Wonder Stories

Once Upon a Time is a collection of poems woven from childhood memories, forgotten dreams, and the quiet ache of growing up. From moonlit cottages and imaginary worlds to abandoned dreamlands and the invisible chains of reality, each poem explores the fragile line between innocence and disillusionment. Some stories begin with "Once upon a time." Not all of them end happily. (All poems in this collection are works of fiction.)

After escaping a life of abuse, six-year-old Yumi is raised by the animals of the forest until fate brings her to Lucas Reverand, a feared crime boss with a heart colder than winter. Their worlds couldn't be more different, yet together they may discover the meaning of family, healing, and unconditional love. [All image credits to AI].

They were never lovers, yet somehow, they became each other's almost. Somewhere between friendship and something more, they found a place in each other's lives that neither of them knew how to define. Then time did what neither of them could-it let go. Years later, they meet again, carrying the weight of everything they never said and every chance they never took. Old feelings resurface, so does the question that arrived far too late: "What if we try?"

In the quiet village of Alderwyn, young Fenric lives with his father Brennon, a legendary apothecary whose remedies can cure illnesses beyond the abilities of ordinary healers. When Brennon mysteriously disappears during one of his regular journeys into the forest, the entire kingdom searches for him, but no trace is ever found. Refusing to accept his father's fate, Fenric ventures deeper into the woods than anyone has dared before and discovers a hidden path leading to an enchanted portal tree. Beyond it lies the Realm of the Fae, where he learns a shocking truth: Brennon was taken to help save the Fae Queen, who lies trapped in a magical sleep between life and death. To free his father and save the Queen, Fenric must journey through a series of extraordinary realms-each with its own people, wonders, and dangers-to obtain rare botanical ingredients found nowhere else. As he earns the trust of trolls, elves, goblins, dwarves, gnomes, and dragons, Fenric slowly uncovers the hidden story of his own childhood and the remarkable man who rescued and raised him. What begins as a search for a missing father becomes a life-changing adventure across magical worlds, where healing, friendship, and courage prove more powerful than any sword.

What lies between heaven and earth? Is it the life we live, the people we love, the pain we carry, or the hope that keeps us moving forward? Between Heaven and Earth is a collection of poems, sonnets, and reflections that explore the fragile space between beginnings and endings. Through themes of grief, faith, fear, love, loss, and perseverance, H.G. Stidham invites readers to walk the road between despair and hope, between who we are and who we long to become. Within these pages are questions with no easy answers: What happens after we die? How do we continue after heartbreak? Why do people hurt one another, and what makes us choose kindness instead? From quiet moments of doubt to glimpses of light in the darkest nights, each poem seeks meaning in the human experience. For anyone who has ever looked toward the stars searching for answers, stood at a crossroads, or wondered what waits beyond the horizon, this collection is a reminder that even in our hardest moments, we are never truly alone. We are all travelers, suspended between heaven and earth, searching for our way home.

In the quiet town of Lumeria, there was an old clock tower that never showed the correct time. People said it was broken, but the truth was far stranger. Every night at exactly 12:00, the clock didn't strike midnight-it whispered. A boy named Arin, curious and fearless, decided to climb the tower one rainy evening. The stairs were endless, twisting like they were alive. As he reached the top, he saw the clock glowing faint blue, its hands moving backward. Suddenly, a voice echoed: "Time is not lost... it is stored." Arin touched the glass, and in a flash, he saw tomorrow-fires, floods, joy, and sadness all mixed like a dream. The clock was showing him the future. But then something terrifying happened. The clock began showing only one future-a dark one where the town disappeared. "Change it," the voice whispered, "or accept it." Arin realized the clock didn't predict the future-it chose it based on fear. With courage, he grabbed the clock's broken gear and reversed it. The visions shattered like glass, and the clock went silent for the first time in centuries. When he returned to the ground, the town was still there... but no one ever saw the clock whisper again. Some say it is waiting for another listener. - Venkata Ramakrishna

Just a simple love story between two blonds. Not super lore accurate, but I'll make sure it's not too off. This is mainly about Lux, but I'll also make sure to flesh out Ezreal. (This is my first ever fan fic, so sorry if it's not great.)

What is sanity? How can one tell if they're crazy? I don't think it's all in my head but the mind is a powerful thing. Sometimes I think it even keeps me from myself. I try.
