After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back.

Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. 

The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. 

Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants.

What Was Left Behind by midnightpages05

Warning: If you haven't finished all fifteen seasons of Supernatural, I suggest you don't read this book as there are spoilers. Now if you don't care about that, please with all means, continue. ------------------------------ Five years ago, Dean Winchester died. The world kept turning. His name became a whisper, a ghost story, a legend fading into the dark. But legends don't stay buried. Dean is back, confused, alive, and with no memory of what came after his last hunt. Not even Heaven has answers. As he searches for the truth, he begins to uncover something darker than death itself. An unfinished story that never should have been hidden. Because somewhere out there is a secret that ties to him in ways no one saw coming. A secret powerful enough to tear apart the balance between Heaven, Hell, and everything in between. And when the truth comes to light, Dean will realize that this fight isn't just about saving the world. It's about what was left behind. Sneak Peek: "But I never knew about you. Dani, If I had... I would have been there. No questions asked." The more he talks, the tighter my throat gets. The lump there is too big to swallow. My vision blurs, tears threatening to spill, traitorous and hot. "What?" The word slips out, fractured and small. A kid's voice. Not mine "I'm so sorry," Dean says, and it breaks me. I feel a tear fall before I even notice it's there. I wipe it away fast, angry at myself for giving in. "No." The word trembles. I don't even recognize my own voice anymore. "No, you're lying." Dean flinches, but doesn't back down. "I'm not." "You're not my father! You can't be!" I scream, throat raw and burning. My whole life, I've lived without a father. That was the deal. No one to lose. No one to miss. No one to disappoint me. But he's already done all three. ---------------------------------- See what happens next in What Was Left Behind. Was Number 8 in #cwsupernatural

The Broken Prince by abbeyberning

When college student Celine Marlowe finds a piece of a shattered unicorn horn in the forest, she doesn't expect it to contain ancient magic connecting her to its owner Soren, the exiled prince of the Velkeros. With Soren's magic trapped inside her and the remaining pieces of his horn still scattered around the world, Celine is pulled into a centuries-old conflict between a corrupt scientific empire called the Argent Accord, and the once mythical beings they exploit. The Accord wants Velkeros blood for immortality, Soren wants to reclaim what they stole from him, and Celine just wants to make it out alive. Magic was never supposed to end up in Celine's hands, but the more she learns, the more she realizes that her and Soren's connection might be the key to saving everything. This story is my entry in the 2025 Open Novella Contest! Follow @OpenNovellaContest to be notified about the next one! The prompt I chose: #12. While hiking through a forest, you stumble upon a unicorn's horn.

The Hidden Royal by Evergreen_GL_Pine

Three years ago, Crown Prince Andrew of Avaloria vanished without a trace. One moment, he was the future of the kingdom-the next, a ghost in the wind. Despite endless searches, no one has seen or heard from him since. The royal family remains silent. The people demand answers. Veronica Neale has only known the quiet life behind the walls of St. Augustine's Orphanage. Her days are filled with books, whispered dreams, and the steady presence of her closest friends: Finn Harren and Levi Sinclair. But when Levi begins acting strangely-distant, guarded, like someone carrying a secret-Veronica starts to wonder if she ever really knew him at all. Then everything changes. A single discovery sends Veronica and Levi fleeing into a world of danger and rebellion. They're swept into the heart of a kingdom in turmoil, where a powerful advisor named Lord Vale is quietly tightening his grip on the throne, and the only way to stop him may be to uncover hidden truths. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Veronica must decide who she is, who she can trust... and whether she's truly ready to step into a destiny far greater than she ever imagined.

A Shattered Peace (An Epic Fantasy Tale) by Eternauta86

The kingdom is sleeping. The monsters are not. An ancient enemy has returned, and Argren is bleeding. Goblins, ogres, and the undead march under the banner of a shadowy power, and the northern frontier is the first to burn. Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who'd rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He's no chosen one, but he's all they've got. Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom's last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom. Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.
