Once upon a time... Far, far away...
That's how all tales start, don't they? Mother would know. But Mother's gone and Corbin has to learn how to deal with eerily familiar voices coming from the misty forest, mysterious boys with charming smiles in the blooming fields, and cruel stepmothers taking over your manor and making you their personal servant.
Of course, finding the reason why most people think you're a bloodthirsty monster is that you're half-Fae does throw a bit of a spanner in the works...
He can only hope this will all work out in the end.

UNDER HIS CONTROL
"It's funny how a small, foolish belief can either bloom into something that brightens your life... or destroy it entirely. That's exactly what happened to me- the boy who everyone looked at as if he were bad luck, a curse, a sin that should've never existed in this already damned world. But what happens when you start believing it yourself? When you're forced to witness the terrifying sight of a corpse in the pitch- black darkness? It didn't end there. Because of that so-called bad luck... I met you. You became my bad luck. You became my eternal curse. ⚠️Content warning: This story explores dark and sensitive themes.

King Make Believe
" One advanced, then two. Soon I was running from five of them. My legs ached as branches lashed and scratched my cheeks. They were gaining as the sting in my tendons worsened. I would be caught, they would kill me. I wouldn't even make it to fifteen. I sobbed as I continued to run. I wouldn't give up until my final breath. I would keep running and running and running until no more was required of me. " This futuristic novel is about a world where a vicious mist roams, tainting human beings and often killing them or making them unnaturally weak. All tainted by the Mist are subjects to an evil god whom many believe in. In this world, a young boy is born tainted, a rare occasion. He is a prince and born into a life of scorn and overprotection.

Ephemeral
"In a multitude of miracles, you'll always come back, like the wide, gaping mouth of a gift horse, you'll always come back but never, never again as yourself." Soulmate. The romanticized concept of belonging to someone is not novel nor fictional. Some people have Lady Luck on their side that they get to spend a seemingly eternal journey with their fated someone. However, others don't have that luxury. Some of them have waited lifetimes just to catch a glimpse of that outlandish phenomenon where their souls would sing the hymn of love. The juxtaposition of the two abovementioned fates couldn't be more clearer with Zivry Augh Sanders and Yvonne Christopher Niles. Zivry Augh Sanders wants to transcend the limitations of time. Yvonne Christopher Niles wants to stop time, even for a little while. Their contrasting views are beyond apparent that it's a miracle that their worlds collide. In an epic spin of whims, they get what they wish. However, as what Rumpelstiltskin once said: magic comes with a price. Are they willing to pay for it? In a blink of an eye, their epic fairytale turns into something inconceivable. This time, time itself turns the table and puts them into a test. Are they really supposed to be each other's eternal soulmates? Or are they just parallel souls doomed to meet and to be forever apart? - Completed: 04/07/20 Cover design by: @Ishanwadhwa123Complete![Once Upon A Time [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/326243017-256-k576831.jpg)

Essence of Purity [boyxboy]
Book 1 of Rewritten: The Inamorate Saga. The great reveal had been beneficial for some. Elves, particularly, with their beauty and grace and quiet manipulation of the world around them. They thrived in the light, able to infiltrate human structure with ease, carving out a place for their kind at the most crucial of times. Their leaders set down territory lines, segregating cities and even states for themselves, for the growth of their people. They flourished, building their empire on the backs of those withered beneath. Fae, however, didn't find such a foothold. They remained in the darkness, hidden away in the tangles of forest untouched by humans, trapped within their clans. The dark ages reigned through those woodlands, void of modern technology and any shade of defiance. Monarchs ruled, surrounded by warriors, enforcing their law upon the common people. Outside, there was talk of abuse, of forced subjugation, whispers from those fae that had made it, that had escaped. Salem had chosen to remain silent. Five years had passed, not a soul knew of the clan he had fled. He had a family, three brothers who had taken him in, who had chosen to house him rather than barter money for the purity he still held. There was a normality to the world, to the life that Salem had forged. There was no reason for change, nothing to draw him back into that inky abyss he had clawed out of. Nothing but a tree flowering ivory petals housed in the estate of one of the most influential elves in their city...Complete
Once A Tale (MXM, BXB)
Once upon a time a snow king fell for an apathetic servant, then a prince-turned-bear found true love in a fellow prince who almost shot him in the face. Almost. Then, of course, one can't forget a monster who found himself wanting to be more human. Bit by bit. For love. Protagonists quirky and not, sarcastic and witty and a bit too self-aware. Every fairy tale has their typical happy ending but it looks as though these ones had to take detours and backtrack on the way to theirs... oh well. As long as it ends well, who cares if it's a little bit odd. Each story is its own stand-alone tale of romance, though there may be bonus shorts for some.Complete
