A nursery rhyme with a twisted fate, as ... Jack and Jill went up that hill - finding themselves in deep jeopardy! Their fate was no longer in their hands, as the beast in another realm took over.
This is a story of the Nursery Rhyme where two innocent children fell into a trap at such a young age. Why? It's out of this world!  But within a darker format, the plot changes. 
~~~
When the brother and sister duo taunted their baby brother repeatedly about "the monster" hiding inside the closet, they didn't expect how their choice of words would haunt them. And once they were dared to enter the mysterious door; that was when they learned that there wasn't any way they could turn back!
  
Thus, Jack & Jill found themselves catering to the orders of an ogre in order to find their way back home ... that is if they ever fetch that pail of water. 
  
But after dropping the water on the ground as they lost their balance, numerous obstacles ( the test of time) came before them! Now, will they ever make it back home? And in time before they age?

Unicorns. Ah, yes such beautiful creatures indeed. Mystical creatures that dwell unseen in the depths of forests, unheard from for centuries.

Yet he missed one tiny and naive unicorn that hid herself in the forests deep. Her name was [Y/n]. It was not long until she found out about her fellow unicorn's capturer. As she hid far away from the fae. She was in hiding. Suddenly one day that unicorn got hit by a black carriage led by ebony horses.

The Lesson Taught by Self-Punishment (Snarry) by RainisFalling13

Having a dormant creature gene ended up being the key to surviving Nagini's bite. The venom mutated his cells and his creature was awoken. The only trade-off; he had to mate soon if he wanted to survive. Now, while there might not be destined mates, the creature does choose another based on their strength and eligibility. When Harry came past the hospital to make sure Snape was okay, the creature flared up and chose him. Severus knows he can't be with Harry. But he will die otherwise. He says nothing and begins to deteriorate. Concerned, Harry demands to know what the problem is so Snape begrudgingly tells him. Harry is torn between accepting and not wanting to at all, but gives in, not wanting Snape to die after everything he'd done. Creature goal completed, Snape turns his back on everything and hides away. When news of Harry Potter's child hits the front page three years later, Severus' creature nearly dies, taking Snape with him. Only Harry can save him. But does he deserve it? (Obv Harry Potter and co belong to JK Rowling. I created the Elf though, and the child.)

The Unseen Road by Mewn-san

What if you discovered a world like no other, but knew no way back? And yet, the only way to stay- and survive- was by leaving your past self behind, body and mind? From a small town on the panhandle of Florida, Kylie and Celeste are two fraternal twins tired of being bullied; Beatrice is an embittered fourteen-year-old dissatisfied with her home life; and Mina is a young, yet astute girl determined to uncover a family mystery long forgotten... The four girls, whose paths would have never crossed, find themselves in the midst of a mysterious railroad tunnel. With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia. It isn't long, however, before they find themselves in the middle of a decades-long Civil War between the forces of Heaven- Arcadia- and Hell- Abaddonia... and realize that going home isn't going to be as simple as they believe. The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one. With no other choice, each finds herself wrapped up in the adventure of a lifetime as, together, they fight to stay true to themselves. For Kylie, Celeste, Beatrice, and Mina, it would indeed be a while before they could ever turn back. A/N: Thank you to everyone who checks out my story. I hope that you enjoy following these girls as they go through each of their own journeys. ~Cover design by me~

My Kingdom Come Book 1: The Saints We See (Complete) by ShadOLeerie

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.

And what if you're the child of two Divines, summoned in the middle of the night to forestall this war? But, can you trust them? Read on and join this adventurous, magical, perplexing, nerve-racking and petrifying emotional roller- coaster ride to uncover all the answers!
