    Ryosuke Yamamoto was falsely accused of assaulting a woman and has lost everyone dear to him. His older sister Kaede and younger sister Nagisa completely rejected him, and his father gave up on him. He became the target of slander at school, lost the trust of the student body president, and was looked upon with contempt by his classmates. After a year of such days, Ryosuke's false accusation is proven. The people who had kept Ryosuke distant until now sincerely apologized and begged for his forgiveness, but Ryosuke had no intention of forgiving them at all. ***This is a rewrite/fanfic for Soafp & Ryota's story. I only added to this story, rewrote it, and expanded on the small amount of content it has, please read the original as well***

    Halloween, 1997. Six college friends just want a low-key Halloween weekend - VHS horror marathons, their Halloween parties, and avoiding midterms. But when they find a strange flyer for a one-night only carnival, curiosity wins out over common sense. The fair isn't on any map. No one in town has ever seen it. And yet... by Halloween night, the Ferris wheel is glowing on the horizon, and old music is drifting through the cold autumn air. What begins as a night of rides and cheap thrills turns into something far darker. The games aren't fair, the prizes aren't prizes, and the smiling workers seem to know more about the friends than they should. Whispers of unexplained disappearances trace back to the 1930s. And as secrets unravel, the group realizes that not everyone came to Harrow's Fair by accident - and not everyone will leave. In a place where the line between attraction and nightmare blurs, survival may depend on trusting the very person you're afraid of.

    Winter has arrived. It has been nearly one year since the zombie hordes claimed the world. As the plague eats away at its victims' bodies, the Fox survivors search for a safe place to rebuild what they have lost. But a dangerous new threat has risen, hunting them from every direction. To survive, Cash, Clutch, and their small band of refugees must put their faith in a group of strangers and a new government with radical plans. It will take all of the Fox survivors' strength and courage to endure in this barren, hostile world. Even that might not be enough. Deadland Rising, the conclusion of the Deadland Saga, is a journey through Dante Alighieri's "Paradiso", the tale on the seven virtues, reimagined zombie apocalypse style! (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

What she hadn't realized is that there is an extremely large family willing to do anything to have her. --------------- The fleur family have always wanted a girl, for generations only boys were biologically taken into the family. It was deemed impossible by them to have a girl, through the mother's and aunts and grandmothers who married into the fleur family, none of them had been blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Of course they all loved there sons dearly, and all of the family had grown accustomed to wanting a baby sister, one to coddle and love with all their hearts, one to protect from the world and all the darkness that comes with it. So what happens when the whole fleur family goes out to eat at the local diner, and has little y/n as there waitress for the day. The ENTIRE family immediately grows an attachment to this frail girl,, and feel that if nobody else will love her, they will. They notice how she flinches when a loud noise occurs,or whinces whenever she bumps into a table. They want you in there family, they want you all to themselves to love, but how far will they go? I'm not good at descriptions, but give this story a try. I will try and update at least once a week.
