    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

    Summary

    Martin clings to Jon as they fall, clings to his bleeding lover as the roaring of the void and the screeching of the tapes drowns out any words either of them have. He clings to Jon and prays to whatever gods may exist that everything will end up alright.
    Then he collapses onto cold linoleum, stumbling into a harsh metal filing cabinet. The roaring and screeching is gone, and the harsh silence makes his ears ring... or maybe that's the head wound.

    When he finally opens his eyes, he isn't sure what he expected to see, but its not the middle of the archives with Sasha and his younger self staring back at him.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you to leave,” Kirishima admits. “I mean, it’s break, man. For the first time in months we don’t have school breathing down our necks so we can finally hang out like we used to and I did miss you!”

    “We saw each other last week,” Bakugou says, deflecting.

    “Still.” Kirishima smiles sheepishly.

    Summary

    The song starts with the deafening and wild sound of the drums.

    Kirishima actually stops dead in his tracks, the beat making his stomach drop, the people surrounding him cheer excitedly. The drums continue alone, then the guitar screams.

    Summary

    He carefully steps past the kitchen, through the dining room and there it is. In the farthest bedroom wall, through a door that has been burned off, waiting for him.

    ‘Missed me again.’
