Summary
Ten years ago, Arkhelios’ “quiet” town was thrown into chaos when one of their beloved founders, Abraham Helios, was found murdered in the park one late night. With no real leads, and no laws as safety nets in place, the case went cold and the town hasn’t been the same since. Salem Bellamy stepped up to take over in Abraham’s wake, but the peace that followed is strained at best. With new complications on the rise, and the older generation fighting to establish a social hierarchy, the younger generation of residents struggle to find their place, and move on from their traumatic childhoods. But can one really move on, when what’s dead and buried doesn’t stay that way?
--
This is technically a sims story. Sort of. It does indeed take place in the custom Sims 2 neighborhood Arkhelios and may or may not end up involving mentions of known sims 2 characters, though none of them are main characters. Hence the choice to list it under Original Work first. -

Summary
The things Dustin was doing now—the jobs he took, the friends he had—they were things he'd have to lie about. But he didn't have a choice.
What else was he supposed to do, when he had not one, not two, but three mouths to feed in his house, and no one to take care of them besides himself?Series

Potentially Pleasantview Prologue (The Original Pleasantview Story redux) by potentialfate (statickismet)
Fandoms: The Sims (Video Games)
03 Jun 2025

Summary
A lot has happened in the five years since Bella Goth disappeared under suspicious circumstances—but that's only where the story begins.
Or, an anthology of sims stories surrounding the residents of Pleasantview, and the residing towns and cities. This series assumes the game begins 5 years after Bella's disappearance. Some of these works are previously posted from tumblr, just reworked/rewritten to not need their old images, some never got published in the first place, and some will be future snippets I still have yet to write.
Since sims stories are often soap-opera style, that's what you'll find here. These all exist in the same universe, but usually don't truly rely on each other to read. Most will have links to their previous/related scenes in the author's notes if you want more context though. And they work best in the chronological order listed. This is only the prologue.
Note: this series is mostly a rework of a sims story on tumblr, and is slow to update, and does not have a definitive end point or resolution as a whole. (though some plots do have ends in mind.)

Summary
What she had left, was Mortimer's to have. It couldn't be helped that it wasn't whole anymore. At least Mortimer understood. At least he had pieces missing too.
Looking down at her hand, she rolled the gold inlaid band around her ring finger and wondered if it was worth it to even try to keep something that would inevitably be taken from her too soon.
