    Summary

    “It’s so funny that you went with a vampire costume,” Avid replied. He went ahead and let himself into the house, a habit after so long of visiting. Shelby didn’t even notice the intrusion, content to shut and lock the door behind him. “You look great. Very sophisticated and intimidating.”

    “Isn’t it the coolest?” Shelby brightened, giving a little twirl. “I had the contacts and the wig from a while back, but Scott helped me pick out my actual outfit a few hours ago.”

    Avid froze. 

    “Oh?” His voice came out hoarse and barely audible. “Really? Scott helped you?”

    - or -

    Shelby is hosting a Halloween party for all the professors at their university. Strange how everyone keeps showing up in the exact same costume. Stranger still that Scott seems to be behind every single instance of it.

    Summary

    Avid babbles something, probably a plea, as Owen pushes the stake down. He gasps, sobbing, as pain unlike anything he’s ever felt surges through his chest. It’s worse than dying, he knows dying, this is… this is…

    Erasure.

    “Stop- Stop!” Avid cries, but he knows it’s useless. It’s too late.

    Owen just looks at him, with dark eyes, and the stake sinks through his chest.

    And-

    And…

    There’s a voice, something distant and feminine. Powerful.

    “It’s not your time. Not yet.”

    And he’s gone.

    ———

    Or, in which Avid dies and then wakes up in the past, during his very first day in Oakhurst. He’s not very happy about it. (Oh, and he’s still a vampire.)

    Summary

    “Vampires aren’t real, Avid,” Scott drawls, a hand on his hip. He looks bored by the whole conversation, and of course he would be. Of course a vampire like him would be so arrogant. “Why are you so certain, anyway? There’s no proof fairy tales like that are real.”

    “Because I-“ Avid cuts himself off, tense as a bow string. He trembles, sharp nails digging into his palms as he bites back everything he could say.

    ‘Because I am one.’

    ———

    Or, in which Avid’s a vampire from the beginning, just a very young one. Scott finds out.

    Summary

    Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.

    Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?

    Verso was tired.

    “Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”

    Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

    Summary

    > TUTOR NEEDED

    Subject(s): Math, Science, Literature

    For: 16-year-old student. Intelligent. Prone to… selective motivation.

    Pay: Negotiable. Flexible hours. Discretion and resilience preferred.

    Contact: Clea Dessendre.

    Serious inquiries only. No time-wasters.

    ---

    Gustave is a university student living off a scholarship that covered the essentials, but not everything—not his own space, not the little things like tools for engineering projects or fixing the busted laptop he’d been limping along with since high school. And if the Dessendre family paid well…

    Well, he’d survive a little attitude from a teenager. How bad could it be?
