I did not question much how it happened, nor why. I knew there must have been a reason to all of this. A reason I probably will never know. But my reality is this of right now, one which I have no choice but to accept. Forced to relive the events of a past I most likely would've liked to be forgotten and plagued by the knowledge of the future that has not yet come to pass. My death was innate, to that I'm certain. I served a purpose and one alone. And when my end came... it was inevitable. I did not refuse it yet not embraced it either. I only wished for the torment to end once and for all.
Being wrong has always been a rarity of mine. Yet it wouldn't explain how I'm back. Rather, my memories are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dedicated to my late grandmother. The woman who had never exploited her talents and wishes due to a forgotten and traditional era.
If she had been born on a different time, she would've been an exceptional person.

The secret giromoire : roots and rituals
Agnes had always been enchanted by the world of witches-not the kind found in fairy tales, but the ones in books and TV series, casting spells with effortless grace. She dreamed of wielding magic, of feeling the energy of the earth hum beneath her fingertips. But unlike the witches in stories, she wasn't born with nature's gift. No hidden power stirred within her, no ancient lineage traced back to forgotten covens. Yet, she refused to accept that magic was beyond her reach. Determined, she began experimenting-mixing herbs, chanting incantations, and lighting candles in the secrecy of her dimly lit room. But she skipped the history, ignored the warnings, and dismissed the need for preparation. To her, magic was something to be grasped, not something to be understood. The first few spells were harmless, or so she thought. A flickering candle here, an unexpected gust of wind there. But then, strange things began happening-whispers in the shadows, dreams that felt too real, an eerie pull toward places she didn't recognize. She had opened a door without knowing what lay on the other side. As Agnes delves deeper, she must confront the truth: magic is not a game. The path of a witch is not just about power but understanding, respect, and responsibility. And sometimes, when you call upon forces you don't understand, they answer. Now, she must find a way to set things right-before the magic she longed for consumes her entirely. preparation and without knowing the history.
Captive of the Shadows (The Fairy Code Book #1) by Kaitlyn Weiss
It started out like any other day. How was I to know it was my last day on Earth? You see, on that day, my boss sold me to Doran, the King of Shadows, ally of Chaos, and ruler of one of the three faery courts. Sounds crazy, right? After all, I'm a geneticist, not a slave. Before I knew it, I was transported to another world - a world where the very landscape killed most humans. Somehow, against the odds, I survived. But how? And why was I here? I soon found out that the faeries were barren and facing extinction. The King of Shadows set before me the daunting challenge of finding out why. The consequence for failure? Facing an unbearable fate. But someone or something was out to stop me.... My search for a solution would lead me to secrets about my own origin and to unexpected feelings for this cruel land and its harsh ruler. Oh, Chaos! What a wild ride!Complete

刺され、最強の魔術師として蘇る。平和を望む。力は混沌をゆく。
"You're gonna get stabbed one of these days, seriously." I used to just laugh off my friends' warnings. Blessed with a silver tongue, I'd toyed with countless women since I was a child, and my college days were spent cycling through dozens of them. I was that kind of womanizing scumbag, and I genuinely believed there was no way I'd ever get stabbed in a law-abiding country like Japan. ...That is, until the night an ex-girlfriend I'd carelessly tossed aside stabbed me in the back. As my consciousness faded, I remembered my grandmother's words, "Everything you do comes back to you," and I died regretting my own foolishness.
Life and Death
Disclaimer: This novel involves abuse, sexual abuse and suicide. A destiny I never chose. A life I never wanted. A heart I swore never to give again. Death should have been my release. Instead, I awoke in another world... in another body... in another life. It should have been a second chance. But scars don't fade just because the skin is new. The memories still haunt me, silent shadows that twist my every thought, every fear, every breath. I care for no one. I trust nothing. I wish only for an end... yet something, some cruel, invisible force always pulls me back from the edge. I am a pawn dressed in silk and gold, forced into a game I never agreed to play. But even in a heart frozen by trauma, the warmth of life begins to seep in. Slowly, I begin to feel again. To breathe again. To hope. Then fate strikes once more. Another decision, made without me. Another future, sealed by hands not my own. And I realize... I may have escaped death, but not destiny. In a world of monsters, thrones and betrayal, can a shattered soul carve her own fate or will the past always bind her to a future she never wanted?
Wicked Game (OUAT Peter Pan Fanfiction)
!!!Undergoing Editing!!! *previously known as The Red Queen Effect* "It's strange what desires could make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you." ~ Wicked Game by Chris Isaak There were many times that I could remember hearing the stories about people falling in love or meeting their one true love. Stories that had allowed me to fantasize about meeting my true love, the one that fate had chosen for me. However, it seemed like it truly was never meant to be, according to my grandmother, "Love is a Queen's greatest weakness. Remember, my dear granddaughter, you are a Princess now but you will soon be a Queen who will rule with an iron fist and an empty heart." But was love truly a weakness? According to the stories that I have read and heard around the castle, love seemed to be something magical and incredible, especially if it was true love. So, how could someone determine it to be a weakness? It wasn't until I landed in Neverland that I had to find out the truth the hard way, in the most excruciating and heart-wrenching way possible. Yet, It was my fault after all, I decided to make a game out of it and someone else decided to use that to their advantage. If I was given the chance to change something from my past it would have been to prevent myself from all of the heartache that was to come. Maybe then I could have saved myself the trouble of having to rip out my own heart. But you know what they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I am the daughter of the Evil Queen, the granddaughter of the former Queen of Hearts, there is no such thing as a happy ending for people like me. What a Wicked Game life plays. *Comments and votes are always welcomed. ** I do not own Once Upon A Time, only my characters Clara, Ravenna, Kingsley, and Flynn and any ideas for this story.Complete
