Fanfiction promots

Y'all are awesome at writing fan fiction so really no advice needed (💜) but here's a list of all the possibility you have with a fan fiction, in response to the ones who think they're more limited than original fiction

Possible scenarios about what happens after the end

Alternative ending

A canon scene through a character's pov

The aftermath of an event in the canon work

A flash fiction to describe poetically a canon scene

A fill-the-gap-of-canon scene

Put the focus on a ship (or several ships) that are canon

Creating possible ships that the canon work could possible have but didn't

Centered around a character's development that the original work didn't deepen

Focused on a non-romantic relationship that didn't happen in canon or wasn't so explored

More found family moments because we need them (or, creating a found family that the canon work didn't deepen)

Creating character's background according to the canon information you have

Imagining an origin character (or more than one) and put them in the fandom and the canon story, making them influence it

An original story set in the fandom (that maybe has some connection to the canon story)

Challenge: your life is a goldmine of prompts

Do you know that every life, if you learn to narrate it well, can be full of prompts a storyteller would love to know about?

I challenge you to think about your life, to find the beauty in what you call ordinary, and write down prompts that objectively describe your life. You'll be surprised to find out how much art is in there.

Here are some of mines:

"I used to pray God for a guide, didn't understand They gave me someone to travel with through life"

"Let's just take a moment to appreciate that we're here, talking about this topic, chatting cheerfully, having the priviledge to say about it to people" the person said, and suddenly history was heavy on his shoulders, all the people he liked to call his ancestors, even if they would never share blood, were in front of him. How could he be so lucky? Did he earned it? What would they say to them? "We're proud of you" he realized

He didn't believe in destiny nor fate, but how could you say that life bringing them together periodically was a casualty ?

He hated it [public transport] because it was dangerous, but loved how danger brought them together.

The room was too hot and humid and the people in it were tired, trying to rely on caffeine or laughs to not fall asleep and challenging themselves to not think about the upcoming exams or the work that was waiting for them at home. " C'mon, you should be young and wild" the woman shouted, from her late 50s, a stable work and a wife "we have a pride parade to organize, and it won't plan itself" and all the people in the room lightened, ordinary life behind their shoulders as they discussed ideas and planned imaginary futures of joy and community. Yes, it took them so little to revolutionize their inner worlds.

" Thank you for speaking for us" he cried as he hugged her thigly. And she thanked back, as if he did something extraordinary just for existing. The people around them were doing the same: thank you for speaking, thank you to be here, thank you for that massage, that you for holding my shoulder like that. People shouting in the background was not frightening anymore. This, he tough, was community. But he didn't have so much time for thinking as another hug came from his other friend, as another said his name and praised them, while everybody was smiling back to others.

It didn't matter what he previously said or all the prejudice he had, by just spending those weeks with them he realized that 1 his identity was still something he had to come to terms with and 2 he was madly in love with those two.

"You're not him" said the boy who was almost trying to kiss him, so drunk to mistake him for his boyfriend. "Not I'm not" he replied softly, and now I don't want to be him anymore, added in his head. But he still felt sorry for the boy who had to drink until he puked to relieve the pressure he had on himself. "Please don't tell anyone I was trying to bite the table" the boy added, "oh don't worry, I won't bring it up when you'll run for election" and he was already deciding whether or not he would hypothetically vote for him in 10 years, or less. He knew this boy would go far, but now he felt sorry for that, as if the boy never had the chance to realize how much you could change the world by only truly caring about people without interest. So he grabbed his hand and brought him to his boyfriend to walk the boy home from the metro, all the three of them, and then waited for the boy's message to make sure he was safe home.

Can't wait to know yours

How to know what story you want to tell: observe, steal, adapt

Part one: the plot

This is an unusual post because this time I won't give prompts.

Instead I'm going to show you a way you can identify what you want to narrate starting from who you are and what you like.

This can be applied for every kind of fictional story: novels, short stories, graphic novels, dramatic scripts and so much more. Be creative!

First: the art of discerning

Before we start this creative exercise, I have to underline that this post will be divided in two sections: the things you like and the ways you like.

Often we can like a story because we feel connected to the plot and the themes in it and other times we are more attached to it due to its way of narrating things.

It is important to know the differences between those two in order to have a clear idea of your self-made prompts.

When you feel like you've understood the difference, we can go on

The plot

What you like

Choose from 5 to 10 stories you really like and make sure that they are told through different medias (like, not only books or tv shows)

Don't take too much time thinking: grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down all the stories you feel connected to.

