Forests aren't the only places in which children can become lost...

Handsome can taste luck on his tongue. His sister, Egret, can levitate. But these powers  don't spare them from the difficult life they live in the middle of an urban slum known as the Maze. When the people who should care for them most abandon the siblings to a heartless man, they find themselves on the run through twisting streets that seem to have no end. 

Until one road does end... at a house that promises both safety... and something far more sinister.

THE ROAD by universe-45

What first comes in your mind when you hear or see the word 'road', a path or a way to cover or reach a certain place? Well it is more than that. Road or a path is important in everyone's life. Like for instance, you gotta first travel the road of failure to reach the road of success, You really need to see the road of evil before finding the road of God.

Home Sweet Home by ErinWrights

Gretel never had much of an interest in magic, not really. The inn she runs just happens to be made out of candy. But that design choice was made by the home's previous occupant, the witch Agatha, who had tried to steal the youthful bodies of Gretel and her brother Hansel. The witch had misused her magic though, and as punishment the house took away her human form and trapped her inside of a gingerbread one. Gretel has big dreams though. She wants to expand their little cottage into the finest set of lodgings in all of Germany. Money is an issue. As are the tricks Agatha plays against on the customers, always trying to worm her way back into a human form. The money problem could be solved by a wealthy investor, such as her neighbor Thomas, but that man only has one thing on this mind. And then the war came. Across the border the French have overthrown their King and established something called a Republic. German troops march west to avenge the death of their Emperor's brother-in-law and Hansel has marched with them. What's more the magic in the house is fading. The witch Agatha says it needs a new Master to make new rules and new spells, or else it will melt away into nothing. But is Gretel up to the task?
