Everyone knows that nothing ever happens in quaint, sleepy New Exeter, but to hear Jared Padalecki tell it, the town's rife with adventure, from a fairy princess searching for her true love to neighboring mice redrawing the borders and engaging in mortal combat. Of course, everyone, from his parents to the mayor, also knows that Jared's been making up stories ever since he learned his ABCs, and his friends, the eccentric owners of The Amber Moon Magic Shoppe, only encourage him. So when Sandy and Jeff give Jared a magic ring, it doesn't mean an enchanted prince will be arriving to claim it. Or does it?

Huge thanks to my lovely artist, 1orelei, who put up with all of my wibbling and wobbling, and created some amazingly magical images to go with the words.

This story wouldn't exist if not for mickeym, nu_breed and rejeneration. Thank you for the inspiration, the patience, the previewing and the betaing. Thank you for being there and for helping me pull it all together page after page after page.

And finally, thanks to the Big Bang mods, for running this shindig in the first place.
