The Moon's Silent Steps

Cecilia was born to dance, but it was the night the moon wept that she was truly transformed. Alone in the quiet of her garden, she witnessed an impossible phenomenon: a single silver tear fell from the sky, shimmering as it struck her brow. From that moment, her life was no longer her own.
Onstage, her movements became transcendent, hypnotic. The audience swayed with her as if pulled by an invisible tide, their breaths rising and falling in unison with her every pirouette. The moon had chosen her, granting her powers over water, dreams, and the delicate threads of emotion. But these gifts came with an ache, a sense of longing she couldn't explain-a yearning for something, or someone, she had yet to encounter.
When her ballet company merges with another, Cecilia meets Achlys, a dancer whose presence feels as inevitable as the moonlight she wields. Achlys moves like shadow incarnate, his steps sharp and deliberate, as though carving the darkness itself. His secrets are deep, his gaze piercing, and though he speaks little, Cecilia feels their destinies entwined.
Together, they are cast as the leads in The Phantom Swan, a ballet as haunting as it is beautiful. Cecilia's role as the luminous swan is mirrored by Achlys as the shadow that pursues her, their onstage chemistry an echo of something far older than either of them. Yet, as rehearsals progress, Cecilia's powers grow stronger-and more dangerous. Achlys presence seems to draw them out, and the tides within her threaten to consume her completely.
It is only through Achlys that Cecilia learns the truth: the drop of moonlight that touched her was no accident. It was sent by the moon goddess herself, a celestial being whose influence stretches beyond what either of them can comprehend.

A Tale of Luster and Dawn
Rachel is the daughter of Grogar and Nightmare Moon. She wishes for nothing more than to be reunited with Nightmare. But what lengths will she go to to achieve her goal? And where should she look for her real friends? And when the statue of Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow is stolen from Canterlot Gardens, Luster Dawn comes into the story. This will also be a Cozy Glow reformation fanfic. Excerpt: Meanwhile, In Canterlot, Twilight, Cadence, Flurry Heart and Celestia stood on the four corners of a complicated circular design illustrated on the floor of the throne room. Each was sweating, the magical auras around their horns beaming brightly. In the center of the magic circle, the auras wove into a rainbow beam. Through the open skylight in the room, the beam shot out, facing the moon directly. Luna was standing on the side, looking up at the moon in hope. A rainbow sphere at the tip of the beam was coming closer and closer. It was slowly lowered into the throne room until the entire floor was just a ball of light. At once, the auras disappeared and the four alicorns stepped back. The light gradually died down to reveal a purple figure with large dark horns, curled up on the floor, clutching a silver hourglass. The picture of Rachel on the cover belongs to GihhBloonde on DeviantArt. I don't own any illustrations I use in this story. Many ideas I use are actually theories by youtuber Sawtooth Waves. Edit: Oh my god, I finished! I worked so hard to create characters and a plot that seemed real and as a 12-year-old first-time author I think I did such a good job. Thanks for everyone who read and voted on A Tale of Luster and Dawn. Thank you all so much, I appreciate all of you ❤!Complete

And a wolf, fur darker than night itself, that would passionately howl at the moon in a holy nocturnal ritual. He yearned to go and reach his beloved sphere of blessed silver rays for it breathed life into his very being and gave meaning to his existence. His howls were a balm to her lonely soul and so, on one spectacular night, the Moon in all her glory descended, gracing her devoted worshipper with her radiant presence. That was how the wolf's search for his otherworldly beloved ended. She'd come to him instead. Indeed, a desperate wish, made from the heart, is always answered, sooner or later. ----------- Warning: mention of violence (wolves, duh) and blood, fluff, extremely gorgeous FL, one hawt ML, and (A LOT OF) sexual tension. *evil laugh* ----------- Note: 1. this is the prequel to Rieka (ONC22) and The Dark Side Of The Moon (ONC23) 2. the story is written from an omniscient point of view. ----------- + If you are reading this on any site other than Wattpad then it is being unlawfully shared.

Beneath Miss Swan's Surface [Completed] (teacherxstudent)
Kris Emerson is counting down the days-two months left of high school, and she's barely keeping it together. She's a storm wrapped in silence, a girl known for skipping class, snapping back, and shutting down. Teachers have given up. Her aunt has one foot out the door. The world expects nothing from her-and she's learned to expect even less in return. Then comes Miss Swan. The new English teacher. Mysterious. Elegant. Out of place. She speaks with a quiet intensity that disarms the room, and for reasons Kris can't explain, she doesn't look away from her like everyone else does. Instead, she lingers. Watches. Listens. At first, Kris doesn't trust her. But slowly, something shifts. The tension in her chest loosens when Miss Swan is near. Their conversations stretch past the bell. Glances last longer than they should. What starts as curiosity becomes something deeper-something charged. And Kris begins to feel it. The way Miss Swan sees her. Not like a student. Not like a burden. But like something fragile, and dangerous, and worth holding onto. Behind Miss Swan's composed smile, though, is a shadow she can't quite hide. There's something in her past-something dark. Something that follows her like a whisper through the halls. A taunting past she's buried deep, but not deep enough. Kris doesn't know what it is, only that it's there. And that it's tied to the flicker of pain behind Miss Swan's eyes. As their connection intensifies, the lines begin to blur. Miss Swan grows distant, then too close. Careful, then too vulnerable. Kris knows something is wrong. She feels the weight of it every time Miss Swan looks at her like she's the only person in the world-and the last person she should ever be near. Because whatever is haunting Miss Swan... it's creeping closer. And whatever she feels for Kris-it's forbidden. Unspoken. But it's there. And now, Kris is tangled in it-unable to pull back, unwilling to let go.Complete

Entangled by magic
"You have completely and utterly bewitched me, Lucia. Every time I look at you, I feel practically hypnotized." ☆✰⭐︎ Lucia Winters was raised in a pure-blood family with a storied history, expectations weigh heavily on her. Her father couldn't say no when she was invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a fifth year. She was deeply nervous about stepping into Hogwarts, not that she would ever admit it out loud. Lucia didn't grow up dreaming of the Great Hall, or getting sorted in front of hundreds of staring eyes. But with carefully composed nervousness there was excitement, she was burning with it. Lucia doesn't know yet what is to come, the power she can yield from her fingertips, a person who could guide her magic, or possibly use it. Sebastian Sallow was in his fifth year of Hogwarts. It started with exhaustion. The kind that settles into your bones - the kind that no amount of sleep or sugar quills can fix. Sebastian hid it with his grin, the sarcasm, the easy confidence. But by now, it was habit, not joy. Anne hadn't improved. Solomon barely spoke to him. So he did what he always did, he hid the bleeding parts. But underneath all of it was a hum, a low, constant desperation. He started digging into older magic, darker spells, things the books said he shouldn't touch. He touched them anyway. Sebastian was not going to sit back and watch his sister wither when he knew there were answers? No. There had to be answers, something, or someone, will show him. ☆✰⭐︎ A collision of two desperate souls, one already falling, the other just stepping into the dark. He needs her - not just because of her magic. She needs him - not just because he sees her clearly. Two people keeping secrets, both too clever for their own good, both drawn to eachother like gravity. Somewhere in their desperation, ambition, and obsession with saving Anne, it started to look like more than a friendship.
Rachel is the daughter of Grogar and Nightmare Moon. She wishes for nothing more than to be reunited with Nightmare. But what lengths will she go to to achieve her goal?
