I believe there is a massive difference between a friend and a lackey, between a fan and a follower and as the title reads, between a Sidekick and a Henchman. I hope that in my life, we are all surrounded by the former rather than the latter because the former keeps you honest while the latter deludes you.  AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/59… FFDN: fanfiction.net/s/14402573/1/… #ShortStory #AmWriting #Beauty&TheBeast #Beast #Belle #Gaston #LeFou

Moriarty has been a Villain I have been in love with forever. He sees the world as a system and manipulates every variable to control. He is the shadow government; he is the definition of people in power. I hope to meet a real Moriarty someday.  AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/60… FFDN: fanfiction.net/s/14412926/1/… #ShortStory #Amwriting #Writer #Fanfiction #Moriarty #SherlockHolmes #Zero #Oneshot #Originstory

Many years passed, and the age of magic was disappearing from the surface. The Prince was going to ascend to the throne, and the mermaid was to be his Queen. But what about the princess, you ask?

ONESHOT ORIGIN: Ursula  I don't know why it's always the witches who are considered evil from the very start. I always thought it was unfair that, with all the magic the merpeople had, not one of them thought to grant the wish of Ursual to go back home to the surface AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/56… FFDN: fanfiction.net/s/14359910/1/… #ShortStory #DevilsAdvocate #AmWirting #LittleMermaid #Aerial #Ursula #SeaWitch #Fanfiction

There was a glittering flash, and she saw a figure wash up on the shore. She summoned her guards and asked them to assist the poor soul. The soldiers had never been to sea. They had only heard legends of the beauty of merpeople, but seeing one in real life left them stunned.  Lured by friendship and ruined because of it.  AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/56… FFDN: fanfiction.net/s/14359910/1/… #Fanfiction #Onshot #Shortstory #TheLittleMermaid #Ursual #Atlantis

The sorcerer told him to leave and never come back, or else he would be cursed. Hamed may have been easy to persuade, but his brother was tenacious. He went back the next day and offered a simple explanation that the curse hadn’t stated where he shouldn’t return.  What happens to boys who don't listen? Read on to find out.

ONESHOT ORIGIN: Jafar I was greatly inspired when I saw the musical Twisted. It was, to me, the most honest version of Aladdin. However, I still believe power can corrupt, and so, this is the story of a boy who discovered magic and then got corrupted by it AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/56… FFDN:fanfiction.net/s/14357669/1/… #ShortStory #AmWriting #Writer #Fanfiction #Alladin #Jafar #Sorcerer

As children, they were naive and innocent. They ate, played and studied together. One was bright, the other was witty; together, they made an unstoppable pair.  As adults... read on to discover what he did to his brother... archiveofourown.org/works/56… #Fanfic #Alladin #Jafar #Oneshot #OriginStory #ShortStory
