Cynthia knows virtually nothing about her past, and neither do her siblings. All they know are their names, that they reside within the protection of Avalon, and that they would be nothing without The Lady. They were created within the heart of a storm, and only under The Lady's watchful care will they fulfill their potential for true greatness. She gave them everything; a beautiful life full of magic, enchantment, and wonder. A full life of riches and all of the comfort they could ask for. Yet, still, there is something missing; there always is. Perhaps it's that itch of curiosity that leads her to sneak out. Or perhaps it's just the call to the void that beckons her to go beyond The Mist. Though, no matter how many times she goes searching for whatever she thinks she's looking for, something always feels missing.
Until one night, a one-sided reunion with a golden-eyed thief may lead her to the answers she's looking for.

(Author's Note: Hello dear readers! Wow, I can't believe I started writing this back in 2016. I was still in Grade 9 when I last updated this. I've been meaning to write more lately and while I was nostalgically reading stuff from my teen years I was thinking about maybe updating and continuing with this. I'll be editing the original chapters and trying to continue the story on a semi-regular schedule to get back into the habit of writing. Though disclaimer I haven't read The Child Thief since I was in Grade 8-9 and have forgotten a lot of it. However, my university self still has a love for fairy tales and myths so I'll keep with the original setup, though warning this will probably not be the most cannon-compliant work unless I re-read The Child Thief sometime in the future. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I hope that you also have a fun time.

Avalon Isn't What It Used To Be
My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home. Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father. But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice. Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings. *** What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.Complete
Miss Potter -DISCONTINUED
"Did you know that your name is a dragon constellation?" She could hear Draco chuckle at what she just said as she faced him, wearing this grin on his face. "If I didn't know that then my grandaunt Wilburga would have my head." "Right," Finley grinned to herself as she looked down on her shoes. "Did you?" "Did I what?" Draco asks her. Turning his attention to her to see her frowning slightly at the ground, her brows furrowed with a small frown on her lips, looking like she had a lot of thought in mind. "Did you put your name in?" She asked him, "I know it's none of my business, but-" "I did." "Oh," she pauses. "Why? Scared for your brother?" "I am," she answers truthfully. "Just the idea of him being in danger scares me," she pursed her lips. "Well," Draco sighed, taking his back off the train car's side, and shoving his hands in his coat pockets. "It's not like the cup would pick him in the first place, right?" He tried to comfort her with a warm look on his face. "Right," she gives him a small smile, she could tell that he was comforting her just a little bit. And it worked. ~ ~ ~ ~ "In which she tried to shrug it off as a god awful dream." ~ ~ ~ ~ The story continues as Miss Slytherin maneuvers her new life thinking that all the awful things she's felt were all just a dream.

The book's plot and my characters that are not originally in HP are entirely mine alone as well as some settings that are not included in the books.)Complete
New Dawn: Caspian X Reader
When two of the Pevensie children came to stay at their cousins' house, nobody would have guessed that the visit would have them sailing the seas of an entirely different world. (Name) and her brother Eustace are entirely unfamiliar with Narnia, but as friendly as much of the Dawn Treader's crew is to the siblings, one particular prince is more than welcoming to the eldest. *Disclaimer: I do not own and am not affiliated with the Chronicles of Narnia franchise.

The Daughter | The Chronicles of Narnia
"The sons of Adam and daughters of Eve shall rule, but the oldest daughter shall never be equal to her siblings" Anne Pevensie was constantly overshadowed by her siblings. She was shy and smart, but not as smart as Susan, and not as defiant as Edmund. She was the oldest daughter, a burden she bore every day. When Lucy brings her and her family through a wardrobe and into Narnia, Anne has hope that maybe this magical world will fill what she was missing. It doesn't. It gives her the short straw, just as England had. Based on the Chronicles of Narnia movies by Disney Prince Caspian x OC in later booksComplete
The High Queen of Narnia
Do you ever feel like you were born into the wrong world? Because that is exactly how Elodie Penvensie felt. Her twin brother Peter, and the rest of her younger siblings never understood her. In fact, they used to distance themselves from her quite a bit, seeing as Elodie's nose was always in a book, dreaming about the fantastical worlds she wished she was born into. And sometimes, wishes come true. Elodie's did when her youngest sister, Lucy, found herself walking through the wardrobe and into a land covered in snow. And for a moment, her life was perfect. It was everything she could've ever wanted. But all good moments must come to an end as they accidentally left the magical kingdom of Narnia. But when they're finally summoned back to face an army by the likes of which they'd never seen before, Aslan's words ring true. Nothing happens the same way twice. Because this time, they're given aid by Prince Caspian, the Tenth. And Elodie has never met someone so similar to her and yet so different in her entire lifetime, both in and outside of Narnia. So join Elodie on the adventure of a lifetime. Join her in Narnia, because Narnia has missed their High Queen. #1 in chroniclesofnarnia #3 in reepicheep #9 in eustace #9 in whitewitch #10 in thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #12 in princecaspian #22 in lucypenvensie #30 in peterpenvensie #36 in edmundpenvensie #42 in narnia (Prince Caspian - Voyage of the Dawn Treader) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or plotlines.

