(Formerly Imagine Me and You, just changed the title) An AU where the characters in The Darkest Minds (almost) all go to the same school. Ruby's first person narrative. I tried to incorporate some of the events in the original series into my stories, while giving them a twist to fit in this narrative. Also, this is everyday life, after all, so I'm not perfectly sure where this is all leading to. This fanfic will consist of short stories that would work in a chronological order, but wouldn't hurt if you come back to pick one or two chapters out and read them individually. My first fanfic that is made public. (Before this, I only write for my own amusement.) Hope you like it! Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction using characters from The Darkest Minds world, which is trademarked by Alexandra Bracken. The fanfic is rated Mature for (a small amount of) strong languages.

Alternate timeline to The Darkest Minds series. After being rescued from Leda Corp, Sheena found herself in another hellhole-The Children's League. Other than dealing with training, finding out the real identity of her rescuer, she also has some big secrets to keep-that she's a Purple, and she's feeding a monster inside her. +++ An alternate timeline to Nowhere Girl, though you don't need to read that story to enjoy this one. A special thanks to @Carstairs312, whose encouragements have been paramount to the birth of this work. I do not own the right to any of the characters except Sheena. Rated Mature for strong languages. CW: Major character death. Depictions of injuries.

A fix-it story for those of you who couldn't handle Cole's death in the original series. (like me) Having the rarest of all power--the ability to heal--Sheena was subjected to the mercy of the scientists in Leda Corp Research Center, until a mysterious man saved her. The problem is, will she be able to save him in return? +++ Setting in the universe of The Darkest Minds, this is a story about an original character's journey of learning how to be brave, with the helps from some friends (also original characters). Some of the book characters would show up mostly in later parts of the story (except for one, who showed up as soon as the first chapter), and the story itself is tightly knitted to the events in The Darkest Minds book series, so one do need to read them in order to enjoy this. Also, even though I tried my best to not contradict the canon, there are still some fundamental elements in this story that has to go against the grain. (i.e. Cole's death) You might notice that the chapter titles are all Beatles songs, but I actually didn't put them there as a playlist; in other words, you don't have to listen to the title song while reading the chapter. Anyway, hope you like it! Rate as Mature only for strong language CW: Depiction of Injuries
