A chronicle spanning the teenaged years of four boys. Unexpected cracks in the ice are less terrifying than they appear, and security is not as tangible. The faded edges of memory and time soften the lines between what is good and what aches. [~45k words].

Brandon Flowers enlists a new dream team for his upcoming album which is to be called 'The Desired Effect'. He is left surprised and worried when 19 year old Poppy arrives in Las Vegas to help him produce the record. Will it go to plan or will it end in tears and heartbreak?

It all happened so fast. One second, Lorena Silvermann was jumping up and down at a Killers concert. Next, she was standing in an empty room next to the lead singer. Half a second before, the usual blinding lights shone in Brandon Flowers' face as he jumped up onto the speaker, microphone in hand, riling up the crowd. The next half second, he was standing in a dark, empty place, next to a random girl. Lorena and Brandon have been sent back ten years ago, and it's up to them to figure out who sent them there and how to get back. In the meantime, they must get to know each other; despite their differences, because they are the only two who have one important thing in common. They're both from the year 2014. I don't own The Killers, its occupants, and its occupants' music.

New York native, Maya Parker, is just trying to find her place in this world. After getting out of an abusive relationship of four years, she's learned to see the world in a new light.

"What's your last name, Brandon?" "Flowers." "You've got to be kidding me." [Brandon, Dave, Ronnie and Mark are in highschool, Brandon loves making flower crowns and dressing up. He's a soft soul, but he's bullied for being so different and cannot do anything about it because the school is corrupt. There's also a girl named Abby in his English class who secretly has a crush on him.]

A festive story about Brandon and his friend's sister. Totally made up for your enjoyment and mine.
