Beauty of Life Series Reference for FanFiction Stories
Introduction
I have two Beauty of Life series, the one on FanFiction which is based on FP and my published version available on Amazon. The timelines of each series differ because as I recrafted the FF stories into full-fledged books with tons of new content (and necessary changes), I found that it was unrealistic how much happened in Dan's first two years.
This reference is for the FF stories. I do not have a reference for my published books as of yet since I am currently writing book 7, GUARDIANS: Mission to Rescue Innocence.
You can find my published novels on Amazon by searching for Laura Acton in books or going to amazon"dot"com/author/lauraacton (replace "dot" with a .) for a complete listing of my novels The first six books are available in ebook and paperback versions.
- FORSAKEN: On the Edge of Oblivion (Beauty of Life, Book One)
- SOLACE: Behind the Shield (Beauty of Life, Book Two)
- BELONGING: Hope, Truth, and Malice (Beauty of Life, Book Three)
- OUTLIER: Blood, Brotherhood, and Beauty (Beauty of Life, Book Four)
- PURGATORY: Bonds Forged in Hellfire (Beauty of Life, Book Five)
- SERENITY: A Path Home (Beauty of Life, Book Six)
- Work in Progress: GUARDIANS: Mission to Rescue Innocence (Beauty of Life, Book Seven)
For the FF stories, I have received numerous requests for Braddock Family tree, character profiles, ranks, the chronological order of stories including Alpha Injury ones, etc. from my wonderful readers. So I thought I might try and provide something that would suffice.
This will definitely be a work in progress because it is a HUGE undertaking. Initially, it will just be a framework to get something out there for readers to reference and for me to make edits and updates too as I have time.
Due to the time-span and interwoven complexities of my stories I have been trying to figure out the best way to present this, one that would make sense. Not sure if it is the best way but I have picked a path and hope that it works for you. At this point I have decided to break out the references in Chapter form as follows:
1. Introduction and Chronological Order of all BoL stories - includes all Alphabet Injuries, Because of You, Unacceptable Nap Locations and Team One Guardian Angel short stories and snippets
2. SRU Teams
3. Braddock Clan (biological and marriage)
4. Military & Military Connected (includes ex-military)
5. Family Members of SRU & JTF2
6. Good Guys and Gals - Non-Military
7. Bad Guys and Gals - Non-Military
8. Hostages, Innocents, Others & Animals (focused on the minor roles)
9. Callaghan Family
10. Guardian Angels
Several characters can fit into a couple of areas, like little Ben, Matt's son. He starts out as just Daphne's and Matt's son, Sam is an honorary uncle but then Daphne marries Adam and Ben becomes family via marriage. So where best to put him? I think he will end up in the Braddock Clan chapter under the nephews and nieces section.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts on this I'd be happy to hear them.
Chronological Order of all fanfiction BoL Stories
Stories are placed based on present time of the story but several have significant chunks of previous memories. I've chunked this section into three area Pre Series, During Series and Post Series.
Trying to add a few details for each story in case you are looking for a something in particular. Each story will eventually include the following:
- JAM meter: the state of Sam and Jules relationship during the story
- Team: who is part of Team One (not necessarily who is in story) and in later stories other Teams that Sam is part of (Three and Two)
- Unit: main unit buddies in the story, Patch/Jim will be listed here even if he is no longer in JTF2, Matt if alive or memory is significant part of story
- Clan: Braddock clan members with significant role in the story
- Plus: other special people in Sam's life that have significant role in the story
- GAs: Guardian Angels only if they make an appearance in the story
- Synopsis: key elements of the story - tried not to give too much here just a taste.
