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 Academy - Something Missing by thepasthascome

There was only one thing that every kid lived for on their sixteenth birthday. It wasn't parties or celebrations but a test. Julie's government is run by a system where a test is taken by every person in the world on their sixteenth birthday. No one knows what this mysterious test is about because no one ever remembers thanks to the government's memory erasing system, but those who pass are invited to the most prestigious school in the world. When Julie Gilbert turned sixteen and passes unknowingly, she must leave her old life, including Daniel, her almost boyfriend. But she soon realizes that the Academy is not what it seems. Dangerous events occur ever since her enrollment at the Academy and to make things even more complicated, her lab partner, Damen, the quiet and mysterious but dangerous boy with looks that can kill, is hiding a secret that may lead to disaster or save the Academy. What she doesn't know is that she is tied to the Academy in a way she never would have thought and as she tries to find out Damen's secret, everything will change.

Chasing Fairies by TheArdentPen

[complete] "A human, a wulver, and a fairy walk into a witch's hut." It was like the start of a bad joke. Fleeing from her home in the States after the death of her only family member, Atrium McKenna comes to Gargunnock, Scotland to mourn the death of her uncle. She meets up with a group of merry men led by the charming Callum who takes a downtrodden Atrium under his wing. Their unlikely friendship forges the way into a world that until now, she only thought existed in fairy-tales. An apparition of a beautifully androgynous woman leaves her with more questions than answers on the legitimacy of her sanity and the security of her heart. While her uncle leaves behind secrets that make her ask one question: who was she? With a target on her head, Atrium struggles to protect herself and come to terms with the new world they have thrust her into. There's no turning back and dark magic is laying siege to those she cares about. Would she have time to understand and come to terms with it before it's too late? **This is the unedited first copy of Chasing Fairies.

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.

Converging Destinies: Part 1 by AbyssalDonut

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.

Queen of Chaos and The Forgotten Witch by AuthorZelia

A warrior's place is not in hiding yet that is exactly where Mira finds herself; hoping that the creatures had forgotten her name, forgotten what she had done. Until her previous Commander appears, bringing the very news she never thought she would hear- that the only creature with the knowledge to break the curse is finally in their possession and willing to work with her. For years, this curse has prevented all of the creatures from accessing their powers. Without their power, they stand no chance of surviving against their greatest enemy, the fae, whose attacks seem to be growing more frequent and devastating. With Deimos, the only creature unaffected by the curse, in her possession, Mira finds herself negotiating the terms of a deal that are not nearly as harsh as they should be and spending her every waking moment catering to the most feared monster. Mira knows better than to believe it was all a mere coincidence; to not assume the fae have something far bigger planned. Deimos too. Despite it all, the biggest challenge she faces is how to conceal her own ulterior motives and lies from her new team. A few quick notes... ~The story is the first in a series and depending on interest, I will write and publish the following books in the series, AS WELL AS other spinoff stories in the same world. ~I have completed writing and editing the entire book so I will be uploading a few chapters each day until the entire book is posted. ~Happy reading! I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it! and please feel to leave comments as you read. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts, theories, etc... ~I do not own the book cover photo. All credit is due to the creator and I will be changing it once I have my own made. ~I own all rights to this story, the characters, and the world created within.
