He stood there, unmoved. "Then show me." Her nails dug into her palms. No. She wasn't going to let him break her. She pulled her shoulders back, took a breath, and planted her feet.

Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. Drawing upon the characters from Disney's "Return to Oz," I found that they closely resembled the original character illustrations by W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill. Employing the power of AI and Photoshop, I meticulously crafted these illustrations, ensuring they captured the essence and wonder of Baum's fantastical world.

She sells serenity. He peddles rage.

Once upon a time, they were inseparable childhood friends, thick as thieves and loyal to no other. Years after a messy fallout in college (don't ask), Catherine and Heathcliff now just stalk each other's social media profiles, date celebrities in completely separate circles, and pretend like they don't miss each other. Forced to share a stage at a swanky brand trip, Catherine and Heathcliff must suddenly address their painful past and mutual obsession before their very private rivalry destroys their very public internet careers forever. Can these two soulmates be normal in front of a camera long enough to pull this off? No, of course not. They're ridiculous people. ★ An entry or the #wutheringheightsmovie Reimagined Contest

The story shows a mirror of India under the colonial rule in 1930's and 1940's. The story is of a girl struggling for her rights in the oppressive era.Watch her fight the obstacles that came her way. Agni, a woman of sharp mind and quiet iron, has spent her life navigating the narrow path permitted to her. Working within a British-backed institution, she is a master of the subtle art of survival-until she becomes the obsession of Edward Blackwood, the son of the colonial elite. For Edward, Agni is a prize to be protected, a spirit to be tamed, and a jewel for his empire. But Agni's heart is anchored elsewhere. Vedaant Sharma is a man forged in the dark cells of Allahabad and the fierce debates of the courtroom. A nationalist lawyer with a surgical mind and a soul that refuses to bow, he represents everything the Raj fears: the rise of the educated Indian professional. His return to Lucknow ignites a slow-burning fire that challenges the very foundations of Edward's authority. As the "Quit India" movement of 1942 begins to tear the country apart, Agni and Vedaant must navigate a treacherous landscape of legal traps, social scandals, and imperial desperation. Their relationship is not a dependency born of weakness, but a partnership built on mutual respect and shared defiance. From the rain-soaked streets of Allahabad to the quiet havelis of Lucknow. It is a story of: A Shattered Empire: The slow, inevitable collapse of the British Raj seen through the eyes of those who dismantled it from within. The Weight of Obsession: A man's descent from privilege into the hollow realization that power cannot buy love. The Strength of Partnership: Two spirits finding a sanctuary in each other amidst the chaos of a revolution. In a world dictated by colonial rules, Agni and Vedaant will learn that the ultimate act of independence is not just reclaiming a country-it is reclaiming the right to love on their own terms.

Featured in Poetry section. The Brahmin, who took to arms to subdue the arrogant warrior class of Kshatriyas, deserves an epic. He is depicted here with all his attributes and vulnerabilities, taken from mythology. If the stories contradict, only one in its entirety is chosen. Whenever possible, the reference will be given. His presence is felt throughout India, and some say he even went to Greece. He created famous Brahmin lineages which exist and thrive even to this day. The work is original and not translated.

Alice Smith: No money, no friends, no daddy--nothing to lose, right? Except maybe her pride, the only thing tougher than her attitude. And, of course, her one love--whom she'd do anything to protect from her awful secret. Forsythe Pendleton Jones Jr.: By day, the envied king of high school popularity, by night the misfit from the wrong side of the tracks. No matter how fast he runs, no matter how hard he tries to hide, will he ever escape who he truly is--or even figure that out? Hermione Gomez: Church every Sunday, prayers before bed and dining...who could have guessed the virtuous little Catholic schoolgirl also had a dark side? Greed is one of the seven deadly sins after all--but Hermione chooses to call it ambition. Fred Andrews: The goody-two-shoes, the peacemaker, the responsible one who always does the right thing. If this were a fairy-tale, he should get his happy ending. But we all know Riverdale is the furthest thing from that. This is the story of the six unlikely friends: Alice, F. P., Hermione, Fred, Penelope, and Sierra--as they navigate their internal struggles and try to find their path in the unpredictable, unsettling place they call home--Riverdale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is a spin-off series focusing on the parents of Riverdale. It uses plot/elements from the show up to Season 3, Episode 4 (The Midnight Club) but is centered on the parents' character development and does not follow the show entirely (HINT THERE IS NOTHING SUPERNATURAL). THIS IS PURELY A WORK OF FICTION FOR FUN. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK FOR SPOILERS UP TO SEASON 3 EPISODE 4. Watching the first two seasons of Riverdale would be helpful but NOT NECESSARY to understand this story. This story is told from alternating points of view between the six cover characters. DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN RIVERDALE. ALL RIGHTS FOR THIS STORY GO TO THE PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW.

Based on the song of the same name. In a world where wealth reigns supreme and morality takes a backseat, Mako is the heir to a powerful family, bound by their rigid expectations and suffocating control. When his family discovers his attempts to explore his own sexuality, their rejection drives him to lead a double life as Roadhog, a masked figure navigating the gritty underbelly of a capitalist dystopia. One night, he meets Junkrat, a brash and charismatic thief who buys him drinks with stolen cash. As their unlikely bond grows, Junkrat opens Mako's eyes to the corruption poisoning their society-and the devastating role his own family plays in the exploitation of their community and destruction of the environment. Caught between loyalty to his family and the truth Junkrat reveals, Mako must confront not only the oppressive world he's inherited but also the self-loathing and doubt that have kept him chained to it. Together, they may just find a way to spark change-or burn everything down in the process.
