Glass or Diamond: Fairy's Wish by SilasKriegsende

A vast desert on a sprawling world is the home to tech pirates ruling the sands, small frontier villages and towns trying to squeak by, and colossal monsters that prey on all things that come under their gaze. Lykha, a young fairy, has found herself stranded in this world when the former-most fell victim to the latter; her captors seeking to use her one and only magic wish were eaten by a titan of the desert sand. Her only hope would seem to be the legendary and honorable knight known as Murtoa of Lakia, who by all accounts, is one of the few, if only, individuals who specialize in defeating the colossal monsters. Stranded and awaiting a likely-mythical hero, Lykha will happily accept any form of assistance from anyone, even if it means risking her wish once more...

Tales of the Five Nations 1-Scarblade by RMBlackscythe0

A fourteen-year-old girl who is the last person with Fire Powers in her Nation, and a fourteen-year-old boy who is the one of the most powerful people in the same world stuck in the Human Realm have to save an entire Nation-in a separate world where Powers are everything. In a world where Fire comes blasting out of your hand at will, a world where you can snap and someone is across the room from you, a world where people can create tornadoes from their bare hands. The two teenagers have to get through a portal to find the Fire Nation-which has lost its entire people with Fire Powers except for one girl-the ability to create Fire from their hands-and try to save them without dying...and that actually turns out to be really hard. Together, they are the most powerful people ever. If you're looking for a story with sword-fights, magic, legendary creatures, and a lot of comedy-you've opened the right book. Especially if you've been searching for a song about lunch.

A Pack of Misfits: Our lives by LokiCrimsonHeart

"Looking back on the events of the past year, I can only really say two official things. Some days I hate it, some days I do not and I would never trade this for the world. No, not even Fenrir, no matter how much that surprises me. A new day's dawning, just over the horizon. Just keep looking and I know that you will find one. Goodnight. ~ Loki Draken." Snippets from the Pack's life, from the New year following Fenrir joining them to the very end...or not. New people turn up, old people as well, randomness happens and they have fun all-round. Just a few technically unrelated one-shots from the Pack's life. NOTE: Everything (Read; all the stories) are now undergoing some serious editing, so when you see that update, don't ignore it, it could be important information that you will be lost without. Like for example; every hint towards Loki's past. Sequel to 'A Pack of Misfits.' Book two in the A Pack of Misfits 'series. Sequel to this one up on my profile (APoM: A Tale of Two Times, or the other one, APoM: Something else Entirely, both are fine to read, but AToTT ties in more directly with this book)

The Hearts that Bleed Black by enjoyerofscary

When a man who lives in poverty tries to rob a young king of his wealth, he is caught. Unexpectedly, the lonely king takes him in as his bodyguard and companion. The king fights to win the friendship of the man, but may end up winning more than that... if his newfound friend doesn't murder him first of course. And while they're distracted, a new and incredibly dangerous king is rising to power. If not stopped, he may take over all six kingdoms and leave them all for dead, even if it means destroying the careful balance in which their world exists. While they deal with their own problems, far bigger ones are stirring, and it may just be too late to stop it... Two star-crossed lovers, six kingdoms, and man threatening to tear everything apart. The line between what is moral and what is cruel is blurring.

The Hour of the Crow by IromaVP

Primsharah will become the center of a deadly play, with the powers of the gods themselves at stake ... *** Refusing to watch his family crumble beneath the weight of poverty, Arran has resorted to stealing from the rich to provide for his mother and sister. His ability to bend light prevents him from being caught ... until one day, he is. His captors have no intention of turning him in, though, instead making him an offer that he cannot resist, but which will change the course of his future forever. Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace. This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival. Magic, desert and creatures of myth weave a tale of fragile hope, large-scale betrayal and fierce friendship between two people whose fates should never have crossed paths at all.

A Heroes Journey (Old/Unedited) :) by Linkinajar

A boy named Aiden King is living his normal teen life when his dad suddenly takes him, his cousin, and his uncle for a hunting trip in the forest. The trip takes a few wrong turns, and the four of them decide to head back. After a month passes, however, Aiden's dad decides that they should go back to the forest for a do-over. As Aiden expected though, the trip goes wrong once again. Only thing is, he didn't know that it was going to be worse then any of them could've imagined. When all the drama from the trip dies down a little, a certain someone is forced to stay with them. After a couple of days, however, this "someone" shows no sign of leaving. Then Aiden makes some friends who wouldn't exactly be considered normal in the eye of humans, and -with some of his friends from his high school- goes on a journey that nobody knew would be possible. Though this was no ordinary journey. This... was a Hero's journey. *** Heya! It's your pal Coffee here! This is the old and unedited version of A Hero's Journey. It will remain published and unedited for people who still want to check it out! (Possibly cringe warning though pfft!)