Tip: if you feel you have too much stories you like, think about the ones you'd really like to watch/read /listen to again.

Now, for every of them write down the reasons you like it. Don't take too much time thinking: every small reason that comes to your mind is worth adding.

Here are some examples:

Our flag means death

- historical setting seen with modern lens

- normalization of queer identities (amd lots of them)

- mix of humor and important themes

- centered around masculinity with feminist lens (and portrait of healthy masculinity)

- about mental health too

- unsual romcom

- amazing soundtrack

Or

To the lighthouse

- stream of consciousness

- 1900s UK

- awareness of human emotions and thoughts

- feminist themes

- subtle queer themes

.

When you're done, chose a blank space and divide it in two columns:

In one you write down the things you like

In the other you write the way you like

Example: "stream of consciousness" falls in "ways I like" while the "queer rep" goes under "things I like"

Side note: depending on the media you're going to use, some things aren't usable (like, if you're going to write, "amazing soundtrack" is useless) but make sure to write them on first place, they may give you some ideas on how to adapt them to your chosen media.

What you're looking for

Then, write down all the things you wanted to see more but (almost) never did. Challenge yourself to write as many as possible in a limited time (like, 5 minutes). It can be whatever comes to your mind, like "more neurodivergent characters" or "black and white comics when narrating a memory"

When your set time ends or when you feel like you're done, divide what you wrote in the previous two columns.

What you'd have changed

You could stop here, but if you want more:

Write down from 3 to 5 stories that disappointed you and try to point out in what way they did it.

For everyone find one or more thing that you'd have changed to make them better.

Example:

" 120 BPM"

I didn't like how it focused more on a single tragic story in the end -> I'd keep telling about the story of the group (it will be translated into "focused on story of a group of people")

Then write them down on your two columns.

Your personal prompts

Now, you have two long lists of things only your own person you'd have put together and you can make prompts out of it.

There are two ways you can do it:

Find a pattern:

you may find out you've repeatedly praised historical fiction and have wrote several times "queer rep" and you want to make a comic liking a more realistic style and mixing written paragraphs with drawing (and maybe found out you don't fancy vignettes so much), so you'll go for it.

Creatively mix things together:

you've written "stream of consciousness", " space ships " , "feminist themes" and "found family" and you want to make a story starting from those things.

Advanced tip: what to avoid

If you feel like, you can write down from 3 to 10 stories that everybody seems to like but you don't really fancy.

Then, for everyone you can list the reasons you don't like it.

You'll may find out that you like fantasy worlds but don't like do-it-all-magic or that you're bored of quick romances, and that's ok.

You can then make a list of things you may find pressure to add but don't want to, and feel free to not narrate in your own story.

Final advice:

You now have some prompts that came out form who you are and what you like. Experiment with them, have fun, try them out and don't be afraid of changing some things if you feel to.

This is your story (or stories) and the only way to measure its worth is to see if it makes you happy.

Go out and write, draw, record and plot and don't be afraid if it sounds too much "you" or too less common like.

This is about you and your creativity, and I'm pretty sure that out there there are people who can't wait to see your work.

I'm already rooting for you.

And if in your creative process you'll accidentally find yourself here again, you'll likely find the second part about creating characters from your own liking.

Narrative styles you should consider if you want something unusual

Written medias

Using the second person "you" instead of third person or first person narration. This style is better used when focusing on a single person or a small group. It can be impersonal or it can be someone specific referring to the protagonist(s)

Stream of consciousness (this is heavily focus on one or few pov only)

Exchanging letters (epistolar)

Story narrated in a personal diary or memoir

The story is told through poems / one epic poem

Visual medias

It's like a stream of consciousness where you see other people but they don't talk. Everything is a recalling of the protagonist, and it comes as a memory.

The protagonist (or more than one) sometimes breaks the fourth wall to narrate things to the audience

Podcasts/ audio medias

Story told through voicemail

Story learn only through phone calls

Story narrated through personal diary

All the medias

Different point of views for every chapter / section / episode

The story is learn through people chatting with each others in different times (maybe same place)

The story is told through a person/ group of person that narrate the events to others/record them

The point(s) of view isn't the one of the protagonist but of someone describing/trying to know them. You get to know the story by other people's thoughts, memories and interpretations

I usually don't reblog but this warmed my heart in a time where i really needed it:

You're still here, you're always here as long as there's life, and we're gaining the power of telling our own stories. Fill them with grace, joy, openness, consent, curiosity, creativity and even the pain filled with amazement of being human.

