The Elsecomer fae broke the world 25 years ago, conquering and stealing all the big cities.  A kid I used to babysit just Changed into a mountain troll, but hasn't eaten anyone yet, and she wants someone to ride with her to the maximum security prison where the military keeps useful strangelings. But the Box isn't what the outside world thinks it is, and the guy running things there can tell I'm not who I said I was on my paperwork...

The setting for this world is inspired by mainly by post-apocalyptic sci-fi, Shadowrun, and Changeling: the Dreaming. I've tried to create a complicated world, where everything has changed and is still changing, with dramatically competing interests and plenty of monsters but no clear cut villains. Industry has been largely destroyed so solarpunk and permaculture ideas are included. 

Content warnings: People swear, drink, have sex, and sometimes use drugs. 

As of late May, the book is about 2/3rds written (40+ chapters) and I plan to post a new chapter every day or two. Really looking for feedback, please leave comments!

** This is book one of a three book series. The other two are on Amazon but I started writing the story on wattpad and wanted to keep it here for memories. Enjoy! ** _____________________________________________ "Beautiful women always fall for me." Sarcasm was laced in her words. "Glad to know i'm just a number to you." He stopped crawling beside her and dropped his joking manner as he saw the dark haired girl had grown visibly upset. Kandor shook his head, "I don't dream of you that way in the slightest, Chrissa." Her eyes shifted to his lips, and then back up at his eyes. "W-we shouldn't get distracted." --------------------------- On a dark night before supper, princess Chrissa's world turns upside down as her palace is being invaded, and she suddenly has to flee from her murderous fiancé Stephen who is only after one thing. A sacred thing. Her palace ring-so that he can reverse time, and become the most powerful in all of the land of the Fae. Quickly, it is learned she needs to flee to Endlaysha-where all the other royals go to hide. As she's being accompanied by a dashing palace gaurd-Michael, feelings arise that she wishes would go away. Chaos occurs as they are captured by the Vampire King, and he takes them as prisoners. Would you eventually be able to save the world from selfish Fae creatures and Vampires who will stop at nothing to obtain power greedily? Would you even want to? Especially when you're Vampire Kings' latest obsession... ----------------------------- [Trigger warning: Mature themes, and 18+ content.] #1 youngwritersshortstory February 2021 #1 adult content March 2021 #4 in faeries March 2021 #8 in monarchy october 2021 #5 gothic romance october 2022 #2 vampire royalty october 2022 #2 wattpad creator october 2022 #2 in faeries November 2022

Adaptation into english of "La Compagnie du Lys de Sang", my original work already on Wattpad. Earth post-Covid 19. Or a paralel Earth? Doesn't really matter. Humanity evolved. Not necessarily in a good way. And I, dumbass that I am, have decided to tell the story of a Company of mercenaries in the Middle-East. A Company falling into decline. Until that fateful day... Edit: My friend and fan @Chikaras has written "hot" chapters that come in between mine. Well, I call that hot, she calls that smut (which it is). They are well written and fit the story very well, but because my story is for teens and up, I can't include them in the main story. If you find this story on others websites (teenfic not to name it), know that I don't have an account there and that my stories have been stolen by them. Also, don't click on a teenfic link, they'll put malwares on your device. and finally, click here to have teenfic closed: https://www.change.org/p/ivan-yuan-shut-down-teenfic-net
Moonlight's Embrace (A Skyrim Fanfic) (ORIGINAL) by TheRussetNightingale

