The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die (GirlXGirl) by Queen_kong132

At the edge of a forgotten bridge, under a sky heavy with stars, Dylan makes a choice she believes will silence the ache that has consumed her for years. Below, the river waits, promising the silence she craves. And with a trembling breath, she makes her choice-a final escape But the plunge doesn't deliver the end she expects. Instead, Dylan awakens-disoriented, drenched, and very much alive-on the riverbank. Something, or someone, has intervened, though she can't explain how or why. The world she thought she was leaving behind is still there, but it feels different now: sharper, stranger, and filled with questions she can't ignore. The house she returns to feels just as empty, and her father barely notices her presence. Yet, something shifts inside her. What follows is a path she never anticipated. Her journey forces her to confront the walls she built to keep the world out, leading her into fragile connections and unsettling truths. Piece by piece, the armor shielding her begins to crack, revealing a girl who must learn not just to survive but to live. Dylan's story is not about surrender but transformation-finding herself in the ruins of what once was. Through unexpected friendships and haunting revelations, she uncovers that while the past may haunt her, the future holds something far more powerful: the possibility of hope. Yet some second chances come at a price, and as Dylan inches closer to the truth, she realizes that survival was only the beginning.

She woke up in the body of a baby and as an avid romance novel reader she knew exactly what had happened. She was reborn and entered a book.

Isle of the Faeries by KayETib

There are still some places in this world where magic exists. It clings to the remote parts of the world that Time has left behind and forgotten, where life is simpler and nature is powerful. An example is Teelin, an island off the coast of Ireland, in Teelin you are either a farmer or a fisherman unless you work in Rell the largest town on Teelin. There are few cars and fewer well paved roads, the summers are often cloudy and the winters bitter but there is a wild powerful magic in every leaf and every wave that crashes on the cliffs. It is not the magic of movies with pretty sparks and silly words, it is the raw elements, deep and dark, complex and dangerous. It is addicting, and to the residents of Teelin it is a part of life. Something to watch out for, something to beware of but in the end no different than the wild dog packs that roam the moors, dangerous but avoidable. For it is not humans who wield the magic, it is the Sidhe, the Fey who wander the island, who live in the forests and lurk under the waves.
