  Summary

  The Great Fear Entities live right outside our world, trying to push into our reality while feeding on the passive fears they get.
  But, if they have their eyes on you, you can't escape. Immortality and machinery can't stop you from serving your new Gods.

  Or The Mechs become avatars
  Title inspired by one of the names for The End

  Summary

  It was impressive, really. How when a war goes on for long enough, it all loses meaning.
  Of course, Hatter had never seen any meaning. They just told him he needed to go to war, so he did.

  He had no idea when he met him. It could be Sunday or Wednesday, January or July, tomorrow’s tomorrow or yesterday’s yesterday. Perhaps even today’s today.
  But whatever day, night and evening it was, that was when Hatter met Hare.

  Summary

  Bertie had survived the Moon War. But- there was no way his Tim could have made it out alive. So Bertie became the Marquis. Aristocrat, contract killer.

  How could he know this simple job to kill a band would change his life forever?

  Summary

  Galahad was one of the priests of Camelot. And since the first time he spoke to him, he believed there was a new prophet.
  Someone truly sent by God.
  Someone who could maybe help Galahad atone for the sins of his bloodline.

  AKA- Galfridian descends from Brian's backstory planet.
