    Summary

    Gertrude hadn't quite known what to expect when she sent Michael into the Distortion. Perhaps, she suspected that he would become the Distortion, that the Distortion would become him.

    In which case, she would only be half right.

    The Distortion became Michael, yet Michael never became the Distortion.

    Now, Michael Shelley is stuck, still working back at the archives, all too aware of his other self, causing fear and pain wherever it goes, a piece of himself that he may never get back.

    ----------
    This isn't completed but I decided I didn't like it much, so I'm rewriting it (or that was the plan, I've kind of ended up changing everything) so you should probably check my other story "One and the same" for that.

    Summary

    The jacket is brown, and thick, with fleece lining and cuffs. It reaches down to somewhere between the subjects’ waist and its knees.

    It is a winter coat, brand new when bought, the yearly indulgence of a working-class archival assistant a long time ago. Now, it is old, but still holding up well, rarely ever used except on truly Bad days. It looks almost wrong, now; prolonged exposure to an aspect of the fear of not knowing one’s own mind had warped it, but it’s still a brown winter coat, when you get right down to its core.

    Michael needs its coat, today.

    you can read this on its own, but it might make more sense if you read the previous work before!

    Summary

    Everyone is bound by a string tied around their finger, a link to their destined fate. The crimson bond. But Steven has a bit of a problem, rather than point into the distance or to the mountains, his points straight down.

    After being commissioned for an expedition to the nether, Steven and Alex decide to spend a little more time exploring the hellish realm. Oblivious to what awaited them, they dive headfirst into danger and bite off more than they could chew.
