Summary
Once upon a time, a bunch of beloved characters from our cherished tales thought, 'Why not write our own narratives?' So, they took it upon themselves to create a world where they could frolic in happiness, free from the capriciousness of a public that seems to change its mind more often than a toddler in a candy store, constantly updating their stories to fit the latest trends.

Summary
Senior year—a time to focus on grades, plan for college, maybe party…and keep your little siblings from burning your school down too. Athena had never expected to start her last year at Olympia High with seven young gods she used to only see at home. Ares had never expected to start his junior year in his big sister’s shadow either. Unfortunately, neither can go against their father’s plans. So, they just have to accept that for the next school year, they are going to be seeing each other. A. Lot. Well, at least it is not all bad. The war siblings can probably stomach this, but it also might be a good thing that they literally cannot kill each other.

Summary
A human-based retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a Wani twist!
When vagabond senior undergraduate Inco G. Nito stepped onto St. Hammond's campus, he cemented himself as an oddball amoung the student body for his naivety, dreamy airheadedness, and blue Abercrombie & Flint jacket. He attracts the interest of prospective friends, and the resident Top Dog, Mia who decides that he should be her's. However, one thing this university can claim that others can't, is the urban legend of “Monster of Volcaldera”, said to haunt the grounds though no one has ever actually seen the beast.

Summary
Katie Morland doesn't just believe ghosts exist - she's absolutely positive they're real. She hasn't read thousands of ghost stories or watched hundreds of episodes of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures for them to be fake. She just has to PROVE it.
When she meets the Tilney siblings and finds herself with the opportunity to set up her ghost hunting gig in a maybe-probably-possibly-definitely real life haunted house, Northanger Hall, she won't let anything stand in her way. Not love. Not family. And not even a possible murder.A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey with ghosts, a Twitch channel, and a haunted house in New England.

Summary
Li777lllly challenged me to write a modern version of ‘Story of Kunning Palace’.
So - here is the beginning. The challenge is to mix up the story a little and put in some surprising elements, but also to keep true to the original TV show. So far I am having fun. No it’s not going to be as elaborate as the show, but I am going to try to keep to the general story arc.

Summary
House Targaryen hails from greatness, hails from an empire of oil and steel. This illicit and private family lives and dines in luxury. They are swathed in gold and every spotlight in New York.
Rhaenyra wasn’t supposed to inherit anything. Not Dragonstone, not the estates, and not the very Targaryen name. Yet, she is crowned heir over the scarlet birthing bed of her mother. Enemies will spring out from the weeds, both new and old in a world built for betrayal.
Her new title will divide the House, friends, family, and her own morality. The friend she loved would betray her, the father she needed would abandon her, and the uncle she shouldn’t desire would become her greatest shame.
