It's not easy being a thief. You just don't get the same level of respect as fighters or clerics or those goody two shoes paladins. Heck, even wizards are held in higher regard. Stupid wizards with their stupid magic. Nobody trusts a thief for some reason. But really, what's a little petty larceny among friends? Thieves are supposed to steal stuff. It's part of the job description, for crying out loud. And you're definitely going to want a thief on your side when it comes to disarming a trap or needing to sneak up on some monsters or something without attracting their attention. The point is, thieves can be just as big of heroes as anybody else. On the other hand, they can also be gigantic jerkfaces. Fabian is a legendary hero and adventurer... in his own mind. People should have heard of his brave and noble exploits far and wide, except of course for the fact that they haven't. He is a pretty skilled thief though, even if he does have delusions of grandeur. Those dreams of being a hero are about to be put to the test in a major way as Fabian embarks on his biggest and most epic quest yet: finding some rich broad's missing cat. Dungeons will be explored. Fantastical creatures will be encountered. Monsters will be battled if they seem like they're weak enough to actually be defeated. And Fabian will attempt to lie, cheat, and steal from virtually everyone he meets. After all, that's what a thief does.

Betrayal and death destroy the love of two unrelated people. Healing is needed before either could ever risk love again. It's 2010, the summer that Spain's soccer team competes in the World Cup. Makena Nielsen heads to France to escape her adulterous ex-fiance, beginning a six-week hike west to Spain's Atlantic coast. Jordan Everest starts an 800-mile journey at the Mediterranean, walking north across Spain, trying to recover from his depression over his wife's passing. Makena and Jordan follow spiritual "Caminos" (paths) toward the holy city of Santiago. Unsure of their futures, both hope to unburden some of their pain when they reach the legendary Iron Cross. Their two different treks intersect as if their two Caminos form another cross, each person unknown to the other. But both hope their quest helps them open their hearts to love once more.

Defenceless, its heroes all gone, the world faces a new threat from the unlikeliest of sources. Desperate times call for desperate measures and desperate measures call for Section F. But for all their world-saving and/or carb-handling credentials, Agents Peregrine and Fields can't tackle this situation on their own. They're going to have to find new heroes. And, just maybe, give the definition of the term something of a stretch...

She's an angel. He's a demon. What could go wrong? Most angels would balk at setting foot deep into demonic territory -- not Siah Umbrath. When the Angelic Council appoints her father as ambassador to the demonic kingdom, Siah sees it as a thrilling opportunity. As a history buff, she eagerly awaits her enrollment at St Sybil's University, the prestigious institution of higher learning in Chthonia. Her father has one warning -- don't get involved with the male students. All Kion Fellrose wants to do is study in peace and graduate without complications. Everything is going according to plan until his father, the deputy mayor of Cinderforge, assigns him the task of keeping an eye on the new angelic ambassador's daughter. At first, Kion is annoyed at the disruption to his studies, but he finds himself being pulled into Siah's orbit like a moth to a flame. The earth may not shatter when an angel falls in love with a demon -- they might save it instead. ONC 2025 Prompt #2: To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist.

When a mysterious thief steals a treasure from a reckless prince, his knights spring into action. They're hunting for the precious necklace intended for the prince's bride, but the prince knows better. His heart was stolen, and his heart is priceless. The only way he can recover from this loss is to find his thief before the knights. Only, he can't court the thief and still be the same prince he's always been. ONC entry for Prompt 137: "I am a princess and I can't love a person who is a thief and has robbed our palace's treasure. But I can't help it." Replace 'princess' with 'prince'.
