A story about an adopted girl who wishes nothing more than a peaceful life, a warm home and a happy mind. *Characters are based from the Ghost Bird series by CL Stone. Story will differ mostly on Sang's family life. There will be OCs I'll be adding to the story as it progress. **special thanks to skyepanda1 for making another wonderful cover for my story ;) And to my wonderful beta a_force_of_nature, you really are a force of nature. Thank you for all the hardwork.

Putting the hell of her past behind her, Sang lives in a crappy, one-bedroom apartment above a pizza front in some small, backwaters town located in Illinois. She's been off the grid for years, living a peaceful existence working as a waitress at a dingy diner. Until she comes home and finds two crying babies on her doorstep along with a note from the last person she'd expect to hear from. Without much choice and a conscious that wouldn't allow her to abandon the two bundles, Sang moves to Charleston, SC looking for a fresh start. But can she handle the struggles of being a single mom? Especially when a couple of guys from the Academy get involved? The Toma team become intrigued by the mysterious, young woman who just moved into the Sergeant Jasper along with her two-year-old twin sons. She's skittish, wary, and avoids social interactions like the plague. But they can't deny the need to help her that fuels through their Academy blood. When her background check comes up empty, however, questions are raised and they begin wondering, just who is Sang Sorenson? And what happens when the Blackbourne team get involved? Confirmed HEARH with all fourteen. Toma team/Sang/Blackbourne team. This will NOT have any slash between any of the guys in the harem. This is a fanfiction based on character's from CL Stone's Ghost Bird + Scarab Beetle Academy series.

What would the Academy's top-rated, bombshell of a Ghost Bird do when she's offered to do a highly dangerous, month-long mission in Charleston, SC, not knowing what or who awaits her in the place she used to call home? Will she accept this mission and be forced to face her past, present and future or step away and not take the risk? Well, one thing's for sure. She's in for the surprise of her life. *An alternate universe based from CL Stone's characters from the Ghost Bird Series.

Sang isn't a fifteen-year-old cowering at the hands of her stepmother. She's on her own. Eighteen and living in a house her father bribed her with alongside two faithful dogs, she's been paving her own way since the payout a year ago. When Marie died in a car accident, her mother was hospitalized and her father remarried. Sang was left with a house on Sunnyvale Court, another two years in high school, and no friends to speak of. She's made it just fine on her own and she's not apologizing for existing anymore. Meeting nine new guys right before her senior year at Ashley Waters is an odd coincidence that shakes her foundation and causes her to reevaluate what matters to her. After all, she didn't need friends then, she doesn't need friends now. Right?

Sang has always existed on the edges. With no friends to call her own and an older, popular sister who keeps her distance, she has learned to stay small. Quiet, clumsy, and painfully shy, she slips through the halls unnoticed. Some call her an outsider. Most don't notice her at all. Hidden behind oversized glasses and baggy clothes, she is used to being invisible and she prefers it that way. Until the day someone finally notices her. The Blackbourne team never intended to get close, but they find themselves drawn to the quiet girl everyone else overlooks. Their mission at Ashley Waters comes first, yet Sang's past begins to intertwine with it in ways none of them expect. When things escalate, the Toma team is brought in, and it quickly becomes clear that both teams are falling for her. As the lines between duty and emotion begin to blur, Sang is faced with something she has never had before: people who choose her. And for the first time, she begins to learn what it truly means to be loved, and to belong. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Fanfiction of C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series. Confirmed HEA RH ending with Sang x Blackbourne Team x Toma Team. No male x male pairings. Rewritten as of 5/2/2026
