After the death of his mother's boyfriend, Gavin Byrnes is sent to live with his father and his family in the upper class neighborhood - also respectfully known as the "town of riches." With the hope that he'll leave in five months on his eighteenth birthday, he makes the decision to keep his head down and avoid any emotional contact with the family.

But with a father who wants to "get to know him", a step-mother who doesn't know how to take a no for an answer, a talkative half-brother, a half-sister who gets in too much trouble, another who is a bit on the secretive side, and not to mention juggling his long-not-so-long distance relationship with his boyfriend, Gavin will find himself in situations where he will not only have no control, but also learn how it is to be part of a family.

Through Blood and Fire by TrashPanda137

Blair Evermore: a simple kid with a complicated life. With a brother that would do anything for her and two FBI agents for parents, she doesn't have the safest life. She was never the first to volunteer her parents for career day, and "bring your child to work" was a foreign concept. But she liked it that way. She didn't know any different. Blair was content with the way things were, because even though they were distant, she always knew her parents loved her. But all that changed on her nineth birthday. That's when she experienced the hardest year anyone could imagine. One month that felt like a lifetime. A week full of tears and sorrow. And one day that changed her life forever. October 27th, the day her parents died. Killed during a last-minute undercover job, Amanda and Bryan Evermore were prepared for the inevitable. That didn't make it any easier for their children though. Grayson and Blair's whole world turned upside down. Neither of them knew what to do, but they coped the best they could. Now, seven years later, Grayson is missing. Without any leads or witnesses, the FBI is having trouble finding him. That was until Blair got involved. With a letter from her parent's murderers, another from Grayson's potential kidnappers, and a whole lot of will power, she leads her new-found FBI buddies through riddles, secrets, and puzzles, gathering as much information as they can to get justice for her family. She knew exactly what she was going to do once they found the people who destroyed her all those years ago. She would make them pay. But sometimes what we plan doesn't always work out quite right. ************************* Started:1/1/2023 Finished: 9/26/2024 © 2023 Taylor Sassone Cover by my amazing sister @owlhootsburger13
