The Choice Of Us by Ella-Skai

After a loss that crumbles Tiana's world, it seemed her path was set on being haunted with a perpetual darkness for the tragedy she's faced.

In the end we all have a choice. A decision to make that determines which way the clock ticks as time unravels till the very day we take our last breath.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

The Crown and Ash by EyyaDhyna

In the kingdom of Luthandrel, where crowns are heavy with duty and fate is written in whispers of magic, Princess Evelyne walks a path paved with expectation. The future queen-graceful, patient, yet laced with quiet defiance. But for as long as she can remember, her gaze has been drawn not to the throne, but to the sorceress who stands just beyond its reach. Thalia. Born of Ravenwood's oldest bloodline, marked by the magic in her veins and the otherworldly beauty that sets her kind apart. Evelyne had admired her once for her kindness, for the way she carried the weight of her lineage with effortless strength. She had admired her always. But admiration is not the same as understanding. Not when grief takes root. Not when the warmth in Thalia's eyes fades beneath the shadow of loss. Her parents-pillars of wisdom and power-were taken from her in a death too cruel to name. And in their absence, she has changed. Evelyne still looks at her, still sees the girl she once knew. But Thalia is different now-quieter, distant, a storm on the verge of breaking. And Evelyne, for all her patience, does not know if she can reach her before the winds pull them apart. Yet in a kingdom ruled by duty and deception, where magic is both a gift and a curse, one truth remains-Evelyne has never stopped looking at Thalia. And she does not think she ever will.

The Girl He Left Behind ✔ by TahliePurvis

Child of Light: The Fairy Tale by MazenBushnag

Child, tuck yourself in bed, Let me tell a story, Of Lemuria, a kingdom past, And a girl born for glory. Lost from our world came she, Treachery gave close chase, She raised her sword and flew, For she feared not the race. Three long lost lights to save, A mad queen to defeat, The journey would transform her, Her destiny to meet. The path home tragic and faint. Beware the night, Child of Light. ******************************** For such an epic fairy tale, i was saddened that it was only in a video game form. What about the book readers? what about the children who could not afford the game itself? Therefore I decided to be a narrator, to write one, a fan fiction (retaining the rhyming style in my writing) for all those who did not know about such a story; children, adults, and all who still have the child's heart within (him/her)self. I'm really thankful to Jeffrey Yohalem & Ubisoft Team for creating such a beautiful fairy tale. *This Fan Fiction work is only a narration of the original game* "Child of Light™ story, art, music and original characters | © 2014 Ubisoft Entertainment.

Tutoring the Bad Boy (Completed) by funfusion

Tutoring the Bad Boy. ~~ He smirked. "Whoops! Look who has read 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me getting kinky is almost every guys dream. I knew you had hidden desires! All the shy ones do." I blushed a little. "No! I don't have any hidden desires." The image of me and Bryan on a bed, with no clothes and handcuffs and ties entering my head. I shook my head vigorously. Hell no! That ain't happening in another millennium. Instantly trying to change the topic, I glanced at my bucket list and then at him. "What are you teaching me?" I asked, fear already gripping me like ivy. He smirked evilly. "How to be a badass." ~~ Once in a while, in the middle of life, love gives us a fairytale. And some fairytale love stories are completely unexpected and thus more memorable. No one expected the class president and the leader of Trouble Triggers to even talk about anything but notes and pencils. But then fate's a bitch and loves to meddle! Their life changes drastically when the good girl- Joanna Williams has to tutor the bad boy- Bryan Cooper. Along with the tutoring comes constant fun, too much bickering, lame jokes, scary sarcasm, idiotic friends, too many unknown emotions, jungles in tummy, bucket lists, unheard secrets and haunting pasts. Maybe some fairytales don't have a happy ending... or do they? (A/N: Contains a lot of 'F' words and grammatical mistakes. Don't say you weren't warned.)
