ghastly desire | tcm au (thomas/oc)

tl:dr, Thomas succeeds in killing Eddie during their first encounter.

Fuller, 1970. Eddie Amar Reid stumbles into a forgotten Texas town, crashes his car, and winds up in the basement of Thomas Brown Hewitt—he dies in that room, alone and cold and shrouded in darkness. Thomas strangles him to death just before Hoyt calls his name and reveals Eddie’s identity as the Rockstar Killer. It’s business as usual that night. Eddie’s body is hung up from the ceiling, drained of its blood, stripped of its skin. Thomas, forever envious, begins creating a mask using Eddie’s face. The man’s name escapes him soon enough, and although he was beautiful (and although he dared to tempt him), Thomas moves on. 

Until his bedroom light begins to flicker. The floorboards creak, steps pitter-patter against the wood—but when Thomas goes to look, there’s no one there. Initially, he chalks it up to the house’s age. It was built in the 19th century, of course it’d make noise. It was settling, that’s all. Thomas didn’t believe in spirits or the supernatural. He could believe in demons, but why would one come to torment a man who had committed the crimes Thomas had? They’d have no hold on him, as he’d already damned himself to Hell.

Thomas’ disbelief would not stop these strange occurrences. Framed photographs, ones that had been hanging on the farmhouse’s walls for years, would fall and shatter on impact. The basement would become cooler than usual, and Eddie’s mask would remain cold to the touch. Thomas would awaken to the sound of slamming doors and shiver from the wind brought in by windows he knew he’d closed. This would continue over the course of several months, and Thomas would try his best to ignore it.

One night, Thomas wakes to a great weight on his chest, heavier than any human he’d ever carried. Not one, not two, but the combined weight of three full-grown men. He opens his eyes and finds his arms pinned to his chest, held down by the hands of the man he killed back in June. It can’t be real, he thinks as he believes himself to be dreaming, or hallucinating, or in the depths of a nightmare. He’s forgotten the man’s name so easily, but here he is, sitting atop his abdomen. His neck’s horribly bruised, just as Thomas had left him. The blood on his upper lip has long dried, and all the light left in his eyes has disappeared. He’s still smiling, though, almost unnaturally. Thomas is rendered weak, powerless, and unable to push the man off of him.

“You don’t remember me?” The man says in what sounds like disbelief, his mouth remaining shut and his voice echoing in Thomas’ head. “I spent all this time tryna get your attention, and you don’t remember me?”

It all comes back to Thomas suddenly: Eddie. The Rockstar Killer. The threat he’d snuffed out.

Was he angry, coming back to take out his revenge? Thomas would deserve it, given all the souls he’d taken. If anything, he deserved worse.

Thomas believes he’s being dragged down to Hell until Eddie’s form shifts. His wounds disappear and the light in his eyes returns. Color is brought back to his face and the weight on Thomas’ chest lightens considerably. “You do remember me. Good. Good.” 

Eddie disappears after that, but something inside Thomas tells him that wouldn’t be their last encounter. 

From that point on, Eddie takes pleasure in personally haunting Thomas—not out of a sense of revenge or hatred, but rather because he is deeply and unbearably in love with him. Similar to canon, Eddie admires Thomas for being the only person to not only make him fear for his life but actually end it. He makes it his post-life’s mission to follow and protect him, hoping to win his heart in return. Thomas initially sees Eddie as a mere annoyance at best and a demon at worst, but slowly grows to enjoy his presence. Neither of them really understand why Eddie’s spirit remained on Earth (and why the souls of their many victims hadn’t), but they learn that it doesn’t really matter. Eddie, as a ghost, can choose who can and cannot see him (which means that most of the time, Thomas is the only person aware of his presence). He can also conjure up a “physical” form, able to touch, feel, and be felt, but this takes a considerable amount of energy and can only be held for a little over three hours at a time, and it takes a couple days for him to fully “recharge”. His abilities are pretty run-of-the-mill, allowing him to have a physical effect on various non-human objects (shattering windows, knocking things over, slamming doors, etc.) in his regular ghost form. He can also take control of a human’s body, but this will only last up to an hour and requires far more energy than becoming tangible. When enraged, Eddie becomes more akin to a poltergeist and can terrorize to the mortals around him, diving into their minds and tormenting them with their greatest fears.

sissy and eddie would like each other though. idk why i just say so. but not at first because manson didn’t fuck with black people and sissy would have to. unlearn that!

semi-related but i think eddie has the charisma needed to be a cult leader but he finds the idea so boring. he wants people to love him for him, not because he brainwashed them to. it’s all fake to him

i need to get more into the tcsm game because i think eddie and johnny and sissy would have fun interactions but also i don’t know enough about them to say for sure and i don’t want to look like a Fool ……

i headcanon that the hewitts and sawyers are related, so i think sissy would’ve visited the hewitts sometimes when she ran away from home. i like to think she went to fuller after leaving the manson family, being too fucked up to go straight home. again i don’t know too much so bleh

the similarities between eddie and johnny are so funny to me i do NOT think they’d like each other though

you're going to leave me.

[demphen]

sometimes the best writing advice is "just let it be bad." revolutionary. terrifying. but it works.

[demphen]

“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

[demphen]

lovely character. i want to watch him drown in his shame

[demphen]

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

[demphen]

YOU'RE ONLY A YEAR OLDER THAN ME... wait you're so cool i thought you were like. older. like how a six year old thinks a twelve year old is the height of coolness and maturity

WHAT REALLY ??? thank you that’s so silly. i always feel so young and immature when i talk to my older mutuals on here, and i’ve gotten into the habit of assuming i’m one of the youngest in the Room (tumblr. the room is tcm tumblr)

but yes i am eighteen! turning nineteen this june :]
