Chapter 1: Black Iris | Know Nothing of Peace
Chapter Text
Everything was blurry, horribly so. But even Curly still knew where Jimmy was taking him.
He’d endured Jim's crazed mutterings about the cryostasis pod for too long—what felt like hours of endless, useless, rambling that seemed to make only sense to Jimmy himself.
Each metallic step echoed down the stairs, drawing him ever closer to his fate. Why did Jimmy have to walk so damn slowly?
Curly wasn’t sure if Jimmy even understood what he was saying himself anymore, or if he wanted Curly to understand what was about to happen at all.
But it didn’t matter. It had never mattered.
Curly had no choice. And no control. Just like he hadn’t this whole time.
As Jimmy slowly lowered him into the pod, Curly could feel the bone-chilling graze of the steel on his bare, mangled hand-less arms.
The machine wasn’t even on yet, and it was already freezing him, its icy cage-like body biting into his skinless, defenceless limbs.
A weak groan escaped his lipless mouth as his head was forced to rest against the inside.
He hated this—the feeling of his burned, raw flesh pressing into the cold metal.
It made his ravaged body ache and shiver all over again.
What was left of his legs- …leg throbbed, a raw and unending pain. He whimpered, his arms jerking away from the blisteringly cold sides of the pod on their own, without his input.
He didn’t want this.
He doubted he could survive another day like this—let alone twenty years in cryo. Even if he did, no one would ever come to rescue him. He’d either starve or rot from the inside due to all those nasty infections before anyone even thought to look for him.
Luckily neither option would take very long.
His stomach, still sore from Jimmy’s last outburst, twisted painfully as he just barely fought to keep breathing.
His head felt like it was drifting in and out, but despite this he could still just barely make out Jimmy closing the pod door over him.
More than anything, he wanted to leap out of this godforsaken machine, device, whatever and tear Jimmy apart limb from limb with whatever strength he had left.
But he couldn’t. Physically and probably mentally as well.
So instead, he glared at Jimmy, knowing full well it wouldn’t make any difference, wouldn't change anything.
The door clicked shut, and Curly’s gaze drifted up to the low ceiling inside the pod.
He stared up, and presumably out of the pod. Just waiting for the inevitable freezing.
As he waited, a deafening gunshot rang out from somewhere beyond the pod’s walls.
‘I’m sure you’ll still die as the hero in the end, prick.’
And then, slowly, the cold fog began to seep in from the edges, creeping toward him like a final, merciless wave.
The freezing mist pricked at his skin, cutting through him. He felt himself slipping into its grip, his weak, beaten body succumbing to the biting chill.
Fuck.
Fuck you Jimmy.
It had been twenty years now, and Curly was still freezing.
Wait why was he freezing-
Chapter 2: I'm sorry :(
Chapter Text
I genuinely hate getting peoples hopes up, but I'm probably not gonna finish this 😭
I know I've only done one, crappy introduction chapter, but I genuinely don't think I'm ever gonna be able to continue this, let alone finish it. Everytime I try to write the actual first chapter I keep getting distracted by other stories, sometime in the future I might continue writing this again, but currently.... yeah...
I'm happy if anyone wants to use this idea or 'adopt' this fic, just credit me, cuz I'd like to see if you can do what I could not.
I would like to mention one last thing tho, I saw one person ask why Daisuke and Anya would get sent to hell, and at the time I didn't reply to them, mainly because I didn't want to spoil anything and I wanted to be mysterious or whatever, but also because I thought my reasoning was stupid, but, since I'm probably not continuing this, here we go:
The main reason that those two, and the partial reason that Swansea, and Curly got sent to hell, was because.....
I wanted to show that the requirements to get into heaven were unfair.
Yup, that's it....
It was gonna be some really victim blamey stuff for both of them, like:
'Oh, you died because you went into a vent trying to save someone? Well maybe that's your fault, also you got drunk a few times, so go to hell."
'Oh, you committed suicide to avoid birthing a child created by rape , onto a crashed spaceship and to avoid the rapist? Well, maybe you just should've birthed that child. Yeah, how about that, and you also considered getting drunk once, so go to hell'
So yeahhh, it was gonna be very unfair, it was on purpose though!!
Anyway, sorry about not continuing this... but uhh yeah... sorry.
