It's been twelve years since the war against the Neverseen was won and Sophie's mind mysteriously broke, shocking the entire Elvin world, especially as they began to witness Fitz waste away as he tries to take care of her. They live together in a house on a secluded beach, lifelessly waiting for Biana and her father to find the one person who may be able to save Sophie: Project Flaredon, the sequel to Project Moonlark. There's only one problem: Project Flaredon's location has been unknown for almost fourteen years after the memory cache it was held in broke, and the only tangible evidence of it ever existing being heavily redacted files that don't even disclose the child's name, age, or gender.
Tirelessly, Biana has been searching for Project Flaredon for the past twelve years as she's worked to build her fashion empire, and she's finally had a breakthrough. In a world where it is as though time has stopped, how will Biana manage to raise a teenager with a rocky past, deal with an aggressively obsessive ex-boyfriend, continue to grow her business under the threat of the Neverseen's return, and find a way to save one of her best friends?
Sophie knew first hand what it felt like not being able to fit in. She lived with it for most of her life; since her parents died, and she skipped grades more than once, she was used to people looking at her weird.
But it's the moment they don't when it gets to you.

Keeper of the Lost Cities AU in which Sophie's parents are dead, Fitz smiles too much, Dex is just...there, Keefe is an artist, Biana spends money everywhere, and somewhere in there is a story with a bad ending.
Most chapters will be pretty short. Sorry 'bout that.

abandoned story, I'm sorry 🤡
