Okay so, this is a bit of long shot but I'm planning on starting a fanmade project for TE. It's my favorite choices story and there's still so much you can do with it.

I'm currently figuring out how to use Ren'py right now and watching videos and what not to figure out how to do this. I'm pretty new to all this but I think it'd be a fun project.

I'm probably gonna do some of the writing like the plot and Shreya's route (best girl) and also as I said I'm figuring out the coding as well.

But I'm definitely gonna need some help on this. I know others have expressed interest in a 3rd book and now is your chance if you're willing to help. Again it's fanmade and we're not making money off of this, this is just for fun and you can bail at any time.

I'll be making a discord once I start to get some interest in this so the link will be up at some point but if you're interested, just comment saying you'd like to help and what you'll be able to provide for this project.

Co-runner- I'm gonna need someone to help me run this project, help me keep the thing running and I'm a bit of an idiot so I'll be coming to you if I need help with anything. You'll be the Atlas to my MC lmao.

Artist- If you're a good drawer or you just love to draw and wanna help out on this project, we'd love to have you. I'm thinking we'll need some new characters for the plot and if you want, maybe some new backgrounds too (or we could just pick ones from the multiple backgrounds choices already has)

Writer- I'm a lesbian and obsessed with Shreya so I don't really have any idea about the other routes. But I know a lot of people are obsessed with like Beckett and the other love interests so anyone willing to help work on the different routes would be great. Not to mention the plot of the book, the adventures the pend pals could be getting into and side stuff like your relationship with your mom and the villains and such.

Coders- Like any great game, we'd need people who can code or wanna try it out like I'm currently doing. I've always heard Ren'py is good for that stuff and that's what the ILW crew used and that's what I'm currently learning right now so if you wanna try it out or already know how, we'd appreciate the help.

And of course, if you just wanna help out, you can join and I'll figure something out for you to do. My work schedule is kind of whack right now so this week we probably won't be getting anything done unfortunately (maybe Thursday or Friday if I have people and what not) but hopefully the week after, i'll have things figured out.

Last but not least, my idea for how I think the plot should go-

The gang is back for their next year of school

MC, Shreya, Zeph, Beckett- Juniors

Griffin- Senior

Aster, Atlas- Sophomores

But just like always, the school year is never simple for them.

The High Attuned has been watching over the school and visiting more frequently, keeping an eye on you and Atlas.

Zeph is having trouble with Thief captain as much as he hates to admit it.

Griffin is having parent troubles after they found out about his interest in Natural disaster field work instead of being a professional Thief player.

Shreya has hired an assistant to help with Serene and Sublime, though the assistant keeps messing things up and causing Shreya to lose customers, important ones at that.

With Beckett's urge to please his professors, he works himself too much to the point he begins to experience burnout and freaks out over the smallest things resulting in him pushing his friends away.

Aster is having trouble running the shop and keeping up with her studies and she's worried she might have to close it down.

Atlas is happy to catch up on lost time with their mom but when their mom becomes a professor for the school, Atlas isn't exactly sure how to feel about it and starts to lash out on Theia, resulting in the MC to have to try and fix the relationship.

MC does their best to help everyone with their problems but begins to have problems of their own when the school recruits another sun-att who does everything in their power to one up MC in every way.

Of course, it's just a rough draft of how I think the year should go, but we could always change stuff around if people have better ideas. Also, of course, there will be new spells to learn like in the other books and I was also thinking like...was I the only one that shipped Dean Swan and Theia together? Like Dean Swan already acts like a mother figure to the twins. And some of the sources will be back like Gemma and I really wanted to incorporate the High Attuned because we got like two minutes of information about them and then nothing ever again.

So yeah, this is super long and we can talk more on the discord but if you're interested just tell me what you wanna do.

❝Welcome 'home'❞

A writing drabble, in which Jocelyn & Nova take Atlas to their home for the summer holidays...

(This is REALLY long... Like REALLY long, so long it has borders to separate sections.) (also if it's ooc, I'm very sorry. I wrote this at 5-12:00 PM lols.)

It was a long ride. They went from going from mirrors to a 2-hour ride in a personal chauffeur on the hillside.

All that filled the outside world of the car, was trees and fern. The occasional baby blue of the sky peeking out from branches, but only barely. The cool air of the AC inside the Rolls Royce, the flipping of pages, and the occasional shifting in the leather seats was the only thing that stopped the silence.

