When Suzy ran away with Sam in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, she brought a suitcase full of books with her. Later, Wes Anderson released a short video with animated sequences of each book. He left us with a few tantalizing sentences and images from which to construct our own stories.
Here's what he gave us from The Francine Odysseys:
"His eyes downcast, his kingdom in ruins, Mynar pressed his heavy paw through the rippling surface of the cool shallows and down to its stone floor.
‘My people were once lead my a great and noble beast and I no longer see his face in this reflection.’
Meanwhile, on the plains of Tabitha, Francine rested. There would be another time for war."
Building on that, I'm writing the full story of The Francine Odysseys, in all its corny 1960s YA glory. If I know anything about Suzy as a character, it's that she has good taste in books. The books that she brought along with her on her adventure deserve to exist.

Ire of the Moon
The gods have always been such fickle beings. They carry with them unseen expectations and desires, yet they expect perfection from the mortals over which they rule. How would you manage, then, if a god were to set its sights on you and you alone? Could you run? Hide? Or would their fury be inevitable? How do you avoid the rage of something so mysterious and divine? Some say the gods have limits. That if you did not cross into the light of the moon, that she couldn't see you. Simply hide yourself away each night, and the moon would never find you. There was even a night, at least once a month, where the moon would be blind, and you could tread freely through the night. Of course, nothing is certain in the realm of the gods. Note: This story contains human gore and animal death through hunting. These sections are brief, but those who are sensitive to either should use discretion.Complete
After-Life of Harald the Severe
This story came up to me one day about four years before yesterday. I have to accept the real and mostly true events that did happen in Paris in the year 2018. The events happened a couple of months later I wrote this fantasy! The French President was shocked himself by the events described in my book! I am sorry, dear Mr. President about those events! What's the story about? About the long-forgotten man - the last Viking, Harald the Severe (Hardrada) A piece of the plot itself: "I've just woken up from the dead. I guess I've killed my wife and let her rest in peace. Before I sucked her dry, she was mumbling some crazy bullshit about my future, the world that needed me, and other creepy things. Let her get away! She had a peeve with me and my beaten head for the whole of my life! And now I've drunk her life and blood till the last drop. I hate them both! Why am I fucking alive?" "I can now see my future. I will follow the right path. But for me, it won't be a path. It will be a highway as I am the king!" "I don't want to have a total monopoly. I want to be free. Why can't I?" "I must make everyone believe me! And then I have to betray them all. There will be no road for me but a path. The miserable end awaits anyway! Let it be if that's God's will!"Complete
Lagios
Before reading the little description let me explain how the chapters are divided. there are 3 main types. Normal Chapter:Pretty self explained there these follow the main story Extra Chapters:Anything under this name are meant to be silly chapters and are not canon to the main storyline. these ones are meant solely for fun and being random just my messing around. Hidden Chapters:These are chapters that are canon to the main storyline they often explore a character's past or explain major events that happened in the past etc. Might just turn past events into their own separate whole book possibly. I hope any who read these stories get even a tiny bit of joy from them I am aware I am not perfect and not the best writer around and my stories are probably not much to run home about but I do get joy from writing them so I hope readers can get as much fun. This little storybook follows the stories of many different individuals. The story takes place in the land of Lagios which is filled with many different people and creatures. The protagonist of the story constantly changes and events are seen from different points of view as each character tries to solve a different problem on a different part of the continent. While each chapter is separate and most of the characters are doing their own thing pieces of the story do connect together and ultimately the thing that draws the cast together is unknowingly they are all fighting against the same major threat! Which has been unleashed on the continent by Aries.Complete

Any events from True Blood that I do keep will happen out of order to appease my story line. All True Blood characters and scenes that I keep from the books/show belong to Charlaine Harris and Alan Ball. The OC and any other characters I may create along the way belong to me. This might end up reverse harem. I'm not sure how my story will write itself quite yet. Suffice to say I have the hots for more than one character with Eric being number 1 so we'll see!

Rejecting the Alpha
I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?" Parker growled grabbing my chin and forcing me to look at him. Without even thinking I said the first thing that came to my head but meant every word. "I, Jasmine Davis, reject you Alpha Parker Mason, as my mate." * Jasmine Davis is the daughter of the Beta of the Moonlit Waters Pack.

He saw her that day, the first day she started working for his sick aunt. She was bubbly, vivacious, slightly crazy and stunningly beautiful. She made his aunt laugh and smile, like she hadn't done in years. She saw him that day too. She smiled and waved at him as though pleased to see him. He did nothing.

He could see out though. For the next six months before his aunt died, he watched her every day. At the funeral he couldn't take his eyes off her sombre figure. At the reading of the will, he scowled outwardly that she was given the gatehouse. Inwardly he smiled the brightest smile knowing she would have to work for him to actually attain it. She had intrigued him from that first smile, he wanted to know this enigma of a woman. Even though he would take her life, he wanted to know her. Honey Combes was there for Rosie Jackson's funeral.

THE CURSE - A Whispering Fiend
"How is it possible? A feral beast, dangerous than mine, lived under her skin. Her eyes- they were hollow and bleeding, yet she didn't scream her pain. The job was to never fall in love with her but to kill her." ~ Ocean "He is a pillar, something solid to lean against. Fierce, violent and unmoving, ready to fight for me when everybody I loved left me in the darkness. He told me not to apologize for the madness I possess, because it made me a warrior." ~Devi He loved her and she loved him but it wasn't that simple. The world didn't approve of their union even when the fates sew their souls together. She was a princess turned into the bringer of death and he was a prince protecting the world from her. She was the woman who regrets her birth, and he was the man born for her. [UPDATING SCHEDULE- Thursdays.]
