Summary
They built the Thing long past the outskirts of town. It was far enough away so no respectable people: good - normal - people, would have to see it and think about the degenerates locked away there. Or worse, hear them.
They built the Thing out of solid red brick - a rusty red dredged up from the clay in the rivers. A good local clay fired by good local boys building an economy and industry in the town. When it rained, the slick facade of the building looked like it was bleeding - yet another reason for it to remain out of sight.
Of course, the problem with towns: they grow.
A fic about Arkham before and after the bats, and what makes Gotham the city it is.

Summary
One second he was swallowing down warm - disgustingly warm - blood, desperately trying not to let it go down the wrong pipe and fill his lungs even more. The next, he opens his eyes, a tube miraculously doing the breathing for him, no pain, clean light up above, and a holy angel looking down on him.
The Convict knows it was an Angel, even though it looked like a person, because no one’s eyes could ever be that kind.

Summary
“Bella is-that is to say, her thoughts…” Edward struggled valiantly to find a way to phrase it before blurting out the shameful truth about his wife. “She’s stupid!”
Alice laughed. It felt pointed. Cruel.
“Oh, Edward. She’s not stupid. She’s a perfectly normal 18 year old high school girl,” Alice reassured as Edward’s expression grew more horrified with every word. “At worst she’s shallow, a shallow dish that’s reflecting your powers right back at you, showing you exactly what you want to see. Like Narcissus.”

Summary
Joel and Ellie struggle to adjust to a completely new society from a background of overidealized nuclear family structure (Texas) and rising fascism (FEDRA, and also sometimes Texas).
A series of unconnected one shots showing Ellie and Joel slowly acclimatizing to Jackson. They both bring their own baggage but together they can work through it. Sometimes comedic, sometimes dramatic, these one shots are in no clear order, with the only overlap being some Jackson residents.

Summary
“What did Mr Hayward actually say, Mr Ryder?” she huffed, all worries about being rude out of the window. Mr Ryder had the decency to look ashamed as he spoke.
“He said that he would be in need of a wife for the chambers to take him seriously for promotion. It’s a question of status as much as anything, you understand. Tom said that…well, that it didn’t much matter who the wife was as long as they were vaguely tolerable.”
Mary felt her nose twitch. Her hands had balled into fists under the table in her lap.
“...Vaguely tolerable?”
aka: ryder is getting a bit desperate, so he tells a white lie to dissuade mary from tom. naturally, it only brings them closer (after a few tears are shed)

After all, who wouldn’t want a cat that seemingly can’t die?
Hua Cheng, for one.

Summary
Lang Qianqiu did not seal his teacher in a coffin, his rage was too great to merely seal away the source of his grief.
In other words:
Xie Lian needs a little help to put himself back together, in a very literal way. Hua Cheng would give anything to be able to.
