Jonathan Crosby studied for years to become a ground-breaking investigative journalist, only to put his career on hold and move back home to the sleepy Willow Mills to care for his sick father. Now stuck in a monotonous cycle of tedious local journalism, Jonathan is called out to interview a tarot card reader for his latest article. But, when the mysterious old woman predicts disaster in his future, a disaster that rings true, Jonathan must uncover whether it was luck, the power of tarot, or whether the old woman is actually behind the horror.

The Weird Insights of a Scobberlotcher by Jimpatton1

Seeing the light? Sounds alright. Scales falling from the eyes and all that. A little visit from a revelation. But sometimes the light of a revelation doesn't live up to its advance billing. Sometimes it's not an epiphany at all. The bright burst of an unexpected truth. No, sometimes it's just depressing. Really depressing. And persistent. Especially when the light just keeps flashing on and off. A red light. In a really weird place. "At first I didn't know what to think or do that involved being rational. I did have two distinct, initial emotional reactions, though. First, I was glad I was alone. Second, this seemed a frightening confirmation that I actually had gone mad." This is the story of a man who makes a shocking discovery. He's been afflicted by a very modern disease with no known cure. Until a fortuneteller comes along and changes his mind. Literally. With a large, heavy object . Full of cigarette butts.

The Fool Card by BevanAtkinson

The Fool Card is the first in a series of mysteries linked to the tarot deck. In this first book, Xana Bard has chosen a quiet life--drinking tea, talking to her pets, reading, and conferring with the Pacific Ocean beyond her picture window. She calls the ocean Doctor P., and it's cheaper than her therapist and may be a little more helpful. She's happy enough, until the night Thorne Ardall, shot while chasing his boss's killer, crashes into her house. Using her tarot-trained intuition rather than her better judgment, Xana patches Thorne up and they agree to track down the murderer as a team. She's sure her mother will have a cow. Her friends will have a cow. Her shrink will have a cow. They can start a dairy farm for all she cares.

What will come of a... /sudden/ reunion? --- This takes just before Season Two and continues on through it. I will be changing up some small things like shortening time spans and things like that.
