Camille Settlemeyer's life revolves around two great natural wonders: Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she's been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world's tallest summit, but this summer Camille's going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they're destined to be together. 

What she doesn't account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O'Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn't like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt's attention. But Camille's about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes.

Julie had always been enamored with Beauty and the Beast settings, despite the endless overwork as an office worker. But one fateful day, fate took a peculiar turn when her plane she rode accidentally crashed and transported herself into the mysterious Beast World. "Holy Shitnitz! Is this the Beast World from the popular novel or comic I've read?" == "Look... the other female was so tall but stunning while the other one is short but cute." "The small one seems weak; I'll go after the other strong one. She will bear more cubs than the weak one." Julie let out a sigh, her heart was clutched with both frustration and disappointed while looking to the other male beastmen with a pitying gaze. It seemed her height and skinneness was being judged. "Hah, what an idiot. As I recalled, that beautiful one was more naive and a little foolish despite her looks. There's no way I'll find trouble like her." "What's her name again, was it Bai Qingqing?" The leopard threw her a cold glance, and shouted. "You female! Don't go near us again, I don't want you to hurt Bai Qingqing!" It's like every time he saw her with Bai Qingqing, she always weeping in tears. 'Dude, she cried because you left me in the forest. It's not my fault she's crying over me like she lost her bestie. What a retarded jerk! She clicked her tongue, and rolled her eyes. "Oh well, there's nothing I could do to the foolish ones." "Fate is fate." Despite her amusement at the situation, she winced as she recalled the chaos and troubles that seemed to follow the 'beautiful and naive' female in the story. Being transported into Beast World, Julie was determined to carve her own path and avoid getting entangled in the dramatic affairs of the beastmen. But little did she know that fate had other plans for her, and her journey in the Beast World was just beginning. == Vote to update each chapter with 5 pages depends of votes quality It will be uploaded fast.

Saving Sandy by PurpleKorea134

Katie Hearst, a mountain climbing enthusiast, gets the shock of her life when she is sent back in time and meets the soon-to-be mountaineering legend Sandy Irvine as he goes to school at Merton College, Oxford, England. She knows his story - he perishes on Mt. Everest with other mountaineering legend George Mallory as they try to reach the summit on June 8th, 1924. She befriends him, as well as those closest to him, and lives life in the last bit of 1923 and early 1924. When she realizes that she can save his life, she decides to tell him not to go to Everest. He is determined to go, though, which makes her mission difficult. Also... she falls in love with him while trying to accomplish her mission and while she spends time with him and his friends. He falls in love with her, too, and this causes problems with his married girlfriend Marjory. How will Sandy react when he realizes that the real reason why Katie glued herself to his side was to convince him to give up on his dreams? Well, regardless, it could ultimately save his life. Based on the true story of the mountaineering legend Andrew Comyne Irvine, or Sandy, the young 21-year-old Englishman who had a dream of summiting the tallest mountain in the world, and who aimed to do so with other mountaineering legend George Mallory. Whether they reached the summit or not is a mystery to this day. Sadly, they died on the mountain. Sandy's body hasn't been found while George's was found back in 1999. This story takes place right before Sandy leaves for Everest, and he is your average 1920's Oxford student. Most the events are based off of real events that happened with Sandy, as told in his biography called "Fearless on Everest" written by his great-niece Julie Summers.
