    Summary

    “Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”

    Oh.

    Well shit.

    (Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

    Summary

    “Okay, heartbreaker,” he says, “how much to put the tires back on the car?”

    Jason rolls his eyes and gestures at him with the lug wrench. “Why don’t I just beat you up and steal your money? Is this the first time you’ve been to a bad part of town? Don’t show me your wallet, asshole. Come on.”

    The man heaves a heavy, aggrieved sigh and starts pulling out bills. “Five hundred?” He tries. “Six? We can go to an ATM.”

    “You are mugging yourself,” Jason says, oddly impressed. “Holy shit.”

    Summary

    “Do you remember why you crashed your car?” Steve asks. He pins his gaze on the stretch of black tree limbs against the suede blue of the night sky.

    “I hit a deer,” Billy says shortly.

    “The thing is,” Steve says, he brings his gaze to Billy, “I don’t think you did.”

    Billy scoffs. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

    Steve shrugs. “Whatever you hit, it wasn’t a deer.”

    “Oh really?” Billy asks snidely. “Then what was it?”

    “The Monster Squad calls it the Mindflayer.”

    Summary

    There’s an abandoned cottage in the woods, and a bruised to hell Billy Hargrove finds it in the middle of a snowy night in early March. This turns into a bigger deal than it probably ought to.
