***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" 

"You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me."  So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first.

Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship.  The number of people allowed to know he exists is few.  He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. 

Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners.  She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him.

She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see.  A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first.
 
A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story.  It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking.  Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. 

This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel.

Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!All Rights Reserved

Shattered Pieces (Wattys 2024) by Penny987

Sapphire always felt like she was missing a big part of her life not knowing anything about her birth father. Tragedy strikes and her whole world comes crashing down around her. What she thought she knew is turned upside down, shattering her into a million pieces. Can she rebuild her life now that the truth has been revealed? Sapphire's 18th birthday is approaching fast, and she can't wait to meet her wolf for the first time and hopefully meet her mate. But nobody could foresee the events that transpire when she finally does. I have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, that have violence and smut. You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running.

How To Rule ✅COMPLETE by Lukinglass

When Rin imagined meeting her mate she did not expect their first meeting to be of him wounded and kneeling in her father's throne room slowly dying. What was more shocking was how she healed him without a second thought because she couldn't bear his pain and even going as far as kissing him slightly forgetting everyone in the room including her father who did not look in anyway pleased. She is torn between two sides. The right one blurred in-between them both. Each holding a consequence she just might not be ready to face. Her father who is grooming her to be exactly like him, a merciless tyrant. Or Her mate who wants her to forsake all she's ever known and in doing so choose him and his people, the rebels. *** 'Rin I care about you. The moment you let them conquer your mind from something as weak as your heart you have already lost. They will use that spymaster to dethrone me and once they do that they will disgard you for your blood relation to me. Understand. I have to protect you Rin even if it hurts you. You're my little girl.' *** Written for the open novella contest 2021. Longlisted for the open novella contest 2021.

There's No Good by Gabrielle0841

••• In a world of heroes there will always be a villain. Because wherever there's a hero around, there will be a villain lurking in the shadows. Because that's common sense right? For every hero, there's a villain. Hero's wouldn't be needed if there weren't bad guys for them to stop. So every story has a villain. This story is about a villain. But what if the villain is actually not so evil at all. What if she's just a girl, being punished not because of what she did. But for what her father has. Is that fair? You don't get to pick your parents. But you do get to pick and decide how you, yourself will act. This is a story about a girl. Maybe evil, maybe good. But under all the labels thrown at her, she's just a girl. Forced into a life she didn't want. Forced to go to school with people who look down on her. Forced by her father to follow a plan. A plan to make the world's most loved boy, the prince, to fall in love with her. All so that her father can get what he wants. But her father didn't think of one slight flaw. The fact that his daughter, is just a girl. And even if he's a prince, he's just a boy. And could it be more obvious? Naturally, one is bound to fall in love. It's all fun and games until the wrong person falls in love. Love fucks everything up. •••

Unite (sequel to Team) Big Four + reader + Hazelia, my fictional twin by xurxmoon

Jack, Hazelia, Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup thought their lives were over, like, for real, but their hopes of seeing each other never faded. Princess Y/N Hearts prayed hard everyday for her friends to come back to the fantasy realm... and when her hope was about to be washed away, a miracle thing happened! She discovered that her friends can come back. But that is... for another thirteen years. So she has to wait, but can she, like, quicken up the time so they can be back earlier? That's for you to know. While the remaining five were leading their lives as normal teenagers. Go to school, eat, sleep... all that boring stuff. They tried hoping for them to be magically transported back to the Fantasy Realm, but of course, it's a fail. (Though Jack discovered that Mr. Tom was not what he said he was). Then all of a sudden, the five each received a letter that told them they're invited to enroll in the Boarding School of Mollyland. And weird thing is... how did the school knew them? But since curiosity got the better of them, they went to the school. Sounds suspicious to me if some school randomly invited me but well, we're talking about five legendary teens here. They walked around the school WITHOUT recognizing each other. But then after a few weeks there, they finally get to see each other again. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with Merida and Rapunzel and only by going to the Fantasy Realm will help the two girls. So, they planned to get back to the place where they all belong. And finally, with Y/N's much needed help, the five get to contact her. But things were also getting pretty... stressful in the Fantasy Realm. But most of all could they reunite and solve Merida's and Rapunzel's problems? And also solve the HUGE problem in the Fantasy Realm? Only one way to find out... ______________ Comments (or was it praise?) for Team, the first book: " This is sooo good! I love it!" ~ @CR_Moon " OMG! THIS WAS AMAZING" ~ @LividEnder

Towers [BOOK ONE] by lidlesaun

"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm) by CaiTheWriter

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?
