Alice is a girl with no parents. Yay, another tale of an orphan whose parents end up being magical beings or something, right?
Wrong.
Alice Spinster is an odd girl. A very odd one. But whatever. Seeing her parents get killed in front of her must have been so traumatic, so no one can really blame her for being a bit.. quirky, right?
Wrong.
Alice is mistakenly beamed up by an alien ship. Yay. Fun. Woo hoo. Now all she has to do is convince these people- er, aliens- to let her go back home, where she will meet her best friend who happens to be a guy and fall in love with him over some hot alien, right?
Wrong.
Alice starts to realize that being mistaken for a queen can have some... perks. Now all she has to do is blend in enough, ward off the perverted prince who seems to... want her (if you know what I mean), and figure out who that cute guy that broke into her room was, and why he keeps popping up. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Alice needs to figure out what's really going on, and not-die.
NOTE:
Will contain a bit of cussing and some innuendoes, but that's it.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
