This is a short story written for school (I only had 1000 words). The plot is a bit underdeveloped because of the limit. It's about an Irish girl and her family during the American Revolution (specifically the Stamp Act). Enjoy!

The only one who truly loved her through everything was her younger brother, Baelfire. Though that changed when she was forced to go through a portal leading to an island of which she never aged on, but it was where her ability to love also grew. Time passed quickly for Jade the longer that she spent on the Island, that she almost forgot what it was like to live within the Enchanted Forest. However, as the fates would have it, her happiness was something that wouldn't last, no matter how much she tried. And for years after being ripped away, she tried to find ways back, through friendship, fear, and the one thing of which Jade regrets the most; betraying the people who saw her as a normal human being and not a monster. She ruined herself in name of trying to reach her lover once more. Jade Stiltskin, Camilla Hopper, Shadow, call her whatever you want, she's still the same person underneath - a lonely, mistreated, hurt, and abused child who only felt the love off of her brother while they grew up, who longed for her mother once more and a chance of freedom. If someone betrayed you, would you let them explain or would you jump to conclusions without hearing their side of the story? Let's be honest, Peter Pan will always be the one who Camilla will always trust - after all he's the one who showed her what love truly was. 22nd December 2017-1st April 2023 ▻Set during season 1 - 3 BOOK ONE OF THREEComplete
The Time-Traveller's Choice
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Complete

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