Atlas blew a piece of his silver hair out of his face as he looked dead on. He was looking around the car curiously. Having never been in one, he was surprised at how pleasant it actually was. Though he didn't want to admit it, the heated seats were cool.

Atlas was sitting in the middle. Arms folded. His legs were pressed together as his twin Jocelyn was sitting on his left blasting music through his headphones, and his 'sister' Nova was sitting on his right and reading a book.

As the trees cleared up, Jocelyn smiled brightly. He turned the music on his phone off before putting his headphones on his neck.

"Atlas, look!" Jocelyn pointed out the window.

Following his gaze, Atlas looked at the gigantic mansion made of logs and stone walls. It had a giant pathway that went from the massive wood patio to the two grand doors. All the lights inside were turned on, the inside looked like it was covered in amber. It was right next to a lake and in the hills. Incredibly secret.

When their chauffeur dropped them off, they stood in front of the massive doors as their bags were being taken care of by butlers.

"jeez..." Atlas looked up. Almost breaking his neck as he tried to look at the top of the mansion.

"it used to be bigger, but daddy and mummy thought it would be too big... So now instead of 5 stories, it's 3." Nova looked at Atlas, then she looked ahead and walked up the patio.

She knocked on the door.

A few minutes later, Another butler opened the door.

"ah, Miss Depp, welcome home..." He opened the door fully, so they all could get in.

"You too Mr Depp," he welcomed Nova and Jocelyn in with a smile.

He eyed Atlas through his bushy grey eyebrows before giving him a gentle nod as he saw his blocked-off posture.

"hello as well, Mr...?"

"Erndhart. At least that was my caretaker's last name," Atlas responded before letting himself in.

The butler shut the door after them.

"Then hello, Mr Erndhart"

The inside was just warm colours and the smell of hot chocolate everywhere. Atlas looked around, almost shocked.

As he looked, the inside was a mix of wood and marble. With a conversation pit in the middle of the entire place, a TV mounted on the wall, and high ceilings covered in a painting. On the side was a table that had 4 candles lit up next to a picture of young Jocelyn and Nova with their parents, a bowl full of mints and candies, and incense burning.

He took his shoes off with everyone else, as he looked around more. There was so much ground to cover, so, so, so much.

Nova flopped on the conversation pit couches whilst Jocelyn immediately went upstairs on the grand marble staircase that was on the left side of the main foyer that led upstairs. Atlas was more overwhelmed than anything; there was so much to take in and so many places to go to.

The heat inside made him feel comforted at least.

He slowly walked around, finding himself outside again in the backyard. The floor was stone as it was right above the lake the mansion was situated on. There was a thick log railing and torches of heat as the flames flickered in the slight wind.

He walked toward a currently lit-up outside fire that was in a deep pit and surrounded by cobblestones. Sitting in a plush cotton chair, he looked at the blazing red as tried to understand that this was what Jocelyn lived in his whole life.

Instead of a basic house, Jocelyn lived in a mansion, surrounded by butlers and maids, huge areas to play in, and 2 caretakers that let him... Live.

He found himself clenching his hands into fists, as his eyebrows furrowed. His parents babied and coddled him in luxury, instead of teaching him how to take care of himself. He also felt a tinge of... Shame. He found himself thinking about how his life would be, how he would act if he was wrapped in a blanket of diamonds and gold like Jocelyn since birth.

Maybe he'd be more posh and dramatic. Or maybe he'd be the same, but just grown up Attuneless.

"Oh, I didn't expect anyone else to be out here..." A husky voice rang from across the area as footsteps clicked on the stone.

When Atlas looked up, he saw a man with dark brown skin and dreadlocks pushed to the side looking at him. He was wearing linen pants and a satin shirt with a thick fluffy cotton scarf around his neck. His leather shoe heels clacked as he sat down across from Atlas.

The man took a quick look at Atlas, before smiling.

He was holding a few branches and a bag of marshmallows.

"ahh, you're Atlas. Jocelyn's twin, it's nice to finally see you..." His voice was gentle.

He opened the marshmallow bag, the smell of sweet sugar filling the air, as the man put a marshmallow on a branch and put it over the fire.

"I'm Cole, Jocelyn's father..." He slowly turned the branch as the flames licked up the sugary soft cube.

Atlas simply looked at him, confused and a bit annoyed. [Why the hell would you cook something so sugary over a fire?] He thought.

"caretaker, you mean." He simply said, blankly.

"Eh. To-may-to, to-mat-to" Cole responded.

