    Summary

    Sixteen-year-old Avery Hastings has a relatively normal life: learning to drive, trying his best not to fail algebra, and helping his best friend Derek Hutchins–the human Vessel of an eldritch entity known as the King in Yellow–stay safe from secret government agents who want to find him after their breakneck escape from the Department of Metaphysical Sciences nearly six months ago. Things get crazy sometimes, but Avery wouldn’t have it any other way.
    Behind the scenes, however, new threats are brewing. The Department has been infiltrated by another entity like the King: powerful, incomprehensible, and intent on ushering in an age of madness, assisted by its human worshipers in the Department and elsewhere. With the government agency responsible for curbing metaphysical threats compromised, and Derek’s eldritch ‘episodes’ worsening, Avery, Derek, their friend Alex, and an unlikely ally from within the organization will have to figure out a way to prevent the apocalypse themselves.

    Summary

    "When you have an option to do the right thing, do you take the risk?"

    There's a special type of stupidity that comes with the DeCruise family name.
    And, unfortunately for fate, Avery is a prime example of it.
    Most recently, that stupidity has surfaced, in the form of breaking into a house to save someone he barely knows- but who he's dead certain he needs.

    And there's not a single bone in his body telling him to turn back now.
    But things tend to happen.

    Or, in which a house is broken into, mirrors shatter under gazes, and the gates might not be closed just yet.

    Summary

    Watch the ferry come in. Make the call. Give them the truth, and watch how long they can live with it. Watch the ferry come in, rinse, repeat.

    It’s a pattern Derek has been living for a long time. As the lighthouse keeper, part of his role is to be the voice over the radio, telling the fire lookout everything they need to know. He’s gotten used to the pattern. First meetings, last meetings, repeat.

    With a new season starting, he doesn’t see why anything will change.

    (Sibling fic of ‘The Stranger in the Lighthouse by Kindryte! That one has Avery’s POV of this story.)

    Summary

    Avery has taken a job as a Fire Lookout during wildfire season on a nice, secluded island, and it's great! Friendly people, stunning nature, a colleague who works in the lighthouse who clearly cares enough to talk Avery through the first night on the job-

    It's pretty great, if you look past The Horrors.

    Unfortunately, said Horrors are quite persistent.

    (Sibling fic of 'The stranger in the lookout' By Poker. Read their story to get Derek's POV of the events)

    Summary

    Ze doesn't know if time passes. The intrusion abates ever so slightly. He can't feel his legs, or arms, or torso, or fingers. He cries into the void for a time that feels like eternity. His voice echoes, echoes, echoes in his head, a single question:

    "WHERE IS THE DOOR?!"

    There is none.

    There's only "here", and it's been this way forever.

    Maybe he deserves this.

     

    ***

     

    Regect is not scary.
