A Tale of Unfaithful Lovers

Talking about an old story I wrote when I was at school. One I never got round to finishing. The title says it all.

It was part of a trilogy I made that I had called The Lovers Trilogy. The stories were set in three seperate fandoms and timelines but the concept of lovers was the theme that kept them together. The first one I wrote was a story about a sapphic tale about a demon and a vampire. The second was about a woman seeking avengenging her boyfriend who went to prison for a crime that he didn't commit. The third part was the messiest, it was about a group of friends who had partners and they were all cheating on each other. I managed to finish the other two parts of the trilogy, but the unfaithful one was one I could not get to finish. I think it got too much for me and even I as thr writer lost trck of everything when I felt that it should be me that has complete control and overseing of everything.

I've written so much stuff over the years, that I think I would like to back and rewrite and create it and make things better. That's what I did with some of my old fan fics and used what I had written to give me ideas for original works. With the lovers trilogy, I don't think there is any of the final products left surfing on the internet. To be honest, I think thjat's a good thing. I can't bare to read some of the stuff I wrote when I was 14. When I was trying so hard to be edgy and stand out.

Though it was good stress relief. I read lots of stuff on the internet and it gave me ideas. I always admired the creativity and bravery to get their work out there and even explore topics they knew nothing about. I deleted these three stories years ago because I was ashamed of them, but now I'm left with the memories. I think the first two I eventually rewrote and recrafted, but never the third one. Even though the story is long gone, I remember what happened in the story and how far I got. I didn't really plan the story I just wrote it as I went along. I think that's one of the reasons why I never finished it.

It was a Beyblade fan fic. At the time I was reading some really impressive fan fics and it inspired me to write my own. There was a really good forum at the time I was active on, but I don't think it exists anymore. So in the story Tyson and Kai were together. Ray was married to Mariah, but also having a fling with Max. Hilary got pregnant, but she didn't know who the father was. Tyson and Max were doing bits on the side and also Ray and Kai were also having a passionate affair. At the same time, Max was engaged to Emily. So it wasn't just multiple love triangles, it was a whole love envelope.

And then there was a bit I was thinking to add, (but not sure if I actually wrote it in as it was never finished, and it was nearly 20 years ago) about Tyson's grandfather hearing all about it, and being unable to process it, is stuck between trashing the house or buying a pizza, then goes for the latter.

"Fuck this shit, I'm getting a pizza!"

Very chaotic at it's best. Out of character for all of them too because I would imagine that they would all be very faithful partners in the canon world. But as they say, once a cheater, always a cheater.

And it's weird how some things I've written about have become actual truth.
