Asteria had always been taught that Fairies were better than Elves. Despite being what humans would call 'power equals', Elves were taught to bow their heads to the winged creatures. To follow their orders, to keep away from them at school, to not talk back.
She was born in the woods, away from everyone else. She didn't understand why she was kept so hidden until she went into town for the first time. Those with wings couldn't preform spells with their mind, while those without wings could. She had both. Born to a forbidden love story between a Fairy and an Elf, she was a product of something Fairies would consider illegal and odd.
Her mother told her to never hide her true self, so, everyone knew who she was. Asteria Ender, the Elf with wings. Still, she was treated the same way as Elves were, like slaves.
Asteria always questioned why Elves were treated such a way. Elves could do spells with their mind while Fairies had to create potions. Fairies only trait seemed to be their natural beauty and their wings. So how one came into power over an entire kingdom seemed confusing to her. It wasn't like he was a particularly good king either. Regardless, she bowed her head like her mother and obeyed the rules.
But when she stumbles upon a group working in the shadows to gain the respect they deserve, she begins to wonder if there was a reason why they were in power. After late nights pondering her decision, she agrees to join. As Fae, a co-leader of the organization, becomes something so much more to her, she begins to uncover the truth about the Fairies. A plan is set into place to take control when she finds information that leaves her stunned as she heads out to face her grandfather. Someone she'd never thought he'd be.

Amongst the Waking Dreams
Nymeria Verne has always loved fantasy books. She loves the mystical lands, the fantastical creatures, the happy fairy tale endings...but what she loves most about them is that they are nothing like the real thing. Nymeria was raised in the land of faeries, constantly visiting the mortal realm with its urban cities but never understanding them. As a human living among fae, she has grown up always knowing that she is not pretty enough, not strong enough, not ever enough-for who could compare to the ethereal fae? She doesn't belong among either the faeries or the humans, and yet she loves her home and is desperate to find her place among the Seelie Courts. Despite the beauty and draw of the faerie world, there is a sinister undertone to it, and Nymeria knows that she can never be safe as a fragile human there. Not even her strenuous relationship with the faerie she refuses to call 'father' could help her. Her only chance of security and belonging is to one day come of age and become a faerie's bride, but at seventeen years old Nymeria refuses to accept marriage as the only option. In her search for her own path and independence, she stumbles across a prince of fae that offers all the solutions to her problems. She becomes his servant and agrees to spy for him in return for protection and a place in his court when he becomes High King. As a mortal, Nymeria can do something the fae can't: lie-a trait that the prince sees an opportunity in. Along the way, she meets a mortal boy, Collin, that was raised among fae just as she was. As her reluctant feelings for him grow, he has her questioning her choices and what it is she actually wants. Perhaps leaving the land of fae would be her better option... But her prince has no intention of letting her go.Complete

Fairy Lands- Book 1
The word 'Fairy' meant very little to Sam. He imagined mischievous little imps with brightly coloured wings, he imagined cute little tricksters who delighted young children. He knew them only as a story, one he was a little too old for. But real Fairies were not so whimsical, real fairies stalked prey before devouring them bit by bit, real Fairies were unnatural creatures of darkness, barred from the Fae world of Galadria. Sam Turnble always had trouble fitting in, controlling his anger and staying in one school long enough to make friends. Entering his last years of education, he was determined to stick it out. His mother was exasperated, and after finding her son crawling on the ceiling one early morning, she was contacted by Stildegar School. Stildegar was a special school made only for those transitioning from human to Fae. Witches, Werewolves, Vampires and now a Fairy, all converged together at this castle built into a steep cliff. There had only ever been one other Fairy Changeling to enter that school and Sam felt oddly connected to him, even if he was banished to the dark realm almost 40 years prior. Haunted by ghosts of the past and torn between who he is and who he wants to be, Sam must unravel the mystery of his predecessor all the while falling in messy love with a Vampire Initiate. It's a mess, it's dramatic and it's certainly no fairy tale. MxM TW: Violence/sexual themes.Complete

An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
