    Summary

    Renata Lestrange was born to become the Dark Lord's loyal follower, like her parents and grandparents before her. Unfortunately for those plans, they never accounted for the influence of her cousin, Nymphadora Tonks. Or for how lonely it is, being raised in a derelict manor by a half-mad Dark Wizard.

    Under circumstances like those, who wouldn't be curious about their estranged aunt and uncle? Or about what would lead her own mother's sister to elope with a Muggleborn, in defiance of everything they were raised with. Renata has questions, and the answers the true believers give her just won't cut it anymore.

    Summary

    n. the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore—that although you thought you were following the arc of the story, you keep finding yourself immersed in passages you don’t understand, that don’t even seem to belong in the same genre—which requires you to go back and reread the chapters you had originally skimmed to get to the good parts, only to learn that all along you were supposed to choose your own adventure.

    Gem's spell goes a bit different and has some unexpected repercussions. Pearl basically adopts Xornoth and Scott remembers some stuff.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, in a kingdom once known as Glimmer Grove, there lived a king and a queen who, despite the queen’s infertility, desperately longed for a child. They tried expertly trained royal doctors, old wives tales, and even spells and potions, but the queen had yet to bear a child.
    One fateful night, the queen took a stroll through the royal gardens, her white satin nightgown glistening in the light of the full moon. The garden was fast asleep, the chirping crickets being the only sound blanketing the looming silence. The fireflies danced around the queen as they dimly lit the path. She found her way to the royal wishing well, rumored to have magical properties. It was her last hope, her last chance of fulfilling her only wish. Sitting at the edge of the wishing well, she whispered a prayer to the evening breeze.

    Or…

    Princess Katherine is cursed never to laugh, and her soulmate is the only one who can break it.

    Summary

    Scott’s childhood was filled with bedtime stories told by his mother, stories of the other empires, of magic, of the gods. She told grand tales of corruption and the gods who sacrificed themselves to cast it from the realm, leaving the land they created and the people they guided safe.

    Then she dies, and there is no more time for stories. Scott devotes himself to his studies. He molds himself into the image of a beloved king, elegant, knowledgeable, kind, and perfect. Always perfect. He provides for the citizens of Rivendell and watches as his kingdom thrives. He joins the Alliance, establishing trade routes and alliances, and gains a few friends along the way.

    But something goes wrong. Something creeps through the land, corrupting it. Accompanying it is a creature of magic, a creature that speaks with a voice belonging to the shadows and Nether, and each day it grows stronger.

    His mother's stories may no longer just be stories. But they may not be the entire truth either.

    or

    empires season 1 lets gooooo, but with canon divergence, world building elaboration, magic systems, and some politics

    (first fic in series is unnecessary to understand this one)

    Summary

    Scott was sitting at the bar, swirling a glass of some bright and effervescent drink. He pitched his head back and downed it, feeling the familiar burn on his throat. Pulling his fedora down, mostly to hide his face, he glanced over at the man in the booth in the corner. The man was concealed by the only bit of darkness in the whole tavern.
    He was also convinced that that man was watching him.

    "I have an idea!"
    "Is it a good one?"
    "We could pretend to date!"
    "Ah, so the answer is no, then."
    "It can't really be that hard!"
    "It really could be."
    "And then everyone would think we're on good terms no matter how much we fight!"
    ...
    "I hate that you're right."

    Or, the author is throwing a bunch of romantic cliches into one fic since she hasn't written proper romance in about two years and is greatly out of practice.

    Summary

    “Great, stuck with a princess, and now I’m hearing things. Just my luck.”

    Glinda shot her a glare over her shoulder. “And I’m stuck with a rude, green—person!” she huffed, spinning back to fuss with her skirt. “Honestly, why do I always get the short end of the stick?”

    The woman smirked faintly, her eyes fluttering closed. “You don’t even know the half of it, princess.”

    “Fine, then! You can bleed all by yourself because I’m not going to share my cell with-with—” Glinda sputtered, struggling to form a coherent thought to describe the woman in front of her.

    “What happened? Run out of insults?” the woman rasped, trying to smirk through gritted teeth as she clutched her side. “Want me to help you?”

    Or:

    What if Elphaba Thropp, the most wanted outlaw in Oz, and Glinda Upland, a walking enigma, didn’t meet as reluctant roommates—but as unwilling cellmates in a Western.
