Beauty and the Beast meets the Labyrinth in the story of a woman lost and a man who couldn't care less.
I made a slight mistake. And by slight, I mean an uncharacteristic lapse in judgement has landed me in a place that my rational mind cannot explain, and my body cannot escape. A land full of strange creatures and decaying landscape all ruled by quite possibly the rudest, most rotten person I've ever had the misfortune of meeting.
Luckily, I'm a woman quite capable of adapting to my surroundings and I have no problem going toe to toe with my grumpy adversary. I might even turn this dismal place around if I'm here long enough.
I wonder, though.
For someone who insists he prefers a solitary existence, he sure seems to pop up to antagonize me often enough.
Imagine my surprise to find the one person I wanted to avoid is the one I've come to crave more than life itself.

HOUSE OF SHADOWS: SHADOWS WITHIN [ON EDITING]
To: The Storyteller From: Maeve "Evie" Stone Dear Storyteller, I never imagined my life would change so completely when I accepted the restoration project at Ashwood Manor. Do you remember the article about it? The haunted house with the enigmatic billionaire owner? Well, let me tell you the whispers didn't even scratch the surface. The manor itself is alive. I know how that sounds, but every creaking floorboard and flickering candle seemed to echo secrets, some about him, the brooding man who owns the place, and some about me. It started with a series of strange dreams. Labyrinths. Mirrors. A shadow I couldn't escape. And oh, when I met him at first, I didn't trust him. I wasn't sure I trusted myself around him, either. But as we uncovered the manor's past together, the walls between us and within ourselves began to crumble. This isn't just a story about a haunted house, though it has plenty of that. It's about confronting fears...my fear of commitment, of loving and being loved, and his fear of forgiveness. Together, we unraveled the labyrinth that held Ashwood in its grip, freed the ghosts of the past, and built something entirely new. I wish you could visit. He and I are planning an exhibit to share the journals and artifacts we discovered. It's our way of honoring those who came before us and making peace with the past. I thought I was going to Ashwood to rebuild walls. Instead, I rebuilt myself. Hoping you come visit soon. You won't believe it until you see it. With love, EvieComplete
The Serpent King's Labyrinth
Labyrinth inspired. Hermione Granger convinced Draco Malfoy to stay during the battle, and Voldemort made her pay the price. Struck down by a curse meant to destroy, her body survives, but her mind is trapped in a prison of calcification. Draco will stop at nothing to find a way to set her free. Haunted by what he let happen, he disappears with her into the Scottish Highlands with her, where magic runs thin and the world forgets. There, he builds a kingdom made in her image, and a labyrinth of trials, riddles, and many twists and turns. Please note: This story is canon divergent. If you're a canon purist, this may not be the fic for you. Some characters who died in the books or films are still alive here, either for plot reasons or simply because I love them too much to let go. I'm still discovering my voice as a writer. This is my second fanfic (my first is still a work in progress and actively being edited), so you may notice slight style variations as I learn through trial and error. Thank you for your patience and for being here. Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction based on the Harry Potter universe. I do not own the world or characters created by J.K. Rowling.

BEAST WORLD #1: Ms. Soldier Meets Beasts
I was a tough soldier even though I looked small and cute. People called me a cute face with muscles. Life was all about training, running, and shouting "Yes, sir!" until one day I somehow ended up in a world full of beastmen. My brain could only process one thought, "Wait, what just happened!?" Then I saved this super handsome guy who looked sweet and clueless. Turns out he wasn't clueless at all, just a sneaky lion in disguise. Literally. When he got mad, poof, he turned into a giant lion. I nearly fainted. "Seriously!? That's allowed!?" Here all the good-looking guys are beasts, and apparently there are no pretty girls at all. They act all gentle and charming, but trust me, they're secretly troublemakers. And somehow I, a tough female soldier, ended up being spoiled by them. My whole view of the world? Shattered. But don't worry, I'm not going down alone. I'll make sure these beastmen get a taste of what a real woman warrior can do! 🏅#4-beastman out of 918 stories 🥈#53-soldier out of 11.6K stories

Reborn Into The Beast World
Ever heard of the woman who suddenly appeared in a world filled with beastmen? You know, the place of walking hunky men showing off their bodies, ears, tails, blood, and ooops, yeahh, um, blood. In fact it's blood and fur everywhere. You gotta hunt for your food and fight for your territory. No, I'm not talking about a simple yap and spray of urine. There you gotta show you're strong or you'll end up someone else's food. So, if you're not strong, then the quickest (if not easiest) survival guide is to belong to a strong family. My story begins with me snot crying into this beast world. Meaning you got a bonafide bred and born female showing you the ends and outs of this overpopulated male world. Follow my story as I search for beastmen to join my family while on the way receiving a surprise... She's HERE?! * MC starts out as a cub... © 2021 Leyendoyamar. All rights reserved.
