Star-crossed Stories

Star crossed, doomed to fail from the start. Jane Meyers, halfblood Gryffindor, has what her peers would call, the perfect life. Loving parents, a supportive older brother, and a spot on the Gryffindor quidditch team. She grew up alongside her three loyal friends whom she met in her first year, Inez Britt, Nathaniel Bancroft, and Neville Longbottom. But one trip, fall, catch changed everything. Ahead of Jane's fourth year, at the quidditch world cup, she bumps into none other then the self aborbed Draco Malfoy, and instead of rivalry, it dissolves into something dangerous, something terrifying, an unexplainable magnetic pull. (Before you read this, it is not a slow burn. It's a Romeo and Juliet inspired story, so it will move quite quickly into the story just like Romeo and Juliet does, if you've read it of course. There will be other slow burns within the story, just not necessarily between Jane and Draco.)

"True order cannot be built upon a foundation of hidden graves." In the kingdom of Brightmoor, magic is a death sentence, and the Crown's law is iron. Victor Draxos is the ultimate weapon of the regime-cold, disciplined, and fiercely loyal to the system. As the Lord Advisor, his job is to maintain absolute control. But when a necrotic, soul-eating plague known as the Cold Rot begins devouring the provinces, the cracks in the empire start to show. Calypsa is everything Victor is sworn to destroy. A rogue healer living in the shadows, she possesses a rare, forbidden light magic, guarded by her faithful companion, an elemental Ember-Fox named Spark. When she risks everything to save a dying child from the Rot, she inadvertently exposes herself to the worst man possible. Victor arrests her on the spot. But their journey back to the capital takes a deadly turn when a massive sinkhole of shadow swallows their carriage. Trapped deep beneath the earth in a treacherous cavern system, survival forces an impossible truce. To keep them both alive, Calypsa must share her magic, exposing Victor to a profound, living warmth that shatters his frozen worldview. As they claw their way back to the surface, they stumble into a conspiracy far worse than the plague itself: the Crown didn't just fail to stop the Cold Rot. They engineered it. On the run as traitors, the ruthless commander and the defiant rebel must pool their opposing forces-his calculated fire-binding and her wild, untamed light-to tear down the Silent Tower. But in a kingdom powered by stolen souls, can a slow-burning spark survive the ultimate dark?

The Stone of Nessa Two kingdoms. One prophecy. A love neither side will forgive. For three hundred years, the wolves and dragons of Valgard have warred against the vampires and witches of Ravenspire - and neither side has ever come close to ending it. Then the blood moon begins to rise again, and an ancient prophecy stirs: whoever finds their fated mate and claims the Stone of Nessa first will hold the power to erase the other kingdom for good. Gael, alpha prince of Valgard, has never lost anything he wanted - until his kingdom asks him to turn his newfound mate into a weapon. Lyka, princess of Ravenspire, has spent her whole life shielded from the truth by the family who loves her most. When fate binds them together across enemy lines, neither of them is prepared for what it will cost - her family, his crown, or the war itself. As secrets unravel and the mountain guarding the stone tests them both, Gael and Lyka must decide if love can survive what duty demands - or if some bonds are only meant to end in blood.

Inspired by the Netflix 2026 adaptation of Little House on The Prairie. He was a warrior sworn to protect his land; she was a pioneer who finally tasted freedom. Falling in love was their greatest treason. In 1870, Ada Miller and her family arrive in Kansas as Exodusters-Black pioneers seeking refuge from the post-Civil War South and fighting to claim their rights as U.S. citizens. To Ada, this endless prairie is her family's first taste of true freedom. To Little Puma, a hot-headed Osage warrior, her family is just another wave of squatters stealing his people's land. Their meeting is a clash of steel and stubborn pride, sparking a bitter hatred that burns as hot as the summer sun. But as the local town pushes the Osage to the brink of war, these sworn enemies are forced into a tense, secret alliance that ignites into a passionate, dangerous affair. Bound by a shared struggle against a system built to destroy them both, they must choose between the loyalty they owe their people, and an explosive love that could burn the entire prairie to the ground.

Until now, magic has been elemental-fire and lightning, ice and sound. But some power is not wielded. It is spoken. Light of the Broken Tongue draws back the veil on the Fey Kingdom, the living language of Syvareth, and the girl whose birth may change the balance of the world. Through Lumiriel, truths long buried begin to surface-about lost voices, fractured histories, and the price of silence. What became of the four fey who escaped captivity-and what will happen when their stories are finally heard? As the stars shift overhead, the dragons of the Luminous Grove emerge from centuries of isolation. Bound to fate and guided by constellations older than kingdoms, they watch, they wait, and they know more than they are willing to say-especially Altairix, a star dragon whose path is written across the night sky. But far beneath stone and soil, something ancient stirs. An old hunger. A buried evil that remembers the world before peace. If it rises, the fragile alliance between humans, dragons, and fey may shatter completely... or be forged into something stronger than it has ever been. Because there is no force more unifying than a threat that could destroy them all.

