In Fillory, the air you breathe will either give you the power of gods, or choke the life out of you...
  
  An entry for the #BattleTheBeast contest promoting season two of THE MAGICIANS on the SyFy channel. This story's characters belong to the world of The Magicians. If you haven't read the books or watched the show, be aware that there are spoilers below.
  
  There have been 40 time loops created to destroy the Beast, a force of immense evil residing within Fillory. Season one of The Magicians deals with the 40th loop. This short piece was written with the following prompt in mind: create a story exploring one of the first 39 loops.
  
  Towards the end of season one, there is a scene taking place in Ember's abode in which Julia and Quentin are both present. Ember expresses surprise at seeing Julia. As it turns out, in most of the previous loops, Quentin had usually killed her by now. Our heroes shift uncomfortably at this revelation, which seems intended as a bit of dark humor. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this. I wrote another story for this contest working in an entirely different vein of thought, but still Ember's declaration stuck in my head. Why would Quentin, of all people, kill Julia?
  
  If you're a fan of the show, you know that when Dean Fogg tells Quentin and Julia they are reliving a timeline, it's also revealed that this 40th loop is the first in which Julia was not accepted to Brakebills. The hope was that the inner struggle resulting from her feelings of rejection would make her stronger. Stronger than what, I wondered. What occurred for Fogg to feel she needed greater strength?
  
  I took Dean Fogg's and Ember's words as hints of what may have happened in one of the other loops and ran with it. I hope you enjoy the resulting story!

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

24. P O W E R : Broken Heart by AxisRogue
13 parts Complete
Delvis Billiard is your typical laid-back computer-loving sci-fi geek. He loves his job, he loves Safe Haven, and he loves his fellow geek and fiancée Alice Jenkins. To put it simply, life is good. Until... it isn't. When the Devourer arrives in Safe Haven, tragedy strikes. Alice is brutally murdered after Billiard leaves her behind during what he assumed was an emergency drill, and the crushing guilt that results from his actions renders Billiard unable to carry on his duties as a Xirxine monitor. His focus is no longer on keeping Safe Haven Safe. Now, he is obsessed with only one thing: REVENGE. To obtain that revenge, there will be some hoops to jump through--and Billiard is more than willing to do whatever it takes to hunt down the Devourer and end her once and for all. However, in his pursuit of vengeance, he forges an unforeseen alliance that might just be the key to mending his broken heart. Meanwhile, Veronika struggles with the consequences of her actions. The voices and faces of those she's Purged haunt her relentlessly, making it increasingly difficult to sleep at night. Nevertheless, her zeal for the doctrine of the Saved spurs her on, even as new enemies (like the grieving fiancé of one of her victims) join the hunt for her head. The burden of her destruction is not one Veronika can bear alone, however. It might take some convincing, but sooner or later, Veronika will have to realize that she needs a shoulder to lean on--and one of the Crusaders seems all too eager to offer it. One's heart is broken, one is the breaker. It won't be long before they cross paths in an explosive showdown that's bound to make your heart race...

I didn't like the other one because I personally thought it was a bit rushed. Even so, I hope you enjoy. Now, time to wing a introduction of this story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a week and a couple of days since the hat wearing child saved the world from Mustache Girl. The Mafia were happy, some of them were still waiting for their boss to be gifted a new body, Express Owls and Moon Penguins were glad that no one died, besides them dying to help the child during their fight, Snatcher and his minions were at peace, but were still fighting with the fact that they were still up against Queen Vanessa who is still trying to take over Subcon Forest, the Nomads were glad to be safe from all of the trouble along with the goats from the mountains, and pretty much, everyone was glad to be safe. But that's when the real problems began. You see, Hat Kid had to leave with their best friend who's like a sibling to them, Bow Kid. The two kids had to leave to head back home. And when they did, everyone was heartbroken and a few people had returned back to their old ways. Snatcher being cold and distant, looking for number one(I.E, himself.), Mafia Boss was gifted a robotic body to inhabit for the meantime while dealing with pesky Mu, beating up his mafia men, and last, but not least, the two birds from Dead Bird Studio; Conductor and DJ Grooves. What is to happen if things fall apart? Like, Vanessa kidnapping Snatcher, integrating him on WHY he left her when he is HER prince which causes havoc on the other areas of the world. He was still, sorta of, weak from his battle with Hat Kid, trying to recover after the day they had fought each other and when the hatted child left for home with the bow wearing child, having finishing his Death Wishes, going on a cruise, and going to the Metro. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting time of writing: 4/5/2020 11:13 PM Finishing time of writing: 4/20/2020 12:19 AM
The Adventures of Nancy Drew (In Chronological Order) Season 1 by EmilineHoclair
25 parts Complete
Ok, this is pure fanfiction. If I tried to write an actual book with all these characters, I would get a copyright strike so bad that I would be blasted across the other side of the world and lose my writing ability forever. So, do not, in any way, think I'm trying to pass off some of Hollywood's most iconic movies and TV shows as my own. Because I'm not... XP. Anyway, I made this story up a LONG time ago, when I was about six or seven. I liked playing in the backyard and imagining I could go to other places. My second oldest sister at the time was obsessed with Nancy Drew. She read all the books, watched the movie with Emma Roberts like a thousand times, and played all the PC games. I guess that's where it began for me because pretty soon I was obsessed, too, and that's when the idea of my "Nancy Drew" game hit me. I liked Nancy's character, but I'd always wondered what she was like as a kid. So, I made up a game where Nancy was my age, had a bajillion sisters, and went on crazy adventures with some of my favorite characters from my favorite movies and TV shows. The "og's" include the girls from H2O, pretty much everyone from Lord of the Rings, and the people from 24. More recently, I've decided to add in Harry Potter, Supernatural, House of Anubis, and the characters from Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters books, so keep an eye out for them in season 2. Even though I no longer play in the backyard, I still think this massive story I came up with when I was a fetus is wacky, wild, and extremely creative. So, if you like feeling nostalgic, sit back and enjoy this whopping hunk of fanfiction. :)

"I like you George, but I can't" "Why not?" "Because I'm going to die" •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Astrid is not your typical Ravenclaw. She doesn't study, she isn't smart and she has gotten stuck out of the Common room way too many times. George Weasley fell for the girl the moment he saw her but what if that wasn't the first time he'd seen her? Or even fallen for her? Every story has a villain. Without a Villain there's no hero/ heroine. In this story our villain isn't a person but the concept of death itself. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ A/N I FOUND A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BOOK ON PINTEREST AND TUMBLR. Unfortunately I couldn't list them, I'll try my best to give credit to as many as I can. So if you recognize something as headcannon or a writing prompt, it's probably from Pinterest or tumblr.
