    Summary

    Emma Perkins is still alive.

    That should not have been as terrifying as it was.

    Now she has to survive as one of the few humans still left in a Post-Apotheosis world.

    The life she once loved and hated was over.

    Or is it?

    What the hell is a 'Lord in Black'?

    Summary

    To be loved by a being beyond human isn't as grand as it seems. To be held in an embrace you cannot escape from, to be kissed with lips you cannot resist. Invisible chains bind Paul so, a grandiose cage of silver keeping the self within like a little bird. Where would he go? Where CAN he go? Not a soul breathes in the way they should, and certainly no person who yearns to see him dead exists. Even if he had no control over the acts The Singular Voice directs him to perform. Pleading, crying, begging… they all fall on the deaf ears of the god that can hear all sounds, but only so desires the sound of his own voice. What can do any good on a “man” like Pokotho himself? Could one possibly call him a man?

    Because, despite the proclamation of his drive, his reasons for the Apotheosis… the blue god conceals a burning love for Paul.

    And he just had to be Uncompromising.

    Summary

    Silly little alternate version of post-TGWDLM. Paul is Pokey's prophet, PEIP is keeping him in a closet, and he may or may not be trying to end the world.

    Summary

    What if Jeremy went to visit his aunt in Hatchetfield, and returned home the morning of the invasion?

    What if he'd drank an infected cup of coffee before he left?

    With the hivemind taking a more subtle approach to living amongst people, at the very least until they an infect more people, will the others pick up on it soon enough?

    Or will they join him and die?

    Summary

    After the Apotheosis takes over Hatchetfield, a cure is quickly created and administered. Emma is lucky that Paul was able to recover before she could be infected. Now the two are living together in Colorado, a happy couple. But the Apotheosis is still there, lingering. Anybody who was previously infected doesn't get typical colds, but reinfected by the singing virus. When Paul falls ill, he's conflicted. Part of him wants to hide it from Emma so she doesn't get suspicious and he can infect her quietly. Part of him wants to warn Emma with just one note so she runs and hides. What will he do, and how will Emma respond?

    𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵.
    The look in his eyes when Paul had sung that. She could remember it now. Desperate. Pleading. Almost enough to believe him.
    It didn't matter if the chances were slim. Any chance was enough.
    Emma had to get back to Hatchetfield.
    OR

    What if Paul was trying to communicate with Emma during "Inevitable"?

    Summary

    “How much longer do you think we’ll be staying here?”

    Paul blinked. “Not long,” he drew the answer from the Hive without missing a beat. “We’re almost done here. The rest of Michigan next. Some great view along the way... Definitely an improvement from--whatever this is.” He made a quick gesture encompassing the store, the street outside, and everything beyond.

    Emma laughed, shaking her head in a way that told him she was about to tease him. “Gosh, if you hate this place so much, why did you stay hidden for two entire weeks here? Just to, what, make the surprise extra surprising for me? Should I be touched?”

    Paul knew this was coming. He was never gonna live this down, even if he wasn’t technically... living, anymore. Emma was never one to be stopped by technicalities anyway.

    Summary

    “Are you ready?” Paul-not-Paul said. His tone was uncomfortably lovestruck, excited and happy. Like Emma herself could do no wrong, like there was something he’d been longing for for ages about to happen. Emma shivered at that.

    “Ready for what?” Emma said, confused and terrified all at once. Seriously, how much longer would it take for not Paul to kill her?

    “…our date,” the thing said, his tone horribly confused. “You’re the one who suggested it!” He tilted his head, and twisted his voice to sound disappointed. Like he had any emotional investment in what was happening, like he hadn’t stolen all of it from a dead man. Emma felt a shock of pain unrelated to her leg jolt through her at the reminder. “I even took us to the movies, just like you asked!”

    OR

    “Paul” and Emma get to go on that movie date! Nothing is wrong here at all!

    Summary

    This was Paul, and sure, they hadn’t known one another long, but she found so much respite in seeing someone else who she knew, without fail, would never succumb to a tune—no matter how infectious.

    -------------

    Hatchetfield might be fucked, but Emma's going to find a way out.
