Southern Charms
[COMPLETED] My grandmother is a witch. My mother is a witch. My sisters are witches. Even my daddy is a warlock when he's not moonlighting as a rat (a consequence of the aforementioned grandmother's temper). So you would think I would be a witch too, right? Nope. Not a spark of magic resides in my fingertips, and even worse, I'm beginning to think I'm allergic to magic. Kind of a big problem when you live in the middle of the most magical town in Mississippi. I'm just biding my time until I turn eighteen. Then, I can pack my bags and move out into the real world- with the normal humans. Until then, I just have to survive my grandmother's experiments, my sister's nasty temper, and the charms of the town's bad boy, Ash Goodwin. Easy...ier said than done.Complete
Christmas Wonder (RotG)
Christmas isn't the same for you as it was when you were a child. Not as magical, very anticlimactic. You long to get back the Christmas magic you had as a kid-the joy of childhood-and have been trying your best to.

You accept the offer. But as you get into Christmas preparation, you discover that delivering Christmas and getting your wonder back is going to be much harder than you thought. (This is a romance-free reader-insert.) *I also upload this story on Quotev, DeviantArt, and ArchiveofOurOwn under the same username. *This story has 14 chapters, and I will be uploading them all before Christmas. I will upload seven today (December 23rd CST) and seven tomorrow (December 24th CST), posting about one per hour, unless other responsibilities come up and I have to take a break and upload at a later time that day.

Snowflakes (Jack Frost x Reader)
*HIGHEST RANKING: #1 in Jack Frost and #3 in snowflakes** "Who are you, and why the heck are you in my house?!" You ask the boy, pointing your hairbrush at him. Like a hairbrush will do anything, right? The boy didn't seem to be armed with any weapons, but he did carry a wooden staff that hooked at the end. You eyed him carefully. But the boy was taken aback. "You can see me?!" He asked, almost in disbelief. You raised an eyebrow, "..Yes?.. You're not exactly hiding very well if this is hide n' seek," you stated back at him. "She can see me.." he said to himself, almost in shock, and then his face broke into an endless smile, "She can see me!" The boy did a backflip, which you admitted was impressive because you can't even do a cartwheel, and he landed back on his bare feet. "Sorry to interrupt this.. reunion you're having with yourself but, am I not supposed to see you, or?..." You trail off, but he understood you perfectly, almost as if he's gotten this question before before. You still had your guard up. "Okay, so I'm not exactly.. Human.. or alive.. Well I'm here but I'm not alive because I'm a Winter spirit. I make winter!" He stated. You both stared at each other for a minute or two in complete silence. Then you blinked. Twice even. "Uh.. What? A winter spirit?" He nodded, "Oh, like Jack Frost?" He smirked, and almost started laughing as he crossed his arms, "Snowflake, I am Jack Frost," ~*~ Y/n has had a troubled past, starting with her family passing away and having no friends, she lives alone in her house as a 16 year old girl. But when Pitch Black is back, she and the Guardians have to find a way to defeat him (again).

This is not an Apocalypse
The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend. What many of these creatures had in common however was their aggressive nature and predatory instinct. Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world. A slow burn story with world building, dungeon delving, character progression, Litrpg elements and more. WARNING - The MC is not a Mary Sue, he is not super competent, or super powerful or super intelligent nor a paragon of virtue, just a normal guy in a not so normal situation and him growing to deal with it in his own way.

The Light switch
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, with a chill down your spine and a shiver reaching from your head to your toes? Then reaching down for your nice warm duvet, did you discover it mysteriously crumpled at the bottom of your bed? If so, it is my pleasure to tell you that you have been visited by the magical ... Blanketsnatchers. Now don't be scared or alarmed, these wonderful creatures may look strange, but they are the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. They are the friends of children all over the world, and it's they who tidy your rooms at night, making sure everything is as it should be while you sleep, and most importantly, that you have nice dreams. A Blanketsnatcher stands about as tall as a twelve-year-old child, but with arms and legs so long they look like squiggly spaghetti. Their hair only comes in the brightest colours, is completely impossible to keep tidy, and always matches their clever shining eyes. The last thing you really need to know about a Blanketsnatcher before we move on to the story, is their incredibly special stripy jumpers. A Blanketsnatcher is not like us with different outfits for different days, but instead has a single stripy jumper that they will wear all their lives. As each year passes on their birthday all their friends and family will add another stripe, so as the Blanketsnatcher grows older their jumper grows longer and longer. In fact, some of the older Blanketsnatchers have jumpers so long they need sewing up at the bottom and they no longer walk but are carried by magical winged butterfly clips. Once a Blanketsnatcher gets to such an old age, they usually stay in their home of Blanket Town and no longer fly on the duvet whales that take them from their world to ours. That should now be enough for us to be getting on with our story, so let's begin with the story of the first human ever to enter the magical world of the Blanketsnatcher ...Complete
