****Hi! Just a quick author's note to say I'll be trying to update as many chapters a week as I can, so there's always new chapters to read! I will always let readers know if there is going to be a delay in posting the next chapter. I really hope you enjoy and encourage you to please vote and comment!****

Three years after Autumn was born, the war started. It started small, but then came the attacks, the bombs and the soldiers. Her world of magic and light, shown to her by her mother, is thrown into chaos when the enemy attacks the continent. Anyone brave (or stupid) enough to stand in their way was eliminated, and such was the case with Autumn's mother, Willow. 

Willow loved the world of magic and would do anything to stop the enemy from destroying it. They want it gone, to replace it with order and logic, where everything can be controlled with the push of a button or flick of a switch. Despite Willow's best efforts, the enemy wiped the world of magic, and of Willow.

Or so they thought.

 When traces of magic begin to emerge, the newly developed government begins to panic, and trace the disturbance to a teenage girl. Autumn. The creatures of old are beginning to reemerge, and all because of her. Completely unaware of this, and having lost faith in the magic a few years after the war, Autumn does her best to live like her mother wanted. 

With the whole city after her, and the same magic her mother had hidden in her blood, can Autumn begin to trust in magic again, and re-instate the old age, the one with magic and freedom? Or will the governors once again stamp out the magic in the world?

Once Upon a Fairytale by TatiaSamaelPetrova

Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.

The Rose Necklace by cjw226

A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~

Red Moon Princess by lunerloverrrrr

In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty. The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'. Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way. Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her? And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame? And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty. Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.

A Court Of Past And Present by jaquly

|| Highest ranking: #9 in protection ⚔️ #1 in A Court Of Thorns and Roses🌹 #7 in Sarah J Maas 🧝🏼‍♀️ || "What?" Rhys asked, frowning at Mor. She shrugged, "by the looks of it, your going to be a father soon." Darkness exploded through the room. Cutting out my vision, it seeped through the windows, blocking out any visible light. Calloused hands pressed down against my shoulders, holding me in place. Soothing talons scraped down my mental barriers, trying to pry them open. I could feel his presence through the dark, feel the warmth of his body as he stood in front of me. The darkness subsided to uncover the violet stare of Rhysand eyes gazing down at me. Talons scraped at my mental walls once more before he spoke down our bond, Is this true? I looked to my mate, "Yes." He receded a few steps, stumbling over his words, "how?" "Well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much-" "HOW?" He snapped, cutting me off. Sighing, I relaxed my wings, exhausted from today's events, and let them slide to the floor. "A witch put a spell on me," I muttered, unable to make eye contact, "one which I think changed the year I was living in." *** Feyre is the Hight Lady of the Night Court. Living out her life, she thought it was going to be a prefect happily ever after with her only struggles being breaking the news to her mate about her pregnancy. Little did she know the darkness looming within the background, waiting to strike. When a witch appears on her door step, the last thing she would of expected was to be cursed to another year, before she ever existed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a seperate novella spinoff of the acotar series.

COMING SOON! - Dawn and Demise (The Fated Series, #3) by _Hiraeth_Author_

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REWRITES - CHAPTERS WILL REPUBLISH AS EDITS ARE FINISHED!!! -Apologies to those who have read through Chapter 18 where I previously published. Edits will include character development changes, so unfortunately, and I apologize again, you may have to reread for clarification. Plot line is very similar, I just decided to take a character's development through another stage that changes their dialogue and POV a bit. ((FAIR WARNING: I do not update regularly because life gets too crazy sometimes, but I do my best.)) Come dawn the war begins. By dusk, demise reigns. Fourteen kingdoms united by the two prophesied elementals against one man and the beasts of the underworld. As the war begins in the central continent on the southern border of Vandaria, guarded by the armies of the Fae and Andrastrian allies, Darius and Fauna search for someone who could turn the tides of war. Decisions will be hard, sacrifices will be made, and the prophecy will come true and the asking price paid. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Unedited NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then. Thanks for reading!

Cursed (Hogwarts Legacy fanfiction - original in German) by SeraphinaBloggs

Seraphina Bloggs (nickname Phina) grew up in an orphanage before in 1890, at the age of 15, a professor named Eleazar Fig took her with him and she started school as the "new fifth-year" in Hogwarts. Her special ability to see traces of ancient magic and even partially use that magic proved to be both a blessing and a curse over time. Now, in her sixth year, together with her best friends and Slytherin classmates Sebastian and Ominis, she is still processing the events of the battle for the last repository. But she already has to face the next threats that await her and her friends both within and outside school. And if that weren't enough, Phina's heart is also playing up repeatedly. Notes: The story takes place after the events of Hogwarts Legacy in the sixth and seventh school year (1891/92 and 1892/93). Please consider that English is not my first language. I use translating apps and services and try to proofread everything. Please feel free to tell me if you still find mistakes!
