The Tales From Bridgetown are a collection of stories held at the Faerie Archive in Sommerslip. They relate events involving the Patchwork Market at Bridgetown, directly or indirectly. As the Patchwork Market is the largest Market in all the Faerie Lands this means that just about anything could happen.

At first the tales appear to be quite separate, involving talking mice, apprentice knights, crazy princesses, mermaids, wolves and trolls. Before long the characters from one story end up in someone else's tale. Characters roam across all of Faerie, from the Hundred Kingdoms to the Soft Places. At some points they even travel through time (which is not as exciting in Faerie as it might be in the mortal realms).

One thing's for certain, if you take a group of random heroes, a few goblin traders, a couple of not so nice people and a whole heap of mischief it's certain to lead to A Bad Night In Bridgetown.

The Tales From Bridgetown were originally published in 2013 as a blog at bridgetowntales.blogspot.com where they remain to this day. Their appearance on Wattpad is entirely for your reading convenience.All Rights Reserved

King of the Woodlands by prvmadonna

edit 3/9/23 I wrote this when I was 12 so please disregard the age-old "I'm not like other girls" trope and anything else ok thanks 🤓🤓 "They say the Woodland King's voice makes the rivers flow fast, and his claws could shred men into ribbons of flesh and bone." Every one hundred years, the feared Woodland King captures an unfortunate human from the kingdom of Llewellenar to serve him until their death. When twelve-year-old Lilibeth's father suddenly disappears, she must embark on a relentless quest to save him from the clutches of a murderous beast. As she ventures deeper and deeper into the world of the Woodland King, she befriends an unusual ally and uncovers a hidden truth that no human in Llewellenar history has ever done before.

Eroica: The Lyonessian's Conquest by Mizu-chi

Myths and Legends. I wonder why people are drawn by these tall tales? Is it because of the fact that it is impossible that's why people enjoy them? Or is it because there is some truth to it after all. Meet Catherine and Christine Tigs. These two sisters will tell you a story you will never forget. This story is just a fiction so if someone or something is matched with the characters and events in the story, it's just a coincidence... maybe except for some details like the places mention e.g. Bahamas, paradise island, and some others. I hope you'll love this story and continue reading.. And don't forget to vote and comment. Thank you... Most Impressive Rank #19- wattpadfantasy #18- wattpadfantasy

The Storyteller - ONC 2022 by Magic_Lighthouse

Nine-year-old Amy Winter's holiday plans have gone from exciting to total disaster. How is she supposed to have any fun being packed up and sent to stay with a weird relative she can't even remember? And Aunt Penelope is as weird as they get. With her tangerine curls and old-fashioned clothes, she looks like she came straight out of the old storybooks she collects. What type of person owns a two-story house with a face living on it? With doors that open and close on their own, and a staircase that never ends. Amy is turned upside down and inside out as she's thrown into a world where one's imagination holds all the power. Where Magic becomes part of her everyday life. One that includes a talking cat with a top hat and a Pixie King who believes she is a Storyteller. Forming true friendships with the most unlikely of creatures helps Amy understand that not everyone has to be her friend. And the friends she does have, are worth fighting for. Book 1 of the Storyteller Chronicles. Entry for Open Novella Contest 2022. Based on prompt #15-Being a single child has pros and cons. Being stuck with a weird elderly aunt for the holiday certainly counts among the latter. Or does it...?

Hollow by MichaelKilgallon

70 000 words of jokes, adventure, romance, myths and legends. Jonjo is a local hero, a former amateur sportsman now in his seventies in the rural west of Ireland. It is whimsical and nostalgic. It has excellent descriptions and embraces different genres. It traces the relationship between the hero and his Irish American cousin. Their different values and experiences initially cause antagonism. Their adventures into the countryside take on a new meaning as they become involved in an age-old conflict. The relationship changes as do the two men. It can be read as a simple tale of adventure or at a deeper level a story of sacrifice and redemption. The story is full of good-natured humour. It is accessible while retaining a literary feel. It is escapist and has a feel-good quality.

With dark forces at play and a handsome faerie male making life harder for her, Brigette is in way over her head. A retelling and different interpretation of the folklore I learned as a child in Ireland.

Little Red ✔ by whoscountinganyway

THE DARK FAIRY TALE SERIES 1 This book is what happens when you merge dark humor, the greater good, sin and fairy tale characters into one hell of a story. *** Everything you know about fairytales is a lie. The stories aren't true. Little Red Riding-Hood didn't get devoured, the wolf didn't eat the old lady or trick them. They forgot to mention during bedtime tales that Little Red is a beast. That her cloak is a death omen or protection and you don't get to choose which one falls on you. Oh but the wolf? He would love to ravage her skin, his desire not suitable for your childhood fairytale. Little Red is about to go on a mission along with the big bad wolf and their elect team of killer magical dumbasses to kill the Wicked Queen. There's no silver lining in this fairy tale. Because things are about to get bloody. *** "Do they actually call you Little Red," Hand around her throat, the wolf sneers at her so close that she can feel warm breath on her neck. "Do they actually call you a Big Bad Wolf?" Came Little Red's reply. "Medium and Cocky Wolf is more realistic." A growl sounds out, "Watch your mouth." A twisted smile plays on her lips, "Whatever for Wolf?" "Well Red," Leaning down over her indeed little frame the wolf speaks against her skin. "If you keep antagonizing me I may have to take a bite."
