Shaye Vedras trespasses into faerie lands to find a cure for her dying twin sister, Mira. She's searching for the famed and possibly mythical Orrin plant and it's cure-all berries. When she succeeds on her mission, she thinks she's outwitted the fae and escaped their grasp, but is interrupted in her reunion with her family to find a powerful fae, Lilith Blackmar, accusing her of theft. For the six berries she stole, she will spend six months of each year as a prisoner in the fae realms. But Lilith is more than she seems, and Shaye finds herself increasingly drawn into the politics of fae life and her relationship with the mysterious Lilith.

The Dawn (complete) {ORIGINAL DRAFT FOR THE CROWN AND ARROW}
The land of Aleron can be a treacherous place to live. None knows this better than the leïfae, a race of half-breed elves. When four leïfaen youths' entire livelihood is destroyed, they have no choice but to try and survive the cruelties of the world. Taëlenna finds herself in the home of Prince Antalos after tragedy strikes. As she adjusts to her new surroundings, she begins to discover secrets hidden behind the false truths she has somehow found herself in. What are these secrets? What kind of threat do they present? Serena and Kay are taken away from their village after a vicious attack. The other leïfaen prisoners are being used for something, but for what? Nothing good could possibly come from what their captors have in mind for them. Renefaire is rescued and taken care of by the navine; a tribe of nomadic humans who are practiced in the arts of medicine. With no home to return to, she begins to learn the ways of the navine's medicinal practices so she can help others the same way the navine have helped her. But still, she longs to return to her home, to find if any more of her people survived the attack on their home. Their stories took different turns, yet their paths have been destined to cross once again in the future for something much bigger than they ever could have imagined. ~*~*~*~ This is a really old draft. I'm currently working on the new draft and the story is basically nothing like it used to be. But I still hope that you enjoy it. I loved writing this version so much.Complete![Second Chances [Lesbian]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/245483777-256-k116206.jpg)
Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.

Life is a Calamity
Look. This book is old and bad, alright? Read it only for laughs and giggles (especially in the beginning) I'm only leaving it on this website so I can see how I've progressed. Please don't make fun of it because I know, dude, I know😭 You've been warned. TAKES PLACE RIGHT AFTER ANNE COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD. The Calamity Trio is finally going home. Amphibia was a heck of a ride, but it's time to say goodbye. Unless something goes wrong... Second book!! Whoah! Yes, it's a totally different fandom, but I just adore this show too much for me to not write this. The art on the cover is not mine. I have no idea who it belongs too, so let me know if you do so I can give credit! This is my first real custom cover, and I'm really proud of it :) Big angst all around. Should still prove to be fun in the end though. Enjoy! #1 in plantars- October 26th, 2022 #1 in sashannearcy- October 26th, 2022 (yes, that is Sashannarcy spelt wrong) #2 in Marcy- December 23rd, 2022 #4 in Sasha- April 6th, 2023 Unfortunately, Amphibia is not mine.

WARNING: This story contains major spoilers of the original book ACOTAR. In the aftermath of Solstice, Azriel's world is fracturing. Forbidden from pursuing Elain and watching his brothers' happiness from the shadows, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court teeters on the edge of a darkness five hundred years in the making. Each night, he destroys himself in the training ring, hoping pain might silence the whispers that urge him to take what he's been denied. Crystal arrives at the House of Wind carrying shadows of his own. A healer from the Winter Court with rose-quartz hair and ruby eyes, he possesses the rare gift of mending both body and soul. But the last time he opened his heart, it cost him everything, leaving Crystal with a shattered soul and a bone-deep terror of ever feeling that connection again. Neither expects the impossible--- Azriel's shadows reaching out to Crystal in the darkness, recognizing a kindred spirit in suffering. Crystal sees past Azriel's icy control to the male breaking beneath. Azriel glimpses the devastating loss Crystal hides behind his serene healer's mask. But some wounds run too deep for simple healing. Crystal flinches from their growing connection, terrified of what another bond might cost. Azriel struggles against centuries of self-denial, certain he doesn't deserve the light Crystal brings to his darkness. As war drums echo across Prythian and ancient enemies stir, both must decide: is the courage to love again worth the risk of losing everything? In a world where mates are destiny and bonds are forever, can two shattered souls forge something new from their broken pieces? Or will the coming storm destroy the fragile hope blooming between them? A story of second chances, healing, and finding light in the darkest places.

The Mystery at Trida Academy | Fantasmical 2023
Second place in the Fantasmical Story Competition. Alaina, a semi-reclusive elf with questionable fire magic, joins a mysterious stranger. Together, they must travel through twelve fantastical realms, defeating dangerous monsters in order to save her sister. Alaina grew up in the small village of Koh-i-noor with her parents and two sisters. Her oldest sister was the village beauty, and even though her family wasn't wealthy or connected, rumors of her elegance and grace traveled the countryside. She married a prince and moved to the capital. Then there's her younger sister, gifted in both earth and water magic; she's one of the most talented magic users in over a century. And Alaina? She's nothing like either of her sisters. She's got fire magic, but she's more likely to burn the house down than to light the hearth. But that doesn't bother Alaina - she's perfectly fine, even with unreliable magic. She lives in the small cottage her parents left her, along with her loyal, if somewhat yippy fox, Cinna, tending her garden and selling the sweetest strawberries that Koh-i-noor has ever seen. But when her sister sends a cryptic word that something's wrong at the Trida Academy, Alaina must abandon her solitary life to save her sister.

Converging Destinies: Part 1
Ella has been a mercenary her whole life. All she's ever wanted is a little bit of fun and a lot of money. She's just looking for a job that'll land her some cash. Cedric has just recently begun to learn the magic of the wild, just as the other members of his druidic circle begin to mysteriously disappear. Ara'Sei has just begun to scratch the surface of the divine power within her. However, as her power grows, she finds her life becoming progressively more perilous. Eris has run from their problems their whole life. But no matter how agile or fast or cunning you are, you can't outrun your past. This story is inspired by dnd, and is told through the eyes of a party that consists of... . A human champion fighter (she/her) . A circle of the forest wood elf druid (he/him) . An aasimar divine soul sorcerer (she/her) . A half-orc arcane trickster rogue (they/them) They all start the story as level 3 characters. Here are the first 200 Chapters of the story. The chapters are around 500-800 words (usually) because it's easier for me to write that way. This story continues in Converging Destinies Part 2, but this part of the story is complete. I will be posting this as well as part 2 over to AO3.Complete
