The Fall of Vequera by storiesbyandy_

18 chapters available • the rest are available on Patreon Book one in "The Reign of The Flame" series "If she became queen, she would be the end of us all." A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

Light and Shadows (Thranduil's story post BOTFA) by Cineva999

The Elvenking is like a very strong, old tree, deeply rooted in the kingdom he pledged himself to protect. He also pledged himself to protect his heart from love, out of fear that it might weaken him, but that proved to be disastrous. Love... what daunting word rubbed in his face by that fearless redhead elleth during the battle in Dale. Is there any love left in him? Follows what happens with Thranduil and Tauriel after BOTFA, during the War of the Ring and further into the 4th Age. Mainly from Thranduil's POV and including canon events that are only briefly mentioned in the books. I try to respect the lore as much as I can. Apart from the romance, I wanted to explore Thranduil's character based on what we know about his life. Feedback and comments are much appreciated :) "His words were unforgiving again, hiding under the same cold tone he had for centuries, yet he could not believe them himself anymore. Tauriel was looking at him, her gaze seemingly piercing through his soul. His dream to restore Mirkwood to Greenwood and his thoughts of avenging his beloved wife were contradicting everything he said. He did not want to care yet every fibre of his being cared too much." "There was something else that Thranduil noticed in Celeborn's eyes: a combination of respect and admiration. 'You are strong, Thranduil. You are like one of the old Mirkwood trees, deeply rooted in the earth, that the centuries cannot wither. I always thought that, no matter what evil lies upon Arda, you will endure.'

My Dear Botanist [ Ser Aymeric x Reader ] (FFXIV) by SamTheSith

As a member of the Botanist Guild, you and your team make headway to the land of Coertha's in an endeavor to further your knowledge of the abundance of nature. However, your journey would prove to put your life into a frenzy as it slowly becomes intertwined with the Lord Commander/Speaker of Ishgard, Ser Aymeric. Your adventures would not go without newfound companions.. and a small electrifying dragon. It would seem Nophica has other plans for you as your reserved life is torn apart to overcome trials of love, misery, darkness.. and dragons! This takes place some time after the Dragonsong War; Ishgard and its people are still recovering, but the events of the past still linger. ______________________________________________ A/N I have added in a large amount of original ideas, yet I have tried to still hold true to the lore that I do know of! I have added in my personal Warrior of Light, Tauriel, and some other random references. But there are some characters that are my own. I am by no means a writer.. so please bear with me on this first attempt - this is going to hopefully be a long ride. I simply just wanted to share this story I had heavily imagined. This is very much so a sloooowburn romance with Ser Aymeric, so.. I apologize. (F/N) = your First Name

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

SPIRIT- the curse of fire by lunamay13

|Book 1 of the Spirit Trilogy| Serena's life is about as normal as it gets - for an Alkanine at least - aside from her, slightly patriotic mother and obvious lack of fighting ability, for a citizen of Yanrie. Its pretty good for her, especially when her sister returns home from the front lines of the Zaross war right before her 15th birthday, the best present she could have. But upon meeting a boy from the neighboring kingdom of Miral she finds that the week leading up to her birthday may be a bit...chaotic, to say the least. (I fixed up the description. Because it sucked and now it doesn't...for now, let me look back on this in...say a month? And it'll suck again) Big thanks to @CateCandora12 for the epic cover!

A Land of Legends by KaraCarreira

OVERALL WINNER of the WattALegend: Quorin Saga collaboration contest hosted by the Fantasy family of Ambassador profiles (2021) *** There is a strange restlessness in the magical land of Quorin. A teenage girl sneaking home one night finds herself face to face with Scydelle's greatest legend: a dagger that wanders the countryside in search of a new master. But its power comes at a terrible price. After a cunning witch siren steals the Ocean Song, a brave merprincess must journey to the Dead Waters to retrieve it for the sake of the underwater realm of Abyssos. A young monster-slayer journeys to Ashelum to face a murderous beast, only to come upon the secret of the kingdom's demise and its restoration. When an elf knight's quest reaches a fork in the road, he must decide whether to continue his search for Aelfdene's missing Queen or battle the beast terrorising a mountain village. The angel Princess and demon Prince's forbidden love was only their first trial. Now they must keep their baby safe from those who would kill him to prevent him from uniting the kingdoms of Haven and Hell. The other five kingdoms swirl in a chaos of their own. Ten quests. Ten heroes to answer the call, hoping that their bravery is enough to make the difference between life and death. Sometimes winning comes at a cost, sometimes it does not, but one thing is for certain. Expect the unexpected, for in Quorin, nothing is ever what it seems. *** A collection of fantasy short stories. *** Cover by @Ardenwillcraft *** Featured on: @newlywrittenbooks "Big Ideas | Short Stories/Imagines/One Shots" @WattpadShortStory "Phantasm and Sorcery"
