Loretta bit her lip and took a deep breath before she peered into the keyhole and slid the pick into the narrow opening. "You will open for me," she murmured.

Loretta knows how to pick a lock faster than you can say "juvenile delinquent". But the sixteen year old's world spirals out of control fast after she breaks into an annex of the British Museum, accidentally unleashes an arrogant, immortal genie, and winds up trapped with him inside the lamp.

The Cursed Wish by eliana_elf

Before the fall of the fairy kingdom, wishes were freely given. Now, wishes are gone, and only curses remain, with two girls standing against them. Princess Estefania longs to save her kingdom, but with a looming curse over her head, she's spent sixteen years in exile from Sahar. Then, a strange Marquis shows up on her doorstep with an answer and a way home: an engagement with the crown prince of the kingdom next door, Cyra. Lady Elowen doesn't fit in at fancy parties, but after she meets Prince Fletcher of Cyra, she starts to dream beyond her kitchen. After learning a dreadful secret, Elowen must find a way around Fletcher's engagement with the beautiful Estefania to save those held captive by a vengeful fairy. Estefania and Elowen will have to work together to unravel the last of the curses that plague their kingdom, but they are running out of time to make any last wishes before the curses overtake everyone they hold dear.

The plan backfires and he's forced to marry a princess against his will. She's 18, beautiful, and suspicious. There is no way a king would give away his ONLY child to a random man much less a hunchback. Something must be wrong with her. And so, Wyrn decides to give her back. The only problem? She won't let him.

wish granted by therealestpotato

To save the world from the apocalypse she accidentally triggered, a hopeless romantic klutz must take her wish back from the malicious devil apprentice and give up the girl of her dreams. Samantha is so hopelessly in love with her neighbor Ella that after finding a real "Genie", she wished for her love to be returned. And it worked! She gained Ella's interest and they embarked on a passionate romance for a lifetime. Until the world started ending. Literally. Should Samantha perhaps have read the fine print before she made her wish? Should she do the morally responsible thing and take her wish back, or spend the rest of her short insignificant life with the one she loves?
