10	''Imagine Someday'' is an urban fantasy novel and the debut of author Karen Lofgren.
11
12	It tells the story of Diego Avery, a lonely young man who discovers a griffin in his forested backyard. Said griffin, named Aglaciel, [[IdentityAmnesia can't remember anything about what happened to him]]. A QuestForIdentity begins when Diego's girlfriend, Miho, finds a {{unicorn}} in a nearby public park, and a lot more questions than answers are brought to the surface.
13
14	However, Diego has a lot of baggage himself, and sooner or later that's going to come to the forefront...
15
16	Starts off as a pretty typical ABoyAndHisX story -- a young man having adventures with his griffin, but it but quickly gets darker.
17
18	----
19	!!Contains examples of:
20	%% * ABoyAndHisX: A 20-year-old and his griffin.

25	%%
26	%% * BookEnds: [[spoiler:Diego lying on the couch with a book while talking to Colin.]]
27	%% * BrokenBird: Jillian is a darker version of this trope.
28	%% This trope is usually ''plenty'' dark
29	%%
30	%% * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Diego and Miho. [[spoiler:It doesn't work out.]]
31	* DarkAndTroubledPast:
32	** Diego was sexually abused by his father.
33	** Rahim was abandoned and essentially taken in by Christian Avery for slave labor.
34	** Jillian was almost mauled to death by griffins while terrified and alone in the mountains.
35	** Dawn watched Argent slaughter her family.
36	%% ** Ditto for Aglaciel.
37	%% * DashingHispanic: Diego has some shades of this.
38	%% * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Avery did this with Guilheh. Avery's the one in control.]]
39	* DeclarationOfProtection: Implied. It goes unsaid for most of the story, but Rahim is definitely going to protect Diego, no matter what gets in his way.
40	%% * EvilIsNotAToy: Subverted. [[spoiler:Christian Avery, a human, is the one in control of Guilheh, a Fantastical Creature. This remains so throughout the story.]]

48	%% * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Aglaciel is a Classic.
49	%% * PrettyBoy: Diego is even called this at one point.
50	%% * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Aglaciel, as griffins are rather warlike. [[spoiler:This is not necessarily a good thing.]]
51	%% * QuestForIdentity: The initial driving question.
52	* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Diego was raped as a child. It's more or less portrayed realistically.]]
