"Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam,
and admit that the waters around you have grown,
If your time, to you, is worth savin',
then you better start swimmin', or you'll sink like a stone,
and admit that the waters around you have grown,
and accept it, that soon you'll be drenched to the bone...
then you better start swimmin', or you'll sink like a stone,
In October of 2022, Shigeo Kageyama has everything he could ever want. Now as old as his Master once was, he’s eternally grateful to still be in close contact with those from his youth — in fact, by the standards of adult friendships, they’re all doing remarkably well. Spirits and Such is, comically, somehow still in business, despite Reigen’s promises to retire someday, he and Ritsu are still attached at the hip well into college, and he even runs with the old Body Improvement Club on the weekends, and makes efforts to follow Touichirou’s rehabilitation in prison.
…until the one thing he’s feared since he was 14 happens.

i figured it was only appropriate for my first fic to post to these forums to be my bestie fig ekurei5ever and i's post-canon horror au, the times they are a changin' - wherein, 10 years postcanon, tragedy strikes spirits and such's idyllic found family, and everything slowly, painfully, falls apart.
this fic is one fig and i spent seven months working on - it's split into two acts, 96k words in total, scattered with multimedia elements provided by fig, and written by the two of us. it's our proudest and most ambitious work, and it would mean the world to us both if people checked it out
it does contain, though, and i dont say this lightly, some very heavy themes: most notably of grief, trauma, brain damage, ableist abuse, medical horror, and lots of gore. it's a very long and heavy read, and one a lot of people have had to put down partway through. but - those who haven't have liked it lots. so if you have a weekend to kill and want to spend it miserable, do give it a chance :]] i cannot express enough how much of our hearts fig and i put into this story.
figuratively and literally. it's very bloody.
(if you saw me post this to the wrong thread shhh no you didnt.)
