Summary
There once was a man who fell into hell, and his name was Jack Manifold. He fell for seven days and seven nights, or for a thousand and one years, or for no more than five minutes. The point is not the span of time: the point is that he fell into hell, and he did not stop falling. He did not stop falling, that is, until he could take it no more, and decided he would simply not die.
-
In which Jack Manifold brings himself back from the dead, but his grave is not ready to let him go.
This is my fic for the Dreamoire zine!

Summary
“Maybe I did,” concedes Wilbur, and though he tries for grace, his eyes dart frantically around like a rabbit cornered, caged, returning again and again to the church doors. “And how about you, Quackity? Do you, or did you, pray?”
“As a child,” Quackity lies.
“During Doomsday,” Tubbo corrects.
“Tubbo,” says Quackity, “dude. What's your fucking problem?”
-
An exploration of the religious views of each of L'Manberg's presidents, through the eyes of the man who was vice president to two of them. In which Schlatt offers people apples, Wilbur's bad luck has him worshipping sky gods, Tubbo knows a lot about religions he doesn't believe in, and Quackity mourns.

Summary
Tommy has always known he was special. No one ever had to tell him so; he just knew, the same way he always knew when other people were special, too.
Once, he had seen a program about color blindness on the old TV in the living room. He’d been coloring at the table when his mother turned it on—she liked having background noise while she worked—and Tommy’d been transfixed, forgetting all about his crayons. It wasn’t a particularly good program, and he wasn’t particularly interested in such things, but he’d still found himself fascinated. After all, it gave him a way to describe his gift.
What Tommy can do is a bit like if everyone else in the world was color blind, and if he alone could see the colors of other people’s eyes, if he alone could tell when they glowed in the dark. It’s a simple analogy, maybe too simple, because his gift isn’t just colors: Tommy senses powers, sees them and hears them and smells them and tastes them, feels them ripple over his skin like sunlight.
-
In which Tommy Innit moves to the city, becomes the semi-famous vigilante Seer, and makes himself a found family from scratch.

Summary
games of patience: A genre of card games played by one person. Also known as solitaire.
-
The thing about train stations is that if you spend enough time in one, you will always see at least one person you think you know. Wilbur has been at this station for a very, very long time: still, for all the shifting shades with faces that vary from entirely strange to achingly familiar, faces which have taught him to expect to be mistaken in recognition, he knows he recognizes the woman at the newsstand. There is something about her, about her crows, about her face and voice and smile, that rings so true that Wilbur feels the familiarity in his bones.
"Call me Kristin," she'd told him when he'd first stumbled into the station. Her eyes held entire universes, and he couldn't help but stare.
-
In which Wilbur Soot, trapped in limbo, encounters strangers. Some he's never met, some he might as well share blood with; regardless, they are strangers in a station, ones waiting for the train, and he is incredibly alone.

Summary
“You’re not Phil,” says Tubbo, because it’s obvious, really. “Who are you?”
“Oh, good,” the person in Phil's body says, relieved, and plops down in one of the booths. “I’m Kristin. Can I have a burger?"
-
The goddess of death wants fast food, Phil's possessed, and Tubbo is grieving. They work things out.

The series name comes from Kate Bush's song "Strange Phenomena".
This is the superhero AU I was always going to end up writing, made of up six oneshots, one from each of the main characters' perspectives (and possibly more from other POVS, depending on how the writing bug bites me). As always, any content made for or based on this is more than welcome, as long as you have fun making it and send it to me so I can enjoy it, too! :)

FIC OF ALL TIME. Obsessed & unhinged about this one. So well thought out, everything ties back into itself so perfectly—the kind of story that makes you want to reread it just as you've finished.

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
“I’m looking for something,” Lizzie told Joel. “Something important. I have to get back to it before anything bad happens.”
“But you don’t know what it is? Like, what shape it is? What color?”
Lizzie shook her head. The image in her mind was like a dream, shimmering and transparent, thin as gauze. She had to hold it in the corner of her mind in a bubble, and if she thought about it too hard, the bubble popped. Then she had to wait until she had some idea of what she was searching for again, and the last time had taken hours.
The thing she needed was sick or needed protecting— round or squirmy— gasping for oxygen his malformed gills struggled to filter or no, that wasn’t it, it was small and smooth and hidden in the weeds where they decayed, smeared with silt and barnacles and painted ever-so-carefully to look like a harmless, inedible rock.
It was hard to focus on. She knew it as a tightness under her breastbone, a stinging in her eyes. As anxiety that clouded her mind and urged her back, back, we have to hurry. It had been too long. She had been gone too long.

Summary
When Charles Xavier was five years old, he worshiped his father. When he was eleven, he learned to loathe his abusive stepfather. When he was sixteen, he gave up any claim on the family fortune just to escape. At twenty-four, he's moved away from home into a crappy, standard-issue graduate student house, and gone through his degree program with his best friend, Moira, by his side.
He's adjusted. He knows who he is and where he comes from and what his future holds. At least, until a stranger in a bathrobe shows up in his living room, having used his shower, eaten his lunch and, oh yes, broken in uninvited. Suddenly, everything Charles knows to be true about himself may turn out to be wrong, and his future and past both may be more dangerous than he ever could have imagined.
