Wish fulfillment stories

samuelmichaels 🚫

I am looking for recommendations for longer wish-fulfillment stories. You know, where MC acquires wealth, security, love partners, health and strength if not present at the start.

Could be rags-to-reaches, or middle-class to riches. Could be coming of age, or an old geezer getting a new youth, whatever. Could be male or female MC.

Could be an outright fantasy/SF, or just improbable real-life developments. Prefer something reasonably close to actual reality to start, even if it ends up with an alternate timeline.

Thanks in advance.

Probably not what your looking for but it is what jumped into my head

'The Last Wish Blues' by Lubrican

Brenda was offered one last wish, before the tumor in her head killed her - the chance to do something fun, and to forget her disease, if only for a few days. She made her choice, and it seemed reasonable. But wishes have a way of changing, and, when hers changed, it also changed what was left of her life forever.

Not what I was looking for but a great story.

Same here, I prefer something that could happen without reliance on magic or little green space aliens.

Yuma, by JRyter is one that certainly could have happened in real life, especially in the 1920's:

Jacob's Grandaughters is one of my favorites:

A little harder nowdays with all the worries about identity theft, but not impossible, given that a lot of very wealthy people keep a low profile.

That describes two of my series…

A Well-Lived Life
Climbing the Ladder

Both are historical fiction (that is, make use of historical events and people).
