When ten-year-old Kensington Brooks is thrown from a ship during a violent storm, she expects to die beneath the waves. Instead, she wakes on the shores of Neverland.
But this is not the story her mother once read to her.
The island is wild. Hungry. Ancient.
The forests breathe at night, the trees whisper warnings in the dark, and every creature seems to survive by tearing something else apart. Peter Pan rules from the shadows like a beautiful, feral ghost, and the Lost Boys are no longer boys anyone should want to find.
Alone and desperate to survive, Kensy is drawn into the hidden corners of the island by those who have learned to live beyond Peter's reach: Tinkerbell, sharp-tongued and dangerous; Thrash, a merciless mermaid with blood in her teeth; and Olea, a quiet native girl who knows the jungle better than anyone alive.
High in the trees, inside a tiny house of sticks and woven branches, Kensy begins to carve out a fragile home among a band of rebel girls who refuse to kneel to the island's cruel rules.
But Neverland does not allow children to grow safely. And something old is waking beneath the roots of the forest.
Kensy must put her trust in the most fearsome creature on the island. The Bird is even more terrifying than the monster lurking in the skies, and she has no choice.
Because in this Neverland, happy endings are the first thing to die.

The fated ones
Feng jiu's love for Dong hua has never been a secret. She persevered through every trial and suffering, in hopes of getting his love. As hard as Dong hua might try, he could never hide the affections, he held for qing qui's little princess. He says that he removed his name from the rock. He pushed her away saying, they are ill fated. But are they truly? Why does then, fate keeps throwing them together, again and again? Or did fate had something completely different in the works, all along? This is my imagination of the story between donghua and feng jiu.

Tears of Fate - Eternal Love of Dreams Fan Fiction
What happens after Dong Hua and Xiao Bai get out from the chasm. This is a variation of the story in the 2nd book "The Pillow Book" in the Three Lives, Three Worlds Series of Tangqi Gongzi. In this variation, there is no Bai Gun Gun yet at the start of the story. There will be many sweet moments here for our couple but it would not be without a little bit of angst. Don't worry, this will have a happy ending as I hate sad endings. Also, for the most part, I assumed that the reader is familiar with the story of Eternal Love of Dreams as I will not go into too much details on the background of the story and the characters. I sometimes will go back to a previously published chapter to make some changes to make the story better and edit grammatical errors. I'm sorry if this will cause any inconvenience to the readers. There may be some chapters with more mature contents. I will try to flag them at the beginning of the chapter. This is the first book I have written so please bear with me. Having written a few chapters, I've noticed that I'm not an outline writer which means I really don't know where this story will be taking me yet but rest assured, I will be finishing it as another thing I can't stand are unfinished stories. I thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to read this. For those who still cannot get over the love story of Donghua and Xiao Bai, this is for you.Complete
