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.

A collection of all the tbob content I come up with that isn't enough to be a story of its own or isn't compatible with my main story, someone to trust. Such as one-shots, imagines, opinions/analyses, doodles, updates on other projects, shout outs and showcases of other creators, updates/facts/alternative or deleted scenes from 'someone to trust', original characters, etc.

A collection of oneshot fanfictions of the Books of Beginning trilogy by John Stephens.

Dr. Stanislaus Pym has made two critical errors. He failed in his efforts to kill the last Dire Magnus, and then he lost track of the Keepers of the Books of Beginning as they were shuffled from orphanage to orphanage. When the Dire Magnus learns of his enemy's latest misstep, he plans to use it - and the Wibberlys ignorance of magic - to his advantage. Meanwhile, Kate, Michael, and Emma are eking out a life for themselves in a small Baltimore apartment. Six months after aging out of the orphanage system and taking on legal guardianship of her brother and sister, Kate does all she can to protect and nurture her siblings. She wants to give them everything good in the world, but she's exhausting herself just to keep the cabinets stocked and a roof over their heads. When winter arrives, bringing with it a series of strange, hyper-realistic dreams, she is introduced to a green-eyed boy who offers her the help she desperately desires. It also brings Kate, Michael, and Emma face to face with their magical, dangerous destiny, and a choice that could change the world.

The town of Cambridge Falls is no stranger to the unnerving. For over a century, people have gone missing, and the townsfolk know who to blame. The Dire Magnus, they call him, a sorcerer who rules an enchanted forest, one that's a dark mirror of the woods surrounding their home. He snatches away residents without warning, and now his terrible shadow has fallen upon the Wibberlys. Kate, Michael, and Emma have had a hard life. When they were small, their parents left one day and never returned. Put in the care of their godfather, Gabriel, who moved them to his hometown, the trio has spent years relying only on each other, and their steadfast guardian, all while wondering what happened to their parents. Little do they know their troubles have just begun. After a late night escapade, Michael and Emma become the latest missing locals. The Dire Magnus has taken them to his realm, from which none have ever returned. But Kate and Gabriel will not accept that they are truly gone. Setting out on a rescue mission, the pair venture into the dark, magical domain the town has long feared. No matter what surprises await, they are determined to save their family. Even if, to do so, Kate will have to bargain with the Dire Magnus himself.
