The 'Lord of the Rings' series can be considered. The stars are often mentioned in the lore of Middle - earth, and there are many legends within the story, like the legend of the One Ring. The characters are like stars in their own ways, with Frodo being a central 'star' figure who has to deal with the powerful and dangerous legend of the Ring. Also, 'The Chronicles of Narnia' has the idea of stars having significance, and there are numerous legends in the magical land of Narnia that the characters interact with.
One example could be a children's story where a baby animal gets lost. The mother animal's pheromones are what eventually lead the baby back to her. Another could be a story about a human mother who has been away for a long time. When she returns home, her children unconsciously recognize her through her pheromones, and there is a heartwarming reunion scene.
The book 'Like Water for Chocolate' is a great example. In this story, the main character's emotions are so strongly tied to her cooking (food). Her unfulfilled love and sexual desires are expressed through the food she prepares. Every dish she makes has a connection to her emotional and sexual state. The food becomes a medium through which her repressed feelings, including those related to sex, are revealed and have an impact on those who eat the food.
Sure. One example is when the detective has been chasing a suspect throughout the story. At the end, it turns out the detective was actually the one being manipulated all along by the suspect's twin who no one knew about. And then the story just ends, leaving the reader shocked.
Another example could be a story where one friend is in trouble and the other goes to great lengths to help. At the end, when the friend in trouble is saved, they both have a deep moment of gratitude and connection. Maybe one friend was sick and the other friend sold all their prized possessions to pay for the medical bills. In the end, they know that their friendship can withstand any difficulty, which is a really touching emotional ending.
Sure. There could be a 'friends tucking story' where friends are trying Japanese cuisine. They are at a sushi bar, tucking into various types of sushi rolls. They might be a bit hesitant at first with the raw fish, but as they take their first bites, they discover new flavors and start enjoying it more and more.
One example could be a story where a lost traveler in a dark forest follows the star light to find his way home. The star bright serves as a guiding force, leading him through various obstacles. Another could be a love story where two characters meet under the star light and their relationship is blessed by the magic of the star bright.
One example could be a fanfiction that focuses on a minor character in a Star Trek - like universe. The story might explore their backstory, which wasn't fully developed in the original series. Another could be a Star Wars - inspired fanfiction with a focus on a particular planet or species within the Star Wars galaxy.
I'm sorry I can't really name specific titles from the list of bad Star Trek novels as I don't have an official such list at hand. But as I said before, novels that mess with the beloved characters' personalities in a negative way could be on it. For example, if they made Captain Kirk act completely out of character by being overly cowardly or mean - spirited.
In 'The Wind in the Willows', Mole, Rat, Badger and Toad's friendship is solidified at the end. They return to their normal lives but with a deeper bond. It shows that friends can have adventures together and still come back to a peaceful coexistence. This ending also conveys that friends can help each other grow and change for the better.
Sure. The main character could be transformed into a powerful magical being as an ending. For example, a humble peasant girl is turned into a fairy queen after passing a series of difficult tests. She then takes her place on the throne and rules over the fairy realm with kindness and wisdom.
