Ever since Silena Beauregard was a child, she would have strange, almost prophetic-like dreams about a handsome, golden-haired prince from Phthia. But unlike every other demigod, her dreams aren't trying to warn her about imminent death; they're just dreams. If anything, their only use seems to be giving her poorly-timed deja vu. And they only continue to get worse the older she gets.At age sixteen, Silena comes to a terrifying realization: her dreams are a double-edged sword, and they come with a cost she's not entirely sure she can afford. Will the visions of her golden-haired prince's death in the Trojan War save her or lead her to her own demise?Or: What if Silena was really just the reincarnation of Patroclus?…

*SEQUEL TO PIGMENT*The world never stops turning. A story may end, but that doesn't mean the life of a character suddenly disappears. I'm still here in Devil's Acre of all places, and it appears that our internal clocks have been reset. Miss Peregrine did say we earned a vacation, and where else could we go, other than sunny Florida? Now we all must decide where our loyalties lie, and opinions among friends differ. Hopefully this won't cleave people apart, especially as we meet new and old friends along the way. This definitely isn't the twentieth century anymore!Final word count: 66,513Total word count between the two stories: 202,929…

Stories, for the most part, have good main characters. If this were to be a good story, the main character couldn't be Alice Noble, since she thought herself too boring for that role. Nor could it be Harry Connolly, who had just barely survived a horrific car crash and was sent to the hospital right after.But The Soldier from Harry's drawing. The drawing Harry gave Alice just before he entered that car only to get hurt in it later. Now, that character would make a great story, if Alice knew what she was doing. She could tell the story to Harry as she visits him in the hospital. And perhaps the magic in the story may heal him just as it heals her.…

Nina and Matthias's story is one for the ages: a classic epic about two rivals who learn to coexist and learn to love one another. It's a story we've seen hundreds of times before, but what if they never made it out of Fjerda? What if fate had other plans for our doomed couple?After hiding out in a secluded cabin nearing the Fjerda-Ravka border, Nina is captured by a team of Drüskelle. It's up to Matthias to save the enemy from the Ice Court without backup or allies before she can be tried for her supposed "crimes" - a task no one has attempted before. It's a story told again and again, but Matthias can only hope it ends for the better this time.In other words, it's a four-part Greek mythology Helnik AU(Slightest of spoilers for King of Scars)FINAL WORD COUNT: 32,101…

What did I think about my life? It's cool, it's great, and I loved living in a tiny house with no air conditioning in London with my very sweet, very sarcastic cousin. Why would you ask? I mean, sure everyone kept saying, "1972 is your year, (Y/N)!" But I didn't believe it until recently. I had began to get these strange powers. I was a magical Crayon with the weird ability to change the color of anything I chose. I needed to figure out how to control it, or find someone who could teach me. A strange feeling told me to go to Cairnholm, a tiny little area in Wales, and I had nothing better to do. So, now I was off to get weird diseases, find out more about this 'chromokinesis' stuff and maybe fall in love. Didn't matter what order, as long as I had fun on the way, right? Right??Final word count: 136,416…

"We could be a dynamic duet!" I claimed, happy that my mask hid the idiotic smile on my face. "Like Batman and Robin, except less edgy and actually defeating the bad guys.""Don't you mean duo?" Spider-Man asked curiously. "Not in the slightest. We sound more in harmony this way."Eurus is the best teen superhero in Queens, even if Spider-Man denies it (he's secretly jealous). It wasn't her fault that she could defy the laws of gravity, making her a total badass! Of course, that was only what (Y/N) (L/N) calls herself outside of her "life". She promises herself not to fall in love, since it never works out for badasses like her, but then she meets a real BITCH named Peter Parker, who makes her heart flutter whenever she sees him.
