WARNING: This may be a slow burner. The story is intriguing me and I want to make it something meaty, something more than a short story, something I can be really proud of. The problem is I have very little time, so updates may be sporadic. Bear with me, I want to do it justice, so research will be involved - this may make it take longer still :)

It's the story of a young Anglo Saxon woman, intelligent and somewhat willful, whose world is turned upside down by the arrival of brutal strangers. It is also the story of those strangers, what they meant for the people and places they encountered, and the legacies they left behind.

Never Meant To Be [Ongoing] by assure5

Prologue " WELCOME Princess of Panikkar, I'm your new master and I hope you had a great journey." Hearing this the young princess remained silent but looked straight into his eyes with regal authority, this unbreakable courage, aura and stature of hers made his blood boil and he spoke fuming from rage, " You must learn to bow and please your master from today otherwise you and your great kingdom will face the consequences. So I order you to kneel before me. NOW!." Standing under his roof at his mercy the princess had the guts to look down on him in front of his men, not bulging from her place. He lost his last straw of patience and drew out his sword. "ENOUGH YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN INSECT UNDER MY BOOTS I CAN CRUSH YOU AT ANY MOMENT. YOU BREATHE UNDER THIS ROOF AT MY MERCY DON'T TAKE MY PATIENCE FOR GRANTED." He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath before saying "So be a good girl obey orders and KNEEL BEFORE ME!!" But the princess stood her ground, her principles against bowing to the enemy, it's either to kill or die with honour. This action made him want to break her courage and pride into pieces. He promised that one day this princess would bend the knee and much more before him. ************************************************************************* A ruthless, British officer who is famously known as the 'Battle Lord' is posted to India to lead the war held against the Rajput Kings and bring them under the British government rule. A young, courageous Rajput Princess who is loved by everyone, isn't aware of the enemies sitting outside who are going to take her happiness away soon. ============================================================= This story and the characters, names, and places are completely fictional.

A Witches Home by astroskywalker

SUMMARY: A witch who has been shunned by her people and the world is hunted down. Her birth was foretold "to bring blessings ... or death to us all." The risks outweighed the rewards so all witches agreed; if she were ever to appear she would be killed on sight. Her mother knew the risks but she loved her child even if she was destined to bring harm to the world. She knew her daughter would bless this world if only she could be accepted. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case so she whisked her newborn away and safely hid for 17 years. On the day of Astrid's 18th birthday, everything changed. She was betrayed and fleeing in the chaos she lost control and blacked out... "Wait where am I...?" [Hello host and welcome to the Training Island. My name is Link and this is your starting point here in the Beastworld.] "... WHAT THE F-" ***A/N *** This is my own original story with my own characters. This story is based on the beast worlds that I have read but this will be a completely new story so no one come for me this is just for fun. Do NOT copy. I'm writing as I publish so if you have any ideas or comments on the story let me know and I can try to add it in. Updates on Fridays. ***MATURE CONTENT*** AKA smut and there will also be scenes of abuse mental/ physical so you've been warned. If smut will put a 🍋. I also curse a lot so if that bothers you sorry not sorry.

The Dale Heron by LathanDeLaet

Gossip is rife in Bridbydale when the Bonners arrive in the village. Amongst other mysteries, the central one perplexing the villagers most is "Has anyone actually seen Mrs Bonner?". An unnamed visitor seems the unlikeliest to learn the truth, but he is the unwitting recipient of just that from Mr Bonner himself, who unburdens himself of the history of how he came to be in the village and the tale of the mysterious woman who accompanied him. From ruralest Yorkshire to London and back again, this long short story hopes to tempt those interested in the macabre, the fantastical and the unsettling. I'm trying to play with the idea of ingrained misogyny and the lessons we fail to learn at various stages in our treatment of women. --- If you're interested... BEHIND THE SCENES! Writing is a process, and in this work I had one specific goal: write a short story. It's something I haven't done since I was in seventh grade, and I wanted to see if I could do it. Things ended up much longer than I anticipated. I like the beginning frame story, but it's perhaps too long and I don't know how well it sits with the rest. Because I hate to name characters, the middle is more of a muddle in places. Even though it's brief, I found that the story in my head still moved me, especially towards the end as Ardea's fate becomes clear. I'm not sure how well what was in my head translated to the page, but still I am proud of it even if it really could do with some polishing. After seeing how long this story ended up, I wrote a short riff on it called "Naturans | Naturata" (also on WattPad) to see if I could economise. The two stories ended up quite different, although they do share some plot points and prose. There may be a third version in the future if I can find the right balance between the stories and what I really want to say. Feedback is always welcome!

