As readers, we all feel like books are magic. But in Alia's world, they really are-or The Book is, at least. They say it was a gift from the gods, the source of the magic that runs through Beldara and a way to document the amazing adventures of the Heroes. Alia has always been fascinated by the Book and its wonderful stories, but her gender and birth mean she can never join the priesthood and tend to the storytelling magic.

But when something goes wrong in the latest chapter of the Story, only Alia's ability for reading has a chance at unraveling the mystery. She'll have to fight her way against great odds--first against the willpower of her elders and then against the terrors of the outside world--if there's to be any chance at success. Good thing she has a few Heroes at her side... Or is it?

Golden Child [Rewriting] by evergreenity

#NaNoWriMo 2016 Book One in the Tales from the Filii Aurea Series IN THE BEGINNING, they say, the Aetherei Matrem fell in love with a Celestial Being, and produced a line of children like none other, each with their own special abilities, and each with ichor flowing through their veins. They were her Filii Aurea, her Golden Children, and they were to inherit the earth. A couple centuries down the line, and the Filii Aurea are struggling to stay alive. With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race. Avani Sai and Nuri Bachmann need to find the last remaining descendent of the great Milo Aro, and possibly the last cursed Child, and defeat Aziel Aro. That might not be their biggest concern, however. A charming stranger from the Sovereign Capital and a dark force lurking in the streets seem to pose a bigger threat than perpetual genocide.

Out of Time by theeternalscribe

Danielle Carpenter has lived a life some might call boring, but she'd always loved language, and however much her parents might say specializing in Old English is a useless waste of life, it was her passion. But things are about to change. A seemingly harmless pastime leaves her life in shambles; with all she had ever held dear gone, her life is boiled down to just struggling to stay alive. When, months later, she is rescued, it isn't to return to the life she once knew, but to one she's wholly unprepared for. She scrambles for a grasp on things as legend and reality blend. Should she let the legend play out to its foregone conclusion? Or should she try for a happily ever after for all, and the consequences be damned... *This is my 2016 NaNoWriMo project, so enjoy and as always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.*

WORD COUNT: roughly 12100 notes: 1. This is kinda an old draft. It will be lightly edited, but only a one-time readthrough. if you notice a mistake, please tell me. I will reply with 'fixed' to notify anyone who sees the comment at a later date that it is no longer there. 2. Originally a NanoWriMo project, I pretty much wrote the entire thing in one Sunday afternoon... so, yeah. horrible pacing. 3. I sucked at writing battles.... a few of those happen. 4. Adrian and Gale were originally different characters. If you see the name Gale anywhere, know that's because I was editing at times I shouldn't have been conscious, let alone editing.

The Octopus Queen (A Little Mermaid Retelling) by M_A_Hartman

A story of love, power, betrayal, and the corruption of an innocent soul. ------------ Melusine "Sina" Fisher grows up in the seaside village of Farbarrow, the only daughter of a widower father. Although bright and precocious, the limited curriculum provided by the village school leads Sina to be branded as "difficult" by her teacher and treated accordingly. All that changes when Sina saves a rare black octopus from a group of village boys. As thanks for her help, the octopus promises to grant the child one wish: "I want to learn." And so begins Sina's magical education. As she grows, so do her powers. With her reputation expanding beyond Farbarrow's narrow borders, Sina attracts the attention of Viscount Klaus Zeimet who captures her heart with a dashing smile and kind eyes. But not all noblemen's sons are gentlemen and happily-ever-afters can disappear in a puff of smoke. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid".

Ancilla: Serialized Edition by SeraDrake

Things an autistic, bisexual bookworm can find in a library: Books. Periodicals. Kinky vampire librarians... Wait. Stop. KINKY VAMPIRE LIBRARIANS? Yes. And the most profound love she has ever known. A shy public reference librarian, and a college dropout who was disowned when she refused to submit to conversion therapy, encounter each other in a bookstore. He's been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she's starting her whole life over. What ensues between the two neurodivergent lovers is magic. Given that he's about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that's only to be expected. With its mystical, darkly romantic academic setting, and its quirky misfit characters, this is a bisexual coming-of-age story like you've never read before. Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant... *~* This edition of Ancilla has been serialized for greater ease of smartphone use. Like the original edition, which was added to Wattpad After Dark's BDSM booklist on May 10, 2024, it contains mature and explicit material. Reader discretion is advised. Readers who are stumbling on this novel in search of "spice" will find it, and it is hotter than a ghost pepper - however, be advised that compared to other books of this nature, Ancilla has a very slow burn, and there is more to the plot than just "spice." All edit-art illustrations used as chapter introductions, conclusions, and section breaks are my own work.
