My name is Joann. I'm seventeen years old. I live in the Republic of Gilead as an econowife. I've been married for six months now, and I'm a little over five months pregnant.
Some say women like me are among the lucky ones. Maybe they're right. But each of us carries our own burdens-silent or spoken. This is mine.
*This story is based in the Novel Universe of The Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood. I don't not own the original source material. These characters are my own, I've stayed as close to the source material as possible but as this is a different story, set in a different district, some details will be changed*

crush // finished ✨
Hey. I am yn, 18 years old, the sister of Daniel Seavey, a raising pop star. Growing up being the sister of a famous pop star isn't always easy and I try my best to stay on the background as much as possible. 2 years ago I met my internet best friend Corbyn and during that time I fell in love with him.. or at least I had a huge crush on him. After 2 years the day arrives that I finally get to meet Corbyn Besson. But what if our first date didn't turn out how I expected it to be? The story is written in 1st person but just like every other basic imagine, the main character is called yn. [Btw Im terrible at writing intros lmao so don't judge the story on this]Complete
The Wife's Tale
In Gilead, for both men and women, there are only so many roles. Dictated by birth, by sex, by affiliation, barely by belief. Reagan was a new mother when Gilead took over, and everything in her world fell. Now she finds herself trying to navigate an entire new life. Can she survive the minefield that is this violent place, or will she be yet another soul 'saved' by the mercy of Gilead? Will the man who saves her, keep her contained and content? Or can she, like the few lucky ones, escape to Canada, and see if the love of her life is still alive? #1 #TheHandmaidsTale #5 #dystopian (The Handmaid's Tale fanfiction, based in that world but with original characters. Needless to say, there are VAST creative liberties taken in this, its just for fun. Slow burn with Smut and Trigger warnings. Ongoing with guaranteed weekly updates.)
Scarian one shots >:3
Just some scarian stuff I don't ship the real life people just the characters I have dyslexia so sorry for the spelling and punctuation and typos and all the other stuff :( I will write fluff and angst but I'm aroace so no smut as I feel uncomfortable writing it. I put trigger warnings at the start of chapters. I will also be writing a small amount of flower husbands/ flower ranchers possibly but most of this is going to be scarian :3 If I write anything that is against someone's boundaries then please inform me as I did not do it on purpose I promise. This counts for you the reader as well! If I forget to put a TW then please tell me :) Cover art is by samgatinho Its mature because of topics of SH and other heavy topicsComplete

Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.
