A cursed jewel thief and a desperate gangster must work together to save their two worlds.

     Leo Kane keeps his feet firmly on the ground. His whole life is focused on protecting his younger brother Kaleb. When Kaleb is kidnapped by sky pirates, Leo is willing to risk it all to get him back.

    Finn Grace likes to keep her head in the clouds. She may be a thief, but she's a dreamer too. For years she's worked to save-and steal-enough to start a new life in another city. Her plans for the future come crashing down when a dangerous heist leaves her cursed. The only hope she has now is to break the curse before it takes her life.
     
     As their goals bring them closer together, they begin to realize that their problems are more connected than they thought. Only together can they save their worlds.

Based on the Cursed Jewel and Flying World prompts.

Shapeless Hero by Lefthills
58 parts Ongoing Mature
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.

10 parts Ongoing Mature
Princess Dove has always known her destiny-to become queen of the realm-but the path to the throne is fraught with challenges. With her loyal knight, Carlos Hearten, by her side, she faces political intrigue, battles with dangerous enemies, the heavy weight of royal expectations... and a forced engagement?. Through each trial, Dove's courage is tested, and her resolve hardens, but the throne feels ever more elusive. When a long-lost family secret comes to light, Dove encounters her estranged sister, a mysterious figure with her own hidden agenda. Their reunion sparks both hope and chaos, as their shared past unravels and old wounds threaten to destroy everything Dove has worked for. The two sisters must navigate their complicated bond, but betrayal, secrets, and dark forces beyond their control force them into a precarious struggle for power. As Dove fights to secure her place on the throne, she begins to suspect that her fate is far from set in stone. A strange, magical force begins to weave through her life, trapping her in a repeating cycle of near triumph and crushing defeat. With each attempt to take her rightful place as queen, she finds herself falling into an eternal loop, unable to break free from the tangled threads of fate. With Carlos's unwavering support and her sister's unpredictable presence, Dove must confront the mysteries of her bloodline, unravel the curse that binds her, and make an impossible choice-one that could either free her or trap her forever in a world where the future is always just out of reach. Will she ever become the queen she was destined to be, or will her journey end in an endless cycle of despair?

The soulmate gift by constellation201
39 parts Complete Mature
••• Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention, some of us humans are "gifted" as we like to say, in short, we have powers, well most of us do, anyway, powers that only show themselves when we turn 18. That's why an eighteenth birthday is such a big deal. Please note, that our powers come in all shapes and sizes. From elemental magic, to mind control, mind reading, time traveling, and even shapeshifting, and many, many, more. Even though some humans don't get powers, it's still better than getting what is known as The Soulmate Gift. What is it? You may be asking yourself. Well... It's when you can see what your soulmate sees and when you can talk to them mind to mind. Why is this such a bad thing? It only appears when one of the pair is in danger or is about to marry or spend their lives with someone other than their soulmate. So yeah, heartbreak is definitely present in the equation. And yes, you've guessed it, I, Amelie Diamandis, have the Soulmate Gift. And the fire gift. Which should be impossible. Isn't that just great? Oh, and my soulmate wants nothing to do with me....I think? ••• For as long as humans could remember you either got one gift or nothing, it's impossible to have two or more. A human with more than one power has been unheard of. Until today. When two people, destined since birth, break history with powers destined for destruction and a destiny that none can fathom. ____ THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT #167 in magic out of 270K 2021-12-05 #6 in high fantasy 2021-12-06 #21 in meant to be 2020-07-10 #43 in epic fantasy 2020-07-10 #31 in gift 2020-07-10 #31 in mate bond 2020-05-06 #58 in loneliness out of 12K 2021-12-02 ____ This story contains mature subject matter such as violence, reader's discretion is advised. ___ I couldn't find the artist that made the girl on the cover, if you know who it is please send me a message so I can credit them :)
The Great Ruse by sunshineandfreedom
33 parts Complete
"What if we switched?" It's a classic sort of tale. The fiery heroine, Lady Valdis Adalwin, would go to the ends of the earth to avenge her mother after her brutal death in the Fiddleweld Fire five years ago. She still remembers the face of the man who started it all, clear as day, and she will not rest until he is dead by her hand. If finding him means she must disguise as a man and go off to war against the evil magic-wielding realm that set the city aflame, then so be it. Except this story isn't about Val-this is about me, Emerson, the man whose identity Val stole. The ruse was supposed to be a simple one. Switch Roshadian Citizen Papers with my best friend, go to the Royal Ball in her place, and then disappear for a year while Val takes her hero complex to the Border with my army summons. Easy enough, right? Yeah, who were we kidding. So now on top of hiding my ability to use magic, an offense punishable by death, I'll also be thieving the identity of an upper - an offense also punishable by death. Layers of deceit collide in this tale of how I tried to save my life while also learning how to live. Spoiler alert: things don't go according to plan.
