    Summary

    Given a second chance, Giyuu Tomioka walks a path he never imagined—one where every choice, every bond, could alter the future. By guiding Tanjiro, reconciling with Urokodaki, and seeking allies long before they were meant to be, he lays the first stones of a new tomorrow. It is both an ending and a beginning… the quiet start of a story yet to unfold.

    First part of my series, “Still Water Run Deep” 🫶

    Summary

    I think, therefore I am.

    Neil Josten has spent his whole life running. He knows the rules: keep moving, keep lying, keep quiet. But when a chance at something more dangerous than safety drags him off the sidelines, Neil finds himself caught between a past he can't run from and a future he didn't think he could have.

    Or what if Neil was a little more anxious, a little more traumatised and a little more scary.

    Summary

    Neil is caught by the police with Mary's burning body and is sent to juvie in Oakland where he is assigned to share a cell with one Andrew Doe, who promises him Exy, if only Neil will tell him all of his secrets. With no access to tinted contacts and hair dye, he agrees, it's only a matter of time until he's killed after all. What does he have to lose?

    But Andrew's found someone who knows what a promise means, and he'll be damned if he lets that go without a fight.

    Summary

    It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
    “I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
    Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”

    Or:
    Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.
