FANFIC BY Kristen Sheley ( 44 )
Adventures on the High Seas (-)  This story was actually online for a while, but I never liked it. I tried revising it, and it still seemed lame, so I took it down when I started really overhauling all the stories in college and 'wrote it out' of my universe. Some people lamented it's disappearence, but I don't regret the decision. This story is an example as to why it's a lame idea to write a tale based on only one vivid mental scene. |
| Another One of These Damn Kids Jumped in Front of my Car! (-) In which Sam Baines has a most unfortunate accident with a strangely attired kid.... |
| Back to the Future Part IV (-) This would be my very first BTTF story -- and novel-length story -- ever. I wrote it when I was 13 and 14, an 8th grader. It is so incredibly cringe-worthy to me, but at the time I was extremely proud of it. And also lacked any original title. The time is the Civil War, 1861, and Doc summons Marty to help him get Clara back, who has been captured by a Tannen. In the meantime, Marty botches up his great-great-grandparents' courtship. Blatantly unoriginal, though I still dig the psuedonym I selected for Marty -- Rhett Butler. |
| Back to the Future Part V (-) The next story after the above one, written when I was a freshmen in high school. Cringe-worthy, again. Aspects of this plot and of the BTTF4 one ended up later being hybrided to form what became 'The Time Travelers in King Tannen's Court.' Which, I think, worked a loooot better.... Doc, his family, and Marty are stranded in the middle ages for a bit because of a time machine mishap. Marty pisses off a Tannen, and comes down with pneumonia. Yawn. |
| Detour to the Past (-) On his way back from an errand in the future, Marty accidentally crash lands in the past--1886, to be precise. With the DeLorean damaged to the point of being out of commission, Marty has no choice but to look up Doc Brown, now married to Clara for a year. The couple are also expecting their first child--Jules--at any day. Doc starts the repairs on the time machine immediately, but still believes that Marty won't be able to go back home for at least a week. While killing time with the Browns during the course of that week, Marty hopes frantically that the baby won't be born until after his departure, since he is unsure if his presence could affect that. Things go well for most of the week--but then, just days before he is to leave, Clara suddenly goes into labor.... |
| Dream a Little Dream of Me (-) In which Marty has a persistently creepy dream about Clara -- and attempts to hide his problem.... |
| First Impressions (-) In which Marty and Doc react to one another (and other things), during the first weekend in 1955…. |
| For All Time (-) After the scare Doc Brown received from Jordan Smith (see 'Future Shock'), he has decided to go back and make certain such an event will never take place by destroying his family's records and replacing them with doctored ones in the correct times and places that would correspond to the cover story that those in Hill Valley know. But when Clara makes a shocking announcement that both rattles the scientist and prevents her from accompanying her husband on the task, Doc enlists Marty's help to rewrite the Brown family history. Things go well until the team is captured in New Jersey during the second World War and accused of being spies. Now, in prison with the Brown records under lock and key, can they get them back and escape before time runs out? |
| Future Shock (-) After missing an important record company audition with his band, Marty is convinced that he'll never get anywhere in the music buisness. With Doc Brown assuring him that his future is 'just fine,' and that he shouldn't worry about it, Marty decides to go back and make sure he reaches the audition on time--a task easier said then done. While outside the lab late one night, trying to see away around the elaborate security precautions that Doc Brown has installed in both the lab and time machines, Marty sees Doc go in the lab and in the cellar. While the scientist is in the cellar, Marty is able to sneak in and get in the DeLorean to wait out Doc's time in the lab without him knowing. Unfortunately, Doc takes the DeLorean (with Marty hiding inside it) to the year 2017 to run a quick errand. Marty takes the time machine back to before the audition, fixes it so he'll make it, and after returning to 2017 decides to get out and see how much his future has improved. While he's out of the time machine, Doc takes it back home, unaware Marty's been left behind. While the teen turns up missing in his present, Marty discovers that his future has changed, all right--and not necessarily for the better.... |
Haunted by the Past (-)  Although the concept for this story came to me in Spring 2000, I did not sit down to write it actively until December 2003, when I had outlined the whole sucker in a week. It went 'like a house afire' for a couple months, then 70 pages in...wham! The Wall. I picked it up to work on a bit last year (2005) for a spell, and then let it go again. (That progress from 2005 -- one and a half chapters more -- is not here yet.) Of the three 'on hiatus' stories, this one has the largest chance of being completed eventually, I think, which may be why it's taken me a while to put it up here. This one is also the longest of the 'on hiatus' works, with six lengthy chapters laid down (excluding the additional work I did in 2005). |
