The Winged
Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed!

A Garden of Flowers and Bones [Lloyd Garmadon x Reader]
[LEGO NINJAGO FAE & FAERIES!AU] At first it doesn't seem like much of a good thing. But in time, it feels like stepping off the path into Fair Folk-infested territory and talking to a stranded Fae (who looks at her as if she's helpless prey) was a good idea. Because she made a friend...! Well, kind of. It's a bit complicated. Listen, he may be constantly attempting to trick her into being dragged off into the woods never to be seen again, but he IS good company. CONTENT WARNINGS: - Y/N has a middle name which she uses as a fake name because of the whole Fae-stealing-your-name-thing. Lloyd's discovery of her true name is an overarching plot point. - Suggestive Themes (no explicit content) - Ableism - Religious Content/Criticism/Discussion/Guilt - Period-Typical Sexism and Themes of Internalised Misogyny - Blood and Violence (TWs at the beginning of chapters) - Child Death & Miscarriage (not happening to the MC but as a consequence of the middle ages)

Autumn Reminiscence
"Tomoko, why don't you go pay Oba-san a visit? She lives alone and there's no one to check up on her. It's not like you're doing much these days anyways," Okaa-san suggested. Why would I want to go there? The place that's filled with yokai? No matter how many excuses I come up with, she won't take no as an answer. When I finally arrive at the rural town Oba-san lives in, it doesn't feel the same as when I was little. The yokai are out more in the day now. Are they getting bolder? Maybe it's just my imagination.Complete
