In a land of sentient nature and dragon roars echoing across the sky, the kingdom Esari is at war. Prince Sage, a naturavis who can speak to plants, is second in line to the throne, but when an accident sends his elder brother and his dragon falling to their deaths, Sage has no choice but to accept the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Between forced betrothals, ceaseless attempts at forging peace between rival kingdoms, and a deeper conspiracy lurking in the cracks of Esari, Sage is struggling to live up to his brother's title whilst grappling with an undeniable yet hopeless attraction towards the dragon-riding soldier Everett. Everett has been close friends with Sage and his elder brother Eris since they were children. But the tragedy of Eris' loss strikes the Esarian kingdom hard, and when Sage can only find peace in Everett's company, the soldier cannot deny his own attraction for the prince. Duty and honour are pulling Sage and Everett in different directions, and their bond isn't meant to last. The brightest flames burn the fastest, and the tallest trees fall the furthest. And yet, as wild dragons start to go missing and an unnatural death spreads through the forest, Sage isn't sure who else he can trust. ───── • ⋆⋅⸙⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Ongoing Story length: 120,000+ words

This is going to be a bunch of one-shots and random things that I decide to post every once in a while. Most of this miscellaneous stuff will be Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or My Chemical Romance related. I'm also posting stuff I wrote for National Novel Writing Month this year, as all I did was a bunch of drabbles and one-shots.

You've all heard of Sleeping Beauty, but have you heard about her cousin? Duchess Maria is the older cousin of Princess Aurora and was cursed by Maleficent at the same time. However, the curse was not meant for her but instead father. Due to the curse hitting the wrong person, it altered itself, no longer meaning eternal sleep. Every time Maria falls asleep, no one knows when she will wake up. It could be one day later, or one year later. In desperation, the duke called the fairy godmothers to help his daughter. Spent from their spell on Aurora, all they could do was make a spell where Maria will not age in her sleep. 494 years have passed since Maria was cursed. She has woken up from a five year sleep with the physical body of a twenty-five year old woman. As she tries to maneuver back into a steady schedule, a prince and his traveling party come through, asking for shelter while they heal their wounded. In a land where magic is forbidden, Maria must hide her identity, solve her curse, and maybe fall in love on the way. --- This is my attempt at NaNoWriMo. I will try to post a chapter a day and they will be unedited.

❝Nobody can tell this story. Nobody but me.❞ Ω When Aaron McGannon struts into school with a gun and a plan, nobody is prepared. Not his boyfriend, not his sister, and certainly not the souls that hang in the balance. From then on-maybe even before-nothing is certain. Nothing, except the resounding declaration that skids across the asphalt of his mind: there will be blood. [ NO. 13 || 19.5.16 ]

This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.

When I was little I never thought this would happen. I never thought I would be here but here I am with tattoo number on my arm. I can't escape, I can't see them again, I'm here, and nobody will save me or the people I am with. There are many of us, I can't even tell you how many people are here but I know it's past the thousand mark. We are here because of one thing, we are different. In their eyes different is bad. I guess it is, well it seems like it is but it's really not. See this one guy had this plan. This plan was to destroy a group of people who didn't believe in what he believed. He put it in people's mind that these people were not even human just animals and that we needed to be taught a lesson. Because we were different that was the problem.
