Loop Number 542
A few loops after the kiss comes the worst loop.
It starts out like it always does, Dustin comes in, they find Eddie, they hide Eddie, they make a plan.
It all happens because Steve grabs the wrong radio. All these loops and he never knew that Erica's radio goes flat. How many times had she called for help, to hear no reply?
How had he missed a flat radio? He's always the one reminding them to put new batteries in. He thought they just didn't call, that they were too distracted. Now here he was with a dead radio.
It had all gone wrong. How could one dead radio cause all this. Robin had died how she always did, Steve hated that he was used to it. But before they could leave, before Steve even looped, a vine had come through the hole in the wall and hit Nancy, she died in 15 seconds. Steve had run down the stairs, begging for the loop to finish, he begged his alarm clock to take him away. Another vine had ripped into his leg as he ran. He tried calling for help, no reply. He limped back to the trailer.
Where was his alarm clock, what more did the loop want him to see?
The trailer door was stuck. Steve had discovered it was Eddie's body holding it closed, he screamed for Dustin. He found Dustin in Eddie's room, he'd tried hiding under the bed from the bats, it hadn't worked.
He screamed and begged to be taken away, cried into his radio for help, no reply.
When he finally made it to the Creel house it was dead silent.
Steve saw Erica's body first. Beaten to death on the playground, radio near her body.
Lucas was on the stairs, bullet hole in his chest.
He found Max last, cradling her broken body and sobbed.
How much longer would he have to do this?
Would it ever end?
For a moment he thought maybe this was the end, his final punishment, everyone he'd ever loved, dead, and him, alive and alone.
He loved back down the stairs, got in the car, pushed his foot down on the accelerator, and closed his eyes.
He cried when the alarm woke him up.

Oz: Helpful grammar tip: “farther” is for physical distance, “further” is for methaphorical distance, and “father” is for emotional distance!

The Mark: An InuKog Story
Now live on Ao3!
Hi everyone! I am very pleased to bring you a special story (of sorts) for @inu-mothership‘s Fleet Week Day 4: Submarine Ship Day. It’s for a ship that truly snuck up on me: InuKog. I really love writing them, because you can do so many different things, like...this little dark story, featuring a vampire Inuyasha and a werewolf Kōga!
This one is SUPER dark (like when I went back and reread it, yeah, it’s pretty damn dark), so please do heed the tags. But if you like a little bit of horror, I hope you enjoy!
And the wonderful @thornedraven was kind enough to do a very dark and very stunning art commission! Thank you so much for agreeing to do the art for this one, my dear!
Story Summary: Vampire InuYasha has put a lot of time, money, and effort into his mark. So what's this sexy werewolf doing sniffing around his prey?

A Dark Love Language quiz results
consumption of a heart unloved
Here’s a dining table, here’s a set of plates. Here’s your heart, red and bursting with love. You have tried to love people all your life, but no one seems to understand you. Your own mother perhaps forgot to teach you how to protect yourself, maybe people whom you trusted chose to look the other way when all you wanted was a hand full of love. All you want is someone to take from you, all you want is someone to dig in your heart and eat it and kiss you afterwards - bloody and red. You want them to tell you that you are what they have been looking for, you want to be the one who ends their hunger.

frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?
annabeth: yes
frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?
annabeth: yes
frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?
annabeth: yes.
