At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete

Moonlight - Autumn's POV
Female OC Autumn Faith Brown has healing powers, and is usually withdrawn to avoid feeling physical and emotional pain from other people. However when she meets Wednesday, certain feelings spark, and the pair grow closer. This is Autumn's POV, see my other book for Wednesday's, although I recommend reading Wednesday's POV first. - mentions of Sh - no smut however I will be writing a seperate one shot story that includes smut Notes: - I obviously do not own the Wednesday series, nor anything related to the Addams family, I only own the OC, Autumn Faith Brown. - If you don't like the writing style, the oc (since it is a wednesday x female oc story), or how I write/describe characters to be, please feel free to leave my page. I will accept constructive criticism but not undeserving hate (eg: don't complain about wednesday and her opinions of xavier because this isn't a wednesday x xavier story). Please keep this in mind and be nice, and if you don't like it find another story or write your own :) - I have not edited this, and any spelling errors, grammatical errors, or if you think there are better ways to word things please let me know I am open to advice! - The front cover does not belong to meComplete
