Summary
She’d had a bad feeling about that spindle.
Princess Kara Zorel only meant to close her eyes for a minute. She opens them to find that over two decades have passed for everyone but her. She’s become the heroine of a legend, known far and wide as Sleeping Beauty. And her baby cousin isn’t a baby anymore.
In fact, he’s the king. The well-meaning but far too traditional king, who has no idea how his cousin awoke without true love’s kiss. But now that she’s awake, he decides the best thing for her to do is marry the aforementioned true love before the kingdom starts asking questions.
But Kara has other ideas. Accompanied only by her almost-sister Alex, who has inexplicably turned into a frog during her absence, Kara sets out on a quest for adventure, to prove that a princess doesn’t always need a prince. She’ll come across a variety of colorful characters, rescue damsels (and a few boys) in distress, and maybe, just maybe, find out who was behind that sleeping curse to begin with. And who woke her up from it.
(Otherwise known as: Kara is Sleeping Beauty and everyone else is other fairytale characters and they all mix with each other in a giant web of weirdness. A “choose your own ship” story!)

Amongst the people she was mostly described as cold-hearted. Throughout her childhood some whispered about her never having been in possession of a heart in the first place. While her mother loved the princess dearly, her own father jealously wanted his wife’s affection solely for himself. From the day of their daughter’s birth he had despised his own child."

Summary
“A-Let me play something else for you! I swear I’m a master.”
Finally breaking the hold, he stomped onto the gravel path and turned one last time. “What you are is a massive pain. Now leave before you’re the next thing split in two!”
Oikawa knew how to pick his battles. And he knew that today he wasn’t winning the point. However, the war was then initiated in his mind, whether the other wanted to play a part or not didn’t matter. What did matter was that with or without the pipe, he was going to make the lumberjack admit defeat.

However, it seemingly doesn't work with one stubborn axeman named Iwaizumi. One way or another, Oikawa's determined to get to the bottom of it and most of all: win.

Summary
Water and fire were never meant to mix, doomed for one element to dominate the other, their love was the same. Doomed and unyielding. Like fire it was all-consuming and like water, easy to be swept away.
Her love restored something in him, ignited a flame in, raw and powerful. The flame of a leader.
Their love was a threat. Unrest grew within the Fire Court. Greed, Lust, and Envy; a deal was made and the lover’s lives were changed forever.
“He rose with the sun”, by day the banished prince would become a golden dragon.
“She rose with the moon”, by night the Waterbender would transform into a Moonfish.
The two never allowed to see one another again, to hold one another, until the day the sun and the moon stood as one. Only then can the curse be broken.A retelling of the legend of “Ladyhawk”
