Off the West coast of Africa, at the bottom of the Atlantic trench forest, where damselfly dragons chase after beetles, and bioluminescent plants are harvested for sale, Nuru Ndangi is busy collecting rich soil in a jar--excited to offer it as a gift to his best friend.
  
  Tomorrow he will make the trek from his village to the continental elevators that will lift him above the forest, to the city of Conakry. 
  
  Meanwhile, far above the Earth's surface, in a castle carved out of a mountain of marble, a small plant-girl named Maypop is being scolded for breaking some very expensive scientific equipment and accidentally tripping a scientist with her vines, which seem to be growing out of control.
  
  And lurking in between these two best friends, drifting idley in the sky-water and waiting rather impatiently for the right ship to come, are the privateers hired to destroy Nuru's family business.All Rights Reserved

The Sole Prince by cheddarandcheese

[ Only the ocean can bring a prince and a pirate together, only the sea can keep their secrets, and only the waves can tear them apart. ] [ COMPLETED - 80K Words] [ LGBT Historical Romance ] [ FEATURED ] James Serrio is supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner rotting away in the bottom of a pirate ship. His future was royalty, not death in a grimy hunk of wood, but it seems that fate had a different plan. Just when things couldn't seem to get worse, another ship attacks, and James is starting his prisoner journey all over again. But these new pirates are different, to say the least, especially Sage Morrow, the captain, with his black coat, gold buttons, sharp jawline, and steel-blue eyes. There's something about the captain that reminds James of a fire on a cold day. And, there's something about the new prisoner that reminds Sage of home. But there are more important things for James to focus on than a man, like the fact he's somewhere on the vast ocean, in a ship full of hungry pirates, with nothing more than a necklace and a quick brain to call his own. The Sole Prince is the story of James Serrio and Sage Morrow, and their consequential fate after running into each other smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

Everything Has a Price by NoraBoyle2

As Nora delved deeper into the game "The Ethereal Realm," her fingers danced across the keys and mouse, immersed in the virtual world that consumed her screen. The open world expanded, a vast and detailed landscape unfurling before her eyes. She navigated winding mountain paths, the cool air of the peaks enveloping her avatar. Forests, teeming with foliage and the echoing call of mythical creatures, stretched out before her as she wandered through their depths. Cities and villages dotted the landscape, teeming with residents-Dragons, Mernundas, and creatures beyond her imagination. One fateful night, after her children were fast asleep, she was suddenly interrupted by a message appearing on her screen. "Hero, I need your help." With that, the screen starts glitching, and before Nora can react, she is sucked into the game itself, finding herself in the very realm she was just playing in... (Self-insert because I can! Hehehe! Let me know if there are any mistakes I need to fix. Also, I'm pulling this story out of my butt, so please be patient with me.)

Wrong Place, Wrong Time ✔️ by BlueStarrySky1

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and demand chocolate. '"Sweet baby Satan!" I screamed, accidentally gaining the attention of the murderers. Act natural, Arya. "Did you just shoot them?!"

But they refused to cooperate. ' Arya McKenzie is a bright seventeen year old with a knack of getting into trouble. Her only friend is her younger brother. One day, Arya was walking home- completely soaked- when she decides to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Bad idea. She sees five scary boys kill three other slightly-less-scary men.

The Winged by _Tiny_Stories_

Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
