My name is Joann. I'm seventeen years old. I live in the Republic of Gilead as an econowife. I've been married for six months now, and I'm a little over five months pregnant. Some say women like me are among the lucky ones. Maybe they're right. But each of us carries our own burdens-silent or spoken. This is mine. *This story is based in the Novel Universe of The Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood. I don't not own the original source material. These characters are my own, I've stayed as close to the source material as possible but as this is a different story, set in a different district, some details will be changed*

in the midst of world war 1 there's our main character, a person that is trying to find meaning and understanding himself while protecting everyone he can from a painful danger which is some paranormal and scary creatures living unnoticed between humans. So will he be able to do it?

What does it mean to be a family? More so, what lengths do we go to for family? Sienna D'Angelo was a regular girl with an unusual upbringing. She always felt out of place in her lifestyle, though it wasn't until he mothers death where she found out who she truly was. She was brought into a world of violence and death at the hands of finding her father, whilst meeting a breathtaking Italian mobster who she just can't seem to stay away from.

2 years. 2 years ago, he left her. Now he's back, begging for a second chance. Layla Vassidia was an addict. Determined to help her start over, she was forced to move to Canada for her final year of high school. A fresh start, a new environment. Everything was supposed to change. But when Layla unexpectedly comes face to face with her first love, everything begins to unravel. Luke Angeles, the star of the school's hockey team. The boy who disappeared without a word. But beneath the charm, Luke is hiding something darker. Something dangerous. He says he left to protect her. But from what? Even as her new life starts to crack, even as the truth creeps in... Layla refuses to be the hopeless girl she once was.

Genevieve Aldridge has it all-money, looks, popularity, and the kind of rebellious charm that makes her the queen of the high school scene. Her life is perfect-or that's what they thought. She's bold, impulsive, and always chasing the next thrill. And when boredom hits, nothing's off-limits-not even a reckless little bet. Ethan Carter is everything she's not. Quiet. Brilliant. Mysterious. The kind of guy who keeps his head down, his grades high, and his heart locked up tight. While others are partying, he's planning his future-far away from high school drama and girls like Genevieve. So when she makes a bet to get the school's most untouchable nerd to fall for her, it's just another game... at first. But the more time she spends around Ethan-the more she sees beyond the books and sarcasm-the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins. He wasn't supposed to matter. She wasn't supposed to feel anything. And love? That was never part of the plan. But some games have unexpected endings, right? ⸻ Just a heads-up: English isn't my first language, so there might be a few small mistakes here and there. Still, I hope you enjoy the story-and feel free to let me know if anything sounds off!
