After a year marking the end of the Rat King's reign, Christmas is coming around once again. The time Mary has been patiently waiting for since she was sent back home. Things aren't the same without N.C. and their friends, and she's determined to see them again this year, even if it's just a dream. But that's not the only person she's excited for...

Rebecca, a cousin from her father's side, is coming to see them for the first time. Excitement would be an understatement for how Mary was feeling. Friends and new family for Christmas seemed too good to be true. And perhaps it was.

Rumors have been spreading around N.C.'s city; the missing Rat King will be returning to take over the kingdom once and for all, and this time they might not be able to stop it.

ATTENTION!

ALL CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME!!! An oc will also be present but don't let it discourage you from reading :] I'm also gonna be honest this book has been ongoing since 2019 after I restarted the book, but after logging back in after 4 years it's almost completed! I'm also lazy to make major changes to past chapters I made when I was in like 8th grade, so sorry if there's any cringe parts in the earlier chapters that I missed when making some updates(and the bad writing). 

AND!!
Please watch the movie before reading my book! Everything will make a lot more sense! I'm not sure where you can watch the movie(I myself have the disc), you'll have to do some research. The movie is called: "The Nutcracker: The Untold Story" or "The Nutcracker in 3D"

The kingdom Dulcia has fallen. Dark creatures have invaded the palace, inslaving all those who work there. The royal family--the only ones able to stop the creatures--have vanished into oblivion. No one has seen or heard from them since the fall. There are rumors. Rumors that they escaped the castle, rumors that they are assembling an army to fight the creatures known as Muraes. Only one thing is for certain. No one knows where they went, nor do they know if they will come back. ________________________________________ Every year, Clair's family goes to the king of Arium's palace for of the most lavish Christmas party imaginable. They meet family, old friends, new acquaininces--anyone they possibly can. Clair never enjoys the huge parties. She prefers to be by herself, drawing or dancing. Until, one year, everything changes. Presented with the most beautiful gift she could possibly imagine, Clair is filled with joy. She clings to her wooden doll with her life, never letting go. When she wakes up one night and it is gone, she panics, searching for it. Only to find a hideous creature. When she is rescued by the same doll she loved, Clair is suddenly swept up into a world of magic, lost kingdoms, and lost royalty. But she is also in the world ruled by darkness. ________________________________________ "When snow falls, the kingdom dies. Light will leave, Dark will rise. It can only be stopped by treasure as pure as gold, as light as air, but strong and bold. Only then will the leader rise, out from ashes and hidden from prying eyes." ***** 2018 Wattys Shortlist 2018 Wattys Longlist Featured story Awesome cover by @elphadora ***** Loosely based on The Nutcracker (both book and ballet)

~Sequel to Shrek 2: Happily 'N'Ever After [Book 2]~ Uncle Connor: Now remember: No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering, or frittering allowed. Me: What if I fall gracefully? Zero: That's literally the same thing as slipping and tripping, minus the graceful part. Me: Really? Aunt Ella: Yes. Me: So...I can get away with falling gracefully, then? Alice: No...not unless you're doing it on purpose to catch someone's attention~ As you can tell, that's how my lessons on learning to be a proper Princess usually start. Strict lessons on manners, learning the history of the past royals, which cutlery you have to use with certain meals, etc. etc. Blah, blah, blah. And the worst lesson of them all: Ballroom dancing! On top of that, I'm constantly reminded that I need to find my 'true love' and receive true love's kiss by sunset on my 17th birthday, otherwise I turn into a frozen statue just like my parents, grandmother, and kingdom, and stay like that forever. When Shrek asked me to go with him to visit Worcestershire Academy and find Arthur Pendragon, the one uncle Harold mentioned before he took his final breath, you could imagine the relief I felt to finally have the opportunity to escape my lessons without someone dragging me back every time I tried to ditch them. Question is: Will I be able to break the spell before the deadline? What if Arthur is 'the one'? Will I finally get the happy ending everybody keeps teasing me about? Completed: 25/03/2021 ✔️ Shrek: Once Upon A True Love's Kiss [Book 1] ✔️ Shrek 2: Happily 'N' Ever After [Book 2] ✔️ Shrek The Third: The Would Be King & I [Book 3] ✔️ **Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, with the exception of Willow, Alice, and Zero, and this fanfic.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.

Disclaimer: i wrote this back in high school when i was highly mentally unstable, pulling all nighters, and over exerting myself in all sorts of ways. For you theater kids out there, I wrote a good portion of this during tech week. At no point in this story did i know what was going to happen next. There are plot holes, weird turns in the story, its a little cringy sometimes, and partway into it someone started pressuring me to follow a certain character. There are some funny moments, a little bit of smut, lovable characters. Looking back there are some moments that i really love, but if you are looking for a story that makes a lot of sense and has a strong story you are in the wrong place. This is an unstable teen writing on a whim. You've been warned. With that said go forth and be entertained~ You look down at your hands and quietly whisper to yourself, "Am I some kind of monster?" You hear beeps like someone is putting in a pin on the other side of the door before the door slowly swings open. The man named Tony stark walks into the room. "Hey kiddo, remember me?" You slightly nod your head and he comfortably sits on the couch like nothing is out of the ordinary. He sighs. "Guess not" "No, I remember. You and Mr. Rogers were at my house" "Not what I meant" You cock your head at him. What does he mean? You've never met him before that. Feel free to jump to chapter 4 if you're bored of the first one, I'm not particularly proud of the first few The character of Rosa belongs to: @mudkip2016 ‼️I do not own the avengers, only my oc's and the plot‼️ Discord server is up and running! https://discord.gg/Ncz9gdqr One shots collection: https://www.wattpad.com/story/304166080?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_writing&wp_page=create_story_details&wp_uname=Dragonwithagirl&wp_originator=JYnjJQJJ3iw4RC2caABJMBGHPldh2QEveSfO0U9dpoiBv8VAmo2W7L32WVXyAj4jKO0mowXMwsXY0qU6d6gavchyrz36gzC54yrqesKzGlH11bvz0igscxbSTm%2FImfpU

