    Summary

    Grace's favorite book is Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and he finds himself returning to a certain quote. “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” In context, it makes a lot more sense, but it boils down to this: the universe is so massive that the chance of even bumping into a piece of debris out there, let alone another spaceship, is almost entirely impossible.

    “So,” he thinks aloud, “how in the heck is there another craft out there?”

     

    aka Grace and Rocky pick up Simon on their way back from planet Adrian, and they try to live, because what else can they do?

    title is from venus by sleeping at last :)

    Summary

    "I told you already, I can’t do this."
    There was a tug of war between staying or leaving inside of Derek.
    "I can’t."
    But he wanted.
    How much longer would he be able to resist temptation?
    He was the one thing in life he could control.
    But why did it feel like he was losing even that?
    Control was such a fickle thing after all.
    When would he cross the line of no return?

    What if he coudn’t?
    What if he wouldn’t?
    What if he managed to pull off a miracle?
    Why did he act like he could?

    -

    In which Avery searches for answers while Derek searches for meaning. Somehow they meet each other in the middle.

    (This is going to be a rewrite of the entire story with a few additions.)

    Summary

    Blocky eyes formed haphazardly from what Derlord guessed was its face, then a mouth that smiled sheepishly at him, wide and wobbly.

    “…Really.”

    Derlord dragged a hand down his face, pinching the bridge of his nose. He didn’t know why he expected anything else.

    “A slime block,” he muttered, “Three months of savings…gone.”

    The cube squelched softly in response.

     

    Or
    Fantasy au where adventurer D3rlord3 summons his first familiar, and of course, it’s a slime.

    (Aka, pure silly fluff)

    Summary

    A Perfect World Away where Avid doesn't actually die!

    Although, the coven has many, many flaws and many follies that need to be corrected. Avid being staked certainly isn't the first real problem, nor is it the most important to the coven's integrity. They have many, many things that must be done if they want to get out of Oakhurst still functioning.

    Includes character re-development for Pyro, Owen, Legundo, and Shelby (And Scott and Avid ofc) that's mostly centered on their relationship or connection to Pyro and Owen 'killing' Avid.
    Small developments on Pearl, Drift, and Cleo, but more as an extension of something else than their own storyline.
    There's seldom development for characters Martyn, Ren, Apo, Cleo, Abolish, and Sausage. That group is generally the same relevance as they are in Scott's episode 8 for reference.

    Feel free to ignore the RPF tags. This is not RPF, but when I clicked "enter" when tagging it just auto-selected and I can't be assed to change it.
    everything before chapter 5 was written before episode 8 came out
    Anything up to Avid's death is canon in universe, and anything after is being bent to my will because I'm the god of this world. thanks.
