It's November 5th, 2002, and Rena Hoo is applying for a job at Syntec as an accountant, though they're also hiring for test subjects. Rena/Hoo meets familiar and new characters, and yet she finds herself an instant enemy to Deborah. Hoo's story is destined to end on November 15th, 2002, but will she even make it that long? With Deb acting hostile and everything being flipped upside down, who can tell?
Keep an eye out for easter eggs! ;D
I wrote this story while the free tier on Spellbound+ is ending as a way for me to go out with some fireworks and confetti! :D I made it with no planning and one-day writing! :D:

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

Reflections of a Future Past
What if your past walked in before it could abandon you? Nineteen-year-old Rina has made peace with the ghosts in her life. Mostly. Her parents vanished when she was a baby. She grew up with questions, a therapist, and a mirror that flickers when no one's looking. Then two teenagers fall out of it. They're from 2023. They built a prototype. It went wrong. Now they're stuck in the future - in her apartment - and somehow, impossibly, they're her parents. Mira and Nico aren't ready to raise a child. Rina's not ready to face the people who never stayed. But time doesn't care about readiness. As reality bends and the mirror starts to flicker again, they're all faced with a question none of them know how to answer: Can you rewrite the future by understanding the past - or will knowing each other break them all over again?Complete
