Sir Oswald Wealwright, pioneering industrialist and eligible bachelor, has never had any truck with occult nonsense or peasant superstitions. His manservant, abysmal poet and incorrigible daydreamer Johnny Burslem, thinks of little else.

Which is why, when a letter arrives sprouting moss and rust and demanding payment of an inexplicable debt, only one of the two men is prepared for the strange journey they must undertake.

There are things that lurk in the English countryside. And whatever your business may be, they have a thoroughly excellent understanding of how to make a deal.All Rights Reserved

The Witch's Forest by StarsandInk

After two weeks in Spain and Italy, you and your friend were going to finish off your trip to Europe with a visit in rural France before heading back home. In order to get to the town you were going to be staying in, you had to cut through a forest that's supposedly cursed by a witch. As misfortune would have it, your way out of the forest was blocked by a tree. It was then a servant at a nearby estate offered refuge for the meantime, stating that the master was more than happy to offer his home to anyone in need. However, there's something sinister that is haunting the two of you and will stop at nothing to get what it wants.

The Trials by StarsandInk

You were warned from a young age about the fair folk from your father, and that you should never make a deal with one-- no matter how dire your circumstances. But through a series of tragedies, you desperately made a deal with the fairy king himself for a second chance. On the fourth anniversary of the deal, he had come to collect his debt from you. In another moment of desperation, you once more made a plea with him for your freedom. The condition was that if you win his trials, you were free to leave but if you failed, you must stay in the fairy realm and wed him. With only your determination and skills, you must fight through each trial more treacherous than the last or be forever trapped. (Sequel to 'The Game').

The Wright by IolaJones

FULL STORY ON PATREON- COMPLETED There are many types of witches and warlocks with varying skills and abilities in Gandheim. Being a Portaler, Healer, or Maganer will guarantee success, but the greatest of all are the Soul Wrights. With the ability to manipulate life force itself, Soul Wrights are as exceedingly dangerous as they are rare and only manifest in males. The High King Kinnut owes his position to his ability, but has maintained peace within his realms for nearly two centuries. He claims that this is due to a strict adherence to his greatest law; all Soul Wrights are put to death after a prophecy foretold the end of his reign by another. Fortunately or unfortunately for me, I showed poor magical capabilities growing up and am failing out of the Academy. Barely more useful than a human, I will be lucky to find a job cleaning sewage pipes. When Kinnut visits the Academy to eliminate the newest Soul Wright, he offers me a position in his home at Height. Not only because he could end my life with a snap of his fingers, but also because of the pressure from my family, I have no choice but to accept. Our line has always been intertwined with the King, until now. FINISHED ON PATREON HERE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68851294

That Which Cannot Be Explained by JosAguilar263

For not that very long of a time, Michael of the Manor was seeking for an opportunity of a lifetime. And just when that opportunity seemed to be opportune, all that is and was now is not and was not. The Land that this young fellow thought to be of no spectacle to spectate, soon shifts and twists into a tale never untold ever again. Whether it is feasting in the halls of the Intoxicated Village, sailing across the deserts on the Gliding Wagons, or throwing slurs at an irritated canyon that talks back with sass, nothing can compare to a tasty bite of flour moons, lightly salted! In the ever so changing life of Michael of the Manor, all that once was so simple, shall become...that which cannot be explained.

Cardan & Jude oneshots by missgreenbriar

Rewriting scenes from the book but adding a little of my own special touch ✨ spice ✨ > +18 < The chapters are not connected to each other, they are individual stories. Depending on the chapter, BOTH Cardan and Jude and dom and sub. That's how I see their relationship. There are also some fluff chapters <3 Previous rankings: n1 for #thecruelprince n1 for #jurdan n1 for #thequeenofnothing n1 for #judeduarte n1 for #thewickedking n1 for #judeandcardan n1 for #locke n1 for #wickedking n1 for #thefolkoftheair n1 for #tarynduarte n1 for #nicasia n1 for #folkoftheair

Destinies Collide by Yumeori

[ON HIATUS BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW LAPTOP, SORRY] Michael Wright believed himself to be a good person. He paid his taxes, was polite to his neighbors, friendly at the workplace, and made regular donations to charities he became involved within his line of work. He believed himself reasonably aware of good and bad characters, which is why he had a feeling Vernon Dursley was of the latter sort and was not very enthused about the dinner invitation. Harry didn't like it when people came to visit. Uncle Vernon was always more mean, Aunt Petunia kept shrieking about everything being perfect so they could impress whoever's visiting, and he always got locked in his cupboard early. An ordinary dinner might be all that's needed to intertwine two not-so-ordinary destinies into one.

The Autumn Prince by FCCleary

How do you cope with learning that your mother was murdered before you were born, your father is a fairy hitman, and you wield the power to raise an army of devoted love slaves... except you haven't the least idea how to control it? Tom Corwen's disability had driven him to excel, and in his first year as a grad student at Berkshire-Avery University, he gains the respect of his professors, a girlfriend way out of his league, and something close to a normal life. After meeting a perplexing stranger with a cryptic message about his mother, Tom and those close to him are trapped in a cold war between impossible kingdoms and marked for death by the world's most powerful Fae. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Autumn Prince is book 1 of The Meridian Covenant, a four-part adult series.

Eminence {Book 1 ✔️} by Kennedylee

''Don't you remember, little flower?'' he asked, his voice low and melodic, ''Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.'' ''Perhaps,'' I whispered, ''But Shakespeare was referring to a man...'' He cocked his head in confusion, his eyes growing darker. I leaned forward on the throne and brought my eyes up to meet his in an obvious challenge. ''Not a Queen.'' ~~~~~~ There's a whole side to Mara Monroe that's keeping her from what she was born to do. Coincidentally, it's her human side. Mara's always known that she couldn't choose what family she was born into. Even if it comes with a crown she doesn't want, age-old rivalries she doesn't understand, and a bodyguard she can't seem to shake. There are those that would die before seeing Mara on the throne. Or worse. Kill. *completed Book One*

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."
