#aberrated au

[i-like-dredge-now]

I made another thing! Dredge ending spoilers, so watch out. Essentially just an au where the bad ending turns all humans into aberrations. That includes ya boy the Fisherman and the Collector (they’re conjoined by the shoulders and the leg). This is from the Fisherboys perspective. Warning for body horror and some guy snorting massive doses of copium.

Everything is fine…everything is fine…

Our hands are quaking. We can—I can barely hear myself think. It doesn’t hurt, but everything feels so wrong. All I have to do is try not to think about it. It’s like he isn’t even there…it’s like we’re still separate. Because we are! We have to be!

The air groans and whistles, carrying the thick smell of smoke and the sounds of faint screams. The sky burns red, the water mirroring its crimson intensity. The air is so hot, sweltering and thick, truly unbearable. We can’t survive for long. This is all our fault. I shouldn’t have listened to him. I should have never given him any ‘relics’. If he wanted relics he should have hired someone else!

Wait.

Are we in the Marrows?

It certainly looks similar. Despite the…growths and the generally red look the layout is fitting. And Greater Marrow, it’s in ruin. The lighthouse has taken the most of the damage, but the rest of the homes are still ablaze. Little Marrow is not much different.

However, Little Marrow is closer, and it is the first land that we would have set foot on in a while…should I wake him? I turn to his sleeping form, which I regret instantly. My eyes pull themselves down out of curiosity, inspecting our predicament against my will, yet I do not stop them.

His arm is joined into mine, our hands connected by the tendons. The side of his head is still scabbing, and mine is too. Our faces had been fused together, but it wasn’t pulling up any important veins, so I had cut us apart. It was painful and difficult, but it helps me feel like he’s not attached to me. His eyes…dammit, his eyes. He had pried them out at the sight of our—his dearest wife. Although she wasn’t much of any human anymore.

I tear my gaze away. I can’t be glossing over this disgusting mess. I’m going to fix it. I’m going to fix everything. Everything is fine.

I drag our bodies through the thick water before I pull us ashore. It’s what I expected, the houses in ruin and the bright red fires blazing endlessly. I turn, but a sign catches my eye…it’s a scrap of a hull, very similar to the hull of the travelling merchant’s boat. It reads “SAFE PLACE IN WOODS”.

I look up to the trees behind the village, burning quickly. Is it worth a shot? Well, anything’s worth it at this point…

Where was I? Nowhere! (Okay, I lied. I was busy being hyperfixated on the Magnus Archives ((the Vast forever)). I’m sorry, I’ll try to be more dredge but I can’t make any promises)

Mermay Special Prompt 3

“Are you kidding? No one goes to Gotham, that place is like,” Aquaman made a motion with his hand, a not-quite grimace on his face. “Like things should not be living in the water, like it should be impossible, and things should be dead, but they aren’t and it’s like, like the equivalent of an undead apocalypse over there!” 

Bruce rolled his eyes behind his cowl, taking a sip of his coffee as the others continued drinking. Socialize, they said, it’ll be fine they said. Well excuse him, but the waters weren’t that bad. Sure there were always dumped bodies, and chemicals from the rogue attacks, but it was far worse at one point.

One thing he’ll always be relieved for is how the… curse (thank you broken statuette back in the beginning of his vigilante career that fused with the other many curses of Gotham) made the people of Gotham actually care about the waters around them. 

Though also, he couldn’t help but thank anything that might be listening for the fact that the curse only interacted with Gotham waters, because losing legs with any risk of a drop of water would be downright annoying. 

“No dude, you don’t understand, no one goes there for a reason! That shit is horrific- someone saw a big thing with bits of rebar stabbed straight through it and still chased after a big alligator-thing!” Oh. Oh that had been him. Oops. Hopefully his kids didn’t find out about this, but they were probably already on the cameras. Dammnit.

Prompt 349

(So Dredge has new DLC, which means my Merfolk & Eldritch Ghosts has gained new inspiration) 

Now, if one were to ask what happened to Amity Park, many people would ask what you were even talking about. The city was rather out of sight, out of mind, to say the least- even without the government coverup. 

It was well known, to those that even knew of the town in the first place, that it was a ghost town, abandoned from sinkhole problems, roads diverted and fences put up to prevent people from entering. Of course, if one made it past that first fence, and then the overgrown wall, and then another electrified net, and through the invisible barrier not meant to keep them out but something else in, they’d know that wasn’t true. 

Oh sure, one could claim some sort of sinkhole, what with how the only building not half destroyed was some mimicry of a floating rig, standing strong in the dark waters that now covered everything else. But even a sinkhole should not go so deep, waters turning from pitch darkness to a heavy green… several hundred miles deeper than the deepest trenches. 

And the denizens of the water didn’t appreciate the rig protected by its tower, or the boats of white protected by buzzing barriers that tried to heave them from the waters for study. Yes, what happened to Amity Park was far more a mystery than it should be, unless you were one of those once-humans in the depths. 

But well, it wasn’t the GIW who would be asking them.
