《Fandom Imagines and Preferences V》Virginia Blackstone- Amsterdam (c)
Advertisement
Normally you wouldn't recognise a brunette American from across the road, but Ginny stood out like a sore thumb which was impressive with the rest of the tourists around her. You had to do a double take to figure out if you were imagining things, but you certainly couldn't deny that that was the woman you had met back in London. You were people watching from outside of a café, having just ordered a slice of cake and a cup of tea to keep you for the time being until you would be going out for dinner that night.
"Ginny!" You shouted across the street.
She looked around for the source of the shouting, probably assuming she wouldn't find anyone she knew in a foreign country. As soon as her eyes locked on yours, she offered you a gentle smile, crossing the street to reach you.
You knew that she was travelling through Europe but didn't know where exactly she was going, just following the instructions left by her deceased aunt. You had had a trip planned to Amsterdam for your work and it just happened to be when Ginny was there too. You had been given a lovely hotel room on the business account and all you needed to do was meet with a few clients but the rest of the time you were free to do what you wanted, dinner and breakfast being offered at your hotel under their payment. It was a pretty good deal and even better now that you had met with someone you knew.
"What are you doing here?" She smiled, clearly struggling under the weight of her rucksack.
"It's a business trip but I haven't got anything until later in the day, why don't you join me?" You offered.
She did as she was told, sitting down opposite you at the table.

"Peg send you here?" You asked.
She nodded her head.
"Where are you staying?"
Ginny scrunched up her nose. "It's far from a decent place but it'll do until I need to move on."
You took a sip of your tea. "Why don't you come and stay with me? There's only one bed but there's a large sofa you can sleep on if that sounds more appealing than your current predicament."
"Really?" She grinned. "That would be great. Are you sure? You barely even know me."
You shrugged your shoulders. "You're Peg's niece, I'd do anything for her."
Peg had been living with your neighbor Richard a while back and you had had the chance to get to know her. She was a lovely woman and her death was a tragic fate for someone so spirited, but you could only find solace in her life living on through her letters she had given to her niece.
"I really appreciate it," she smiled. "I feel so lost but honestly I feel as though I've found part of myself, I never knew I didn't have in following Peg's trail."
"I'm sure there is a lot more to find."

The Solipsist
Every novel needs a main character, and in this case, it's a young man named Jacob Bates. Jacob is your average guy who likes books, television, and long walks on the beach. One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)

To Snag A Vampire
Where you would expect a brother-knight to be a paragon of virtue, discipline, and modesty — Oliver Arborough is a little off the mark, what with his frivolous, flippant nature and the tendency to give in to worldly desires. Teetering on the line between the finer things in life and the order’s tolerance, he faces a challenge that might just send him over the edge; On a routine assignment to kill some local legend terrorizing a rural countryside, our strapping young knight encounters an unparalleled beauty in the form of a young woman called Lenora — who happens to be said local legend terrorizing said rural countryside. And so begins the tale of a young knight and his reluctant companion, in a journey that the order most definitely would not approve of and could very well spell a life of hardship and strife for him in the future — but hey, doesn’t that just add to the thrill of it?
