Heart of the Sea by NymKaneis

Once, people believed that there exists something of a rare ability. Something of the impossible. Only the royalties of Clautius have actually seen it. No person of an inferior position than them had the privilege of gazing upon the said miracle. But for decades, the said miracle has gone missing. And whoever finds it would have honor never before bestowed on anyone. But none have yet to succeed. It cannot stand the heat of the sun. For it was one with the water. It can command any form of water, may it be the pond, the river and most especially the sea, to heal anyone who holds it if the need arises. And in isolation, it was kept. In cold, it survived. And in heat, it shattered. It was known as the 'heart of the sea'.

Lessoc Fountain - a fairy-creature tale by LeighWStuart

Selected for Editor's Choice! Some secrets refuse to remain silent. Deep in Switzerland, the Intyamon valley was once home to many humans and strange beings. Years ago, in a wooden chalet rooted on the side of the valley, there lived a young girl who was desperately lonely. In the middle of Lessoc, a small village, there was a fountain. Humans had a charming legend they told about it, but fairy creatures whispered of dark deeds and bloodshed. On a farm nearby, there was a boy growing callous and cold from the harsh life he was given. A path in the valley forest led to a hill covering a vast hall under its rocky layers. A fairy king held his court in that hall and the great fairies danced and feasted throughout the nights. There was a horse with a battle-scarred coat and soul, who longed for redemption. And there was one last creature whose heart has withered away long ago. Lessoc Fountain would call them them together.

Eden's First Daughter by NicoleShaffer97

(Lilith Series Book One)There are two sides to every story, but that doesn't mean that both are always heard. That's the funny thing about history, we don't often hear it from the voices that matter most. The same goes for me. Though the story of the Garden of Eden may seem clear as day, the truth of the matter has been long lost to time and the horrors that happened within it are now only known to its original residents. Though Adam may have been the first man to walk the Earth, to many people's surprise, Eve was not in fact the first woman, for that title would be held by another tortured soul that came before her; a soul who fled after refusing to be subservient to a man that would do unspeakable things to her against her will. Though he was later banished from the garden after his new wife trusted a particularly clever serpent who tricked her into eating fruit from the single tree that had been deemed forbidden, Adam still became famous for his role in humanity while his true first wife seemingly disappeared from the record, only appearing in subtle reference as the 'monster' she became, damning mankind as she spread a plague of demons across the Earth. But now, the question remains, just who was Eden's first daughter? This story takes place in the spring of 2024, and the Archangelic Council is having trouble making a crucial decision that will greatly impact the world. In a dire time like this, they were told by Adonai, God himself before he left the world in their hands long ago, that another council could be called in to help. After putting it to a vote, the New Order was to be assembled and their leader was none other than the wife of both Samael and Lucifer, the mother of all demons herself, Lilith. This story covers important issues including but not limited to bullying, self-harm, suicide, and sexual assault. Going into detail about these things is important to the story and viewer discretion is advised.

The Last Nymph by Califia

Maera was a nymph. Or was she? She claimed to be a genuine Nereid from antiquity. Right out of the pages of Greek mythology. Well, that's what she told Doc Roussos who lived alone on the island. Kalamos was remote and sparsely populated. An exquisite pine-covered jewel that rose steep and majestic out of the turquoise and cobalt Mediterranean. Maera would visit Doc on those summer nights uninvited. Arriving unannounced, she would appear at his ruin--a formerly destroyed Venetian castle. It was a place over the years he had more-less inherited, as volunteer custodian of the archaeological structure. But who really was this honey-haired girl who began to invade Doc's chosen isolation? Somewhere in her twenties, beautiful, and with a musical voice and a graceful gait, she seemed real enough to the retired professor. But it was her nightly stories which gave him pause for disbelief. They were tales from a long-ago past. And not just of previous ages, but romances and adventures Dr. Roussos had been long familiar with. Mythological accounts capable of beguiling a charmed listener well into a world time before time . . . But were the stories all she offered him?

The First Artist was a Woman with No Name by BBrennann

When you close your eyes and picture the first person to ever paint the walls of a cave, do you picture a man or a woman? When you imagine the first tool humans developed, is it something deadly, like a spear tip, or something nondescript, like a bag to carry berries? When you think of human interactions with nature, is it one of conquest or cooperation? The Woman has no name and no voice, yet she discovers that she possesses a power never before seen by anyone in her small community. She simply wants to live her life, but when a powerful spirit threatens her tribe and her home, she cannot sit around waiting to be rescued. The Woman grapples with towering questions as she carves a place for herself in the world. What defines the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world? Does power only manifest as brute strength? And what is she willing to do to protect those she loves?

Snow Mountain by greydaygirl

When a fallen warrior trapped on a mountain saves an injured woman from the snow, little does he imagine she will be the key to both his freedom and his undoing. Alone on his mountain, 'Fyar' the herdsman cares for little other than his goats and his solitude. But when he finds an injured woman in the snow, memories of his time before the mountain and what drove him there start to resurface. Trapped together with the woman in the confines of his cave home by the winter snow, days turn to weeks, and along with old memories, other things long thought lost start to stir in Fyar's chest. Jalintu, as her giant savior names her, has known nothing but cruelty. So when she is rescued by a beast of a man she is surprised by his gentleness, patience, and lack of ulterior motives. Eventually coming to trust 'Fyar', as she names him for the feathers woven in his hair, she discovers the true reason why he is trapped on his mountain. Will she be able to help Fyar as he helped her? Or are some animals more comfortable living in their cages? Romantasy set in the mountains of ancient Europe, Snow Mountain describes what happens when two cultures, pasts, and hearts collide on one snowy peak.

Hidden in the Heartwood {sapphic paranormal} by cjtruz

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead. Fortunately, the handsome genderqueer hillbilly up the road, River Hawthorne, is just as eager [maybe too eager] to break the curse. Together, they navigate the woods where hungry trees walk and other demonic haunts roam, growing closer every moment.
