    Summary

    It was always the children who were most difficult to take, but he had a job to do, a role to fill.

    He couldn’t make allowances.
    It would disrupt the order.

    He’d taken many children.
    This one would be no different.

    ♱♱♱
    After a reaper breaks the rules, the child he let live suffers for it;
    but he cannot let him go.

    Summary

    An Exorcism in Hex Hollow; or, On the Third Day Fill the Grave

    It’s 2009 in rural North Georgia and Jayce Talis is running from something. He is running into the mountains, the prodigal son fleeing home in exile. There’s something screaming in the woods and something else whispering underneath his father’s house. He’s going home, God help him, he’s going home. And Viktor, his once best friend now a near stranger, works his grandmother’s farm and follows the old folk magic ways, and when he dreams of sinking into the black mud of his own grave, he sometimes wakes on misty mornings with his face pressed, cold and numb, into the tilled soil.

    There’s something ancient and alive unearthed in the furrowed fields of Piltover County. There’s a circle drawn in horse’s blood. Foxes surround a lonely gravesite in the mountains. Gunshots echo from the farmhouse in the valley and poppets made from twigs and hair hang in the trees. There’s a devil that stalks the crossroads of Hex Hollow and it’s got a taste for Viktor’s blood – and Jayce might be the only thing that can save him from damnation.

    Summary

    Friendships in the valley form fast. The nearest town is over an hour down the mountain road through the park, and even then, it’s a small community mostly fueled by the tourism passing through. That's why everyone who works here lives here too. The valley is its own isolated community.

    And if friendships here form fast, then crushes form faster.

    OR Jayce and Viktor are National Park Rangers that really need to talk about their feelings. A sudden storm forces them to face their fears.

    Summary

    The thing is…they're not dating.

    Frankly, Jayce doesn't know what they are.

    ---

    Or:

    Sometimes in the dark, late at night, boundaries blur. Sometimes two people exist in the in-between of all the things their relationship could be, with a lot left unsaid.

    Jayce and Viktor have been dancing around each other for a long time.
