    Summary

    Elizabeth Colvin is no stranger to the cruelty of the world. At the age of ten, her parents were murdered, and she was sent to an abusive foster family, from whom she managed to escape at fifteen. Resorting to stealing to survive, she figured everything was over when she was caught by Lieutenant Morris, but he gave her a chance at a new life, one she eagerly took.

    Now an adult, and an investigative reporter, she plans to use this opportunity to make a difference and help those in need, exposing the corrupt underbelly of New York City. While chasing a story, Elizabeth stumbles upon a scene she shouldn't have, and is pulled into the heart of New York's corruption: the mafia. Armed with her intellect, wit, and a concealed gun, she is prepared to get her story, and escape with her life.

    The only thing she's not prepared for are the two men who pull on her heartstrings, one belonging to a world of glamour and wealth, and another, to a world of blood and secrets.

    *AUTHOR'S NOTE: Essentially I was unsatisfied with some of the writing, plot holes, and character development of Gotham Memoirs, and decided to write a fanfiction to fix it.

    Summary

    Virginia, 1944

    Only when his tolerance collided with fatigue was Mackey as intimidating as his older brother. “Jackie, I’m not going back to Richmond."

    Jackie didn’t meet Mackey's glare. He continued to count his cut of the cash but glanced to Brian. The twenty one year old would never complain about an opportunity to take Tina Marie out on the town, but after a quick read of Brian, who always withheld his opinion unless asked, Jackie saw he was alone. “The law can't win this one."

    “That’s what the Mountain Shadow’s good for, if you’d find some patience.”

    “Yeah, well, he’s just one guy,” he sighed. “For every dead cop you get three new ones signing up to die.”

    “Then why the hell are we bothering anymore?”

    “It won't stop at the whiskey,” Jackie reminded. “They’ll keep coming until we are no more, I know you believe it.”

    Mackey nodded. It remained true, every passing year marked the quickening end to an era with Jackie protecting their cabin and legacy the only way he understood how. He watched Brian stuff his own earnings into a leather satchel, their ward unaware of how his heart broke further with a profound pity for him; a pity Jackie refused to acknowledge.

    Summary

    The 1920’s prohibition era AU no one asked for —

    Phayu thinks he’s working off more than just a hunch if the aborted wai and slip of the tongue honorific were anything to go by when he says down at the boy –

    “Do you know what you’re offering, nong?”


    “Yes Khun. P’Pakin told me to take very good care of you.”

    Pakin probably told him a lot more than that if the boy’s insistent pawing at his zipper was anything to go by. But he’s certainly not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially not one so — pretty.


    Phayu goes in for a shoe shine and ends up getting more than just his shoes polished.

    Summary

    Henry knows he should walk away, go inside, forget this entire encounter on behalf of staying polite, but he can’t help but give into anger and disappointment, snapping, “Tell me, women in the States cannot be so blinded by a pleasing smile to--”

     

    “You think my smile is pleasing?”

     

    Mr. Claremont-Diaz’s smirk inspires a glowering look from Henry before he can even think of schooling his expression into something more guarded. “I think if you stopped stroking your own ego you might find time to do more important things like amend your character or shoddy horsemanship.”

    Summary

    “Oh, Gladys. I truly am much better than I was inside that… place. The voices, they—they stopped as soon as I left.” Lilly laughed just a little too loudly to be convincingly sober, every male’s head in the vicinity swivelling towards her with magnetic interest. “Getting out there has been good for me. Meeting people, seeing faces and… and smiles.”

    Her eyes glassed over. She often found that when she remembered and reminisced on the boozy parties and drunken laughter and glasses of various alcohols, she travelled long and slow down memory lane, the hazy sunset of rosy memory washing over her like chloroform. “I’ve never been… more content.”


    In a drowsy bar, five families find their way to each other. Not by chance, but by a fate unbroken for centuries. Follow the Whittmore, Poppy, Bootles, Brawne and O'Brien families in the 1900-1920s as the wolf brings them together once more. Updates Wednesdays.
