"A dark blue sky. It slowly filled my vision with no stars in sight."
SARAH J. MAAS *
A young and terrified girl locks herself away from interaction and from others after finding out about the magic that has apparently always been apart of her this whole time, but the worst part is that she finds out in a sickening way. Left alone to nothing but her books, she re-reads a certain author's series who describes characters with the same pointed ears and powers like hers.
She remembers fantasizing about these amazing creatures called the Fae and always wishing to be like them, the thought triggering a sickening realization in her. She IS High Fae. A High Fae rookie no less. Auburn is this rookie's name and she is struggling to find out more about her from the limited amount of words in the books of Sarah J. Maas. She begs the gods to grant her more knowledge about herself, and even begs the books itself to help her.
Finally, after so long, her pleas are heard by the book; but the books will not be teaching her about the Fae way, not by a long shot. Instead, the books send her spiraling into the world of Prythian without her even realizing it to learn from the real pros. And no, I'm not just talking about normal Fae; we're talking about the High Lords.
Auburn, being sent into Prythian, is suddenly turned into a human by the books while still being able to use her magic, at least inside her mind of course. Confused as to why the books would do this when the whole purpose of coming here was to be taught how to be a Fae, she finally realizes the books antics.
It wants to be rewritten.
The books threw her into the storyline to hopefully stop things before they happen and let her benefit in the process as well. Now, the real question is: will Auburn be able to stop the words from being written as they should be? Will she be able to stop the pages from being turned? Will she be able to re-write the whole series?
Will she, Auburn, be able to answer the book's beckoning?

Smoke and Moonstone
This is more for people that deeply love Harry Potter and didn't want it to end. I've done my best to create a canon-adjacent side story. I wanted to give voices and dimensions to characters who were originally left out (or not main characters). That being said, I do add a few things (like tarot). I try really hard to keep the same voice and feel as the original Harry Potter books. ------***------***------***------***------***------***------***------***------***------***------***------*** When Maeve Boevin transfers from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts in her fifth year, all she wants is to disappear quietly into the stonework. Instead, she's dropped into Slytherin, where ambition cuts like glass, alliances are ancient, and secrets cling to the walls like damp. Her magic is too raw. Her grief too loud. Her mother's vanished into men and merlot, and Maeve is left picking through the broken glass. And then there's him. Regulus Black. Beautiful, brilliant, and far too careful for his own good. He shouldn't look at her. But he does. And she lets him. He's the first one to see her, really see her, and she doesn't know how to let him go. But the dungeons hold darker things than loneliness. Severus Snape watches her like a curse that's already been cast. Cold. Calculating. Threaded with brilliance and something older, darker, buried. He doesn't love her. But he knows things. And that knowing may ruin them both. Maeve is torn between the boy she wants to run toward... And the boy who feels like a warning. With tarot cards that burn her hands and magic that remembers too much, she walks a thin line between fate and choice, love and obsession, safety and power. This isn't a love story. But something is binding. Slow-burn. Canon-era. Dark academia meets magical dread. Maeve x Regulus (first love / tragedy). Maeve x Severus (haunting / unchosen). Rated 18+ for language, trauma, grief, smut, and the kind of magic that doesn't let go.
A Court of Heritance and Destiny
Disclaimer: I do not own ACOTAR characters or the world. This is my own work created within Sarah J Maas already created world. This is set after Silver Flames, but will not touch on any events that have happened after. This story has 5 parts: Part 1: Before Ikarad, the second son to Feyre and Rhysand of the Night Court. Mated to Etera, the Shifter. Both of them are loyal to their court and their family. Both of them dream of a future that feels so impossible and far away, that when it is within grasp, it scares them more. Part 2: During Freya, daughter to Tamlin. Her life is limited to a circle of white stone. Her hair itches, and her dreams are filled with mountains and wings. Betrothed to a male decades older, a marriage everyone around her prepares her for. Part 3: Present Freya has known pain for a long time now and Orion is tasked to look after her. Orion, the outlier, the one that doesn't truly fit in. Freya's identity is questioned, all that she knows about the world starts to break apart. Leaving her to lean on Orion in more ways than one. Part 4: After Amaya, Youngest daughter to Rhysand and Feyre of the Night Court, tries to find her place in the Night Court. Her powers are greater than her brothers and her father. Her head is held high. Things still need to be clarified, still need to be revealed. Part 5: Beyond Etera needs to face what she has tried to hide from. Amaya needs to face her feelings. Orion needs to face his desires. Years of avoidance come to an end. Death returns one more time. And maybe this is not an end, but a beginning. Cover art by me.Complete
The Other Silver Lady
The daughter of Persinia has been alone all her life, tucked away in a forgotten corner of the imperial palace with her sole maid as she spends her days reading books and attending a mandatory ball once in a while. Life is quiet for the most part...that is, until one day, she stumbles upon a book in the library that predicts the future! And this one says she will die when a lost princess shows up in a few years and all of her siblings will kill her to protect their new, favorite sister! Now our princess realizes that if she wants to live, she has to be strong enough to do everything herself - wield aura to counter dark ones, wield magic to protect herself from evil wizards, and know alchemy to protect herself from a poison-happy consort of the emperor keen on making sure her son is the last one standing as heir to the throne. In an empire waging an eternal war against the darkness just to exist, our princess finds herself picking up new skills, new friends, new enemies, and a lot more importance in the palace than before all while trying to just make herself unkillable so she can live silently reading books. Will she be able to unravel all the mysteries of the world that she wants to, or will all of the tasks the emperor asks of her and the troubles she creates for herself keep her from existing in peace? Will she be able to escape the palace before the "silver lady" of that book appears, or is her death inevitable? Well...Mephie doesn't really care, to be honest. She just wants everyone to stop bugging her so she can finally finish the latest book she's been reading...especially those annoying knights...and, well, everyone else too.
