    Summary

    Oh, forgive me Lord / Oh, a minor chord
    You put me in this house / I had to claw right out

    Nearly a year since you started your new life, keeping your head down and avoiding trouble. You were finally starting to get some semblance of normalcy- of complacency- when you throw it all out the window to stop the harassment of a street clown. Now he was showing up everywhere. And in a selfish, twisted way you craved him just as badly as he seemed to crave you.

    Eventual Polycirco (aka reader gets w all 5 circus members AND implied all the members are kinda involved to some degree) but starts out VERY Pierrot heavy (w some Harlequin). This was written before day 3 so if there's conflicting canon later, that's why.

    Summary

    Gerry's seen a lot over the years. Books that cause widespread necrosis. People made out of wax. People made out of spiders. A man who married a beetle. It takes a lot to surprise him. That said, the Spiral monster marked by the Lonely catches him off guard.

    Summary

    Life is strange. with ups and downs. stops and reawakening. sometimes strangers met and become lifelong confidantes, or trusted allies are the ones to plunge the dagger into your back. In life you learn; in life you love; and in life you are afraid.
    Never more so than in a world where eldritch horrors are mundane.

    Gerard Keay has a series of run-ins with the chaotic Michel Shelly. Perhaps it is the start to something Beautiful. perhaps its the start of something horrifying.

    Summary

    A downwards spiral (if you'll pardon the pun) and the only way out of it.

    OR

    Gerry Keay's last straw, and the choices that he makes afterwards.

    ~~~

    Gerry is on the brink of falling to the Desolation. There’s a pretty blond man watching him from across the street, and he can’t bring himself to walk away. If there is one thing that he shouldn’t do, it’s this.
