    Summary

    The strings wrapped him in their web, starting from his chest and twisting and fluttering around him.

    There were friends at the ends of these strings, Mr. Spider had told him as a child. He just had to follow the strings where they lead.
    There were victims at the ends of these strings, The Mother had told him. They would be delicious.

    With curiosity, Jon reached out and let the bright red string curl around his finger freely. The most beautiful, he thought. It tightened around him. In response, Jon gave it a gentle tug.

    Instantly, his vision was overtaken.

    Tea, made perfectly with milk and a dash of sugar and a lot of love. A deep, deep loneliness. A lie on a resume. White fog, dusty shelves full of documents, a sound like wet pasta. Fear, fear, fear. Jon’s face, all eight of his eyes open, gazing sharply at something behind him.

    Love, love, love. So much love.

    A gunshot.

    “Martin!” Jon gasped, coming to. “Who the hell is Martin?”

    Or:

    Jon doesn't escape Mr. Spider, and becomes a child avatar of the Web. This changes some things, but not others.

    Now complete!

    Summary

    Marriage had never really been a consideration for Persephone but here she is, married to the new Hades with not so much as a by your leave. Turns out her new spouse is even more immortal than her, has mechanical lungs, and is a arsonist psychopathic space pirate who travels through time with their crew and cause chaos and mass destruction. Okay. She can work with that.

    A Mechanisms fanfiction based on the Ulysses Dies At Dawn album and the extra information on their website. A small crack idea about how the Persephone myth would turn out in that universe, and an excuse for writing morally grey characters. Warnings for: bad people doing fucked up things including mass murder, arson, and small mentions of incest and forced prostitution to fund a drug addiction. It’s the Mechanisms.

    Summary

    Martin didn’t really want to be a god’s soulmate.

    Oh, he supposed it wouldn’t be so bad if he was the soulmate of a New God, a god of innovation or art or parties. But no. Martin didn’t get a normal soulmate, or, better yet, get to be one of the millions of people who don’t have a soulmark at all. Instead, in addition to all the undue attention and reverence that he received once people realized he was an Amatus, Martin also had to worry about his soulmate accidentally shattering his mind. Because of course, of course, his soulmate was a Dread Power.

    Summary

    The Eye Knows and Sees all, but it cannot understand. That’s what the Archivist is for, to experience, understand, and archive terrible knowledge and fear, and filter that back to the Eye. If Jonah Magnus is the Pupil of the Eye, then Jonathan Sims is the brain that processes what the Eye and Pupil see, for the Beholding does not possess the neural pathways required to feel, let alone understand, fear. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) that is about to change.

    What happens when a knowledge-seeking entity that cannot think is directly linked to a (lonely, stubborn, morally strict, self-deprecating) human who thinks plenty enough for the both of them?

    Or:
    the Beholding gains sentience and promptly realizes: life is unfair and existence is pain, but at least it has its funky little Archivist.

    Jon, freshly woken from a six-month coma, gains a loyal, if annoying, companion during his lowest point.
