Z's Fics - Written Works

I figured it’d be less cluttered to have a separate blog from my main and my art blog dedicated solely for my writings. Most of what I will post here will be original works and ideas; I usually post those on Wattpad but they’ve recently teamed up with Paramount and you all know the rest. Saw a place called Royal Road I might move my stories to.

After striking her head after a fall down the stairs, GGG is plagued with nightmares. In them, she sees the future of herself and her infant daughter HHH presented in the format of novels. In those novels first she, and then her daughter, are presented as villainous women.

In the first novel, GGG was a woman who stood between a pair of destined lovers - those lovers are her husband and a woman she has never met, but has a grudge against GGG’s family. In the second, her daughter will grow up and constantly attack and harass her half-sister.

If these novels revealed in her nightmares are true, her husband has a long-term mistress and a second family, proving he has never been faithful in the entire time of their relationship before and after their wedding. If they are true, in the first ‘novel’, GGG will apparently lose her mind and attack her husband’s mistress repeatedly to protect her marriage. In the end, she will be killed for it. Not only does GGG die, but her family’s business is forced into bankruptcy and her parents die as well, leaving HHH with no one to protect her from a family that does not care for her…leading her to apparently grow up into a bitter and jealous young woman with a twisted mind and black heart.

At first GGG thinks they are just nightmares. Until, in her attempt to prove they are, she finds her husband and his second family…

LLL was an unwanted wife who died broken and alone in a prison cell for a crime she never committed, used instead as a scapegoat for her husband’s mistress—er beloved true love. She died blinded, disfigured, and hemorrhaging from a beating induced miscarriage on the orders of her husband. Dying full of regrets and hatred, she was surprised to wake up as a college freshman. Her parents are still alive and the family business still thriving.

And best of all, LLL has yet to save the life of her future husband from would-be assassins.

And she has no intentions to. Before, she had believed him a good and righteous man who was being unfairly targeted by his half-brother. Now, she intends to let nature take its course - if he dies, he dies. Who knows, maybe his darling ‘true love’ will actually save him this time, instead of LLL. She doubts it, given the lying bitch wasn’t even in the same state, much less city, when everything happened.

Oh well.

Not LLL’s problem. [tea-morticia-addams.gif]

She still wants to get to know his grandfather. Out of her in-laws, he was the best to her, and he became quite fond of her, often commenting ASS wasn’t good enough and she’d have been a better match for his half-brother or cousin…both of whom ended up murdered not long after she saved ASS.

JJJ had loved JERK since she met him on the first day of college despite their vast differences: she had been a bubbly, sheltered rich girl with average grades and looks, while he had been a handsome top of the grade scholarship student with a cold personality. In her family, their love language was giving gifts, taking care of each other, and displays of physical affection.

So that’s what she did for JERK. She showered him in gifts, the things his scholarship didn’t cover as well as things she thought he would like. She learned to cook and bake, bringing him homemade treats. She gave him hugs and words of encouragement when she thought he might be feeling down. She didn’t just love his handsome face and form, she admired his brilliance and dedication.

Because JERK would change the world for the better, JJJ just knew it! So she would support him and help him! If they became friends that would be great. If they fell in love, even better!

That was how the naïve girl felt, anyway. She wanted to stand by his side as a friend and supporter and maybe earn his love if she was so lucky.

He however, despised her, that stupid rich girl who flaunted her wealth in his face. She had more money than brains or looks.

Wanting to be helpful, wanting to support the guy she was infatuated with, she didn’t know she was emasculating him. Things escalate when JJJ is framed by JERK’s girlfriend, HOE, for attempted murder; she’s easily cleared by CCTV footage, but JERK is convinced she used her wealth to buy her freedom by having the footage edited.

Devastated by his accusations and cruel behavior even when cleared, JJJ completely drifts away from JERK, unaware he had decided to go on a crusade of revenge. Not until he destroyed her family and their businesses a few years later, that is.

Her father and older brother are framed for insider trading and embezzling millions of dollars in shady deals despite being honest businessmen. Her mother dies in an apparent drunk driving accident despite never drinking due to health reasons. And JJJ finds herself on the streets, as all her previous friends seem afraid of helping her and she seems blackballed in her attempts to find a job; every job she does get, she loses in days. On top of that, she’s dodging creepy guys following her...until one day they corner her. They accidentally let slip who their employer is - JERK.

Realizing these men are sent to rape and humiliate her by filming it and releasing it online on porn sites, she manages to escape - but dies being struck by their get away driver.