I saw that they have these with the ponies so I did it with the humans. Anyways. So Pinkie Pie has begun her annual "Barbie movie marathon" campaign, and since Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle aren't familiar with this, they convince the rest of the group to just try it and see how it goes. However, when Pinkie slides in the DVD for the first film, "Barbie in the Nutcracker," and the movie starts playing, their geodes link with the movie by magic, and they get slurped into the silver screen. In the world of Clara and the Nutcracker, the Equestria Girls have to go with Clara to find the Sugar Plum Princess to help get them back home. However, the characters in the movie are not only astounded that the girls possess magical qualities, but even start to suspect that one of them could secretly be the Sugar Plum Princess (much to Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack's dismay). And not only are suspicions rising, they have to fend off the Mouse King and his army, who feel that the Equestria Girls are a bigger threat than Clara and the gang. Can the group find the true Sugar Plum Princess and get everyone back to where they belong, Clara back at her estate and the Equestria Girls out of the movie? You'll have to read to find out. Disclaimer: The Equestria Girls belong to Hasbro. "Barbie in the Nutcracker" belongs to Mattel. Some of the dialogue came straight from the movie, so yeah. I don't own any of this.

We all have those weird dreams where we fight dragons, dream of a 'happily ever after'...or in my cousin Alice's case; make friends with a unicorn that literally poops edible rainbow candy. Alice and I, along with our friend Zero, help my aunt and uncle clear out their basement during spring break while they went away for their wedding anniversary. It all started when I ever so gracefully (but accidentally) tripped over a cupboard box (which in my defence, I never knew was there) with the words: 'Fragile - DO NOT TOUCH', written in black marker all over the box. While Alice and I were arguing, Zero tried to grab our attention. When he finally did, we were surprised to see him being sucked into a freakin' green swirling portal! Turns out, inside the box I tripped over had a crystal ball rolled out of it, and glowed a bright green. That was when we realised that that crystal ball, was the reason why a portal appeared and was trying to pull us in. And of course...I got separated from them, didn't I? Would you believe me if I told you we entered the world of our favourite movie when we were kids? You know...the Dreamworks movie, Shrek? The one with the fairy tale and Disney characters in? Yep, that's the one! Oh, sorry! I almost forgot to introduce myself: My name's Willow, and this is the story of our journey in the world of Shrek - creating bonds with Shrek himself, Fiona, Donkey and the gang...heck, even Dragon, too! What could possibly go wrong?

'I wouldn't mind being with you, you topless Jaffa Cake..' You {Y/N} are currently attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and you are in your fourth year. As a Slytherin, with the idea that members of this particular house are stuck up and picky, you are expected to only date and befriend those within your house - you could never be seen associating with the likes of Gryffindors - however, one particular boy has caught your interest. And it doesn't seem great; his family is well known for being blood traitors. Will you let the wall you have up keep him away? Will the anxiety that lives within you slowly fade with his help, or will it rear its head as the wall you carefully built gets knocked down? You truly believe there is no one at Hogwarts who deeply understands you. But, you are rather mistaken indeed. ------ Warnings (Please read, your wellbeing is important!) -Mentions of anxiety, detailed panic attacks -Mentions of rape/mistreatment -Mildly detailed torture scene -Mildly offensive language Warnings/discretions for a specific chapter will be stated at the beginning of the chapter, to ensure that you're aware of the upcoming content. This story doesn't just focus on the relationship between you and George, but others as well. It is a mix of the Harry Potter novels, Harry Potter movies and my own ideas/inputs. It does not include BDSM/NSFW - I like reading that genre, but I don't enjoy writing it. Although I am practicing writing it now ;) ------ ▪︎COMPLETED▪︎ I do not own the charaters in this fanfiction. Y/n is you, as it means 'your name', they are not a specific character with specific traits as they are you. Anything Harry Potter related belongs to JK R*wling. Anything else is my own writing.

"Hey guys... what is this?" the small orange haired girl named Emma said. Her small hands gripped on the cold bars. "A gate. It connects the inside and outside." The small black haired boy named Ray answered. "Outside? We've never been outside..." "That's because we haven't left here since being born." The small white haired boy named Norman said. "So is this what Mom always tells us about?" Emma smiled. "Never go near the Gate of Fence in the back of the forest cause it's dangerous.'" "Hmm...I don't see anything dangerous there." the small girl named (Y/N) said with her eyebrows furrowed. "She says that but it's not true." Ray says looking down. Norman looks at Ray. "It's not?" "Hey Ray! What would you do outside?" Emma happily asked. (Y/N) looked at Emma to Ray. "I don't know. You, Emma?" "I'd ride a giraffe!" "Good luck." Ray turned away, sarcastically. "And you, (Y/N)?" Emma asked (Y/N), happily. (Y/N) thought about it for a moment. "I want us four to be together and spend the rest of our lives outside!" Emma's smile stretched widely and giggled. "Yeah and that too!" "This gate..." Norman touched and grabbed the cold bar with his both hands in front of him. "You know...I wonder what is really keeping us protected from." ---------------------------------------------------- This my first fan fiction book of The Promise Neverland anime with female reader inserted.
