SPOILER ALERT >>> The Royal Ranger: A New Beginning (Ranger's Apprentice: The Royal Ranger)

I am currently re-writing this story. I ask any new readers to please be patient towards any confusion that may occur or inconsistencies in the story during this process.

"The Royal Ranger: A New Beginning" sheds light on Will Treaty, 18 months after the death of his wife, Alyss. This fan story precedes that book, right after Alyss' death. In "The Mottled Widower," we join Will in mourning his wife, and his quest to avenge her.

I'll include a message at the end of each chapter written in Couriers' Code. Try to decode them! (Learn about Couriers' Code in "Ranger's Apprentice: The Siege of Macindaw", or read up on it here: http://rangersapprenticerh.wikia.com/wiki/Courier%27s_Code)

But never has he gotten even a single drop of it. Trying to cast aside his past, he reincarnated after he died in a cold-blooded war. Still wanting love, affection, and happiness, he now seeks to get it all. In a world filled with magic, monsters, and swords he wants a chance to meet his desires in his second life. Now born as Alexander Hollows, he will create a path full of life... But never has he thought that so many challenges will face him from now on. With the help of the ones he trusts the most, they will discover what actually hides beneath the peace and prosperity of the new world, they will find the shadow that lurks beneath them. As the people around him discover and accept the truth of their own world will they also accept Alex's mysterious past? I'm only a beginner at writing and english is not my first language so please be considerate of my spelling and grammar errors. I have many ideas flowing in my head so please be patient while the plot slowly builds itself. I will give you more info on this novel later. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover!

Ratchet and Clank AU: The Lombax Legend Book One by Arcti_Star_Fox

~Hailing from the faraway galaxy of Aegialeus, Praetorian Major General Astra Azimuth-Galaxia and her robotic companion Isabella traverse the Polaris Galaxy in search of clues to the truth behind Percival Tachyon's rise to power and her father's exile, on order of her colony's High Council. She takes the opportunity to scour her birth galaxy for hints toward a mysterious trait about herself: her ability to create dimensional rifts at will. Along the way, they are joined by Ratchet, Rivet, Clank, Kit, Talwyn and others who guide them around the galaxy, sometimes sharing more than just adventure.~ So, this is a wildly canon-divergent post-RA alternate universe. For the record, I am aware Ratchet and Talwyn are canonically dating (as far as I'm aware), but for the purposes of this AU they broke up some time before Rift Apart. The title is subject to change, however it's been like this since I began writing the tale back in 2019. It has gone through an ENORMOUS rewrite prior to posting. Chapters are going to be semi-oneshot format. They may be written at different times but will be part of the larger plot. "Quoted Italics" indicate Lombax language being spoken (or the name of a ship). Book One complete. Book Two is currently: Unwritten Best Rankings: #1 in LombaxOC I do not own Ratchet and Clank or related media; rights go to Insomniac Games. Cover Art belongs to me, featuring Astra herself.

TW: this book will deal with triggering topics. If you are easily triggered this is not the story for you, thanks. (Book one in the Starlight series) ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ─── Danika Archeron was born in the shadows. Always looking over her shoulder when her family wasn't looking. She was their protector even if they didn't know it. She had been training as an assassin and warrior since she was eight years old, and yet her family had never suspected a thing. What will Danika do when she's spirited away to Prythian with her little sister, surrounded by the creatures she'd been training to kill for as long as she could remember? ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ─── I cut him off my smile unfaltering, "Think before you speak, the last male who didn't lost more than just his tongue." I know both High Fae caught the wording of male, instead of man when their eyebrows rose a fraction of an inch. "Is that a threat?" Hissy asked. "No," I replied, "It's advice." ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ─── (Also!! just an FYI Danika is largely inspired by Manon Blackbeak, so that's why I used some of her fanart and such. I also might include some of Manon's abilities like her nails, cause I feel like that would be fun. ) ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ─── ACOTAR fanfic- OC x Rhysand This book will finish ACOTAR and the next book will be ACOMAF ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ─── DISCLAIMER: All characters go to Sarah J. Maas, aside from my OC's And lastly! I have a tiktok acc for this book and other stuff so if you want more stuff like this my user is: @urwritergurl_wp ─── Β· γ€‚οΎŸβ˜†: *.☽ .* :β˜†οΎŸ. ───
