The Town Beyond the Woods

A happily never after upcoming interactive fiction.

When your grandfather dies, you return to the town of Briarmere for the first time in over twenty years. Nestled beyond ancient woods and hidden beneath layers of folklore, the town seems unchanged by time. The people are strange. The traditions stranger. And the house Arthur Whitlock leaves behind is filled with secrets he never intended to explain. As you settle into your inheritance, you’re forced to confront a question that followed you home: why did your grandfather spend a lifetime trying to keep you away?

In Briarmere, fairy tales are more than stories. The mayor bears the shadow of an Evil Queen. A huntsman keeps watch over the town. Wolves roam the woods. Princes charm crowds. Fairies whisper blessings. For generations, these stories have shaped the people who live here, guiding their destinies toward endings they never chose. Some embrace their roles. Others fight them. All are bound by them.

But when Aurora Briar—the town’s beloved Sleeping Beauty—is found brutally attacked in the woods on the day of Arthur’s funeral, Briarmere’s fragile balance begins to unravel. As ancient magic awakens and old stories threaten to repeat themselves, you’ll discover the truth Arthur died protecting. As the last heir to a forgotten line of Storykeepers, your choices will decide whether stories are preserved, rewritten… or destroyed forever.

I’m crying this episode gonna be so bad like Astruc let Chloe go😭

Hello, welcome to the Onryo Au!

This is my kinda rough synopsis and summary of the AU, both because the Masterpost is on hold till I either make a replacement banner, or Tech support gets back to me, and for @tmntaucompetition 2025

Questions, asks, art, reblogs are all welcome and wanted!

Unfinished Cover

Synopsis: The Onryo AU is a cannon-divergent 2012 AU set years after the shows finale. It is partly inspired by Rise, other turtles media, and something else which can't reveal know for fear of spoiling the plot.

Only a few weeks after the boys 20th mutation day, they found themselves facing a monstrous undead Shredder, beyond anything they've ever seen. Only sealed away after Raphael's sacrifice, the family has slowly fallen apart in the years that followed, in their inability to save Raphael, or even know if hes still alive. The main meat of the story happens when the turtles are around 25, and Raph has been gone for five years. With one brother lost, and the family falling apart, new and old foe rise from the shadows, threatening to tear them apart for good. The tomb is empty, the seal broken, and the mysterious masked Onryo, an unnatural and twisted being has been tearing through the ninja clans that were gifted the pieces of Shredders armor. And as it slaughters and burns temples to the ground, seemingly unstoppable, with every piece it gathers it grows in power.

The timeline is broken in different eras, explored and shown in the "Pictures on the wall series" shown above. The linked compilation post also has poems for each post that adds more depth to them.

The Eras can be found on tags on posts, to help place them on the timeline. Kinda buggy, so not everything tagged pops up. Try searching by tag name rather than hashtag

-What Was Before- Cannon, it's divergence, up to the 20th mutation day. If they look young or happy, it's probably in here. -How it Happened- The "Incident" -What Came After- Everything between previous to main story. -Not Without You- Our main story
