Edit, this story is now on hiatus, but I'm not abandoning it. I need to do some editing and some housekeeping on it, But I'm leaving it up as it is until further notice




Long ago in the land of Heptamir, there was a kingdom. In this kingdom there was a palace and in this palace there lived a king. this king had a family like kings often do, a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. These little princesses were the light and laughter of the kingdom, the rose and daisy of Pascal. They would grow up to be beautiful young women the people would say, grow up to marry and carry on their families Legacy. The rose however was a bit different to her younger sister, preferring  swords to sewing and battles to a ball.

Unbeknownst to all in the kingdom, the rose was not a rose at all, but a dandelion flourishing in the shadows, growing through cracks in the rigid stonework of proper behavior and expectations. There were times it was hard for the dandelion to keep up the walls of her blushing pedal façade, Times when the yellow would shine through. It was the daisy  that helped in these times, excepting the young flowers differences without question. In the end it was she that helped the dandelion to fly free, far away from the field of their birth. This is the tale of truth, the truth of a dandelion.

(Or the story in which I take fantasy tropes, crack them over a bowl and scramble them like eggs in a frying pan.)

The Cursed Prince by missrealitybites
41 parts Complete Mature
"You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** SYNOPSIS: The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. A slave girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince.. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies when she found out he was actually more of an angel?

Darkest hours (G!P) by Blakesbooks19
6 parts Ongoing Mature
This world is set in the past. In a time where nothing was impossible, Where dragons fly above our heads. We learned to ride them, and become friends with them. We created artifacts that make our dragos small and then big again when we need them. That's what sets our world into two sides. A side where dragon riders lived and flew on them. And a side where they hated dragons, and the one that rode them. Even though we managed to work in peace, there was no war between us. Only fights that were under control and rules. In the Arena in the city called Aeloria. A city where there were both sides. They mostly ignored each other. But it was hard to get in this city. Mostly it was the people that lived there. And a few outsiders, but that was either the sellers, chosen group of warriors or dragon riders, and lastly the best fighters of the academies that went into the arena. To prove who is stronger and the winner will receive high quality weapons or any other things of their choice. One day the darkness came and war started. Not between us, but with a kingdom that was across the sea. And this battle or war changed everything we knew. I'm Ardyn, I'm on the side where we ride on dragons. And this story can be easy but also hard to understand. But I will still share it. But first we have to start from the beginning. What will this story bring? Will we be able to see the outcome? Let's wait and see. --------------------------------------------- "Get on!" Leora screams at Ardyn. Extending her hand for her to take. "No, I'm not getting there I hate ships." I shook my head and took a step back. Leora sighed and shook her head in mocked amusement. "Are you telling me you are able to fly on a dragon. But you are scared of standing on a ship. Don't make me laugh." "Yes. So what, I'm not getting on." I said angry and she grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

Phoenix Fire || Fairy Tail [1] by scribe-of-azaris

[BOOK 1: THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES] Published: [05/03/2017] Completed: [22/09/2017] HIGHEST RANKINGS: #2 in Assassin [04/12/2018] #19 in Anime [24/11/2018] #37 in Fairy Tail [23/11/2018] Warning: I know a lot of you are in this for the ships, so I'll let you know right now -- there isn't really any romance until the final two parts of the story (and no, Rose x Rogue is not a thing, lol... they're both so emo and socially awkward, it'd never work out XD). Also... Rose's character was created by my thirteen-year-old self. So please don't come at me about her edginess and her background, because this is just what my younger self thought would make a good novel ;-; cynical (adj); believing that people are motivated purely by self-interest, distrustful of human sincerity. [... description...] Rose is a phoenix slayer, living a quiet life in the shadow of the great guilds. In comparison to her turbulent past, life now is fairly calm. Exploring the kingdom, experiencing new things, avoiding humans... all those normal things. When Rose is coerced into joining Fairy Tail by her partner, she doesn't realise what it is she's getting into. It was only supposed to be a month or two at most. Just enough to prove that guilds and their like were never worth the trouble. But... Fairy Tail, Rose learns, is different. Different to anything she'd experienced in her past. Different enough that, maybe, she'd change. Maybe, she'd let go of her past, and strive to protect the future she's found with her new guildmates. The question is, does she? --- Disclaimer: Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. All characters besides the OC(s) are owned by him.

Rowans Choice by SPenBooks
44 parts Complete Mature
Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*

The one she loved most was attacked, almost dying because of someone's idiocy. And so she fought. She fought for her dying family, soon gaining the powers of the internal flame buried deep inside her. Screeching her painful cry, she fought in her new form with all her might.

Hey dark eye were gentle a she watched his physical pain disappear, his wounds sealed shut as he snatched her closer one more time.

Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace, for most, magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they have devoted their lives to its practice. These are the mages. Banded together into magical guilds they apply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born... a guide that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name... is Fairy Tail. In the ranks of this guild is an SS-Class wizard that goes by the name Izreldan Kamisureiya. Over a decade ago, he lost his parents when he was still quite young. One day, a monster was going to kill him, until he was saved by Old Sage one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He trained him, taught him magic, and treated him like a son. Before Old Sage leaves he tells Izreldan to go travel around the world and find new friends. He agreed to his proposal and allowed himself to travel around to find a new purpose.
