Summary
It was the kind of moments she lived for when she saw Daisy in the field, things with many teeth and eyes and faces in front of her, bloody knife clenched in her fists like an exorcist holds a cross and looking at her, directly at her. Basira was never quite sure if the glistening at the corners of her eyes was sweat or tears but in the end it didn’t matter because it was only when Daisy was hunting, when she had brought her kill down that she saw the mask break and light shine through. She looked more alive than Basira had seen her look in months.
It was dark by the time they had buried the body.

Summary
The breakroom fridge and cabinets, they had seen a good deal. Of course, assistants over the years had used them to store food, to take food, to make food. If the breakroom could talk, could process information, it wouldn’t be a stranger to dead eyed stares. To days when people came in with hands shaking and breath coming in gasps. Once, someone had died in there- well. Not exactly death, but potayto potahto.
The notes were new, though.

Summary
Edward sat huddled in the corner, by his closet, he remembered pushing the closet door out of the way, he remembered feeling something pop uncomfortably as he sank against the wall and fell to the floor, to where he was now, feet numb and hands shaking as he scrolled his camera roll, through the cloud albums he kept on this burner phone, breath coming in short gasps.
He was not losing his mind. He was perfectly fine.

The after effects of a brain tumour can include memory loss. Edward doesn’t have memory loss. He can’t, right?

Summary
And he had woken up just yesterday so happy and unawares. Oh yeah, looks like he was just catching a bit of a cold, he felt a bit tired but it’s fine, not the weirdest thing to happen at the camp. There was the plan with Dolly, which he really needed to be there for right now and everything was fine.
And then today he had woken up late and started sobbing because he couldn’t find his favourite raccoon tail and it had all spiralled downhill from there.

Summary
The door closed and Gerry, deciding standing on two legs was a bit too much right now, fell to his knees, scraping them against the curb and not even noticing. He mumbled something that sounded like “she’s dead.” A few more times, his knuckles scraping against the concrete as he tried to pick himself up and walk back in. The door. That was the problem, it was locked.
“FUCK.” He called into the street.
“You look sad, my friend! Do you need a door?”

Summary
There’s blood spattered on Daisy’s shoe. She knows it won’t raise any suspicions and so she doesn’t wipe it off, just stares at it as the car glides along. Basira has so much trust in her that it’s intoxicating and she doesn’t know what to do with it. She wants to hold it in her hands, gentle and powerful and delicate. Daisy watches her drive, watches her eyes flick to the other cars on the road. She doesn’t trust any of them. She trusts Daisy and what is Daisy supposed to do with this?
..
Where Daisy lies on the spectrum between human and monster.

Summary
Zooble knew he could just walk away right now. Back to her own room, Jax would probably thank her. He didn’t know why they weren’t walking back right now, turning on these @&#^%ing wobbly cartoon legs and pretending nothing was happening.
Of course she knew why. The sound of a little crying was always distinctly different from someone who was big, and of course he knew this and of course she had to at least check. Make sure everything was alright. Damn years of caregiving.
..
Jax is regressed and having a terrible time of it. Zooble, unfortunately, knows exactly what to do to help.

Summary
Gerry heard a sound from the bushes outside the lot and took a step back on impulse, towards what they instinctively thought was safety, the ratty motel that really only meant more walls around them. Another sound and another step back. Could they make a run for it? With a dreadful sense of clarity, Gerry realized what was happening and it made their blood run cold.
Gerry was being hunted.
..
When a supposedly simple trip to America turns into Gerry’s worst nightmare, Gertrude has to call on an old flame to help them.

Summary
Kevin was free, was he? His palms were on the floor, shredded fingernails leaving little specks of blood where his nails grabbed at the floor, and he grabbed at anything, anything to make sense of where he was. He found a windowsill, pulled himself up and looked out of it.
Desert, reaching as far as the eye could see. In the back there was the pinpricks of light that showed that Night Vale, but reaching it was hopeless.
He had walked these hallways before, looked out these windows through the eyes of a fox mask.
Father Kevin.
..
Kevin is forced to come to terms with his past and escape his present for good.

Summary
“What do you think happens, afterwards?” Oliver said to Mike.
“After what?”
“You know, death.”
Mike turned, drawing his gaze from the cloudy grey sky and looked at him. “You’d know better than me.”
..
Oliver finds a poem that gives him some comfort in the face of tragedy.

Summary
“You cook a lot while alive?” Rosie asked and Alastor could only grin, reach for a glass of port and take a long sip.
“It’s about the only good memory I have of my childhood.”
“Because of your father, deer?”
“Among other things.”
..
Alastor drinks a bit too much and suddenly the world feels a lot bigger, or maybe he just feels so much smaller.

Summary
“Yes.” Alastor had nodded and leaned on his cane. “Well, see, I’ve just been notified I have an important radio convention coming up and I’ll have to cut my visit here short. So sorry for the inconvenience.”
Which brought Rosie to the present moment. Equal parts frustrated and confused.
..
Alastor is staying at Cannibal Town and there is a misunderstanding.

