#funeralverse

Tango is telling Jim to steal Scar's lighter. For... safety reasons. Yep, definitely safety reasons.

Silly little doodle of the Ranchers from I felt a Funeral, in my Brain by @baronetcoins which is I think my all time favourite Ranchers fic.

Tagged by @chiropteracupola to share what I've been working on recently, so I'm taking this as an opportunity to say for real that i'm picking the funeralverse back up by rebooting blood and backward glances. I'm trying to write this installment all the way to the end before posting it so I don't write myself into corners, so it'll be a sec before it's out, but. It's chugging along. Have a sneak peak.

“Well, shit,” Scar said after a beat. Jimmy swallowed, palms suddenly sweaty. A woman had died, with them just at the end of the driveway. They were supposed to be able to prevent this. That’s what they did. “We need a plan. A proper plan.” Grian pulled out his notebook, flipping it to a new page. “Whatever this is isn’t a regular ghost, but we don’t know what precisely it is—don’t start with me—and we don’t even know where it’s tied to. So those are the two questions: what, and where.” “Could be bigfoot,” Scar offered.   “It’s not—Scar! Why would it be bigfoot? For so many reasons, including ‘when is the last time you heard a bigfoot story that involved it drinking blood?’”  “Also, there’s still the summoning circle.” Jimmy interrupted. Grian flicked a glance over to him.  “Tim’s right. We should start with that. Do you think you could find it again, Scar?”  “Oh, probably.” Scar waved a hand breezily.  “Then we eat, and hit the road. Start at the circle, and sweep outwards. Pack to be out all evening. We’re going to find this damn thing and send it back where it came from.” Grian stood, slamming the laptop shut. Jimmy flashed a glance at Scar, who seemed remarkably unperturbed, and went to go brush his teeth.

“That’s not normal. That’s really not normal.” Jimmy shuddered. “Look.” Scar set his hands on his hips. “I know you aren’t going to want to hear this. But we’ve got a series of unexplained deaths with corpses entirely drained of blood.” Grian fixed him with a glare that could have leveled a city block. “Scar, I don’t want to hear about another one of your crazy flights of fantasy.” “All I’m saying—” He raised his hands in mock surrender. “All I’m saying, is that what you’re describing to me sure sounds a whole lot like a vampire.”

What is Funeralverse?

It's a story about past lives and childhood games gone wrong, the unquiet past and refusing to give up on the people you love. Mostly, though, it's about three ghost hunters (Grian, Scar, and Jimmy), a tag-along ghost (Tango), and the beat-up van they call home as they travel across America.

This AU is written as I feel like it (as all things I write are), but I do have a bit of an overall plot and endgame in mind. Feel free to send me asks or what have you—they, along with everything else pertaining to this au, are tagged funeralverse.

As with anything else I write or make, you have blanket permission to do stuff inspired by this as long as you show it to me when it's done-feel free to tag me in whatever. This post will be updated with any writing or art as they come to exist.

Also, as with almost everything else I write, this was beta-d by the AMAZING M/Bamboo. (@/ranababamboo). He's my brainstorming buddy and the only person to ever successfully make me use semicolons. Give them some love.

I want love, just a different kind pride month one-shot (CW: very abstract discussion of sex, implied period-typical homophobia, internalized acephobia (it gets better))
