A Kingdom of Tales by sleepytinker5757

Cover by: @Caitlyn-Blayne "After the great war, King Archeron, who was not yet a king, was the obvious choice to be the monarch of Avenlea. He possessed all the qualities a king should have-courage, intelligence, boldness, strength, and empathy-but most of all, the gods had given him a quality of his own, something he could pass on to his children. They gave him fire. Fire that could bring down nations." Jasmine has been told stories of Avenlea since she was a child, but it isn't until she meets a handsome stranger who claims to be Avenlean that she starts considering that the myths could be true.

Raven Falls by MzTitania

She was young, reserved and a complete book lover. A rather curvy girl with hazel eyes. He was strange with an always bored look but had an unnatural glint. You could say he was inhumanly beautiful with a perfect set of blue eyes. . . . "I'm not interested in whatever pledge father had with the Gregory's. I will not marry that girl mother" He barks angrily as he stomps toward the foyer. "Besides I heard she has the most boring set of hazel eyes" He adds as he mentally face palms at such a weak excuse. "Alex you have to do this, not for yourself but for your father.. - the kingdom" his mother pleads as she tries to catch up with him. "How would the kingdom look at a king who cannot honour a pledge" she says. He groans furiously this was a waste of time. Alexander freezes midway as a foreign memory flashes through his mind. He wasn't even interested in hazel eyes

Desert Wings by spiteful_hope

In Kara's village at the age if fifteen your wings are freed from the chains that have bound them. Once you can fly you must cross the White Desert, a land covered almost entirely in ice and snow, and the inhabitants are not all friendly. Gods and goddesses of myth live with in the constraints if the dimension beside creatures of flight and fancy; beside them hide those of dreams, be they day dreams or the darkest nightmare. Kara and her freinds now must find out how to survive in a land where little is what it seems and a villain can be made of a hero or a hero made of a villian. Atop all this sits Fate, pulling strings to make her puppets jump and keep things intresting, because she has always loved a good show. Until the show started to change, when one little girl in particular wants things to change, because if leaving means Death, well Fate has another thing coming, a new Queen is coming. This story is going to be for the most part unedited. I'm going to try to start editing soon. Some violence.

Our Written Memories by cramsy69

"Hey, calm down, flower I ain't gona hurt ya." My heart skips a beat as I feel my face heating even more. His eyes fill with worry, and His voice is deep but steady, which calms me down for some reason. But it made me tremble in ways I couldn't understand. I wanted to get near him but wanted to run as fast as I could at the same time. My head stayed down the whole time, and my wet hair still stuck in many directions. "Leave me alone." My voice was low and cracked; I felt vulnerable and wanted to hide. I didn't want him to leave me alone, but I was scared of what he was doing to me. I wanted to get away. His hazel eyes stare into my soul, the room's sounds filling my head. "Now why would I do that little flower?" _____________________________________________ Shes just an 18-year-old girl. She's lost, confused, and, most of all, lonely. Life at home is not so great. She was stuck inside the same walls with no escape. She's had enough of it. One day, her mother has had enough of her, and she kicks her out for no reason. She was confused and lost, with no one to help her. Two days later, after her mother kicked her out, she felt something she never felt. Pure hatred toward her mother, she didn't understand. Until she meets a man? They shared many thoughts and memories. For once, she has a friend or maybe more. What will happen? What secrets will she find out? Maybe life outside of the house is not as bad as she thought. Or perhaps it is worse. TW!!!: This story will contain graphic content such as Abuse, Mental disorders, Violence, sexual harassment, Death, Maybe smut in the future, I doubt it, Cussing, traumatic scenes, and abuse of a child. Please do not read this story if you can't handle this type of stuff. I will NOT be adding any trigger warnings in any chapter. If you like it please vote it would mean a lot:))

Three Minnows, a Salamander, and Ironweed by GhostCrabs

Let me float upon the wind like a scrap of butterfly wing so brutally ripped away or let me sink like a rock skipped and doomed when I must stop skipping. I went into the woods monster bound, whether the one nipping at my heels or something worse deep between the trees, who eats human flesh and yet showed me mercy. 'You have a purpose' the hollow inside me tells me as it swallows me whole while my savior watches from a million miles away. I am a myth born off a single word from a single set of lips, and he is a monster, story spun as vast as I am small. Oh, how we tangle, such opposites, how we tangle.

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology by AsterSxh368

A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!
