Summary
They all thought that Yoongi, a forest nymph who lived in the forests nearby Jimin's house, was just a character created by a child.
Afterall, Jimin was young, it was natural that a boy his age would make "imaginary friends".
But is Yoongi really just a figment of a young child's imagination, or was Jimin really telling the truth?

Summary
Undaunted and maybe even spurred on by the oft-repeated adage, curiosity killed the cat, his thirst for knowledge finally paved the way into one big mess. That fateful day, when Aslan Jade C. Winston decided to approach this strange silhouette at the park, was the day he finally broke himself away from the monotony of the daily grind. A tick finally formed, for the first time, on his should-be composed visage.
Conversely, Ash can hear people's thoughts, but meets someone's he can't; and so their worlds collide.

Dark and Light.
Families with dark magic flowing through their veins are forced to flee for their lives as society calls for their eradication. Sirius Orion Black raises his godson, the famous Boy-Who-Lived, in the world of the light.

Can he still love his guardian when he has been keeping such damning secrets from him for all these years?
Could he really find friendship and more in this secretive world? Or will he decide to drop the ax upon the coven and bring an end to the darkness itself?
Evil is still lurking, waiting and watching for a chance to return.

Summary
Looking back now, it's hard to believe that I once had the ability to feel. That I once had emotions, that I could feel my pulse and the natural warmth circulating throughout my body. I've forgotten what it's like to fully be human. If it weren't for him I probably wouldn't even be able to go on in this body. He was the light in my dull and depressing life- or least what I thought living once felt like. He knew how comfort me, how to love me, he understood me like no one else; He could read me front to back like a book. He was my everything.

Summary
They said, once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a peaceful and prosperous kingdom, rich in romance and tradition. They said the Prince would host a ball, and choose his spouse, and they would live happily ever after.
Well, they lied.--

Meanwhile, Hunk is a sweetheart, Pidge is an iconic asexual, Shiro is a supportive Knight Dad™, Allura isn't here for anyone's crap, and there's some political shit going on that forces them all together. -

Summary
The newly United Kingdoms of Auradon didn't think about what throwing all of their villains, and old world history they wished to forget under a magical barrier and lifting the entire contents 500 yards into the air would do.
Well I tell you what, it doesn't encourage reform, nor happy go lucky feelings.
The first thing villains realized is that if they wished to continue being sleazy people, and lazy sorts, they were going to need loyal little followers AKA kids.
Even more so when Maleficent held the Isle under an Iron fist. And everyone knows if you cross the less than sane dragon you get killed.
How do the Children of the Villains over come all the challenges created by the ignorance of Auradon, and how will they fall on the cosmic scales.

Summary
Castiglioscuro è un posto speciale per le Silvani.
Castiglioscuro è infanzia, è quel piccolo brivido che ti coglie quando senti un fruscio provenire dal bosco, o ti arrampichi sulle merlature e con la coda dell’occhio vedi un’ombra che prima non c’era.
Ma Castiglioscuro è anche un rudere pericolante, l’ultimo baluardo dell’antico passato medievale di Malacena, paesino sperduto della Montagnola toscana.
Per salvarlo dai nuovi piani regolatori del Comune, Cate, la figlia minore, ha un’idea: perché non affittarlo ai turisti per l’estate?
Il problema è che il castello è una propaggine di Malacena; e le notti, a Malacena, son sempre state strane. -
