One of the reasons I'm tremendously behind on the TOD rewatch is because I've been working on my Small Fandom Big Bang, a fusion of Eerie, Indiana and Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co. And it's finally live and ready for reading! My artist made a fantastic podfic that I'm excited to listen to over and over and which will go live later today. Here's the fic itself though:

Trusted Associates Inc and the Haunted Heart (12760 words) by flashforeward
Chapters: 8/8
Fandom: Eerie Indiana, Lockwood & Co. - Jonathan Stroud
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Melanie Monroe/Devon Wilde, One-Sided Devon Wilde/Marshall Teller, Simon Holmes & Marshall Teller & Syndi Teller
Characters: Syndi Teller, Marshall Teller, Simon Holmes, Melanie Monroe, Devon Wilde, Marilyn Teller, Edgar Teller, Bartholomew Radford, Winston Chisel
Additional Tags: Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Ghosts, Investigations, Case Fic
Series: Part 1 of Trusted Associates Inc.
Summary:

Syndi Teller, Marshall Teller, and Simon Holmes are agents, trained to fight The Problem: the dead who walk the earth as ghostly visitors. They run their own small agency - Trusted Associates Inc - out of the Teller house in Eerie, Indiana - a town where the Problem has proven to be even stranger than it is elsewhere. Between the cases they take, Trusted Associates spends time researching the Problem and trying to understand its cause, as well as why it is so different in Eerie - in particular, why Syndi Teller, who should be too old to see the spirits they fight, has maintained her talent.

One day, a family comes to hire Trusted Associates because their daughter, Melanie Monroe, is being haunted by the boy who's heart saved her life. Marshall is excited to take this case, hoping it will lead to a better understanding of the Problem. What they find during their operation, however, is a very different haunting than any they've ever seen before. And then Melanie and her ghost, Devon Wilde, offer to take them to a place where they can find answers to all of their questions about the Problem and Eerie.

And, despite his sister's misgivings, Marshall knows it's too good a chance to pass up.

If you check out the full fic summary or the endnotes you might notice a major milestone for this fic: The Roller Rink on the Edge of Forever has lost its total chapter count question mark.

As for how soon we'll get to the end, I can say that the first draft of Chapter 44 has been completed and should be in beta by the end of the week or so.

The life and times of twins Marshall and Mitchell Teller after moving to Eerie, Indiana in 1992 told through the 12 days of promptmas challenge from the Eerie, Indiana Comm on dreamwidth
Hello! I have finally completed my Promptmas prompts and complied them into one fic over on A03. Enjoy! 

A bit of extra exegetical info that I have nowhere else to include: Eerie Prime occasionally dabbles in purposeful anachronisms, like Marshall watching black and white television with Simon, amongst it's very 1992 show. TOD basically goes entirely in the other direction, and Mitchell is often facing off against capitalism (lol) and machines of great power being misused. So, when I was developing their personalities, I decided to lean more into the technology stuff for Mitchell since he's a less well constructed character than Marshall who doesn't realllly need help in that department. I would even argue Mitchell is pretty good with technology within the show itself, since he's able to rewire the Time Machine in Time Flies, and effectively navigate the very early internet in I'm Okay, You're Really Weird. 

Okay that's it. I'm still not sure I'm done with Mitchell though, and I'm never done with Marshall. So, I guess we'll see where I go next. Also hope tags are correct ;>>

Hey Eerie-ites, it's Friday again! What is time?? Anyway. Fic recs!

Rec Recap )

A Reminder of How this Works:

If you are looking for a particular Thing (trope, setting, length, level of plot etc), make a comment describing what you're looking for and people can reply with stories that fit.

You can also just comment with recs of what you've been reading lately.

Be sure to include the rating any relevant warnings!

I know Eerie is not a large fandom (which I actually kind of love sometimes), so what are we revisiting? What Eerie-adjacent canons do you want to read fic for? What Eerie-esque canons are you interested in delving into the fandom for?

Play around, have fun :)

written for Sunday Prompt Challenge and the Arc Numbers Challenge. I have a few gifsets I want to make for Eerie this week. Something for TOD's birthday, and a new gifset for Mayor Chisel for Chooseday <3 I might do a round up post for all my recent eerie/tod gifs. I didn't write much for Eerie last year, and didnt make many gifs outside of October or really interact with any of you guys that much in terms of leaving reviews and comments so, this is my formal apology for that. Last year just sucked for me, I was doing a dissertation I hated but couldn't back out of, I was stressed, I lost a friendship over my not being able to provide the closeness they needed from me, I finally reached the point of no return with TDBM amongst other things. So, yeah. Last year sucked. BUT! I'm looking forward to 2022! and hopefully now I'm not writing something I hate every other day I can find some joy in writing again I'll be endeavouring to catch up on what I've missed, and doing a better job at keeping the discord active :-) It's so lovely to know that even if I'm away for a year than this place and you guys, my friends, will still be here when I get back. <3 <3 <3

Marshall Teller accepted the damp washcloth with ill humour and a distinct lack of gratitude, and used it to clean the worst of the blood from his face and hands.

"What," he said, spitting the words out alongside a decent amount of gore, none of which was his own, "Was that?"

The Mayor looked at him, considering.

"Comforting lie?" he asked, "Or ugly truth?"

"Truth," said Marshall.

"I don't know."

Marshall winced.

"Comforting lie, then."

"A creature entirely under the control of the City Council, which everyone knows about and that you'll never be able to prove exists."

Marshall scowled.

"How would that have been comforting?"

The Mayor shrugged.

