When Samantha Joseph was younger, she never expected to make it to her 18th birthday. When she was 13, she ran from her abusive father and wound up getting adopted by one of her own heroes. Tyler Joseph and his wife Jenna had taken the teenager in when she had landed in their backyard that fateful night. Samantha's life should have gotten easier after that, but life decided to challenge her. In the five years she has been living with her new family she has endured not one but TWO kidnappings, a severe head injury from a fall, a car accident that ultimately led to the loss of her right leg, and a sexual assault by someone she trusted. One of her biggest fears however was her adoptive parents would send her away. And now they have. But this time, it's Samantha's decision. After five years of turmoil, Samantha is going to spend her Senior Year of High School in California with two of her other favourite people in the world. Brendon and Sarah Urie.

Samantha Joseph proved to be one of his most challenging and yet rewarding patients. David Freud enjoyed working with her, seeing the fruits of his, and her, labours he watched as the timid 13-year-old foster child of Tyler and Jenna Joseph transformed into a strong and confident teenager, adopted by loving parents, surrounded by loving friends and family and working her way through the many traumas her life brought her. But who is David Freud? Where does his story begin? Where does his compassion come from? Does he, maybe, see the similarities between his own upbringing and Samantha's?…

Samantha Joseph has had a run of bad luck. A car accident in the fall, while on a weekend trip with her adopted father, Tyler Joseph (yes, THAT Tyler Joseph) ultimately led to the loss of her right leg, leaving the teenager, a star basketball player on her school team, questioning her value in life and to her family. Her parents, Tyler and Jenna, and her sisters, Rosie and her new baby sister, Junie, along with her myriad of honorary "uncles" and "aunts" helped Samantha come to terms with her new life. Now things are starting to look up for Samantha. She's found a new basketball team that accepts her disability as par for the course. And her school team is also willing to accommodate her needs. Life is finally going Samantha's way. And Samantha has her whole family to thank for turning her into... Ms Believer.…

Abby Stong, now Abby Urie, thought a summer tour with her dad, Brendon Urie, the lead singer (and only remaining original member of Panic! At The Disco), would be one of the greatest things ever. A whole summer, just her and her dad? She couldn't wait. But Abby soon realizes that touring isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, she has Kala to hang out with, and at a few of the shows, she's met other kids of other performers, but what Abby didn't expect was how little time her dad would actually spend with her. Abby doesn't understand why Brendon would adopt her, only to practically abandon and ignore her while on the road. Brendon couldn't be happier that he was back out on the road performing for his fans, and he has his daughter, Abby, to thank. He wishes he could spend more time with her while they're on the road, but the tour, the demands on his time, the journalists that want to know about the past two years, how Brendon came back from the brink after the death of his beloved wife, and how his new daughter fits into all that has happened in the past 24 months.Can Abby and Brendon figure out how much they still need each other, even when one of them is busy and the other is trying to come to terms with their new life?…

17-year-old Astrid is your typical teenager. Okay, well, not *exactly* typical. Astrid is a werewolf. She and her family are members of the Crescent Moon Pack, one of the biggest and most influential Packs in the region. Astrid's family is well liked and respected. They don't hold any high powered rank in the Pack, though her father and brother train with the Warriors of the Pack, and Dustin, Astrid's older brother, seems destined to join the rank of Warrior after the Blood Moon Ceremony. Astrid, on the other hand, is eagerly awaiting her 18th birthday. The day werewolves experience their first shift, and maybe find out who their Mate will be. Astrid isn't expectIng much, probably a low-level Pack member. She's mostly excited that her birthday coincides with the Blood Moon Ceremony and other local Packs will be in attendance. Astrid did not, however, expect that her mate would be someone the least likely to notice someone of such a lowly standing in her Pack. Even less, she did not expect it to be Callum Major, the Bright Moon Pack Alpha's son and soon to be Alpha. The Bright Moon Pack was the only Pack with higher standing than the Crescent Moon Pack. Their Alphas oversaw all the Packs in the region. Their Alphas were Kings, their Lunas Queens. And never in the long history of the region had the Luna Queen come from a different Pack. Will Astrid accept her Mate? Will her Mate accept her? Is Astrid willing to leave her Pack and her family to become Luna and Queen of the Bright Moon Pack?…

After Sarah died last year, Brendon Urie didn't think he could, or would, ever find love again. He stepped out of the limelight, stopped making and recording music, and basically stopped living. His friends and family kept trying to help him through his grief, but Brendon's life ended the day he buried his soulmate. Little did he know, a night at the Santa Monica pier was about to change the trajectory of his life. Thirteen year old Abby Stong just wants a life that isn't full of pain. In foster care since her mother died when Abby was 4, Abby hasn't known stability for nine years. In nine years, she's been in 14 foster homes. This last one, might just be the death of her. But one night at the Santa Monica pier, the trajectory of her life is permanently altered. What truly makes a family? **AUTHOR NOTE - PLEASE READ**I hold absolutely no animosity towards Sarah. I would hate for what happens in this story to happen to ANYONE. Sarah's death is simply a plot device and I don't want anything to happen to either of them. Abby, is obviously a completely fictional character.**THANK YOU**…

She loves music of all types, the beats that she feels in her soul. She has no use for lyrics, though. Callie is deaf. And because she's deaf, she has zero expectations of ever getting adopted. After all, who wants a 12 year old they can't understand? One with a dark secret.A/N: The artist, Mary Anna Rapazzo, is a real artist in Los Angeles and is really Deaf. She's a brilliant artist.

Samantha Joseph has had a rough life and a slightly less rough, but more turbulent, past couple of years. Her life really began when she ran away from her father, to escape yet another beating, and wound up in the back yard of none other than Tyler Joseph of Twentyone Pilots, and his wife Jenna. Through a myriad of strange and terrible events, the Josephs adopted Samantha. But their fight to keep her didn't end there. A kidnapping, a near drowning, a new baby sister, a biological uncle who popped up and then a life threatening accident (or two) kept the family from knowing stability. Finally, after so many trials and tribulations, it all seems to be finished. The Josephs are a family. Legally, and forever. Samantha is thriving and growing and becoming the person her late biological father seemed to want to destroy. Is it true? Can the Josephs finally relax and be a family?…

Brendon and Sarah Urie are having a baby!! The vros are as excited as the expectant couple and all their friends and family. Brendon plays music to Sarah's expanding stomach. He sings to his growing child. He can't wait to share his love of music with his baby. He's a cute little chap when he's born. He has daddy's brown eyes and mama's brown hair. He's got the goofiest of grins. He's a good baby. Doesn't cry too much, rarely fussy except when he's tired or hungry. All in all, he's a good baby. But there's something... not quite right. His language development doesn't match his peers. What does that mean?…

When we last left Samantha Deitz, she'd been adopted by Jenna and Tyler Joseph, had met a bunch of their friends and had been taken by who was supposedly her new social worker. Except her so-called new social worker said something that made her realize, too late, that he wasn't her social worker. Who is the man who knocked Samantha out? Does he know Jenna and Tyler? Or does he know her birth father, Stanley Deitz, who was one of the ten prisoners who escaped when their prison transport crashed. Where is Samantha? Where is Stanley Deitz?…