The marshmallow turned a lovely dark golden brown as Cole finally took it out of the enclosed inferno. Taking the sticky gooey goodness off the stick and putting it in his mouth. Some of it got on his thick moustache and beard.

Atlas felt the urge to punch him. He was just so calm, and remembering how he and Jocelyn's other caretaker barely trained Jocelyn for Raife kept filling his mind.

"Why didn't you train Jocelyn to protect himself." He asked.

Cole looked up at him, a frown on his face as he swallowed the marshmallow in his mouth.

"Before Jocelyn was old enough, me and my wife found out that Raife was supposedly dead. And honestly, we really didn't want our Jocelyn to grow up so scared and hardened..."

Cole looked down at the fire as he continued, "So when we heard that, we just... Decided to raise Jocelyn as if he were normal... Well, he is normal. He's my son."

Atlas looked at him the entire time, leaning back in his chair. He was still annoyed, but he felt faint pangs of jealousy hit him whenever Cole said "Our Jocelyn" or "My son". No normal caretaker would do that, but... Maybe he just didn't have any experience with other caretakers besides the ones he grew up with, whom trained him into an experienced attuned.

He looked down at the clenched fists for a moment, that sat in his lap. His knuckles looked whiter than his vitiligo patch on his hand, and his arm trembled a little.

He suddenly got up. Cole simply smiled at him.

"I'll see you later Atlas, I'm glad you and my other children are okay." Cole then took another marshmallow and started the roasting process again.

────────────

Inside, Jocelyn was having a hot cup of Coco with Nova on a marble kitchen island. Sitting on Rose Gold stools.

Atlas had jammed his fists into his leather jacket pockets, as he approached.

"what's that? It smells... Disgustingly sweet." He smelt the chocolate, and almost grimaced at how sweet it smelt, "is there pizza rolls?"

"oh, yeah, it's in the freezer, Atty." Nova pointed to the bottom section that was separate from the fridge.

Atlas went over and opened it, with some difficulty. When he finally pulled it open, his eyes immediately widened.

4 separate packs for Pizza rolls, apple pie, dim sum, and lots of meats in plastic packaging; there were also chicken nuggets and a HUGE amount of ice cream.

"fucking hell." Atlas eyed it all. A bit intimidated. Who the hell has so much money for so much stuff? And he almost drooled at the amount of pizza rolls he could fire up and eat. Jeezuz.

He hesitantly grabbed one full pack out of the freezer, before kicking the freezer door shut.

Atlas held it in his hands as he grabbed baking paper from a drawer in the kitchen and placed it on a tray. He quickly grabbed it from the sink. It was bone dry.

Atlas opened the box and poured out 15 pizza rolls onto the covered tray. He grabbed it with one hand as she went to the humungous oven. Opening it, he put the tray in and shut the door. He took a guess and put the oven on 200° Fahrenheit.

As the pizza rolls cooked, Atlas looked around the kitchen. It was massive. Absolutely massive. When he looked in the pantry, every single shelf was packed to the brim with food and dry snacks. And the fridge was full of fresh vegetables and fruits and cold delights like chocolate.

He was more overwhelmed than he first was.

[who the fuck needs this much food!?] He thought as he slowly walked away, seating himself on one of the stools.

He was sat next to his twin brother, Jocelyn, who was looking at him with a grin.

"So... Do you like my home?" He asked, his excitement flaring in his eyes.

Atlas side-eyed him before muttering.

"it's... Alright... I guess..."

Jocelyn smiled wider when he heard that.

"oh wait, I forgot- you haven't seen your room! C'mon!" Jocelyn got up, chugging the rest of his hot chocolate (to the dismay of his sister).

He grabbed Atlas' arm, and he ran off to the main foyer to get to the stairs.

When he got to the stairs, he almost tripped twice as he skipped 2 steps in his long stride.

Upstairs in the second story, Jocelyn walked Atlas down a long hallway and into a big room.

It smelt strongly of jade and lavender. The room was plain, cremes and greys and blacks filled it. What caught Atlas' eye was the fact the bed was a double-kind size, and it had its own curtains on it... Which was unsettling. Anyone could go into his room and he wouldn't know.

Jocelyn pointed to the door that was on the right wall.

"you see that door?"

"yeah?"

"it leads to my room!"

"..."

Atlas' eye twitched.

"Are you fucking serious?"

"yeah. Mum and Dad wanted us to be close together after they heard that you're protective of me" Jocelyn responded.

Atlas couldn't believe it. Even in a mansion as huge as this one, he couldn't be somewhat away from his own brother. He had to deal with it though, as this would be his life for the next month.

