    Summary

    After a disorienting night on tour, Gerard wakes up in 2005.

    He remembers exactly how this story ends. The problem is that changing it means lying to everyone he loves, and the more desperately he tries to protect the future, the more damage he does to the present.

    Something went wrong, or something finally came back.

    Either way, the past remembers him too well.

    AUTHOR'S WARNING: This started as a silly time-travel fix-it and somehow evolved into a LONG character study about communication, regret, and second chances. The early chapters are shorter than the later ones and a little rough around the edges (•́ ᴖ •̀)

    Please enjoy the emotional damage.

    Summary

    People don't leave the town of Spike Heart. It's a closed off corner of the world, almost as if there were a thick glass dome incasing it. A snow globe of a pristine little Catholic town.

    And that's exactly where Gerard finds himself, dragged away from the city that raised him. Made to build a new life for himself and his brother in this much smaller world, even though it feels like there isn't a point anymore.

    But to his shock, he finds two.

    Two very sharp ones that he knows will leave a scar whether he wants them to or not.

    Summary

    I think the Government forgot to shut down this website. I work for the MCR (Ministry of Complementary Reconditioning) and I want the world to know what really happened. I have proof. I will publish it here, in the hopes of sharing with someone - anyone willing to listen.

    Summary

    “I just—I’m sorry.” They bite their lip and look away. The ghost of Party Poison’s coyness on a body that doesn’t know how to wear it. Anger is coiling in Ghoul’s gut, cold-blooded and slow. When they look back up, their eyes are beetle-black and shining in the moonlight. “I wish I could remember.” So simple. Like words might still mean something in the desert.

    Ghoul takes the coward’s way out. The slam of the diner door punctuates his exit, final like a signature, leaving Poison small and alone under the stars.
