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.

The Gilded Curse
In the kingdom of Elfhame, where shadows whisper secrets and power is a deadly game, Lilia has always stood out for one thing: she is human. Raised among the Folk, she learned early that strength is not just a matter of swords and poison, but also of will and words. She seeks neither glory nor revenge, but just a place where she can exist without having to fight for every breath. Beside her is Jude, her dearest friend, who always seems one step ahead in understanding the ruthless rules of the fairy court. But Jude has her secrets, like the way his gaze lingers too long on Nicasia, the proud princess of the sea. And then there is Cardan, a prince with an indolent air and a poisonous smile. He is everything Lilia despises: effortlessly cruel, frivolous by nature, and, above all, a problem she does not want to face. And yet, by a twist of fate, their paths continue to intertwine. Lilia knows that challenging the faeries is dangerous. But challenging Cardan? That could be an even bigger mistake. *This story is inspired by and based on the book The Cruel Prince by Holly Black **Some chapters have repetitions and sometimes inaccuracies, they are under revision so I'm sorry if you read errors**

A Touch of Magic
"Usually innocents like you have time to grow into their magic before they have to break the rules. You don't have that time, Minta. Please believe me, you need to be ready. I'm risking everything to make you ready." I stopped and searched his eyes for further explanation, and there was a near moment of clarity before Edgar looked away, releasing me gently. "Risk what, Edgar?" A Touch of Magic... Minta has a choice; she can turn away from magic or embrace it. Desperate for a destiny, it's a no brainer. Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandraComplete

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...
