    Summary

    “Don’t you gotta go get your girl? What’s sleeping in your car gonna help?”

    Buck opens an eye, shifts the gun to a more accessible position, and lets go.

    The dead boy from the road—Johnnie, he thinks—looks distinctly dead under the light of the moon. He’s lost all the scars and literal evidence of getting taken out, but his eyes glow with a strange yellow sheen and his skin still looks those few minutes into gradual decomposition. Buck really thought that nothing could really rattle him anymore, but something about how quiet the kid’s footsteps were when he readjusted his stance, how long the moments between his blinks, like he had to remind himself…

    “I know all you’ve seen me do is die and get back up but it seems like you’re in deep trouble and I don’t wanna pull myself back up to the land of the living again today trying to help you. You ain’t so unkind that you wouldn’t let me in, are you?”

     

    ...

     

    Or: After Buck gets black brained, Johnnie gives Buck a ride and learns a bit more about his situation.

    Summary

    This is a nonfiction analysis of the World Enders within the Lord Huron lore and the real-world history and cultural context within which they can be placed. This was written mostly because I learned a ton myself in doing this research for my own writing and fleshing out the world, and wanted to share it with people who might be interested in the topic. I have done all of this research to better inform myself when writing characters within a cultural context I previously was not very familiar with, and along the way I learned of a whole lot of US history that I had never been taught before, and probably would not have been taught it ever if I hadn't sought it out myself.

    I say it later and I will say it again here: The World Enders are a fictional gang, and the fact that within the narrative they serve as folk heroes to empower and uplift their own people does not mean I am here to glorify real-world gangs or gang violence and the tragedies they inflict on people.

    Summary

    Lots of strange things out there in the world. Things that lurk in the darkness, visions of the Void beyond, monsters that wear human faces. It's hardly a rare thing to come across something that shouldn't exist.

     

    Not everyone who sees them comes back alive.

     

    Not everyone who sees them comes back as human.

    Summary

    Johnnie acquires his first ever dose of vide noir to test out on a pleasant evening in the park with a friend. The things he sees in that trip call to mind dreams he's been having for a long time - and offer a potential glimpse of a very dark future.

    But that's fine, it's one hell of a good time, after all! Everything dies anyway!

Johnnie's older brothers joined a gang recently, only a couple of years after the World Enders first made headlines for their role in the Winthrop Massacre. But at eleven years old, Johnnie idolizes Alex and Dale, because he knows they're the ones who will keep their family safe.

    Summary

    Written to be enjoyed by fans of either and neither source material. No prior knowledge is required ;)

    For Murderbot fans, this is a fun, canon-typical adventure exploring a corrupt corporation, strange synthetics, and the disappearance of ART.

    For Lord Huron fans, this is Vide Noir through the eyes of a robot (or at least, my extra sci-fi heavily products-of-the-universe inspired take on it)
