Chapter 1: The Legacy Unfolds

The crisp Highland air filled the morning as Rory McGregor stood in his grandfather's attic, gazing at a weathered chest. The stories of his ancestors passed down over generations, spoke of a kilt hidden within this very chest-one that held the spirit of the McGregor clan.

His grandmother often said, "A McGregor's kilt isn't just fabric; it's a tapestry of history." The words echoed in his mind as he opened the chest. There it was-a deep, rich tartan woven in shades of green, blue, and black, with threads of silver that shimmered in the sunlight. Rory felt an odd mix of awe and responsibility.

Chapter 2: A Call to Tradition

Rory's discovery couldn't have come at a better time. The annual Highland Games in Glasgow were just weeks away, and this year marked the bicentennial celebration. He decided to honor his family by wearing the kilt to the event, representing the McGregor clan with pride.

But there was a problem. The kilt's leather straps were brittle, the fabric had small tears, and the sporran was missing. Knowing the value of authenticity, Rory sought out the best kilt shop in Glasgow-House of Argyll.

Walking into the store was like stepping into the past. The scent of wool, the soft rustle of tartans, and the gleam of polished sporrans transported him to a world where tradition reigned supreme.

A friendly shopkeeper, Mrs. Fraser, greeted him. "Ah, the McGregor tartan! A fine choice. Let me help restore this masterpiece."

Chapter 3: The Transformation

For the next few days, Rory visited the House of Argyll to oversee the restoration. Mrs. Fraser worked magic, repairing the straps and reinforcing the fabric while matching the exact shades of tartan. They even found an antique sporran that perfectly complemented the kilt.
As Rory tried on the restored kilt for the first time, he felt a surge of connection not just to his family but to Scotland itself.

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.

The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots-and their princess-may not live to see the spring. In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief's sons. Yet conflict lies on more than one side, and for some of the Scots and their allies, loyalty no longer has any meaning. --- **FEATURED on Wattpad's Blast to the Past List** **Highest Ranking: #34 in Historical Fiction 8/24/2020** January Book of the Month in Historical Fantasy in The Gladiator Pit Top 5 in The Historical Award 2019 Best Technical Skill in Fiction in The 2019 Futhark Awards Best Historical Fiction Chapter in What a Chapter Contest 1st: Earnesty Awards 2017 Hidden Gems Awards 2017 The Paper Plane Awards 2017 The Chaos Awards 3!

(KotLC human au) Sophie Foster was a girl everybody loved, but nobody knew that it was her. The person they loved was Moonlark, the world famous singer and songwriter. She's joined on stage by her cousin, Dex Dizznee, as Techno. They're used to their life of anonymous fame, until their parents decide to turn their lives upside down. "We're moving!!!!" Everything changes for the two cousin. Now they have to get used to a new environment, new friends, new love interests, and even a dark secret that has been kept from her all her life. Something people would kill for. Keefe Sencen was crowned prince of Eternalia. Gisela and Cassius Sencen ruled the kingdom beautifully, its flag of green, white, and blue waving high in the air. No, Eternalia is not a rip-off America, why would you ask such a thing? (And no, it's not Sierra Leone, I was just too dumb to check if that was an actual flag before making all of this.) Keefe has been doing great, he has amazing friends, great grades in school, and no pressure as the prince of this tiny kingdom. Until she comes along. Sophie Foster. DISCLAIMER I do not own KotLC or the characters or the songs included in this story. I only have the plot. WARNING Contains serious cringe. Like, really bad cringe. Some serious violence later on. No smut though. And some cussing, more later on though.

Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**
