My Darkening Ember by LisaEvaaOlsen

"This bounty is mine, Xander," He said. It was the first time I ever heard his name. Xander smirked, "Kill me first, then take her." He proposed arrogantly, a silver knife resting confidently in his hand. The man only nodded once as his hand slithered inside his jacket, pulling out another knife. "With pleasure." He finally said and stormed forward. ⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄⋄⋆⋅⋆ After her father died, Elora escaped her arranged marriage, leaving behind the only boy who had ever shown her love. But in pursuit of freedom, she suddenly found herself being hunted by every bounty hunter in the seven territories.

Once Connected by CatesPencil

Once upon a time, there lived a poor little girl in the dirty streets of the human world. With her parents gone and her having to survive alone, she became strong and stiff. As the little girl grew older, she learned dark secret of heart-break, forever sealing her heart in a wall of steel. From that day forward she decided never to want to love again. With her heart set, she became one of the best thieves around, cold-hearted and smart. She went by the code name "Nightstrike". Nobody knew who this thief was, or how to stop them. She was as fast as lightning and left without a trace when morning came. However, one day she was finally caged. Her jail was those crystal green eyes and light blonde hair. With one flash of that dazzling smile she bowed down, her steel heart broken by the man. The man was captivated by this poor little thief and his heart fell for her. The two ran off together, never wanting to stop staring into each other's love struck eyes, and not caring about the world. The girl forever knew that he was only hers and he knew that she was only his. Then they lived happily ever after. Except, that's not how the story went. That 'happily ever after' never happened. Actually, everything in the last two paragraphs never happened. My name is Syrina. I am NightStrike and I have entered the largest pack in the world. My cousin, my mortal enemy. My heart, stone. But my fighting spirit, burning with desire. With the brink of war of rogues and power-hungry men versus pure and powerful mythicals, my story has just begun. And my knives, have yet to strike...

Weaver's Curse by EClaireH

Indeara Vef can't remember anything. Quite literally. Everything before she woke up in the middle of nowhere is a blank slate. Perhaps the Weavers will provide a clue about her foggy past. Kaedwyn Telare-ess is on the run and has been since her banishment from her homeland when she was young. She doesn't know who she can trust, or even who is pursuing her, or why. Toby Reganne refuses to accept the path of arranged marriage that his family has picked for him. That snobby noblewoman can go jump in a lake. He'll find the life of adventure he's always wanted. Sedine Malachite lives in hiding, waiting for the day when the rest of the world finally declares her dead, and she can move freely in her home country again. Isaan is cursed. It wasn't hard to figure out. Not everyone wakes up some days only remembering fragments about themselves. The problem is, he can't even remember who might have cursed him. Two parties set out to find the mysterious Weavers; one led by a distant memory from what can only be another lifetime, the other led by a mysterious voice speaking in their leader's head.

SECRETS AND TRUSTS by Enara_F

Greyenvir Institute is a perfect place to go when one wants to run, one wants to think and one wants to look for themselves. We moved to the year when everything seemed to be okay. Arabella learned to open up more, laugh more, live more, and most of all, love more. After almost losing her life, she decided to live it instead. Everything was fine until they forced a class nobody wanted, a class that forced most to remember events that caused them fear. With all the thoughts and nightmares coming back to her, Arabella thought it best to pull away... again. Caldor on the other hand, didn't seem to like that idea at all, especially now that he's personally training her and learning a lot about her new side. Even after a sickening year, Caldor stuck around the Institute. That year, he mostly kept an eye on the one female trainee. He was so keen on her every action that he never got to realize existed. Not until, he stumbled upon pages, papers, and scrolls that seemed to be out of place in the library, not before he stumbled into a Dragon's cave only to be marked, not before an attack from the summoners that almost had their lives and not before sticking his nose into business he wasn't supposed to and in all, involving Arabella in the process making her a target of a long time nemesis. We all remember the last person interested in Arabella... Will Arabella trust enough to get help from the people who care for her? Will Caldor get out of the trouble he's gotten himself in from someone's secrets? ***This is the second book to the Orders In Greyenvir series***

**For the Open Novella Contest 2025!** "A tale as old as time..." When she receives a cryptic but urgent text message from her father, Isla Lamborne returns to her childhood home in Long Island to find her family in crisis: the family business is failing, her mother is suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's, and her father's normally lighthearted approach to life is threatening to crack under the strain. Several years ago, Ned Dunfee was rendered paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident that he barely survived. Given up on the prospect of ever having a normal life again, all while hiding his past under a lie, the last thing he expects is the bookish, smart-mouthed girl that comes crashing into it, quite literally. After a literal run-in at the family bookstore, at first Isla and Ned can't stand the sight of each other. She thinks he's grumpy and rude; he thinks she's clumsy and irritating. But one rainy afternoon, when she finds Ned caught in a sudden downpour, the sparks undeniably start flying. And they both realize that a second chance at life-together-is within their grasps. Finally. (Using ONC prompts 120, 134, and 135, with 120 being the main plot arc.)

The Raven - Born Out The Earth by milz0923

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted. Until Aya came along and showed her that there was more to life. They became family, sisters and promised to stay together forever. But what happens when one of them finds their mate?

A Storm Of Ashes And Blood - ONC 25' by AnnamitaMuscaria

Reverse Handmaiden's tale set in a fantasy medieval land. *** Fynn of Teleni is an orphan born and raised within the Great Kingdom of Teleni. The particularity of his home is its rare breed of virgin male soldiers. Currently stationed in the same barrack for nearly five years, Fynn is determined to climb in grade and become commander. Seileia is from the Eleenora's wood, an uncharted forest and the last unconquered territory by the Kingdom of Teleni. Descendant from a race of powerful witches and dragon riders, Seileia fears being the next one like her many sisters who have gone missing, taken by the Kingdom of Teleni. With no proof to attest to her suspicions, Seileia storms into Fynn's barrack on her dragon to rescue them all. The plan should have worked as she comes disguised as one of Teleni's soldiers; however, Fynn catches her, and the two of them fight with Fynn exposing her naked body to everyone and calling her "a demon." To fall in love with a demon is the last of their wishes, and yet, outnumbered, the Kingdom of Teleni captured Seileia and leaves her under Fynn's sole guardianship. This is a clumsy fantasy fairytale with an ending that you will never expect. *** ONC 25' Prompt 2: To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist. Prompt 61: The silence in the room is deafening, as though it has a life of its own. It's time to rewrite the fairy tale, but this time, the ending will be yours, and it won't be happy.

Sensible chapters will be marked with *** at the end of their titles.

The Forest by _Tiny_Stories_

Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved. But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees. As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest. Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different. This time, even the humans are in danger. ❤️❤️ Updates: When I can ahh❤️❤️ ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning --- This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)
