Plots: **Ones I want to do most. [hider=*The Hollow*] Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Optional Romance Pairings: MxF/MxM/FxF Other Notes: Can be college students instead of high school. Warning for war and eventual character death. Spring Break. The group of friends had been waiting almost all of their high-school career for this very moment. This was their last break together, and, to make is special, they were all going up state, planning to camp near the lake. They packed their things, piled into the mini van, and drove for hours to reach their destination. The first hint that something was off was the lack of other campers. It was Spring Break, after all, but the grounds seemed almost deserted other than a couple hikers and fishers. The friends shrugged it off, though, and pitched camp. To kick the week off, they planned to go swimming at night, and then dry off at the bonfire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Or, at least, they would have. Once in the water, one of them is dunked under as a joke- Only, they don't come back up. Distraught, the others dive in to try and locate their missing friend, only to find themselves being pulled down by currents that seem like fingers wrapping around their ankles. They struggle, but, before long, they black out. The friends should have been dead. However, they wake up on the bank of a lake, but not the one they were camping at. Confused, the group learns that they've been transported to a mythical place that, according to everything they knew, shouldn't have existed. The Hollow. The Hollow, as they learned, was home to all the creatures of legends and fairy tails, and even ones that they hadn't heard of before. The strange world was a safe haven for those hunted to extinction in the worlds they originated from. However, at the time the friends showed up, the Hollow was under attack by something else. The things of nightmares, the creatures that were used to scare small children into behaving, only real, and much, much more deadly. Demons, as the creatures of the Hollow called them. Demons that were destroying their world, and everything they had created. Of course, the group of friends have no idea how any of this relates to them. They just want to get home, but, apparently, that's not possible. Not without speaking to the queen of the Hollow, anyways. So, in desperation, the travel to the heart of the Hollow, meeting many strange beings on their way. That's the least of their worries, though. The queen informs them that she can't let them go home. Not during the war, because the portals between their realms are unsteady, and the friends could end up in some much more.. Unkind places, as she puts it. However, she does have an idea of how they can get home. A prophecy that was wrote long ago states that comers from a different land would save them in a time of need. She isn't quite sure that some thin-limb-ed humans can win a war, but she's willing to try. And, in return for their help, she'll grant them passage home. The friends, wanting only to leave, agree. The queen assigns a few of her best warriors to train them, and escort them to the battle field, where the friends will find that there was one part of the prophecy they weren't informed of- Some of them wouldn't be returning home. [/hider] [hider=Through the Wishing Well] Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Romance Pairings: Written for MxM, can be changed easily. Other: Again, ages can be adjusted. I don't have a character preference. When Muse A was young, his family lived in a countryside town with a population so small that the school there only had two teachers per grade level- It also meant that everyone knew everyone from the moment of their birth. Muse A never had much luck making friends, though he didn't really mind. He vastly preferred spending his hours exploring the expanse of forest behind his house during all their spare time. One day, Muse A encounters Muse B in the woods. They're the same age but they've never met, which is abnormal. Muse B simply says that he's been homeschooled, and that his parents don't go into town much. They hit it off instantly and become insanely close friends, despite Muse A never learning anything about Muse A's family or home life- They never even learn Muse B's last name. About a year after meeting Muse B, Muse A's parents get a divorce and he moves with his mother to the city, never getting a chance to say goodbye to their strange friend. Whenever he tried to tell his mother about Muse B, she insisted that he was just an imaginary friend created by the mind of a lonely child. Muse A came to believe this after a few years, wrighting Muse B off as the product of an over-active imagination. When Muse A graduates school a number of years later, they head back to their home town to spend the summer with his father. The first night there, he decides to explore the woods as he did in his childhood. Armed with a pocket knife and a lantern, Muse A heads out- Only to encounter Muse B, also a number of years older, but otherwise obviously the same boy Muse A befriended all those years ago. Muse B runs off before Muse A can speak, so he follows him, all the way to a crumbling, ancient wishing well. Muse B finally stops running, but right when Muse A is about to grab them and demand answers, they launch themselves into the well, disappearing into the black hole in the earth. Confused and curious, Muse A follows. When they awaken in a strange land, they're sure the fall has killed him- But Muse B holds out a hand, and welcomes him to his realm. [/hider] [hider=Sorcerer PrincexHuman] Genre: Fantasy, Romance. Warning for war and possible side character death. Pairing: Again, written for MxM, can be changed. Other: I'd prefer the Sorcerer Prince, but can do either. Muse A, a young sorcerer prince, grew up in a beautiful sea-side palace, east of where Muse B lived. His father was one of the most powerful sorcerers, and a very fearsome king. Muse B's father, in turn, was ruler of a kingdom in which the use of magic was banned and punishable by death. This would have been fine if the two lands hadn't laid side-by-side. Eventually, a war broke out between the two. It lasted for over a decade, claiming the lives of hundreds- Including the two kings. Both Muse A and Muse B know that the war needs to end- So, they arrange for Muse B to travel to Muse A's palace, and begin peace negotiations. However, they don't exactly see eye to eye on, well, anything. Not to mention the fact that someone inside the castle may very well be trying to murder both of the new kings... [/hider]