And then bring those stories into your life, make them shape you and see how beautiful it is to be.

Slow burn romance prompts and tips

Slow burn romances are awesome but taking so much time for the people involved to realize they love each other can be exhausting for the people enjoying the piece of media.

To make things exiting you have to give the reader/audience reasons to enjoy the slowness of the romance and not strive to get to the point where it becomes canon.

In order to do this, your characters should be involved in the relationship (even if it's not romantic yet) and the audience should feel the reasons why this romance is going to happen.

Here are some tips and prompts on how to do it:

.

Make them bond

Show how they're unconsciously building their relationship by spending time together. Give them reasons to constantly seek companionship even if none of them is fully aware that they're in love.

Some prompts can be:

They have a common hobby they decided to explore together

They are involved in the same organization (volunteering, community service, defending human rights, local organizations about whatever, but if it's fantasy even thigs like a group of people with the same powers)

They have to work on a project (it can be about their work, education, hobbies, organizations they joined, bringing a dictator down, fighting aliens etc)

They have to take care of a mutual friend

They are in the same team of a competitive sport/field.

They bond over common past experiences

They are going to have the same experience (for example, they bond over the fact that they're going to move in the same town for external reasons)

Give them chemistry

Sexual chemistry is good, but it's not good in a slow burn romance. There are other types of chemistry, however, that can make your romance a lot more interesting:

Intellectual chemistry

Humor chemistry (they easily make the other-s laugh and be happier)

Habits/believes chemistry (they feel more connected by basing their lives on the same principles)

Love language chemistry

Theoretical sexual chemistry (they just view and live sexuality in the same way, more similar and linked to belief chemistry)

Make the audience understand the reasons they're in love

Love isn't merely based on logical reasons, but healthy relationships are based on them too. Chose some reasons for why they're going to be in love and develop them overtime.

They could be - but not limited to:

Great admiration for what other-s do

Cooperation and complicity

Trust and communication

Same life goals

Healthy emotional support

Same life philosophy

They feel good together

Sense of safety

Make it human

Even if relationships have to be based on principles that mustn't lack, like consent and other fundamental things, it's important to not write about perfect ™ relationships but make them good in a human way.

Give characters involved bad days for external reasons, give then some fear, misjudgment or just a moment when they miss their past.

Allow your characters to be good humans and not dreamy perfect partners.

Plus: make it clearly possible

Minorities are unrepresented in medias and often this can lead to a lack of diverse love stories. So when it comes to a slow burn romance, it can be easy to want to rush to it only to be assured that this is going to happen.

To avoid this, make it clear that this can potentially happen without hitting at their romance yet.

For example, if your audience can be scared that this slow burn romance won't become a thing because it's queer and often queer baiting is chosen over actually queer representation, give to the story other happy queer love stories. They can be fully developed or just mentioned, like a character's friend cleary involved in a queer relationship that's often hit at but not important.

Other examples can be mentioning a past where this kind of romance already happened (like a poly character that was in a poly relationship years before) or showing people similar to this character in a happy relationship.

Retelling of overused historical periods (part 1)

There are some historical periods that are so much used in stories to become boring, like, there's no more something interesting about them, right?

Wrong

Lucky (or unfortunately, depends on the point of view) stories tend to focus only on some aspects of history, leaving out all the rest.

But "the rest" is so fascinating!

Here are some prompts on how you can make overused historical times interesting again.

Ancient Rome

Especially last years of Republican period and first century of Imperial period

Tell the stories of women. This is going to be a recurrent advice but here I mean it with all my heart: talk about women, properly. Roman women between I century bc and II century ad had to face a lot and did it with great force and pride: they fought to be educated (and some of them started to work in law), some of them became writers (often uncredited, like Sulpicia), they had to face a law that punished sexual behavior outside of marriage (even for unmarried girls) and fought against them united, they obtained divorce (and divorced women started to be common after I century bc) and in imperial periods they obtained more civil rights. Some historians say that what they did was a feminist movement ante litteram. If you want a nice reality based prompt: when Augustus imposed a law stating that every woman (married and unmarried) that had sex with a person that wasn't her husband would be punished- apart from prostitutes, lots aristocrat women decided to go all together to sing up as prostitutes (even if they weren't) as a protest. They won.

