    Summary

    You have faint memories from your childhood of two colorful fish you once saved while on vacation, you may have even thought your child mind made it up if not for the bite scars on your finger one of them gave you.

    Now you were moving back to that same beach from back then, but were the colorful scales you caught a glimpse of in the ocean just a figment of your imagination? Surely those two little fish wouldn't have lived and stayed at the beach for the past twenty years, right?

    (The version of Eclipse I use is from before RUIN came out. They are nothing alike.)

    Summary

    'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

    Or, -

    Summary

    "Oh... God." Ben swallowed. He was barely fourteen - he knew this was way above his paygrade, but Abaddon looked so... small. And confused and helpless, standing hunched in the corner. Something in Ben's heart twisted, like a knife plunged deep inside of him, too deep to ever retrieve.

    "Abaddon, I'm not going to kill myself!"

    Abaddon blinked and looked up at him, his eyes sunken and wide at the same time. "You aren't?"

    ~
    After a rough week at school, Ben is having a lazy weekend. At least he would be, if Abaddon would get the hell out of his room.

    AKA Ben realises his demon brother may be a tiny bit traumatised.

    Summary

    “…Abaddon?” Nathan says a bit slower, like she just hadn’t remembered the first time. Like she just hadn’t got it. “He’s the- Gosh, did I not tell you about Abaddon? I mean, guess that makes sense, he hasn’t actually been talking to me but jeez, how scatterbrained-“

    Kathy sighed. “Stop. Just- stop,” she turned to face him. “Who’s Abaddon?”

    Summary

    Abaddon was tired. So very tired.

    The endless loops - 73? 80? 90? He didn't know how many times he had done this - had drained him. Had taken everything from him and left him so exhausted. Exhausted enough to just... Sleep.

    And so he slept. He slept for 300 years, past the evolution of the town and the manor and the modern history since being possessed. The events remain the same, being found by Nathan, and taken to the manner and cared for... Yet everything is different now.

    He didn't mean to change the events so much. He was just tired.

    Meanwhile, Nathan is having a panic attack because he's convinced himself that he just rescued a child that a cult tried to sacrifice in the woods. From one cult survivor to another, it's a no brainer that he decides to keep this disturbed little boy.

    “Your son.” She finished, and Nathan could almost see it. She would be grasping to sit down, or clutching her heart as if it, too, would fail her. “You have a son?”

    After a moment, Nathan spoke. “Maybe?”

    “And you didn’t tell me?”

    “…No.” He collapsed into the desk chair, the old wheels squeaking and sliding underneath him. “I haven’t had him for that long, and he’s been having a hard time adjusting. I dont know, I’m just making up excuses.” He shook his head. “Are you mad?”

    She hummed, thinking for a moment. “How old is he?” Which wasn’t an answer, but.

    Nathan winced. “Uh, nine.”

    “Thats a long time to keep a kid a secret.”

    Summary

    After hearing one last pitiful cry, he pokes his head through the last clump of leaves in his way and finds himself face to face with—

    A cat.

    A small cat, with orange fur that’s flecked through with leaves and small twigs, perched on the branch with its claws extended as it hangs on for dear life.

    The cat meows as soon as it sees him. Gorgug just blinks.

    “Uh… Hi? I’m Gorgug,” he says, somewhat pointlessly. Unless— “Are you a magic cat?”

    Summary

    You never had to concern yourself about soulmates. They were a fun romance trope but never anything more — until three weeks ago. Now in a world that isn't quite your own, you have to worry about your destiny being tied to someone else all the while trying to figure out why history is being rewritten.

    It isn't until you finally meet your fabled "other half" that you start to realise that soulmates aren't the only thing different about this world.

    Summary

    Michael was fine with his death, and it seemed like for a moment his afterlife wouldn't even be that bad, he even had a normal body again, a definite bonus.

    Though, he couldn't help but wonder why his father was here and not down under, and why Evan and Elizabeth seemed to have no ill will to him.

    And why was everything so familiar, why was he a child in his afterlife, he hadn't particularly liked being one even when he was alive, and was William not being super murder-y or was that just him...

    Hmm... Maybe this wasn't the afterlife after all... Strange.

    Summary

    The typical time travel story? NO

    It was already 9:00 p.m. when Michael, who usually came home much earlier, made his entrance. Something in his attitude was different. Instead of the usual brusqueness and disregard for the rules of the house, he seemed to be enveloped in a kind of calm. He ignored Dad, who was in the living room, and headed straight for him and Elizabeth.

    Evan's surprise was total when his brother, with an expression that was halfway between despair and tenderness, hugged them both. It wasn't the kind of gesture she would expect from him, much less after having seen him tease her with that unpleasant mask.

    From the corner of the room, William, the boys' father, watched the scene with a mixture of surprise and confusion. The way his eldest son had behaved, the abrupt change in his behavior, and the way he was clinging to his brothers, all of that was a mystery to him. He stopped his reprimand to watch, wondering what had caused such a transformation in his son. The question was drawn in his mind: What had happened for his stupid son to change? Was it a simple emotional reaction, or was there something deeper behind this sudden change?

    Summary

    He vaguely thinks of how easy it would be to kill William right now.

    To go to the kitchen, to get a knife and stab him in his sleep, he’d probably get sent to a mental asylum, or some sort of juvenile detention, but that’d be okay. No one else would die.

    He opens the door, and William isn’t there.

    It’s only his mother sleeping soundly in bed, and Michael thinks that’s a good thing for William because Michael probably would have killed him.

    After the fire, Michael thought he would be finally free, that he'd finally be able to rest, maybe even reunite with the family he’d wronged so much. However, fate has other plans for him, as he wakes up to a ceiling he hasn't seen since he was a teenager.

    Summary

    "The point is, I bet you five dollars when you go back the chair is going to be empty. Ten bucks if the man's not gone but you can’t wake him up because you’re having hallucinations from sleep deprivation.”

    “It sounds like the last one happened to you, Mikey.”

    “I have no idea how you reached that conclusion,” Michael said, ignoring the eyebags dark enough to make the night look like day.

     

    ••○••••○••••○••••○••••○••

     

    Being woken up by your dead brother in the year 1982 is bad enough on its own, but it's made even worse when whatever force that sent you back in time didn't give you "almost functioning human" privileges. Rude. (Or: Time Travel Fix-It but nothing is taken seriously.)
