    Summary

    At the end of the world you have so few friends left. What will you do when you end up alone again?

    Or

    How you come to Jackson and fall into a complicated relationship with Joel Miller.

     

    “You lost?”

     

    That voice. That same low, languid, gravelly husk that you had heard the previous night, now with an edge of a challenge to it breaks into your thoughts and demands your undivided attention.

     

    You whirl around again, look back in the direction of where you have just been walking and see him – tall, imposing and as broad as ever. Ruggedly Handsome is exiting the front yard of one of the houses, looking down at the cuffs of his coat and adjusting them, as if he has just put the garment on. The gesture itself is casual but you can see the coiled tension in his shoulders. If he doesn't like your answer, you can expect to be challenged on who you are and why you're here.

     

    “Not lost. Just new,” you reply after gathering your composure.

    Summary

    "You're dreaming, I should think," His breath caressed my skin. It was there and then gone, far too fleeting. "So why am I here, Sixteen?" I didn't have an answer.

    "I don't know," I muttered. My heart thumped noisily in my chest. I could not think. "Can you make it stop?"

    His eyes flitted over mine. I could feel him like an infection. Crawling through my veins, warming my blood, shutting down my organs one by one until I was helpless, left with no other option aside from watching as he overtook me.

    "Do you want me to make it stop?” He gently tilted my head up. I was soundless as this all unfolded, unable to fight it, unsure if I even wanted to.

    ~

    After Sixteen is abducted and taken to Hawkins Lab, she must adjust to life under the oppressive glare of Martin Brenner. Peter Ballard, an orderly who oversees her training, aims to the transition all the more difficult.

    Summary

    “He is fairer than the morning star, and whiter than the moon. For his body I would give my soul, and for his love I would surrender heaven.”

    —Oscar Wilde

    ~~
    A series of Peter Ballard/Henry Creel/001 Oneshots or short stories. Each chapter will generally be a different story. This fanfiction will mostly focus on the ‘nice’ Henry Creel, or namely Peter Ballard.

    Will generally contain:
    - Fluff (mostly)
    - Hurt/Comfort

    Smut is unlikely to appear, thought it may.

    Update whenever I get a good idea (ideas welcome!)

    Would love to hear feedback or suggestions in the comments :)

    Summary

    El tucks a strand behind her ear and gives a look to Argyle, “How do you get your hair so pretty?”

    “Just good ‘ole peace and love,” Argyle states.

    El tilts her head, perplexed. Usually it’s good shampoo and conditioner that makes people’s hair look nice. But, Argyle said he was a hair expert. Maybe that’s the secret ingredient.

     

    (El has hair troubles and Argyle helps her).
