Playing with Fire [COMPLETED] by RavenMoonspark

Every year, my town chooses a sacrifice for the demon that "watches over" our home. In exchange for a person from the village between the ages of 17 to 25, the demon protects our village. And because of that pact, our village is protected for the next year, under the demon's watchful eyes. No one knows what happens to those who the demon chooses, but there's a lot of theories about it. One is that the demon eats or absorbs those who are chosen - another, that it kills them. But this year, I'm the one who's chosen. I get to meet the demon I've feared since I was a child, and now that I'm 24, and am considered an adult, I could have left the village behind. But I didn't. Something inside me told me to stay. Now, I'm going to die. I just know it. I can't leave now, or run away, because the town would be unprotected for a whole year, and that's where my family lives. I don't know what to do, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Besides, how bad can this demon be if they're guarding our town?

Twenty-Five Winters by writtenbySU

They say love is the oldest magic... but what if it's also the deadliest curse? Vaenya has always felt like winter was watching her. Each falling snowflake feels like a warning, each dream more vivid than the last - flashes of fire, a pair of ocean-blue eyes, and a voice whispering her name. But when a stranger appears in the woods - tall, quiet, with eyes that feel too ancient to belong to a man - something inside her stirs. A memory she shouldn't have. A warmth she can't explain. The closer he comes, the stranger her world becomes. Shadows follow her. The forest feels alive. And she begins to wonder - What if she's not meant to survive her 25th winter? In a world of divine curses, rebirth, and forbidden love - one truth remains: Someone is watching her. Waiting for her to remember. But what if remembering is exactly what will get her killed?

The Woodsman and The Faery by kenralove12

"Why won't you let me go? I am not yours to keep, and never will be." Those words coming from her pouty lips stung his chest, but it did not waver in his determination. He pulled her wrist, causing her to fall in his embrace and he whispered in her ear softly. "No matter what you are or who you are, I will not let you leave my sight, not even for one second! Your tricks might work with other people, but not me." The tension between them got ten times worse when he felt her shiver underneath his body. Spending most of his life as a woodcutter to make ends meet for his family, Christopher did not expect to be knocking down a faery house in his lifetime since they were supposed to be a myth. The faery isn't too happy about her house being gone, now that her house is in pieces, Christopher has to give her a home until he can find her a new one, where no one will cut it down like he did.
