Introduction - Enchanted Moments Some moments are quiet. Some moments are loud. Some moments catch you by surprise, a spark that lingers long after it passes. This is a collection of those moments-brief, magical, and unforgettable. Moments where laughter dances with sunlight, where whispered secrets feel eternal, and where the heart learns to remember both joy and longing. Follow Madie, Kai, Rian, Taro, and the people she meets along the way. Through school halls, provincial escapes, and simple adventures, they discover that magic isn't always in grand gestures.

Zahra has loved James for years. Quietly, selflessly, in all the little ways he never noticed. In the way she remembers exactly how he takes his coffee, in the way she stays up late just to make sure he got home safe, in the way she never once asked him to stay. But James is leaving. A new job, a new city, a new life. And Zahra? She's staying behind, like she always does-smiling, hugging him goodbye, pretending it doesn't hurt. It's just distance. They'll be fine. It's what she tells herself when they text late into the night, when she visits and always has to leave, when she watches him chase his dreams from afar while her heart quietly breaks. But the more he says goodbye, the harder it gets. And James, who has never once questioned their friendship, is starting to realize that every moment without Zahra feels like something is missing. Until one day, it's too much. Then, one day, he quits his job, gets on a plane, and shows up at her door. Breathless. Eyes raw with emotion. "I don't want to miss you, Zahra. I want to be with you." Because she loved him first. And now it's his turn, if she'll have him.

Every summer feels endless until suddenly it isn't. Augustine thought this would finally be the summer James looked at her the way she'd always looked at him. And for a little while, he did. Late-night drives, saltwater kisses, tangled sheets, beach bonfires - James made her feel wanted in a way nobody else ever had. But summer romances have expiration dates. Because no matter how much James cared about Augustine, there was always Betty. Sweet, beautiful Betty. The girl waiting at the end of every fight, every bad decision, every version of James that lost his way.

☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆
