Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. 

Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance.

And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead.

As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?All Rights Reserved

A NeverEnding Story Fanfiction Series: The Dream Map-Gateway To Fantasia by DrCharlotteCartee

What if a book could open a door to another world-but at the cost of everything you love? Mia, a librarian lost in the pages of her beloved books, stumbles upon The Dream Map-Gateway to Fantasia in a dusty shop, its ruby-lit cover pulsing with secrets. When she opens it, an alley dissolves into a portal, thrusting her into a labyrinth of realms where stories breathe and time bends. From enchanted forests to crystal spires, singing deserts to valleys where rivers flow backward, Mia's journey is a kaleidoscope of wonder and peril, guided by the mysterious map that writes itself. But every step comes with a price. Shadows wearing the face of her best friend Clara haunt Mia, born from the guilt of ignoring Clara's calls for the sake of stories. Joined by Clara, fellow seeker Lila, and reluctant ally Eli, Mia battles rival seekers, ancient creators, and her own doppelgänger, each wielding maps that threaten to unravel reality. The Dream Map, a sentient force, tests her with trials of echoes, unspun tales, and fractured realities, forcing her to confront the mistakes that broke her friendships and the choices that could save-or destroy-her world. As the map's source awakens, revealing itself as a living entity that crafts seekers and shadows alike, Mia faces a truth: to seal the void threatening all realms, she must sacrifice pieces of her heart-her love for stories, her adventurous spirit, her very identity. With Clara's trust, Lila's courage, and Eli's redemption at her side, Mia weaves stories to mend realities, but a new figure emerges, its map radiating untamed power, hinting at a deeper origin yet to be faced. Will Mia balance the map's magic before it rewrites her world? Or will the stories she loves consume everything she holds dear? Dive into a fantasy adventure where every page turned is a step into the unknown, and every choice echoes across worlds.

Silent Heroes: Wildcat by unbrokenworld

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Trolls Fanfiction: Iris by TrollsObsessed

Characters belong to DreamWorks, plot belongs to me. (Well, Iris, Titian, and Blossom are my characters but you get the point lol.) Sequel to Blue Poppy! "Do you want to be seen as more than a Princess?" The voice from the shadows still sent a shiver of fear through Iris. Where was it coming from? Who did it belong to? But the tone of the male speaker seemed to hold great promises, and she closed her eyes. She wanted to be more than just a Troll Princess. She wanted it so badly she'd be willing to jump off a waterfall for it. "Yes...I do." Once again, this story does have some 18+ content! If you do not like that stuff and read it anyway, don't expect me to be happy if you leave complaints about it. YOU CHOSE TO READ IT EVEN THOUGH I LEFT WARNINGS!

Captured By A Demon by shepherd4583

I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."

The Last Shadow Witch by Kem-Bee

My body sinks, water rushing through my nose and mouth like icy needles. I keep my eyes open, praying for a miracle. And then-he appears. A glowing form slicing through the water like lightning. His ginger hair floats around him, a halo of fire in the depths, dancing like the sea itself. He looks like an angel. My angel. My beautiful, guardian angel. --- Nineteen-year-old Marinette Karnowsky knows life as a bed of thorns and broken glass. Abandoned, abused, and barely surviving college on her own, she's grown used to pain.

A town where the supernatural breathes beneath every shadow. There, Marinette uncovers truths she never imagined. Her beloved sister is not entirely human-and the town, not entirely safe. As she tries to make sense of it all, Marinette meets her sister's best friend: a golden-haired boy with a blazing smile and fire in his soul. The deeper she falls, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them-even if it risks everything, especially her sister's heart. But their connection runs deeper than attraction. There's a secret buried in the halls of her new college, one that ties Marinette, her sister, and her mysterious fire-haired prince in ways none of them fully understand. And as that secret begins to surface, so does a destiny Marinette never asked for... and may not survive.