| HVC Volume 1: The Accident (-) In which something goes terribly wrong getting the DeLorean up to speed.... |
| HVC Volume 2: Three's a Crowd (-) In which the inventor and the schoolteacher become engaged...and Marty struggles with life in the 1880s.... |
| HVC Volume 3: The Newlyweds (-) In which Doc and Clara marry.... |
| HVC Volume 4: For Better or For Worse (-) In which Doc and Clara recieve an unexpected surprise.... |
| HVC Volume 5: ...And Baby Makes Four (-) In which the trio cope with the arrival of a new baby.... |
| In Due Time (-) Taking place six months, or so, after 'The Family Way,' this basically covers the events around the arrival of Marty and Jennifer's kids. |
| In Flux (-) While Clara and Doc Brown are away at the hospital to have their third child, Marty McFly comes over to keep an eye on Jules and Verne and entertain them on their last day before their family gains a new member. But after he nixes a suggestion by the boys to see a popular video that all the kids at school are talking about, they break into their father's lab to take one of the time machines and go back to the weekend it opened on the big screen, five and a half years before. While outside the movie theater, they run into the Marty of 1982, with his friends. At first, the group agrees to help the boys sneak in, but when that plan falls through and they are left outside, along with one of his friends' younger sisters, Emily, they find their own way in. Afterwards, the boys and Emily entertain themselves in the mall until they're located by her very frantic older brother and his friends. When Jules and Verne return home, they are shocked to find their father and mother both dead, their town different in some startling ways and Marty's life altered -- for the worst. Somehow, someway, they changed history so the scientist and teen never met. Can the kids figure out what went wrong and fix it before they're history? |
| Killing Time (-) In which Marty gets to deal with the aftermath of Doc's fainting spell.... |
| No Place Like Home (-) When Doc installs some updated circuits to the train and recruits Marty for a quick test run, the musician figures why not? It's been the first time in weeks he's had the chance to visit his old friend, and the date couldn't be more fitting -- November 12, 1995. The test seems to go fine, and the duo return home -- but it's vastly changed, and their repeated attempts to get back simply drop them into a variety of parallel universes. There's the one where Marty is a seedy rock star. The one where Doc never read Jules Verne, or devoted his life to science. And the one where the two find themselves the subject of a... film?! With the machine exhibiting no obvious, outward signs of malfunction, the travelers can only hope to run into a version of Doc with another working time machine and knowledge of parallel universes who might be able to help -- before time catches up with them and they become permanently stuck in a world not their own.... |
| One Saturday Afternoon (-) In which Marty and Doc have a conversation one afternoon in 1982.... |
| Orgy, American Style! (-) There are some places where friends should never meet. This is one of them. |
| Partners in Time? (-) When Doc Brown takes advantage of Marty's help one time too many, Marty blows up and the two have a huge argument. After a week passes and with neither speaking to one another, Jennifer Parker contacts Clara and the two hatch up a plan to get the guys together again by spending a week in the past. Clara convinces Doc that the both of them need a vacation in 1692, Salem, Massachusetts. Meanwhile, Jennifer is forced to borrow the sleep inducer to get Marty in the DeLorean and in the past. The women leave their men behind, with the idea that they will make up with each other within the week. Once there, both Doc and Marty end up at 'The Goode Inn.' To pay for his stay, Marty is hired by the innkeeper to do some odd jobs, wheras Doc has enough money to pay for his room and board. On the second night there, Marty's complaints about Doc are heard and misunderstood by a friend of the innkeeper's daughter. The next thing Doc knows, he's in jail under the accusation of being a witch. Though Marty feels guilty for his unintended involvement in Doc's arrest, he's still mad at him. Will Marty overcome his grudge and help his old friend--or say nothing and allow Doc to be hung as a witch? |
| Return to the Past (-) When Jennifer gets sick and misses the prom, Marty decides to borrow the DeLorean time machine and go back to 1885 to pick up a gift for her that he saw on his previous trip back there a few months before. Unfortunately, he's caught by Jules and Verne in the process and forced to bring them along with him. Back in Hill Valley on the eve of September 7th, he passes himself off as 'Clint Eastwood's' identical twin brother, since Eastwood was supposedly killed in a train wreck earlier that day. Marty rents a hotel room in town for himself and Doc's kids, intending to stay the one night and leave the next day, after purchasing the necklace. Despite Marty's warnings, late that night, Jules and Verne sneak out and meet their future father. Doc doesn't realize that 'John' and 'Mario' are his future children because he believes Marty destroyed the DeLorean in the future. The next morning, Marty discovers to his dismay that the necklace has been sold, and a new shipment is not due until the following week. At the same time he is reluctantly signed up to promote the gun that his 'twin brother' used against Buford Tannen in the showdown. The day after the photography, the day they intend to leave, Marty falls ill suddenly. The kids get their future parents, unsure of where else to turn, and the medical doctor gives Marty a grim diagnosis. Later that night, a nearly delirious Marty decides to make a break for the DeLorean so he can get back to the future and recover. But then he runs into escaped outlaw Buford Tannen, who has revenge on his mind.... |
