Have you ever wanted to know the answer to something?

Been so interested in a topic that you stayed up well past your bedtime to research why something was the way it was, or if it was possible for it to ever be anything different? 

I have.

That's why I got started, the Remembrance. I was only supposed to be the Chronicle of our History, so everyone could have the same access to learning as Time Lords did. It wasn't supposed to just be for me, or them. It was for everyone. I guess that naivety  is what very quickly turned the wintry Elizabeth into the small and broken Eliza. The Remembrance of the Dead.

My love of learning and Archiving quickly got turned against me when people showed what they could all do with even the simplest of things. Teach someone to make fire? They'd burn down their neighbours and rule with a red hot fist, until someone else learned and fought back. War and carnage ensues.

But that's just it, isn't it? Knowledge is powerful, and it is always too tempting to misuse that power over someone lacking in it. 

This is the story of my brother and I, Lost in the Temptation of learning, where perhaps we went a little too deep for our own good. And one of us would say the price for the secrets to be kept.

Broken Eyes (Doctor Who Fanfiction) by DarkstarWW
26 parts Complete Mature
Amelia and Avalyn Pond were two Scottish girls who lived in an English village named Leadworth. when Amelia was seven and Avalyn was six, they met a strange man who called himself 'The Doctor', after his little blue box fell out of the sky, into their back garden. After saving them from a crack in their wall, The Doctor leaves with the promise of returning five minutes later, so when he returns later than expected, there's no wonder why they've changed. Despite everything, Amelia and Avalyn decide to travel the universe, through time and space, with The Doctor, in his TARDIS. As time goes by, The Doctor starts to notice that Avalyn's eyes catch the attention of everyone they meet, and it annoys him that he can't figure out why. But with cracks in the skin of the universe appearing, The Doctor can't seem to find the time to work it out. Perhaps the cracks can provide more answers than The Doctor was expecting to find, opening up new posibilities that he could only ever hope for. ○~@~○ "I like your eyes." She stated suddenly, causing The Doctor to pause in his actions. "My eyes?" He asked her, an amused grin on his face as he kneeled down to her hieght. "What about them?" Avalyn smiled shyly, her own eyes wide with a sense of wonder. "Everything." She told him simply, giggling when The Doctor pouted at the answer. "The way they contradict everything else about you." She decided to elaborate. "Sad and old and wise; full of impossible stories that hold millions of words. Cold with grief, while at the same time, warm with the kindness of a man that can do no wrong." Avalyn paused as The Doctor grinned wildly at her. "Oh, Pond..." He sighed; shaking his head slightly, patting her on the head. "See you both in five minutes." He promised, jumping into the blue police box as the sisters observed, holding hands. They smiled brightly as they heard The Doctor's fading cry of 'Geronimo!'. . . ○~@~○ [Based on season 5]
Echoes of Shadows by KatherineLvd
50 parts Complete Mature
Beneath the Shadows - Part 3 Some people say that marriage changes everything-that it tames a man, softens a woman, turns fire into quiet embers. But they didn't know us. Caleb and I had been through too much to let anything turn to ash. If anything, marriage made us stronger, sharper, more dangerous. We weren't just lovers. We were a team. A force of nature. Together, we rebuilt Caleb's empire piece by piece until it became something no one could touch. More powerful than ever. Untouchable. Unshakable. At least, that's what I thought. It had been nearly a year since Caleb slid that emerald ring onto my finger, a promise that felt like a declaration of war against the rest of the world. And even now, with everything we'd achieved, I still carried shadows inside me. The trauma of the past-the betrayal, the pain, Ben-had left scars I couldn't erase. But I'd learned to use them. To let those shadows make me stronger instead of weaker. If there was one thing Caleb taught me, it was how to survive in a world built on blood and lies. And I was thriving. The woman I used to be-the one who doubted herself, who let others decide her worth-was gone. In her place stood someone new. Someone who could stand next to Caleb and not just survive, but rule. But life has a funny way of testing you just when you think you've won. I didn't know it yet, but the peace we'd fought so hard to build was about to crack. And this time, the betrayal wouldn't come from the outside. This time, it was hiding in plain sight.

The Grean Household by uninstalledproxy402
61 parts Complete Mature
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

"Why Nora? Why did you leave?" He asked. "Why did you disappear with no goodbye or see you later, or even a note explaining everything or even a phone call from you once you got to where you left to?" I didn't answer right away. I didn't know how to explain this to him, and having his new friends around made it all the harder. I knew I had to think carefully about my answer, so I wouldn't give too much away. Just like some things were better left unsaid, there were also those things that could only be said at the right moment, so as not to ruin everything. I had to choose my words carefully and be sure to not get angry like he was trying to make me. I hate to admit it, but he still knew me better than I knew myself. And that meant that he knew that if he angered me enough, everything I was hiding would come spilling out. And that...that couldn't happen. Because if it did...If that did happen...well...He would regret his actions more than anything else he had ever done or could ever do, and it would also likely end our friendship...or what was left of it anyway. And that was the one thing I just couldn't let happen. Right before her 6th birthday, Nora was forced to move. When she was 12 she got her first phone. When she was 16, she moved back. But through it all, the hardest part, was definitely loosing her best friend. So when she gets the chance to get him back, of course she tried. But repairing their broken friendship is proving much harder than she thought it would be.
