    Summary

    Despite being a literal monster, Max Jagerman does have a soul - she just happens to take the form of a 12-foot 550-pound nile crocodile. A prank-gone-wrong leaves the Nerdy Prudes with Dust on their hands, and things only get worse from there.

    Or, a mostly faithful retelling of Nerdy Prudes Must Die with added daemons, cameos from other residents of Hatchetfield, and a whole bunch of convoluted lore speculation.

    (You don't need to be familiar with His Dark Materials or Daemons as a concept - I've put a brief explainer in the notes)

    Summary

    Ted Spankoffski never amounted to a can of beans in the tiny island town of Hatchetfield. Nothing more but an average student at Hatchetfield High, he could care less about how everyone looked at him. Invisible, troublemaker, loser, weirdo, prankster, nerd… name it, and he’s got it like a badge of honour. Abstinence Camp can suck its own dick, bullies can burn themselves alive with his witty words. For a good while, nothing else mattered more than a good time with his childhood friend, Jenny.

    Until a new kid on the block with wild blonde hair, and a penchant for trouble, starts gunning for his ass. Literally.

    (This is chapter 6 of Persephone of Apotheosis. But it ended up too long so we had to put it as it's own story, Rip. This is in the exact same AU as Persephone of Apotheosis, except many years earlier.

    Second author here, take this as a form of prequel, though for context wise, this is actually a “play” in the main AU, that uncovers Ted’s past for this AU)

    Summary

    “Sing what you did at that party last night!” Somehow, he could practically hear Duke smile from behind the camera; speckled cheeks raising with his dorky grin, his dimples on full display as he giggled under his breath. 

     

    Becky and Tom rolled their eyes playfully in sync, but obliged anyway. “Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world.” Becky started. Tom joined eventually, and it became a duet. If you listened close enough you could hear Duke occasionally laugh or hum along, tapping his fingers on the camera to the beat.

     

    He went back to his workstation as the video kept playing in the corner. He occasionally hummed along to his and Becky’s own singing. He had always been fond of singing, he was in a couple musicals in middle school, and he took choir in high school. He would always make up love songs to sing to Becky, or sing already existing ones—he also was pretty good on the guitar, keyword ‘was’. He hadn’t practiced in years.

    Summary

    Becky sighs, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket at the kitchen window, watching the scene outside with a fond but frustrated smile, sniffling miserably. Tom lifting Hannah onto his shoulders while Lex pelts them both with snowballs—his laughter echoing through the glass.

    "They’re gonna catch my cold next if they stay out there much longer," She muttered to herself, "Tom Houston, you are not carrying her through three feet of snow in sneakers—oh my god.”

    Tom and the girls were oblivious to Becky's worried eyes, caught up in their snowball fight. Hannah squeals gleefully, perched on Tom's shoulders like a little queen, while Lex dives for cover behind a snowman with a mischievous grin. The scene outside was like something out of a Christmas movie—but inside, Becky was wrestling with her own worries.

    Or

    When Becky catches a cold it's her turn to be taken care of, but what happens when it reveals to be more than just a cold.

    Nvm it’s an emotional rollercoaster at this point, just click and hang on for dear life.

    Summary

    Smoke rolled overhead as the late night breeze brought in the smell of ash. It wasn't just the mall that had caught fire. There were columns of smoke rising out all over the city.

     Lex watched the adults move around her warily, keeping her eyes peeled for anything that might still be lingering in the back of their minds. Deep down she knew that Wiggly's presence had been all but burned away, but the night had been long and there were several things she would rather avoid thinking about.

    Possibly forever.

    ***

    Black Friday. The Shopping Day from Hell. Lex Foster made it through only to find her entire world changed in a single night. In the aftermath she's left to figure out what's left.

    Summary

    The person adjusted their glasses. “Yeah, my family and I just moved.” They grinned, a bit too wide for Bill’s comfort—almost inhuman. “My name’s Briar. Pleasure to meet you.” They reached out to shake Bill’s hand. Their nails dug into his skin.

     

    “William—Bill. Bill Woodward.” Bill exclaimed, laughing nervously. 

     

    “No need to be nervous, Billy.” They patted his hand. “Everything will be fine.”

     

    He slinked his arm away from theirs. “Uh, thank you.”

    Summary

    Richie bolted down the corridor to get to the music room. Ruth followed him down, repeatedly insisting that there must be some kind of mistake. Overtaking him, Ruth slammed into the music room door, stumbling forward and tripping over herself when it opened quicker than she expected. She didn't bother pulling herself back up and just laid there instead. Miss Mulberry looked unfazed. She was sitting on her desk with a coffee in hand. Richie stepped over Ruth and Miss Mulberry shushed him before he even spoke.

    “No, there are no mistakes on the cast list.” She droned, taking a sip of her coffee. She looked utterly fed up. “I am just as annoyed as you are.”

    “Why.” Was all Richie could muster. Ruth groaned from the floor.

    “As a detention alternative, apparently. Principal Blim thinks making our lives hell will cure Max of his anger issues.”

    “I don't think you're allowed to say that, Miss Mulberry.” Ruth mumbled, her voice muffled by the floor her head was still pressed against.

    “Ruth, you know I'm not paid nearly enough to care.”

    “...okay.”

    or:

    As an alternative to detention, Max is forced to be a stagehand for the school musical. Richmax ensues.
