<p>After a long night at work, Zaria Joseph finds herself faced with the unbelievable. Knocked out of her own universe and into another, she has to traipse through the tropes on a long road heading, hopefully, toward home. Armed at first with only her polite manager's smile and her...mostly calm demeanor, she makes her way through worlds she didn't know existed outside of books. Knowing the stories inspired by the worlds she is traveling through won't help, though. Reality can be very different than fiction...</p> <p>Due to the nature of the book, there will be tone and POV type changes across the different arcs. Arc 1 has been described to me as a satire, and, honestly? That fits. Every other paragraph at times you get poked in the eye with a trope from the stories that world is based on. And it might be somewhat light and romantic, but it won't last. Things will get serious, and things will get dark...</p> <p>Trigger Warnings:Violence, mild mature physical affection (make-out scenes), assault, death, mention of rape/sexual assault, anxiety and PTSD, dark subjects like captivity</p> <p>**Author note: This story, as with every story I write, was a challenge to myself to write outside of my comfort zone. I don't like 3rd person omniscient, I find it dizzying at times,but most of the stories I have read that inspired the first arc are all 3rd O. One day I know I will go back and rewrite the whole arc to change to limited. For now, the story is as it was when it was when it was first completed. After that arc is over the POV will wobble a few times as the MC recovers from her time in that world, but it will mostly become limited with a few exceptions.</p>
