"I guess I like Foster better than you," he remarked. "In some ways, I'm sure you do."Fitz muttered lowly. Sophie blushed, eyeing them both. What was wrong with them? * * * Even on the first day, Sophie can feel the tension. Whenever she's around, Fitz and Keefe seem to always get in fights. Maybe there really is a love triangle, like Biana told her months ago. Now, Sophie must solve it as soon as possible, or risk breaking up her friend group. But, as she'll figure out, it's not as easy as solving for x. Previous books in this series: New Girl, Summer with the Crew

Prologue------- "The truth is I have liked you since I saw you, Foster" "Keefe...I don't know what to say" That was when Keefe finally confessed even though he knew he would be rejected..he did it so he could move on and be happy when he saw her with Fitz. But he never really could move on from someone that amazing could he? ***ALL THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO SHANON MESSENGER***

Keefe wakes up from a long coma in order to regain strength. Dex is stronger then him, zero muscle Dex! Struggling to lift weights is one thing, struggling to move your wrist is another. After almost dying, Keefe's struggling in order to hold onto his dignity. He's embarrassed, mortified, and doesn't understand why Sophie is still there for him. Most people would leave him in the dust knowing he is such a loser. It also doesn't help that Fitz is starting to show Sophie his feelings, Sophie blushes at his actions. Does that mean the Keefester is out of the game? On the other hand, Biana is developing feelings, and is trying to push them away. Sophie is struggling with her new powers. Dex is afraid of being completely crushed all over again. Tam is worried about Lyhn. Lyhnn is worried that some boy doesn't actually like her. Through all of the chaos, will this group of friends, stay friends? Or will it all burn like Eternalia?

Betrayal after betrayal after betrayal. Three weeks since Keefe was seen by Sophie and her friends. Three weeks since Sophie's best friend turned his back on her. Three weeks since Sophie's heart was shattered. One day, a horrific incident happens and the Neverseen are to blame. But will Keefe be with them? Will he be his normal, fun loving self? Or someone completely different? Read this small fanfiction set between Shannon Messenger's Book 4 (Neverseen) and Book 5 (Lodestar). (This is my story set between Neverseen and Lodestar. I just imagined what the characters would do while they wait a year to get their next adventure and wrote it. Please don't steal it from me, it's not good enough to steal anyways.) *WARNING* TYPOS AND RUN ON PARAGRAPHS. READ AT OWN RISK. Cover by @ElvenNoir/SioCynder (tumblr)

This fanfic takes place after Unlocked, which ends (spoiler alert) with Keefe leaving. Sophie's heartbroken about him being gone, maybe forever, but the Neverseen is still a threat to her and her friends and family. After losing Keefe, Sophie's not here to play their games anymore. This is rated as mature because I'll occasionally reference something more graphic or use stronger language. (Sassy kinda-psycho Sophie?????) The cover is by soso_doodles on Tumblr--which you should totally check out, her art is awesome! All characters belong to Shannon Messenger.

WRITTEN BEFORE FLASHBACK [Update schedule: Every 1-3 months Last update: April 16, 2022] Keefe's been heartbroken, the one he loved starts to go out with someone else, his best friend Fitz. Dex is also upset, he finally gets over Sophie, and he began liking Biana. Problem with that is that she's with Tam. He's been faced with the pain of being unnoticed, as all his friends have been to busy with their love life to notice. When the two find out each other's problems, they try and work together and get better. Two pranking buddies work together to get revenge. In a world where you can't always choose who to love, what will they do when they begin to have feelings for each other? I'm open to constructive criticism, I'd love to know how I can do better.

"Keefe. Even if I hadn't been unmatchable, even if Fitz and I had been on each other's match lists, I need you to know that eventually, it still would have been you." -Excerpt from "Triumphant" All she knew was that this time, she and Keefe were scared and broken together. This time, it wasn't just one comforting the other. This time, they had to draw strength from each other and simply be glad they weren't going through it alone. -Excerpt from "Ro(part 2)" And then, he was kissing her. And everything that had happened between them, all of the near misses, all of the heartache, every memory they shared--the good and the bad--was replaying in both of their minds as they shared this one perfect kiss. -Excerpt from "Ro(part 5)" "I learned that day that Fitz may have filled your head, but I was in your heart... I didn't know if you'd ever make the connection, but knowing I was in your heart kept me going. Because Sophie, for me-even back then-it was all you. You filled my head and my heart. You still do. And you always will." -Excerpt from "Head vs Heart" All headcanon. All characters and settings belong to Shannon Messenger.

Beginning right after the latest Keepers book Unlocked, Sophie returns home to Find Grady suspiciously sad, but never in her mind could she have imagined why, finally she goes up stairs and reads Keefe's (heartbreaking) letter. Will she go after him or honor his wishes? Spoilers if you haven't read Unlocked. But if you're like me and aching to read the next book I hope this fanfic will help you with the wait. Enjoy! ~~~ She sat frozen, hardly allowing herself to breathe. Keefe was... gone? Shock paralyzed her whole body as her mind processed this thought. "No." Sophie muttered, sure she had to have gotten it wrong. This was all a misunderstanding right? Maybe she'd read it wrong... or maybe it was a joke. Yes. A joke, that's what it had to be. It had to be a joke. Cause this? Keefe leaving? Never seeing him again? If that were true... if this was real... She'd never survive the coming war. ~~~ He was so close. So close to hearing her voice. It was so simple. He could just call her name and she'd be right there. All he had to do was say her name. "Keefe!" She called frantically, racing towards him. "What is it?" Keefe asked, waiting too see what in the world could make her look so startled. "A girl dropped out of the sky!" ~~~ Ask before you copy any original characters, scenes etc. ~~ Discontinued ~~

This is a work of fanfiction, all credit and characters belong to Shannon Messenger. Placed after Stellarlune, for the sake of the story Elysian is gone, and most of Keefe's powers are fixed. NO Mature/Explicit scenes. Keefe's forehead was searing hot against Sophie's shoulder, she pressed it harder against her, hoping to brand the feeling there. "You don't always mess things up Keefe." Unable to resist the soft tendrils tickling her fingers, she slid her fingers up the nape of his neck and into his hair. The sound he made, could have only be described as a whimpered groan, his arms pulling Sophie impossibly close to him. "I want you." Keefe's voice was strangled. "I want you so much, Sophie. I want you to be mine, I want you to look for me whenever you go into a room- the same way I look for you. I want you to think of me as soon as you wake up, and right before you go to sleep- the way I think of you. I want you to-" Emotions choked out Keefe's voice, Sophie pulled away just enough for her eyes to find his, Keefe's breath coming out in harsh jagged rasps, his eyes burned into hers with sheer desperation. Tears sprung into Sophie's as she recognized just how much Keefe needed her- a desperation that consumed him from the inside out, a feeling that reflected her own. "I'm yours." Sophie promised.
