The Quickhall Mercenary Association has been connecting clients with hired hitmen and acquisitors for almost a century, but they haven't had a job this big since... well, ever. 

Enina is living day by day, working with what little money she gets from jobs and struggling to keep up with the rent for her apartment. Ever since the food poisoning fiasco that lost her a job cooking for one of the best restaurants in the Nation of Eriadrin, life's been tough. But when she's approached by a fairy with a proposition, all that could change - but can she trust him? What about all she'd be risking? She takes the job, hoping she might find someone from her past, but finds someone else instead - someone she'd been all too eager to forget. 

Dusty's life has been anything but idealistic ever since he left his hometown in the forest, following nothing but his dreams of exploring the world. Sure, the first year was alright, but when the library he was working for closed down and he set out in pursuit of a questionable job offer, things took a turn for the worse. Now that he's finally escaped the darkest year of his life, Dusty's been taking jobs and trying to save up the money to go visit his family. Unfortunately, money's been running a little short recently. Until he gets offered the biggest job the Association's seen in decades - that is, if he can find a partner to do it with.All Rights Reserved

The Calm and the Storm [#NaNoWriMo15] by ak_lloyd

Atticus Deane was just a boy; a broken, misguided boy. It was an accident; no one told him how to play life's game. He had to make up his own rules, but where did that get him? In an abusive relationship with his older brother and all his bad friends. That wasn't what he bargained for. But Atticus left that life behind; he was rebuilding a new apartment and doing the same with a new life. Well, trying. Atticus and his brother never got along after their parents left. He never spoke a word to his brother if it weren't mean and cruel, which was why a request to join in on his big brother's 'fun' and 'games' was a surprise to everyone, much less himself. But when things are taken way too far, Atticus is suddenly running and ends up at the doorstep of an unusual compound that sparks something in his instincts. Taking refuge away from the poison of others, Atticus knew that he couldn't hide forever, but he'd do anything to be left alone so he didn't have to hide anymore. Unfortunately he wasn't the only resident in this newly-found dwelling, because this newcomer wanted the exact same thing that he did.

Escape from the Witch Hunters ✓ by WaitingForACowboy

A product of NaNoWriMo. Evelyn Moore - daughter of the dreaded Ivy, must flee her past, her mother's lineage, and her village. Ivy was an admired healer, before the illness took over the village. The illness was incurable. Ivy and Evelyn struggled day and night, trying to rescue the sick. All who fall ill end up in a misty graveyard. They are driven to the woods and they build a small hut in the dense forest, barely living from day to day, but peacefully. That is, until the town's leader gathers enough men to track Ivy, and take her back to the village to be burned. Evelyn knows that she'll be next - being the only descendant of Ivy. She packs up her few belongings and gallops deeper and deeper into the woods until her eyelids fall, causing her to lose control of the horse, fall off of it and into a black abyss. When Evelyn wakes up, there are two midnight blue eyes staring back at her. Where is she? How did she get there? Why can't she remember anything? What is her name? Why does her head hurt so much?

Forget Me Not by E1izabethWrites

The past should stay in the past. At least that's what most people thought and Korn and Mew were no exceptions. Their past, rife with misunderstanding, had led to their breakup and a fistfight or two. That should have been the end of it. A lesson learnt and a heartbreak left where it belonged. Until a chance encounter, far from home and far from everything familiar, led them back to each other. Did this mean they had a second chance? Or was this their third try? If it did, was it for the friendship they had lost or for all the love they never got to share? -Excerpt- "Why are you so willing to take the blame for shit you didn't do?" He asked. "I didn't." Except perhaps he had a little bit. "You're better than that. I've seen how hard you work." "And you would know what that looks like." "I know what a lot of things look like but I wonder if you do." Korn was short of patience already. He didn't need to play games. "Go home..." "Do you know how to be loved?" "Go find someone else. I don't deserve that." "You don't deserve to be loved?" Korn realized what he'd accidentally said. "What I meant is, you deserve better than I can give you. Find someone like you...I don't deserve you." 14 February 2022 - 19 April 2023

Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe.

Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world.

The Octopus Queen (A Little Mermaid Retelling) by M_A_Hartman

A story of love, power, betrayal, and the corruption of an innocent soul. ------------ Melusine "Sina" Fisher grows up in the seaside village of Farbarrow, the only daughter of a widower father. Although bright and precocious, the limited curriculum provided by the village school leads Sina to be branded as "difficult" by her teacher and treated accordingly. All that changes when Sina saves a rare black octopus from a group of village boys. As thanks for her help, the octopus promises to grant the child one wish: "I want to learn." And so begins Sina's magical education. As she grows, so do her powers. With her reputation expanding beyond Farbarrow's narrow borders, Sina attracts the attention of Viscount Klaus Zeimet who captures her heart with a dashing smile and kind eyes. But not all noblemen's sons are gentlemen and happily-ever-afters can disappear in a puff of smoke. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid".

Before It Happens by adrienbrody

Completed for NaNoWriMo, this story follows a twenty-something-year-old freelance reporter named Ash Pa'krou and his ragtag news crew as they go on a quest to discover exactly what lies behind the strange Unity law firm. Unfortunately, this book will remain indefinitely unfinished. My computer broke earlier this year, and along with a bunch of other important data, I lost the ending of this book. While I can place a summary below, I am unfortunately incapable of bringing myself to rewrite the story. ---- spoilers ---- The book ends with Ash realizing that he is of witch descent. Seraph takes him and Killian hostage. After she makes an attempt at their life, Oswald and Christopher come for them. Christopher is killed in the chaos, and Ash realizes he has no choice but to leave Seraph alive in order to maintain the peace between Nueva and Marn. He returns back to the mainland and discovers that while he had achieved something that belonged in history books, none of them would ever receive credit for it due to corrupted footage. Their plan to become a real news team falls apart, and each of them go their separate ways. Ash realizes that he has fallen for Killian, but, knowing that Killian is straight, decides instead to help Killian find happiness. Oswald and Ash remain good friends, but they realize that they will never be the same people they were Before it Happened.
