    A retelling/reimagining of Poppy Playtime based on the events of Poppy Playtime Chapters 1 through 5. The story follows a young adult man in his mid-to-late 20's by the name of Cameron Wallace, who interned at the Playtime Co. toy factory over a decade ago as a teenager due to his father, Patrick Wallace, working there as well. After the mysterious disappearance of the staff just days after he and his father left, Cameron receives a lead over a decade later that his former co-workers may still be alive but trapped within the factory. Following the clues left to him, Cameron returns to the abandoned Playtime Co. factory once more to see if he can solve the mystery of what happened on August 8th, 1995, as well as what was going on within the factory that led to his father's suicide years after their departure from Playtime. (This story, like the original game, may describe unsettling topics. Take caution while reading.)

    "Ye shaadi humare liye sirf ek sauda hai aur kuch nahi." In the golden sands of Jaisalmer, Abhay Pratap Singh is the Reaper-a king who rules with an iron fist. He took a throne through bloodshed and forced a woman into a marriage of revenge, only to exile himself to the shadows of London. Two years later, the Prince of Ice has returned, but he finds Kashi waiting with a sword to his throat and a fire he can no longer control. But the Sheesh Mahal holds more than one ghost. Samar Pratap Singh, the younger prince, returns from a decade in exile to a debt of honor he never signed for. Bound by a father's vow to a woman who has every reason to loathe his name, Samar is forced into an engagement with Gauri-his childhood sweetheart turned stranger. The Storm is fighting to keep his heart from melting; the Sea is trying to bridge a trench of ten years of silence and lies. Two brothers. Two destinies. One palace of mirrors where every secret is a heartbeat and every kiss is a battlefield. In the Sheesh Mahal, trust is the most expensive commodity... and the price of love is paid in blood. A Little Rambling... "This story is a heartfelt tribute to the legends that shaped my imagination; certain characters and arcs are lovingly inspired by my favorite works. I carry their essence forward in this new journey of my own. If you recognize the ghosts in these mirrors, know that they are here as guests of my heart." (An Alternate Universe retelling written to explore these characters and their dynamics through a healthier, different lens.)

    ** Behind the Sea of Mists of Avalon, more than just one destiny changes in a single night... ** Once, Uther and Igraine Pendragon ruled over Albion-a realm united by love, magic, and the ancient faith. But in a single night of blood and betrayal, the Golden Age falls. Only two children are said to have escaped the bloody assassination: Arthur and Arianna Pendragon. But their trail was lost in the mists of Avalon-and with it, the legacy of the dragon. The dragon is dead. Long live the king. Years later, Albion is a land of shadows. The Crusades have left behind blood and famine; magic is forbidden, and the old religion is persecuted with fire and sword. *** After Robin has exposed her in the most shameful way, Marian seeks a new path outside the walls of Huntingdon and far from Robin of Locksley: under the name Ahren, as a squire in the service of the legendary Silver Knight, Sir Lancelot, she hopes to finally find the long-awaited freedom in Bamburgh. Simon, another squire, soon suspects, however, that there is more to the clumsy newcomer than meets the eye. When Ahren is finally abducted to Avalon under cover of night, the first events begin to unfold that will ultimately change not only the fate of Simon and Ahren, but also that of all of Albion forever. For the land needs more than heroes: it needs hope. And sometimes, hope begins with a whisper... ***** Volume 2 of the A BALLAD OF HEROES SERIES

    When Will Vandom arrives in Heatherfield, she expects the usual turbulence of teenage life. Instead, she's chosen by the Heart of Kandrakar-an ancient, sentient artifact that binds her to four girls she barely knows. Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin each manifest powers shaped by their magical destinies. Together, they become guardians of the fragile barrier between worlds. But Meridian's tyrant Phobos is growing stronger, the rebellions leader Caleb is on the run and creatures slip through the cracks into Heatherfield. As danger escalates, the girls must navigate magic that amplifies their vulnerabilities and threatens their relationships. Leadership becomes a burden Will never asked for, and friendship becomes both their greatest weapon and their most fragile fault line. This reimagining blends grounded emotional realism with fast‑paced magical tension, expanding the worldbuilding and deepening the character arcs to deliver a story that appeals to both fans of the original series and readers seeking fresh, character‑driven fantasy. It's a novel about five girls discovering that power is never simple-and friendship is the greatest magic. Disclaimer: I DO NOT own W.I.T.C.H

    They say the King of the Dead stole the spring. They're wrong. I walked into the dark on my own two feet. For a hundred years my mother kept me in a garden that couldn't die - safe, beloved, and buried alive. Then the earth opened, and he was standing in it: still, and vast, and the first creature in all my life to look at me like I was real. He didn't ask me to stay small. So let the poets carve their lie into the temple walls. Let them call it a kidnapping. I know what it was. It was the first time I was ever allowed to fall. She went down as Kore, the maiden. She is going to come back up as something the world should fear.

    [ONC Longlist 2024 | A Medusa Retelling.] Sydney 2112. Young men are disappearing without a trace. On the other side of town, an up-and-coming sculptor's works eerily resemble the missing men. Can the Inspector solve the riddle before her son joins the collection? *** Keya Sapkota needs to create artworks for her first sculpture exhibition at the prestigious Museum of Contemporary Arts, but a recent date-gone-wrong has left her a mess. She has no memory of what happened, but a feeling that something horrible transpired that left her with broken lips and bruised body. Keya hides in her loft, chipping away at her marble columns on autopilot. The more she chisels the more lifelike her statues become, ones she can't remember carving, but does she care? She needs exhibits for her show and the strange figures may as well be her pieces. The new Stone2Stone sculpture exhibition at the MCA catches the eye of Inspector Reina, who is desperately searching for her son who disappeared from a nightclub on his twenty-first birthday. Reina can't put her finger on it, but the sculptor, Keya, seems strange. Then there's the eerie marble statues that share their likeness with young men who have recently disappeared. Inspector Reina is determined to find answers before her son's sculpture turns up in the artist's collection. --- ONC Prompts: 60. "Look what you made me do." -Tayler Swift 3.

    Clara grew up on faerie tales, but never once thought the fae would leap from the pages of her storybooks and steal her mother away. When her mother is kidnapped by a faerie and secrets about her father come to light, Clara is forced into an adventure she never thought possible. Relying on her curiosity, knack for helping others, and the trail of hints left behind by her parents, Clara must find a way to save her mother and support her siblings before her world crumbles fully apart. Featuring princes in disguise, magic, and more mystery than Clara could've ever imagined, the path to the answers she seeks is twisted and turning, as she discovers the truth about the faerie tales she thought she knew as well as the truth about herself. ------ A fairy tale story and the final rough draft of the story, once called Glass Slippers. While there are aspects of a Cinderella esque story in the plot, it's a tale that stands apart from the same old story.

    Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign: the women of the city and gold from its treasury. Having set up camp just beyond the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy. As the Grand Prince deliberates, his boyars both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and old rituals alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls. Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now betrothed to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive and quick-thinking kinsman, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge. ──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ──────── A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; spirits both kind and cunning; and tragedy aplenty.

Mistaken for young COG conscripts, the girls are forced into a desperate alliance with Delta Squad.

Faced with the nightmare of the Hollow and the weight of a war that has raged for years, Team RWBY must evolve or be consumed. But when the path back to Remnant finally opens, they are forced to choose: return to the home they once knew, or fight for the future of a world that is already broken.
