to her father's kingdom accompanied by dashing Sir Lancelot? What if she was... dressed as a knight, pretending to be a bodyguard hired for the visitors? And... What if it was 'a she', who was destined to pull the sword from the stone and thus unite the kingdoms? This is my version, a humorous retelling of the famous legend, a medieval fantasy- coming of age- romantic comedy. *This story is purposely historically innacurate, set in some parallel, fantastical Britain that is different from what it had really been in the past, even though I'm using real locations, historically confirmed battles, and the Saxons as enemies of my legendary King Arthur.
