    Summary

    "Before the collapse, belief was mostly ignored.
    People believed in money, brands, borders, but didn’t realize how powerful those beliefs really were.
    After the collapse, it was undeniable, the boundary between imagination and reality thinned.
    Myths, symbols, and dreams began to take on physical form.
    People reached out to the "unknown" the "forgotten" the "magical" & it responded.
    When people honored their ancestors, they showed up.
    The wishes from before, and, from elsewhere, that had previously gone ungranted? manifested here!
    When people practiced witchcraft, it worked.
    Magic returned because people started believing in it again,
    not just as a fantasy, but as a way of life.

    The College of Witchbrook was founded to help people make sense of the new magical reality.
    It’s the first formal institution to study this world’s code,
    not to dominate it, but to understand it.
    Our teachers come from traditions all over the world!
    Indigenous healers, spirit workers, community elders, scientists turned spiritual, etc.

    Here, we teach hope, creativity, and memory, shape magic.
    The Earth is awake.
    Magic is real.
    Belief is power."

    Summary

    Mae govannen na in-ennyn eryn! (Well met at the gates of the forest!)
    Our story? A disenchanted NYC lawyer moves to rural Ireland, unintentionally entangling herself with the Wood-Elves of Hobbit fame that never departed Middle-earth. An Irish ex-con plus colorful friends soon follow and life is never the same. The deeds and achievements of the younger race of Men in all their splendor and horror unveil to the ancient, immortal and arguably stagnated race of Elves, leaving much to be explored of society, history, culture and beyond. More than two decades’ story time tell a tale of social collapse, families that grow under one very large roof, battles against past and present traumas, prejudices, and the slow return of the great First Age Elves to the light of day. Eru Ilúvatar had a plan for this world of Arda. Tolkien never elaborated. So a little voice said: "Go finish the Ainulindalë." And we respectively said: "Okay. I need tea."

    Summary

    Having just been commissioned with a new ship, Carrier Strike Group Eleven and some parts of the 2nd Fleet have gotten themselves into an extraordinary event which would bring them through a whole new world, cut off from both the mainland and every other connection.

    They will be jumping into a world with unstable politics, constant wars, and a whole new enemy they have never encountered before. In a world where humanity split themselves between the factions of Azur Lane and Crimson Axis, fighting against the enemy known as the Siren.

    They will not be alone, though, as they will be accompanied by several other groups that transferred along with them from their own world and from nations across the world, and unexpectedly, from the sirens themselves.

    Would they join forces with Azur Lane? The Crimson Axis? Or with the Sirens?

    Summary

    I showed my brother the first episode of Vinland Saga, and while he loved the story, he cant stand the artstyle. This is me telling the story of Vinland saga to him, unedited, as if I am sitting next to him on his bed.
    I will do my best to recount this epic tale properly. But due not he is the target audience. The violence will be a little less gorey, and since this is casual, I may break away from Epic Tale voice and switch to Hot Gossip voice. Enjoy :)
    I'll tag characters as they show up. and probably only major characters.
    Any ships are because I the storyteller ship them and I'm the one telling the story so you can assume its happening in the background. This descriptions is mostly so people who are not my brother know what they are getting into.
    Know great love goes into this work.

    Summary

    At The Briney Brush, Sal teaches survival to all those washed ashore, and even those still lost at sea, through the power of hope, beauty, and creativity, using every unpainted canvas as an opportunity, a dialogue with mortality, chaos, and the soul. Sometimes, when the wind wails just right, he hums a shanty his mother might have known! A song for lost boys, for survival, for hope.

    "Aye, the tide may twist, the wind may wail,
    But we keep our hands steady, so our hearts might sail.
    For every lost child the sea sets free,
    There’s a story, and a treasure yet to be seen!"

    Sal solemnly carries the twisted lessons of youth, the cunning, the fear, the betrayal, even the superstition.
    He carries the knowledge that survival and cruelty often walk together, and that loyalty can cost lives.
    Yet, most of all, he carries the wisdom that beauty can emerge even from the harshest storm. The sea taught him this, and he teaches it still.

    Summary

    The portal was not a door. It was an absence shaped like one—an ovoid seam of light inside a lava arch in Dimmuborgir, the Dark Cities. Wind moved through it without sound. Snow grains rode the wind and vanished against the luminous edge as if they had decided that physics was a suggestion, not a law. Maglor stood before it with the patience of someone who had outlived his own certainty and was now learning the delicate hobby of hesitation.

    Summary

    Snake cursed silently, shivering under the blankets. Had he made a mistake, deciding to follow Thorfinn? He had no regrets except for this cursed weather… It hadn't always been warm in Denmark, but here the wind seemed capable of cutting through bone. And somehow he couldn't get warm even now that he was safely tucked in bed.

    Summary

    Hiccup's always felt as if no one could understand him. And he's right - he lives in a tiny town in the wilderness of Iceland, and the only times where he feels remotely sane are when he's writing Dragon OCs on his deviantArt.

    When an accident paralyzes a pitch-black street cat, he's for once tasked to take care of someone, and might possibly, in the process, learn to take care of himself....

    Or not.

    Summary

    In the shadowed mountains of Iceland, the villagers whisper tales by candlelight-of a giantess who walks beneath the aurora, her steps silent in the snow. They say she eats the wicked. That she boils naughty children in her cauldron. That her monstrous sons-the Yule Lads-creep into homes each winter, stealing what they please. And then there's the Cat.

    But the truth is colder. And older. Grýla remembers a world before the stories. Before the fear. Once, she was a mother. Once, she was a guardian of winter's wild laws. Now, cast in shadow and song, she is hunted by the myths they made of her-and by the hunger that gnaws at her still.

    When a child goes missing and the villagers prepare a sacrifice, Grýla must choose: to become the monster they expect, or to reclaim the truth of who she was meant to be.

    This is not a tale of joy and sleigh bells. This is the tale of Grýla. And hunger wears many faces.

    Summary

    After attempting to conquer Miðgarðr and destroy Jǫtunheimr, Loki is punished by Óðinn and forced to follow in Þórr’s footsteps in the human realm. Perhaps it was the nornir’s will that he should fall near Jórunn, a young woman with the unstable gift of foresight, who offers him a roof to sleep under.
    Returning to Ásgarðr becomes urgent as his jǫtunn nature begins to surge from within, beyond his control. Yet Loki glimpses an easier path when he encounters an ancient vanr god—one who, unfortunately, knows him all too well.

    Summary

    Después de intentar conquistar Miðgarðr y destruir Jǫtunheimr, Loki es castigado por Óðinn a seguir los pasos de Þórr en el reino humano. Quizás haya sido la intención de las nornir el dejarlo caer cerca de Jórunn, una joven con la inestable capacidad de ver el futuro.
    Volver a Ásgarðr se convierte en una urgencia cuando su naturaleza jǫtunn emana de él sin control. Sin embargo, Loki puede ver un camino fácil al encontrarse con un antiguo dios vanr, quien, por desgracia, lo conoce demasiado bien.
