    Summary

    “If you heard what we said, then you know what Puffy told me about you,” Tommy said, giving Wilbur a sticky sweet smile that was more akin to him baring his teeth.

    Wilbur’s face must’ve reflected the way his heart skipped a beat at that, because Tommy’s grin widened now that he’d found a thread to pull.

    “So?” Wilbur asked, struggling to act like he didn’t care about that part of the conversation.

    “So, I want to know what’s wrong with you.”

    The thread tugged right in the center of his chest, and Wilbur wondered if this was what it was like to unravel.

    or, Wilbur is only a few months away from getting his degree when he has a mental breakdown and is unwillingly pulled out of his classes. With nothing to fill his days, Phil gets Wilbur a part time job at a local bookstore, where he finds himself getting trained by a loud-mouthed teenager who hates his guts right off the bat. Great. All he wants to do is graduate, but now he has to deal with a seventeen year old trying to get him fired. Thanks Phil.

    But somehow, this kid ends up being exactly what Wilbur needs.

    Summary

    “Okay, so… why are you holding my joint?”

    Tommy glanced at the joint again before shrugging. “Weed helps anxiety, right?”

    Wilbur blinked. “Uh, usually, yeah.”

    “Alright, then.”

    Suddenly, Tommy was stuffing the joint in his hoodie pocket, and walked over to Wilbur’s closet. Next thing Wilbur knew, there was a jacket being thrown in his face, followed by the nearby thud of what he guessed was Tommy throwing his shoes at him.

    Yanking the jacket off his face, Wilbur glared at his little brother. “What is this?”

    “What do you think, dumbass?” Tommy asked, gesturing to the jacket and shoes now sitting on the floor in front of Wilbur. “We’re going out.”

    or, freshly home from university for the summer, Wilbur has a panic attack over his grades. Good thing Tommy is there to pull him out of his head.

    Summary

    He glanced up again, and this time his eyes caught on the TV playing in the corner of the cafe. The volume was turned down, but Wilbur read the headline and found himself forgetting all about the drawings on Tommy’s jacket.

    Coven cleared of all legal suspicion for recent Turning

    The captions were on for the TV, and while they weren’t very accurate, Wilbur tried to read what the newscaster was saying anyway.

    ”The Turning was ruled by a judge to be an act of the Good Samaritan Law, and no criminal charges will be brought to the vampire or his coven as a whole.”

    or, vampires and humans have coexisted for over a century now, each minding their own business. Frankly, Wilbur barely knows anything about vampires, and he likes it that way. All that matters to him is his bookstore job, his motorcycle, and his best friend, Tommy. It's not like he has any reason to get involved in the world of the undead. That's not his problem.

    At least until the undead start knocking on his door, telling him that Tommy is somehow far more involved in the world of vampires than Wilbur could've ever guessed. Then it becomes his problem.

    Summary

    The church is the same as it was. White steeples and purple stained-glass windows. A weeping willow hangs over the entrance, offering shade where no is needed. Not with the chill that pierces Wilbur to his core, curling with the warmth of whiskey. Faces turn to them as they approach. Their own crowd of well-wishers. Sympathy for Phil as they reach for him, and apprehension for Wilbur as he stands alone.

    Nobody comments on the way Wilbur’s hands shake, or the fact that his hair is greasy and limp. They don’t comment on the way he stumbles in his step because the world is spinning. Not to his face, at least. He sees plenty of familiar faces, hidden behind hands as they stared at him. Whispers follow as he walks into the church, a step behind Phil. Buzzing around his head, crawling into his ears.

    Who shows up drunk to a funeral?

    Tommy's back fucking hurts, surely it's just his posture? Yeah no, he's a bird. Not how he thought his Sunday home alone would go.
