Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories.
That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation.
                                                                       ----------------------------------
This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself.
If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early.
Thank you for your time.

Lost in Darkness by midnight-disaster

"Suddenly, I found our faces so close together, I could feel his warm breath caressing my face. It smelt slightly of mint, and an undercurrent that was all Cole-pure masculine goodness.I breathed in deeply, my eyes briefly fluttering closed. God, since when did he smell so good?" Raven has lost everyone. Her mother and twin sister died, her father left, leaving her in alone in the world with powers that she barely understands. All that Raven has left is Cole, her best friend. When a dangerous enemy resurfaces intent on killing Raven, Cole swears he will do all he can to protect her. As the two get pushed closer together, will their combined powers be enough to save them? Will Raven be able to stop her heart from shattering to a thousand pieces? *** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft, and is, for the most part, unedited. I know it's not at its best, but I'm working on it... "Wow, I am so hooked!" "You captivated me from the start..." "The storyline seems very original..." The above were just a few of the comments I received... :) As you can tell, this is also a romance as well as paranormal/fantasy :) hehe Laura__Zalenga owns the right to the picture in the cover...

Dark matter (Self published in 2015) First edition. by dre0101v1

To Quinn, When you read this I'll be over at Zen's place for a couple days. Just letting you know that I have shared a part of my journal publicly. I mean in the online world. Be aware that I've only used your first name, but others have been named. Some of our actual conversations were recorded in this journal. I guess sort of like a book even though writing isn't one of my better strengths. Buddy, that keychain you gave me changed many things. I began sharing this in July and I made my last post early on New Year's Day. You'll be happy to know that the plans for the new center are locked in the safe. I look forward to working with you in this new year we find ourselves in, and please forgive me for telling tales out of school. Your friend, Ash So now that the description is out of the way I can break that fourth wall. The idea for the description was recommended to me by a very good friend since I didn't know how to describe this journal which took place in real time. Dark Matter is a chapter of a much larger work titled "Chronicle of Rouge hill' which I've been writing since I was a teenager. I had started in early 2009 and quickly shelved it in 2010 after I saw "Inception", realizing the ideas were too close. It was picked up again in October of 2012 when I realized what it had to be: less focus on the technical aspects and jargon, and the addition of a love interest. Also, the mission of the "Order of ravens" was changed simply to collecting dream tech. All ten parts were written during the period of October 2012 to March 2013. The idea was to begin posting it on blogger.com in July and it would end in real time, on new year's eve. The events of my real life have indeed influenced the writing. It should be noted that errors in sentence structure are deliberate. A.P.L ©2013 Andre Lalonde. All rights reserved. Painting by Tom Park. Used by permission "Chronicle of Rouge hill"

Please, stay? by jaswastaken13

"please will wake up. you can't leave me yet." the silence that followed only broke her heart more. wilbur soot x (fem) reader :) the story will revolve around the events of the dream smp very heavily, obviously i will make some changes to further the plot, and however i portray certain people is only for story/ plot purposes, i don't actually think these people are like this is real no smut, i can't bring myself to write about it. probably some little fluff here and there. there will be warnings before every chapter of things i believe could trigger someone. i plan to make this story quite long, i literally already have plans for the tommy exile arc. lmao if anyone who is in this story finds this and doesn't like something i wrote or the story as a whole, message me and i will take it down. enjoy my story lol. (i should also mention to my new children, this story and it's chapters take a long time to get out so take that as your warning when i leave you on a cliff hanger for weeks or months <3 )

Dragon Dreams by citizen_indigo

Josh dreams of dragons. He thinks it's just a welcome escape from everyday life. Until one morning, he wakes up with scales, wings, and a tail. Josh faces a harsh new reality: he has become something that shouldn't exist outside the pages of his fantasy books. Sure, he can fly and breathe fire, but being a dragon isn't easy. Ripped from his formerly quiet life, Josh soon learns that he's not alone. He then finds himself entangled in a hidden world of dragons and magic, plots and evil, allies and betrayal. All the while, Josh must deal with changes to more than just his appearance. New instincts and abilities threaten his hope of holding onto even his own family, and among this chaos, he has to choose a side in a conflict with everything at stake. With his life turned upside down, Josh must come to terms with his new identity. Because powerful forces beyond his comprehension will soon endanger everything he cares about.

With a frantic rustle of sheets, I bolted out of bed and promptly fell flat on my stomach. Right in front of my face, I saw a clawed forepaw lying on the carpet; it was mine..." || HIGHEST #1 IN TRANSFORMATION || || HIGHEST #7 IN DRAGON || || HIGHEST #104 IN FANTASY ||

I go La La, Lalalala La! (Tommyinnit Au) by Flareongirl360

(I guess?? Basically if Tommy never betrayed Technoblade. Basically inspired by a lot of stories similar to this. Anyway here's the actual description below ⬇️) Exile. One of the worst things that happened to Tommy and believe me, loads of bad things has happened to him. But being stuck in a single place, far away from his friends and family and with a blob that has taken two of his canon lives and who may have plans of his own, has to be up there in Tommy's list of Worse Things that Has Happened to Me. So he ran away. Whether he snuck into Technoblade's house was intentional or not is honestly up in the air to debate. But when it came to it, Tommy had two choices. To stay with his supposed elder brother who is not dead or go back to the people who turned their backs on him. He picked the first choice. Now Tommy has to live with the fact that he and Tubbo may not be able to repair their friendship and that the country that he helped build is basically f*cked! But that is not the end of the story. I'm not about to spoil the entire plot in one description. Read to find what happens! (Yes I'm doing one of these fics. Sue me or whatever but they seem fun to write so ya know!)

✨ Falling Like the Stars ✨ | Tommyinnit ✔️ by nihachusxplr

UNDER EDITING 👍 ------- "Why are you so annoying Tommyinnit?" she said, a sigh escaping her lips. She was laying down on her bed with her arm covering her eyes while her brother had been downstairs getting the three of them snacks. "Oh and you're so much better Ryleigh." Tommy spat, annoyance lacing his voice. If you looked at him though, he was smiling like an idiot. "I know i am." She said with a growing smile. "Oh come on, just admit it Ry, you love me." Tommy said with a small laugh. "You wish i loved you." She laughed, face growing red. "You will in due time, i have that effect on women." Tommy said quite confidently. "Im sure you do Tommyinnit, im sure you do." She chuckled quietly. ------- A story in which Tommyinnit falls in love with his best friend's twin sister or the girl he has a mutual formed hatred with. ------- NO SMUT AT ALL!! TOMMY IS A MINOR!

In the Twinkle of an Eye by MinedEus

Do you ever look around and get the feeling that you could peel back what you see before you? That the reality you see isn't quite what it seems to be? Kaiser has those feelings too, but pushes them into the back of his mind as everybody seems to laugh it off and tell him he's crazy. But is he? Vast spaces of land keep vanishing into thin air, but nobody seems to be questioning why. Through a string coincidences, Kaiser comes to find a book that changes everything, allowing all of his dreams to come true, and finding out the true nature of his reality. This is the first draft and any feedback on structure, pacing and writing would be much appreciated. I hope you all enjoy! Cheers.
