Afterunlocked Stories

"Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be." Maria DeSantis doesn't believe in fairy tales. She knows the truth. The world sucks, and that's that. All that baloney about magic, fairies, dragons, elves, a bunch of commercial crap to sell useless trinkets. At least, that's what she thought until a mysterious silent boy showed up in her backyard. With piercing blue eyes and a haunted look on his face. Her life will never be the same. After Unlocked, Original Character Au. Some characters and universe belong to Shannon Messanger, Original Characters belong to me. ~ 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻✧

Like the title says, this is a book full of KotLC stuff. All characters belong to Shannon Messenger. Book cover by @GillianCobbler

Sophie Foster may have lost Keefe Sencen forever. And she's realized the truth too late. Will she ever get the chance to tell him? When Sophie gets sent on a mission to the forbidden cities by the Black Swan, she's given a second chance. A second chance at a friendship, and possibly more. A chance to start a new. But when tragedy strikes, what does it mean for the two who have been place in a position of more than they feel they can handle? A position where a single decision could change the course of their lives forever, and so little time to decide. What happens when everything is seemingly ripped away from them, when they were so close to getting it back? In this nail biting fan-made ninth addition to The Keeper Of The Lost Cities, prepare for all of this and more. This is truly a tale of heartache, bravery, and so much more. A tale of fear, and overcoming. A tale of complications and difficult decisions. You won't be disappointed. -Rankings- •#4 - afterunlocked (All characters belong to Shannon Messenger. I do not take credit for any part of this world, except for what I add to it in this story. Shanon is truly amazing and I love her so much. I'm a little disappointed that book nine had to be pushed back until next year, but she had a baby and she needs time for him and I'm so happy for her. I don't mind waiting. This is just a way to cure my boredom until I can read book nine. I'm also listening to some pretty sad music while writing this so if it gets a little depressing at some points, blame it on that. :) Ok that's all I have to say about this so, please enjoy <3)

This is an idea of what would have happened after unlocked. This has a plot and I am continuing a lot of clues and ideas from Shannon Messenger, so if you're looking for pure fluff, I'm afraid you may have to pass this story. The cover does not belong to me. It is the actual Stellarlune book cover by Jason Chan.

This is my version of what might happen after unlocked in kotlc book 9. This is my first fanfiction, I hope you like it! Most of the characters are Shannon Messenger's.

2/14/22: #1 in sokeefe!! Love, Keefe. Love, Keefe. Love, Keefe. Sophie couldn't seem to get the words out of her head. ~~~~ "You never know how much you love someone until you lose them." (a sokeefe fanfiction ☺️) It's been weeks since Keefe left and what has Sophie accomplished? Absolutely nothing. She's been lying in her bed feeling sorry for herself, trying to make sense of the new and confusing emotions coursing through her. Then terrifying, life-changing information comes to light. Suddenly Sophie is swept up in a disastrous tangle of events, all while trying to fix her mistakes, find Keefe, and take down the Neverseen. But will she be able to do it? Or will her grief be too much to handle? Keefe has been hiding. He's been moving throughout the Forbidden Cities, staying out of sight, dodging police, and most of all, trying to control his new ability. But just when Keefe thinks he's left the Lost Cities behind for good, a mysterious stranger shows up, claiming to know everything about him and even promising him answers to his past. Will Keefe be able to trust the stranger? Or is it all another scheme plotted by the Neverseen? Highest Rankings: #1 in sokeefe!!! #1 in sophie!! #1 in keefe!!

This is a story that takes place right after unlocked... Actually since stellarlune is literally coming out in like a month, Shannon has posted three (or four) chapters in stellarlune! (THANK YOU SHANNON) Here is the link: https://simonandschusterpublishing.com/downloadables/stellarlune-exclusive.pdf Before you read this book, read those three chapters. Anyway, Happy Reading:)

ALL WORKS BELONG TO SHANNON MESSENGER AND THE KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES BOOK SERIES. THIS IS A FANFIC. barely world building just a ton of fluff and so much angst between Keefe and Sophie.

SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ UNLOCKED (BOOK 8.5) YET... DO NOT READ THIS AS IT CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS! Anyway, this is my version of book 9. This story is a continuation from Unlocked's BRUTAL ending. It's written only from Sophie's POV just like the first 8 books. Hope you enjoy :) Note: All characters belong to Shannon Messenger

**CONTAINS UNLOCKED SPOILERS **ON A SMALL HIATUS BECAUSE OF THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR Sophie Foster is ready to fight. With both forces, the Black Swan and the Neverseen, getting stronger, Sophie will have to overcome fear, heartbreak, doubt, and more to finally end the reign of terror the Neverseen has caused. Will Sophie finally be able to defeat them, or will the Neverseen take her home and everyone she loves away from her? Keefe Sencen is in hiding. Although it is torture to be away from his friends and Sophie, he doesn't want to risk harming anyone. The hate he feels for his mother is growing stronger and stronger each day. Will he face her and make her pay for everything she's taken away from him? Or will he lose control and hurt everyone he loves?

Beginning right after the latest Keepers book Unlocked, Sophie returns home to Find Grady suspiciously sad, but never in her mind could she have imagined why, finally she goes up stairs and reads Keefe's (heartbreaking) letter. Will she go after him or honor his wishes? Spoilers if you haven't read Unlocked. But if you're like me and aching to read the next book I hope this fanfic will help you with the wait. Enjoy! ~~~ She sat frozen, hardly allowing herself to breathe. Keefe was... gone? Shock paralyzed her whole body as her mind processed this thought. "No." Sophie muttered, sure she had to have gotten it wrong. This was all a misunderstanding right? Maybe she'd read it wrong... or maybe it was a joke. Yes. A joke, that's what it had to be. It had to be a joke. Cause this? Keefe leaving? Never seeing him again? If that were true... if this was real... She'd never survive the coming war. ~~~ He was so close. So close to hearing her voice. It was so simple. He could just call her name and she'd be right there. All he had to do was say her name. "Keefe!" She called frantically, racing towards him. "What is it?" Keefe asked, waiting too see what in the world could make her look so startled. "A girl dropped out of the sky!" ~~~ Ask before you copy any original characters, scenes etc. ~~ Discontinued ~~

This is my version of what happens after Keeper of the Lost Cities:Unlocked. Please vote and share this! (Disclamer: all characters belong to Shannon Messenger)

Emerald Pyren, an elf raised by the Neverseen, is now sent on a mission to bring the runaway Keefe Sencen to his mother. But Emmy has plans of her own, like saving her father, so she embarks on an adventure of ill-considered decisions. Which could lead to a tragedy sooner or later, especially if she listens to her heart and it leads to Keefe of all people.

In my opinion, Unlocked was way too short. The ending was so sad, so I decided to make up what happened afterwards. Sophie needs Keefe. The one she could count on. But he left. Because of her. She'll never survive the battles without him. She'll break without him. She doesn't need Fitz anymore - she needs him. (SOKEEFE IN HERE TOO!) Disclaimer: All characters belong to Shannon Messenger
