    Summary

    Reality might have been tearing itself in two. For endless loops, nothing had changed. In the span of two minutes, everything had. Chase managed, “What... who are you?”

    Feeling dizzy, he slumped back onto the ground again, legs folding awkwardly beneath him.

    Those moonstone eyes followed him the whole way down, and then the dark-haired stranger crouched to be back on eye level. “I’ll only ask this once, so it would be wise of you to answer completely and correctly,” he said sharply. “How did you get here, and where is your key?”

    or, Nox stumbles across a boy who can't remember a life outside of being Cinderella. Both of them have things they are trying to escape from. This proves to be problematic.

    Summary

    Chase hesitates for a long moment before raising his hand to the door. He knocks once, twice, and waits, unsure what emotion swirls in his chest.

    For a moment it is simply quiet.

    Then a thin, raspy, “Come in.” answers him.

    Chase takes a calming breath, in and out. He pushes the door open and lets the soft wash of light carry him in.

    The Queen is resting on her sickbed, surrounded by shadows, with only the light of a small lamp hanging above her head. It casts her in gentle spotlight, like a lantern sunk in a deep ocean. When she sees him, her eyes widen slightly and her mouth parts.

    “Hello darling.”

    -------------------

    Spurred on by a sleepless night, Chase goes on a solo book adventure. It seems like the standard fairytale of a princess looking after her kingdom, and... her bedridden Mother. Buddy is seemingly missing and family responsibilities soon start piling on the princess' shoulders.

    Aka: It sure is a good thing that sick mothers isn't a popular trope in fantasy fiction.

    Summary

    Princess Andromeda of Lilindell’s safety is of the utmost importance, so her guards must be chosen very carefully—guards that flock to the palace like suitors, to compete against one another in a series of tests to prove themselves worthy of protecting the future queen. What neither the princess nor her steely-eyed father know is that one of these guards is actually a simple village girl, masquerading as a male guard under the name of “Capelle”, come to the palace with one goal in mind—a goal that, under no circumstances, can the intriguing and strangely alluring princess know.
    Only one problem—

    This entire tale takes place within a storybook that someone picked up from the local library and forgot about. The enigmatic Capelle is, in fact, a starry-eyed teenage boy with hair the color of gold named Chase, and the fabled Princess Andromeda, a sulky stranger with a strange grasp on humanity named Nox.

    Summary

    Swimming means jumping in the water. Swimming means drowning, for the tiniest of seconds, before you fight to breathe again. Swimming means making the choice against stagnation.

    or-

    He's either drowning, or surviving. If only there was a difference.