| The Chicago Story (-) This story has been in progress since the summer of 2000. It's the 1920's story I've mentioned from time to time, and is the missing link between 'In Flux' and... well, the tale below. Basically, Marty and Doc visit 1928 in Chicago and fall in with some unsavory characters. Inspired by playing pool a lot my junior year of college, with my roommates. I've worked on this story on and off at random times. Last time was just last fall, I believe. Someday, I vow, it will be finished.... Currently, this story has 4 chapters -- but Chapter Four is not complete. |
| The Curse of Great One (-) Desperate for a good grade on a report, Verne drags Marty and Jules back with him to learn about the Egyptian god 'Great One' to the time when the mythical figure was supposed to arrive. It's his intention to interview this so- called god and use that information for his report. They arrive in the past in the middle of a sacred ceremony and it is discovered that the Great One is really Marty! The three of them are taken to the Egyptian King Amenemhet and given a personal servent to attend to all their needs -- Tannenan, an ancient ancestor of the Tannen lineage. It is the King's belief that Great One will end the long drought if he is treated right, putting an enormous pressure on Marty's shoulders. Meanwhile, Marty recieves a mysterious necklace from one of the locals. At almost the same time he finds himself being plagued by hideous nightmares and sleepwalking out to the middle of the desert. Scared and embarassed, he tries to hide his problem from Jules and Verne. In the meantime, Verne is watching Tannenan suspiciously, certain that he is up to no good despite the servant's loyal service. The answer to Marty's mysterious nightly stolls and dreams, along with Tannenan's true colors, are revealed to be all connected to the mystery of an Egyptian King and the location of his tomb and treasure.... |
| The Easy Way (-) In which Lorraine Tannen frets over her son, who has made a mysterious appearance in town.... |
| The Engagement Story (-) I started this story in June 2001, though the notes are considerably older. It would go between 'The Chicago Story' and 'The Future Ain't What it Used to Be.' This covers Marty's proposal to Jennifer (hence the nickname of the title), and the misadventures that ensue. I kind of consider this my 'BTTF Meets Indiana Jones' story, and I hope to God no one hangs me for being un-P.C. or stereotyping or whatnot.... I actually know exactly how the next chapter is going to begin, I just haven't found the time to write it out. Typical. Currently this story has the first 4 chapters done, and waits for me to begin Chapter Five. (Which I know how I will start, but... yeah, I just haven't yet.) |
| The Family Way (-) In December 1997, hoping to give his pregnant wife some relief from her morning sickness, Marty accompanies Jules, Verne, and Emily on an afternoon trip to the Hill Valley of 1912 in honor of Emily's recent birthday. But when a medical emergency forces them to stay longer than planned, and seek the help of the local doctor, they find themselves suddenly interacting with Emmett Brown's parents... and making changes they never intended in the lives of the young couple. |
| The Future Ain't What it Used to Be (-) Less than a week before his wedding to Jennifer, Marty comes down with a case of mono and panics. Since the illness doesn't have a fast cure, there's no way he can be rid of it before his wedding... can he? Doc, seeing his situation, decides to help him out and takes him to the year 2030, where a simple shot will make him better in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, a serious accident delays their trip home, and while they're in the future, they see that it ain't what it used to be.... |
| The Hill Valley Chronicles (-) This is a side project/spin off from 'No Place Like Home,' one of my longer fanfics. Kind of a 'what if' miniseries. |
| The Lost Treasure of Juan de la Vega (-) When a magazine about a lost pirate treasure falls into Verne's hands, he decides it would be a great idea to go back to when the treasure was buried and collect it himself. After selling Jules on the idea, the two boys plan to sneak off with the DeLorean late one night and return without anyone noticing their absence--and, hopefully, much, much richer. Marty and Jennifer, however, stumble on the boys as they're preparing to leave and Marty invites himself and Jennifer along on the ride. Jennifer isn't very pleased with this, but comes along anyway, mostly to postpone an upcoming language exam at school. The trip is hardly an hour old when disaster strikes and the group is kidnapped and brought aboard a pirate ship--the same one, coincidentally, that Verne had been reading about. Now, Jennifer finds herself at the unwelcome end of the pirate captain's affections, Verne is drawn into the dangerous and exciting world of pirateering, and Jules and Marty are made virtual slaves on the pirate crew. Can they all escape and get back to the future before time runs out? |
