Legend speaks of the tragedy that befell the Vitale Manor, of a girl with hair like gold and eyes like midnight, cursed into an enchanted sleep by a scorned fairy until her true love bestows their kiss upon her. 

Years pass, then decades. A century later, Narciso, a young nobleman, hunts down the myth in the hope of proving himself Lady Rosella's true love. 

But legends can lie. Even the most beautiful roses have thorns, and by the time Narciso realises that, it may be too late for him.

Melody Of Death by rachelaery
16 parts Ongoing
"Long ago, A man lived in a rose garden's glow, He was in love with his roses below. His eyes had never seen a woman's grace, No sweet voice had touched his heart's space, His roses were his only embrace. Not a day went by he didn't care, He watered, he talked, he'd always be there. But as the years passed, the man grew frail, Bound to his bed, his strength began to pale, No one was left to tend to the veil. The roses faded, withered, and died, When he looked out, their colors had lied. The man was ready to let them go, To part with his wealth, all he'd know... But life had a price he couldn't defy, So he bled, and his roses revived to the sky." Fedora, the daughter of an envoy meant to contribute to making the world a better place, cannot find harmony with the power inside her. Though for years she thought of herself as useless, the death of her father's wife opens a door to a change in everything. Was death an end or a beginning? Fedora had answers to find.
Never Ending Circle Of Reality by LilithAnders0n
6 parts Ongoing
Talia had always lived in a world of fantasy, a dreamer lost in the stories her father once told her. He spun tales of enchanted kingdoms, fearless heroes, and magical lands that existed beyond the stars. To her, those stories were more than just bedtime tales-they were a part of her, a place where she belonged. But when her father mysteriously vanished, reality came crashing down. The magic faded, leaving behind only an aching emptiness. Years passed, and Talia buried herself in the last relic of her father's world-his old book, filled with the same stories he used to tell. She clung to it like a lifeline, believing it was the key to preserving his memory. But one night, something changed. The words on the pages twisted, the ink bled, and before she could react, she was no longer in her bedroom. She was inside the book. Trapped in a kingdom once vibrant but now shrouded in darkness, Talia discovers that the fairytale world her father created is no longer the one she remembers. A curse has twisted its fate, and at the heart of it all lies the shadowy ruler, Soldark-a tyrant with an eerie connection to her past. Now, Talia must navigate this world of elves, mermaids, and sinister creatures, unaware that the very book she treasures is both the key to saving the land... and the chain binding its ruler. Will she fight to preserve the story she once loved, or will she dare to destroy it to uncover the truth?

Princess Claire lived with the curse hanging over her head for all her seventeen years, but she never told him. Prince Owen, her best friend and the love of her life, once had no idea that she was destined to prick her finger on a spindle and sleep for a hundred years, leaving him behind to die long before she woke up. Now the curse is unleashed. Unwilling to give up his love, Prince Owen seeks out the fairy who had created the sleeping curse. The magic could never be undone, but there was a possibility. He could travel through time, journey through Etherea, the abstract realm of reflections and dreams, to be at Claire's side when a hundred years had passed. But Etherea is dangerous. It will take more than courage for them to be united once more. ------------------------------------------------------------- *Cover art hand-drawn by me.
