Only A Fine Line Lies Between Space and Time by Cori_Cat21
Fandoms: Keeper of the Lost Cities Series - Shannon Messenger

Summary
*Rewrite of Fic to add more lore and slow down the pacing*
SPOILERS AHEAD: Please don’t read if under 18, or haven’t read the series all the way through “Unraveled”. If you don’t like gay ships, back away from this fic, cause there will be a lot of them. SOKEEFE FOR LIFE!!!
When Lady Gisela arrives in Elysian and kills Vespera, Sophie stops holding back. Sensing the world bending around her to her will and consciousness, she ends up accidentally falling through time. All the way to the moment when it all began.
She shouldn't have been nearly so surprised though, after all, only a fine line lie between space and time, and she makes leaps through space nearly everyday.
Thankfully, though, Sophie doesn’t have to face the difficulty of time travel all on her own, because - as usual - Keefe ends up falling into this new type of crazy with her.
And this time.... No matter what happens, team Foster-Keefe is going to win.

Summary
The Lost Cities don't care. Not about you, not about your family. Not if you're different from the perfect little mold everybody seems to fit into. Ruy Ignis has always known this. He knew this when he was expelled from Foxfire, and he knows it now he's been ejected from Exillium with nothing but the clothes on his back and a broken ankle. But even in the uncertainty of the Neutral Territories, he finds hope in the form of Lila Vittorio - a Shade hardened by her life's many misfortunes. The two of them forge a bond out there in the wilderness, lasting through bone-chilling winters, an overly romantic Guster, and their induction into the Neverseen.
How much can people change? Let’s find out.

Summary
They finally did it. They took down the Neverseen. So now everything should be okay, right? Except the Council hasn't changed anything and no one is pointing out how wrong it is years later. Except two incredibly tense exes, an awkward couple who doesn't know how to be a couple, a social and political pariah, her emotional support shade and a pyrokinetic whose completely in love with her best friend. That makes for complete chaos, especially when no one is getting along and the tension is beyond palpable.
No one has talked to Keefe for ages except or Rayni and Tam who are the only ones who wanted to give him a second chance after everything with Alvar so imagine their surprise when Sophie, Dex, Biana and Marella reach out because no one is pointing out how not okay everything is.
Meanwhile: Fitz, Linh, Stina, Maruca and Wylie can't figure out why they're not happy. They've been given a pass. They've been given peace. And after all the fighting, isn't that what they wanted? Why wouldn't they take the opportunity to finally be normal?
But they can't be normal. None of them can no matter how hard they try and sometimes empires must fall.

Welcome to the cult of Dionysus by orphan_account
Fandoms: Keeper of the Lost Cities Series - Shannon Messenger
05 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
I'm feeling devious
You're looking glamorous
Let's get mischievous
And polyamorous
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the cult of Dionysus
-The Cult of Dionysus
(Song by The Orion Experience)
In myth, Dionysus arrived last to Olympus. Too human, too strange, too soft-mouthed for a throne among gods of reason and law. They called him mad. They called him dangerous. They were right.
He taught his worshippers ecstasy and ruin, broke the bones of kings, crowned misfits in ivy. He was the god of wine and theatre, yes—but also of unmasking. Of shedding the roles the world forces you into, and dancing barefoot into the wildness of who you truly are.
Alvar Vacker never believed in gods.
But he understands now, perhaps too late, what it means to belong to a cult of beautiful ruin.Alternatively titled: What if Neverseen’s most unstable were in a highly entertaining but also problematic relationship.

Summary
Alvar is thirteen when he starts to find it comforting, the aftermath of each explosion, as they were rarely too close together. His father has to muster up the energy to care about him once more, and by the time he does Alvar is all but due for another screw up anyway. Being the subject of his father’s ire means his father is actually paying attention to him rather than making him feel like a particularly irritating piece of furniture, which has to be worth something, however fucked it may be. The aftermath is the most peaceful, Alvar can simply exist for a little bit until it all cycles back around.

The Gift—The beginning of Amends by AndrasteVirago

Tags
Summary
There’s not enough Sophie & Oralie Mother-Duaghter fluff or Sophie & Kenric Father-Daughter fluff or Sophie & Bronte Grandfather-Grandaughter fluff so this series is more about familial love with Sophie and her incredibly illegal family as well as her going through some peaceful and happy character development that doesn’t involve major trauma.
Summary:
In which Oralie and Sophie talk and move towards making amends.
Please note that this is a part of an AU series based off of an unpublished fic.

Summary
In Which, an Avid Keeper of The Lost Cities fan is Reincarnated as Fitz Vacker—and he may not be able to stop his family from falling apart, but he’d be damned if he let any of them go evil.
Now all he needs to do is ‘search’ for the Moonlark wherever his father sends him until he eventually finds Sophie.
Still, it’s rather had to focus on that with your Homophobic father breathing down your neck and an annoyingly handsome boy named Keefe Sencen plaguing your soul.

Neverseen Incorrect Quotes by orphan_account
Fandoms: Keeper of the Lost Cities Series - Shannon Messenger
16 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Just a bunch of incorrect quotes with The Neverseen and others.
Btw some of these I came up with, and some of them I found and edited them. Credits to all those wonderful people out there that made the originals.
And why yes, I'm going to try to aim for 1000. I won't make it, but still.
Update: Screw it, it's only 500. I'm worn out and it got harder and harder to make up/find more scenes for the characters to be in.

Sophie Two Electric Bugaloo by CursedCorvine

Summary
“You’re the Moonlark?”
“Yes.”
“They said she was good!”
“Yeah, well, surprise.”Or, when a Gen Z wakes up in none other than Sophie Foster’s body, they decide to change how the story goes. And by that they mean assisting the Neverseen, and telling the Black Swan and the Council exactly where they can shove it. Secrets are brought to light and multiple laws are broken. But when has a Gen Z cared about that anyway?
I’m not gonna lie to y’all. I love KOTLC, but Sophie is honestly an idiot some (if not most) of the time. The first book came out in 2012,and she is twelve in it. That means she was born in 2000, and is a Gen Z. But she lacks our iconic depressed spunk. So I decided to give her it.

Summary
So a couple days (weeks? Some unit of time) ago, I started seeing posts about Garwin Chang on the Tumblr. Now, knowing fandom, there was a very strong need for shipping to occur, and so Garvar (Garwin + Alvar) was created.
Now me, being the dumbass that I am, let them rent a room in my head and, well, I wrote chapter one in three days. We'll see where this goes.
As for the actual story concept (an important thing when writing), these are going to be mostly canon compliant (basically the same level of compliancy as kotlp if you're familiar sith with that) except instead of being 150k words, it's going to be a number of loosely connected scenes because I don't want to write the connective tissue.
So for our first chapter, we have to base canon somewhere, and given that Garwin has a grand total of 59 words of pagetime, the first chapter is going to be a retelling of his first and only scene from his point of view. (I also threw in some extra bonus canon parallels so if you feel the need to analyze this on a deep level, I expect to see those in you essay /j)

Summary
Inspired by CryMeARiver3465's gorgeous fic, Pieces to Your Every Puzzle.
“Now, I don’t have much time, but I’m here to make you an offer. How would you like to change the world?”
“What?” Taken off guard, Alvar stared uncomprehendingly at him.
“There are organizations in the Lost Cities that aim to fix our world - fix the council’s mistakes,” Fintan explained. He leaned forward, his eyes piercing Alvar’s. “I’m part of one such organization. I’m taking a risk by telling you this, but I’m doing it anyway because I think you’d be a valuable part of our group. You understand what that would entail, right?”