Greek slaves. Romans had different levels of slavery and usually slaves from Greece were classified familia urbana: they had to work in the family of their owner/patron but had greater respect than other kind of slaves. They had to manage the family patrimony, educate the young members of the family (greek culture was fashionable) and help their patron at work. Usually after years of work they became libertus: freed people.

People who decided to put otium (making of art, literature, poetry and philosophy) before negotium (working in law or in commerce). It wasn't a lot encouraged and young people who did so were the "wasted youth" or the unproductive. Culture was seen as good only if it had a second mean like propaganda. Art for art's sake wasn't acceptable, and lots of young people fought for that. If you want a reality based prompt: Catullus and neoteros.

Bisexuality. Lots of historical fictions forget how much bisexuality was common in ancient rome. It wasn't seen as completely good (there were a lot of prejudices) but many of important figures were bisexuals (I'm looking at you, Cesar). Take this as an invite to make queer representation.

Victorian London

Talk about women (this is going to be a leitmotiv) in a different way. On one hand we have the Victorian idea of women (very oppressive) and on the other we have the rise of feminism with its different ramifications. Highlight this opposition and talk about women who had the courage to stand out.

Poor people and working class. Usually Victorian based fiction is about aristocrats or rich borgueis class but poor people had a more interesting story: the protests, police brutality, the rising of socialism, strikes, the first trade unions and the fight to make them legal, chartism and other attempts to be important in politics.

Queer people. Homosexuality (and other queer identities) was forbidden and punished with prison. Still, queer culture in the Victorian England is huge. This aspect can't go forgotten in history and fiction.

Immigrants. According to Wikipedia

there were about 2 339 000 immigrants in Victorian Britain, mostly from Ireland, Belgium, Germany and lots of them were Jews, but there were lots of immigrants from South Asia, China, the African continent and West India too. Telling their stories would be original and much needed.

The Golden Age of Piracy

You know what I'm going to suggest, right? Women! Yeah you saw it coming. Women pirates were a thing and we need to talk about them more often. Lots of them used male names and identities in order to be safe and revealed themselves only later (and often when killing their enemies as a way to state "you've been defeated by a woman, you sexist idiot") . Sometimes they were desperate and looking for a way of surviving that wasn't prostitution but I really hope that their story won't be only filled with trauma and suffering: they were badass, powerful and free. Celebrate them. Anyway, some of them could have been transmen and transmasc people and it's really important to not put a cisheteronormative gaze on them. Queer and trans pirates were a thing as well as women pirates.

Matelogate and queerness in pirates. Matelogate was similar to modern civil unions and stipulated between men: they promised to share everything and had legal (in the law pirates recognized) protection as a couple, and benefits too. Matelogate wasn't exclusively an agreement between lovers but it has been reported that almost all pirates who decided to matelogate had a romantic and/or sexual bond with the people they decided to commit to. I'm saying people because apparently (I still have to do deep researches about it) polyamorous pirates were a thing too.

Black pirates. Seriously, lots of people think that pirates were only white but actually there were plenty of nonwhite pirates and especially black pirates. Usually they chose piracy as a way to escape slavery but as I said with women pirates before: even of history is filled with pain, try to not focus only on trauma and portrait your characters in a non triggering way. Empower them as a way of giving them the justice history denied.

As you can see in this first part of my "retelling history posts" acknowledging parts of history that have been erased in mainstream storytellings is a powerful tool for creativity but it's especially a way of protecting part of history from the process of erasing who didn't have privileges.

Queer representation we need more of

It's Pride Month and libraries, entertainment platforms, webcomic sites and more are highlighting the queer contents they offer.

In the last few years LGBTQ+ representation had a joyful increment, but there's still a long road ahead us.

So here's a not exhaustive list of what kind of queer representation we need more in the media:

Queer representation that doesn't revolve only around the discovery of one's queerness

Queer joy and lack of trauma porn

A queer gaze (that doesn't hypersexualize and that normalized queer identities)

Historical queer rep

Queer rep in fantasy and sci fi

Queer characters who aren't white

Queer characters who are disable / neurodivergent

Queer stories that aren't set exclusively in North America or England

More trans people (especially transmasc)

Gender non confirming characters

More asexual characters (and, if they're not aro too, asexual characters in a healthy love relationship)

Bi /pan characters who aren't exclusively in a same gender relationship

Bi /pan men

More trans and gnc people in love stories

Trans characters who aren't straight

Healthy queer polyamory representation

More throuples

Queer families

Old queer characters (we want to see we have a future)

Adult non binary/ gender non confirming characters

Main queer characters in a story not target exclusively for LGBTQ+ audience

Three or more queer characters in the same story

Enemies to Lovers Trope Reimagined

I didn't fancy the enemies to lover trope a lot because I used to think it was only about people that hurted each other falling in love. But I found another shade of this trope (or a retelling?) that's amazing:

Enemies to lovers trope, but they were only taught by others they had to be enemies, never truly were.