The Whispers of Petals by KaraCarreira

Since Esmera was abandoned on a stranger's doorstep as a baby, the only person who has looked out for her is herself. Until a lark starts visiting her, leaving behind exotic flowers and iridescent pebbles that the internet doesn't recognise. Esmera can't believe her eyes when she recognises the lark in a painting in a museum. Her investigation takes her to the home of the museum owner, Tauram - a man who is more than he seems. When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call. Soon, it is not their decades-long betrothal that binds them but feelings they must ignore for the sakes of their fractured pasts and precarious futures. Around them, nature rebels under the unjust rule of a cruel sorcerer, threatening to engulf Milatanur. The formidable King Ruagu has spies everywhere, and those who aren't on his side turn to it out of fear. Loyalty will rot into betrayal, blood will be paid, and Esmera will be presented with her destiny to wield a weapon of unparalleled power. But only if she can elude her dark past long enough. *** Cover by @-DeeIsDead-

Brassworks by OfficerManKorn

There is a saying in the Badlands: There are many ways to get to the Brassworks, but all leave in a box. The Old World is gone, smashed beneath the heel of the great mountain, King Abaddon, many generations ago. A new civilization has risen from the ashes, struggling to survive in the new and harsh landscape. At the edge of a poor governance, in a dying town, a young blacksmith just ran afoul of the law. In some cities, that would mean a trip to local jail or court. In the Badlands, that means the Brassworks. Theo Palmer can't recall why he ended up in the hellish prison, but he knows he'll never leave. The Warden needs workers for the Forge deep underground. The drums of war are beating to the north, and only a twisted weapon from the past can save the people of the County. But there are many powers in the Vale of the King. Some seek to preserve the peace, while others aim to end it. Some hunger for justice, while others hunger for flesh. Theo has fallen into a violent world of monsters and metal, and his very survival depends on which side he chooses.

Unproven by B_L_A_Z_E

SHADOW IS AZH'NAHN, A POWERLESS MAGE born into a culture that prides itself in sharing the earth's powers. When he chooses a life of voluntary exile to preserve his family's honor, Shadow receives a mysterious call to witness the unearthing of kotrakoy, treacherous telepathic beasts with four wings and four rows of teeth. As he watches their unholy resurrection with great horror, kotrakoy open their minds to his and offer a glimpse into what life would be like wielding a mage's powers. As Shadow races to warn his people of the impending threat, he discovers a mysterious Trayki woman hanging from the trees and on the verge of death. Uncertain what to do, Shadow initially hesitates to rescue this woman whose people embrace technology and eschew his culture. As Shadow tends to her glider crash wounds, the earth unites them in a soul bond, a sacred union that gives Shadow an unerring duty to protect and preserve her life. And that duty will be fraught with peril: Trayki troops begin bombing Hiwalani villages and while losses mount, magic evolves and Shadow's people lose their power. The Hiwalani must rely on inexperienced youth to master the new magic and stop enemy attacks. Desperate to save their people, few make any progress at all. Only the outcast azh'nahn seems to understand it - and very few trust his judgment. When Shadow believes he's unlocked the solution, it involves empowering the most deadly kotrakoy and risking the complete annihilation of his people. While his solution sounds reasonable in theory, there is no time to test it - it's UNPROVEN.

Tale of The Broken Sword by noobzord96

A story told in two perspectives. Set in an alternate industrial world where radio technology is rendered nearly obsolete due to a magnificent yet mysterious and devastating phenomenon that has crippled its use. Nations has prospered with the further development of flight and the inception of the skyship, a series of heavily-armed floating warships that has the ability to cross continents and wrest control of the skies. This story arc is told in the perspective of a young Aurelian soldier, Everent Clauvis Griswall, who struggles to come in terms with his brother's 'death'. Severely delusional and suffering from a complex, he inadvertently sets out to find the truth behind the War that had killed his brother and engulfed the whole continent of Steiffer with chaos and death. The second story arc is set in the future Earth where an unexpected turn of mysterious events has triggered a massive War that has destroyed many countries, rendering the surviving nations struggling for what's left of the resources on the ravaged world. Unable to travel across devastated wastelands stretching hundreds of miles apart, nations have developed and built gravitational elevators as a main mode of transport among each other. The second story arc is told in the perspective of Jeremiah Kelson, a young and aspiring scientist/operative who had an unexpected military background and skill. Having no memories of his past, Kelson finally sets out to find the roots of his forgotten memories without knowing that it would place him in dangerous situations in search of his past life. After crossing paths with many different peoples of the other world, Kelson would eventually begin to question himself of his origins and has decided to find it out. Little does he know that fate will bring him in a chance encounter with another young soldier that might have some connections with him, leading to the revelations of a bigger and more shocking truth of the relations between the both worlds...
