Summary:

It was supposed to be a routine investigation of the haunted roller rink on the edge of town.

Except that Dash and Marshall are breaking up (not that they were ever really together), Melanie Monroe's date might be undead, there's a new threat only Simon can see, and nothing in the years they've spent battling the forces of weirdness will have prepared those who survive the night to come face-to-face with the very worst one of all.

Sequel to "Selected Scenes from Eerie after Nightfall."

HAHAHA perfect timing, just nipped home for lunch long enough to download this before heading back :D

[deifire]

Yay! I was saying last night I needed to time it so that you saw it at a good time and not right before leaving for work in the morning. :D

PS: Can I get an "ongoing verse" tag for After Nightfall? And another one for Ten Year Later as long as I'm thinking about it?

[evilinsanemonkey]

i got yer tags ♥

[froodle]

Thanks :D

[evilinsanemonkey]

i can't be fail mod ALL the time

[froodle]

I was just looking at how out of date the masterlists are and Being like "man I should work on that"... *fails to do so*

[deifire]

Thanks so much!

I should have specified: I want to use TYL for tagging older fic entries since that one's a slightly different timeline than After Nightfall is. (Not all the same characters may survive...)

[evilinsanemonkey]

well the tag exists now!

*scuffs foot on floor*
*hides*

[froodle]

Our system crashed again and I was like, ahhh, *leans back in chair, sips tea, props up kindle*... And then it came back on again right after the screaming duck. I almost screamed as loudly.

[deifire]

Ack! The one time you don't want it to do that...

[froodle]

Probably for the best, having now read to the end, I might have spent the afternoon staring into the middle distance and whimpering "no... no..."

[deifire]

I'm so, so sorry...

There's a part of me that's still yelling, "No! You can't end the chapter that way!"

(I will send spoilers via pm if requested.)

[froodle]

I will resist, FOR NOW, but it's good to know I have the option in case the sadness ever spreads to my lungs.

[froodle]

...simon... ;__;

[deifire]

I know. I am a terrible, terrible human being

*hangs head*

[froodle]

But... but Simon tho...

[froodle]

(Also, lost in the moment of the final scene, but I love the Andrea Fantucci reference)

[deifire]

Yeah, Andrea Fantucci was not impressed by Dash in this 'verse. (Though she did eventually get the car back.)

She mostly doesn't hang out with them right now because college, but even when she is in town, probably avoids any event when he has a high probability of being there.

[froodle]

Smart lady.

[deifire]

Me, the fan: "Don't like Dash? FIGHT ME!"

Me, the writer: "Almost all the characters in this fic so far, even the ones who just get a mention, have perfectly cromulent reasons for disliking Dash..."

[froodle]

"Oh, you don't like Dash? HOPE YOU LIKE BEING WRONG LOSER."

So you'd hang out with him in real life?

"Oh God no, what a nightmare."