"I was working on the assumption that that's a familiar scenario for you," he said. "Less than ideal, possibly a little frustrating, but something you're used to."

Marshall didn't respond right away, mostly because the response he wanted to give would have been considered vulgar in all polite societies, and even a few of the impolite ones would have raised an eyebrow at the language he had in mind.

Then the import of the Mayor's words hit home, and politeness went out the window.

"Fuck," he said.

The Mayor nodded sagely.

At 3:33 a.m. on a wet Wednesday morning in June, every church bell in Eerie began to chime.

In the Eerie Cemetery, stiff-necked corpses rolled over in their coffins, moaning in protest and pressing skeletal hands over shrivelled ears while beneath Lake Eerie, things with tentacles and gills and other, less-easily described attributes clutched tight to crucifixes made from driftwood and barnacles. Janet Donner pulled her coverlet over her head, ears straining for the tell-tale clink of milk bottles, and Melanie Monroe awoke shrieking out a scream that only she could hear.

The halogen lights clicked and buzzed overhead, casting a sickly yellow illumination that blinked on and off in a manner that seemed random at first, but which, Marshall was pretty sure, was actually designed to let all manner of creepy junk from the Things Incorporated's sub-sub-basement sneak up and perform jump scares on him.

The lights came back up and he screamed as a filing cabinet that hadn't been there a moment ago loomed over him, all dull grey metal and temptingly half-open drawers.

"Marshall," said one of the Micheals - the tall one - wearily. "Can you please cut that out?"

The man from the Eerie Dairy stared into the chocolate-brown eyes of the calf that stood unsteadily on the other side of the fence. A little way off, Cloud Sheep bobbed uneasily on tethers of glittering twine that was all that kept them anchored to the earth.

"He belongs to us," he said. "The Dairy has dominion over all milk-related products, and that includes mysteriously glowing green cows made from mint ice-cream."

"Does it," said Farmer Ephraim Chambers, his tone studiedly neutral. "Got a precedent for this, have you?"

Simon smelled them before he saw them, the heavy, cloying scents of cotton candy and fried onion that couldn't quite mask the underlying must and mildew that came from soft things stored too long in damp places.

"Dang it, Harley," he said, pushing back the heap of mismatched coverlets that couldn't quite keep out the chill of the unheated house. "I said no."

"You said no guns," said Harley, not turning from his place at the window. Firelight danced in his eyes as, miles away, the carnival burned. On the lawn below them, stuffed animals looked up, hopeful and smiling.

Glassy eyes stared balefully out from beneath a matted tangle of staticky fur. Half-stuffed limbs hung limp about deflated bellies, and silver bells grew black with tarnish at the end of threadbare ribbons bleached of colour. Harley Holmes stood on the other side of the splintery wooden concession stand, a roll of slightly blood-splattered tickets clutched in one hand and a bb gun in the other.

"No," said Simon. "No guns."

Harley pointed at the shelves of mouldering stuffed animals, prizes for those carnival-goers accomplished in the art of mowing down rows of tin ducks.

"I want one," he said.

Far overhead, lost in the cavernous spaces of the Bureau's high and dusty ceilings, electric lights flickered. They brightened, blinked, dimmed to nearly nothing, then burst into almost incandescent radiance before expiring with a muffled pop and, somewhere too close for comfort, the tinkling sound of falling glass.

Lodgepoole sat in the newly-dark office, listening to the diminuendo scream of something complex and mechanical slowly winding down in the shadows above him. No doubt there was a circuit breaker somewhere in these winding corridors, but as with so many things down here, it's exact location had been lost long ago.

The towels were thick and fluffy and still warm from the dryer. Marilyn set the laundry basket down on the coffee table, knocking a pile of partially-dissected circulars to the floor in the process, then set herself down on the sofa in front of it.

The early-morning light streamed into the Teller's living room, picking out the edges of things in gleaming and gold, the details hazy in the diffusion caused by filmy net curtains that billowed in the breeze coming from the open window.

The air smelled of spring and fabric softener, and upstairs all was quiet.

She smiled.

The fog hung in the air like unravelling skeins of cotton wool, an almost-solid thing too heavy to be stirred by the chill November breeze that rattled bare branches overhead and threatened loose roof tiles as it passed.

Marshall Teller pulled out his torch, more out of a sense of obligation than from any real belief that it would help. The light was a warm gold, and the beam made shining yellow circles against the roiling mass of white that pressed in all around him.

He clicked it off again, stowed it away.

"Okay," he said. "Fine. And now what?"

Marilyn Teller grasped the little cardboard tab between thumb and forefinger, used her free hand to hold the box steady against the cluttered kitchen countertop, and pulled.

Her children, four and seven and already exhibiting the kind of smarts that had her stuck in a perpetual motion machine that swung from pride to exasperation and back again, appeared in the kitchen doorway.

"Your nana's cat knew that trick," she told them, turning. "Open the icebox, pick up a can opener, there she was, begging for treats."

She held out two full-size Icky-Sticky bars.

"Here," she said. "Before the trick-or-treaters arrive."

She was Miss Tornado Day, Syndi reminded herself, Maiden of the Twisting Winds, Queen of Whimsical Destruction, an actual, bona fide God of Specific Violent Weather Events. And therefore, she was not going to squeal in shock and discomfort just because the driving rain had turned into an icy air-borne slush that had just hurled itself with malevolent joy and malice aforethought down the back of her collar.

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth to stop the chattering, and concentrated on building a small pocket of warm air around her exposed face and hands.

God, she hated November.
