Everyone in his father's kingdom and from kingdoms around were invited, and that meant he and his friends could dance with all the beautiful eligible bachelorettes, and perhaps sneak a bottle or two of the wine for later.  Yet as the night went on, a night which was suppose to be fun and splendor ended up becoming a night of murder and horror.  As years went by everyone came to know of that night as when the Royal family's life ended, however to Christopher it was the night when he became cursed for all eternity.

From the moment when Karolenia strikes a deal to save her family from her kidnapper whom the hooded figures call their King, Karolenia's life instantly becomes one dark fairytale.  

 
Will Karolenia be able to escape and when she is given the chance, will she want to? There's only one way to find out!

A Time Traveling Fairytale by ElsaS7
56 parts Complete
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.

This is no ordinary love story. Two vampire princes battle their parents to gain the right to love each other- their mates. One comes from a long line of Draculas and will in fact be the next Dracula on the throne which means that he will be ruler over all vampire kind. Another comes from a line of royal French blood mixed with a family secret of long ago and quite a few secrets threaten to change everything. Paris Grimm, a brother missing his other half, meets his mate one night in a music room in Transylvania and finds that his love is forbidden, but he can't get Richardo Dracula out of his head, the dark prince who doesn't respect the laws made years ago for order. In order to be with the one he loves, he has to challenge everything and win or else he'll be torn apart from the love of his life. After all, this kind of love only comes once every few thousand years. Who wouldn't fight for it even if everyone thought it was wrong to not marry who your parents arranged for and definitely sinful to marry a male or bite another pureblood. Not only does Paris have this on his mind, but his twin enters his life again, having been separated at birth from each other. Their parents did dark things in the past, selling off one of the twins and raising the remaining one as the rightful heir to the throne and an only child. ~This is another story by EmeryHowl11~ *This is a remake of the original Screams of Insanity series*

Rell and The Rose by hjnelson
60 parts Complete
A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.
