There are monsters in the Valley of Kings. Some are human. Others are not.

For almost forty years, the little village in the Valley of Kings has thrived under the protection of the White King, a great statue standing silent at the mouth of the valley. Villagers, however, are not permitted to leave the valley unless on the brink of death. There is no reason to leave, no reason to explore -- for there are monsters outside the Valley, and on the third of each month, they roam the hillsides, devouring anyone and anything that dare cross their path. The monsters are held at bay by the White King's mighty sword, but one fateful day in december, the King cracks and crumbles to a heap on the Valley ground. Best friends Aggie and Ben, the future of the Valley, must learn how to survive and fight against something they've never been permitted to see. Armed with only their wits and dwindling supplies, Aggie and Ben find new friends, new enemies, and uncover secrets that would be better off buried six feet under.All Rights Reserved

Once A Tale (MXM, BXB) by vbturnabout

Once upon a time a snow king fell for an apathetic servant, then a prince-turned-bear found true love in a fellow prince who almost shot him in the face. Almost. Then, of course, one can't forget a monster who found himself wanting to be more human. Bit by bit. For love. Protagonists quirky and not, sarcastic and witty and a bit too self-aware. Every fairy tale has their typical happy ending but it looks as though these ones had to take detours and backtrack on the way to theirs... oh well. As long as it ends well, who cares if it's a little bit odd. Each story is its own stand-alone tale of romance, though there may be bonus shorts for some.

Gideon Saint has gone missing. His friends are frantically searching for him, while he lays trapped, deep in a mountain, prisoner of some unknown ancient wizard. Some unknown force is threatening Ireland, but can Gideon escape in time to warn Wales and identify the unknown foe? If you have not read "Last Knights of Cambia" Books 1,2, or 3, do enjoy them first as this contains spoilers for those books. Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is still here and he's awesome despite being an anti-hero at best. Found families. Sword fights. Everybody is vaguely gay, weapons are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Trigger/Content Warning: Fantasy violence, brief peril. Characters mention having crushes, no major romance. A man and his wife briefly appear to flirt in conversation. It's briefly implied two unmarried characters have spent the night in the same room. It's briefly speculated a married person is having an affair.

While taught her whole life of the curse she was born with, she will discover the beauty hidden beyond her ordinary life. I made the cover.

Other triggers involve. -Insanity -Child Abandonment -Death -Gore -Dark Magic This story I wrote back in high school was one of the very few I was proud of. However, some moments are definitely cringe-worthy. ©AnimeJay

STEVE by themartyne

Greetings, human. You can call me Synopsis. One of the first to break the third wall. Or fourth...whatever wall I am breaking. Please, may I be so honored as to present what is it that goes on in this world, without actually not telling you what the story is about. Life is hard. Rock Valley; a place named by a blind guy who fell into a ditch and spent his entire life there. A place where putting on your pants without checking for spiders might be the last thing you do. A place which lies in the middle of the edge of the bottom of nowhere. A place that's about to face some thing. An eyeless guy drives into the remote town of Rock Valley. Now, for one thing I'm pretty certain about eyeless people, is that they cannot see...so Vudan Misch, as he goes by the name, moving into Rock Valley means that something supernaturally major is about to take place and I guess that's what you want to find out in detail. Carry on then, have a blast. I am always here if you need me. Cheers, Synopsis.
