Beginning right after the latest Keepers book Unlocked, Sophie returns home to Find Grady suspiciously sad, but never in her mind could she have imagined why, finally she goes up stairs and reads Keefe's (heartbreaking) letter. Will she go after him or honor his wishes? Spoilers if you haven't read Unlocked. But if you're like me and aching to read the next book I hope this fanfic will help you with the wait. Enjoy! ~~~ She sat frozen, hardly allowing herself to breathe. Keefe was... gone? Shock paralyzed her whole body as her mind processed this thought. "No." Sophie muttered, sure she had to have gotten it wrong. This was all a misunderstanding right? Maybe she'd read it wrong... or maybe it was a joke. Yes. A joke, that's what it had to be. It had to be a joke. Cause this? Keefe leaving? Never seeing him again? If that were true... if this was real... She'd never survive the coming war. ~~~ He was so close. So close to hearing her voice. It was so simple. He could just call her name and she'd be right there. All he had to do was say her name. "Keefe!" She called frantically, racing towards him. "What is it?" Keefe asked, waiting too see what in the world could make her look so startled. "A girl dropped out of the sky!" ~~~ Ask before you copy any original characters, scenes etc. ~~ Discontinued ~~

Not all girls like to live by the rules. Especially not 19-year-old Cordelia "Daisy" Delamare, a runaway bride turned pirate captain. Carving her destiny and solving the mystery of a lost treasure map during the romantic and dangerous Golden Age of Piracy. Who knows what else she will find along the way? 🌩This story is undergoing MAJOR changes, rebranding, editing, etc. I will leave the current chapters posted until the new ones are done and thereby posted in place of the old. 🌩 Updates will be SLOW due to my ongoing concussion recovery. 🌩 Re-imaging of the Time Princess (an app) story: The Perfect Storm. I will be using characters, plot elements, pictures, fan art, etc., from there. I OWN NOTHING!

"BYLETH, YOU'RE DYING." Those were the words Byleth Eisner had heard her entire life...but it had never rang true. She had always known that the doctors were wrong, that she was going to keep living, but the fear of death was constant. Born with a heart that never beat, Byleth's life was constantly swamped with doctor's visits and frantic calls from the hospital. Byleth was just going about her normal day when a new face pops in at her workplace, the Eisner bar. His name is Claude von Riegan, a new bartender who has big dreams and hidden secrets. They hit it off right away. And for the first time, Byleth feels as if maybe life really is more than just waking up every day and going through the motions. For the first time in her life, the fear of death disappears from her mind. "BYLETH, YOU'RE DYING." These three words had echoed through Byleth's entire life...but this time, Byleth knew it was true. The doctors showed her screenings of something mutating on her heart. At most, she has one year to live, unless she can find a cure. Despairing about the unfairness of the situation, Byleth swears she will save herself. For her own sake, her life would continue on, especially now that she had become enlightened by Claude's presence. However, it doesn't take him long to figure out something is wrong with his new instructor. Claude promises to stand by her side, and help her. Inspired by this new hope, Byleth and Claude must race against time to find a cure before her clock runs out.
