HAPPY HOLIDAYS - OR ELSE

For mortals, the holidays are a time of cheer and tradition. For the Fae, they are an odd, mortal curiosity-one they've never been bold (or bored) enough to explore. But when Heather suggests a Christmas gathering, Jude and her unlikely patchwork family decide to take the plunge into festive chaos.
Between Oriana's sharp tongue in the kitchen, Cardan's cheeky charm, and Madoc's hawk-like glare, the holiday spirit struggles to survive the whirlwind of Fae and mortal dynamics. As gifts are exchanged and old tensions resurface, it's clear that no one in this family-including Jude, Cardan, or even little Oak-will emerge from this day unscathed by awkward moments, unexpected sentimentality, and maybe even a little joy.
Join the High King and Queen of Elfhame, along with their motley crew, as they navigate mismatched socks, enchanted gifts, and the question of whether peace can ever truly reign-not just in Elfhame, but at the dinner table.
A heart-warming and chaotic holiday one-shot that proves even the most powerful of Faerie royalty can't escape the spirit of Christmas.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete

The Beast's Beauty
He had everything he could ever want; luxuries, fine meals, power, respect... He needed nothing more than himself in the realm to fill his empty heart. Alexander, a prideful, arrogant, and powerful King is cursed to live in the hideous form of a monstrous beast after showing his heartless ways at a masquerade ball. Desperately, King Xander uses all of his own sources of magic to try and break the hell-bound curse, all while staying defiant in following the Enchantress' prophesy of love. After years of living hidden in the castle walls, time and hope began running out for the King and all his servants, who were cursed alongside him. If the King never tried following the love prophecy, could it perhaps be his last chance at redemption? 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒... it was almost laughable. How could a heartless King ever love? And most importantly, how could someone ever love a beast? *I only write when it's cold* ❄️⛈️ #1 in Innerconflict! - 7/5/2025 #6 in lgbtlove 🥹

Is It True Love?
Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant - one who dwells in the poorest village - his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...

A Villain for Christmas (The Holyoake Christmas Series | Book 2)
Sybil 'Billie' Harewicke's life leaves much to be desired, starting with her ridiculously old-fashioned name. She's a rational, dull person - who had the misfortune of being born into a family of local witches. Her main interest in life is the Library Science - and they had just closed the library in her home county of Fleckney. She works in the only bookshop in the county - while everyone expects her to join the family business of fortune telling and potion brewing. Even the one ability that she allegedly inherited from the generations of self-proclaimed psychics, is the least useful out of the Seven Harewicke Gifts! It's holiday time in Fleckney, which means extra work for Billie, both with her family and at the bookshop. When she's offered to escape both and to work in the Bjornsson Art Fund for two weeks before Christmas, she couldn't be happier. She's always dreamt of getting her hands on the magnificent library of the Bjornsson Hall. Except, it turns out that the job has got nothing to do with bibliothecography - and is a nightmare! And a rowdy, unsophisticated crowd of filmmakers arrive at Fleckney to scout locations and research the scene. The only consolation is that none other than Archie Billingsley is among them. He's everything a celebrity should be: handsome, eloquent, prone to spontaneously quoting Shakespeare, and calling his fans 'darling.' He's just starred in a highly successful Austen adaptation, and there are rumours of an upcoming Chekhov stage play. Among other guests of the Hall are Billingsley's agent, an eccentric director, a dozen of crew members, and Eric Dair, an actor best known for playing every thug, mafioso, and terrorist in pretty much every latest blockbuster, at home and across the pond. Billie is hardly enthused at the prospect of interacting with the motley crew - but at least it'll allow her to avoid the local obsession with holiday romance and finding their true love on Christmas! Bah, humbug!Complete

I do not know this person and do not know where they intended to take this story, but I wanted to make a follow up to it and finish it with how I picture the story was resolved in my mind. I highly recommend reading that fanfic for more context and also because it is very well written. I am not the best writer and this is my first fanfic, so please feel free to give feedback if you want. No explicit smut, I don't feel comfortable writing it. I will put any trigger warning disclaimers on each chapter intro. Thank you for reading!
