Late to the Party by AliC

Chapter 55

Jake stood at the balcony, watching the dark clouds at the distant horizon. They did not look good. He doubted they would be his problem, though. Callous, evil sadists the showrunners might have been, but they’d kept the island’s weather perfectly manicured so far. Still, he w...

As It Was by AliC

Chapter 58

As it Was He met her at their favorite dive bar. It was the sort of place where you could order beer and shots at a discount, but where you’d get laughed out of the establishment for ordering anything more complicated than a rum and coke. The wooden floors were sticky, the opti...

Nur Geträumt/Just a Dream by AliC

Chapter 59

An odd sensation. He was coming to, but _wrong_ somehow. He was in a plush waiting room, with long, comfortable leather benches that wound around a carpeted hallway, a pair of double doors at its end. He wore one of his nicest pairs of dress slacks, a pair of shoes that cost as...