Dead, her soul floats and she comes across a book. A book in which she and her family as portrayed as twisted cardboard caricatures of themselves, secondary villains in a Cartel-themed dark romance novel staring JERK and his girlfriend.

And then...she’s alive again. She’s woken up from an appendectomy, which happened in the summer before the start of Junior Year, when JERK’s future girlfriend transfers in and they fall in love. It's also the year JJJ is framed for trying to push HOE into the pool in an attempt to drown her.

This Year was also when she slowly started to give up on the idea of ever earning JERK’s love, much less friendship. JJJ decides to break away from JERK early, avoid him and HOE and live her best life on the vast college campus. Hopefully by doing this, she can avoid the dominoes that destroyed her first life...because she’s not some uber-smart femme fatale capable of outwitting either of them with grand schemes of revenge, even with her being on her second life. And with how badly misportrayed her family was in that ‘novel’, how could she rely on what she had learned from it?

The best she can do is try to help her family and those she cares for; who knew saving the life of a depressed fellow Junior would change everything?

JJJ - Robyn Woodrow -

JERK - Calvin Webb -

HOE - Francesca Sandoval - A beautiful Latina in her early-twenties, she enters college mid-way through, and presents herself as working her way through college. Her business? Its a family business…known as drugs and trafficking. And colleges are good for both…and recruiting promising talents, like Calvin Webb.

Transmigration - When one soul takes over the body of another, generally on the death of one or both parties.

GGG is an outcast, even in magical societies - she is a necromancer, which is considered one of the darkest and most forbidden arts. Even though she never harmed anyone and preferred isolation and the company of the dead and undead, she was still hunted down and killed before she ever had a chance to complete her Phylactery to bind her soul to and become a Lich.

As she was dying, she still tried to bind to her half-finished Phylactery, only to wake up in the recently deceased body of a murdered young bride, FFF. The lingering essence of FFF’s soul allows her memories to bleed into GGG. Enraged by the abuses this young girl has endured, she is pleasantly surprised to find she still had control over her magics.

GGG and FFF were both cast as villainous women in their stories. Now, to avenge them both, GGG intends to be.

Neglected.

Unwanted.

Unloved.

Ignored by her father and brother, even most of the servants, it was no wonder she clung to the minute kindness of her half-brother’s closest friend, the Duke’s son. Since she was a child, she devoted herself to him, trailing after him in adoration and hero worship that bordered on a puppy crush. That devotion led her to being targeted by the daughter of Earl (FVC), who was skilled at making herself look like a victim in comparison to FMC’s awkwardness.

Everything comes to a boil when she is accused of attempting to murder the FVC and is imprisoned.

No one believes her.

Cares for her.

And in despair, she gives up, dying from pneumonia and malnutrition.

When she wakes up, she finds herself once more in her youth. She finds that she has just woken up from being terribly ill after waiting in the rain to see her father. This illness was what made her health so fragile the rest of her life and made it easy for her to perish in the damp, cold, dank dungeon.

At first, she thinks its a dream, but when she realizes its not…she plans. She will flee from her father’s household, to her maternal grandmother, whom she only knew through letters.

DDD was an unwanted nuisance in the eyes of ASS, her intended husband, since middle school. Their families had made an arrangement to unite their companies through marriage and she had done her best to be a good future bride for the handsome boy she was smitten with. However, rejected and belittled over and over again, DDD gives up. With her family supporting her, she moves away before her senior year of high school and ends up staying with her maternal grandparents.

What no one knows is, she’s lived this life before. That senior year of high school was the beginning of the end, when her fiance’s girlfriend, EVIL, escalated in her bullying and framing of DDD. Believing DDD guilty of trying to harm his beloved EVIL, ASS marries her and makes her life miserable. He also targets her family, suppressing them to the point of bankruptcy and death. DDD herself dies after being sold to one of ASS’s potential business partners as part of their deal; realizing what was about to happen to her, she leaps into the ocean, where she drowns...and awakens to find herself reborn to the summer before Senior year.

DDD knows better than to feel safe; even as she studies, she stays in contact with her parents, giving them advice thanks to her previous life. However, she is aware that there are things she doesn’t know thanks to the abuse and isolation of ASS, as well as the fact that even the changes she’s already made could change the outcomes of her previous life. Hopefully, for the better.

DDD is a soft-spoken and shy woman; she is an only child, born after several years of trying. She is the treasure of her parents and grandparents. In her later schooling years, she was mocked and bullied for being weird and chubby, much of it orchestrated by EVIL. In her senior year of high school, she is being harassed by EVIL in a stairwell and is framed for knocking her down and breaking EVIL’s arm; in actuality, EVIL had been trying to push DDD down the stairs and fell herself.

