    Summary

    He didn't deserve good things. He'd learned that lesson well.
    Yet, even now, a flicker of something remained. A desperate need to know. He dragged himself away from the car’s remains, and he buried his mother’s bones in the soft sand. Then, he made a vow. He would find his way back to West Virginia. And maybe, just maybe, he would find Drew there.

    Or Neil makes a decision after his mother's death after an encounter with his father.

    Summary

    Dan inhaled and then exhaled as she placed her hand over her stomach, where she was apparently growing another life inside of her. She had never thought she could be a parent. But, then again, she didn’t think she could be a captain or a coach, but here she was with her degree and seven years of experience in coaching.
    She could learn to be a parent. She knew what she didn’t want to be, and that would be a good starting point. But first, she had to talk to someone, or she was going to be insane before she told Matt the news.

    Or Dan finds out that she is pregnant.

    Summary

    The first time that Andrew saw Neil Josten, he knew that he had fallen head over heels. He wasn’t beautiful in the way that you would expect one to be. But he was beautiful. The way that the sun seemed to highlight the auburn of his hair, and the crystal blue of his eyes…

    Andrew could list a dozen ways to describe Neil, from the easy laugh that lit up his features to the quiet way in which he carried himself. But no words came close. Deep down, though, Andrew knew this crush was one-sided and someone that he couldn’t have. They weren’t in the same social groups. Andrew stuck to his group, while Neil hung with the athletes.

    Or the Monsters are in high school, and Andrew is hopelessly in love with Neil.

    Summary

    “Jean, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that I didn’t keep our promise,” he whispered softly to himself. Kevin felt a wave of sadness wash over him, knowing he had let his friend down. It was a promise they had made together, and now it felt broken. He wished he could turn back time and change things, to be the friend Jean needed right now. But all he could do was hope that Jean would be alright, even if he couldn’t be there to help him as he had in the past, and hope that Jean, at the very least, kept his promise.

    Kevin escapes from the Nest.

    Summary

    Halloween at Eden’s Twilight was a tradition now, and Andrew was impatient to go back to the Columbia house with Neil.

    Summary

    As Andrew followed behind the girls, he watched them try samples of different candies. Their faces lit up with pure joy every time they tasted something new. It was a sight that made his heart feel warm. He thought about how different his childhood had been. When he was just seven years old, he was busy learning about the harsher realities of life, and he didn’t have the chance to be as carefree and playful as the twins were now. The thought of this still puzzled him today.

    Or where Andrew takes the twins to the candy shop.

    Summary

    “I’m not Nathalia. I haven’t been that person since my father killed my mother,” Neil said, shifting nervously on Betsy’s couch. It hadn’t been long since he had started his transition, and he had reached out to Betsy for help in coming out to Renee. 

    After talking with Betsy and Andrew, he thought it would be best to begin this conversation in her office. He wasn’t really scared that his sister would hurt him, but having Betsy there made him feel a little safer and more comfortable. He knew that was a conversation he should've had with her a while ago, and just the idea of how she might react terrified him.

    Neil tells Renee that he is trans.

    Summary

    The day that Nathalia found out who she was, she was only four.

    That was because she had learned how to read at a young age. After all, her father had beaten it into her since she was an infant that he wasn’t raising a stupid child and would rather have killed her than have someone who couldn’t take after him. So she had quickly learned, and learned how to keep her mouth good and shut in school.

    The second lesson that she quickly learned was that she was not a she. In fact, Nathalia was sure that she was a he. Nathalia didn’t like being called “girl,” “she,” “her,” “female,” or even “young lady.” Nathalia specifically hated to be called by their name.

    Neil is trans, but his family doesn't know that he is as he struggles.

    Summary

    Riko finally dragged his gaze away from the board. He stared at Neil, blank-faced and stunned, and then revulsion twisted his expression into something terrible and hateful. He gripped his racquet tight and raised it high over his head. Neil saw it coming, but it took a beat to sink in.

    Riko meant to swing his racquet and hit him.

    Summary

    Summary

    This was definitely not his problem. It was way above his scope of responsibility or what he was supposed to be dealing with. He felt apprehensive about it all, knowing that he should probably just mind his own business. He knew that whatever was happening… that look that they had given each other was none of his business whatsoever, and he quite frankly didn’t want to know either, as he shoved his own personal feelings about the subject of romance aside.

