Afton (draft 2020)

The Entity Fate isn't known for much, but she *is* known for loving heroic stories. To create heroes you need potential devastation. You need villains, and corruption and death and despair in order to have the hero triumph over all that in the end.

In other words, this is the tale of a family favored by Fate, cursed with the gift of an interesting life full of never-ending betrayals and occasional glimmers of hope. The story of ruination that followed each burdened member, crossing dimensions and spanning centuries.

For, you see, a hero of Fate cannot truly die without finishing the story.

~~Alternate Summary, can't decide which to use~~

Entities with power over the multiverse tend to meddle, especially those invested in humanity. The Dunnar family is a direct testament to this fact. Each member "given patronage" by a self-proclaimed deity, a puppet for the power's whims. Except, the Dunnar family aren't just puppets to be used. They think. They hope. They want. They fear.

Otherwise known as that story I've been sitting on posting for years.
Yes, I'm just a bit less of a coward when faced with a global pandemic.
Updates on Tuesdays, probably.
(And yes, I changed the date of the global crisis when our world was faced with a comparable one, since I don't want to jinx it and have this mess last for another five years thank you very much)

Will update warnings when someone complains. Please complain if you want me to update warnings.
