Summary
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
- "Anthem" by Leonard Cohen---
Heisenberg flashes his teeth, starting to speak, but you talk over him. "I agreed to your game, and I'm not going back on my word."
Heisenberg's lips pause barely parted. He watches you, chin tilting down - a clue that behind the sunglasses, he's looking you up and down.
He leans forward slightly, his weight pressing into the soles of his boots. Gunmetal grey hair swaying. "We both know," he says your name in a low, gravelly pitch, "this is no longer a game."

You followed a fairytale deep into Romanian woods and found yourself inside a nightmare.

Summary
Raising a kid alone in the factory wasn’t how Heisenberg expected to spend what he hopes are his last years under Miranda’s thumb. Trying to balance his need to be the parent he never had with his rapidly deteriorating patience (and sanity) is beginning to prove impossible, especially when he’s haunted by a living ghost that reminds him of his significant shortcomings - and all that he’s lost.

I needed more Dad!Karl content and decided against all reason to do it myself.
**There is not an easy way to convey this in the tags: there are two OCs in this story. One is Karl's child, the other is an adult romantic partner. Just because there has been some confusion in the past!**

Summary
He was powerless, completely and utterly powerless, and it was the one goddamn time in his life he tried to actually reach out and help… He tried to speak, tried to move, and it hurt. He tried to do anything, and it hurt. He was powerless, and it hurt…
He prayed to that damned dead pixel, to the stars beyond them, to anything or anyone who’d listen…
Please. Please let me have a chance. One more chance to fix this…
Curly woke up, gasping for air, eyes wide. One last chance to make things right.
Aka
Curly finds himself back in the past and with what he knows of the possibilities the future holds, he takes off his rose-tinted glasses and actually takes action to protect his crew from the man he once called a friend

Instead of robbing money from a bodega’s atm, the Spot robs you. Shenanigans ensue and now you two are stuck with each other for the long haul.
