When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.

Elena Steele has been taking summer internships at her father's real estate business since before she could remember. It turned into a serious interest of Elena's by the time she turned eight, and from then on, she had been learning and exploring every hidden secret and inner working of the small empire her father owned. That was until she learnt the truth about what her father had been building right under their noses. So, when a tarot card appears on her desk telling her to take an impromptu trip to Antwerp, Belgium, Elena couldn't possibly resist. While there, she finds herself rushed off her feet in business events full of millionaires and carefully planned plots to give back to those who deserve it the most. All while trying to understand why she always gravitated towards a certain highly guarded and perpetually grumpy actor turned illusionist. And, while she's at it, how to fix everything in the relationship she so recklessly broke with her ex best friend too. [Now You See Me: Now You Don't] [Bosco Leroy x Fem!OC] #1 in #nysm

In 2013, a team of undiscovered magicians sparked the modern world. Known as the Five Horsemen, the group executed a series of strategic heists, capturing the hearts of the struggling public and solidifying their legacies as the greatest illusionists of our time. But nine years after a failed stint--resulting in the imprisonment of their leader and friend--the Horsemen have disbanded, vanishing without a trace. *Almost.* Kate Sherman wants to live a normal life. At least, that's what everyone expects of her. Now that the Horsemen have gone their separate ways, the days of vigilantism and cat and mouse chases should be far behind her. But no matter how much time passes, she can never quite shake the feeling that a rouse is just around the corner ... or rather, tucked inside her back pocket in the shape of a familiar tarot card.

temperance (n.) ❝moderation in action, thought, or feeling❞ ❝strange,❞ the magician mumbled out loud. ❝why would my tarot card be the temperance.❞ she pondered over it and continued her research, waiting for the day that was printed on the back of said, tarot card.

SEQUEL TO "DEATH EMPRESS" It's been a year since anyone's heard of the infamous Horsemen's whereabouts after their great stunt pulled off in New York City. After showering their final audience with feign dollar bills and holographically jumping off of a rooftop, the Horsemen remained a mystery to the world--until now. When their comeback performance is interrupted by an anonymous individual who reveals all of the Horsemen's secrets, they have no choice but to flee. Sliding down a tube in New York City, they land all the way in Macau, China, captured by a spoiled technology prodigy who forces them to steal a data-mining device for his own gain. For Kate Sherman, it's been almost a year since she's seen the Horsemen after leaving for her own unknown reasons. As she agrees to join the Horsemen in one more scheme, she has to work alongside people she thought she would never see again, including a boy who she had once promised to never leave behind.

[THIS STORY WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2013. ALL CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN REEDITED AS OF 6/11/16] The five horsemen are consisted of five magicians who are desperate to get into the maybe or not so real secret society of magicians called "The Eye". Although in this fan written work, there is a different kind of magic going on. Something between Jack Wilder and Kate Sherman makes them inseparable, until everything takes a wrong turn.

Delusion. Tricks. Lies. Deception. The Horsemen prefer to call it magic. "and now I'm laughing through my tears, I'm crying through my fear, but baby, if I had to choose, the joke's on you" Jack Wilder x OC cover credits: -cleverlittleminx

Of course she has fears of her own, but most of the time she acts as if it's nonexistent. Cassiopeia revolves her life around keeping this picture perfect image of herself, the girl with perfect grades, perfect hair, and the perfect life. That's what's always been expected of her, which is why, since the fourth grade, she felt infatuated by Richie Tozier. He's everything she's told not to be, and isn't. It made her wonder how he could do it all so easily, up to the way he speaks, and down to the way he acts. Which is odd to her, because she felt she needs to despise him. But instead, she spent her days in class sneaking glances at him, and getting any chance to talk to him no matter how nervous she gets. Cassiopeia tries her very hardest to hide her crush from the glasses eyed boy. That isn't the case for Richie, though his crush on the girl only started in the sixth grade, he flirts with her at any chance he's get's. Which isn't much, due to their completely separate lives. Up until something dark, a shape shifter, comes upon to the town of Derry cursing the children who once had no care in the world. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ (extended summary inside) (strong language) (it 2017) (started: 10/28/17) (ended: 6/5/2020)
