CURRENTLY ON HIATUS
Fifteen year-old Isla Raj had always wanted to embark on a beautiful, exciting adventure, to, perhaps, an exotic country or a vast ocean. Little did she expect that, one day, the grandest adventure of her life would come to her.
A mysterious bookshelf appears in the young adult section of the library, a section that Isla is very familiar with. When she inquires at the front desk about the recent addition, the librarian assures her that the shelf has been there since the library's opening. Chagrin and quite convinced something mysterious is taking place, Isla can't resist checking out a few of the strange new books.
Later, as she and her closest friend, Robin, are inspecting the volumes, they make an astounding discovery that leaves them falling through a portal and landing in a fantasy land. Florinth is the realm out of every reader's wildest imagination, a beautiful kingdom that boasts wondrous sights and creatures. The more they explore, the more Isla and Robin find themselves in awe of this mysterious world they've stumbled upon.
However, the day the two had planned to return home, disaster strikes. They find themselves with no option other than to help save the kingdom from the most dangerous threat it's faced in, apparently, centuries. Otherwise, they may never see their beloved hometown again.
Occasional language, nothing too colorful. :)

Killing Chivalry
Airyn is great at making poor life choices, but she has to admit bringing home an injured, sword-wielding stranger she met in the middle of the night in a park is probably the peak of stupidity. Then she finds herself offering to help dodge the police and show him around town. The more time she spends with him, the more she thinks he's off his meds, or she's the victim of a television prank show. There's no such thing as magic, and he can't really be a knight in shining armor, but for once her life isn't boring. When the portal back to his world stands open before her, she can't let him disappear from her life. She takes his hand and follows him to his world, swearing to help him finish his quest and save a princess. Without trains, showers, or coffee.Complete
A Song of Faithless Shadows
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

The Mystics Of Valenthia
"So who the heck am I?" I stared defiantly at Freya. "I am a normal person. I go to high school. I have parents. What am I ?" I asked. "That is what we need to find out. Do you trust us enough to stay with us? Help us? You are powerful. You are the only Palenthian, first time in centuries who has magic inside her. Powerful magic. More powerful than most Valen. I can feel it. Stay with us and help us slay monsters. Please." I gulped. "What will I get for that?" "Answers." Renna Evans was just another normal girl in another normal world, living with her normal (and filthy rich) parents and going to a normal high school. Basically her life was as normal as could be. Until she went on a normal walk on a hill side. Little did Renna know that from that point, her life would be anything but normal. Welcome to the world of Renna Evans; a world which is divided into two parts. Those who call themselves The Valenthians, possessing power and magic; and those without it are the Palenthians. What is Renna, really? Will she be able to do what is called upon her? Will she be able to place the pieces of the puzzle which will give her the perfect (or heart-shattering) picture of her past? Will she be able to prove her worth in this new world? Or will her world collapse? And what about the handsome but mysterious Ryan Carter? What exactly is he hiding? Renna will discover a world of peace and war, love and hatred, trust and betrayal; all in her single quest for one thing. FREEDOM.Complete

How to Train Your Dark Lord (ManxMan) (on pause)
This story is on pause and will be re-writtien. ********** Eryndir, a third-rated failure of a mage, wakes up in a parallel reality in which he is the Dark Lord who has terrorized the entire world for a decade. It turns out that the evil Eryndir in the alternative reality is killed by a hero protagonist, who turns out, scandalizingly, was the Dark Lord's secret lover. The Dark Lord's ally, the scary Death Knight, summons the lame edition of Eryndir from another reality to assume the Dark Lord's identity so their Dominion of Terror will remain stable and powerful. Being called worthless and useless his whole life, Eryndir has to tap into his inner villain to survive in a reality in which everyone hates his guts, and even the ones who he cares will betray him at any second. The Death Knight is not pleased that he gets the worst version of the Dark Lord of all possibilities, but he is determined to train the shitty mage into a proper tyrant. Besides, controlling and dominating the Dark Lord would have been fun, wouldn't it? ********** Eryndir (Nytherion, the Dark Lord): 60 years old elf (equivalent to 25 years old human) Ravenlocke (the Death Knight): 150 years old human-turned undead This story is on pause

As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away. Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone. The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies. --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words]Complete
