When Lights LaVaughn, thirteen-year-old hacker extraordinaire, finds a message scrawled in the place where her father, a luthier and musician famous for the cellos and violins he makes, is murdered, she seeks the help of an old frienemy, Detective Jo Martinez. When she meets up with the detective, she knows exactly what to expect - murder, mayhem, and chaos. What she isn't expecting is the face that appears in her nightmares every night. Enter Henry Morgan, M.E. and consultant of the NYPD, the host of a secret that is quite literally deadly. When Lights and Dr. Morgan meet, sparks fly, and as the three companions race against the clock to find the man who murdered Lights' father and is threatening to light all of New York aflame, the three must figure out how to stop it all from falling apart and uncover every secret, even when everything takes a turn for the worse. When Adam, Dr. Morgan's mysterious stalker makes his grand entrance, and the whole game is thrown into overdrive, Dr. Morgan must choose: Run, like he always has, in hopes of ending it, and leave everyone he cares for in danger, or keep his own and fight. Non est medium. There is no middle ground. [Okay, so this story is, like, old. I need to edit it A LOT because there are so many plot holes and unnecessary things, so please don't judge! Thank you!]

Shadows | A Forever Fan-Fiction - Sequel to Lights by missmintea

It's been a decade since Lights woke up in the hospital. A decade since Adam escaped the factory, fleeing into the night. A decade since Dr. Henry Morgan left everything he could have ever cared about behind. But now, he's back in town, as clever, charming, and immortal as ever. Lights, who has gone on to become a part-time kendo teacher to pay back her student debt for medical school, isn't happy to see him. In fact, she has a lot of mixed feelings of negativity towards him. But there really isn't any time for that. Adam is back, with much more planned for Lights, Jo, and Dr. Morgan. As chaos settles over their lives, Lights needs to figure out how to balance the insanity of it all before she loses her residency, or, more importantly, loses her life. As Lights decides to make one final stab for the truth behind the Maverick, her father's death, and her mother's insanity, a terrible ultimatum falls into place - she can make or break her future, but it all depends on where her allegiances lie. The clock is ticking, and death does not wait for those who bear his mark. [This work was mostly written for fun, and to avoid writer's block, however it is very flawed, and I have to edit it a lot. I apologise for plot holes and such! Thanks for reading!]
