Kira only put her name in to get out of her town, which is full of people who look at her and miss the girl she was before being Drafted. Kira is all right with her scars, and stretch marks from the growth hormones. But she's grieving, and needs space to breathe. She didn't expect to actually be chosen. But she wanted out. And she volunteered because she wanted change. She doesn't think the heart she left in New Asia has room to fall in love again so soon, but she's always been adaptable. Such as when she served in an active war zone, or got put on a transplant waiting list, or became an elevated Two, or met thirty-four new and fascinating women. Or since she met a prince.CHANGES FROM CANON:-Kira (pansexual, plus-size) replaces America (no shade though)-women can volunteer to be Drafted-Maxon is friendlier-less infighting; girls start to collaborate rather than competeCONTENT WARNINGS (differing from canon):-some swearing (d***, sh**, h***) -some medical use of needles. CW will be posted, TLDR includedSPOILER CHANGES: -Celeste lives…

When the queen of Mirkwood unexpectedly dies Thanduil is left without a wife, but more importantly his son is left without a mother. The king knows he cannot fill the ruins left by a dead mother so he appoints another woman to take her place, to look after his son when he cannot, and to give him the warmth he no longer feels himself. Inladris is a highborn elf who did not expect this responsibility to be thrust upon her, but she accepts it with aplomb and does her best to not only raise a prince but to give the king a friend she suspects he doesn't realize he needs. This is the story of their peculiar friendship through grief, and how two opposites may or may not successfully raise a child. *This is not a romance.…

Mabyn was born with dwarfism into an already-harsh life. When she is hospitalized and drops into a coma, her mind imagines a better life for her, which to her is simply a life where she is respected, the dangers presented can be fought, and evil is easier to tell apart from the things which she loves. Her imagination transports her to a world of men, elves, dwarves and hobbits, where she unwittingly joins a company of dwarves on their quest to reclaim their homeland, and she finds people with whom she feels at home. *A lot of the dialogue of Tolkien's original characters is kept, as I don't intend to change the story, merely present a different version of it. There is no copyright infringement intended.**I am predominantly following the book, but have included parts of the movie which I enjoyed and thought would complement the story.***This story is in the process of being converted to an original fiction, and I may accidentally use the wrong name in the posted version (mostly in the Alternate/Sequel), so don't panic, I'm just a dipstick.…

Sethlyn is already dying. She isn't supposed to walk anymore. She and her aunt moved here to be closer to the hospital where Seth gets her chemo, and Seth treats everyone like they've been her friend for years, including her quiet Biology partner, who happens to turn up more than once just when she needs someone, anyone; and without her permission he slowly becomes her everything. Sethlyn doesn't want to fall in love. She doesn't want to leave any more broken hearts behind her than she has to if she dies. But what if she never had to? Could Seth possibly choose between dying herself, or watching all of her loved ones die instead? Could anything possibly be worth it? *Rated Mature for use of cuss words. Nothing gory, nothing sexual, and nothing extreme in the cussing.**I haven't been interested in the Twilight series in years, but this story occurred to me, and I thought I'd see where it went. It won't follow anything word-for-word, with this story there would be little point. Seth replaces Bella, Edward is less of a worrier, and less prominent characters may have been tweaked but they for the most part remain the same.…

One who not only sees her, but who cares about her opinion--and is a person who doesn't watch her as though she's about to fall apart, which begins to convince her that she might fall together again after all. Besides: who else but the awkward Englishman would make sure the chicken she had in her suitcase was looked after when she accidentally switched them? *In this version, Celia replaces Jacob (Yes, I love him too.) *Also not a romance. At least not intentionally. *Coming sequel kind of is though. Couldn't help myself apparently.…

Tessa was yanked out of a happy life with her daughter, and wakes in a hospital with her brothers telling her she's been in a djinn-induced coma for six months. But this world of monsters is not her world--it's the djinn trying to frighten her to death by showing her the life she's afraid is hers, after she lived for so long in the life she always wanted. She's not invested in this world, these people who aren't really her brothers. But all she wants is to find the way back to her life, the life she refuses to believe is really the dream. *This more or less follows the events of S5 Ep14, 20, 21, and 22. I am also planning on covering S6 Ep1 and 2, with a few of my own ideas mixed in. *Some timeline events between seasons three and six have been tweaked for the sake of there not being too many things going on at once, or just to add a struggle here and there because drama. *Most of you probably know SPN better than I do. If I mess something up or you think, especially, I've not followed character, shout out! I want to improve. **About the Mature rating--there are references to blood and gore, but I try to keep it vague enough for gentler stomachs. I added the rating just to cover my bases.…

What if Thranduil's family, and Elrond's, lived in a Moscow high-rise? What if each no longer commanded an army, but still fought the fight not everyone even knows exists?

Tia has a lot counting against her: narcolepsy, shaky hands, diminutive stature. But she has a fast mind and an eye for peculiarities and patterns, and at a young age grew accustomed to balancing intelligence and compassion, American and Iranian culture, and modern and traditional ideals. As an FBI agent in her first year, Tia has a lot she feels she has to compensate for, but she finds--as do her teammates--that she has more to offer than the casual observer expects. Unfortunately, someone thinks she has too much, and wishes to take it all away from her. And this time Tia won't have her team to rely on. *Some content may be unpalatable to some readers, but I've kept the rating as-is because I've been as vague as possible with description of blood and injury. Please let me know if you think I've labeled it incorrectly. *I have researched my cultures for this story, not being familiar with either Iran or Islam, and am hoping any readers will give me their thoughts on authenticity.…

Tart-tongued Miora is cursed to drip water wherever she goes, and she is constantly soaked. Her parents are either no longer capable of keeping her or no longer care enough to try, so when no one else in the town will dare to take her as an apprentice, they approach the only merchant they haven't yet tried--the elven blacksmith Sanhariel, who, at prodding from his sister, agrees to take Miora on for a trial period to see if they can get along. Between the differences in culture, Sanhariel's taciturn nature and Miora's blunt expressions, Miora consistently wonders if she'll be permitted to stay, and the disapproving townsfolk doubt whether they should let her.…

Then they told her they knew her, and were part of a secret society, and that once upon a time she had known them. Not being accustomed to having more than one friend, Celia isn't sure what to think of these three peculiar white people. She's especially unsure of what to think of the untidy-haired white man, other than that when he smiles, all she wants to do is smile back.... Sequel to Fantastic Feats and Who May Hide Them…

Being interrogated by the Ministry was only one incident of many that would give Celia cause to wonder if she truly wanted to put Newt through a relationship with her, when she's divided from him in so many ways. She never doubts her own love for Newt, or that he loves her, but she wonders if their love is worth the looks they sometimes receive in public, and the hoops they sometimes jump through to spare each other further disdain. But even with these uncertainties, life carries on, with midnight summons to gather farradins, bringing orphaned creatures to the grocery store in baby carriers, and trips to countries Celia had never before heard the name of. Besides, they have bigger things to worry about: the trench virus is under further investigation since more Muggles have been infected, and Celia is expecting a child of their own. *light romance*action comparable to previous stories(Sequel to Fantastic Hearts and When to Trust Them)…

When Sebastienne's drawings begin drawing attention from both the public and the actors she sends them to her first fear is that someone will figure out why she works so hard to never have free time and why the ones who know her are always asking if she's okay. First all she received was a letter thanking her for the first drawing she sent. The second drawing evoked consistent correspondence with the man she sent it to. She doesn't expect to develop a friendship with someone she's never met, and then hardly ever sees, but as comfortable as she seems he begins to wonder why she always seems to be alone, and why he gets the sense that even when she's standing still she's running away.…
