Happy new year, y'all! The
popoffacork stories are live now and I absolutely love the one written for me. It's Maja/Greta and Gabe/William, two pairings I love, plus really great Pete-Patrick friendship, but all of that pales next to what else is going on, the most gorgeously subtle horror story infiltrating the everyday life of touring. I suggest reading this story two times at least - its layers and depths really reward re-reading.
Radiant Thank you, secret author!
I also would like to say many thanks to those who helped me with the story I wrote,
thissugarcane,
uhmidont, and
wearemany, to be acknowledged more fully in the proper place after the reveal. And of course to
jae_w for organizing the challenge in the first place. You are all made of awesome.
