Ch. 1: Starting

Hello, everybody! My name is RogueRavenclaw99 and today I present to you my very first Gears of War fanfiction!

I got into Gears of War thanks to my dad, and I've been reading quite a few fanfictions, so I decided to write my own.

This is the story of Anya and Marcus after the war, mainly during the time JD grew up. There isn't a lot of pre-established story centering around this topic, so here's my take on it. Anyway, enough rambling. On to the story!

Marcus Fenix grumbled as he opened his eyes. One of his arms was under his head and the other was around the waist of Anya Stroud.

He couldn't believe he was here. Just less than a year ago, he had been constantly sleep deprived and fighting Locust and Lambent monsters. Now, he was able to sleep peacefully with the woman he loved.

As Marcus blinked the sleep out of his eyes, he glanced at Anya, who was curled into a ball, cuddled close to Marcus' warm body.

Anya opened her green eyes and stared into Marcus' beautiful blue ones. "How are you enjoying your tomorrow, Marcus?" she asked him sleepily.

"I like it a lot Anya," Marcus said in his rough voice.

"Bye Marcus," Anya said, looking up and kissing Marcus on the cheek.

Marcus said nothing but grunted as Anya drove away in their truck. He hated her being away from him for even a minute but Anya insisted that she needed to spend some 'girl time' with Sam, so she was going to drive to where Sam was currently living with Baird.

As Anya drove away, Marcus looked around their estate. Society was still rebuilding from the war, and most people had no place to go. The COG were still attempting to gather

Stranded and other civilians, but Marcus didn't want to live there. As a result, he and Anya had moved into Anya's family's estate.

Marcus went back into the main house and saw an old bag hanging from a chair. He dug through the bag and found a plastic bag full of seeds and a piece of paper.

Marcus pulled out the piece of paper and sighed. The paper read, Dom's tomatoes. No one better touch these.

Marcus took the bag of seeds and walked to the greenhouse. He grabbed a couple of pots and set to work.

Really short chapter by my expectations, but this is just a setup chapter.
