Title: Unbreakable - Surviving the Truth
Author:
Josephin
Category: AU, M/L
Rating: ADULT
Editor: Gigo

Summary: The UNBREAKABLE Saga is the tale of lost civilizations, aliens, hybrids, secrets and the forced bridge between two worlds. But mostly, it is about love. The forbidden love between a hybrid boy and a human girl.

Max, Michael and Isabel were part of the rich and popular crowd at Roswell High. The intelligent, yet respected, Liz moved in different circles, preferably avoiding the aforementioned trio at all costs. Until that Halloween party, which changed everything.

Liz used to joke about there being something different and dark about the beautiful triad; what if she was right? What if the small town in New Mexico hid terrible secrets and repeatedly silenced the truth? Had a small town girl stumbled upon a dangerous cover-up?
*****
This is the third book in the UNBREAKABLE Saga. Hence, to avoid spoilers, there is no detailed summary of what is to come in this book. Links to the previous two books are found below. If you have not read them, do so before reading this one.

Solar Eclipse
Rating: PG-13 up to mild NC-17
Category: M/L
Summary: Everything up to ”Max in the City” has happened. Liz is starting to get sick and no one knows what’s wrong. Simultaneously, she is haunted by nightmares - are they premonitions of the future or just dreams?

Workings of Destiny
Category: With focus on M/L, but also C/C
Rating: PG-13 up to R for language and sexual content
Summary: This fic is based on a challenge by Dia (the girl with the many ideas). It basically is a love story with some complications (just to make it interesting!) Honestly, I don’t really know where this fic will end so I’ll guess you just have to follow me on this journey to find out.

Workings of Destiny
A/N: This fic is not revised and was one of my first, so be gentle... :oops:

Lethal Whispers (OLD VERSION)
Category: M/L, AU
Rating: MATURE (Maybe up to mild ADULT...)
Summary: Elizabeth Parker was special. Strange things had happened to her during her childhood, but she had repressed them all to a state of denial. It was all safely tucked away until someday something happened, and she found herself in deep danger...

Author’s note: This fic is based on a challenge by Dia. There are some aspects in the challenge that I need to fulfill – but otherwise I have no clue myself to where this fic will end up, as with all of my other fics. But one thing I’m very clear about – feedback! It’s what keeps my fingers typing.

This story has been rewritten (see "Lethal Whispers (rewritten)"), which means that this first version will, due to the lack of inspiration, never be completed in its original form. If you still wish to read the "old version" - even though it'll never have a proper ending - you're free to click on the link below.

Broken Wings
This fic I'm co-writing with the amazingly talented Anais Nin...

Authors: Anais Nin (a.k.a Lynn) and max and liz believer (a.k.a Josephin)
Rating: ADULT
Summary: Max and Liz vowed to stay best friends forever, and to never let each other down. Yet nothing ever lasts forever and feelings tend to change - develop. Max doesn’t want to lose his lifelong friendship; he doesn’t want to lose Liz. He thinks he knows her, but there’s more than what meets the eye…

Agonizing slowly, but surely, they drift apart, separated by their secrets – his feelings for her, and her home situation. Then, one night, Liz shows up at his window, sobbing uncontrollably, covered in blood. She begs him to come away with her, leave Roswell with him. And so they flee into the night, leaving everything and everyone behind…

Authors' note: Okay, so we decided to write a fic together :D It’s based on a challenge by Ripley and was originally based on the song Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. The titel “Broken Wings” is from another one of Martina McBride’s songs. This fic is partly about abuse, and at some instances it can be pretty dark and depressing. When it gets really difficult, just remember that we are both big dreamers, and this fic is blessed with a definite lovely Dreamer Insurance. This is our first attempt at co-writing and we’d appreciate any form of feedback – long or short.

Love By Any Other Name
Category: AU M/L
Rating: ADULT
Summary: Max Evans has been married for two years. He and his wife are blissfully happy and have a beautiful two-year-old, but this all changes one fateful night. Liz Parker has a serious heart condition and without an immediate heart transplant she will die. Max and Liz’s lives are about to change irreversibly by the actions of one drunk driver.
Author’s note: This story is based on a fantastic challenge by the even more fantastic Deejonaise.

Mnemosyne's Daughter
Category: M/L
Rating: MATURE
Summary: Everything up to and including “The Departure” has happened (with some minor alterations) – or did it? Six years after a shooting incidence at the Crashdown in Roswell, New Mexico, Liz Parker is attending college with her best friend Maria DeLuca, and Liz is haunted by dreams. Dreams of a dark-haired boy she used to have biology classes with in high school. As the dreams continue to interrupt her life, Liz starts to question her reality and what she knows is true. Was no one injured that day in September or do Liz’s dreams about her being shot and healed by the secretive boy harbor some truth?

