A man estranged from the woman he loves is injured while rescuing her young daughter.  Bradley now finds himself trapped in a vivid dream-like interpretation of the world around him, as Amaranth struggles to save his life.

Influences on this story include fairy tales (especially Beauty & the Beast), the movie "While You Were Sleeping," the miniseries "Kingdom Hospital,"  the tales of Ivanhoe, Tristan & Isolde, the comic series Fables, the video Game "The Wolf Among Us," the tabletop roleplaying games Changeling: The Dreaming & Changeling: The Lost, and various personal experiences.

I would like to ask folks to vote if you like a chapter.  I would further ask for feedback so I can make the story better; I especially would ask for constructive criticisms if you don't feel the story warrants a vote.

Chapter 2: The Real World- This boy loves doing missions. Especially the dangerous kind. His partner begs to differ. She is more of the "I'd like to live my own life thank you" kind of girl.

She isn't the one to always complain about her love life, and most of the time she doesn't have to... but ever since that one day Travis tried to assure her that she was more important to him than his job, he nearly decided to skip work a couple times. Velly try's to show that she doesn't mind, but her boyfriend trying so hard to prove her wrong and work all of the sudden becoming even more difficult than it intends to, sometimes that little feeling tugging inside her begins to seem to be making the most since. Even when it means seeing family that you thought you'd never see again. Chapter 4: A Dreamers Mistake- After finally meeting up with her twin sister again, Velly couldn't have been happier. Though, she knew she was going to have a LOT of explaining to do afterwards. Along that, Amber is actually developing something for Oliver. But she doesn't quite understand it. For some reason though she is finding Oliver a wee bit suspicious. Just when she thought it was just Amber thinking too much into it, she over hears Oliver talking to someone... but who?

20 parts Complete Mature
A soft whistle blew by crystal dawn, mismatched by the broken harmonies who sought and fought their way home..Carrying the biggest secrets and horrors the multiverse cannot comprehend. Deities called and Wars were waged, broken souls and haunting wisps of memories. Treacherous Deals and Sinister Forces toil, the dead of negative nights as the one who corrupted the soil lay half awake in their bodily state. Mismatched Colours bring about new pleasures and cautions, wings of bubble beauty and transparent crystal jewels cast aside by those who took deal leaving only a shelled remain of a former god. Corrupted and one forgotten and formed to be forced upon different Fates and Destinies, they finally find a way home...But the troubles toil and coil as the ones who hunt at the table during the night tail the sly and coy couple. Home at last, they're wings and identity unbound. But the soil of time remain rotten and cruel over the once bound ones, new eyes watch and old faces foil. ------------------------------ I do not own the Fgod multiverse, that belongs to Harrish6 rightfully! I only input my own Idea's and situations into the Fgod multiverse. I also do not own any of the character's used in this rewrite unless I say otherwise. All the original characters and their designs go to their respective owners, go pay the creators of these wonderful characters some much missed appreciation and love! Warnings for this book - * Violence * Suicide * Swearing * Ships * Trauma * Fluff * Self-Harm (Also sorry about the Cover, I was lazy and took down the better pictures because it would half spoil the character design which is again, undergoing changes.) Started....? Ended...? (Nah dude, This ain't ending till I say it's ending.)
A Different Virus - Laura's Story by CrystalScherer

This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!) This story is copyright and built from my own imagination. This book was a special request from someone who helped me a lot. This viewpoint has less action than the original. The cover was made by @All_AboutAssymetry. A huge thanks to her! Copyright September 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