Summary
Gerry thought as he watched Michael with a soft smile that he himself was the odd, stuck one out. He wasn’t designed to live in a home. He was all angles, all thumbprint smudges of black ink on a cluttered canvas, a man meant for corners and ashtrays. This was okay.
“Gerry?” Now Michael was looking at him.
“Sorry.” He quickly looked around and spotted an unmarked box. “Maybe they’re not in the kitchen boxes.” He reached to open it, sliding the boxcutter down the middle.
“What do y- No!” Michael just about teleported beside him, “You don’t-”
“What?”
Gerry opened the box and glanced at the contents.
A bundle of fabric that might have been blankets or brightly coloured clothing… a colouring book, some pencil crayons and markers, two plastic things that it took a second for Gerry to name. Pacifiers.
He took a second, then looked up, confused. “Are you pregnant?”
..
(That is not, in fact, the case)
Aka, Gerry had expected there would be some new relationship trials when he moved in with Michael. He was not expecting this “acting like a little kid sometimes” thing, but maybe he’s not as weirded out by it as he thought. Maybe this is kind of nice, actually.

Summary
The road was bumpy and each shudder sent him up into the air, then down with a jolt, smacking his head against the floor of the trunk. The short cut mat scraped at his face and hands. He could probably break the zip tie if he had a little more room, but he knew it’s best to cooperate.
This wasn’t the first time Hank has been tied up in the back of a car, but he was significantly more concerned than usual.

Summary
In front of him, peering over him, was an older kid, a teenager probably. He was wearing a black coat that was way too big for him and had on a black beanie with blond hair tucked under it like he was hiding it and Jon stood up, spread his arms to stop him from coming closer.
“I’m warnin you!” Jon said. The teenager reached him and Jon tried to push him out of the way with a great amount of difficulty. “Get- off! It’s evil!”
“Well DUH!” Said the teenager, stepping back. “It’s a Leitner.”
..
Jon runs into a weird kid who knows a whole lot about evil books.

Summary
The barn was familiar, safe, and inside he saw two eyes reflecting the light and knew Barley was waiting for him to come back. Ravenpaw staggered forward, not because he had to but because he wanted to, and before he could say a thing Barley was welcoming him back, enveloped wholly in his chest floof and wrapped with his paws and Raven allowed himself to sob for the first time that night.
“You did it.” Barley said.
Ravenpaw’s claws scratched the ground as he sobbed, shaking, shivering.
“You did it.” Barley said again, quieter, like the first one was for the universe and the second one was just for him.
…
A confrontation, a few memories, and a promise.

Summary
Husk gave him a side eye. “…you want an empty glass?”
“Alcohol’s bad for you.” Angel said, nodding like he was a minister doing an assembly at a middle school.
“You’re nucking futs.” Husk grabbed the glass and slid it across the bar, Angel catching it before the light glass could rebound off of his leg.
With one fluid movement, Angel picked up the glass, took careful aim, and threw it directly across the bar and onto a wall. It shattered into a bazillion pieces.
“WHAT THE FUCK!?”
..
Aka, one of Charlie’s therapy methods might actually be working. Probably not in the way she anticipated, though.

Summary
“What happened?” Basira asked and Daisy looked at her, shaking a bit. She looked so frail with her muscles all atrophied and her hair buzzed close to her head and her eyes open and scared like a deer in the middle of the road, wide and darting.
“I- I don’t.” Daisy fell back onto her knees, barely missing a stack of books as she held on to the cot, fingers sinking into the soft surface. “Shit. I don’t know. I don’t.” Basira realized with a start that she was crying. She did that now and it was wholly disconcerting, like seeing a lion grieving an antelope. Basira had never seen her cry before this. She did a whole lot now.
..
The hunt takes over when Daisy sleeps. Basira’s forced to get a little creative.

Summary
When Alastor awoke, he was in pain. Not unusual. However, the exact quantity and amount of pain, well… that was quite unusual indeed.
The pink walls and pink ceiling placed him firmly in Rosie’s cannibal paradise mansion. Relatively a safe place to be. Probably the safest he could be in hell.
“Al! You’re awake, how nice.”

Summary
Life had been so perfect lately.
Completely ideal, really. Fully and truly everything that Kevin could expect and or want from it. His scars had all but healed and when he could feel them it was as just the gentlest of tuggings on the sides of his face. He could sometimes go out to the grocery store or out for coffee, even alone sometimes. When Carlos and Cecil left for a walk he just turned on the TV real loud and stayed on the couch until they came back. Sometimes he even made himself a snack, and he was doing just fine. Most of all, he hadn’t regressed in almost a year.
So why was he digging through his toybox now, looking for his paci while chewing on his thumb and wanting to cry his eyes out?
..
Aka, Cecil and Carlos adopt a new baby and Kevin does /not/ like it.
