    Summary

    Al turned the novel's cover over, slowly, carefully, forcing its illustrated detective and his aghast paramour to stare at a discarded duffel bag on the ground. As suspected, a simple claim of ownership—written in clear, blocky letters—appeared on the first page.

    PROPERTY OF FINNEY BLAKE.

    Finney Blake. A special name for a special boy. A special boy who loved books as much as Al did.

    Or, a series of interconnected fics for Blakeshaw Week 2026, in which Al and Finney develop a codependent bond over a mutual love of literature.

    Summary

    “Hello?”

    Static. Nothing. Then—

    A breath. “Finney.”

    For a moment, everything went silent. He wondered if he was dreaming, but the cold air felt too sharp against his skin. The world came back in a rush, sparks of fear tingling down his spine. This was real. That voice that haunted his every moment was real. Finney didn’t hang up the phone—he dropped it.

    (A year after Finney killed the Grabber, he started to hear phones ringing again. A year later, he finally answered.)

    Summary

    Al looked around the cafeteria behind his sunglasses, eyes eventually falling onto Finney, seeing the boy staring at him with what seemed to be nothing but pure admiration. Of course he had seen people look at him this way before, but something about this boy seemed... different. He didn't know why but he immediately had an idea for a new book. But first, he'd have to focus on this Meet and Greet and the book signing afterwards.

    Summary

    In 1978 five bodies were found buried in an abandoned basement alongside an empty grave that would never receive the last of six boys taken by a man known as The Grabber.
    In 1980 one boy would claw his way to the surface in that very same basement and would be given a chance to live life once more. With a few changes needed first of course.

    Or—

    An Ernesto Arellano is really Robin Arellano story, prior to The Black Phone 2 and then following through the movie.

    Summary

    He's in a dark room, his dad is yelling at him. His head is fuzzy

    “Dad, I'm sorry, I just-” His dad laughed, then went quiet. He braces for impact "Dad? That's a first. I'm not your dad.” he crutches down “I don't blame you though Not like you can see shit.”

    "Who are you?"

    He tilts his head "Guess."

    "You're the Grabber,"

    ***

    Or what if the Grabber was a vampire, and also decided he was Finney's dad?
