Cyra and Zephyr have never been completely ordinary, but it's never been a problem to them. They've been doing perfectly fine exploring the woods and being homeschooled by their mother. The difference is, now there's a new king of Eldrum, and he doesn't like changelings. When the king turns their world against them and the two are forced to flee, what will Cyra and Zephyr have to do to keep their freedom?

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Ever So Lightly- Book 1 by paisleypikachu

{COMPLETED} The stars disappeared seventeen years ago. A black night sky has mirrored a bleak existence for the people of Auros. The Gifted, humans with unique abilities to affect the world around them, have all but become extinct thanks to the dark reign of a usurper. And somehow Zephyr Elvy has managed to live her nineteen years in the blissful quiet of a small town next to the sea. Zephyr has always been content to keep to herself, and happy to live a simple, if uneventful, life. If only the universe had that in mind for her. Forced to flee the only place she has ever called home, Zephyr finds herself running through a world she has only ever read about, along with two soldiers who have deserted their posts to keep their consciences clean. With only a letter and a mysterious weapon as clues to why she's being hunted, Zephyr must face her own fears while discovering a whole new world of terrors at the hands of a queen she knows next to nothing about. Having never risked anything her entire life, Zephyr is forced to choose between apathy or action, hiding and keeping to herself, as she has always done, or taking a leap that could change the world she is just now getting to see. ***** Thank you SO MUCH for reading! I'm updating every Monday until this story is done, and I've been sitting on this one for almost three years so I'm really excited to finish it! I don't have any beta readers for this as I write, so please let me know if you notice anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that needs fixing! :)

COMING SOON! - Dawn and Demise (The Fated Series, #3) by _Hiraeth_Author_

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REWRITES - CHAPTERS WILL REPUBLISH AS EDITS ARE FINISHED!!! -Apologies to those who have read through Chapter 18 where I previously published. Edits will include character development changes, so unfortunately, and I apologize again, you may have to reread for clarification. Plot line is very similar, I just decided to take a character's development through another stage that changes their dialogue and POV a bit. ((FAIR WARNING: I do not update regularly because life gets too crazy sometimes, but I do my best.)) Come dawn the war begins. By dusk, demise reigns. Fourteen kingdoms united by the two prophesied elementals against one man and the beasts of the underworld. As the war begins in the central continent on the southern border of Vandaria, guarded by the armies of the Fae and Andrastrian allies, Darius and Fauna search for someone who could turn the tides of war. Decisions will be hard, sacrifices will be made, and the prophecy will come true and the asking price paid. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Unedited NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then. Thanks for reading!

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.