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr

She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.

The Forbidden Saga G×G by Luilfr

Once the last of a Christian mans blood was spilled upon their holy ground an axe blade shined bright within the suns graceful rays. Behind its hilt stood a woman in her prime a hardened face scared with battle warn by her duties to her Jarl. Yet from a far you could see the mans head hang from a wooden pike seamlessly placed there by the Christian armies master a man who's name carried too much weight in silver for only one Dane to carry on her own. Sigurd was her name a title she took upon herself once her flesh met glory when she herself was but an infant. ***disclosure this story has nothing to do with Assassins Creed Valhalla it is a tale my heart wished to share with you for a long time now.***

Traversing Through Beastmen World by ElectraEmerose

Bree was a modern girl reborn into the world of shifters, as a bunny. This was obviously a cruel joke since she had died in her previous life by being mauled. In this new world, females were few due to the warlike environment. The different clans would constantly fight over land and resources. Females were considered the most valuable resource. If females refused to find at least two mates by the time they matured, they would be sold. You didn't want to be sold. Sold females were considered property and would get a mark of slavery on them. Because females were so expensive, they were usually bought by whole communities to be shared by unmated males. The mark of slavery prevented them from contracting a mate and therefor accumulating power and territory. You needed to create a strong home by contracting with powerful shifters. After contracting, they would receive your mark and become your champion. They would fight for your honor, use their magic ability for your benefit, and provide for you. In return, you were expected to produce eggs. Males could be the leader of a clan, but a female could take over large territories by contracting the strong clan leaders. After expanding her territory, a female would be considered nobility. The stronger their champions, the better their resources and territory. Larger area's typically had one queen female and her court made up of nobility. Every double full moon, they would fight for the honor to have their female enter the queen's court. At the end of the queen's reign, she could choose a new queen from her court. In the midst of all this, Bree discovered her own magic power, 'Otome Gamer.' While Bree is trying to fulfill her quests, and an ultimate goal that would change everything, a frightening darkness is spreading, and shifters start to disappear. Along her journey, Bree makes friends and discovers that fated mates actually exist. Please don't copy or steal my story or ideas. Thanks 🥰

VIKING AND THE TIGRESS. by Central_vee

She was never one to be swayed... Trained to have a hard exterior from when she was just a fledgling, she had a hard time confronting these conflicting sentiments that'd raided her. She was never one to be religious... But after the incident, she prayed to whatever god there was. She was never one to believe in love... But the outcome of that history brought along a foreign feeling, one that she always pleaded to be freed from. She was one to be strong, to completely dispose of problems that may arise to be an issue. She believed in her power and knew that only she took whatever means to get to where she was. She was one to fight like never before, not caring if they had families. But... Now she'd gone soft, and she knew it. So it was either she disposed of the root of her problems, or be disposed. ~×~ Betrayed by her friend and ditched on her supposed lover, she is being imprisoned for what she thought was right after her last hope of family abandons her. Now banished from the Kingdom to an unknown land, the young female must find a way to survive and have her revenge. But alas, the damned gods were never on her side this time to begin with. It's a tug of war, and time's running out. Who will win? Will it be the tigress? Or shall the Vikings conquer? Find out in... THE VIKING AND THE TIGRESS.
