Classics Retold by Jayjay by Mx_Jayjay

The stories you know as you've never seen them before. Fairytales, Fables, Nursery Rhymes, and Literary Classics are all given the Jayjay treatment. Each tale is lovingly retold with new twists breathing new life into the stories you love. Each story is set within the same interconnected world but each story can be enjoyed on its own. Can you spot the connections? Disclaimer: I can't guarantee that a story will definitely be released each week. This is my aim and I plan to stick to it as best as I can. Since each story is different the first section of this story is a list of each story with the specific content warnings associated with it. I will update this list with each new story.

A Nagas caring nature (Naga! X Child! Reader) by PhoebeClark4

A poor family life with abuse after abuse after abuse. It felt like there was no escape but when the two people who gave you life were about to make you expire too soon, you ran into the woods. Deep within your Paleolithic chromosomes, you knew the only way to get further away from them was forward through the seemingly endless terrain of trees, grass and animals. Knowing you reached an end, you were lost. No one to save you. No one to protect you. No one to love you. Until now... Mythology is truly a wonderful thing to learn but while they are classified as just myths, hence the name "mythical", it is believed some still exist among us. One in particular is terrifying in theory. A Naga. A Naga is a monster with the body of a very very large snake and the uper torso of a human. They are believed to be very dangerous and cold hearted. But that has now been proven wrong. Are they indeed dangerous or caring and loving? WARNING!: CONTAINS MENTIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AND HAS SWEAR WORDS AND MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE AS WELL!

King of the Woodlands by prvmadonna

edit 3/9/23 I wrote this when I was 12 so please disregard the age-old "I'm not like other girls" trope and anything else ok thanks 🤓🤓 "They say the Woodland King's voice makes the rivers flow fast, and his claws could shred men into ribbons of flesh and bone." Every one hundred years, the feared Woodland King captures an unfortunate human from the kingdom of Llewellenar to serve him until their death. When twelve-year-old Lilibeth's father suddenly disappears, she must embark on a relentless quest to save him from the clutches of a murderous beast. As she ventures deeper and deeper into the world of the Woodland King, she befriends an unusual ally and uncovers a hidden truth that no human in Llewellenar history has ever done before.

Teen Wolf Imagines by Bhea1841

Not taking and writing requests any more. This book is for female readers. These are MY imagines from my tumblr account.

A Life Beyond the Mirror by nicoleadams13

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.

Mythical Spirits: Once Upon A Time by rosellaofficial

If you love any magical books or shows such as Rainbow Magic, My Little Pony, Miraculous Ladybug, Winx Club, Sailor Moon, Harry Potter and W.I.T.C.H., Mythical Spirits is the series for you. Once upon a modern day in a fictional island called Harverna, there are eight 8-year olds who have everyday ordinary lives. But what makes them special from others are that they also live double lives as spirits when they receive a set of constellions (a weapon and a jeweled item for timing). Follow along as you hear their backstories (even the villain's)! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎 Note: Only the drawings are mine, the photos below may not be accurate to the character but they're the closest that I could find. Some of them are AI generated from generated.photos and thispersondoesnotexist.com.

When Stars Fall by BellOfSilence

** When a wish brings devastating consequences, Pan must join forces with a fallen star to stop the walking dead before Neverland sinks into eternal darkness. ** "We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight We can navigate the stars to bring us back home In a place so far away We'll be young; that's how we'll stay Every wish is our command When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland." - Neverland, Zendaya - Everyone knows the stories and adventures of Peter Pan, the boy who didn't want to grow up. But hardly anyone knows that this story did not end the way it is told. After his most significant victory and worst loss, the boy who never wanted to grow up has to give up what is most important to him. What he does next, however, not only changes the course of Neverland's history but could also mean the island's demise under the two stars. So the future of this dreamy isle rests once again on the shoulders of Pan - and those of a fallen star. **** ONC2023EN SHORTLIST/HONORABLE MENTION The NanoWatt Longlist 2023 - Highlights 6 x WATTPAD FEATURED **** 🥇 1st Place Sunflower Award - Fanfiction 🥇 1st Place Laurel Wreath Award - Fanfiction 🥈 2nd Place Phoenix Award - Fanfiction 🥈 2nd Place TCR Awards - Adventure 🥉 3rd Place Starlight Mini Awards - Best Title 🥉3rd Place Fluorescene Awards - Fanfiction
