Title: Broken Heart of Gold Status: Incomplete Characters: Anon, Fang, Trish, Reed, Naser, Ripley, Samantha, Stella Rating: NSFW Classification: Series Author: Qquil Summary: It's been five years since the tragedy that happened at Volcano High and four years since Samantha and her husband divorced. Now Samantha is a shell of her former self, just barely hanging on by a thread and going on with life. Will she be able to fully move on from the past or will shadows from said past snap the very thread she's hanging onto for dear life? [NOTES] Hi, this is the first fanfic for, well, anything I've ever written, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of...how ever many I eventually decide to do. I wanted to write post E1 fic from the point of view of one of Fang's parents and I thought Samantha would be an interesting pick for this. The title of this fic is also a reference to the inspiration for what I wanted to do, the song Broken Heart of Gold by ONE OK ROCK on their Luxury Disease album. I listened to the lyrics while having other Snootfics in my head like Bad Apple by Umbruuh (which is really good by the way, go read it if you haven't yet) and then thought about Samantha and that her feelings after losing both of her children and coming to terms with it were probably similar to what lyrics where in the song. Give it a listen after reading and you'll see what I mean :) Yes, I did reference Persona 4 with the name of the place Samantha is working at in this fic, I just thought it'd be a funny easter egg amidst all the pain and suffering going on in this first chapter That purple raptor guy seemed alright despite his 'situation' wonder if he'll show up again :) You may have also noticed the other characters in the tags, well I got plans for them and you'll just have to wait and see what they are. Thanks so much again for reading the first of how ever many chapters of this new adventure for me and I hope you enjoyed it.
