Here are the winners for #LITplease's Perfectly Packaged Fantasy Contest.

First Place: ~wytewolf for
Return to the Forest            The forests of Amorelle had always been something marvelous to behold, cradled in a large valley and surrounded by white-capped mountains.
         Alongside the more common oak, maple, and evergreen trees, violet-leaved sugar snappers rose up to eighty feet in the air, towering above the forest. And it was in those trees that the Fleuri made their lives.
         The trees grew in monstrous groves, filtering sunlight to shades of purple and illuminating the Fleuri tribes. They lived in simple tree-huts, living their peaceful lives without getting in anyone's way.
         But then the humans came, bringing death and slavery

Three other noteworthy deviations by ~wytewolf:
The Alcove Winter had a way of creeping up and pouncing on Fernsdale, a simple city tucked away in the secret back roads of America.
          Air chilled slowly at first, until one night the world froze, not to thaw again until spring. This night was about three days before that point, cold, but not cold enough yet. Just cold enough to make anyone miserable as rain pattered down in a clammy mist and yellow streetlights reflected off of grimy puddles on the side of the road.
          As the rain misted down, a thin figure darted through the shadows to
December           December in my city was always freezing cold. People walked the stone streets wrapped tight in their coats and hats and scarves, and wrapped their arms around themselves so they wouldn't freeze to death. The majority refused to go out at all if they could help it.
         However, despite the cold, December was also among the most beautiful times of year around there, second only to the springtime when the flowers in the round stone holders bloomed and the whole city smelled of their perfume.
         December was beautiful because of the trees in the city. They were medium-sized, ringed with little stone fences, and perfectly
Phoenix Trilogy Phoenix fly and boldly go
Brave the rain and sleet and snow
In blazing fire take your fall
Rise again to save us all

~

Phoenix, Phoenix
Bring your fire
Bring us hope
And never tire

~

Phoenix has the wings for flying
Claws for fighting
Head for seeing
All are separate but one part
Bonded with a fiery heart


Second Place: ~Lynx-G for
Everlasting Smile Lying deep within a stunted, far-reaching forest was a valley whose name was rarely spoken aloud. This valley of darkness, shadowed by thick-hanging mist, was traversed only by those foolish enough to think they could pass through unscathed. Few ventured into the cold, curling mist, and none of those ever made it out at either end. They were lost in the fog, doomed to forever wander in search of freedom they would never again taste. That is why the valley was named The Damned Valley. But only those who planned to conquer the valley dared speak its name. To other, saner people it was simply – There.

In the corner of a crowded, busy taver

Honorable Mention: ~Ascahithiel for
Every End is a New Beginning On a bench on the top floor of the East Tower, one of the stone anchors of the royal palace, the youngest daughter of the Empress sat with her elbows and chin resting on the window sill next to her, her grey eyes surveying her home. Outside her window was the gleaming white city of hundreds, closed in by a white wall. Outside, farmland and orchards to feed the city were surrounded by a double wall of shining white stone which rose sheer from the depths of the lake. The only gate in and out of the city led to a massive bridge of arches stretching out over the mirrored surface of the Silver Mere to the distant eastern shore. It was the only acc
