“Milk & Cookies” by Vera Vuscoe

***NOT RELATED TO PROMPT*** CW: Contains death, abuse, & mentions of kidnapping. Inspired by the song Milk & Cookies by Melanie Martinez.–*–The sweet smell of hot chocolate and soft memories floats towards me, and I sigh, breathing them in. I can faintly hear the barking of a dog, as mom calls me in for dinner. There is laughter coming from the woods, and I step towards it. Towards safety. Sunny rays flicker on the leaves as I crunch through the forest, not caring if I’m loud. I love this, this joy of living. Finally, I’m free. I kee...

“Panic Room” by Vera Vuscoe

Adrianna used to be my best friend. But now, she’s gone, and nobody knows how, or where she is. “Careful around that girl,” my mother always said to me.  Depressed; that’s what many people said she was. Extraordinary, that was what my teacher used to call her.. Finished; that was what our friendship was, because nobody knew where she and her family were. “Girls are like that, sometimes they just…disappear, Sophia. He!! knows what happened to that one, though.” If she really actually meant to disappear from my life, it was clear she ...

“the last of us” by Vera Vuscoe

“Rikka…” Maeryn nodded towards the mirror. “You should check on her.” Rikka nodded. “Yeah. I know. But…” “She needs you,” Lulu said, looking with sad eyes at her best friend. “I know!” Rikka exclaimed. “Just…go somewhere else, okay?” “But–” Lulu started, but Maeryn shook her head. “Lulu, let’s go. You wanted to be able to keep Talie, you need to be able to take care of her.” Rikka shot her twin a small, grateful smile. Maeryn nodded back, her expression not changing. Rikka knew that the loss of Shira, Talie’s older sister, was still har...

“Luna” by Vera Vuscoe

*Author's Note* Sorry if this is inaccurate in any way, I just learned about LGBTQ+. I thought this would be a cute idea for the prompt, and a break from my normal fanfictions (Celeste, your part is coming out soon :) !!) Enjoy! Luna. The name brushed through my head like her tail along my back. Like a stray spark of hope. All of which were gone. Lost forever. She was a stray, and I was a house cat. We could never be lovers. The leader of her tribe would never let her outside of the forest I once wandered with her. I would never ...

“LOH: Part 3 - Kaytlin's P.O.V” by Vera Vuscoe

Kaytlin had just found her brother and sister after being captured by this guy. And now he had tracked them down. AGAIN.  Great. Now, not only do I have to protect Cal, but my triplet siblings, and Celeste and Sky, too. And THEN we have to go ALL THE WAY to Death Mountain just to find a random dude to stop this guy. UGHHHHH. Daddy said I could just do all this on my own, anyway. That I’m better than Nyssa and Mirrin. Kaytlin clenched her fists. In one was her bow. In the other was the green stone that had given her her father’s po...

“LOH: Part 2 - Sky's P.O.V” by Vera Vuscoe

Ashani, Avel - Me Sky - Stellaluna Celeste - Celeste Mirrin, Nyssa, Kaytlin - Also Me Cal - aLsO mE ******* Sky narrowed her eyes against the bright sunlight reflecting off of the golden bows that always seemed to blind her in the training room. Her mother, Queen Zelda, had always forced her to train for her powers, even though she’d gone through the same thing when she was a kid. She knew it wouldn’t develop until Sky found her trigger, and Zelda wanted it to happen as soon as possible. Sky sighed. “We’ll get through this sess...

“By All The Moons” by Vera Vuscoe

“Moon?” Qibli softly knocked on the door. “Qibli, is that you?” Moon’s quiet voice came through the doorway. “Yeah. Can we talk?” “Is this about Darkstalker again?” “What do you think?” “Well…Qibli…” “Moon, please.” “Qibli…what about Winter?” “Who?” “Winter. Please tell me that Darkstalker didn’t put any spells on you again.” “No, he didn’t.” “Well then. Winter?” “I…remember him. My best friend, right?” “Yes.” “What about Winter? I know he’s dead.” “...” “Moon?” “Darkstalker has wiped out the last of the Ice...

“Light of Hyrule: Part 1 - Ashani's P.O.V” by Vera Vuscoe

🎉🥳20 STORIES!!🥳🎉Courage. Wisdom. Power.Ashani and Avel heard nothing less than that from school.You’d think that being twin brother and sister, daughter and son of Urbosa, next in line to be chief, they wouldn’t have to go to school. That they could just focus on training.But that wasn’t the case for Ashani.Ms. Frelly droned on and on about how their mother was an awesome chief, about their history and the sand seals, about the eight heroines and their myths and legends, and how they impacted her tribe.It was SO BORING.But at least Ms. Frell...

“Before Sky - A BOTW Fanfiction” by Vera Vuscoe

“Please, don’t do it,” Bryar begged. “Bryar. You know I have to,” I said. “Lily-” he started, but I shook my head, pulling out my sword. “You have Kailani. I have nothing. The only thing that kept me going is vengeance. And now, I finally have it.” “Lily!” he shouted. I turned away, pretending not to hear him. He had a purpose; I could see it already. He was going to be Guardian of the Sand.  I was just some lowly girl destined to lead an evil clan. Nobody needed me. But my people… I shook my head again. Lily Kogha, do NOT let yo...

“Energetic Elle” by Vera Vuscoe

*Author's Note* The song at the end uses the lyrics from ‘You Broke Me First,’ and ‘And He Runs,’ but a modified version of both. My name is Elle Ramirez. I live on Court Lane, which is a funny name for a street. Court Lane is in Mesquite, Nevada. My house number is 29. It is a blue house with a yellow door and big windows. I live with my two sisters, Izabelle Ramirez, who is adopted and looks nothing like me and my twin sister, Carley Ramirez. Carley is annoying. Izzy is overprotective. They both think I’m weird. Why? I like alliteration....

“Cherry Blossoms” by Vera Vuscoe

*Author’s Note* This is my LEGIT TENTH STORY, not my message to Reedsy one. That's all! Hope you enjoy! “Willow! Look!” I looked over to where my little brother and sister were. “A cherry blossom tree! And there’s blossoms!” Emma and Ben were looking at the pretty pink blossoms. I snorted. “That’s the whole reason we’re here, right?” Ben lowered his head. “The cherry blossom festival is great and all, and it’s a sign of spring, but I wanna go home! I wanna go back to Montana!” I sighed. My little sister and brother, (Or bother, as I call h...
