    Summary

    Olson was dreaming. Dreaming of him. Only, he didn’t know the dream was about Stebbins, not at first. Because it didn’t begin like most wet dreams, it started off as a nightmare.

    Someone had broken into his house, swiftly stolen away from the pouring rain outside, but Olson didn’t see his face at first. Not until he was cornered, and a wooden stake was driven into his heart.

    Being stabbed was a surprisingly intimate experience for Olson. The heart— an organ of love, which one would normally be hesitant to give away— penetrated by an object of violence.

    If Hank Olson were a poet, he’d have a field day with that one.

    Too bad Olson wasn’t a poet. But he was horny, which is why the dream didn’t stop there.

    [or, Olson has a really weird wet dream about Stebbins that may or may not have been some sort of prophecy. and Stebbins may or may not be a vampire]

    Summary

    "The world had fundamentally changed–ended right in front of him–and he had just received the worst possible wake-up call.

    Nothing would be the same again."

    As it turns out, the world can end multiple times over.
    It began with a virus; one that's only goal is to consume, and to spread like wildfire. And then, society fell apart.
    In the new world, everyone has lost someone. Loss is a fact of living more so now than ever, and it's survival instinct that keeps you going.
    But when you find people you can't lose, you hold onto them. Tight.

    Summary

    “The only guarantee you have as a human being is that you’re going to die. It’s up to you whether you see the light or the dark before that happens.”

    Ray Garraty has always followed the rules until one catastrophic mistake erases his entire life. In a world without second chances, one fuck up is all it takes.

    At sixteen, out of options and out of time, Ray is sentenced to Youth Rehabilitation: the government’s silent solution for troublesome boys. No trials. No appeals. No mercy. Just a stamped file and a future decided for him.

    Everyone knows what Youth Rehab does.
    It breaks you.
    It rebuilds you.

    It turns you into something useful to the State.
    Boys go in angry, scared, defiant.
    They come out emptied, sharpened, obedient
    if they come out at all.

    Ray was never supposed to survive it.
    He was never supposed to fight back.
    But some systems don’t realize they’ve made a mistake until it’s already too late.

    Summary

    After the untimely and wholly suspicious death of a certain faux-accented prep, Earnest finds himself haunted by the memory of him.
    And as metaphorically beautiful as that might sound, it's less poetic when taking into account that Earnest's life is now being shadowed by an actual plasma-and-energy phantom, a true specter, a genuine ghost.
    Earnest's life previously consisted of Grottos and Gremlins, college placement tests, and the clumsy romancing of his new prep girlfriend. Now he's expected to deal with Tad's unfinished dead guy business. What's a simple man of science to do?

    OR

    Tad Spencer led a miserable life. It stands to reason that he'd lead a miserable death as well. Still, it seems completely unfair that the only person in all of existence who can interact with him post-mortem is Earnest Jones of all people. Cue the sitcom laugh track, Tad's misery has once again been made a farce.

    OR

    Two unlikely heroes team up to try to prevent a minor tragedy from becoming widespread devastation. Also there's some smooching, some guns, and a full scale beach episode.
