    Summary

    The longer Simon spends with Ryland Grace and Rocky, the more he realizes they're genuinely good people (or rock-spider-crab things)... and the more convinced he becomes that he doesn't belong with them in the slightest.

    (Or: A criminal, a science teacher, and a rock walk into a spaceship.

    This is a continuation of "The People We Meet at the End of the World", which you may need to read first for context.)

    Summary

    “Transmitting…” The screen in front of him regains Grace’s attention.

    There’s a crackle of static, and then, “–to next coordinates. Uh, I think it’s just gonna be more rocks. Is there- do you want me to try a few different angles?”

    Grace nearly falls out of his chair.

    (Or: The radio frequency that squeezes through a pinhole to connect two one-way trips)

    Summary

    Dylan could admit when he was wrong. Gotten pretty good at it too. Though that didn’t mean he enjoyed it—the confession nor the deed itself. Despite the admission, he felt his current situation required some serious self-reflection...

    To start, maybe not staying in the lodge was a bad idea, to say the least. Yes, Mr. H had warned them to stay inside. And yes, that warning flew over every single one of their empty, little heads (except maybe Ryan and Abi…), but it’s not like he was completely responsible for that! One: it was a group effort. Two: he really wanted to get drunk in the woods. And perhaps partying in the middle of nowhere—in the middle of the night—with a bunch of drunk 18–20-year-olds, miles away from any hospital, police station, or cellphone tower could be seen as… risky. During a full moon, nonetheless. But he could own that, especially seeing as it was his own suggestion that got them there in the first place.

    He could not, however, be blamed for the fucking werewolves. Despite what his father might’ve claimed if he could see his sorry excuse for a son now.

    ---

    My reimagining of The Quarry but set in a universe where werewolves and hunters aren't that uncommon. For Dylan, at least.

    Summary

    (The end is never the end. There's too much blood on too many hands and too many unhappy endings. Six years is a long wait for a grieving mother and a damning curse. It's time for more desperate measures. Perhaps resourcing one of the counselors - as she had watched so many do before - will prove benign. Looks like it's time to save the sole survivor.)

    Dylan wakes up in a blind panic, kicking out and falling backward off of the log bench he's sitting on. Maybe it's a bit dramatic, but in his defense, he was just being pinned down in the kitchen, about to get his throat torn out by a goddamn werewolf. Sue him for startling.
