Normal. That's how anyone in the town of Donour would describe Lyra-Grae if asked, she was a sweet girl with wide innocent eyes and intentions as pure as snow - on the outside. Inside Lyra faces a decision which could potentially ruin her life, end it completely or give her a chance in finding everything she desires, with a man who waltzed into her life with a fake name, bounty on his head and hands that created magic between the sheets. It's always a choice between the head or the heart, so with Lyra's heart already beating erratically for the nameless stranger and her head longing for the spike of adrenaline there seems only one natural thing to do. Jump head first into unknown territory with her heart unshielded and her life on the line.

Enchantment of the Bow
Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group.

Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-Complete

The Starlight Pact
In this world, humans live unaware of the existence of magic, but some possess latent abilities-like the ability to manipulate elements. These people are born into powerful families that control magic, and each family is bound by an ancient pact made long ago, a pact that prohibits their magical powers from being used outside of their realms. However, there is one loophole: the rarest of "starlight-born" individuals can create a link between realms, and these people are born once every century. Our protagonist, Lyra, is a young woman who has grown up in a family with no magical bloodline. She's spent most of her life feeling like an outsider, knowing her family is poor and ordinary, while others live in splendor thanks to their magical heritage. One night, after a strange celestial event, she begins to develop strange abilities-powers that seem to transcend the natural world. Meanwhile, Dorian, the mysterious heir to the Fire Realm, comes into her life. He's seen the prophecy of the Starlight Pact-the rare individual who can bridge the gap between the realms-and believes Lyra is the one destined to reunite the fractured magic. But there's a catch: the pact is tied to love, and the connection between them is not just magical-it's romantic. As their bond grows, they uncover a dark conspiracy within the magical families. Some believe the pact should never be fulfilled, fearing it will destroy the delicate balance between realms. Now, Lyra and Dorian must navigate their budding romance, with trust, betrayal, and danger closing in from every side. The fate of their worlds rests on whether their love can transcend the boundaries between magic and reality.

UDM: Free Falling II - Seconds Away (Harry Potter Fanfic)
Something as simple as wishing for a second chance to confess to one's first crush should result in ending up in the world of Harry Potter, but that is indeed what happened to Eugene. Unfortunately, this also means the girl who bullied his crush has a second chance at that as well. Lyra, on the other hand, is starting a new life with her family while dealing with unfounded allegations regarding her new family having unsavory ulterior motives. Disclaimer - I don't own Harry Potter. This is one of my ONC projects for 2024 which is also a sequel to a project from 2021 that may need a bit of editing, yet this should also stand on it's own - aka be able to be read on it's own. The prompt I am using is prompt fifty-nine "Reincarnating into your favourite story wasn't what you had in mind when begging for a second chance.". I am also utilizing prompt sixty-five, "she realized that whenever she let her body fall slowly to the bed, the bed sank and became a portal to another world as a side prompt.Complete
Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.

feelings in the dark
In the kingdom of Volturn, where alliances are forged through bloodlines and ambition, Prince Cid Volturn-the Cold Prince-has always stood apart. Born of the third queen and hardened by loss, Cid rejects the court's demands for a political marriage, refusing to chain his fate to hollow vows. To him, love is a weakness, and duty is a cage. But fate often defies even the coldest heart. During an unremarkable ride through the lower city, Cid's gaze falls upon a slave girl on the auction block. Lyra-pale as moonlight, with silver hair matted by dust and eyes like fractured starlight. Fierce, defiant, and drowning in sorrow. Without a second thought, Cid outbids the crowd, paying an outrageous price for a girl whose worth only he seems to recognize. Back at the palace, Lyra expects cruelty or indifference, but instead finds freedom in the most unlikely place: the heart of a prince who claims he seeks no love, only loyalty. When the king demands Cid marry for political gain, Cid makes an even bolder move-offering Lyra not servitude, but marriage. "You are the only soul in this court untouched by ambition," Cid tells her. "If I must marry, let it be to someone who understands the cost of chains." Bound by defiance and trust, they challenge the court's expectations and the shadows that seek to tear them apart. Yet, as Lyra's past resurfaces and Cid's enemies close in, they must decide if love, fragile and unspoken, is enough to withstand a kingdom built on ice and betrayal. For in the coldest heart, even the smallest flame can spark a revolution.
