In a world where magical folk and non-magical folk coexist, peace was hard-won. After a great war forced both sides to unite against a common enemy, they learned to live in harmony. This delicate balance of the world is where we find  Benjamin, a young feline wizard with much to learn.

Benjamin's journey begins at the prestigious Astral Grove Academy, a once-hidden school nestled within  a mountain, a castle that now spans inside and out. Though eager to master his magical abilities, Benjamin struggles with one essential skill: flying a broom. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Kinn, a mysterious wolf whose dark unknown magic and cold demeanor intrigue and confuse him. Is it curiosity, a fated bond, or perhaps the budding spark of something deeper?

As Benjamin navigates the challenges of his new school, he forms bonds with a diverse cast of characters, including the nature witch Karen, the protection witch Yui, and the light witch Satomi. Together, they explore the castle's ancient halls, uncovering secrets that lie within its shadowy corners.

"Embracing Hope" is a tale of self-discovery, love, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship set against a richly woven magical world. Benjamin learns to embrace his true self, uncover hidden secrets, and face trials and tribulations on the path to understanding love's profound power.

Join Benjamin, Kinn, and their friends in this enchanting adventure filled with twists, turns, and the timeless magic of hope. Experience a world where every creature has a story, every spell has a purpose, and love is the most powerful magic of all.

Discover the enchantment of "Embracing Hope" and follow Benjamin's journey as he embraces the adventure of a lifetime. Uncover secrets, forge unbreakable bonds, and experience the slow, tender growth of a love that defies all odds in a world where anything is possible.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges
46 parts Complete
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Cover credit goes to @CeeMTaylor. Go check out her books too if you like Dark Fantasy Romance-she writes some pretty incredible stuff! Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

The Burning Crimson Rose by tater_t0t3
15 parts Complete Mature
Yami Atem, a once cruel and heartless king, was obsessed with power and therefore, only cared for himself. However, because of his cold heart and selfish ways, he paid the ultimate price: Becoming a hideous dragon beast. Now Yami has one year to make things right by falling in love with another, who will return those same affections, otherwise he will remain with the doomed fate of staying a dragon beast forever. However, due to his ghastly form, he has locked himself away in his castle, abandoning the idea that he could break this curse, for who could ever love a beast such as he? Yugi Motou is a young man who only wishes for someone to understand what it's like to be an outcast, to be misunderstood by the world all because you're different in some way. It may seem like a petty thing I ask for, but to Yugi, it would mean the world to have someone who knows just what it's like to feel unwanted all because you're different. However, while going to run an errand for his grandfather, Yugi accidently stumbles upon a castle with a shining blue rose to light his path, meeting the infamous Yami Atem. So then, what will come when these two meet, and can Yugi break through Yami's thick walls to restore what he has lost or will it be too late to warm his frozen heart? Disclaimer: I do no own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters, only the story. Parody of "Beauty and the Beast" with my own dark twist on it, and not everything will be accurate. Yami/Yugi pairing. Also, sexual themes and strong language will be present, so to young viewers, viewer discretion is advised, read at own risk

[DISCLAMER] The story is currently on hold until I figure things out. The story is slightly inspired off of the theme of Harry Potter, but plot and storyline is completely different. This book is fictional. Any resemblance of the events, characters, places etc. to The real life world is merely a coincidence. If you find any errors in the writing, I would love to be corrected! Missing some errors while reviewing and having mistakes is completely normal, as everyone makes mistakes :) My writing may not be the best, but I'm trying to improve. The first few chapters may not contain best writing style, my skill get better within the next chapters (especially from chapter 8) CHAPTERS EVERY WEEK!
