If you had one wish, what would you wish for: cabbages or thumbs?

********

Willow is an enchanted goose who longs to be a full-time human.

Hugo is a cabbage farmer who just wants to grow his crop in peace.

Together, they lead a relatively calm and quiet life on Hugo's humble farm.

That is until a dragon with a dreadful cough burns their cottage to the ground and destroys their livelihood. Now they're on a journey to find a powerful Fairy who can reverse the destruction of their home. Along the way, they meet some bizarre characters:

A princess with a surprising birth defect.

A tone-deaf minstrel who has a most peculiar muse.

A gaggle of geese fighting over a golden bonnet.

As the two face harrowing obstacles straight out of a fairytale, they quickly begin to learn that magic is not what it's made out to be and that wishes always come with a catch. Soon they're forced to decide what they'd be willing to sacrifice for the sake of their dreams--and maybe even love.

[COMPLETE] They say weddings are eventful, to say the least. Anything could happen. What I didn't expect however, was him. My mistake. It's been years since we last spoke- he drives me crazy, in ways no one else has. Being back home and reunited with old friends, was about to get messy. ~ "Morning sleeping beauty," He drawled, leaning against the counter mixing his protein shake vigorously. "Well then you must be the beast and not the prince." I retorted, rummaging through the pantry for some granola I could have with greek yoghurt. "Yeah," he shrugged. I put my bowl and ingredients on the table and frowned. Did... he... just agree with me? "In the gym, in the office... and definitely in bed," he winked. Oh. There it was. He's so full of himself. I rolled my eyes, proceeding to make myself breakfast. It's too early for this. ~ Follow along as two individuals encounter each other once again as adults, whilst their teenage histories shadow over them with every step.

The Archivist's All-knowing Almanac by JanGoesWriting
36 parts Ongoing
There's nothing more dangerous than a book, especially in the wrong hands. And, in this world of magic, wars and an alarming number of self-serving, gratuitously selfish people, there are a lot of wrong hands to take advantage. When the world's foremost mage, Anpound Pudbatter (fresh from a magical accident that had turned him back into a teenager with all the associated raging hormones) meets Gammer Goodhiding, the world's most polite, yet indefinably terrifying witch, and Bindi, a Druid who almost has a filthy mouth, they come together to search for an object that could very well spell the end of the world as they know it. Or change it in ways they cannot imagine. From the intermittently high Mount Pintel, to the vast, unending Library, to the indeterminately located city of Lost Vagueness, where hope, and Coin, go to wallow in despair, to the world's most important, prominent, and tiniest city, the three of them must follow the magical chaos wrought by the presence of the book. And with warlords bent on conquest, thieves out for a quick score and a djinn with a mischievous attention to detail in the way, things may not go quite according to plan. And what, exactly, is the origin of the book? Only The Archivist's All-knowing Almanac knows for sure. A love-letter to the works of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

23 parts Complete
Crysen hails from a powerful and noble lineage of light fairies and is expected to uphold his mother's legacy. However, he has yet to awaken his power and continues to wait for his time to come. When it finally does, there is no escape from destiny and he must learn to use his power or watch as the entire realm is destroyed. With the help of his newly discovered friends, he must overcome the threat to the realm and learn to use his powers. At least, he is not alone but will having them there help or hinder him? 2021 Note: This is the original version of the story which is now being rewritten into a novel worthy of Crysen. I have long debated on what to do about this book and have finally decided to start over and create something even better, for Crysen and for myself. However, I will not take this down because I see it as a vital piece of my history, as well as Crysen's. Thank you.
