Josie is a twelve year old girl who has moved house with her family. They inherited their grandmother's old mansion, with a huge garden and secrets behind every door.
Josie finds an abandoned house inside the garden, insisting she saw a shadow there. When she finds out it isn't abandoned, instead used for hiding from a kidnapper, she tries to help the people living inside of it. But they're on the run from the kidnapper for a reason: they're all guilty of something, and one of them is a murderer. 

A betrayal hits Anna, a lie from Summer, and then the entire group handles Clockface: an untrustworthy danger sign, who could also be a possible ally. Clockface gives tips, but works with both the enemy and the friends. 
Who do you think Clockface is?

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school.

Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process.

Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart?

The Case of the Silent Psychic by fixer291
16 parts Ongoing
On a cold dark night, a storm raged, and a woman lay dying. In her life she had been a psychic who spoke to the dead, but who had wanted to stop her? And what secrets were they trying to hide? With all the mystic connections involved in her murder, the police are out of their depth. They need someone with more knowledge of the magical arts, and so the only hope they have for solving the case is to ask for help from the Fairy Detective Agency. Princess Elysia and her friends are no longer children, they have grown up and left the fairy realm. Now they have travelled through the veil and into the human realm, where the mysteries are darker and more gritty. Their fairy magic can help them crack the case in ways the police could only dream of... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: a young adult mystery novel. Kind of loosely inspired by the Rainbow Magic fairy books that I used to read to my daughter, and then imagining them being rebooted as a young adult drama in the style of Riverdale, or something like that kind of vibe. So if any of that sounds appealing, check it out.
Being Elle: A Story of Transformation and Feminization by AshleySLord
20 parts Ongoing Mature
Jordan was a confident man that used his charm to get his way, until one day when he encounters Selene, a mysterious character that places a curse on him to become the very object of his own desire. This story follows Jordan's journey as he navigates the curse of being transformed into a woman, and learning to love his new feminine life as Elle. _____________________ The harsh light flickered on and he gripped the edge of the sink, staring down at the counter, trying to steady himself. The pain subsided slightly, but something still felt wrong-deeply, fundamentally wrong. His breath came in shallow gasps as he slowly looked up at the mirror. His heart skipped a beat not expecting what he would see. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating. Standing in the reflection was a stranger-a woman. A gorgeous woman. Jordan blinked, his mind scrambling to make sense of what he was seeing. He looked beside himself, away from the mirror, instinctively expecting to see someone else in the bathroom with him, as if the reflection wasn't of himself but of someone else. No one was there though. It was just himself. He glanced back at the mirror, but no matter how hard he tried, the image in the mirror didn't change. The woman's eyes, wide and shocked, stared back at him, mirroring his every move. She was tall, curvy in all the right places, with long, dark hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Her full lips parted slightly, as if she too couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was him. He was her. _____________________ #1 in Sissy #2 in Genderswap #4 in Trans Note: This novel is for Mature Audiences ONLY. It does contain explicit, erotic scenes of sexual encounters and explores themes like feminization, domination, and more.
