From World Fantasy Award finalist L.S. Johnson comes a fairy tale retelling about revenge, grief, and healing. 

In lush, elegant prose, Johnson tells the story of Apple, a thirteenth fairy born for an unknown purpose. A violent encounter with a king changes her life forever, and sets her on a journey that threatens herself, the newborn princess Rose, and the future of the kingdom. But even the darkest promises can have unexpected consequences. 

Weaving together elements of both popular and obscure tales, Apple is for all of us who found ourselves in the dark woods of pain and grief.

By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend.

Hollywood Hills by mhunyadi

What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.

Always light the candles by dddfakeddd

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.
