3 Like my previous fanfiction MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR MY FIRST TWO FANFICTIONS. She had lied for her entire life. No one knew the whole truth, just the scraps she had told them. But as she sat in her cell, she thought over everything that had happened in her life - everything she had done. Why had it happened? What had she done it for? *Contains swearing and violence* Disclaimer: there are some unresearched and badly written characters in this work that I apologise for. I do not want to take the work down because that denies the fact that I ever made these mistakes, but please understand that I know these portrayals are somewhat problematic and I apologise.Complete

He was sick and tired of them not listening to him, always accusing him of something he didn't do, or in this case, unintentionally did. He went to his home again, but in the woods and out of sight. He ran into a witch, who he didnt even know lived there. She begged for some assistance in finding some herbs. Jack, however, declined the offer. She persisted, and that annoyed Jack. He had already been going through enough and this old witch wasn't helping. He then yelled at her to leave him be and to find her own "stupid plants".

LMK x Child Reader (NON-BINARY) [ON HOLD]
(This a very old book and contains grammar errors, slight cringe and some other stuff normally found in a 12 year old's fanfiction when they have too much time on their hands.) Welcome to my first story, technically. Also, all relationships will be platonic! (Because the reader is a child). The reader is also non binary, but I will make two other books with the same story, just different gender. ~Y/n just wanted excitement in their life. They didn't feel many emotions. They had a wonderful family that loves them and cares for them. After They were left home alone while their family went on a trip and was in the care of a certain noodle shop owner, they finally gets a bit of entertainment.~Complete