Now You See Me... Now You Don't... ✔(Editing)
I looked at him in shock, "How do you know that?" "I know a lot of things about you, Ms. Prior, even things you don't know yourself." Excuse me? "From what you can do," he paused giving me a look before directing his gaze back at the field. "To your eye color. Your parents have blue ones, so I don't see how that works." What? He continued without question, "You are still a mystery to us, as you have never showed any signs of power before, so it's sort of confusing." He paused for a few seconds them said, "You're different; you have an ability. You're a Supernatural." "Ok, I really need to go so..." I began walking back, but he stuck out his arm to block me. And that's when it happened. Flames rose on his arms, lighting them on fire. I backed up, feeling the heat radiate off his arms. I was in utter shock, yet he looked relaxed, amused even. "What the hell are you?" I jumped back, and the fire went out, a smirk rising on his face. "I'm just like you." ***** Kayla Prior has always been a popular girl, and everyone looks up to her.

Star Child
"She was a child born of darkness and light, the union of two different worlds. A true child of Night, they called her- born at midnight under a full moon during the longest night of the year. But she was more than the darkness she was born into. Just like the stars shine against the night sky, so she shines with a light that pours onto everyone she loves. She is the light in my darkness, the star in my sky. She is everything to me. My mate. My equal. My queen." Willow was a unique case- the child of a High Fae mother and an Illyrian father, she was born with a power never before seen, a power that earned her the nickname of "The Banshee". Willow always felt caught between worlds, never really belonging anywhere. In Windhaven, she was a cross-breed female with wings broken in a childhood accident. In Velaris, she was first a latchkey kid of a broken mother and then the sole guardian of her little sister. But when she's kidnapped in the middle of the night and taken to another Court, she knows her quiet life in Velaris is over. Rhysand was a broken male- he'd never truly recovered from what he went through Under The Mountain. But as the High Lord of the Night Court, he puts on a brave face, showing strength to his Court when he feels only a step away from falling apart. But as Hybern starts to march on Prythian, Rhysand puts more and more on his shoulders until it feels he might crumble. Not feeling safe enough to share his pain with anyone, not even his Inner Circle, he continues to feel more isolated and alone. But then everything changes during the High Lord's meeting. Everything changes when he sees that white-haired female wearing a golden mask. And just as the stars and moon bring light to the night sky, so Willow would come to bring the light back into Rhysand's life. And maybe, just maybe, she would help save all of Prythian in the process.
Don't Worry Angel, I'm Here (Book 1) (Complete)
I put my head down again and started walking the rest of the way to math but stopped and almost fell when I ran into a wall. It was actually a guy and when I ran into him sparks shot through my body. He caught me before I fell, wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked up-and I mean up. He's at least 6'3. When I looked into the pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen I got lost in them and couldn’t look away. My wolf kept saying, ‘Mate! We found our mate!’ in my head. He stared back for a few seconds before a huge smile lighted his face. Then he looked over my head at something and glared before pulling me to his chest. "Mine," he growled. ...... Maddy Stevens(Madaline) is a werewolf who has been mentally, physically, and sexually abused by her father ever since her mom died when she was six years old and continues to now when she's seventeen. He started drinking and thats when the abuse started. Since her mother's death Maddy rarely talks to anyone. When she does it's only a few words. Then she meets Justin Coleman-the future Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. Will Justin be able to protect Maddy from her father and get past the walls she has built over the years? Will Maddy trust Justin and let him in her heart? Read the book and find out. (I'm just going to warn you now that if you're planning on reading this story despite the description then be prepared for a lot of mistakes and cheesy crap. I started writing this when I had just turned 12 and the quality of it makes a pile of dog crap look like pure gold. Seriously. It WILL be rewritten eventually but until then... *nudges book toward you with nose turned up at it* Good luck.)Complete
An American at Hogwarts: Book Two
Alexa Stark, daughter of Tony Stark. She's an official wizard, in more ways than one after a year at Hogwarts and some teaching from Strange. She survived her O.W.L.s and is ready to return to Hogwarts for another school year, but when an old tradition is brought back at Hogwarts, will she be able to rise to the challenge? **************** Alexa Stark has officially survived her first year at Hogwarts. She learned five years worth of material in just nine months (with the help of Kahoot, Jeopardy, and Quizlet Live), and she introduced the wizards to a little bit of the muggle world. She made new friends, and dealt with her first solo superhero crisis. She even managed to keep everybody from dying! Now she's going back for her sixth year, but if she thinks she's seen everything the Wizarding world has in store for her, she's wrong. Sixth year brings all kinds of new challenges, and she'll have to rely on her friends--and of course, the training she got from her paranoid family members--to see her through. After everything she went through last year, this should be a piece of cake, right? **************** "You've got a Howler!" "A what?" "A howler! It's a letter that yells at you, and it gets worse the longer you ignore it!" "Who the hell would send me a howler?" "I don't know, but you better open it!" "Alright, here goes..." "ALEXA! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU CAN SEND YELLING LETTERS? THIS IS AMAZING! ANYWAY, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW DUMB THE CAPSICLE LOOKED THIS MORNING IN TRAINING..." **************** Cover by @Mrmilo15 The first book in this series is An American at Hogwarts, and you really need to read that first for this book to make sense. Like the last book, this will mostly follow the Harry Potter timeline, but it won't really follow the Marvel timeline at all. I don't own any of the Harry Potter or Marvel characters or storylines, and I update every three days.Complete
