What is magic? Our argument: nothing but targeted deception. So I want you to look. Look as closely as possible. Because the tricks you are about to see may not seem connected. But we assure you they are. Is what follows one hundred different tricks? Or is it one, giant illusion?

Athena Stark was just a ordinary street magician with high hopes and dreams. Her parents never believed in her 'tricks' and she was always punished and yelled when she performed. So instead she practiced in secret, and little did they know Athena Stark was going to be one of the most well known magicians in the world...

The Chosen Nothing
A girl lives a life so ordinary it borders on invisible, the kind no one looks at twice. She was never meant to be seen, and for the longest time, she wasn't. Until something -- or someone -- found her. After years of enduring struggles, the last thing she expects is to become the target of a man who wants her dead for reasons she cannot begin to understand. Magic isn't supposed to exist, and yet the world gives way without warning, answering to a voice that pulls her into something else entirely. Going out and beyond lies a different world. One where magic is not wonder, but law -- bound by rules that force each individual into unchangeable reality. She arrives already entangled in it. Enroled in an elite academy where power defines worth, Emma is pushed into a system that leaves no space for hesitation and mistakes. Alliances form and every decision carries consequence. She doesn't belong here. That much is obvious. What is not obvious is why everything keeps circling back to her. Emma was and is never meant to be found, and whatever has begun will unravel everything she has tried to keep intact. Author's Note: Hi~ if you enjoy slow-paced stories with longer chapters -- think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)

Jack Wilder X Reader - Two of Hearts
You've been a homeless aspiring magician since you were 16, to avoid getting caught by an orphanage. 7 years later, you watch the death of Jack Wilder from the sidewalk, but you didn't believe he actually died, since you were the only person in the world(other than the Four Horsemen) to see the whole trick go down. One year later, you go to a bar to escape your abusive boyfriend, where a disguised Jack Wilder is sitting next to the only available seat. You sit next to him, and spark up a conversation. Then when your boyfriend shows up, you leave, leaving Jack a clue telling him you need help. Does he come and help you? What's to come in your future? *Takes place 3 months before NYSM2* Warnings: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NYSM2 **duh** Could potentially get slightly smutty, but I promise I won't get too descriptive References to abuse, cutting, and sex(nothing too graphic) ***sorry***Complete![Ace of Hearts [Loki Laufeyson] BOOK I](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/132899905-256-k121458.jpg)
Ace of Hearts [Loki Laufeyson] BOOK I
Magic is unpredictable. It's like trying to control water. No matter what you do to try and direct it's flow, the water will find a way to return to its original path. Magic is powerful. Like water, it can destroy. Water can eat through solid rock, shaped valleys, harbor millions of creatures, and provide beauty to the otherwise desolate planet called Earth. Magic can reduce buildings to rubble, supply evil with the means necessary to destroy empires, but it can also help and save lives. Magic, when used right, can help protect the people of the world from evil. There are many magic wielders in the world. Some are evil, others are neutral, and some use their gift to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Jaylynn Sydney is one of those who protects others. She aims to help those in need any way she can - whether it be by protecting them against demons or simply donating money, food, and shelter to people who need it. By day, she is a simple SHIELD engineer who simply repairs jets, ships, and the helicarrier. SHIELD knows nothing of her powers or the magical world, which is surprising seen as SHIELD seems to know everything about everyone. By night, she works as a masked vigilante who protects those who cannot protect themselves.Complete![VENUS 13 - JACK WILDER [2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/75028982-256-k404313.jpg)
VENUS 13 - JACK WILDER [2]
SEQUEL TO "DEATH EMPRESS" It's been a year since anyone's heard of the infamous Horsemen's whereabouts after their great stunt pulled off in New York City. After showering their final audience with feign dollar bills and holographically jumping off of a rooftop, the Horsemen remained a mystery to the world--until now. When their comeback performance is interrupted by an anonymous individual who reveals all of the Horsemen's secrets, they have no choice but to flee. Sliding down a tube in New York City, they land all the way in Macau, China, captured by a spoiled technology prodigy who forces them to steal a data-mining device for his own gain. For Kate Sherman, it's been almost a year since she's seen the Horsemen after leaving for her own unknown reasons. As she agrees to join the Horsemen in one more scheme, she has to work alongside people she thought she would never see again, including a boy who she had once promised to never leave behind.Complete
The Chain of Command
If you ever saw something that you were sure you imagined or heard a sound that no one else did - then you know what it's like to attend a show starring the Novaks. "A magical act so spectacular, it had to be real." An oh so common statement after the Novaks perform. But what if I told you the magic was real? There were no wires, smoke or mirrors... Would you believe me? What if I told you the Novaks weren't a friendly family of magicians, but rather the descendants of the most notorious tribe of criminal sorcerers the underworld has ever seen? Take a trip with the Novaks to the parts of your planet you didn't know existed. Sit in the backseat as they ride through carnage, fight for their freedom, go face to face with their maker and most of all.... 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬.Complete
