    Summary

    Blaze-born courtship rituals were a thing that Tango saw as if through a foggy window. He’d been rejected by the Tek Pyre when he was ten, basically the literal instant the pyre rules allowed them to throw him out. Even when he had been living there, he’d been belittled and abused. It was hard, because a lot of the things felt stilted to him, and yet also slotted perfectly into place. Like he should be doing them naturally, and yet had never been taught precisely the right steps, or the correct delivery. Blaze-borns were fire. They were possessive and consuming by nature. Things like courtship necklaces were meant to try and negate some of those feelings before they could turn violent, as far as Tango understood. It was selfish. It was greedy. Yet he couldn’t help himself.

    Zed was beautiful. He was brilliant and bright and sun-kissed. He didn’t belong to the dark place where Tango was raised, sputtering and sparking.

    Yet Tango couldn't help but want even just a tiny piece of that beauty all to himself.

    {in which Tango fails successfully 5 times straight, Zed needs some neosporin for multiple reasons, and there's a very, very conveniently timed power outage}

    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!

    Illustrations for this series are by @khoirkid!

    Summary

    They look dead. The worst part is the first moment when you think you’re seeing a ghost. Not like Ghostbur, but something scarier. Viler. Nobody’s quite sure where they came from; nobody’s quite sure why they’re here. Nobody knows why they hunger for souls, leaving a wake of destruction behind a growing tide of flesh.

    Wilbur and Quackity try to survive in a world that hates them. They fail. Or maybe they succeed. Along the way, there's zombies and kisses and murder.
    This is a story about many things, including: Hell & souls; love, survival, and loving yourself; funerals and murder and mutual hatred with the world.

    (First a zombie apocalypse, then a Demolition Lovers AU, but you don't have to know what that is to read.)

    Summary

    They're talking, they're teasing each other, they're doing the kind of dumb stupid shit teenagers do. It feels good, is the thing. Quackity can't remember the last time he was this relaxed, this uncaring. This purely happy.

    Somehow, they wind up at the wedding pavilion. It makes sense. It seems, to Quackity's alcohol-soaked mind, like a logical conclusion to the night.

    So when Wilbur dares him to marry him, he says yes.
