The dead have stayed, the living continued living. School, birthdays, Sunday night dinner at their grandparents' house. As they reintegrated with the nonmagical world, normalcy was the Wibberly siblings' only option, in fact, any sane person would want it after the war. But normalcy has never wanted the Wibberlys.

For the past two years, ever since Robert Lloyd was defeated and Lili unlocked the true depths of herself, things have been good for the Wibberlys. They have been protecting the world and watching the youngest among them grow up. But for this family, peace will never last. When seventeen year old Lili Wibberly accidentally activates mysterious magic, she and her girlfriend, Eternity, find themselves falling through a mirror and into an alternate universe that has experienced events very differently then their world has. In this universe, The Dire Magnus lives and controls the world, and so many people the girls love in their universe are long dead. As they navigate this terrible reality, they meet the deadly and powerful young rebel called Sierra, who seeks vengeance and will kill to get it. Strange Sierra is connected to the magic that brought the pair here, and their only hope and getting home. But when things go wrong and worlds collide, Lili and Eternity must gather their family and fight to save everything they love. And Sierra is on a mission of her own, one to kill the Dire Magnus. The question is, why is she so determined to complete this mission, and just how is she connected to the Wibberlys?

They began giggling, Emma saying how a murderer seeing Michael simply wouldn't be able to help himself, he'd just have to murder him, he might even murder him twice, and Michael replying how there was probably a whole bunch of murderers waiting for Emma to get off the train and how they'd have a lottery to see who got to do it. ... Kate just let them go. - John Stephens. A continuation of the original TBOB incorrect quote book, Wibberly, because I insist on making so many of these. Enjoy.

Someone made the horrible choice to bring technology and social media to the magical world, and now everyone has to deal with the consequences. Thanks to progress, and some handy tutorials from the Wibberlys, Wilamena has discovered the joy of aesthetics, Michael just wants to promote his book club, Emma finds starting internet fights almost as fun as starting real fights, Rafe has a disturbing search history, Jake and Abby spam the family with memes, Lili and Eternity are head over heels for each other. And Gabriel and Kate? They're just trying to deal with all of their loved ones insanity without losing what little sleep they're able to get. (TBOB crack/social media fic)

A new world rises, born from the combined books of beginning, wielded by the magician who had sought after them for millennia. Finally, the Dire Magnus has infinite power in the palm of his hand, the power to to build himself a throne and make the universe kneel at his feet. For those who stand against him and fear his rule, it's a desperate rush to flee from his control, and to search for the hope that seems to be lost forever. Kate Wibberly stands by the Dire Magnus's side. She managed to free her siblings from his claws, but she herself remains in the belly of the beast, trying to gather information and find a way to fix this for everyone while avoiding the suspicions of her enemies. She's balancing on a tightrope with no safety net beneath her. And yet, even while walking this line, allies and magic are still within reach. As the Dire Magnus expands his rule, Kate builds her own coalition, determined to make things right and protect her family, at any cost. This new world is not like the old. The clear divides of good and evil have been blurred, and no longer can anyone win anything by sticking to their morals. This is an age of dark magic, of plots and death, lies and tragic motives, and children who double as the monsters under the bed. For those who have always been careless, it's a playground, for those who live by a noble code, a nightmare. And for Kate, known for her kindness but also her ruthless fighting for those she loves, it's something entirely else. She plays her game well, but eventually, she will have to pick a side. Will she fight alongside the resistance and her family? Or will she accept the crown that her enemy - who is also Rafe, the boy she loves - offers her, and become the queen of his universe? All she knows is once again she has to carry the weight of the world, and whatever choices she makes, there will be sacrifices to go along with them. The clock is ticking, and when it stops, one way or another, Kate's heart will break yet again.
