False Prophecy

When the heir to the throne was born, a soothsayer gave a prophecy that he would end the centuries-old war and return his kingdom to a second Golden Age. But, right before he is to be crowned king (his father is in his death throes, and going to be gone soon) he is visited by that soothsayer, who admits that she made up the prophecy.

She had in truth, not seen a thing in his future, the first time such a thing had ever happened to her. She made up such an over-the-top prophecy in her fit of panic at the prospect of admitting to the king and queen her failure. (Despite being a soothsayer, or because of it, she isn't the most emotionally/mentally stable person.) So obviously, this prince's entire view of himself and his future crumbles into dust. And what happens next, I have no clue.

The Wizard's Demon

In Fantasy World, when a wizard or witch comes of age, he or she must summon a demon to become his or her partner/familiar from that day forth. Normally this demon is fairly small and weak (such as an imp or goblin), but exceptionally powerful witches and wizards will summon demons that are extremely powerful and human-like. This is very rare, so the ones who do manage it are often highly revered, as are their demons. For the most part, demons will be the opposite sex of the wizard or witch that summons them and will specialize in the same type of magic (Magic is divided by the elements, and magical beings tend to specialize in one or two specific elements).

C1 is a human-like demon who is well known for being a ladies man and being fond of both female demons and humans. He feels the tug of the summons and submits to it, expecting to be bound to a powerful (and hopefully pretty!) young Witch. When he arrives in the human world, the first person he meets is a pretty, shy young lady who twitters and giggles as he flirts with her, but they are cut off when a young man, C2, makes his presence known. Turns out, he was the one to summon C1. The girl is his little sister/assistant/friend/whatever who just sat in on the ceremony.

C1 is stunned and more than a little upset/disappointed that when he was finally summoned, its to work for a man and not a pretty girl, and he goes out of his way to make his sentiments known. C2 is equally upset because C1 isn't exactly what he expected either. Nonetheless, they work surprisingly well together and begin to get recognition from C2's superiors. As they begin to come to terms with one another and climb the political/social ladder, C1 begins to realize that his partner isn't really so bad. However, at the same time he also begins to realize that something isn't quite right about the magician. C2 is keeping things from his demon, and it might put them both in danger...

Crystal Heart

There is a species that is very similar to humans and are indistinguishable on the outside. The main difference is in their hearts. They start out normal but as they grow older, they turn into powerful crystals. The legend goes that it's when they fall in love that the change happens.

The MC is a cynic and doesn't think that's really true. However she is kidnapped by a group that wants to use her heart and does believe the legend. She is put under a spell that makes her fall in love with one of them.

I had several different endings planned for this but none of them seemed quite right.

The Crossroads

When someone dies, they go to this place called "The Crossroads" where they must pay penance for their sins and mistakes by assisting the living in avoiding making the same ones, sort of like a guardian angel. C1 is one such spirit and is assigned to C2. However, C2 isn't behaving exactly as expected/desired, and C1 is catching Hell for it. Time for some drastic measures...
