22-year-old Jed Pearce had it all - fame, money, a band of brothers, world-wide recognition, and two albums that went platinum. After losing the person who meant the most to him, his life became one huge downwards spiral. Now, he is at a loss as to what he wants, after giving up the dream that gave him so much. He knows that he can never go back, even though his heart remains with the band and two of its three original members. When his depression and anxiety come back to play, he is confronted by memories of his past. Jed will be pushed beyond breaking point. He must find a way to keep his sanity and lock away all of the hurt once and for all - even if it means returning to help his friends against an old enemy out for vengeance.

Jed is an 18-year-old photographer from the rural outskirts of Western Australia, looking to branch out from his lifelong passion of photography. He forms a band and crime-fighting group with three seldom-known Finnish musicians, unbeknownst that two of them secretly have their eyes on him. He must overcome a lot of obstacles and fears he never thought he would have to face, throwing himself directly into the firing line to save others. Somehow, along the way, he must hold on to his sanity. Sawyer Allen 2013 - 2024 © All rights reserved.

Jed has always had the dream of performing on stage. He is finally given that chance when three former heavy metal musicians reply to his advertisement. They, along with Jed, set out to prove to the world just how good Protective Services really are. However, Jed is intrigued by his new band mate. With Asko feeling the same way, Jed is caught between them both. With the fame, comes the ultimate price. Sawyer Allen 2014 ©

Frontman and photographer Jed Pearce has beaten cancer and lived to tell the tale. But while staying in Finland with Asko, Protective Services is beginning to fade from the spotlight. With no manager and the uncertainty of making another album, the boys must think of a way to reclaim the stage as theirs, but Janne is struggling with his own personal life. Jed finds himself lured back to help his ex, even though he knows their friendship hangs in the balance. Asko is also beginning to distance himself from Jed, but for what reason? Sawyer Allen 2015 ©

Dominik Jukarainen has been a part of Protective Services for five years. He knows the mounting pressures of both the band and the crime-fighting group are too much to bear at times. Sometimes he wishes his older brother was still alive, so that Janne could take his place. But for some reason, he can't bring himself to leave. Every time he meets eyes with the blonde-haired twenty-four year old frontman, every rational thought he has goes out the window. No one can ever know he's crushing on Jed - especially not his rockstar boyfriend, Jon Bon Jovi. He must remain the drummer's little secret. Sawyer Allen 2019 - 2023 © All rights reserved.

When Aria meets Nima, the latest in a long line of victims lured to Eden by the promise of safety, a spark rekindles her cold heart. Aria can't sit idly by while Nima becomes her parents' next prey. The two must find a way to survive Eden's deadly experiments, or risk the greatest love they've ever known.

When cleaning up a table from a customer that left, Lyra spots a letter on the floor. She picks it up and reads it, now given a ray of hope from an anonymous person's letter to themself who shares a similar story to her own. This is my entry for the #BraveTogether. $1 is donated to The Trevor Project for every story submitted so please try it out! The maximum is 500 words so it's not that long. It'd be amazing if you try for yourself :3 The Trevor Project is the biggest organization for suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ members.

A letter to myself about accepting being bisexual. It shows that happy endings do come true if you believe in your self even when things seem hard.
