The Witching Hour by nifty-nickel

She went missing a year ago. Her friends, unable to find her. Now, she haunts their dreams, begging to be found. Welcome to Malachi Peak, where not everything is as it seems. - Buried in the cemeteries on the outskirts of Malachi Peak are more than the bodies of past residents. With them rest hundreds of years worth of secrets, pushed down so far that they haven't seen the light of day. The witches, those left after the Salem Witch Trials, went west, desperate to find a new home. Prevailing, they settled in what would eventually be Malachi Peak, Oregon and became the first pentacle to consecrate the land. On one fateful Halloween, today's Pentacle came together to complete their final bonding ceremony. As they were in the middle of it, darkness blanketed them. When they could finally see, one had just...disappeared. Fast-forward a year, things are starting to fall apart. Whispers among the factions say the witches are weak, that it's time for new leadership. The witch is still missing. The year anniversary has passed of her disappearance. Most presume she is dead and others refuse to believe she's gone. As powers escalate and the missing witch sends the Pentacle signs, the remaining members will have to unite to find her. A/N Strong language. Updates Sundays and whenever else I want :) Cover art done by the awesome @annie1loves1you

To Kill a Witch (ONC 2024 SHORTLIST) by ixseesxblue

Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Malise is given one last chance to prove herself, or else, she'll be kicked out of her coven. And the world isn't safe for a witch on her own. Elvira hates witches and her only goal is to find a cure for her sister's magic. But when she gets put on trial for witchcraft herself, it changes everything she thought she knew. Enemies, and yet, they slowly find themselves bewitched by each other.

Once Upon A Selkie by CrystalScherer

On the run, Willow stumbles into a bandit ambush and is rescued by a lone traveler. He reluctantly agrees to help protect her on the forest paths if she can guide him to his destination. His distant demeanor suddenly changes after she returns his cloak, not realizing he is a selkie, nor aware that if someone returns a selkie's cloak, the selkie falls in love with them. As they travel, she discovers that he's everything she ever wanted in a husband, but learns that it comes at a cost - and that cost is his freedom. Note: If you're looking for a typical lore-based selkie story, I'm afraid you won't find it here. But if you're looking for a hopeful selkie and an uninformed human, then you have come to the right place. ONC 2025 awards: Ambassador's pick award, Round 2 winner, and Short List award.

Being Elle: A Story of Transformation and Feminization by AshleySLord

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 #1 in MTF #1 in Genderswap #2 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.
