"Oh really? You'd be able to explain why you have balls on your chest rather than between your legs?"


---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 

When Prince Rowan's father is killed in an attack on a ride into the town, a special army is put together to fight the growing rebel army comprising of the older generation of guards that had served his father before him.

What he had expected was a band of men strong enough to bring down the towers of Einheim and not a bunch of green boys and the fiery haired lad with insane archery skills that hated his best friend with his guts.

What happens when he discovers the scandalous secret the young man is hiding? And his fear, not only because of the scandal it would bring, but also because they would face a danger that they most likely wouldn't survive.

What would he do when he would have to pick between saving the girl and letting his father's killer go?

Would he put aside his feelings for the girl or would he pick his heart over his kingdom?

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 

When Joana's father volunteers to take up his sword and fight in the upcoming war against the rebels responsible the late kings death, her only option is to cut her hair and take up his place in his stead.

The only problem is: one, she was a girl with little training on sword play and two, how was she supposed to hide her identity as a girl in the midst of a solely male population with the Prince and his top General watching her every move?

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

When Ian's best friend and childhood companion asks him to join his special army, he had wasted no time jumping at the oppurtunity hungry for the taste of war. 

What he had expected was a band of strapping young men and glorious battles not the red haired lady who'd stop at nothing to be in the army even if it would cost her her life and his sanity.

Torn between protecting her secret and saving his best friends life, what will he do when they are tasked with getting the King back to Myonmar safely?

Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late-night conversations and lingering silences. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom...or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

25 parts Complete Mature
What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

The Other Silver Lady by Gienevere
127 parts Ongoing
The daughter of Persinia has been alone all her life, tucked away in a forgotten corner of the imperial palace with her sole maid as she spends her days reading books and attending a mandatory ball once in a while. Life is quiet for the most part...that is, until one day, she stumbles upon a book in the library that predicts the future! And this one says she will die when a lost princess shows up in a few years and all of her siblings will kill her to protect their new, favorite sister! Now our princess realizes that if she wants to live, she has to be strong enough to do everything herself - wield aura to counter aura blades, wield magic to protect herself from magicians, and know alchemy to protect herself from a poison-happy consort of the emperor keen on making sure her son is the last one standing as heir to the throne. In an empire waging an eternal war against the darkness just to exist, our princess finds herself picking up new skills, new friends, new enemies, and a lot more importance in the palace than before all while trying to just make herself unkillable so she can live silently reading books. Will she be able to unravel all the mysteries of the world that she wants to, or will all of the tasks the emperor asks of her and the troubles she creates for herself keep her from existing in peace? Will she be able to escape the palace before the "silver lady" of that book appears, or is her death inevitable? Well...Mephie doesn't really care, to be honest. She just wants everyone to stop bugging her so she can finally finish the latest book she's been reading...especially those annoying knights...and, well, everyone else too.
The Game II Draco Malfoy x Reader by xiri_xera
9 parts Complete Mature
"Was it all just a big game to you? Did you just want to make me think that I can be loved and then throw me out like you do to all the others? Fuck, and to think that I trusted you" "No, you know what's my want? Let me show you. Let me love you. Let me be the one you do everything with" "Stop trying to win this stupid game. Go on and be happy, I lost." "You think you lost? Love, you could be anything but wrong because I lost ages ago." Senior year at Hogwarts can't get more chaotic. With secret romances, stolen glances, private meetings and sizzling tension, the game seemed to reach an all time high. But with death, warnings, lies and forbidden promises swirling around, they can either trust each other or torture themselves. But is it really a problem if, in the name of love (or possibly, deception), one crosses some boundaries? Is it really a problem if you stand in a blood bath, searching for the one person you trust to put a knife in your heart? And is it really a problem if you have a knife in your heart and the person who holds the dagger makes you feel that maybe dying isn't so bad if your last moments are ones drowning in their eyes. You know what they say. All's fair in love and war. In this case, however. Both. -------------------------- Draco Malfoy x Reader tropes: rivals to lovers, forbidden romance, brother's best friend, dark romance, dark academia, forced proximity, "who-did-this-to-you", found family, one bed, fake dating, childhood enemies, family saga, no-strings attached, fwb, touch-her-and-die, found family This story doesn't rely on smut for plot.
