Alternate Universe

Stories on this page are set in alternate universes. This means that they exist outside the accepted canon of General Hospital history. I take characters and relationships and lift them outside of the world we know and put them in another. These have different settings, different time periods, and different genres. They are separated into sections by genre, then organized alphabetically.

Smoke & Mirrors

AU. Long ago, a woman scorned placed a curse on the women of the Soltini family. For generations, no woman birthed a son or lived long enough to see her daughters reach adulthood. Some have come close to breaking the curse, but all have failed.

For most of her life, Elizabeth Webber thought she and her cousins had finally escaped the family curse. Her sons were the first born to a Soltini woman in living memory. Cursed with the gift of empathy and healing, life has not been kind to Elizabeth. Devastated and heartbroken, she fled her family long ago.

She left behind cousins Robin Scorpio and Nadine Crowell, each cursed with powers of their own. Envious of Elizabeth’s gift for healing, aspiring doctor Robin could always tell the truth of the situation, but her pride and jealousy often blinded her to reality. Though she wanted peace between her cousins, Nadine’s power of reading memories too often overwhelmed her and she retreated.

The cousins have gone their separate ways until one day when the pentagram marking the curse appears on Elizabeth and Nadine’s palms. Why has the curse returned? Why has it spared Robin? Elizabeth has no choice but to return to Port Charles, to the cousins and family she fled, and the man that broke her heart.
