    Summary

    He dreams of the wind being knocked out of him, and he falls, and falls. He lands on his face and tastes bitter rubber and iron against his mouth, feeling heavy and weightless at the same time. As his ribs expand, and as the pain spreads through his aching limbs, he’s suddenly being yanked out by an overwhelming force—and he sees endlessly blue-yellow skies as his bleary vision accommodates, rays of blurry glimmering light peak through soft, shifting clouds. He hears a voice whisper by his ear, in a velvety soft timbre, deep and rich—comforting, indolent, whole. His heart stutters and all his feelings rush through him in waves upon tidal waves.

    “Suho-ya,” the voice says.

    He sinks, and doesn’t resist this time.

    Summary

    Sieun’s stomach flips curiously. He ignores it. “I don’t really have a big appetite,” he says, a well-practiced lie.

    or: wanting is wanting, and having is having, and Sieun has learned a long time ago that for him there will never be much of an overlap.

    Summary

    He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.

    “Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”

    “I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”

    “I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”

    Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.

    Or

    For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.

    Summary

    “I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.

    “Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”

    “Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”

    Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.

    “Jesus fucking Christ.”

    Summary

    Dylan could admit when he was wrong. Gotten pretty good at it too. Though that didn’t mean he enjoyed it—the confession nor the deed itself. Despite the admission, he felt his current situation required some serious self-reflection...

    To start, maybe not staying in the lodge was a bad idea, to say the least. Yes, Mr. H had warned them to stay inside. And yes, that warning flew over every single one of their empty, little heads (except maybe Ryan and Abi…), but it’s not like he was completely responsible for that! One: it was a group effort. Two: he really wanted to get drunk in the woods. And perhaps partying in the middle of nowhere—in the middle of the night—with a bunch of drunk 18–20-year-olds, miles away from any hospital, police station, or cellphone tower could be seen as… risky. During a full moon, nonetheless. But he could own that, especially seeing as it was his own suggestion that got them there in the first place.

    He could not, however, be blamed for the fucking werewolves. Despite what his father might’ve claimed if he could see his sorry excuse for a son now.

    ---

    My reimagining of The Quarry but set in a universe where werewolves and hunters aren't that uncommon. For Dylan, at least.
