In which Keefe writes a series of letters and Fitz waits for him to come back. And then he does, and everything gets a whole lot worse. Replacing the events of Stellarlune but carried on a similar track. This can be nothing but a keefitz fic

or,

"I'm going to leave you behind," Keefe should have said. "I meant to leave my heart behind, but sewing it to Sophie's sleeve left needles in my stomach instead of butterflies." / "I know you," Fitz will say when he sees him again. "So why does it feel like you've forgotten everything I ever was?"All Rights Reserved

Keeper of the Lost Cities: Forgetten by CresentMaiden

Betrayal after betrayal after betrayal. Three weeks since Keefe was seen by Sophie and her friends. Three weeks since Sophie's best friend turned his back on her. Three weeks since Sophie's heart was shattered. One day, a horrific incident happens and the Neverseen are to blame. But will Keefe be with them? Will he be his normal, fun loving self? Or someone completely different? Read this small fanfiction set between Shannon Messenger's Book 4 (Neverseen) and Book 5 (Lodestar). (This is my story set between Neverseen and Lodestar. I just imagined what the characters would do while they wait a year to get their next adventure and wrote it. Please don't steal it from me, it's not good enough to steal anyways.) *WARNING* TYPOS AND RUN ON PARAGRAPHS. READ AT OWN RISK. Cover by @ElvenNoir/SioCynder (tumblr)

*WRITTEN BEFORE STELLARLUNE CAME OUT. THESE ARE SIMPLY MY THEORIES FOR WHAT MIGHT'VE HAPPENED* Sophie Foster is breaking. She thought things were looking up, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Not with Keefe gone. Keefe Sencen is running. He has to protect everyone from his powers. He's hiding in the Forbidden Cities - in a place where he might even learn a bit about his past. The hearts of all of our beloved characters are shattering. Truths are being unfolded. But have you ever wondered what each character - even the more minor ones - has to say? Well that's what this fanfiction, "Project Stellarlune," is all about. Hope you enjoy! {{ was 1 in #keeperofthelostcities for a moment there, and 7 in #kotlc :D }} {{ thank you everybody for the 30k+ views :D }}

Misfit |KotLC AU| by wicnrc814

Sophie knew first hand what it felt like not being able to fit in. She lived with it for most of her life; since her parents died, and she skipped grades more than once, she was used to people looking at her weird. But it's the moment they don't when it gets to you. ********* Keeper of the Lost Cities AU in which Sophie's parents are dead, Fitz smiles too much, Dex is just...there, Keefe is an artist, Biana spends money everywhere, and somewhere in there is a story with a bad ending. Most chapters will be pretty short. Sorry 'bout that. ********* abandoned story, I'm sorry 🤡

Light It Up | ✔ | #2 by crayonowl

Keefe's departure took a toll on Sophie. She's been in a bad place, her life spiraling downhill. Deciding that she can't stay at Foxfire for the Elite levels because everything reminds her of him. But when she unrolls in a new school because of her troubles a few year later, she's shocked to find the last person she thought she would find there: Keefe. She ran because of him, and now he's here again, complicating things by a million. Is there anything really worth living for any more? ------------------------ This is a Keeper of the Lost Cities fanfiction, meaning that most characters belong to Shannon Messenger. This story is the second book in the Playing with Fire series. It can be read as a standalone, but some parts might make a lot less sense without context.

Just For You by Evelyn_Esher

Hi! This is a happier version of my earlier story, Back To You. And by happier, I mean it won't make you cry (hopefully). If you haven't read Back To You, it is not a big deal, you can read either one. Now, one to the story! ---- Sophie can't stand the heartache anymore. So she runs to the Forbidden Cities. Will the reason she left be the reason she goes back?

Head and Heart. (Sokeefe) by Phantom_Ink

This is a work of fanfiction, all credit and characters belong to Shannon Messenger. Placed after Stellarlune, for the sake of the story Elysian is gone, and most of Keefe's powers are fixed. NO Mature/Explicit scenes. Keefe's forehead was searing hot against Sophie's shoulder, she pressed it harder against her, hoping to brand the feeling there. "You don't always mess things up Keefe." Unable to resist the soft tendrils tickling her fingers, she slid her fingers up the nape of his neck and into his hair. The sound he made, could have only be described as a whimpered groan, his arms pulling Sophie impossibly close to him. "I want you." Keefe's voice was strangled. "I want you so much, Sophie. I want you to be mine, I want you to look for me whenever you go into a room- the same way I look for you. I want you to think of me as soon as you wake up, and right before you go to sleep- the way I think of you. I want you to-" Emotions choked out Keefe's voice, Sophie pulled away just enough for her eyes to find his, Keefe's breath coming out in harsh jagged rasps, his eyes burned into hers with sheer desperation. Tears sprung into Sophie's as she recognized just how much Keefe needed her- a desperation that consumed him from the inside out, a feeling that reflected her own. "I'm yours." Sophie promised.

He Left Me - KotLC fic (after Unlocked) by featherlightfirefly

This fanfic takes place after Unlocked, which ends (spoiler alert) with Keefe leaving. Sophie's heartbroken about him being gone, maybe forever, but the Neverseen is still a threat to her and her friends and family. After losing Keefe, Sophie's not here to play their games anymore. This is rated as mature because I'll occasionally reference something more graphic or use stronger language. (Sassy kinda-psycho Sophie?????) The cover is by soso_doodles on Tumblr--which you should totally check out, her art is awesome! All characters belong to Shannon Messenger.

Mrs Sophie Foster-Sencen (Sokeefe Tale of Two Times) - KOTLC by WakeUpEatKOTLCRepeat

Sophie and Keefe only now knew that they both liked each other, especially after the kiss, but this was definitely NOT was Sophie was expecting to wake up to. She's found herself in an unfamiliar room and bed and...wait...WAS THERE SOMEONE ELSE THERE WITH HER?! She turns to face a boy with infamous blonde hair and he was cuddling her. Keefe, she noticed. But something about him seems off...he's more mature and older looking... what was going on? Follow Sophie Foster and Keefe Sencen through this story to help them deal with the situation they are facing, but there's one little problem. If they were here in an older version of themselves... then who was in their younger and present bodies? How are they going to get back? Read more to find out! • This story has no set point in time, it just takes place after the kiss in Stellarlune! I wanted to make it happen after the book, but that's pretty inconvenient noting the cliffhanger we were left off at...so I just decided to do it at no specific point in time. Enjoy! • ♡ This is my first story on Wattpad, and yes it will be free of anything horrible for young readers. There will only be wholesome moments, nothing inappropriate! There is some cursing, however. Stay safe out there! Love you all! ♡ ☆ I'll update this more later if needed ☆

#13 in kotlc She only smiled up at him wading out deeper into the water. "I'm gonna go deeper than you," she teased. "In the water, or in our relationship?" He flirted back, taking after her. Sophie didn't think before she spoke. "Maybe both," she blurted, feeling her cheeks grow hot. Covering up her embarrassment although he could feel it anyway, she went deeper, only her toe tips touching the sand. [This book is PG-13 tho, I promise] --------------------------------------------- Matchmaker scrolls arrive just in time, and Sophie has the most difficult decision to make. Keefe and Fitz are two of her favorite guys around. Whatever she chooses, she is going to hurt at least one of them. ----------------------------------------------- Almost all of the characters belong to Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Please don't plagiarize. I have to say that this does include more Sokeefe than Sophitz. Thanks so much for reading:) For Summary: If you are reading this book on a website other than Wattpad you may be at risk of a malware attack.
