Fantasy Candy Shorts: thrones, spells and bad decisions

Forbidden, but with a crown on

Swap the stepfamily dinner for a royal court and you have the core of this genre. The stakes are bigger on paper: a throne, a kingdom, a death sentence for touching the wrong person. In practice it is the same engine as the rest of Candy Shorts, desire that should not happen and happens anyway.

The settings change a lot from one title to the next. Medieval realms, a sunken elven court, ancient Egypt and Rome, a memory-smuggling city and a virtual world all sit under the same tag.

Our starting four

• The Gods Gave Me My Father's Wife: a prince comes home to find his new stepmother is the queen from his dreams. 36 tokens for the paid part, and it has its own page here.
• The Witch Who Made Me King: a knight with seven days to take the crown strikes a deal with a witch who wants his nights. 36 tokens.
• Trespasser of the Sunken Court: a thief caught by an elven princess who decides to keep him. 36 tokens.
• Cleopatra and Caesar: history's most famous affair, with Rome on the line. 36 tokens.

Start with The Gods Gave Me My Father's Wife if you also like Taboo. Start with the witch if you just want swords and scheming.

The odd ones out

A few titles barely look like fantasy at first. NightWire follows a woman who smuggles other people's memories until one dive goes very personal. She's not real drops you into a virtual world full of women on demand. Vampire's Lust keeps it small: one vampire, one man doing a stranger a good turn, and a hunger she refuses to act on. Sworn to the Queen gives an adult queen a guard she should never touch.

Free episodes and the price of finishing

Every Fantasy series we track opens with 2 free episodes. Where we have the price, the rest of a 5-episode run costs 36 tokens, which puts this genre among the cheapest on the platform to see through.

That low entry fee makes Fantasy a smart first stop if you are not sure Candy Shorts are for you. Watch two openers free, finish the better one for a handful of tokens. More on free episodes and cost and tokens.
