"Time is an interesting thing. How souls so eternally different can be bound to one another in the most unexpected of ways."
Sun Scale, Defender of Earth, Soldier-In-Training to His Majesty the Queen, feels as though he has lived a pretty average life so far. He has a loving family, the greatest friends in the world, and a true can-do attitude. What more could he possibly ask for?
Okay, so maybe the madman who cursed them a thousand years into the past deserves a good beating, but, hey, that's for another time right?
Another time indeed, for soon he will discover a terrible truth. For all of his power and influence, the darkness inside each of his teammates continues to grow and if it is not stopped, it might literally be the end of the world. And in order to stop it, he will have to journey through the past, right the moments that went wrong, and somehow save the universe.
But nothing is ever as it seems, danger and betrayal lurk around every corner...
...and time is not on his side.

Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete

Elliot is desperate to prove her wrong. His uselessness with technology might be the thing that fixes them.Complete
