Panache, an exuberant road gypsy, is on her way to the mountains.  Benjamin Pencil, The Man With The Glass Heart, has no use for mountains.  But their paths cross and their lives intertwine. 

As they travel, they encounter a predatory Woman, a Laughing Man who lives only to kill dreams;  Panache's utterly irresistible father, and the melodious laughing bird, whose  irresistible song  lures Benjamin to an Arabian Nights world where hypnotizing creatures dance and sing late into the night.

At what peril does Benjamin Pencil follow the melodious laughing bird?  To what end?  Can real hearts be broken?  Is a shattered heart the end of all love?  Or can it be a new beginning?

Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

The Moonlit Apparition by realisticfanfiction
14 parts Ongoing
Seventeen-year-old Tia has always felt like an outsider. Despite being the daughter of the Grandmaster of the Magician's Order, she has grown up without the one thing that should define her: magic. At the age when every child in her world begins to manifest their powers, Tia remains stubbornly mortal, her magical potential unmanifested and her future uncertain. On the brink of being cast aside as non-magical, she feels the weight of her father's growing disappointment, and the distance between them becomes almost unbearable. But just when Tia's world seems on the verge of collapse, her nights are haunted by vivid, nightmarish dreams. In each one, a hooded figure appears-a man whose face remains hidden in shadow, but whose presence is unmistakably magnetic. He whispers of truths long buried, and every night, his voice draws her deeper into a dark and twisted reality that seems more real than any dream should be. As the dreams intensify, Tia feels an undeniable pull toward the hooded stranger. His presence offers her an answer to the emptiness inside her, a connection that feels impossible yet inescapable. But this is no ordinary man. With every encounter, the boundaries between them blur, and Tia begins to realize that this man might not just be a figment of her nightmares-but someone from the past, someone whose identity is tied to the very magic she thought she lacked. As Tia discovers a dark secret about her heritage-one that links her to ancient, lost magic-the hooded man becomes more than just a guide; he becomes something else entirely. Is the hooded man her salvation, or the harbinger of her downfall? And can the darkness within him-and within herself-lead to the light she desperately seeks, or will it pull them both into a pitfall too dangerous to survive?

Barry's life by irisekkeri
59 parts Ongoing Mature
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued
