    Summary

    Keith was settled on his knees, blood dripping down his arms from yanking at the chains. His face was scratched and stained with bloody tears. His eyes glowed a dull yellow and his pupils were slits.

    He looked deranged and teetering into something forbidden and was so beautiful it hurt.

    “The quintessence of a Galra-human hybrid,” Keith’s fangs glinted in a bloody smile. “Doesn’t that just make your mouth water?”

     

    When Keith and Lance are captured by a creature that can drain any being of quintessence, both go to extreme lengths to save the other. This is a story of how you can come from feeling everything, only for it to be taken away.

    Summary

    "Truly hideous, those eyes," Om'e murmured, as if to themselves. "May Ahnos accept this offering."

    Distantly, Keith was aware that he was crying.

    And then he wasn't aware of anything at all.

    Summary

    Later, he’ll wonder why he even bothers to talk to the bat. It’s not as if it can understand him. But it’s comforting, he thinks, to hear someone assuring you that everything will be okay even when you’re moments away from death. Sometimes, hope is the only difference between holding on and letting go.

    And the bat? It holds on.

    After the ground opens up and Vecna disappears, the last thing that Steve Harrington needs is an injured bat on his doorstep. Apparently, that won't stop him from doing everything in his power to keep it alive. And if the bat reminds him of a certain someone, then that's just his mind playing tricks on him... right?

    Summary

    The Wastes are all Keith has ever known.

    For nineteen years, the arid desert is all he's seen of the world; his only reprieve from monotonous existence being his father's fantastical tales of heroic deeds and perilous battles among the stars. He can't help but feel drawn to those stars—their beckoning voices a constant tickle in the back of his mind. He dreams of following their call to adventure, but as the years pass, dreams dwindle and concede to obligation. What were once fantasies of purpose and fulfillment wither away entirely, and Keith has officially resined himself to a life of empty nothingness.

    Until one day, fate literally comes crashing into Keith's life, and he is swept up into an epic tale of his own.
