By Your Side

Who has been spying on me ???? This is literally me writing my 90's Lucely AU

Let's Talk Failure 
When I wrote the fanfics I've had to re-read some older serials for details and since my website was in shambles at the time, I usually went through the blog posts. Some of my old posts are super cringe-y but going through them reminded me:

I've failed SO MUCH.

I infamously rebooted Veritas as Vice but I'd totally forgotten Blessed Hearts was a reboot of De Tullieres and UL3 is a reboot of On Higher Ground. It's weird to do the "oops...let's try this again..." thing so publicly but it's also interesting because I can look back and see where  I got stuck

I don't have a point, just something I noticed. I do think a big reason I was rebooting things is because  I didn't let stuff "marinate" enough and now all I do is let ideas marinate in my mind palace until I'm itching to write.

Oh, and I have to give it up to commenters for your patience!

By Your Side
It is still so bizarre to be sharing this fic! It still feels like my little secret delusion that should not be
seeing the light of day. . .

By Your Side started like a dare I had with myself. I got the gist of the idea and kept saying, "that would be crazy, right ?" "that would be dumb, right ?" and then "Is that even okay to do ?"

This story will be in two parts.

Recap 
Because UL3 is centered around Hurricane Katrina this story definitely takes place in 2020 but I could have never predicted coronavirus. So, clearly this is an AU where that doesn't exist. Although maybe in a few years when this passes I could write what my characters would do in a quarantine...
 

In late spring, 16-year-old Mason Clark and his family move to Connecticut for his Dad's job at the Coast Guard Academy. Over the summer he meets 16-year-old Nova Haley-Grace and now they are going to school together....
