  Michael Afton decides life is just not worth living anymore. His family suffers the consequences.

  Edit: It's only a day after I posted this and I'm having lots of regrets but I will keep this up for the people that want to read my boring vent fic lol. Please don't judge.

   

  (Song title is This is Home by Cavetown. This fic was inspired by the poem But You Didn't by Merrill Glass)

  Summary

  "Things were.....weird.

  Truthfully, a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 of things in d3rlord3's life were weird. But weirdest was the slime that had managed to plant itself into it all."

  When d3rlord3 finds Avery in the forest, he had brushed it off as a one time occurrence. But then the slime keeps coming back, and d3rlord3 finds himself selfishly becoming attached...

  But things can never last, can they? Not under the king.

   

  Or

   

  The author can't summarise to save their life.
