The Daughter of Stones by nickstruutinsky 

Grailand is on the verge of war, as a power-hungry Reign Supreme Harald Ikalot, wants to bring all the free regions down under his foot. The Council of Citadels, Grailand's highest governing body consisting of leaders of all four kinds of magic is in disunity about the upcoming conflict.

Yet, darker things are about to fall on the realm. A crack has appeared on the Obsidian Stone, the sole source of all magic in Grailand. If destroyed, the stone is expected to unleash a power so strong it can erase humanity once and for all.

As the king and the Council are too busy with war and intrigues, Bal Harriott, a young descendant of the previous royal family, now a bounty hunter, becomes the only person to set on a journey to save the Stone. A dangerous path lies ahead, and Bal is not looking forward to it. But when the fate of humanity is at stake, he answers the call, rolling his eyes and swearing to all the five high gods.

Apple Hair by airenho

To debut, the five members of Apple Hair join AWE Entertainment, the first company of its kind in Oahu, Hawaii. Inspired by K-pop companies, the rigid training system is too much for most trainees to bear. But Van, Corrin, Kaden, Seiya, and David are determined to make it. Formed as a group early on, they promise each other they will debut as a group that will make a special universe for them and their fans.

As the training grows tougher and they make rivals with various trainees, the five boys of Apple Hair decide--why not start now? They begin writing the story of their universe, including the various adventures they want to set out on in their music videos, canon stories, and even fanfiction.

As the boys write, the universe seems to oppose. The training gets tougher. Rivals and instructors seem to conspire against them. Old ghosts come out to haunt, and the boys of Apple Hair almost quit altogether. But what they began was a magic spark, and soon it sets fire to reality. Turns out, the Apple Hair universe has more power than the boys originally assumed. In fact, their real life changes bit by bit each time they create. To debut, the boys must not get lost in the fantasy that threatens to swallow them. But staying grounded is hard, and it's even harder to do so when they're tempted to stay in their dream worlds forever.
