humor teen tropes

Joan Evelyn Foster is dead tired of being average. Obsessed with books and fantasy worlds, she has spent way too many hours wishing a dark-haired antihero with a tragic backstory would sweep her off her feet and take her on magical quests to save the world. Isn't she a bit too old for this? 

When the cliche dusty old book sucks her into its every-day run-of-the-mill fantasy world, Joan discovers that maybe the system wasn't too off when it said "the grass is greener on the other side." Now she's stuck in a land where magic isn't too magical, dragons are an endangered species, and "the chosen one" might as well have never been chosen at all. She just hopes saving the world won't take three books and a spin off this time. And who is this "dark king" everyone has been talking about?All Rights Reserved

Magic Land: The Lost Princess (On Hold Until January) by Kadenereadaholic

Growing up, Imogene Baker knew that she was different from everyone else, but little did she know how different she really was. I grew up as an orphan, so I didn't know what it was like to have a real family. She was found on the streets as a baby, and since then, she'd been bounced around from foster home to foster home. She didn't know anything about her real family or who she was. Now, twenty-five years later, Imogene lives in a small apartment and works at a local coffee shop. She didn't really have any friends growing up. She has been an outsider all her life. Well, that was before she met Aaron Dawkins and knew what it was like to have a real friend. Aaron was kind to her and was always there for her when she needed him. He made her feel special, and she couldn't help but care deeply for him. He even promised her that he would help her find out her true identity. But then something weird happened that took her by surprise. She found out that she was no ordinary girl. She had unimaginable powers that she didn't know she possessed. Magical powers that she didn't even know existed. With these newly awakened powers, she was scared and confused more than ever. On her quest of discovering who she is, she met a guy who told her he knew about her parents. He seemed to know everything about her, and she was grateful to finally find out what was missing in her life. It didn't take long for Imogene to get close to this stranger. He pulled her in with his enchanting charm and looks and desperate for answers. She put her trust in him. However, deep down, doubts were lurking in Imogene's mind; doubts about her past and her supposed future. Even though this stranger gave her all the answers, could she really trust him? Was she really who he said she was? Finding out the truth will be the easy part, but will she figure it out soon enough to save her kingdom from the evil that wants to take it over? And will she be able to save her own heart in the process?

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.

Hades Legacy (Hades Series #3) by _caitlinemma

*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* Ellie is just like every other normal eighteen year old girl in the world, except for one big reason. She's the daughter of Hades. And an immortal goddess in charge of managing suicide in the world. And she's been locked in the darkness of the Underworld for her entire life. So basically, her life couldn't get any more abnormal if she tried. Ellie longs to experience life like everybody else her age, but for as long as she can remember her parents haven't let her travel up to the surface, and she's been forced to imagine the upper world through the stories her mother told and the books she read. Until, one day, her parents finally give in and let her go up to the surface to see the world through her own eyes, and her world explodes with colour. Then, just when she thinks her life couldn't get more exciting, she stumbles across a very particular green-eyed god; one who throws her perfectly organised world into complete chaos and shows her what it means to live in the light. But what Ellie doesn't know, is that the Fates have a prophecy for her. A prophecy that she couldn't escape if she tried. A prophecy that has tangled it's gnarled fingers into the threads of her life, and may just throw the world into the darkness Ellie has spent her whole life trying to escape. "He's the son of Aphrodite, she's the daughter of Hades. He's light, she's the oncoming darkness. He advocates for love, she's the embodiment of death. What could possibly go wrong?" (Third book in the "Hades" series)

The Immortal and The Undying by TLG_Tako

She has gained a reputation for being the "Undying Adventurer," despite the fact that she absolutely hates it. Each misstep leads her to accidental deaths-whether she's falling off cliffs, getting hit by runaway carts, or skewered by enchanted swords-only to revive an hour later, to her endless frustration. Meanwhile, he has become a jaded royal guard, wishing for the death that never comes. His immortality is both a blessing and a curse, driving him into battles, hoping for one fatal mistake that will never happen. He's grown cold, distant, and sarcastic, completely resigned to his fate as an elf who will never find peace in death. "The Immortal Sentinel." When she's hired as the newest royal guard-mostly because of her strange ability to come back to life-their reunion is anything but normal. The two are thrown together on a mission to protect the kingdom's young, reckless prince, who seems determined to get himself into danger by escaping the palace every now and then to visit brothels, bars, etc. Despite the serious nature of their jobs, their interactions are hilariously offbeat. While she keeps dying and coming back to life, he's constantly exasperated by her carefree attitude towards death. Slowly, their old bond rekindles, with her light-hearted nature gradually pulling him out of his morbid mindset.

The Artist's Perspective by Hollowemka

"Did you ever think about perspective? It's a funny thing. People are essentially looking at the same, but everyone sees something different. And I can't help but feel like I see something that isn't suppose to be there. Something...completely out of the picture." People can go through many horrible things and live. Emma Gonzalez knows that better than most, though she would hardly admit to the hell she went through. After spending years separated from her siblings by a tragedy that can't be undone, she is back with her family, starting a new life. New house, new school, new people. She got a chance to start over and she intends to use it for the best. But can she really do that with the shadows of her past always behind her? Noah Knight thought his life couldn't get worse. His love life went to hell and his personal seem to want to follow right behind. He needed a break. But a new school year is here, which means new homework and exams. Yay! Though after discovering the arrival of new kids, he believes things might take a turn. He is proven correct when a blond beauty with unique eyes walks in with her brothers and trouble starts to show it's face to the world. After getting tangled in her crazy world full of art, talking food, soccer and horror toilet, he believes he should have sat this one out. Too late now. Hi guys!

It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth
