Story Descriptions

Where The Heart Belongs: Fire Emblem (ZelgiusxOCxIke)

Our story begins with a funeral, but not just any funeral, it is the funeral of Zelgius' younger brother. The people of Sienne have their doubts that Astin died due to complications from an illness. They think he was poisoned by his mysterious widow, Fay. Meanwhile, the apostle and the Senate have decided to enter the Mad King's War. In order to protect Fay from the judgmental people of Sienne, Zelgius decides to take her with him to Daein. Fay is intimidated and sometimes even frightened by the general of the Begnion army, especially since she suspects that he is keeping a dark secret. On the other hand, there is a side of Zelgius that Fay begins to see the more time they spend together. That is, until he disappears not long after they meet up with the Greil Mercenaries. Fay chooses to remain with the mercenaries, even going so far as to train with them. This will be a love triangle, and I have yet to make up my mind as to who Fay will end up with.

Scarlet Town: The Walking Dead (DarylxOC)

Set in Oregon, 1870. This story will have elements and characters from the series, but the plot is going to differ a great deal (at least as of right now). The story will come first. The zombies will come later. If you have ever seen the movie or the stage show Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, you will recognize some elements of that as well, but they will be pretty minimal. This story centers around Emma Thorne, who finds herself without a place to live and without a job very early on in the story. She is offered a position as a cook and farmhand by Merle Dixon, an outsider with a place of his own up in the mountains. Drama, romance, and zombies ensue... (Zombies appear for the first time in Chapter 19, so if you're looking to skip directly to that part of the story, there is a recap at the bottom of the profile.)

Under her latest alias, Diana King, she takes shelter with the Greene family. When a new group comes along, and the sheriff leading them thinks he knows Diana's face, she becomes flighty. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so will Diana choose to take her chances out in the woods, or with the sheriff who is bound to figure out who she is eventually?
