Summary
Jean continues to wait until Clare’s eyes flicker up, over her shadowed, bare torso beneath the cloak and up to her face. All Clare sees in Jean’s expression is curiosity. That, and the inexplicable trust in her silver eyes that’s lingered there ever since Clare wrapped her arms around Jean’s neck and refused to let her die. Clare told her that her life debt has been repaid, but if Jean insists on following her and looking at her like that, so openly, so intensely, then maybe she should … “How is your body?”
The only indication that Clare has surprised her is the way the edges of Jean’s eyes widen for a brief moment and then soften ever so slightly. Clare doubts she would have noticed when they first escaped Riful, but in the few days that passed since she has found herself watching Jean just as closely as Jean watches her.
“Completely fine, thanks to you,” Jean says, and Clare knows she means it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautiful Clare/Jean work that feels grounded in canon and true to character while also exploring their connection in something sweet, a little sad, and very them.

Summary
She starts to ask where the hell he’s been, then, if he’s not dead or dying, but then she hears it: a woman’s voice in the background, uttering that one syllable. That one simple syllable. The one from which she herself has long been barred.
Fox.

Summary
She thinks it’s a joke at first when she finds out that Joel’s a patroller, too. She’s a veteran, so it was a simple thing for her to be assigned to the work as well, but the idea of gentle, loving Joel with a gun in hand, fighting and killing, is almost laughably absurd.
She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who spends hours on the porch with his daughter patiently teaching her guitar and think “yes, he’s good in a fight.” She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who regularly scoops up his fussy nephew and soothes him with an experienced parent’s deftness and think “yes, he’ll absolutely kill without hesitation.” She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who lets his teenager manhandle him to steal his food right off his plate because it makes her laugh and think “yes, he’s ruthless enough to take out a threat.”
She doesn’t know how anyone could look at Joel Miller and think he’d be a good patroller, and day by day, she worries about it more and more.

Summary
“983,” the guard calls, clanging a baton on the bars of the cell. He doesn’t bother to look up, very busy tracing out the state of Texas in the lines on the wall. He’s found four of them so far. He’s trying for a fifth. “New buddy.”
He does exhale through his nose at that, slightly amused to find out what new victim they’re offering him this time. He doesn’t have a great reputation with his “buddies,” the fuckers attached by handcuff to their cellmates to make it harder to escape, a standard practice in FEDRA prison. He’s gone through four now, each and every one of them trying to pull a power play by picking a fight.
It hadn’t gone well for any one of them.
“Try not to kill this one too quickly,” the guard says, and there’s a certain amount of anticipatory glee in the man’s voice that sets off a quiet alarm in his head.
He lifts his head, needing to see what makes this new inmate so special.
And looks right at a kid who can’t be older than 14, absolutely swamped by a prison outfit meant for someone about three sizes larger.
A girl, in the middle of a men’s prison.

But it’s still a house key.

The Bride by ThereAndGone for reapersun
Fandoms: Outlast (Video Games), The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
01 Nov 2020
Tags
Summary
When Waylon’s plans with his friends backfire and the only solution for their final weekend of college fun is a trip to a cabin in the woods with Jeremy-fucking-Blaire, Waylon had half a mind to bail. But these were his friends, and this was supposed to be their time together, Jeremy or not. So what if the place was straight out of a horror game. So what if the basement was filled with creepy antiques that made him feel uneasy and uncomfortably excited. He was committed. He was going to make the most of it.
He just hadn’t anticipated the murder. The death. The man covered in blood with a knife and dressed as a horrible groom.
And he definitely hadn’t anticipated the insidious pull the man had on him, like Waylon was hearing dark wedding bells and they rang all for him.
Heavily inspired by reapersun’s Cabin in the Woods AU comic.
