    Summary

    “So why…why haven’t you consumed me?”

    “You intrigued me,” it cooed directly into his ear.

    No.

    “Your fierce will to survive…”

    No, that wasn’t right.

    “To live.”

    No, that was wrong…

    Something in him was wrong.

    “Stop it!” Simon screamed at last, desperate as he pushed himself back into Eden’s tree — but there was nowhere to go.

    It was in his head.

    In his body.

    …In his mind.

    His heart felt like it was going to explode as he held it in pain.

    He thinks he’s begging. He has to be. He can feel his lips moving, but his ears are muted to the sound of his babbling. All he is — all that he can hear — is the voice of God in his ear.

    “I could make you a god,” it continues, either unaware or uncaring of his distress as he watched, horrified, as tendrils of prismatic light drifted from its swirling iris. Nebulas gutted themselves before him and bled into his world so that they could curl around him.

    . . .

    Simon wakes after what should have been the end.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Easily the best cosmic horror writing I've read in a good long while, with the added bonus of gut-wrenchingly beautiful prose and a sprinkling of magpod references As A Treat.

    Summary

    She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.

    “…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”

    Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.

    The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.

    “You’re the spitting image of your mother.”

    ---

    Or: what if Pyrrha rescued Gideon from the Ninth as a child?

    Summary

    The Avengers think Moon Knight just has no marbles left to lose. The system is not amused.
    Khonshu is gleeful and Jake just doesn't want to deal with this shit anymore. At least the god will keep bringing him back if this mission goes way more sideways than it already has, right?
    Right?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The Avengers make assumptions about Moon Knight, his god, and his mental condition, and accidentally/negligently kill him several times over. Valkyrie makes them feel bad about it. It’s great.

    Summary

    “Do you always cook for werewolves you come across?”

    “Is that what you guys are?” Finstock flipped a pancake and grinned at her with his ridiculous teeth. “Werewolves?” He whistled and made up the first plate of pancakes, holding it out for Cora to take. “Well I’m be damned. I’ve never met a werewolf before.”
