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

Tracking the Wolves (Madison Joshi and the Wolves series- Book 3) by FangirlHere1234

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in a fantasy novel with werewolves? Spoiler alert: It isn't as great as you would expect it to be. Sure, you do get to meet werewolves but you also get that one deranged villain who is hell bent on making your life miserable. Maddy finished rescuing her best friend so things should have gone back to normal, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, there is still a power-hungry, unknown villain out there who is trying to capture Maddy. As if there isn't enough drama in Maddy's life, turns out that Maddy's mother may be keeping secrets from her too... 〜♡〜 This is the third book in the Madison Joshi series. I recommend reading the first two books before reading this. 〜♡〜 Edited by @taehyungie_lover

Tempest by LucyMangoXX

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.

Behind her hazel eyes (COMPLETED) #thewattys2020 by white-wolf-girl

Everyone loves a good mythical/monster story, right? We all know our far share of myths, medusa the lady who could turn you to stone with just a look. Creatures that do not ages, cannot go into the sun and feeds on humans flesh. Known in this day anf age as vampires. Then there's my favourite myth... The myth of the ones chosen (better yet cursed) by the moon goddess to turn every full moon. However it mentions how the 'chosen ones' became the cursed ones. They were forced to turn every full moon becoming blood thirsty, but they were better known for.. the beasts they become. Well let me tell ya... I do love a good story but that is all they are. One. Big. Story. Not everything is true they did lie about some. We don't change every full moon and we are not on two legs and we do not eat human flesh infact we are humans!!! We walk among you, only we are very much different from you aswell as eachother. Well at least I am... I'm not your average she-wolf but let me tell you something my journey is unlike anything you've seen before. **** 19th November 2018- rated #350 in true. 4th December 2018- rated #15 in werewolf.

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.

Bulletproof season 1 by Pll017

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

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.
