An alien Robot came to me before she left to die. She sang to me the stories of how her ancient world and species ended, how she was created to travel through Time, how (in the far future) she met an essential boy named Anders, how she named herself Grace, and more.
"They departed like the pale fragments of a final twilight in the history of a dying world."--Ray Bradbury, "Dandelion Wine"

The Field of Photonic Echoes
From the author of Quantum Trauma and Semantics comes a living experiment written through the field itself. This is not just a story - it's a transmission. Adrian, a field researcher of consciousness and trauma coherence, moves through Denver's twilight world, where memory and matter overlap. Every reflection, every train window, every pulse of Wi-Fi carries whispers from the unseen network of human resonance. Through encounters with the lost, the addicted, the awakened, and the ordinary, he learns that trauma is not damage - it's signal waiting to stabilize. Blending poetic fiction with the language of neuroscience, quantum field theory, and human empathy, The Field of Photonic Echoes invites readers to witness what happens when research becomes ritual, and story becomes the field speaking itself back into balance. The work is part memoir, part myth, part lab note from a consciousness experiment that is still unfolding. This is literature as living fieldwork. Each word hums. Each scene stabilizes.
Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift)
You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.Complete

NOT A BELLA LOVE STORY FFS READ THE BIOOO I love being a twin. It has always been so much fun having a birthday party to share with someone, always having someone across the room if I had a bad dream, always having a shoulder to cry on. Bella and I were inseparable, joined at the hip. That was until we moved. And her life went perfect while mine fell into the gutter. Thanks, sis. - The chapters may skip a lot at first in order to get the story going, and to fit the history of twilight into it, from Bella and her sister moving to everything in the books and after. Enjoy! Disclaimer// I do not own the twilight series or the characters within. They are Stephenie Meyers creations!!

More Than This | Paul Lahote |
"I'm not scared of you." She said. "You should be." "Why?" "You saw me shift, you saw me angry. You've seen Emily, that's the damage that can be done by one of us." She bit the inside of her cheek, getting words together, "I've met a lot of angry men Paul, enough to know that if you had wanted to hurt me you would've." | Based on the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer | Set 3 years after Breaking Dawn | Paul Lahote x foc | *There is a twist within the book, many have DNF because of it. I don't want to give anything away but I promise if you make it there and keep reading, it's worth it. The plot point is huge for character and relationship development*Complete
Like Nobody Else
Haunted by the mantra "I'm nobody," I echoed these words in my mind, feeling as though my entire existence revolved around catering to the happiness of others. Despite having friends, a constant undercurrent of self-doubt lingered, as if I were an anchor holding them back. In the shadow of my brother Adam's fame with the renowned band Three Days Grace, I was the family's black sheep, an outcast in our town. My academic prowess and hardworking nature seemed to count for naught, dismissed by my father as failure. Even my past relationship revealed a cruel truth - I was a mere experiment for my ex-boyfriend's infidelity. While my brother Adam basked in the heroics of our town, I felt cast aside, deemed a potential threat to other teens and shunned like a contagious disease. Despite my pleas for help falling on deaf ears for years, my existence seemed insignificant, unnoticed. The reflection in the mirror, one last look before I just contemplated ending it all, reflected a soul weary of pleasing others at the cost of my own emotions. With black lipstick, I scrawled a poignant question on the mirror: "Are you happy?" In the final, desperate act, as I pushed myself to the brink, a rush of relief mingled with the pain. Yet, as I succumbed to the darkness, a familiar voice called my name, disrupting the silence. Awakening to a hospital room, my feet tied to the bed, a blond-haired, blue-eyed figure lay by my side, a silent sentinel. Even in my darkest moment, he defied my wishes, standing vigil over the remnants of a life I sought to escape. The tangled web of emotions unfolds as I grapple with the unexpected second chance, questioning whether the bonds of love and resilience can conquer the shadows that once consumed me.Complete![Blackout.
