Your sibling stares at the star. Considering to make a wish, but before they can. They turn to you with a confuse glance. "But I thought you can't tell others what you wish for? Or else they won't come true" your sibling points out. You chuckle and ruffle their hair. "That is true but I'm a special case." "How?" "Because," you turn to your sibling with a proud smile," I'm the wish keeper. I'll make sure to keep your wishes safe" you answer. You sibling snorts. "No you're not!" they yell with a smile. "Oh yes, I am! Now go on," you nod to the window. "Go make a wish" . . . You never believed in fairytales, or myths like Sanat Claus, or the Tooth Fairy. But what happens when you get told that you are one? A spirit whose job is to protect the joy and innocence of the children within the world. But not only that you are also told that you are in danger. So what happens on this strange self-discovery journey? Oh, did I forget to mention that the moon told you this too? . . .

Tempest by LucyMangoXX
50 parts Complete
Sometimes, you believe you are the only one left. Sometimes, you feel that the choices you make move you further away from where you should be. Sometimes, there are forces out there that wrong you and you need to find a way to make things right. Sometimes, you need to face your darkest fears and go down a path that will lead you to a place you had never imagined you would get to. Tempest had the odds stacked against her when her family was torn apart by unknown assailants. For years she thought her family had been killed but when she discovered the truth she realised that there was so much more to their disappearance than she had ever imagined. A war was coming and she had no choice but to fight against forces that she had never thought she would ever meet. But with new friends and alliances, maybe there is hope that they will have a fighting chance. The Supernatural world was heading for a major face off and she would be caught in the middle of it. The only question was, what lengths would she go through to make sure she got her family back and get rid of a threat that could end the world as she knew it.

A oneshot compilation for the broadway version of Newsies that began with someone else's typo (here's lookin at you, @omg_im_totes_biii): There are lots of different X readers within; enter at your own risk. There is cringe galore. If you enjoy these stories, go check out @DaydreamShimmer and her works. She's my brother and she writes amazing stories!

Bulletproof season 1 by Pll017
13 parts Ongoing
In the world called the Lively, life is literally a fairy tale, where fairies live in huts and Cinderella gets divorced by the Prince. A land of happily afters...or is it? In 2018, an adopted fairy princess Flume-Ophelia runs away from her fairy tale world, leaving her life behind. More than two years later, Flume lives a normal life in the Human World away from the consequences of evil and the tight controlling council who wishes to persecute her because of her unique ability to create fire. She spends her days as simply Ophelia, attempting to enjoy her twenties while navigating a pandemic with her roommates. After a planned visit to Neverland to visit her eternally teenaged adopted parents, the kind yet forceful tree nymph Maleficent and the grumpy Peter Pan, Flume-Ophelia discovers an evil villain stealing something valuable in the asylum prison of Wonderland, something that could potentially cause the end of the world. A nineteen-year-old Flume returns to the shattered world she once knew and is reluctantly forced to save the world. But how much will it cost her?

A Life Beyond the Mirror by nicoleadams13
18 parts Complete
What if all the myths are real? Monsters, witches, faeries. Well NEWSFLASH! They are. And I've been thrown into the deep end. Before I was a normal girl, well as normal as any 17-year-old can be, but after moving in with my Grandmother everything started to change. She wasn't as crazy as everyone made her out to be. The friends I made in school were different than the others and I fit right in. Even weirder, the elusive handsome stranger I have been dreaming about for the past 2 years is here, and he recognises me too. I just hope that the dreams that plague me don't come true. Otherwise, things won't end well for any of us.
Guardian of Life (Jack Frost x OC) by Vigilante24
13 parts Complete
Belief The strongest thing in the world. It can give someone hope when everything seems lost and a feeling of power when you think that you can fight no more. Belief can make anything stronger, more alive and truer. From belief is how many religious gods got a name, how legends and stories are being formed. It all starts with a name and one believer. The light spreads, from person to person and that name gains power. Slowly, it is more believed in and that name gets a form, then a face and then existence. This is how the fairy tails came to be. How the protectors and the enemies of the children appeared and how they exist up until today. However, just like in every situation, there is a catch. A small area that is not white or black but grey. There, no side can be taken, and no rules apply the same. In the case of fairy tales, you have the light side with the Guardians and the spirits; tasked to protect their children. On the other side, you have the Boogieman and those who want to harm and terrorize the innocent bright souls of young children. And in the middle, in the grey zone, you have a single lonely figure with a task no one else wants, a task that makes them receive hatred and fear instead of admiration and love. And that person carries it without a word of complaint. That person is Thanatos but nowadays, she goes by Grim Reaper...the Guardian of Life and the outcast of the Big Five.
Strange Things by Lisset130
25 parts Complete
Monsters have always been the bad guys. Fairytales are nothing more than just bedtime stories. This is how the world functions. Or at least this is how the world has taught you to think. This might be the reason why earth is under the rule of modern science. Nobody ever takes the time to just stop and take a look around... Because of modern science, nobody believes in the impossible anymore, everyone has the instinct that if you can't see something it's not there. There's a truth about fairytales and monsters, but if your ever in the mood to know, the only way to find out...is to fall down the rabbit hole.. "Come with me." "Where?" "A place where I go to escape reality." "Your insane!" "Obviously." "I'm not going anywhere and you can't force me!" "I wasn't forcing you, just trust me and I promise you'll understand everything." "...." "Well?" I extend my hand and she slowly takes it. "There's no going back. You'll never be the same after this.." She nods her head understandingly and I pull her into a world of madness and wonder...
