During WWII, two 14 year old kids named Willa and Schaffel, attempt to escape the traumatic events they've experienced...

Willa has been locked up by the Nazis for years, after surviving a devastating bomb which roared through Warsaw in 1939, killing her mother. Ever since she was used for her unexplainable powers to win against the allies.

Schaffel, living an isolated and blissful life on Actaeon, a planet inside a hidden solar system beside Earth is unaware of any tragedy, other than being bullied for being different. Until, his planet is attacked, and Schaffel loses everything he once held dear to him. But when he suspiciously wakes up to be on Earth afterwards, the place he once treasured from his books, he learns it's very different than it seems. That is, until he meets Willa. 

Schaffel and Willa together uncover the evil forces threatening Earth and Human existence, along with ugly truths and secrets they never knew.

REDEMPTION by Nyctophile_22

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?

where ghosts wander || ONC 2022 by nadunawrites

Lila Unwinter is not a very talented witch; she mostly has a lot of ambition, determination, and enough spite to last her a few hundred years. How else was she supposed to survive the past sixteen years, after she lost both her best friend and her family over something she can barely even remember now? They're not dead, of course, but for all that they care about her, she might as well be. But then her magic decides to send her home for lunch break one day, and she not only finds out about a curse that's taken hold of her way back when she was only six years old, but also reconnects with her childhood friend (who's considerably less alive now). A series of events unfolds that may well redefine Lila's perception of both love and magic itself. Featuring: way too many ghosts, the town at the Edge of the world, knife and sword-wielding girls, sapphic childhood-friends-to-lovers, ghost kitties, weird magic and magical creatures, and a certain three-headed dog. ________________ an entry for the open novella contest 2022

Away with the Fairies by SilviaKrpatova

☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆
