2016 grace paley prize for short fiction

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

QT: Grace To Grass Counterattack System

He Yuan had accidentally caused his own death. He had no idea he was even dead until he suddenly woke up on the hard floor of an empty room. What had killed him? Well... for future reference, it's a terrible idea to install a chandelier over your bed. As he tried to get his bearings right, a strange guy suddenly popped out of thin air and he was offered a job. The job offer granted him eternal life with the alternative being reincarnation. Most would hastily choose to be reincarnated so they can start a new life but not He Yuan. He was skeptical, why would anyone want reincarnation? Once you reincarnated 'you' cease to exist. He didn't care about what people said about starting afresh, gaining new memories and all that. All he knew was that once a person reincarnated, they get thrown into a different environment, different family, meet new people and in short became a different person entirely. What scared He Yuan the most was losing his own thoughts and hence, awareness of his current self and so, he chose to accept the job. What did the job entail? He carried out tasks given to him by people who were called 'leasers.' They were called this because they leased out their bodies to 'taskers' for a period of time to help set their crooked lives straight. What the leasers didn't know was that the taskers got into realms and helped them so they( taskers) could focus on their own main tasks which was world/realm balance. These realms had 'special ones' who siphoned the luck out of it. Luck was the binding force of these realms so without it, the realms would begin to break apart and deteriorate into unlivable hells. So in essence, leasers gave put their bodies and 'payment' in the form of soul energy, taskers helped out the leasers while balancing the realms and the realms become stable once more. Pretty straightforward right? Yes. But can someone tell He Yuan why these world was so full of hypocrites, Mary sue and Gary stu characters who thought it was excusable to do horrible things just because they were in love? He Yuan grit his teeth. If you want to be in love, then be in love, was there any need to use others as stepping stones?! He rolled up his sleeves and bounced forward. Just you wait as I teach you all a valuable lesson! #Gongmc UPDATES: Twice daily ORIGINAL STORY.

Ulvens Grace

Grace Harper har altid været en outsider – opfostret i en ulveflok, der aldrig rigtig accepterede hende, adopteret af en alfa med for mange hemmeligheder. Da hendes ekskæreste forlader hende til fordel for sin mage, og sandheden om hendes adoption kommer for en dag, ved Grace, at hun må flygte ... eller dø i forsøget. Men hendes vej til frihed kolliderer med Lycan Kongen. Kold, magtfuld og tynget af spøgelser fra en fortid, han nægter at dele, ønsker Caine ikke Grace i sin verden. Han tror ikke, hun hører hjemme i nogen anden verden end sin egen. Og alligevel, med skæbnen, der binder deres sjæle sammen, begynder hans kontrol at slå revner. Grace bad aldrig om hans beskyttelse. Hun bad heller aldrig om at begære ham. Men noget urgammelt er ved at vågne, og jo dybere hun dykker ned i sandheden om sin fortid, jo mere indser hun: Måske var det aldrig meningen, at hun skulle være fri. Måske var det meningen, at hun skulle forandre alt. Startende med ham. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* er den lettere vanvittige romance mellem en menneskepige med ubekvem menneskelig moral og hendes mildt sociopatiske skæbnebestemte mage – som tilfældigvis også er Lycan Kongen og har den følelsesmæssige intelligens som en sten. Heldungvis bliver deres farligt magnetiske bånd (knap nok) afbalanceret af kaos fra en funden familie, en røvfuld magi og en forbindelse som skæbnebestemte mager, der rent faktisk kan slå hende ihjel, hvis de rører hinanden. Ups. Lige når du tror, du læser *endnu en varulvehistorie*, sniger plottet og verdensopbygningen sig ind på dig med kløer, tænder og reelle konsekvenser. Den er slow-burn, følelsesmæssigt rodet og spækket med den slags spænding, der kan slå dig ihjel – eller kysse dig. --- **ADVARSLER:** R18: Smut, smut, smut. Også mørke temaer, herunder, men ikke begrænset til: Mord, mordforsøg, en stak lig, forræderi, mild sociopati, en mandlig hovedperson, der ser ud til at bade i røde flag, på trods af at hans yndlingsfarve er grøn, et uberettiget had til blåbærmuffins og pudetyveri. En **slow burn**, krydret urban fantasy-romance om ulveskiftere med en masse tilfældigt plot, der forsøger at "knot-blocke" alt. Når de hede scener rammer, bedes du læse ansvarligt. Tak~

As much as I like that it had a happy "ending," it wasn't much of an ending. Horrible grammar, sentence structure, etc. It was hard to understand. It's saving grace? It was a short novel.

Good fan fiction in Akame ga KILL verse. Main character personality is interesting enough and the Akame ga KILL characters are true to their original personality but lack exposure due to the short length of the fan fiction.
