A tyrannical king is very close to losing his country to rebellion. In desperation, he tells his only child, a boy, that he will marry a girl from the "peasant class", in an attempt to appease the people. The king has no idea that his son has been sneaking out of the castle and spending the majority of his days with the country folk, and is extremely good friends with a pretty young girl, the daughter of a blacksmith.
Terrified at the prospect of marrying a girl he despises, the prince proposes, even though his heart isn't in it, to his friend. Though she doesn't love him, she agrees to the marriage for his sake. Their marriage becomes extremely rocky, and since divorce is non existent, they must learn to force their way through all forms of difficulty.

Tomboy Queen
In a world where the King is chosen by the gods through a magical sword, a tyrannical King has ruled his kingdom with an iron fist. His wife bears his child and it is not a boy, so he kills the baby. When the Queen is once again pregnant, she is so afraid of what her husband may do if it is again a girl that she gets deadly sick. The baby is born and it is again a girl. The Queen then begs her governess to escape with the baby.
Sixteen years later. The young prince has had enough of ruling and wants to abdicate, but is not able to gain the gods' blessings. He has to remain on the throne until the true heir is found. The Council (nobles) doesn't want a King; they want to be the ruling power themselves.
Knowing that the council cannot be trusted, the prince sends out his most trusted advisor, with a skilled swordsman, to find the true heir of the throne. But the two men don't know how old the person they are searching for is, and they search for a male.
As the gods lead them, they find the true heir, but she is not what they thought they would find. The "King" is a tomboyish girl, who first of all does not believe them, and does not want to be the Queen. So the men have a problem with their unwilling queen and assassins sent by the Council.

little girl mails Christmas list to Satan
Postman Sal Magundi has never met a letter he couldn't deliver. So when little Clara Hexton misspells the addressee of her Christmas list as "Satan," neither fire nor sulfur nor hordes of marauding demons will keep this carrier from completing his task.

A Land Where Nothing Dies
There are rumors of a land where nothing dies, nothing *can* die. But it's been centuries since anyone has heard anything about this country that's learned the secret of immortality, and most think it is nothing more than a legend. That is, until a mysterious young stranger comes into the town/city/village/whatever, who claims to have been born and raised in the secret country.

A Different Man (villain with amnesia)
The villain goes for a ride on his new horse, has an accident, and loses his (or her) memory. He wanders around for a while, then some nice peasants (they don't have to be peasants) find him and take him in, not knowing who he is. Without his memory, he's actually a nice guy (I don't know why; you figure it out).
In the mean time, his minions have been looking for him. They think their lord might have been kidnapped, and they're pissed. So they scour the land looking for him, wreaking havoc and terrorizing the populace. The people in the town/farm/city, where the villain is living, hear about the approaching army, so they prepare to fight, and the villain is right there alongside his new friends.
I thought the villain could regain his memory either when he sees his trusted lieutenant at the head of his army, or after the lieutenant recognizes him and calls him by name, but that's up to you, and so is the ending :)

Beast by Night (human-animal bond)
People from different walks of life begin to have vivid dreams of being animals. One is a tiger, stalking through steaming jungle, one is a whale with a calf, heading north through mountainous icebergs, one is a sheep and feels kinda ripped off when his friend starts on about the tiger...
Anyway, they keep dreaming, and gradually, they gain control over the creatures they dream of. As this is happening, some will be talking about it – and be hauled in by the local sanatorium as lunatics. Some will be making more subtle inquiries, and some might think they’re the only one. But there are strange stories circulating – a town attacked by monsters that don’t exist, communications with the army in the north cut off, no trading ships from the east, but several shipwrecks have washed up...
One night while dreaming, the MC’s animal is killed by something immense and leathery that swoops from above. She/he is heartbroken, until a couple of nights later he/she opens their dreaming eyes – as a dragon.
How will they react? How will they stop these newly awoken monsters, possessed by human minds at night? Can they trust anyone else to help?
