Summary
“Do you want to get smeared?”
“What?”
“Do you want to be an angel smeared with dirt?” asked the voice, devoid of emotion.
All laughter was gone from Will’s face, and he frowned. “Okay, very funny. Who is this?”
“Someone who knows that you leave your window open at night.”
A transgressive story about codependency, mental disorders and counterculture set in a small midwestern town in the 90s.

Summary
Will is a young gay man committed to Lazarus by his father. Traumatized and alone, he's assigned to Cell 44—right next to Cell 45, where Mike lives. Mike is infamous: violent, isolated, feared by patients and staff alike.
Through late night conversations, Will learns fragments of Mike—his sharp wit, his cruelty, his unexpected tenderness. Mike teaches Will to breathe through panic attacks after his traumatic conversion therapy sessions. But Mike also pushes Will away, warning him to stay distant, insisting nothing good comes from getting close to him. A psychological tension between horror and attraction, exploring whether a monster can be capable of tenderness—and whether Will's inability to fear Mike makes him brave, broken, or both.Bookmarked by FirebirdBandit

Summary
Four years of peace, completely shattered. Mike and Will begin experiencing haunting, inescapable visions of their worst nightmares coming to life, and they both revolve around the same fatal weakness: their love for each other.
Vecna is back.
With the lines between reality and terror blurring, they have to face the ultimate test. Can love defeat fear, or will the darkness consume them both?
OR: my spin on a Leviticus AU (no Leviticus spoilers and you don’t need to watch it to understand what’s going on)
