Oh no, but I have read that one and I highly recommend it to everyone. The author's incredibly funny and talented, and the read itself is great.

The off the wall fic is one of mine and it's currently unpublished. I call it, affectionately, the Himbois AU. the premise is that Jon walks into Agnes Montague's cafe one day, and it domino effects him into being on the run from the Web with Gerry Keay and an amnesiac Danny Stoker, who have plenty of their own things to run from. Out of sheer lack of other options, they decide to start a ghost hunting youtube channel, because they sort of look like drug dealers what with the everything and need a way to explain why the keep fucking around in the most haunted fucking places ever.

Except they're physically incapable of acting like static in an empty house is serious paranormal activity when they're actively being stalked by the spider that ate jon's childhood bully, so it turns into a Buzzfeed Unsolved AU from there. Jon and Gerry (with Danny as camera man) go viral as ghost hunting skeptics and they are fucking sweating.

what do you mean they’re the reason you started posting fanfic again

#god i love the himbois au so much #believe it or not its not a crack fic #its plot is just as convoluted as nhthcth #but its so fun #jon and gerry call the show ghost hunt out of absolute lack of interest in putting effort into this #people keep confusing ghost hunt uk with them and melanie king is frothing at the mouth at their existence #to be clear they're the wildest fucking duo ever and the internet is obsessed with them #jon looks like a feral accountant but because of Plot Reasons he has handprints physically seared into multiple parts of his body that #he refuses to explain #he had this one attempted murder of him in his past that made him somewhat notorious in the true crime circuit #then he fucking disappeared and when he reappeared he refused to discuss why he disappeared or say anything about that one time someone #tried to kill him with fire. meanwhile his costar is this random goth man who has eyes tattooed all over his body.#they have an increasingly desperate cadre of people who they saved who know that no one will ever believe that the fucking YouTubers were #monster hunters all along. they're repeat figures in statements and it's just #Gertrude: 'the' (derogatory) '/Youtubers/'#No one was ever supposed to watch those videos and they went viral when they were busy trying to save teh world and didn't realize that #their videos were blowing up. by then it was too late they just had to lean into it or it would be too suspicious. jons everything was bad #enough as it is. so they decide fuck it they're internet funnymen now and just play up so hard the skeptic schtick to try and get people to #forget that jon's semi famous for being the victim of a violent and unusual murder attempt and then was declared legally missing which he #refused to explain to any and all people who asked. it's just jon and gerry in abandoned buildings going like 'hey ghost FUCK YOU' while #danny laughs behind the camera. danny's not allowed on camera because clowns wants his skin and theyre not so good with names but they #recognize their fucking handiwork when they see it. that being said gerry and jon refuse to let him be silent behind the camera they always #are drawing him into their nonsense. its just. it's such a fun story. everyones so ridiculous. i'd love to write it one day but I'd have to #finish nhthcth first because i CANT juggle two plots of those lengths and the same time #my beloved moon wife knows The Stories That Are Never Published because i'll text her the full plot in great detail #we used to call them my story times and we'd schedule them for special events #i have this one ludicrously long TAZ story time that only she knows that took literal days to text to her