ASS is academically gifted and groomed to take over his grandfather’s business; his engagement with DDD was arranged between his grandfather and her father to pave the way for a merger of their companies, which will help ASS’s company survive. He has always loved EVIL, even though his parents disapprove since she’s not from an ‘acceptable’ background. (aka they know she’s a gold digger)

story idea - rebirth fic

Debra Barton was the idiotic ugly duckling in her intelligent and beautiful family. So no one was surprised to learn she wasn't their biological daughter, but actually the result of an accidental switch at birth. Her life got worse after the real daughter, Marianna Summers, came home after the deaths of her adopted parents. She had tried to bond with her new sister who was perfect in every way, figuring they had their experience as outcasts in their adopted families in common. But lingering resentment inside the family fermented into hatred.

In the end, she died an unwanted broken shell of herself.

So when she woke up in the distant past, well before the deaths of her biological parents, she swore to not repeat the mistakes of her first life. She would find a way to reunite with her biological parents, not stay with the family that always treated her as an unwanted nuisance. And if it turns out they don’t want her either, she’d set off on her own.

This time, she would seek out her own happiness.

Gracie Campbell was an orphaned small-town girl who was not rich or powerful and was considered average in looks and intelligence. But somehow, after managing to land a job in the big city as a secretary, she’d managed to marry Trevor Horton, who was rich, powerful, and handsome.

It was a Cinderella story...

And it was all a lie.

Gracie was a substitute for his true love, Eleanor Bryant. And worse, she was an unwitting decoy to keep his beloved safe. The way she wore her hair, her clothes, even the way she wore her makeup was to make her look like the glamourous Eleanor.

She found this out the hard way as she was being murdered.

So when she reawakened in the past, well before all the bad that had happened to her family and all that would lead her down that road into Trevor’s clutches, she was at first convinced everything had been a nightmare.

But quickly figuring out it wasn’t, she had to change the future of her family and herself...

  NOTES:

Gracie and Eleanor are maternal cousins

Gracie’s mother is the daughter of the first wife, while Eleanor’s is the daughter of the mistress/second wife

Gracie’s mother is driven away by her stepmother’s scheming, narrowly escaping to a small town with her maternal grandparents help; she changes her name and later on marries Gracie’s Dad

Gracie’s parents aren’t the richest but they are happy and loving to each other and their daughter

Gracie and Eleanor have the same rare blood type and are bone marrow matches

Trevor has many enemies, but Eleanor made plenty of her own

When it came to her husband ASS, OOO always took last in the list of priorities in their short marriage. She meant so little to him that people that people outside his family and friends didn’t even know they were married.

The first person on ASS’s list of priorities was BITCH. She was the woman he truly loved…and was the woman who dumped him. BITCH blamed it on the fact his family threatened to disown him if they married. ASS agreed with her. However, despite his claims and the complaints of his friends, he was not forced to marry OOO.

In the end, it all meant nothing. OOO died before ever securing a divorce and her freedom from that short, miserable marriage. She died knowing it was BITCH’s doing and that ASS didn’t care.

She didn’t expect to wake up again as a teenager. This point in time was when she was still in a coma from the car accident that almost killed her…and did kill her father. The other party involved was ASS’s grandfather, whose sabotaged car had gone out of control. This was the start of her life slowly going down hill. This was the point she had to change everything.

Because in her first life, she didn’t wake up this early…

In his first life, HERO had been crippled as a child by protecting his best-friend and step-brother ASSHOLE. As he grew, he fell in love with FFF, the sweet girl next door. Unfortunately, the accident that had crippled him hadn’t been an accident and he was unable to tell anyone and be believed, due to the fact he was being heavily drugged by his step-mother. With the injuries of the past and the drugs, he is believed to be mentally handicapped as well as phyically crippled. His best-friend and step-brother? Was actually his half-brother. His step-mother? His father’s long-term mistress and ‘beloved’. Everything, from his mother’s ‘terminal illness’ to all that had happened to him, had been a plot to get his inheritance.

What was worse than the fact they went after his sweet, innocent FFF. Like him, she was unwanted in her family and often escaped next door to hide from them. It was how they met. She, believing him to be mentally and physically handicapped, would become his caretaker as they grew up. ASSHOLE seduced her, setting her up for a fall...because she was the perfect scapgoat for the murder of HERO.

HERO knows this because his vengeful spirit couldn’t leave her side after his death. And he watched the horrors she endured before finally ending her life. That seemed to release the tether that tied them and he found himself watching his foolish younger self rushing to save his ‘best-friend’...

