Summary
The night of Halloween finds Lee having to trade her shiny Mary-Jane’s for clunky rain boots, unsurprised by the unfavorable weather. The neighborhood they drive to is the type of cookie cutter suburbia that normally makes Lee sort of squirrelly, houses too close together and lawns too manicured, but when everything is cloaked in nighttime and alight with Halloween decorations with the promise of candy at every door…well that’s different. Other kids trick-or-treat in little groups of threes and fours and fives, chattering amidst themselves and unconcerned with Lee who remains alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Halloween night, ten year old Lee Harker meets a few ghosts.

Summary
“So.” Tim says, draping himself across the back of the sofa near enough to ruffle Martin’s hair as he does. “Who else has been snogging The Distortion this evening?”
Sasha eagerly raises her hand. Jon reluctantly follows. Martin hesitates before doing the same, feeling himself go red all over again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Halloween Tim, Sasha, Jon and Martin are each visited by a very peculiar trick-or-treater

Summary
“I am what was done to Michael Shelley.” It says, shrinking from a mother’s intense eye. Then it hunches inward, sinking to the muddy grass so it may pull its skinny legs to its hollow chest. Michael wishes she would stop looking at it that way.
It wants to tell this man it has no mother, that the son she is looking for is dead, but the person it was born from howls inside its head until Michael cannot bring itself to tell the truth. To become a butterfly, a caterpillar weaves itself a cozy little cocoon to sleep in before its entire body disintegrates and becomes caterpillar soup until that primordial goo shapes itself into a butterfly. The butterfly remembers being a caterpillar, it knows due north and the hand that raised it, but it is not a caterpillar.
Michael feels like it is a misshapen insect, a big ugly cuckoo bird that thinks it's a sparrow, a barn cat raised by dogs so it tries to bark and only hisses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael Shelley goes inside of the-door-that-should-not-be-there, what comes home is something else.

Summary
What sits outside the rest stop is not the same person, it isn’t even a person at all, but neither is it not. A contradictory mistake of nature that eats blue peanut M&M’s first, swearing they’re the best, and drinks Pepsi with a straw so the sugar wont hurt his teeth. Its teeth, rather. Can Michael even get cavities? Well, regardless, there is Michael and there is Michael Shelley and they meet in the middle as Gerry sits beside it and shares one of his ear-buds connected to a scratched up old Walkman.
A headphone cord links them together as they murmur conspiratorially, heads bowed until nearly touching. Michael tips a handful of M&M’s into its palm and picks blue first, offering it to Gerry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Written for a prompt fill. Gerry, Michael, and Gertrude on what could generously be called a 'road trip'. -

Summary
The psychiatrist at work said it’s survivor’s guilt and that might be part of it, but mostly it’s that she watched someone die choking on his own blood and spitting out his own gnarled teeth. Lee doesn’t even know what she expected out of that, why she went to see him all alone, only that an inescapable pull in her gut drove her down to the holding cell and the way he had smiled at her hurt. He looked at her like she mattered to him, like he cared about her. Maybe even loved her, in some way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Written from the prompt of '10 Years Later' a look at Lee Harker a decade following the events of Longlegs.

Across the Universe by Foxtrot (SolidState)

06 Feb 2022
Summary
AU-based series roughly formulated around the No Way Home trailer and movie-multiverse. Absolutely no canon to be found my dude's this is entirely self-satisfying tender romance.
Outside of the first fic these can be read in any order.
2024 update: when I worked on this fic i tried to open a discord server, but the email used was lost many years ago. I haven’t been able to access that discord since it was made 🥲 deepest apologies to anyone who joined and found it empty. I am however still active on twt @FioDoodles!
I’ve wanted to rewrite this series for a while, its my first longfic and very dear to me but I feel that my writing and artistic skills have improved a lot since it was published. I’m not sure that will realistically happen, but it’s on the back-burner. I have always deeply appreciated the kindness shown to me on this fic and I sincerely hope everyone who has commented and followed along is doing well (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)❤️ and maybe one day I’ll see you again in a rewrite of the series.

Summary
Jon and Martin go to a Ceilidh, and experience some of the perks of living in Scotland
“A ceilidh,” said Martin with a grin. “That’d be fun, right?”
“A ceilidh?” echoed Jon.
“It’s a dance,” said Martin, slipping his phone back into his pocket. “Scottish dancing – you know, with the spinning, and bagpipes and fiddles.”
Jon wrinkled his brow. “I know what a ceilidh is, Martin. I just – why did you take a photo?”
“To show you,” he said simply. “It’d be fun. C’mon, Jon – we can’t stay holed up in the cottage forever.”
“We should’ve,” muttered Jon. “Bloody freezing out here.”
