Life 2.0: mostly sweet short M2F TG stories by sabrynabrooklynne

The 30+ stories in this collection are short mostly sweet vignettes with a transgender theme. While most are happy stories you can read in one sitting, there are several quite sad ones, as well. Some feel like true stories while others involve a magical transformation. They are all one offs, meaning what you see is what you get and there won't likely be any sequels to any of them. If you like any of my other stories, you'll enjoy these as well. *This story was written by Sabrynabrooklynne on Wattpad. If you aren't reading it there, it's been stolen. Please report the website. It's probably not the final version either.*

Flickering Creatures | ONC 2024 Longlist | ✔︎ by SmokeAndOranges

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Enchanter by jackson_terrance

Since the age of eleven, Anton had lived with a curse. His curse: whenever he looked at anything that would show his reflection, he would instead see a sorceress from another dimension. After nine long years of living with convicted sorceress Azalea, the two had yet to find the Bleeding Rosebud, the one ingredient left to help them unlatch from one another and live their own lives separately. Anton fears the day he will meet his mate, because if his mate marks him, he will mark Azalea, too, and keep them latched together forever. He travels from pack to pack in search of anything that will lead him to the Bleeding Rosebud, but to no avail. It's not until he steps foot onto the Solar Summit pack and accidentally knocks into his mate, Alpha Aaric Grove. With Aaric excited to find his mate, and believing he is a woman, Anton knows everything is going to get out of control in no time. This book is a little different compared to the other books I write, but I had so much fun writing it that I wanted to share it all with you. I hope you enjoy it!

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

Cry Me a River |✔️ by PrinceDel

Since River has been old enough to ask, his father has brain-washed into believing that he's unworthy of any sort of love. Especially from his long-awaited, fated mate. He has no future, just an awaited rejection and a continued life of abuse. All that gets him through his bruised life is when he allows his mind to wander to his other half. Even with thought of rejection, River holds nothing more dear than the dream of one day meeting his mate. Little does River know that one day he is going to be sold off into slavery with only that single thread of hope to hold him together. #17 in Werewolf #36 in Romance #13 in LGBT #8 in boyxboy Contemporary Reads Awards- 8/10/16 Brigades Awards- 11/10/16