    Or Kevin's POV of the Eden's scene from book 3.

    Summary

    Everything he had worked for was gone. Every single bit of it.

    Pushing away those thoughts, he looked at the pile of mail that Abby had brought to him. It was probably useless. Something that he didn’t want to consider as he rummaged through the letters of people he didn’t know. He was ready to throw it all in a drawer to forget about it when a name caught his attention.

    Jeremy Knox.

    Summary

    She is just a friend.

    Summary

    He didn’t mean for it to get this bad again.

    Kevin had only meant to drink enough for this pain to go away. The anniversary of his mother and father’s deaths was coming up, and it was hitting him hard, and he just… needed to numb it.

    The memories were overwhelming, and he thought that maybe just a little alcohol could help him forget, at least for a while.

    Summary

    Jean Moreau was just four when he made his first big promise.
    The night had been long and lonely as he was left in the house by himself. But when his parents returned, they came with the smallest bundle he had seen.
    He knew that this was his sister. His Elodie. As he peeked inside the bassinet, he fell in love with her. She was so tiny, so delicate and fragile, and he couldn’t help but think of the fairy tales that he had heard of. Of the stories of a princess who was taken care of and protected.
    And in that moment, he decided that he would become that knight to protect her against the world.
    Over and over, he had protected her from their mother’s abuse, from their father’s business. He would sing her lullabies to sleep, telling her stories of a princess who would be saved and live happily ever after, and teaching her how to build sandcastles and hem up her favorite dress.
    He had thought that he would always be the one to protect her from the cruelties in the world that he knew existed. But, in the end, even that wasn’t enough to save either of them.

    Or Jean remembers Elodie.

    Summary

    And Neil was familiar with that feeling. He was all too aware of the absence after Wymack had passed away six years ago. But what he wasn’t expecting was that today of all days would be what broke him as he stood in his and Andrew’s bathroom, feeling as if he couldn’t breathe.

    The panic was there, sitting right beneath the surface, but still, it felt like he couldn’t breathe as he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know why today was worse than others, why he was feeling like this.

    Time seemed to slip past him before he was out of the house, and he found himself running for what seemed to be hours on end.

    Where he ended up was in a park. He didn’t know which one, but he felt spent as he rubbed his arms, realizing how cold it was outside, but uncaring of the bite of the chilly October air.

    Still, the overwhelming feeling of wrongness and of missing something vital persisted.

    It wasn’t until he finally managed to pry his phone from his pocket that he realized the significance of the date.

    October 15th.

    Today would have been Wymack’s 60th birthday.

    Or Neil deals with a hard anniversary.

    Summary

    Marriage.

    The word itself felt like a foreign language, a concept so ridiculous that Andrew had once scoffed at its mere suggestion. What did he, Andrew Minyard, know of such a thing? In the world that they lived in, what purpose did marriage serve beyond a legal declaration of ownership? A claim over another human being.

    That was a cage Andrew had never desired. A notation that he had actively recoiled from.

    Not until the chaotic, undeniable force that was Neil Josten entered his life. Not until Andrew, against his heart's will and every instinct screaming in protest, found himself falling completely head over heels for this disaster of a man.

    Or Andrew and Neil get married.

    Summary

    But that wasn’t what truly caught her eye. The rider that sat on top of the horse was just pulling off their helmet as they had won, and it was then she realized that this was no ordinary person.

    This was a knight, adorned with the highest honors. Whispers of their renown had reached every corner of the land. This knight had faced dangers in the War of the Roses. They were often compared to Joan of Arc and were known as the King’s most trusted confidante. His right-hand man…or, as it turned out, woman.

    Knight Renee of the House of Minyard.

    Or a medieval au with Lady Allison and Knight Renee.

    Summary

    Riko had gone too far this time.

    Renee stood frozen as she watched from her place on the court as Riko, Kevin’s brother and partner, had injured him with his own racquet after the shootout that they had just had. She knew that Kevin was holding back so as not to outshine Riko.

    Everyone knew that.

    Riko was King, and no one was allowed to be better than him.

    No one. Not even Kevin Day.

    Or what if instead of Jean being a Raven, it was Renee instead?
