Usually, Alec Lawrence is prepared for anything the universe could throw at him. And then the universe - 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 - threw Kieran Merel at him, and all that preparation was for nothing.

Because Kieran is a Darkling, a shadowy guardian for those who wield magic, and Alec is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 someone who wields magic. Thus, Kieran should be entirely invisible to him.

But he's not.

If the universe could leave the already-startling truth at that, maybe Alec could have forgotten the whole thing. Unfortunately, the universe is set on not making Alec's life convenient - or maybe that's just Kieran. When the guardian decides Alec's help is his charge's only hope, he's swept into a world that should never have existed, and if history has taught him anything... well, he might be the one who destroys it.

Now, 50 years later the powers reappear in six unsuspecting youths who have their lives turned upside down in an instant. Faced with their newfound powers and the responsibilities that come with them, they learn that their world may very well be destroyed if they cannot stop the enemy who wishes to destroy it. Punished by the gods and locked away for centuries, a mysterious wizard escapes his confinement and plots to unleash hordes of demons on the mortal world. But it could all just be an elaborate ruse to cover up something more sinister brewing beneath the surface...

Never Fire [ONC2020] by Tweeter109

Sienna Diaz has lived the life of a nameless face, a retreater from threats, and a thief of lives. Every time she lights a match, she is transported to another world. Surviving as a woman with many pasts and identities, she can hardly call herself her own. Despite her desire for control, however, the fire -- her matches -- remain her only escape. But as a pawn to the universe and to the flames themselves, Sienna finds that escape is only a delay of the inevitable: a life of wandering and loneliness. After an accident, another burnt match Sienna lands in a new world where Fire is an entity, a deity to its citizens. The opportunity is clear: overpower Fire and rewrite her identity. This time, starting afresh would be real and permanent. Settled. But this Fire is unpredictable and temperamental, worshipped by his priests and guarded in his own temple like a treasure. When Sienna Diaz was younger and still lived in a place she remembered as Nevada, her parents told her to never play with fire. She agreed -- no, she would never play with it. She would kill it. *Open Novella Contest 2020 Entry* *Awesome cover by @CelticWarriorQueen17*

Gold That Appears To Be Silver by AmHedgehog

~Where others see silver through their glasses of eyes, does gold blind my bare eyes The world is a peaceful place that is made cruel by people. Where one is bullied because of his bad looks, is the other significantly praised because of his beauty. A good heart isn't defined by good looks, since the most beautiful people can hide the ugliest hearts. This world is entirely different in the eyes of Jaydee, who sees people for the heart they carry inside of them. When she meets the beautiful Alex, things are starting to change in her life. Nothing is what it appears to be, even through Jaydee's truthful eyes. A prophecy forces Jaydee to use the one thing that she has kept away due to her lack of trust in people. Her heart. Use it and strings will tie them around three people, making the unbreakable bond that will unravel all the mysteries, including those that are not a part of this world. Deny it and keep living in the superficial world. Meet the book that comes from Earth but that is touched by magic once eyes are laid upon those words.

Tristan steals shadows to make familiars out of them. It was all completely harmless until he stole the shadow from a demon, effectively stripping away all of their powers. Now Gregor is stranded in a dimension not his own without magic. Tristan agrees to help him get home, the least he could do because it was mostly his fault (and totally not because he has a crush on Gregor, or because of Gregor's compulsion magic or because he kissed him.) But then everything goes wrong when they get attacked by fire elementals who work for the demon Earl Alfred of Aleman who is also after Gregor's magic. The elemental manages to steal the shadow and now Gregor and Tristan must travel through different dimensions to get the shadow back and slip the Earl and his henchmen in the process.
