The Appalachian Wraith Relocators - or AWR, for short - are a group unto their own that "unique" doesn't even Begin to describe. Hailing from the small Town of Roan Mountain, they're similar to the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, but there's a few key differences. Firstly, the AWR consists of 5 women, rather than 5 men - secondly, they're all Pagan, rather than Christian. Thirdly, they don't chase and try to trap Spirits - they peacefully move on and relocate those ready and willing to leave. And lastly, their specialty's in currently-active recording studios, not long-abandoned and rundown asylums. So, when they get an SOS call from Foxy Studios in Los Angeles, they don't hesitate to respond. However, they're not expecting to wind up in the middle of a missing person's case that quickly turns into a murder investigation...

This is basically nothing but a companion pieceta my recent story, "Purdy Lies". In Essence, it's THAT story, told from Ash's point of view. Ya don't necessarily HAVE to, but I'd highly recommend reading "Purdy Lies" before ya even attempt to read this. I've tried to write it in such a way that that's not necessary, but I've Future plans for that story so that reading it first'll be a good idea.

Death can be a hard Change for just about anyone to process, no matter the exact circumstances that accompany it. But a literal Lifetime of lies being Revealed seemingly all at once alongside that Death can and will worsen it for anyone directly involved. That's exactly the scenario Ashley "Ash" Purdy finds himself in after getting a none-too-friendly phone call from his beloved pop while he's between tour legs, though. Each one of those lies'd piss him off to high Heaven and back by themselves, but all put together - well, it's enough to give even a saint a stroke, to say the least. How will he manage finding out the Truth about a few different things and having his whole World collapse around him? And will it lead to an unexpected reunion that's one of the few thingsta help get him through it all without any semblance of Sanity left?

In the Summer of 2001, after a lil over 4 Years of living in Cali, 21-Year-old Ashley "Ash" Purdy's ecstatic to finally find himself at the altar. The wedding to the older, more or less Secret daughter of Poison's Bobby Dall - 19-Year-old Avalon - feels like it's a Lifetime in coming for both of them. Fast-forward 18 Years, and a lotta shit's Changed. Not only've the couple added four children - 2 boys and 2 girls - but they've essentially been leading a double Life. In a bid to respect his wife's need for privacy that outdoes even her father, Ash's never said a word about being married, not even to his band mates. On top of that, he's been trying to Balance his family Life in Tenn with being part of a clueless, Cali-based band. That all Changes when everything comesta a head, starting with the loss of his beloved grandparents. Between the stress of his band, missing out on so much with his family, and now losing those who raised him rather suddenly, Ash realizes that his wife and kids could be next. With the downward turn in his mental Health on top of it, he's determined to rectify that before it's too late - but at what cost? All that Ash's ever kept Hidden in the Shadows of his proverbial closet suddenly get brought to Light - starting with his band finally meeting his wife and father-in-law. Surely, he'll be able to overcome such revelations - not to mention the rifts only worsened by them, as well as other factors - getting him ousted from said band. Or will this be what finally breaks him, as well as his marriage to Avalon, for good?

Bad Storms and Twisters're just part of the way of Life in Nashville, Tenn. The Capital of Country Music ain't part of the infamous "Tornado Alley", but they ARE part of another area that can be just as dangerous - "Dixie Alley". No one expects a Twister to actually touch down in either of those areas, though - they can track the conditions and predict the possibility, but they never expect and Hope like hell that they don't get one. But even less expected is for a Twister to touch down and bring with it an unexpected Romance or two. Yet, that's exactly the situation Ashley Purdy winds up finding himself in - trying to navigate a Global pandemic like everyone else, as well as slowly falling in Love.

Having tired of her mother's constant, varying forms of abuse, Aerin Crosswhite finally decides that it's well past Time to get outta said mother's house once and for all. At the age of 25, nearing 26, many'd say that assessment's more true than prolly any other - and she's the first to agree with something unspoken. Upon letting her best friend - who's as much her cheerleader as her voice of reason - know what she's Intent on doing, she does just that. But making her way West's nowhere near as easy as one'd think it is, especially with her varying undiagnosed Health conditions that she's to contend with. However, it's actually NOT her Health mixed with a hard Journey that damn near brings Aerin to her knees and has the potential to kill her - it's the Weather. Once the Danger posed by the Weather's well past, her Intent's to get the Múspellsheimr outta Dodge before she finds herself in as much trouble as she coulda been due to the Weather. But her escape's thwarted when the owner of the house she broke into finds her after the Storm clears, and one can't blame them both for being more than a lil wary. This property owner's giant, kind heart and Generosity're just as surprising as his identity, though. He doesn't bother with pressing charges against her - instead, he winds up becoming one of her best and closest friends.

The Wild Ones never expected to end up in a time they don't know. Now that they're here a new Army seeks their help to purge FEAR from a world that doesn't belong to The Wild Ones. If they don't help everything will end without them knowing how they could just disappear with FEAR growing stronger in the first place. *Contains OCs from both "The Star of My Eye" and "RIDE OR DIE" *A separate story-line from "Risen"

Having grown up poorer than dirt and been in a band for nigh on a decade now, 25-Year-old Bobby Dall's no stranger to hard, back-breaking work. In fact, he's oft described as the slave-driver of that aforementioned band. After all, he's usually the one forced into dragging his band mates outta bed to get cracking, whether it's in the studio to record or out on the road for a tour. That being said, he's not expecting himself and his band matesta go to bed in their shared apartment after getting off the road from a tour, only to wake in what should be an Antique cabin. He's not expecting to realize that he, Bret, and Rikki've all Time Traveled over a Century in their sleep. And he's DEFINITELY not expecting to realize that they've turned up in the home of a young woman the entire nearby Town's scared shitless of. But as it turns out, young Marissa Stanton's not as bad as the townsfolk'd have them believe. She turns out to be every bit the Witch that the townsfolk say she is, but she uses her Power for good, not evil. And she's actually just the kinda girl Bobby's been looking for, in terms of a Romantic partner. Will the Love that eventually forms between the Witch and the bassist be enough to either keep him in the Past, on her homestead, with her or convince her to quite literally go back to the Future with him? Or will this be one Love that DOESN'T cross the fabric of Time, itself?
