Taliah is abused by her step father, her mother has committed suicide when she was five. All Taliah has ever know since she was little is to stay out of sight and stay alive. As Taliah says 'The walls you build don't block people out, they keep you safe.' She was forced to grow up at a young age and she's always been in survival mode. Now at 15 years old her step dad gets arrested and she's placed in the care of her 5 brothers she didn't know she had. Maybe things will get better. Or not. Love, Hate, and Revenge. The three ingredients that make a disaster. There is more detailed description inside, there also will include warnings of what's in the story. I hope you enjoy.

"Who is this young man?" The last time someone asked Sharon that question, she lied. This time, she has no choice but to tell the truth and face all of the consequences that come with it. Sharon didn't necessarily lie to her parents, but she never did tell them that they have another grandson. This is Excavate/Fallout-verse, but doesn't necessarily fit into the narratives of either. The idea for this came from kikiiriss, who suggested I introduce some extended family and gave me a huge spark of inspiration. This story will likely be around 15,000 words.

Excavate-verse one shot. Riley gets sick from being around Andy (because toddlers are little germ goblins) and Sharon helps him figure out that he doesn't always have to take care of himself.

-Sequel to Excavate- Riley doesn't know how to live with a family. He's trying to learn. Really. But after eleven lonely years of abandonment and abuse, he struggles with his deep-rooted anger toward his Mom and the jealousy he has for his siblings burns. And despite the offer to adopt him, Riley still can't make heads or tails of what the hell Brad wants from him. Between pressures of a new family he can't figure out, a new school where he can't keep up, and painful memories of his father that just won't go away, Riley's finger is hovering over the self-destruct button. He doesn't want to be worthless, but he doesn't know how to be worth anything. Will his overwhelming fear of failure turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy? Amazing cover art by _munroe

Riley knew how to take care of himself. He wasn't good at much, but he could do that and do it well. Cycling through violence and neglect from his father, he didn't have much of a choice. When the abuse turns extreme and Riley can no longer take care of himself, he's forced to rely on the mother who abandoned him when he was five, who also has another family and doesn't appear too pleased about having him back in her life. Physically and emotionally, Riley tries to heal, only to be repeatedly knocked back down. When it comes to his mom, is there even a relationship to salvage? How many chances are too many? And at what point should he just give up and stay down like his father told him? Awesome cover art by _munroe

Clara Vale fled one unwanted marriage only to run straight into another. It's just her bad luck to fall into the clutches of a Dark witch whose watery-eyed son collects "pretty things." Knowing it's only a matter of time before he returns and claims his unwilling bride, Clara finds her only solace in the witch's garden. It's poisonous and shows no mercy, but at least she can feel the sun and see the sky and dream of flying away. Then one day, hidden in a tulip, she finds something impossible: A man. With wings. Wounded, furious, and no bigger than her thumb. Intercepting a traitor's curse meant for his father, Prince Elion Rosegrave wakes in a hostile world where predators prowl, magic twists, and the flowers have teeth. He's growing increasingly desperate to return to his realm, where his parents still trust the very hand that betrayed them. He alone knows the truth, but he's bound to a fate he cannot break alone. She needs him to escape a cage. He needs her to save a kingdom. Both are trapped, but only she can decide if love is enough to give them wings.

No drastic change tho, just some sparkle to make the story more readable)