I miss me
They try to run but there's no time. We try to hide but there's No TIME. when I was a kid, I tried to learn all I could but now I wish I could lose it all. <TW: As I lay here choking on my blood I stare at the heavens and ask for one last ray to see me off. As the rain washes my blood along the earth, being soaked in by the hungry land. That day something was different, something changed in me. A new light shines deep within me, my torso once in two now slowly becoming one as black tar slowly stitched me back together. The greedy land soaks up my blood, now not a drop lies in my body but the gods are ready as the earth slowly starts to reach for me taking me to its restless lands replacing my blood with tar. ^ This fic is a combination of a BBC's Merlin set in the future/ current times but it's more of an Adjacent timeline to ours, OC insert, and a bit of Arthurian myth set in the modern day. This is my first story so sorry if it's bad Even though it's an OC insert it can be read as a self-insert. OC's name is pronounced as Z-AYAH (Zaya) TW -bad writing - gore - gay? - no real sense of time - I'm a big fan of angst - I ship Lancelot x Gawain as well as Merlin x Arthur. And may add it to the book. - no publishing schedule
GREEK KIDS
This story is based off a royal high role play I did with some strangers, but we are really good friends now so I will not call them "strangers" its based off greek god's kids, and their story but if it was a mix of fantasy and modern day. We had really fun doing the roleplay and I hope you enjoy the drama! I do wanna be clear don't assume they have siblings because of Disney movies, they don't have siblings unless I add them. Also this story is not canon to any greek mythology it is just a fun little roleplay series I do not mean to mess up any theories or however greek mythology works! Thank you!! Protagonists: Zaria {daughter of Aphrodite} Nicholas {son of Hades} Heart {son of Cupid} - The character I played Extra characters we played: Melody {daughter of Athena} Axel {son of Ares} - The extra character I played We were the only ones in the roleplay, but I just added some other characters because while we played some people talked to us and some people joined then left, none of them made it to the end except the three of us . So some of these characters are real and some are not!! I just needed more characters because this is a story! Astrid {son of Nyx} - real person made up character Ellie {daughter of Hera} - real person made up character Wilbur {son of Zeus} - made up Wren {daughter of Poseidon} - real Theria {daughter of Uranus} - made up for the series but she is in greek mythology Estrella {daughter of Demeter} - made up Astelina {daughter of Demeter} - made up Voluptas {daughter of Psyche} - made up for the series but she is in greek mythology Trickster {son of Hermes} - made up One last thing, I do deeply apologize if I messed up a greek god's look because I did make greek gods in royale high and added them to the story. Every greek god I tried to make has a reference photo. So if I did their design wrongly I'm sorry!! Byee :3! Hades Cupid Psyche Demeter Zeus quit.Complete
Cassiopea's School for the Gifted
In a world where magical creatures and humans intermix, there are two types of magic and two types of people. Dark magic and light magic. Good people and evil people. Our main character is going to learn that your powers do not define who you are as a person. Arion Griffin lives in a society where people with light magic are 'good' and people with dark magic are 'bad'. He comes from a long line of dark magic. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for his social life since his family's reputation precedes him and makes it so no one will talk with him. He is worried it will make his greatest fear come true. He is terrified he is on the path to becoming evil like his parents. Then, one day at school he gets an invitation from Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. Sure he's heard of it, but only in rumors. The school is just for magical creatures to learn more about themselves and their history. It was made over three hundred years ago and still run by a fairy named Cassiopea and her daughter Cassia. Arion is excited to go because his parents refuse to teach him anything about other magical creatures other than dark magic. They believe it is irrelevant for him to know because they think he will take over the world one day. And why should a leader know anything about his subjects? Arion convinces his parents that if he goes to the school he can do recon on the other magical people so he can learn about them and make it easier for him to take over. With no friends, no siblings, and a very negative outlook on life, he heads to Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. He makes friends and learns that just because he has dark magic, doesn't mean he is evil. *Idk if this is actually a good story but I had a lot of fun writing it! :) *This story has been editedComplete
