《Collection of Imagines (complete)》Nights Like This (Owen Joyner)*
Advertisement
A/N: This is my first time writing for Owen but I've been loving him lately and got inspired so here it is!
It was another late night of shooting Julie and The Phantoms. You played Julie's older cousin who passed away a few years ago. Julie was able to see you as well as Alex, Reggie, Luke, and Willie since they were also ghosts. Your character Autumn had died from a surgery gone wrong and had been stuck in the "dark" room until one day she was dropped onto Julie's bed.
Julie had been in her room crying and talking to you and her mother about how hard everything was and before she knew it, Autumn had dropped onto her bed. From there she introduced you to the boys in Sunset Curve and the five of you became inseparable.
The whole cast was still on set trying to wrap up filming on two musical numbers which led to a pile of tired bodies huddled together in the corner of the set. The crew was setting up the lights and props for the "All Eyes On Me" scene at the moment so you were all taking this time to catch your breath and rest.
Charlie, Jeremy and Madison were sat against the wall talking to Carolynn on FaceTime while Savannah rewatched the dance video with Tori to make sure she had her moves right before they started shooting the scene. Owen was laying down on the floor scrolling through his phone so you decided to lay your head on his chest as you scrolled through your own phone.
Moments like this was what you loved about working with this group. Everyone could be in their own little world but at the end of the day, you were so comfortable together that it didn't make a difference to you guys. Every once in a while you'd hear a laugh from Jer, Charlie and Mads as Carolynn said something funny or you'd hear Savannah sing along to "All Eyes On Me" and that brought you immense comfort.

You had to leave your family behind at a young age to work on your acting career and you often found yourself missing them. You would lie awake at night wondering what life would be like if you didn't decide to pursue acting. It's not that you hated it because that's far from the truth but it was hard to be away from them so much. That was why you were so thankful to be working with a group of people that became a second family to you.
You were taken out of your thoughts when you felt Owen wrap an arm around your body. This was normal for the two of you. Ever since you met during the audition process, you had always been really close. You didn't want to admit it to anyone but you definitely liked him as more than a friend. Savannah had noticed the way you acted around each other and she was determined that he liked you. She didn't know how you felt but she would always tell you that he acts different with you than he does with anyone else and she has known him for years already.
You looked up at Owen as best as you could from your position and saw him looking back at you. He stuck his tongue out at you when you caught his eye making the two of you laugh. He gave you a kiss on the forehead before going back to scrolling on his phone.
"Five minutes until we start shooting!" you heard Kenny shout.
The seven of you started to put your phones away, get up and dust off your clothes. You felt Owen wrap his arms around your shoulder from behind as he hugged you. The smell of his cologne wrapped around you as you breathed in the comforting smell. You leaned you head to the side to look up at him as he looked back down at you with a knowing smile.

"Alright I think it's time to get some energy flowing through everyone." you said as Owen let you go and walked towards the speakers on set.
The rest of you watched as he plugged his phone in and before you knew it, "If I Can't Have You" by Shawn Mendes started blasting through the speakers.
Everyone looked at each other before you all started jumping around, dancing and shouting the words to the song. It was normal for you guys to have dance parties before filming a scene when you had late nights. It always got everyone reenergized and got the blood pumping.
Owen ran over to you before wrapping his arms around you and lifting you up. He spun around in a circle as the two of you laughed and sang along to the song together. Once he put you back down he grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the rest of the cast. The seven of you huddled together and danced your hearts out and did you special chant that you had created together.
"Phantoms! Phantoms! We're the best, we'll keep singing and never rest. We work hard to slay the show because we're the best but you already know!" you chanted together before everyone was pulled into a big group hug.
"This is what happens behind the scenes when you have a cast that genuinely love each other." you guys heard Kenny say before turning and seeing him recording you guys on his phone.
You all waved at his phone before having one last group hug and going off to your places on set. Moments like that are what you lived for. Having shoots that went into the early hours of the morning were exhausting but with a group of people like that, how could you ever get tired? They motivated you to work harder every day because you know that without just one person, the whole dynamic would be off. You cherished the tight bonds you had made with this group and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.

8 107A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!
