Edward Nelson is an arrogant new doctor, fresh out of the Philadelphia Medical School, who abides by his Aunt Margaret Thompson's request to come to the Eastern Kentucky settlement and apprentice under her husband, Dr. Henry Thompson. Mrs. Thompson, a former society lady of Philadelphia, herself, secretly hopes Dr. Nelson takes over the practice completely so her husband can retire and rescue her from a state of loneliness.
An Appalchian Story pitches the old against the new, unconventional medicine against proven science and the innocent beauty of a country girl against the refined and educated charms of an aristocratic doctor.All Rights Reserved

In 1600s Virginia, a small colonial village sprang up unceremoniously on the sacred burial grounds of the Native American people it was taken from, the Nottoway. Now, an ancient evil has been awakened in the form of Elementals known as The Bird People and it is suspected that the Nottoway Tribe has cursed the ground in revenge for being encroached upon by colonial settlers. After failed crops, still births, deaths, burnt homes and facing starvation, superstitions run rampant and the townspeople do the only thing they can think of in the late 1600s to appease these angry and destructive spirits. Give them an offering. It is quietly decided by the elders of the community, in an effort to keep these spirits of the bird people at bay, that every woman should give up her first born infant daughter to them.

In order to keep her only child, a daughter, she makes a baby out of straw and gives that instead, bringing chaos to their puritan village. A cursed girl. The man who loves her. A questionable death.

Mama Hale -A Derek Hale Fanfiction ~~REWRITE~~ by LenaHamilton9

Lyrica Hale, the wife of Derek Hale, teaches Musical History at Beacon Hills High School. She's a werewolf, bitten and turned at the age of 14. The day she was turned, a mark appeared on the base of her neck, replacing the nasty bite. She had no clue what it was, a confusing black triskele with a bunch of letters around it. She tried to ignore it, until she met Derek and Laura Hale when she was 16, and everything fell into place. Lyrica and Derek move from their happy home in Ohio back to the place that brought Derek so much pain, when his older sister, Laura, calls for help. Lyrica and Derek were never used to being around a lot of people. So, understandably, they're a little overwhelmed when so many teenagers begin relying on them. //Hello!

If you haven't read the story, that's okay! This one is more or less the same, just fixed up and written better.

The problem for Cade is that the accusations are only false because of a technicality: His magic's not witchcraft. It's Cunning. But either way, semantics are the least of Cade's concerns. Problem #1 is Mrs. Nora Pellar and the magic in her touch. Problem #2 is the Pinkerton that's been resurrected from his past. Problem #3 is that to solve the first two, Cade needs to embrace his magic. Which leads to Problem #4: He'd sooner die than become a Cunning Man. || Primary Prompt: #22 || Secondary Prompt: #63 ||