Atlas walked over to the bed, touching it with his hands. He almost fell onto it as it was so plush and soft and dipped in his weight already. Atlas sat on the edge, and he felt himself dipping low into the bed. The blankets made it look much bigger than it was, volume-wise.

"you like it?" Jocelyn asked.

"no."

"I mean you could ask a butler to change it if it's that bad... But then again, you've never been in such a bed, so... Maybe give it a try?"

Jocelyn looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He then looked back out the doorway that he was leaning in, and saw the window outside was dark and full of stars.

Jocelyn promptly walked to the right wall of Atlas' room and opened it.

A huge light of pink blinded Atlas. He covered his face with a hand, squinting.

"jeez! What the fuck?"

Jocelyn didn't respond as he closed the door, Atlas removed his hand from his face. He looked ahead at him.

[oh shit, my pizza rolls] he remembered. He quickly got up and walked out to go back for his food.

────────────

In the kitchen, Atlas had all 15 pizza rolls stacked on a plate in front of him.

A woman was having some tea as she talked to Nova. She had a short fluffy bob with white streaks in the front of her bangs. A mole underneath her right eye, and her skin was tan in the warm light.

She looked at Atlas for a moment, her eyes going to the plate.

"So, you like pizza rolls." She stated, taking a sip of her tea. "I'll keep that in mind."

Atlas put a hot steaming pizza roll in his mouth and ate it. Cheese and tomato sauce melted on his tongue as he looked at the woman with a narrowed look.

She simply looked back at him with a blank look.

"I'm Sherry Depp, Jocelyn and Nova's mother. And I'm keeping that in mind so the next time we need to go shopping, I'll get some for you." She took another sip of her tea.

Atlas looked her up and down. She was in a Valentino white skirt, black heels, and a white blouse. She exuded an 'emotionless rich mother' in his mind.

After swallowing his pizza roll, he looked back at his plate.

"Are you just gonna stand there?" He asked.

"yes. I have nothing else to do than be with my kids." She shrugged. Looking back at Nova and giving her curly hair an affectionate pat.

Nova was reading her book still, flipping pages and inserting her bookmark on each page. Sherry looked at her with an affectionate gaze, though her face didn't display a smile. How subtle yet easy it was, to know what someone actually felt, solely through looking at their eyes.

Atlas continued eating his snacks, slowly. Savouring the taste of each one. Attuneless food tasted amazing in simple ways. No Magickal component to anything, only flavours and combinations that are kept with one sense- taste.

As he appreciated the pizza rolls, Sherry left as she got a phone call, her talking inaudible, and she left to go outside.

Having eaten all his food, he felt sleepy. Maybe it was all the incense burning, the lights, or just the atmosphere of comfort. He didn't know, and he knew he'd be annoyed if he tried to know- so he didn't.

He got up, blinking as he walked off to the main foyer, going to the staircase and walking up... One step at a time...

────────────

In the bathroom, Atlas brushed his teeth with the new toothpaste and toothbrush he got. Brushing away all the sauce stains from the food he just had.

He was in cotton pants and a shirt, and he was brushing his teeth gently. From one tooth to the next, the top/bottom of the teeth were brushed, even behind. It was weirdly nice. Brushing his teeth with minty minty paste, and then going to bed.

As he finished brushing, he cleaned his toothbrush in the sink, before putting it beside the cup of toothbrushes. He leaned down and spat out all excess toothpaste and yuck in the sink, before taking a drink of the water and swishing it in his mouth- before spitting it out again.

He stood up, looking at himself in the mirror for a brief moment before he turned and left the bathroom.

[my mouth feels clean... Hm...] He thought as he made himself to his room.

Shutting the door behind him, he made his way to his bed. Pulling the quilts and blankets off of it, so he could slide in. Staring at the ceiling as his head rested on firm but soft pillows, the mattress was great for his spine as he wasn't directly sleeping on the ground anymore in a sleeping bag.

Laying in bed, feeling how soft it all felt on his body, he felt uncomfortable. Moving around, kind of hoping to find a bag position to sleep in... But he couldn't. This bed was too good. He felt as if he was being spoiled and if he should sleep on the floor.

However, the carpet on the floor felt a bit thick and fluffy as well.

He turned on his side, the mattress dipping even more as he settled on this. He closed his eyes, and if he was still awake- he would be amazed at how quickly he fell asleep here, instead of needing a few minutes to keep his eyes closed before falling asleep.

...

Zzz...
