"Travis was a soldier with heart. His love for his family, his country and his community is unquestioned. He never hesitated to put his life on the line for those he loved- and he loved many and deeply." So begins Travis Barrett's eulogy.
A true hero is a hero in everyday life.
This the story of a man with strong values and integrity and the people whose lives he affected.
- Beth, the abused child he befriended and protected, when he was still a child himself
- Mack, his buddy in the armed forces who would have died for him if necessary
- Colleen, the woman he worshiped, even after her death
- Jeanne, the woman he couldn't let himself love
Author's note: The structure of this story is unusual and experimental. It was inspired by the words of an atheist, who said that the only immortality we have is the remembrances we leave those who have known us. I don't agree with him, and certainly Travis, a minister's son, wouldn't. But it stirred ideas in my mind.
This is the first draft. I would appreciate comments and suggestions that would improve it.

The Heirloom of US - Character Series
This isn't the main plot. This is everything around it-the soft moments, the hard conversations, the healing that happens between chapters. These stories follow the ones shaped by the Sullivan legacy-the ones trying to carry it differently. It's about Malakai and Penelope, raising kids gently while healing from the past. It's about parenting without repeating what broke you. About slow mornings, gentle corrections, and trying again. - Malakai is steady, but haunted. His silence isn't cold-it's his choice not to pass down pain. - Penelope is learning that nurturing doesn't mean shrinking. She's holding her kids and her boundaries at once. - Damian is brilliant and dyslexic, trying to lead in a world that overlooks kids like him. - Noah is loud, proud, and secretly afraid of not being enough.

But real peace doesn't come from control. - The triplets, together, are chaos and care. Loud, loving, flawed, and growing.

HASRET [book 1- Oberoi brothers saga]
In a world where bonds are tested and hearts carry unspoken burdens, "Hasret - The Longing of Four Brothers" unravels the journey of four souls bound by blood, yet scattered by fate. The eldest, once the pillar of the family, walks away-misunderstood and wounded-leaving behind silence and unanswered questions. The second, barely an adult himself, steps into shoes too large, becoming the anchor, the protector, the silent warrior who keeps the family from falling apart even when he himself is breaking. The third, caught between loyalty and pain, becomes a rebel-not by choice, but by fear. He builds walls around his heart, believing detachment is the only way to survive. He yearns for his elder brother, but masks his longing behind anger and silence, terrified that love, once again, will leave him hollow. And the youngest-just seventeen-is a mirror of their chaos. Too young to understand, too old to ignore, he drowns in the storm of emotions he doesn't know how to name. Torn between the roles, he watches, listens, and waits-for healing, for clarity, for the day they'll all be whole again. At the heart of it all lies a silent Hasret-a deep, aching longing. A longing not just for the return of the elder brother, but for the return of something far greater: the lost warmth of their once-whole family. Though none speak it aloud, the ache binds them, shaping their choices, their silences, their love. This is a tale of brotherhood, of broken hearts and healing hands, of duty, loss, and the quiet hope that one day... home will feel like home again.Complete
No True Hero
What do you consider a hero? Someone who saves every life possible? Someone who always does what right? The protagonist of a story? Someone who would never take a life no matter the reason? My point is, no one can agree on the definition of a hero. What one person considers a hero may not be what you consider a hero. So I say there is no such thing as a "true" hero. A true hero would ideally fall under all these categories. But that's impossible. The story I intend to tell you is not a hero's story. Because I simply believe they can't exist. No. The story I intend to tell you is the story of people doing what they can for what they care about. Because that's the best you can get. I simply ask you lend me your ear and stick by me while I tell you this story. All you need is an open mind and some patience as this tale of gods, mortals and everything in between unfurls.
No More Heroes: Pacifist Run
Just to get this out of the way, this is NOT my story! It belongs to 313ctr1cLOv3. To see his stuff check out his work on Archive of Our Own. Travis has lost count of how many times he's been through this game, but what he does know is he's getting bored as hell from going through the motions. So he decides to try a self imposed challenge: Can he go through the entire thing without killing anyone? (i am sorry to say that this is on another hiatus while i focus on other projects-- at some point i will update, but all i'll ask is that you don't pester me for updates-- that really on discourages me from working on something that while a passion project, is also for free.)Complete