Inspired by the Netflix Adaption of "The Little House on the Prairie" Aleda was a settler. He was an Indian. Aleda was a painter. He was a warrior. Aleda was passionate. He was stoic. They couldn't have been any more different, but as time passes in the prairie, so grows their relationship. As Aleda finds herself settled into their new life, her heart does so as well on an unexpected suitor that shouldn't be filling that space. A Little Puma and Xreader/OC fanfic.

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Corvane Ashe is the Collector sent to bury it deeper. He is not supposed to hesitate. He is certainly not supposed to help the one woman his power can't touch. Together they hold the proof that could bring the whole machine down - but someone unwrote Nera for a reason, and saved her for something. Is a life a debt to be paid - or a gift that was never owed?

Lyra is a modern-day doctor who one day woke up inside the world of her favorite fantasy game. A world that shouldn't exist. There, she meets her bias, Valir, the Grandmaster of the Knights of Ventus and the man she once longed for behind a screen. But now, Valir is no longer just a character. He is real, dangerous, protective, and far harder to keep at a distance than she expected. The peaceful times, though, would soon come to an end. In their first mission, the Void, a corruptive darkness spreading through this world, finds her and begins hunting her, threatening not only her life but also the people who have taken her in. And the more she cares for them, especially Valir, the more she believes leaving may be the only way to protect them. As Lyra searches for a way back home, she discovers that her arrival may not have been an accident, and Valir isn't going to be willing to let her disappear so easily. Not when he learns how she really feels for him. Between two worlds, ancient secrets, and a darkness that knows her name, Lyra must decide whether home is truly where she came from... or the place where someone is willing to fight the laws of the world itself to keep her by his side.

Part 1: He was born to be the kingdom's weapon, but she might be the first thing he's ever chosen for himself. He's the kingdom's golden boy. Famous. Untouchable. A sword prodigy with a perfect name and a rotten home. She's a poor girl with dirt under her nails and a family she'd burn the world for. Mallory Dulcee only wanted work. Jonah Kinley only wanted to be left alone. But when she's hired onto his estate, their worlds collide in the most dangerous way: late-night training, stolen moments, secret walks home, and a connection that feels like sin in a city that worships status. And when the wrong people notice, "romance" stops being cute and starts being deadly. Because Jonah isn't just a noble boy. He's Royal Hand. And falling for the wrong girl might cost them both everything. Part 2: He promised he'd come back. Then the King declared war. Now Jonah Kinley is trapped behind enemy lines with a shadow team, a mission nobody is allowed to question, and a hooded monster of a commander who smiles like he enjoys pain. Back home, Mallory is left with letters... and silence. They write to survive: love, fear, prayers, jealousy, guilt. Every page pulls them closer, even as the world tries to tear them apart. And when Mallory becomes a target, she learns the hard way that being "Kinley's girl" isn't a compliment... it's a threat. Meanwhile Jonah is changing. The war is changing him. And the man pulling the strings wants Jonah to become something worse. They can survive a kingdom at war, but can their love survive what the war turns him into?

I love beautiful romances, let it be high-school sweethearts, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, forbidden love- honestly speaking anything, but personally love has always thrown me under the bus; my type doesn't know I exist and the ones who "fall in love" with me shatter me like glass, maybe that's what pushes me to the brink of INSANITY. Dedicated to all those who believe love has failed them.

Long before kingdoms were built and legends were written, the world was kept in balance by the ancient Elements. Each was born with a purpose. Each was bound by unbreakable laws. And above all else, each was forbidden from loving its opposite. Eira, the gentle spirit of the Cold Breeze, has spent her life preserving the quiet beauty of winter, carrying loneliness as faithfully as she carries the snow. Far beyond the frozen peaks, Caelan, the radiant Fire Plume, is destined to bring warmth, hope, and light to a world that can never truly keep his flame. Raised in different worlds but burdened by the same silent longing, neither realizes they have spent their lives searching for something they cannot name. Until fate lets them meet. Drawn together in the fleeting space where winter yields to spring, their chance encounters awaken a connection neither understands. With every meeting, the bond between them grows stronger, yet so does the truth they cannot escape: some laws exist not to punish the heart, but to protect the world itself. How do you hold on to someone whose touch could unravel everything? And how do you forget the only soul who ever made you feel understood? The Space Between Seasons is a bittersweet tale of quiet love, impossible choices, and the kind of yearning that lingers long after goodbye. It is a story of two hearts born beneath opposite skies, forever reaching across the horizon for a future they were never meant to share.
