Far away, in a land where the cattail trees are larger than skyscrapers and ponds are the size of oceans, lies a castle placed ever so gently on a massive lily pad.  This world is a regular paradise, and the rulers of this aquatic utopia are the Mallards. The regal family pride themselves on ruling the land, which they have dubbed Idyll, but a danger arrives when the neighboring land invades. What peril does this incursion hold? Will the dignified Mallards be dethroned? Or will they drown the landlubbers as they have all their opponents before?

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

The Alliance (TomTord Fanfic) (#Wattys2017) by Darkthehedgecat9

(Pretty old) (Red Leader VS. Blue Leader AU) One world, two armies. That's what Tom and Tord thought was their reality. Constantly in a war against eachother, despite being old friends. But that's all about to change, thanks to a recent rise of a third army that has the same goals as them. Taking over the world. The two will have to team up in order to beat the powerful force so knock it out of the war. One question remains: will they be able to work together long enough to achieve their goal?

Shadows of a Broken Past: A Shard of Faith (rewrite) by Quiet_shadow_248

In the sprawling supercontinent of Permea, twelve empires thrive, unaware of the danger lurking in the ground beneath their feet. As tensions rise, hostilities rearing their heads, the emperors being to search for answers. Friend, foe, lover, family. All of these relations must be tested, now more than ever. In the event of a catastrophe, will their alliances hold? Will they discover the traitors among them? Or will these kingdoms, their homes, be swallowed by the waters of anarchy before they can blink? ---- (I do not own any of the empires, emperors, or other ESMP related things. I have mostly rewritten the storyline, and included several of my own characters.)

Set in Stone - Haldir's Story - by SparklinJazzlin

"The Lord of Lorien looked at his wife - her thoughts were hidden behind her smooth, shimmering face. For once he could not guess what she was thinking. 'Galadriel - you have foreseen the brothers' death should they return to Mirkwood. But you know as well as I do that keeping them here might only extend their lifespan for perhaps a few hundreds of years, if at all. Dark times are coming, you can feel it. The chances are they will never see the Undying Lands in the West.' - The Lady of the Golden Wood looked right through him. 'One must never give up hope.'" When Haldir of Mirkwood and his brothers Rumil and Orophin are sent to deliver a message to Lothlórien, he expected to return within a mere couple of weeks' time. Yet the plans of the Lady are different and before he can turn around he is trapped in a forest completely different to the one he has grown up in. Adding to his confusion is the young elf Daera (pronounced: DaEra) who is clearly interested in Haldir yet she still has to fight her own demons. And her time to pick sides is running out... This story is set before and during the actions of The Hobbit and The War of the Rings. I might publish this story in GERMAN as well, so German readers, keep you eyes peeled!

A Hunter's Quest in the Siren's Swamp by Oofella

In a land overrun by dangerous supernatural species, only the wealthy can lock themselves safely inside their secure castles, leaving the rest of the citizens to fend for themselves. Hunting these creatures is the only way for you to survive, protecting yourself and the people you love. It is also a way for you to earn some coin because neighboring townsfolk pay you to kill the creatures decimating their land. When you return to your hometown after one particularly brutal fight with a swamp of sirens, you find your village in ruins. There is debris where shacks once stood, and you can smell the charred flesh of the people who once lived there, including your family. Devastated, your anguish overwhelms you as you fall to your knees. After a few moments, you manage to gather yourself and look toward the eastern sky, where the light catches the glimmering castles that protect the gentry class from the monster infestation. Why should they be safe from the creatures at the expense of other people's lives? You grab your trusty sword and take off to the east. Nothing has prepared these elites for what is coming for them. Soon you will be the creature they fear the most.

Perfect Without Scars .{major Construction} by Estyshawl

Back in this day and age, royalty no longer wedded royalty, simply because everyone now wanted to marry for love. Which is why a union like ours would have effortlessly drawn the crowd; peharps more enemies than friends. The marriage of a blooded royalty to a birthed royalty. Blue blood to blue blood. A union like ours, was bound to change lives to come, generations, eras even, and unwittingly... The life of my unborn child. BUT EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ONE RULE. "For a union to be made, royalty or no royalty, the bride and groom at least have to be present. Vows can't be made, if one of the pair gets missing. Or absent. So what happens when the bride gets kidnapped and killed? No. Don't despair. That's not the end of everything; its just the beginning, for even ghosts and corpses still have to hold on to their important earthly commitments they had, before they died. And as I take in my last couple of breaths, nothing else rips my heart apart more than the fact that my own wedding, that is supposed to have me as its bride, goes on without me. An imposter in my spot? Convenient. I hope she's also prepared to fuck my husband on our wedding night too? Don't they know that Chris knows every inch of the body of the woman he fell in love with? He'd know.. He has to... They'll all have to know... I can't exit this way. ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ___________________ ∞~•♦|| " I no longer know if I'm dead or alive. A corpse or a ghost. I exist in two realms at the same time, I live in two worlds and two different time frames all at once, and I, Ajora, have fallen in love with two different men who know two very different and conflicting sides of me. This my story." ||♦•~∞ ___________________ ¶> ROMANCE ¶> FANTASY ¶> THRILLER EstherDibie (Estyshawl♥)...
