Your prospects are limited when you don't exist, but Sang Sorenson has been getting by as a cashier in a grocery store after dropping out of high school. Most days, she's just glad to have some independence, but she's been drifting through her life for two years, too alone to realize she's lonely. Then, late one Sunday night someone comes through her line with more apple pie than one man should be able to eat. The next day, she finds herself helping a young girl with a ...delicate purchase that the girl's older brother and his friend can't handle. And after a close call at home, she seeks help at a diner that recently opened down the street. It's been over a year since the Blackbourne team shattered into three separate teams, and they've all been dealing with the aftermath of a broken family. Though the new Lee and Taylor teams have done well for themselves, things just aren't the same. Then Sean stops by a little mom-and-pop grocery store after a long shift and discovers their bakery section. Kota and Nate take Jess bra shopping, and the cutest girl they've ever seen intervenes when they are less than helpful. And Luke finally meets someone who values pancakes as much as he does...possibly more. And it's barely even Tuesday. ~oOo~ This is a reverse harem fanfic based on C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird series. Be warned, I don't do trigger warnings on individual chapters and this is a Ghost Bird story: there is physical and emotional abuse, implied and overt; there are nine men interested in one woman (#whychoose) and sometimes each other; and the language used is appropriate for mature readers only. Not my circus, not my monkeys. I don't own any of these characters, The Academy, or Charleston, SC. I'm not making any money off of this. Liberties were taken with the legal and medical professions, but I tried to be as accurate as possible.

Sang has always been a little bit different. She was made fun of for being a math-whiz in school up until she was kidnapped. Growing up in the crime world from a young age, she tried to do what she was told and keep her head down...but...that was easier said than done. Trouble seems to follow her like it's her middle name. Eventually things come to a head that puts her in the Academy's sights, but the struggles only keep piling up as she is shuffled around, wondering when or even if she will ever find somewhere she feels like is home. Disclaimer: All recognizable characters belong to CL Stone. Warnings: This story is 18+ Mature. It will have extreme and graphic violence, murder, swearing...all the fun stuff. I don't separate out mature scenes or warn where they are. If any of those warnings were not to your liking, or if any of these may trigger you--please choose wisely before reading. Note: Also, I do not speak any language fluently other than English. All translations are done by Google Translate, so I apologize. I know that it is rarely accurate, but I still like including them in the story. They make it look more foreign and exotic! Lastly, if you want to receive notifications about exclusive content--such as sneak peeks at the next chapter before it's posted, reasoning behind some of the decisions in the story, or even short glimpses into the guys' POVs, make sure to follow!

Since she was eight years old, Sang has been living with an abusive family that's hated her. When they move to South Carolina, she finally gets the courage to run away - but at what cost? Note: All primary characters portrayed are those of CL Stone, author of The Academy series. I'm receiving no financial gains from this, nor will any be sought. Some scene settings/dialogue can be found in her first novel, but the primary arc of the story is my own. Photo credit: "Dark Clouds Approaching" by Benson Kua/Flickr

Sang Sorenson is an academy graduate. She's currently on a mission to find out what happened to her biological mother and to achieve this, she has to live in the house with her step mother who abuses her just as much as she does in canon. You'd think Kota and the others would pull her out of there in a split second knowing she's academy and that she's being harmed. But, the thing is, she doesn't know them yet. Watch her meet the boys for the first time in an alternate universe where Sang is Academy, and they don't know that. They're still gonna keep it a secret. They're still gonna try and hide it from her. They're still gonna fall so deeply in love with her they're at risk of drowning. But can she still fall for these seven boys when there's already two she's head over heels for? And what will happen when the Toma team gets involved? Enjoy! 💗💗 Mature content. Read at own risk. DISCLAIMER: C.L. Stone owns The Academy series' The Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle. You most definitely should read her books because they're marvellous and deserve all the love in the world.
