A collections of ficlets that I'm writing for the Citadel of Words challenges. Rated for safety.

Garten couldn't make them understand. They didn't want to. All they wanted to believe was that he was an evil monster, which wasn't true. In reality, everything he did was for the greater good. **Written for the Citadel of Words October Challenge** Rated for drowning.

This is my best work. Rated T for safety.

The first one really threw me for a loop lol. T for safety.

Rated T for Safety

Oh, Morbin's dead? You think your problems are solved? Tough. That's not how wars work. There's still blood and sweat and grit and work to be done, and you'd better bet it's going to be a fun ride. (It's the royal family, what do you expect?) Note: Yeah. I'm aware Picket lost his arm. It's called being lazy.

A Record of Natalian History from the pov of a Historian writing two and a half hundred years after Morbin's fall. Is slightly AU due to my opinion of First Flower and the ending of the series. Should stick close to canon. Has typical historical violence and themes, but nothing graphic. Was taken down the first time because I finished tales of Natalia series.

What is this? I don't really know. Read and Review.

Throughout all of Picket's life, through the ups and downs, one thing has kept him going, and that's his family and friends and those he loves. This story features a song I wrote about Picket's life and how he's grown. Hope you enjoy! Please read A/N at the end. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Indira Lampshade has been told that magic is real since her earliest age. And yet, she has never truly believed. But when her parents are killed by wolves and hawks, she has no choice but to. Running isn't the logical option, but she takes it anyway. And Natalia isn't as secluded as the rabbits thought.

Maggie Joveson just wants to have a real adventure. Nobody ever asks her what she wants, they only tell her what she needs. And fighting with her dad and the looming threat of future husbands isn't helping her think clearly. She's just a thirteen year old kid. With an overactive imagination, a magic poem, and a map of forbidden island. What's the worst that could happen?

[AU - Book Two, continuation of Traitorous] I don't own the Green Ember, SD Smith does. Rated T for safety.

Sometimes through the darkness shines the brightest light. But that light can be hard to see, hard to find. How do you survive in a world where every move you make is scrutinized-everything you say? How do you stand it? And how can you bear the pain of a broken past you want nothing to do with? [Disclaimer, I am homeschooled. My knowledge of public school is based off of reading]

Hey, look what I finally got around to doing! Took me an extra three months, but, hey, I did do it! And technically it is longer...

Summer is boring. And hot. And so mind-numbingly long that Wilfred doubts that he'll survive. Then one night everything goes wrong, and Wilfred's entire family splits down the middle. At least before they had each other, what if they don't now? Wilfred was always the calm, responsible one, but how can anything ever be right again when everything is ash? [TW Child Abuse/Alcholism]

(Heavy AU) What if Garten Longtreader didn't betray the king? I don't own the Green Ember, SD Smith does.

Old Smalls/Joveson Siblings angst. I always got the impression that there was something about Winslow Smalls especially did not like...

Bleston and Garten were idiots as children. Whittel ends up on the wrong end of this-and Wilfred is just very, very done. Honestly, has there ever been a moment in his life where he hasn't been chasing someone from the royal family? This is chaos and I'm happy with it. Sort of messy and something I vaguly cleaned up so that it was presentable.

No one makes it out of a war unscathed. For Smalls, this means an almost unbearable load of guilt and pain. Picket has already learned his lesson; he's on a different path towards healing now. But will Smalls ever learn to forgive himself for a mistake that nearly cost him his life? *Go read Ember Reconciles for a better character arc than this*

Exactly what it sounds like. Random, crazy, and strange one-shots that may or may not be canon compliant. Simply meant to humour people or blast them with angst. I don't know what I'm going to do with this, as nothing will be connected and updates will be wildly sporadic.

Amusing oneshots from before 'Heir of Natalia'. Meant to be funny. As per normal, Smalls gets the short straw in most circumstances.

Trapped...stuck...abandoned...whatever you want to call it, there was no getting back to the surface...or to the lives that Emma and Picket had once lived.

So...everyone remember that necklace Heather had in book 2? The one given to her by Smalls? Yeah you better bet that's what this is. Can be seen as Canon-compliant? I'll let you guys decide.

It should've been him, or very short 3 AM Garten Longtreader angst