They never really hated or hurted each other, they just thought they had to, but once they meet, they realize that stereotypes and society's expectations are wrong and they like each other and fall in love.

Here are some promots for this new intake of the trope:

They're in different factions of a war/conflict they never participated in. They only had vague ideas of the other factions as terrible enemies. When they meet, they don't know they're on different sides and start to like each other. When they discover that their factions are at war, they feel like they should be enemies but soon they feel like it's not worth it, and then fall in love.

They're of different races/nations/religions and from intolerant families. When they meet they feel like they shouldn't be close nor friendly but they never act in an hurtful way. They have to spend time together and as time passes they deconstruct all the stereotypes and hate they grow up with and realize they can be friends, or lovers.

They were taught at work/school/university/in politics/in events that they had to compete one against the other, but they soon discover that cooperation is actually a better option. And working together leads to lots of time together...

They're very good at sports and do important competitions. Their coaches want them to be competitive and aggressive toward the others (or the other teams if it's not a solo sport) but they never want to. When they do races/competitions/matches they spend time together and can notice how much similar they are, and how joyful it is to be close.

They fall in love with the same person that seems to like both in the same way. They think they have to fight for this person's love but the more they do it, the more they realize how similar they are. After comprehending that their fights are hurting this person, they agree on trying to get along and wait for this person to choose. But as they become close, they start to have feelings for one another. (You can choose if they fall in love and then forget the other person OR BETTER the other person loves them both, they're in love with this person and with each other-> a throuple is born)

"It was meant to be" trope: reality based prompts

Do you really like the trope where people meet by fate - for inexplicable reasons or strange coincidence - and seem to be destined to be together (friendship or romance or whatever) but you're afraid to be too unrealistic?

Here are some fortunate events happened to people I know (me included) that were the start of a beautiful friendship or romance:

• They had already met online 4 years before, really liked the other person but then stopped texting for reasons they couldn't control.

When they meet again years after and exchange numbers, they can't believe they had already talked and even missed each other!

• They were in the same school, never noticed. They only found it out when they met years after.

• They lived in different cities, about 600km distance, but in the same nation: they met due to a bug in a dating app (for context: it was grinder) that misplaced them and pretened they were close.

They stated talking and liking each other and kept texting when they discovered their distance.

A friend (that was completely unaware of what was happening) invited one of them to a holiday in the city of the other person!

They decided to meet in person only out of curiosity, 4 years after they're in a long term relationship and planning to move in the same city.

• One person had to go abroad (and really wanted to do this trip) but the plane was cancelled due to a terroristic attack in the airport few days before. To avoid the sadness this person felt, a friend invited this person to an event.

In said event this person met another and now they're deeply in love and in a long term relationship.

• One of them borrowed the other work (it was available to everyone that needed it) and forgot to cancel the other name. The name stuck in this person mind but they never searched it online. A year after, they met in person and fell in love. Well, they broke up and it wasn't a fair relationship to be honest, but the coincidence was good and worth using in writing.

• Well this didn't end up well (nothing serious, they only didn't like each other) but they both had to participate to a regional project involving about 60 people but one of them couldn't due to an illness. One year after they meet at an event and discover they had several common friends due to the project.

Love stories to write about: how queer identities can make storytelling more varied

Love stories are great if they're well told.

But despite it is the depth of characters, the healthy of relationships and the chemical between people involved that make a love story worth knowing, assuming that cishet man/woman, cis gay man/man and cis gay woman/woman are the only possible love story combinations can make romance boring.

By only opening up more to the queer world, you can find different love combinations that will lead you to interesting point of views. And if you fill it with all the things that actually make a love story good, you'll have great stories to tell.

