Sixteen year old Ava is no stranger to the odd panic attack. She is used to family and friends being unable to resonate with her experiences, while simultaneously lessening her events and making her feel like she is 'crazy.' In a rural town, not many people are willing to acknowledge Ava, out of fear of decreasing their social status. Ava's parents announce that they are divorcing, leaving Ava feeling further isolated and like she is the 'adult' of the family.
Ava expresses how she and her mum have never seen eye to eye. However, when her dad was around, she felt like both parents were balanced out. Once Ava's dad moves out, Ava and her mum clash more than ever. This frustrates Ava and makes her feel isolated at home, as well as at school. She eventually stops attending school in an attempt to deal with what she is experiencing both internally and externally.
At her wits end, Ava's mum decides to invite a social worker into the household to 'deal' with Ava, who she believes is the problem. Things turn even further upside down when Ava is sent to a school for wayward girls.

The Space Between Heartbeats¹ | Mikaelson Brothers
Previously called Immortal Huntress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid should have died a thousand years ago. Instead, she was sealed away. Her body frozen in magic, her blood bound by forces no one dared to challenge. Born a witch, raised among werewolves, and entangled with the Mikaelson family long before they became legends, Astrid vanished from the world before history could remember her. Until she wakes up. Thrown into the modern world she no longer recognises, Astrid must navigate a reality ruled by vampires, fractured alliances, and names that once meant family. The Mikaelsons are no longer mortal men with loyalties still intact. They are Originals, shaped by centuries of betrayal, violence, and power. And Astrid's return threatens everything they have built. Her blood awakens something unprecedented. Magic still answers her call. The wolf still claws beneath her skin. And vampirism, old, altered and dangerous, binds her to the very monsters who once loved her. As old bonds resurface and new desires form, Astrid becomes the centre of rivalries, obsession, and choices that echo across centuries. Enemies want her destroyed. Allies want her controlled. And the Mikaelsons are forced to confront the one truth they buried alongside her. She was never meant to wake up unchanged. In a world that has moved on without her, Astrid must decide whether she will reclaim what was taken from her... or become something powerful enough to survive what comes next. Major Smut Warning!!!