Prodigal Son
Category: M/L
Rating: MATURE
Summary: Following the alteration to Liz and Maria’s memory, the I-know-an-Alien-Club is forced to live with the consequences and adjust to a life where pretending that two of their friends are strangers becomes reality.

Due to the numerous questions left unanswered in "Mnemosyne's Daughter" I decided to write a companion piece, portraying the situation from Max's (and the rest of the gang) side.

Prodigal Son

Kiss Me
Category: AU M/L
Rating: TEEN
Summary: A kiss between two strangers

Author’s note: “Kiss Me” by Six Pence None the Richer was played on the radio and this popped into my head. A short one-parter.

Kiss Me

Snapshot
Category: AU M/L
Rating: MATURE
Summary: It started with a pacifier. Liz Parker might have just been a toddler, but the war was nevertheless on. It did not help matters that her sworn enemy, the pacifier-thief, became best friends with her big brother, forcing them to occupy the same areas on more than one occasion. Would they ever declare peace or would they go on fighting forever?

This story is supposed to be fairly uncomplicated (compared to my other stories). It's snapshots of Max and Liz's lives, having more or less grown up together. And then of course, there's the undeniable background noise that is Max and Liz. Since it's snapshots, it will jump in time. But I'm going to be very specific in dating the chapters and will try my best to not confuse you. If I do, let me know, okay? And I'll sort it out.

Lethal Whispers (rewritten)
Category: M/L and some M/M
Rating: MATURE
Editor: Gigo

Summary: Elizabeth Parker was a gifted woman; her intelligence both impressive and unnerving to the people she encountered in her daily life. Ms. Parker was plagued by odd nightmares at a fairly young age, inhibiting her possibilities for a great life. The night terrors featured a strange terrain, a dying lover and herself - losing her baby over and over again. Unbeknownst to her, her life was about to become threatened in real life, her prospective dark future inadvertently sending warning signals to a stranger. The premonitory visions experienced by a man of alien ancestry would eventually bring the two together, introducing Elizabeth Parker to a world she never thought to exist.

Author’s note: I started writing on this story in 2003 - 12 years ago - and while simultaneously writing on a lot of my other fics, I lost my inspiration for this one. While being on RF, I always promised that I wouldn't leave any fics incomplete, so here I am with a remake of "Lethal Whispers". To jumpstart my inspiration I rewrote the whole thing, so even though there is still a version of this story in the "Dead and Buried"-section, this story will be slightly different and hence replaces the "old version".

UPDATE - 1st September 2006

Recent status of my fics; (links to the stories can be found above)

Solar Eclipse

After 4 years of writing (most of this time was actually spent not writing :roll:) I've finished "Solar Eclipse". This was my first Roswell fic and I cringe when I read the first chapters (e.g. I spell 'hey' with an 'a' instead of an 'e' :oops:), but fortunately it got better... I'm really proud of this story and I'm intending to revise the first couple of chapters...someday.

Love By Any Other Name

After some months of no writing (Uni got in the way...and extended periods of no inspiration didn't make things any easier either) I'm on a roll with this story, making this the only story I'm currently updating.

Broken Wings

This is my co-writing project with Anais Nin. However, due to school, Stefanie (Anais Nin) told me that she is unable to continue writing and left it up to me to finish the story. I don't exactly have much more time than her to write, but since I refuse to leave a story unfinished I decided to finish this story on my own. "Broken Wings" is currently in the Dead and Buried-section, but I am writing on it right now. However, I want to write all the chapters to the end before I bring the story back to life, so that you, my dear readers, won't have to wait for updates.

Lethal Whispers

This story is one of my personal favorites, but unfortunately I have zero inspiration. I have my moments of trying to sit down and write a couple of sentences, but it's really difficult to force inspiration. Hence, "Lethal Whispers" is in the Dead and Buried-section and will remain there until I can find my way back to the story I want to tell. As I've said before, I will never leave a story unfinished. I will continue on "Lethal Whispers", but I'm still waiting for my muse on this one...


Okeydockily... That's all for now!


Love,

Jo

I'm working on "Broken Wings" at the moment. I'm almost up to date with the reposting and I'm currently writing on new chapters. So maybe...just maybe... I'll finally finish that one.

And I'm watching "Mr. Bean" tonight. Yay. Love Mr. Bean. Anyway...

Edited to add:

I was nominated "Superhero of the month" (March 2007) at Roswellian Chronicles.
