familyissues historical nostalgic oldschool philisophical smalltowns spring tragicomedy vagabond war

Marcel Candelon drifts from village to village, carving out a living with odd jobs and returning home only sporadically to check on old friends and Christine Malherbe, the steadfast caretaker of his beloved niece, Jolene.

One visit changes everything. Ernest Ordinare, a mysterious Southerner from New Orleans, arrives in Alamore with his wife and chauffeur, declaring himself the town's new mayor and judge and promising a brighter future. Suspicion simmers, tension rises, and the townsfolk must learn to navigate his strange rule.

As chaos unfolds, Marcel's carefully maintained façade begins to crack, revealing a man bitter, haunted, and dangerously human. Alongside his lifelong friend Jacob Ross, he confronts fractured families, his own self-loathing, and a judge whose foreign ways ignite a series of conflicts with a rival town.

What begins as a simple visit becomes a storm of loyalty, betrayal, and survival where every choice carries a price.

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."

Pharos: The Awakening by NJFable

Have you ever wondered what is left out of our childhood bedtime stories? Could it really be the utopia that our narrator promised us? Or just another nightmare? Sixteen-year-old Nicholas Smith is about to face those questions. After the mysterious death of his uncle, a sinister woman shows up at his funeral with an ominous warning: His uncle's death wasn't an accident, and Nicholas is next. He pushes aside the strange encounter and heads off to spend the summer with his grandmother. But on the way there, he's attacked by a dark being, unleashing a power within himself he didn't know he had. Whisked away to another world, Nicholas slowly recognizes the beings, people, and settings as familiar-they are the embodiment of the very stories his uncle told him as a child. But there are others interested in his unique powers-for good or evil, Nicholas is unsure. And to make matters more complicated, he finds himself entangled in a love triangle between Astro, a young and talented soldier with whom he has a past, and Val, a beautiful young girl with secrets of her own. Thrust into a new world, new life, and with strange burgeoning powers he barely understands, Nicholas must fight for what is right and ultimately make the biggest sacrifice.

When twelve-year-old Oliver Ainsworth promised his life to Avery Hastings, she never believed him.

Haunted by their parents' gruesome murder and the overbearing debt they'd left behind, Avery and her sister both sell themselves into different trades to make their livings, to pay back the murderer before he comes for them too. As for Oliver? The war came for him just like it came for every other young boy in their village. Or so Avery thinks. Until her employment with a wealthy family in France forces their two worlds to collide once more and she learns there's far more to the boy she knew than she could have ever imagined. Bound by a contract neither of them ever signed, they must come together again after years apart, after being worlds away, after becoming different people. A contract which states that they are overdue for their own wedding. But, after a lengthy engagement, when Oliver gives Avery the chance to opt out... will she even want to?
