TW: descripitions of violence, death, psychological horror-ish
Hellooo, I am writing 52 short stories in 52 weeks, I just changed the definition of 1 week of life to 1 week of writing (500 words a day is the minimum for it to count as a day of writing), so updates may be slow. Also, I read a short story of Edgar Allan Poe cuz he invented short stories and I wanted some inspiration and hell did I get some. My way of writing has completely changed to the better bc of him (I write in the characters voice and not the author voice anymore and my pacing is def better) and I hope to improve even more by writing these short stories. It's a short story (obvsly) about folklore in the industrial times in england. Keep that in mind while reading and thanks for reading this long description, hope you'll enjoy it!

Loki x reader || Fragments
Asgard, ruled by the Allfather Odin and Queen Frigga, their sons Thor and Loki sitting along beside them come across a lost girl that is clearly not mortal at their gates one day with no memory of her passed or who she is. Queen Frigga takes the young girl in and raises her in the palace. The girl grows up with the princes and trains with them. From the start, Y/n {the girl} is bullied and tormented by the younger prince Loki, will this constant bickering turn into something else? Or will they just stay forever enemies? DISCLAIMER! No I do not own any of these characters except for y/n. This story takes place when the princes are around the Midguardian {human} age of 6-8 so they are pretty young. There will be a few years time skip to when they are older. I will go in depth of where y/n is from later within the first few chapters and her back story. Also meaning that none of the marvel movies have happened yet. I also made the cover with a picture I found on the internet ;) Please message me anytime I love feedback and making friends. I try to stay as accurate as possible so yes I do research as I write haha. I hope you guys like this! ~ ZiniaComplete
Short Stories
Short stories to explore and improve my writing! The ones that have ♠ beside the title are stories I submitted to Reedsy (using their prompts). There's an external link to their website in the second chapter. The other stories I wrote are based on genre that I wanted to explore. Feel free to suggest any. Feedback would be greatly appreciated as well :)) ~Lyragirl11Complete
(Discontinued) Adventurer || Twisted Wonderland x Male Reader
You find yourself in a body that does not seem to belong to you, and yet you have little to no control over it either. You, the reader, have been observing your vessel for months now, soon turning into a year, and you find yourself influencing his thoughts and decisions every now and then in public. Only when you are alone can you control his body. But that is all it has amounted up to.. so why is it that you can suddenly control his body as if it is your own now?! After a black carriage suddenly appeared at the Driscoll manor, surprising both you and your vessel, whom you learned was Azaki Driscoll a little after being transport into his body. Azaki had been much too curious for his own good and resulted in this.. unfortunate situation. The start of this story will mainly be introducing the family of the body you'll be inhabiting, so you won't be transferred to Night Raven right away, so you can get used to the names of your family members and you can decide if you like my writing style or not. Also, Yuu will still be included, since you, the mc, will have magic in your new body/vessel. This is the first story I've written and I'm not too experienced in writing at all. I won't have a set updating schedule but I'll try my best to get atleast two chapters out a week, if I have the time and motivation. This is a TWST X Male Reader story. I haven't seen many of these so I've decided to write one for all of our wonderful male readers out there that are looking for this kind of story. If there's anything that you all find offensive or any wrong facts, please tell me but do be polite about it, and don't fight in the comments. I doubt that'll happen because from what I've seen, you all are pretty chill- Anyways, I'm blabbering, onto the story! Also, Twisted Wonderland and none of the characters nor any of the pictures beling to me, only the Driscoll family does.Complete
The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete
Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete
Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014)
This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.Complete

The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace
In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.Complete
