Summary
The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.
"Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"
With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."
Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.

Summary
Nothing was the same when Dess vanished. For anyone. But especially not for Kris Dreemurr and Noelle Holiday. Brought close by their older siblings, they had mattered a lot to one another, and grew to enjoy each others company.
Dess disappearing and Asriel leaving changed that.
Poor Noelle had to learn how to navigate a life without her bold older sister beside her, cheering her on and hyping her up.
Kris had wanted to be there for her. They tried to be there for her. But it had felt as though a wall had built between them. an impossibly tall wedge, driving deeper and deeper, separating them more and more.
If you asked either of them, they'd say they were still friends. But that was... not exactly correct. Not anymore at least.
Grief, fear, and resentment built, and they kept each other at arms length.
They yearned deeply for the past they cherished. But could it ever come back with such a turbulent present?
One of them had to try eventually.

Summary
Have you ever thought about a world where everything is exactly the same... except you don't exist?
Goner used to live happily with her brother and their adopted family. Until she woke up one day and discovered all traces of her were gone, like she'd been erased from existence. Now, she's forced to live as if she’s a ghost. Experiencing life alongside those she loves without them realizing it.
When her brother is thrown into a crazy adventure with new and old friends, she can only watch from the sidelines. Kris can't see her or hear her or even remember her, but she's still there. And, as the light fades, shadows grow, and her brother's behavior grows stranger each day, she'll be by his side every step of the way.

Summary
For the human Kris Dreemurr, life had been passing by by an almost day-to-day slog for the past six years. They hadn't been living, so much as existing. But when the day comes for the beginning of senior-year projects, things spiral out into something they could have never predicted. And through a connection they have no control of, will they be able to endure it all, or will their emotions succumb to the darkness?
