i want to write this fic that's like — cowboy bakugou, late 1800's style LOL
with him as a leeeeetle bit older, spent his life in cattle drives, wanted to be a marshal at some point, but his health and injuries from his younger days made it hard 🥺 he doesn't settle down, doesn't have any kids though he's in his mid-30's, and — one day he gets a letter that toshinori dies.
it's really supposed to be deku's responsibility, but only god knows where he is. probably got the news and can't accept it, too chicken-shit to face it. yeah, it tears katsuki up inside, too, but someone has to stick around in musutafu and help figure out his estate, the ranch.
help figure out you.
toshinori married in his late age, an ad he put out on the paper. bought you, as katsuki has always said, though the older man would always just smile wryly at the comment, look around at his extensive acreage, his horses and cattle, and he'd say,
"i only want someone to share this with, young man, do you understand?"
and he didn't. he really, really didn't. especially because you were younger than even bakugou, fresh-faced, hardly knew how to cook anything decent or how to ride a horse. waste of money, in katsuki's eyes.
but when he arranges his feelings right, he meets you on the ranch and — you're scared, because you're now a widowed woman and everyone and their mama wants a piece. you have the money, now, to upkeep the place but you've never done it by yourself. have learned more in the few years you've been married but it's a big place, a big responsibility.
and when katsuki hears that the bank wants to take it all from you, he's all, "over my dead fuckin' body."
it's really all deku's responsibility, since he and toshinori were closer, but you need someone now. and if bakugou has to stay in the house with you and help with the ranch, make sure no one comes to bother you—
then he'll do it. because that's what the old man would've wanted.

stories that are inspired by House of Leaves and feature malevolent architecture and houses that change its structure in ways that’s impossible are great and we need more of it especially in horror. but let’s be real: what really cemented House of Leaves as the Book of All Time was Johnny Truant appearing every few pages to give a graphic description of some chick he banged. if a story has only the creepy architecture and does not have a mind-screwy sex scene that appears almost out of nowhere, the story doesn’t exactly take inspiration from HoL as a whole, but rather it takes inspiration from The Navidson Record.

nobody asked but here’s what I think happened after the bar:
- Cam drove becca back to her parents house
- becca thinks about offering her in but knows cam will say no so they both just sit in a weird charged silence
- Cam went home by herself, full of shame and guilt and anger, then proceeded to get shit faced and probably got herself off
