She is the most powerful Jinni of all. He is a boy from the streets. Their love will shake the world... 

When Aladdin discovers Zahra's jinni lamp, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn't seen in hundreds of years -- a world where magic is forbidden and Zahra's very existence is illegal. She must disguise herself to stay alive, using ancient shape-shifting magic, until her new master has selected his three wishes. 

But when the King of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity—only to discover she is falling in love with Aladdin. When saving herself means betraying him, Zahra must decide once and for all: is winning her freedom worth losing her heart?

As time unravels and her enemies close in, Zahra finds herself suspended between danger and desire in this dazzling retelling of Aladdin.All Rights Reserved

Find a spark of magic. If she can do that much, she can prove the goddess hasn't forsaken them and change the fate of her people. ✨ Zan is a changeling and bastard prince of the Yansu, a reclusive dragon-elf clan.

The princess, the commoner and the sorcerer by Samfeathers

Long ago, in the ancient kingdom of Surasena, lived two. A young princess by the name of Ananya, and a commoner whom was called Imaran. There lived also an evil sorcerer by the name of Balveer, an advisor to the Sultan. This is their story, a classic retelling of the fairy tale Aladdin. Jinn is the more proper term for genie. It can also be spelled djinn which is the Romanized version. I chose to go with the more traditional version. Cover by my dear friend who did it for me. Their art skills are absolutely impeccable! A message to all my readers: This story has many characters that are ignorant, bigoted and downright cruel to our main character. I wanted to have everyone understand that these actions are extreme examples of homophobia, and that, generally, it is far more subtle. For those that are closeted and are afraid to come out, I am here for you and I am sorry you live in an environment where you can't safely be yourself. Know that my heart is with you. If you need someone to talk to, here is a number to consider: 1-866-488-7386. This is the number for The Trevor Project, a group dedicated to helping young LGBTQ+ people. If there are people in your life who support you and you can trust, seek help. For my straight cisgender folk, please be an ally to your LGBTQ+ friends and family. Their love and gender is as valid as anyone else. In their time of need, be there for them and support them. Please enjoy my story and have a wonderful life.

You went out to find them, the names you remembered were Aladdin and Judal but before you can even begin to search for them, you are suddenly on your own mini adventure! You are a Magi, you know that much, but you don't know what your reason to live is after the war is finished. As all Magi's before were sent to chose Kings or Queens and there was never supposed to be another magi! You were friends with both dark and light Rukh which made you very powerful but light Rukh are closer to you then dark. But what you didn't expect was the other kingdoms hearing about your mini adventures as you suffer through pain and sorrow, but you will find love and a reason, your reason to live. DISCLAIMER! I don't own anything but some parts of the story and of course, you own yourself! Hope you like this, I got inspired by other fanfics to make one of my own, using some ideas that I wanted to see in other fanfics, like the character being a Magi.

Fortune Favors the Cursed by the-reticent-seer

[AN AMBYS 2024 FANTASY FAVORITE!] Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. Her world discriminates against women and orphans, and it is only her damned luck that she happens to be both. She yearns for more but can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets. Ayaz Shahrayar balances two lives: one of defiance, where he aids his people suffering from the Sultan's rule, and one of obedience, where he plays the role of a naive prince and heir in public. But his thirst for vengeance drives him more reckless by the day, and he knows that he might do something that could threaten his inheritance and his life. When the Sultan of Zecaj, desperate for more wealth to start a war, declares a country-wide hunt for a powerful artifact lost in legends called the Jewel of Opulence, Badriya jumps at the chance for the promise of reward. When the Sultan threatens Ayaz of losing the very thing he is meant to have, he has no choice but to join the hunt. As Badriya and Ayaz cross paths on their quest, they must learn to work together to find the Jewel and uncover the truth of its power. Only that it proves to be more difficult when the threat of betrayal and the spark of attraction try to distract them from their opposing goals. | 90,000 - 100,000 words.
