    Summary

    The ironclad re-learns how to work with others, and the regent finds a friend who's sturdy, good at following instructions, and probably doesn't even know what the top 100 chart IS. Frankly, this architect guy doesn't stand a chance.

    (A mostly canon-compliant fic where two spire climbers make an uneasy alliance and discover, amidst all the absurdity and violence, they actually get along *quite well*)

    Summary

    The Wraith had always thought that he was doing the right thing serving as Reaper for the Spirit who'd found him, but when his prey begins acting in ways which make him question that, things in The Entity's realm start to go in directions it won't allow. Any time those barely surviving choose to take a stand, there is always a price to pay, and in a cyclical living nightmare like this, how much can the survivors really afford to believe in?

    Is it truly possible for there to be any good end when you're already in hell?

    Halfway through Ch.40

    Genuinely has an interesting take on the fog and its workings. Lot of lovely moments amongst even the grimmest ones, Wraith is a sweetheart and concept of breaking through the Entity's hold to the killers is intriguing.

    Summary

    You are not strong in the Sight. To you, the supernatural has become the background noise of a mundane and lonely life. You have no interest in becoming involved with ghosts.

    But they have every interest in you.

    When your eccentric great uncle offers you a job fixing the ‘jewel’ of his collection—the original Fazco Daycare Attendant—you expect a challenge, sure. This was undoubtedly going to be the biggest project of your life. You expect pain, mistakes, and late nights aplenty, and you expect an excruciating learning curve.

    You do not expect the other Daycare Attendants.

    This is a story about love and memories, about secret things and ghosts.

     

    How can you know what to live for when the world you were built for is gone?

    Desperately need to catch up on this, might very well re-read, but worth it. Sorry to everyone I've dragged into the robot pit with me.

    Summary

    Spamton accidentally falls out of the inventory after the events of Chapter 3. Alone and without anybody to help him in Castle Town, where mainly those who still know him aren't friendly to him, Spamton finds a recently-recruited television who doesn't recognize him whatsoever and chooses to use this to his advantage.

    Summary

    The pen weighed like lead in his hand.

    A sword hung heavy above his head, and Spamton knew that signing the contract would sever the thin thread holding it aloft. He should not sign it.

    The lord of the screens, cleaved red by blade. An addison turned puppet, strings cleaved by prophecized heroes. But long before that, a budding relationship, cleaved in two by the same forces that brought them together in the first place. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and for the light that they brought each other, they were both cast into darkness.

    It's in their darkest moments that their fates are intertwined once again. But they've been apart for much longer than they've been together, and the years have not been kind to either of them. Rebuilding takes time, and they may not be the same people as they once were, but their light is due for a rekindling.
