Summary
1917. Peter Lake is supposed to be dead. But, miraculously, he’s not.
When he emerges from the East River, he’s been hollowed of his past, and his heart beats in musical perpetuity, and the decades pass through him like a fog as he desperately fights to recover the reins of his own story.
Peter Lake will wait a hundred years for this fog to thin out.
All the while, he madly struggles to recreate the faded picture of the only love he ever knew, now lost to his endless oblivion. The only thing Peter craves is to return to her, by any means necessary, and bring an end to his torment. Little does he know that Beverly Penn has never left him - and that his life, despite his rejection of it, still holds meaning.
Rated T for major character deaths, sensitive discussions, and occasional profanity
(This is part 2 of 2 of my own reinterpretation of "Winter's Tale" (2014), rewritten from Peter's perspective. I haven't read the book, so this is my reinterpretation of the events and characters that are present specifically IN the film. As I’ve stated before, I love this movie and I think it deserves a larger fanbase. So this is my homage to it, and to these characters.)Series

Summary
1917. The year begins with the death of two lovers. Peter Lake, drowned, lost to the sea he was born to. And Beverly Penn, poisoned, claimed by the happiness she had wanted for so long.
But winter keeps on blowing through New York City. And stars are falling from the sky. And coins glimmer in the half-light. And mosaics of chalk pool the streets.
A hundred years of confusion await both Peter and Beverly as they wade through the fog of time. Peter, stuck in the city with a miracle to deliver, and Beverly, bound to the light, protecting him. They will travel side by side, two halves of the same star, as they search for the missing piece that will finally cut their ties to the world that killed them.
Rated T for major character deaths, sensual content, and occasional profanity
(This is an AU continuation of "A Star in the Lake", this time with a dual POV - For the canon Part 2 of "The Peter Lake duology," check out "A Hundred-Year Fog".) -

Summary
(October 2024 - Currently editing this one before I jump in to start Part 2 again :3)
1916. Winter rules ferociously over the streets of New York. To the point that summer has all but faded from its citizens' memory. In the wind, miracles dance, fleeing the shadows, reaching for the stars.
And two unlikely people find each other. One, a pianist at the mercy of the weather, with starlight in her eyes. And the other, a thief, born of the sea, with nothing but questions in his pockets. Destiny binds them together, paving the way for a love story that will endure through an entire century.

(This is part 1 of 2 of my own reinterpretation of "Winter's Tale" (2014), rewritten from Peter's perspective. I haven't read the book, so this is my reinterpretation of the events and characters that are present specifically IN the film. I stay mostly faithful to the script up until Chapter 16, where I begin getting experimental. My writing is a bit awkward in the first 20-30 chapters, but I think it improves afterwards - I hope so, at least XD I know I feel more comfortable writing now.
I love this movie: this is my homage to it.)Series