| The New Invention (-) In which Doc finishes his second time machine and decides a trip to the future is in order.... |
| The Other Great Mystery of the Universe (-) In which Doc has to make an important choice between his first love -- and a girl.... |
| The Pair O' Docs (-) When Doc contacts Marty at the end of a long workshift and tells the teen to come over immediately because of an 'interesting development,' Marty imagines all manner of various disasters -- but even he can hardly believe his eyes when the scientist plays him a survellance tape of the lab, showing what appears to be Emmett Brown himself pushing his family into the steam train time machine at gunpoint. It appears that an Emmett Brown from a parallel or alternate dimension has landed in there's and claimed Doc's family -- and one of his machines -- as his own. Something must be done, immediately; it's clear that 'Doc B,' as he is dubbed, is unbalanced and has mallicious intentions for changing history -- and Doc's own family. Using a tracking device, Doc and Marty take the DeLorean and follow Doc B through the ages, from Ancient Greece, to the Middle Ages, to the era of pirateering, all the while trying to prevent Doc B from changing history -- and then a terrible accident forces them to confront, firsthand, the world that breeded Doc B... and the surprising truth on who he really is. |
| The Ripple Effect (-) While discussing 'great regrets' in life with his girlfriend, Marty McFly decides to do something about his. He takes the DeLorean and travels back in time ten years to convince himself to do a risky event that he had originally passed up -- and since regretted. But when Marty returns home, expecting to find things the same, he discovers a world where he was killed from that event. His family doesn't know who he is. Jennifer's never seen him before. And Doc still hasn't invented a time machine. Can Marty fix things before it is too late? |
| The Runaway Train (-) Late in the summer of 1986, record temperatures hit Hill Valley just as summer vacation hits a lull for Jules and Verne, both restless and yearning for some excitement. Meanwhile, Clara is sick of housework, and Marty is depressed over Jennifer's long absence from a summer job, craving a distraction of any kind. So when Doc's latest experiment blows out the power -- and the air conditioning -- in his house, he decides it's the perfect excuse to get away for a week, while the repairs are being made. With Marty in tow, the Browns -- and Einstein -- take the train back to the small town of Stange, Ohio in January 1855 and locate a rustic inn, deciding it to be the perfect location for their week-long stay in the past. The second day of their stay, however, a wealthy plantation owner from Mississippi shows up at the inn and takes an interest in Clara. His name? Leslie Tannen. Tannen doesn't mind that Clara is married with children and seizes every opportunity he can to be alone with her. But when he takes the game too far and Clara lashes back, he decides it's time to do things his way -- by force. Later that night, when Tannen shows up with a false document ordering the arrest of Clara, the time travelers slip away in a secret passageway adjacent to their room, joining up with a group of slaves who are running away to freedom in Canada. By an amazing coincidence, they were once Tannen's property and want to lose him just as much as the Browns and Marty do. Over the next few days the group is pursued relentlessly by a desperate Leslie Tannen who will stop at nothing to get his slaves -- and the woman he wants -- back in his hands.... |
| The Ship of Dreams (-) After experiencing over a week of a strange, increasingly vivid, reoccurring dream involving a little girl crying out for a toy, Marty goes to Doc Brown for some help and advice. Doc decides to try out a fairly new creation of his out on Marty--a device that is able to interpret brain waves into words and, in short, record dreams in a written format. After a few false starts, the device works and both Doc and Marty, along with an enthusiastic Jennifer, discover that Marty's dreams are about an incident with a relative of his aboard the Titanic on the night it sunk. But when this discovery fails to end the dreams--and, in fact, increases them--Doc reluctantly agrees to a trip back to the Titanic that fatal night to fix what apparently went wrong and hopefully end the dreams. But despite all the precautions taken to not change history and to keep them from accidentally being a part of it, something goes terribly wrong when a new addition to the DeLorean works a little too well. Are Marty, Doc, and Jennifer now stranded on the sinking ship? |
| The Space Zombie From Planet Vulcan (-) In which Marty and Doc hatch a plan to scare the living crap out of George.... |
