Summary
Pickles dive-bombed Snakes N Barrels directly into the dust. There's no other way to put it. He's been living in a van down by the river for the last couple of years, spending his royalties checks on drugs and booze.
There's a couple of prospects, though. His best friend has a band that Pickles thinks might actually make it, some day, and it's a way to get out of the mess he's gotten himself into at the feet of Magnus Hammersmith. The president of his fanclub from back in the day has a business degree, now, and the woman who sold him H when he used to wear headbands is back in town and dealing only in withering looks and weed, these days.
It's 1996, and it's all coming together.

Summary
**This fic runs from after the stabbing in Some Days are for Dying up through when Dethklok finds out they've sold a hundred thousand records. I'm still working on the real summary, but here's a little sample for the meantime! As always, there will be chapter by chapter CWs.**
Pickles reaches it, and the knob is hot in his hand like there might be a fire on the other side. He pushes it down and pulls it open; and there’s-- it’s bright, sunshine. There is an old, long dock ahead of him, and the humid of Wisconsin summer, seventy-degrees and too hot. Cat tails sway in the familiar breeze. Pickles walks up, and there is another blackened mass on the edge of the dock where he himself had sat, over a decade prior. Beneath it there are bare pale shoulders, just barely showing through in the transparent... goo.
It turns around to face him, pale chin over pale shoulder, the liquid dripping down its face in heavy droplets.
Pickles feels like he should say something, anything, he’s-- Pickles walks up the dock, and it does not move further, following him with its eyes. He squats down on the dock in front of it, and as the liquid drips away, the sad child is revealed.