I don't know what I did to deserve this. Sundering of my soul, the destruction of all I held dear. Well, that's a bit dramatic, but hey. I've got to tell my story, don't I? Though I'll admit... perhaps the savior of the world isn't quite so honorable as she should have been. Let's get the exposition over with-- Why in all of Tamriel did I sell my goddamn soul?! ------- Hello! This story is currently being rewritten as Moonlight's Eclipse. It's quite the improvement! Take a look at my profile if you're interested! -------- Highest rankings: #1 in Brynjolf (01/05/19, 09/18/23) #1 in Scrolls (06/22/18) #1 in Skyrim (09/13/20, 11/02/22) ------- Morning Star=January Sun's Dawn=February First Seed=March Rain's Hand=April Second Seed=May Midyear=June Sun's Height=July Last Seed=August Heartfire=September Frostfall=October Sun's Dusk=November Evening Star=December ----------------------------- Original description: Are you kidding me? I went to Riften for a break. Being an adventurer isn't exactly an easy job all the time. Yet the first thing I do is get mixed up in the Thieves Guild. I must be a damn genius. Contains suggestive themes, strong language, alcohol use, and heavy descriptions of gore. Rated PG-13. ___
Shield of the North by KiraHagen
7 parts Complete Mature
A closeted half-elf goes to an SCA reenactment camping event, and pointy ears are definitely not period. Redcap slavers attack and it's up to half-trained, 19 year old Dusty to buy time for the fighters to get back. The Children of the Broken Dawn series takes place 20-some years after a faery apocalypse, when humanity has lost all its cities, wireless tech, and most industry... but still indulges in daft hobbies, especially of the sort to help you survive a low tech future. Enjoy my total Mary Sue of a character kicking MAGA-cap wearing troll butt! Based on years of reenactment camping experience and my high school friends. No romance in this one, it's half fight scenes and the other half snarking about reenactments. Enjoy, and if you like this short story "Children of the Broken Dawn 1: Opener of Ways" picks up about 2 days after this one leaves off. Content warnings: Alcohol, shroom mead, redneck orcs
Second No More, a novel by imaginationgirl35
33 parts Complete Mature
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her. For readers: * I do my best to proofread before publishing, but some typos and errors will slip through. Feel free to point them out! * Comments, active engagement, and helpful critiques are welcomed. * Mean, unnecessary comments that attack me, personally, or other commenters will be ignored and deleted.

I'd like to keep this a safe and fun place to rage at imperfect heroes and cheer for darling heroines! * I'm not a spicy writer. I rather use my word count for plot, character development, and GROVEL!!! * Most importantly, I hope you enjoy the little world I'm creating. Happy reading, everyone! ADS/Imaginationgirl35
Shadow Breeds by redwitchx
27 parts Complete Mature
Book 1 of The Shadow Series. Myths, that's what the humans called it, but for Ashe it quickly became her reality. Her life changing transformation narrowed her paths down to two; She could either embrace her fates and save the people she's grown to love, or she can walk away and live a somewhat normal life while others suffer the consequences. How far is she willing to go to create peace where there's never been any? Will she even create peace? Or will she help encourage the most brutal war the Shadow Realms have ever experienced? Several years of Asheland's childhood had disappeared from her memory. She assumed it was her brain trying to protect her from a traumatic event, although that's true it's not exactly what she expected and her brain wasn't necessarily the cause. After being homeless until she was sixteen years old, then living in a boat dock for four years, she had finally found her home in a cottage in the near-by mountains of Wolf Creek. Everything seemed to be going well. However, as a list of secrets begin unraveling when Ashe gives in to her overwhelming urges to visit the island that terrified almost every citizen in Wolf Creek, her life becomes more complicated than she could've ever imagined. All of this just because she was turning twenty-one. Nothing was as it had ever seemed. * excerpt from the book * { "Why do you make such reckless, impulsive decisions?" The old man asked as we watched the moon. "The world could end tomorrow and everyone expects me to live in fear today? There's no life to live inside the box of fear, there's no freedom in there," I replied softly. }
The Hidden Truth (Book 1) by Queen_of_spice

It felt like it was just yesterday I was simply a princess, living under the guidance of my parents. I remember the days when I was an innocent girl, wanting to rule over my people independently. The girl who spoke gracefully, but had the tongue of a snake when felt threatened. The princess who was ready for a battle and could wheel any weapon handed to her, and could take down her enemies within seconds. But now since my time on earth, I was no longer the simple princess, with a hot temper. Somehow me coming to earth had changed my life, entirely. I discovered the truth about my past, about me and my kingdom, that I didn't know exist. Changing my entire life and forcing me to grow into the Queen I was meant to become. This is my story, the version all Helixian history book failed to tell, about THE HIDDEN TRUTH. *************************** During my time on wattpad I have read numerous books but they were mostly of Caucasian decent and I could barely find a book about a black woman who was strong and could defeat all odds, but instead are used as sex objects, in my book there will be an inclusion of every race whether it be mixed or not just so everyone feels included.

***This book has been stolen by a predatory site without my consent, including the cover I made, this blurb, and all chapter contents within. I will no longer be uploading chapters. I will not feed the site in question more of my content. However, if I delete this book, it won't be deleted there, so I would lose all evidence that this story is mine originally. I'm sorry, but I'm only one of thousands of victims of the blatant and egregious plagiarism and copyright infringement made by the repulsive website I found my content on.*** For millennia, a magical barrier around the Sand Sea prevented an endless force of darkness from drowning the world. As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.