| The Summer of '69 (-) When Doc Brown surprises Marty on his high school graduation night with a gift of two tickets to 1969's Woodstock Festival, he is floored. Taking his girlfriend Jennifer along with him, the two of them take in the sights of the historic music event and befriend a young hippy couple expecting their first child very soon, Aura and Stormy. One night, while Jennifer is out for a walk alone, Stormy runs into her, panicked. Aura is in labor. While Stormy fetches a doctor, Jennifer stays with the young woman and is forced to deliver the baby--twins, as it turns out. A few days later, when Marty and Jennifer return to the future, they discover a different world then they had left. Doc Brown's farmhouse is abandoned, Marty's parents are split up, and Jennifer works at a local biker bar for Biff Tannen! What did they do that caused this new world to happen? Can they fix it? |
| The Time Travellers in King Tannen's Court (-) Nearly a week after the last (for now....) Back to the Future movie leaves off, Doc Brown returns to 1985 and pays an urgent visit to Marty McFly. It seems while staying in the Middle Ages, Clara was taken prisoner by the king of the villiage and Doc needs Marty's help to smuggle her out. Unfortunately, something goes wrong in the escape attempt and Marty is taken captive, too. However, King Midas Tannen decides to let him go AND free Clara -- on the condition that Marty 'Robin Hood' McFly competes against him in a tournament two days away. If Tannen wins, he will marry Clara. But if Marty beats him, she will be able to return to her family. Marty agrees, as it is the only way for him to be freed, returning to Doc's place with the news. Doc, along with help from his sons Jules and Verne, begin a rigorous training with Marty to skill him in the arts of jousting, sword play, and archery. The day of the tournament dawns and it is a close game--but with some luck (and a little help from technology!), Marty is able to defeat the King. King Tannen keeps up his end of the bargain and returns Clara to her family, even throwing a party in 'Robin Hood's' honor to show there are no hard feelings. Unfortunately, King Tannen has a few ulterior motives up his sleeve.... |
| Tremors in Time (-) Doc Brown takes Marty back with him to San Francisco, 1906, with the intention of getting Clara a special birthday gift -- a custom-made clock -- at a place that will soon go out of buisness. While waiting for the clock to be made, the two of them stay at the Parker Palace, an elegant hotel that happens to be owned by ancestors of Marty's girlfriend. It is there Marty meets Jane Parker, the daughter of the hotel owner and a young woman who bears an uncanny resemblence to his girlfriend, Jennifer, at home. Having had an argument recently with his girlfriend, Marty finds himself instantly attracted to Jane and the feeling is mutual. Unfortunately, neither Doc Brown nor Marty realize the significance of their arrival date -- April 17th -- until it is too late. The devistating earthquake hits the city early the following morning, but Doc and Marty are able to come away from it without harm. Unfortunately, shortly after the quake, Jane is killed in an accident, leaving Marty grief-stricken and guilt- ridden. Later, after they return home, the trauma of experiancing the 8.3 earthquake, gives Marty a bad case of insomnia. Doc decides the best thing to do is go back to April 18th and experiance the quake again, with the idea that Marty facing his fear will cure him of it. But Marty has differnet plans. After the quake hits, he slips away to the crippled city to see Jane again and this time do what he didn't the first time -- save her life. When he and Doc return to the future, they discover an empty and dead version of their hometown. Research turns up that Jane Parker's subsequent life has had far reaching effects on the entire history of the world. Which leaves only one option to put history back.... |
| Trouble on the Trail (-) Anxious to get a break from the grueling midterms at school, Marty joins Doc Brown and Clara as they visit the Oregon Trail, testing a new modification to the DeLorean in the process. Unfortunately, the wagon train they're on has a Tannen ancestor on board, Buck, who takes an instant dislike towards Marty that is provoked when Buck's teenage daughter, Celeste, shows an interest towards him. After the train's leader is killed suddenly and Buck assumes the new role, things begin to get worse -- much worse -- when Marty is suddenly accused of a crime that he's pretty sure he didn't commit. Now, with a death sentence hanging over his head, and no alibi to back up his claims, not even Doc can save him now. Or can he....? |
| When the Future Meets the Past (-) When Verne develops a powerful interest in dinosaurs, Jules suggests that a trip back, to see the animals in person, would be a fun thing to do on a hot summer day. After modifying the time display in the DeLorean slightly, the boys take off for an afternoon of dinosaur viewing 67 million years ago. But only minutes after they arrive, something goes terribly wrong, stranding them there.Meanwhile, back in the 1986 present, the boys turn up missing. Doc Brown goes to Marty McFly (and girlfriend Jennifer Parker) for their help in locating the boys. When it is discovered the DeLorean time machine is missing, Doc wastes no time in tracking down the location Jules and Verne went off to--then taking Marty along with him in the train for what is intended as a quick pick up of both the boys and the time machine. But with the DeLorean unable to travel through time back to the future with them, the group is stuck in the prehistoric past while Doc makes some temporary repairs on the car.... |
| Whole Lotta Lovin' (-) No one should ever have to overhear their parents late at night. |