Here are some examples on how you can queer relationships for the better:

cis man/woman, but they're both bisexual/pansexual

cis man/woman, but both ace

man/woman but one of them is trans (and the other can be straight or queer)

man/woman, both trans (they don't have to be both straight btw)

queer cis man/trans man

queer cis woman/trans woman

two trans women or two trans men

Non binary person ( gender assigned at birth doesn't matter but remember how varied gender non confirming people are) / queer cis man

Non binary person/queer cis woman

Non binary person / trans woman

Non binary person/trans man

Two non binary people

Three people all in love with each other ( be creative about their gender identity and sexuality, it can be any combination that would make them compatible)

One person in love with other two people that aren't in love with one another but are best friends (metalovers) and everybody is consenting ofc

Four people all in love with each other but that obviously share different level of platonic love or romantic love and could have or not a sexual relationship.

all the previous relationships but make them ace too

The combinations don't stop here: the queer world is varied and stories can benefit from them. Use your imagination, be aware of queer reality, always take in consideration consent and compatibility: you'll find out beautiful love stories to tell.

In the future (about 300 years from now?) humans can travel in space and have discovered other species.

Despite what humans used to think in the past, there isn't a universal alliance for the great good, but alliances for power, resources and peacekeeping to keep business go.

Humans are allied with a species that values work and rationality, in order to gain access to energy and a good price on technology.

Earth, meanwhile, is divided in 5 blocks that cooperate in the Human Alliance. It coordinates space travels too, and despite the different natures of travels, they all have in common the desire of redeeming the idea of humans as self destructive and inefficient (due to their past) by being strict, controlled and organized.

A woman (a trans woman, to be specific) on 4th block, the one that has some levels of poverty and difficult access to privilege but can still guarantee a comfortable life on earth, after years of hard work can be captain of her own ship.

The ship the Alliance gives her has the mission of exploring and maintaining relationships for business - as many others ships, nothing special. In fact, despite being a brilliant leader and having scored high on all the tests, she isn't much appreciated due to her origins and mostly her attitude: she firmly believes that it's kindness that makes human flourishing, not business nor hard control.

As a captain, she does all the things that the Alliance despises: her girlfriend- an high qualified person- becomes the second in command, the employees are more than strictly necessary to assure that everybody can have rest and be as stress less as possible, the work is forbidden at some hours to guarantee sleep, everyone has to attend the gym or the yoga courses or a session of meditation at least once a week, mental health services are always available and encouraged, the ship has a library, a room for movies, the art room, a room in which you can go if you want to play games with other people and every now and then there are events to entertain the people and keeping a good mood on board.

The captain herself encourages the forging of friendships and love bonds to make the ship crew united and loyal to each other.

In all the Alliance she and her ship is made fun of and disrespected in several ways, but her attitude and their lifestyle will bring then to live many adventures, and they won't be unobserved.

Other species will find in them a good example of peaceful dissent form the norms imposed by the so called "greediess of the universe", and they will be at the center of great social changes in all the universe- but they only wanted to live a peaceful life.

Almost 30 years old, a man lives a solitary life in a big city, too busy working and too shy to forge bonds. He feels inadequate and he's surrendered to failed relationship- whatever romantic, of friendship or familiar.

In the last 6 months he started to have vivid dreams: sometimes they were about trying to escape from somewhere he didn't recognize - it was more a feeling than a place. Other times he dreamed of places or people that didn't exist in real life. There were recurrent symbols and flash of lights in his dreams, and sometimes they appeared in his thoughts too.

The most strange were the erotic dreams: they started as vague and as time passed they became more vivid, and he recognized they were only about two people. Sometimes he dreamed of a woman with deep and bright eyes - they seemed like purple - and a sweet laugh he started to hear everywhere. Sometimes there was a man with a wide smile and that always spoke tender words, but there was something strange about him, as if his skin was electric.

Strange colors and strange feelings, but the most strange was the dreams: he kissed them and touched them, had sex with them but even walks, trips in unrecognizable lands, and plenty of smiles, talks and laughs. Sometimes he dreamed of them separately, other times together.

Those people became an obsession, he craved them like they were a missing piece of himself. He thought it was the aftermath of loneliness.

One day, he meets the man and the woman of his dreams right outside his office. He starts to cry uncontrollably and the two of them seem relived.

"You can feel if" says the woman " They didn't removed all of it"

" What? " he asks in tears

" Your memory" replies the man "you could feel that it was all fake, right? That the last 10 years of the life that you remember are made up"

" You left us only 6 months ago. What you're living is only the hypothetical life you could have lead if you didn't discover your magic at 19. They erased your memory because they wanted to erase your power. But they didn't erased all. You still remember us" the woman almost cries.

" Do you want to go back to your old life? "the man smiles.
