[WIP] FLCH

Written By Anya Marie Whitmore

Status: Work In Progress

Some people leave home. Some spend years finding their way back.

Fourteen years ago, Beau Harper left town with a basketball scholarship and a future that carried him farther from home than anyone expected.

Now he's back.

The gym still smells the same. His parents still leave the back door unlocked. The porch light still burns after dark. But the life Beau left behind didn't stop when he did.

Then he meets Dolly Walker—a sharp, basketball-obsessed fourteen-year-old who seems perfectly at home inside his parents' kitchen.

And somewhere between old photographs, familiar routines, and the woman he once loved, Beau begins discovering just how much of home has been waiting for him.

Universe Connections

Walker Family Story

Connected to:

  • Black Thorne Hotshots

  • Nate Walker

This story exists within the larger Daughters of Violence Universe, exploring a quieter corner of the world through family, memory, grief, and the people who find their way home.

I would not publicly mention that Dolly is Beau's daughter here. That's one of the central pieces Beau doesn't know in the established premise, so the page can preserve that discovery.
