After five years of running from a crushing past experience, 24 year old Aaron Clarke returns to his home town of a dark and not too distant future London.
He is quickly thrust into an inevitable life of crime alongside his friends and family. A lot has changed: The Soho Syndicate has been born, a rag tag band of opportunists lead by his older brother Salem, who has succeeded leadership from their ruthless father, and taken it to new heights of organised crime and perverse vigalantism.
Aaron is thrown headlong into a world of violence, chaos and betrayal, and must fight to keep his sanity intact. As well as the lives of those around him and to keep his ever slipping grip on the life he knew before.
The events of the novel will charter Aaron's journey into the nightmarish underworld of a city tearing itself apart with gang violence, corruption and international espionage.

Agent Benjamin Ripley
This is my first fanfic- Ben is now 6 years a spy, and somehow competent. A legend around the school and the CIA, he's content with his life, but what happens when an old foe comes out of hiding and stirs up trouble? What about the new syndicate and who is the mysterious Cain? This story has Berica, Zike and old and new friends. I published this on Fanfiction.net but couldn't figure out how to add more chapters. Prepare to be kicked in the emotional balls. Warning: I've become the Uncle Rick of Spy School fanfiction, so prepare to be mad at me for the rest of your life. Thanks for reading! "It felt like I was watching someone else's life. It was like a movie. Pictures flashed around me, and I saw myself receiving an award from a man in a suit. I saw Alexander I saw myself running with Erica as a silo blew up behind us. I saw a scene where I was shaking hands with Zoe, Warren behind her. I saw Warren's betrayal. I saw the moment I realized Murray was the mole. I saw myself laughing, playing on the beach with Ashley and Nefarious. I saw me desperately trying to diffuse a bomb. I saw I saw many different things. Acts of love, hatred, betrayal. Then, I saw the deaths. I saw the death of Warren, as he took a bullet to the stomach. I saw the day I was shot too, Erica above me, screaming. I saw myself shooting Joshua Hallal in the head, and Erica crying over his body. I felt a surge of jealousy at the scene too. I saw Murray Hill's hand reach into his pocket, and take out the cyanide pill. I remember... everything."

Fallen Angel [Bellamy Blake]
Katherine Kane was born on the Ark, a space station that was home to the last surviving members of the human race. Being the trouble-making kid of Marcus Kane made her well known among the guards on the Ark, however being the kid who leaked classified information on the truth about her family caused her to be well known in Prison Station. Katherine was awaiting her 18th birthday to be executed for her crimes but was instead told that she and 99 other teenager prisoners were being sent to Earth for the first time in 97 years since the nuclear apocalypse. But how can a bunch of teenagers survive a radiation-soaked planet? [Season 1] *disclaimer* I don't own any character expect for Katherine Kane (a few other originals that'll pop up along the way). The plot belongs solely to the CW "the 100" writers and producers. It's based loosely on the book series but follows (for the most part) the plot of the CW show. Some plot scenes and Katherine's storyline are mine.Complete

Nocturne | ONC 2024
'There was a stain on the floor that used to be a vampire, and Aaron Evans was starting to feel like he really wasn't being paid enough.' ***** Aaron is only in Supernatural Investigations for the pay. It's stressful and dangerous, and he's certain it's aging him beyond his years. When the remains of a high-ranking vamp from London's most powerful underground gang show up on his turf, even the excellent pay seems like poor recompense for trying to prevent all-out war in his city. All he has to work with are his wits, some stolen evidence, and an enigmatic vampire investigator who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Nikolai Meier is surly, uncooperative, but frustratingly competent, so Aaron has no choice but to make it work. But Nikolai has secrets, and those secrets may prove just as deadly as failure. *** #ONC2024 Entry for Prompt 56: 'In a world where humans and magical creatures coexist, a detective must solve a murder case that threatens to plunge the two communities into war.'

The Ground | Bellamy Blake [1] [Rewritten]
REWRITTEN. 'We will fall, but we will get back up again.' --- It's been ninty-seven years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone one earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Fortunately, there were survivors at the time of the bombs. There is now only the Ark, one station forged from the many. They were told the Earth needed another hundred years to become survivable again and man could come home, back to the ground. On the Ark, every crime, no matter how small, is punishable by death-- unless you're under eighteen, which was in the favor of the seventeen year old Scarlett Griffin, who was locked up for committing an unforgivable crime. When she get sent to Earth with ninety-nine other criminals, she's finally able to see her sister and old friends once again. Along the many new faces she meets, one caught her eyes rather quickly and she could feel herself slowly fall for him. --- ! - Swearing, lots of sarcasm, blood and Bellamy Blake. The 100.