Frustrated, the ghost of HERO pushes his younger self out of harms way....and it worked?

In more ways than one.

HERO blacked out after pushing his younger self...and wakes up in that body. He has managed to prevent the worst of his injuries. His body and mind is still intact; he just has to keep them that way.

WWW has awakened from a dangerously high fever; weak and confused, she tries to make sense of the fever-dreams she has endured, fragmented nightmares of a future yet to come.

In them, WWW who has tried so desperately to gain her father’s love, is abandoned by him in favor of his newly revealed illegitimate daughter, born of his secret long-term mistress. Everything she has ever fought and strived for, is slowly stripped from her in a cascade of pain and deliberate misunderstandings, among them her status and even the childhood sweetheart she loved. It all ends in her death for crimes she never committed.

At first, she thinks it just a series of nightmares from her fever.

Until her father brings home his mistress and their daughter mere weeks after her mother’s funeral.

If that was real, then were the other things she glimpsed in her fever dreams real too? Was her illness a result of being poisoned? Was the fatal fall down the stairs her mother suffered murder and not an accident?

Knowing she is not safe nor wanted in the place that should have been her home, she flees after becoming ‘ill’ once again. Before she can find the truth, she needs to get someplace safe to completely recover and build up a backing. Still weak from her ‘illness’, she inadvertently trespasses into dangerous lands and finds herself the ‘guest’ of the dangerous and beastly Grand Duke.

In her nightmares, he died too.

EEE has been murdered by  her husband, ASSHOLE on the grave of his beloved, BITCH, who happens to be EEE’s step-sister. EEE’s life was short and miserable, a perfect example of where things were never what they seemed:

ASSHOLE almost died as a boy but was saved by BITCH...except he wasn’t, it was EEE. This led to them having an arranged marriage. One ASSHOLE resented because he loved BITCH and felt EEE had tricked his grandfather into claiming she was his savior. No matter who told him the truth, he believed it was BITCH due to a mark where she got hurt. EEE has a similiar mark, but he claimed she inflicted it herself. (No one ever said ASSHOLE was smart, despite his apparently high IQ.)

BITCH, devastated by ASSHOLE and EEE marrying, committed suicide. Supposedly. They never found a body. Turns out she left the country to marry a foreign businessman richer than ASSHOLE, a marriage that fell apart because of her constant schemes, jealousy, and greedy nature. Kicked to the curb, she makes a miraculous recovery, appearing at her grave right as EEE is being murdered.

BITCH and ASSHOLE shall have their happily ever after, right?

Maybe in that lifetime.

But not in this one: EEE was reborn on the day before she saved ASSHOLE.

Should she save him or let him die? Choices, choices.

She chooses to save him, but not directly. Carefully, she nudges it to that someone else arrives on the scene. So he’s saved but she has very little to do with it. But neither does BITCH.

YYY is living her third life.

In her first, she was in love with ASS - he was to be her husband after all, their marriage decided before they even became teenagers. He, however, barely tolerated her and quickly took a fancy to a beautiful lower ranked under-classman in the Imperial Mage Academy. For trumped up charges of bullying this girl, YYY was publicly condemned and even executed.

To clarify: YYY, the daughter of a Marquis and high-ranked Imperial Mage, was killed over claims of school-yard bullying of a Baron’s daughter, claims that could not be confirmed outside of hearsay and unreliable witness statements.

Yeah, it was unbelievable to her too.

Her second life, she regained her memories after the engagement. This time, she had no affections for ASS. Instead she stayed far away from him and that Baron’s daughter during the Academy, going so far as to take advanced courses in a different curriculum so to prevent any misunderstandings. It didn’t work. Once more, she was falsely accused on trumped up charges and killed.

Monica Sinclair is the ever proficient and compassionate personal assistant to the top ranking lawyers of the DC Branch of Metcalfe, Hart, al-Taysir, and Associates - she is also one of the ones helped by the Sanctuary Network. However, her past isn't as over as she and the others had previously thought. As she moves forward with her life, her ex-husband and his nightmarish family have found her again.

James Spencer has recently has his life turned upside down; the older half-brother he always idolized turned into a monster and his sister-in-law was forced to flee for not just her safety but also that of her unborn child. This has brought him into the Sanctuary Network, where he meets a kind, beautiful woman with a broken past and bruised heart.

Falling hard and fast for each other, they will have to deal with an ex-husband who's pride won't let him accept that his former wife left him and moved on. And that's not including the dark family secrets that caused her to flee in the first place...
