WineCeption
Her suite left little to be ashamed of as she danced around freely in her living room. ‘All that she wants is another baby…’ blared through her Bose speakers at a volume so high the nightwalkers could not help but look up and smirk. Everyone loves a good 90’s tune at 10:30 at night. The song fades and she lets out a sigh of boredom. A glance around the living room searching for another distraction, she heads towards her phone – a new app, Wineception, was told to her by her coworkers. “OMG! I am addicted to this app, Sam; you got to try it. I went to a vineyard sponsored by this amazing up and coming,” with less than a second thought Sam proceeded to download the app and place her phone back in her bag. Days went by, and the app was the farthest thing from her mind until tonight. I guess tonight is as good as any to test the app out. It was new on the market, and it offered subscribers a particular experience. The icon was a black background, a wine glass, and a smirking face stuck inside. The interface was simple and easy to navigate all the settings, bios, and uploads were position in a click bate fashion.

A Fractured Paradise
The scent of thick iron carried upon a warm breeze. Swords clanged, muffling the cries of battle. Get back. Caeli sent five assailants back while her sword connected with the throat of the enemy beside her. Her comrades subdued those she blocked while she joined her general’s side. Though his helmet shielded his face, she knew he was smiling. Like him, this is what she lived for.

The space station was a cold, drifting piece in the expanse of the stars. Renee observed the monitors that measured the outside elements and anything of note—though watching became a tedium after 141 days of the same slow-moving realm stretching out to infinity. As a former civilian, she had been trained on a mostly need-to-know basis; the different space missions that had erupted after the third world war had no lack of volunteers and field experts alike, but the lottery system at her tech company had been on her side in the end.

The Wrath of Aebruzean
Chapter 3 Arrival to Armathain Castle Syn laid the box of treasured images on the night table beside his bed and hurried out the door. His stomach began to growl as he caught the faint aroma of the warm lunch that was waiting for him. As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he looked to the ceiling once again. No movement, only silence. He looked upon the face of the painting, he smiled. He was loved, and always had been. The light rattle of fine china startled him out of his thoughts. He smiled as he watched as a new face emerged. Another woman appeared from the kitchen pushing a cart, covered in goodies and a large silver dome. "Hello Sir, I began to wonder if I should send Mary to fetch you for lunch, You cannot go without eating Sir, it is my job to take care of you, I take my duties very seriously you know" She stated in a very thick English accent, the kind of accent from the city, not the refined accent you always hear on television and commercials, but the rough and gritty accent that comes with hard work and honesty.
Wrath of Aebruzean
Chapter 2 Dreams of a love lost Syn licked his lips savoring the taste once again as it faded away. He exhaled with a sigh as the precious scent left his senses. Once again a rather large pothole jarred him out of his fog. He looked out his window to see the most grand gothic mansion he had ever laid eyes upon. A large stone wall seperated the now slowing car and the mansion's grounds. Large iron gates slowly opened, Syn noticed the gate keeps were dressed the same as the gypsies he had encountered earlier.
The mind of Squibb boy Chapter 2
Juice dozed off for a few seconds falling back into his dream. Hiding under the sink, his 5 y/o self was eventually found by a crying mother. "Why did you hide?" Nicky, Juice's eldest brother asked quizzically. "All the people and noise is scary." Juice responded meekly. Nicky grabbed his hand. "Don't worry, as long as you got me around you're safe." Juice's mind envisioned Squibb boy hiding away from an evil villain, and his hero saving him.

Cask Crusade
Cask Crusade Part One In a small southern hamlet bordering that great old wood, with trees who uproot and reclaim any newly trodden paths, a tavern sat upon the highest hill watching over its neighbours. As unremarkable as the village was in most regards, this one establishment had earned the respect of oath-sworn warriors and profiteering traders alike for the quality of its in-house ale, which was inferior to the Dynasties’ fine vintages but surpassed all expectations of a landlord’s craft. Through a near nationwide desire for this refreshing brew and a need to escape the crashing rain on this particular day, the alehouse was full and remained that way until the closing bell rang. Two bands of contrary individuals chose to ignore the bell that night in favour of further drinking. The first was a sorrowful pairing who drank to forget, and the other was a revelrous bunch who drank to remember. The regretful duo sat in solemn silence, the oldest between them was a great champion sworn to a local self-entitled regent. Accompanying him was his young apprentice, who only shared a fraction of her commander’s regret. He drank his fill more than an hour before the bell sounded but insisted on finishing the pint he had to hand. The younger soldier, however, had barely imbibed that night and still kept a clear head about her.

If you like the "found family" trope
...and have stopped reading the Percy Jackson series’ because for a horrible period of time you, *gasp*, stopped reading because of school, life, family, etc. Whatever the reason, you’re in good company because I am also a fan of the “Found Family” trope. If you’re not familiar with the “found family” trope, it is where the protagonist(s) of a story break away from their home life (whether good or bad) and come to form a family and network of friends and mentors we see throughout the story. I could, of course, pick the Percy Jackson series back up considering there really is no age limit on books. But, now there are so many I feel overwhelmed.
