    Summary

    When one child goes unpunished after getting the other in constant trouble, resentment is bound to bloom among siblings.
    Max knows exactly how to get her awful stepbrother Billy in trouble. Pranks lead to an all-out war between them, until Max winds up getting him in more trouble than anticipated and learns just how brutish his father, Neil, can be...
    Neil's actions help her realize Billy might be the way he is for a reason.
    With a change of heart, Max wants to be the friend Billy so desperately needs. But it might be too late to fix things between them. On a mission to see another side of him, she searches for a way past his armor to be his strongest ally... instead of his worst nightmare.
    Can Max fix things—or is it too late?
    Contains disciplinary spankings and child abuse.

    Readers often comment this is the emotional, realistic, well-written, true-to-canon, relationship-focused Billy and Max redemption fic they've been looking for.

    Summary

    Holly may not be the son that Mama and Papa had endlessly tried for to carry on the Joestar name, but she wasn’t quite as dumb as a tack. She wasn't useless or weak, either. Nor was she anything but a Joestar at heart.

     

    AU where Holly's Stand manifests and is more powerful than anyone suspected.

    Summary

    Anne thought she knew fear, when she hitchhiked away from the only home she ever knew, to set off on a journey most kids her age could only dream of. She thought she knew fear, when she snuck aboard that strange little boat as the sailors started loading their cargo, stepping over oyster shells and puddles of brine to tuck herself between stacks of damp, musty-smelling boxes. Surrounded on all sides by lapping waves, bottomless ocean, and sitting quite literally under the feet of a pack of strangers with the power to do some real, genuine harm. Only having the letter, her knife, and the thrill of adventure in her heart to soothe her nerves.

    She thought that was scary enough.

    Being discovered by that terrifying captain, chased by hungry sharks while trying to escape, and held captive by a giant invisible sea monster the passengers kept calling a 'stand' was decidedly worse.

    At least the weirdo passengers turned out to be good guys in the end.

    (Or, the tale of the Stardust Crusaders, told from the perspective of a random little girl they accidentally picked up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.)
