The Candlemaker's Lament by THEDRKPHNX

Phoenix, a quiet candle maker and devoted follower of Hecate, never imagined his craft and rituals would tie him to the fate of multiple realms. But when a vision from Hecate declares him the chosen gatekeeper, his life takes a dramatic turn. Entrusted with maintaining balance between light and darkness, Phoenix is thrust into a battle against the Brotherhood of Adar, a cult bent on unleashing an ancient, apocalyptic entity. Accepted by the Watchers-ethereal beings of immense power who safeguard the realms-Phoenix is tasked with wielding a talisman that could lock or open the gates of reality. His journey takes him through shadowed realms, where his destiny intertwines with an unlikely group of allies: Astrid, an angel who becomes burdened by her own darkness; Lilith, a demoness who is bond by loyalty; and a band of elemental beings whose ties to the mortal world run deeper than they appear. As Phoenix navigates the delicate balance between opposing forces, he forges bonds that challenge his preconceptions of good and evil. These relationships grow from mere alliances into something more profound, as trust, loyalty, and sacrifice deepen the connections among them. But these bonds come at a cost-temptation, betrayal, and the looming shadow of his own humanity threatens to unravel everything. Phoenix's trials with the Watchers reveal unsettling truths: the ancient entity the Brotherhood serves seeks not just destruction, but to merge with him as a vessel, giving it direct access to the realms he is meant to protect. To survive, Phoenix must embrace both light and darkness, not as opposites, but as necessary forces within himself.

The Chronicles of Lumina by SolenVeyra

Along the way, they'll face sentient furniture, grumpy dragons, and magical masquerades, all while discovering the power of friendship, bravery, and maybe even love. Will Kian prove that even the clumsiest wizard can become a hero? Or will Lumina crumble under the weight of enchanted pancakes?

Guardians of the Hidden Realm: The Fire Crown by Helio526

[Rewritten] [Book 1] Twelve-year-old Skylar Sparks never wanted to be special. She was perfectly fine being a Non-Elemental, dreaming of a normal life in London-high school, university, and a future as a veterinarian. But when monstrous Nagas attack her city, everything changes. Skylar becomes the one thing she never expected, the one thing she grew up reading about, the one thing she hated: the Chosen One. Now, as the only Light Elemental in Stelarinia, she's thrown into a world where she's seen as an abomination. Tasked with finding the lost Relics, starting with the Fire Crown, she must navigate ruthless rivals, biased teachers, ancient prophecies, and dangerous creatures lurking in the shadows-all while barely understanding her own Element. With her twin brother by her side, unlikely friendships forming, and a strict Master who prefers whacking her with his staff over giving clear instructions, Skylar must figure out how to survive magical school, master her abilities, and stay alive until the Blue Moon Festival. But there's a problem-someone wants her to fail. And in a world where being the Chosen One means being hunted, failure isn't an option.

A Swing in the Park by GeBaas

It was the summer of 1976 when my father left us. It was a particularly memorable summer and my mother suffered terribly. My father had left her for a younger woman and moved into her apartment which was above a flower shop where she worked. My mother struggled making ends meet and got a job as a nursing assistant at Peaceful Haven, an old folks home that still exists although it is very badly run down now. Because she could not afford a baby sitter, my mother took me to work where I sat in the lounge and watched TV and read books. On her lunch breaks she took me across the street to Faulkner Park where she made out with Fred while I wandered around eating my sandwich. But I quickly grew bored. I was 8 then, a bright young girl with an active imagination. I imagined doors in the sandbox, swings into the sky, doors to another world. And in the rooms of the old lost souls were more doors only waiting to be opened. I took those souls with me on my adventures and eased their loneliness and age with my contagious eagerness to believe anything. And then a terrible thing happened to me, so terrible I could not speak of it. I was in hospital, unable to believe anymore and my old friends came to visit me and to believe for me. I am 30 now, and as I write this and look back I wonder if I still believe. And yes, I do. Believing got me through that summer and believing got my father to come home again.

Breathless(Lumity) by TShark001

A warm summer was erupting from the grounds of Boiling Isles, and where else to go beside The Boiling Isles brand new beach resort. (All students who attend Hexside come free of charge) The only thing is, how long will the joy last before something goes wrong? Has been #1 in LuzNoceda #1 in Lebanese (; #1 in Lumity (like wtf that's awesome!) #1 in The Owl House #1 in LuzxAmity #1 in Amity #1 in Hexside #393 in girlxgirl (believe me that's big for me!) P.S This was my first story, and the writing has MANY spelling errors/grammar mistakes. I might rewrite it soon, but first I have to defeat the cringe the story enlightens within me.

His Abused Mate by Kayla_Morrison

Most impressive rank: 1 - Fairytale *** Casey is all alone in the werewolf world, the only family she has left is her crazy dad. her mum died of cancer, causing her dad to go crazy and start beating Casey. What's worse is that she can't get away from the violence because when she goes to school they do the same. *** I close my eyes so I could listen and smell everything in case this was the last time I would ever be in this beautiful forest. I chase away any bad or worried thoughts because this place seemed so sacred it did not allow them. I breath in and catch the sweet scent of lavender flowers that speckled the ground in little clumps and the dry smell of dirt that hadn't been rained on in a couple of day. I listen to the steady titters of birds as they fly from tree to tree, collecting little twigs and leaves to build their nests with. I listen to the buzz of the bees greedily feasting on the flowers that scattered around the dry forest floor. I open my eyes to take in the scenery, rays of sunlight filter through the green canopy, penetrating through the leaves and casting a green-yellow effulgence over the ground that wavers as the trees rustle in the light whispers of wind. The crunching of dry leaves under my feet alert me so I cast my eyes to the floor and watch as I step on each individual leaf and dry twig, enjoying the snapping sounds that echo through the near silent forest. Gnarly roots dip into ground and twisted branches reach down, fingers grasping the air, as if reaching for me and I shiver, thinking of my father. I cast my eyes up to think of something else and instantly calm as another puff of breeze rustles the leaves on the trees and ground gently. I look ahead and notice the steady thinning of the old trees and run towards it, loving the feeling of the air in my air and clothes. I spot what I think is light dancing on waters surface and sprint for it. Then I break through the trees, making it to the lake.

The 12 Elementals by just-A_potato

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

A Blessing and a Curse [A Lumity FANFIC] by FrostedSpiderLily

(Please Note: I wrote this thing years ago and it is not a reflection of my current work. Read if you want, but be forewarned: It may have good elements, but it has an annoying writing style, the pacing and tone may be all over the place, and it may be just plain bad.) Disclaimer!: I do not own Owl House or its characters! I only own the plot and the OC's that appear-you'll see what I mean by that. Amity Blight and Luz Noceda had recently begun talking about their future together, becoming engaged, when an encounter with a magical dream-fulfiller changes everything. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. Maybe the best option is to just leave and hide. Everyone is aged up in this, Luz and Amity are eighteen, because this is meant to take place before they choose their coven. And fair warning, there may be some sexual content in this book. As well as GirlXGirl, don't like, don't read.
