Friday Fics Fix - Easter in Haven

(Warning: discussions of chronic illness and ableism)

'Audrey and Nathan dashed into the Grey Gull, each imagining terrible scenarios. None of their fears involved Duke with a spatula in hand, staring at the bar.'

One of my favouritest TV shows of all time is Haven.

If you haven't heard of it, then I'm not angry, just disappointed (not in you - in Society in general! 😅)

Haven was (extremely loosely) based on The Colorado Kid by Stephen King, with a whole bunch of other Stephen King elements chucked in for good luck.

Then they gave it some pretty actors, batsh** weird plots, and a sense of humour, and called it a series.

And it was totally awesome dammit!!!!!

And yes, I'm totally biased towards this show, because there's a 3-6 month period of my life from which all I can remember is the episode plots of Haven, Arrow, and Sleepy Hollow.

I sh** you not - pretty much all of the rest of that time period is a total f**king blur of flu-related gut convulsions, exhaustion, and then labyrinthitis.

(And yes, I would catch the f**king illness with the name like a David Bowie movie! It's a lot less fun. Believe me.)

This is Duke Crocker (played by Eric Balfour.) I told you there were pretty people 😅😍

Slightly brooding/gothic TV shows were apparently the only thing my brain was processing.

...That and a lot of pain, and the stress of dropping out of uni with everyone looking at me like I totally failed and was faking it; including the doctor, who would only believe me when I practically screamed at her. 

Being ill is not fun, and anyone who has had prolonged periods of illness is my total f**king hero, cos aside from the actual illness, which is bad enough, people treat you like sh**.

But let's move away from the dark direction this post has meandered into, and back to the fanfiction! 😅

This is Easter-themed fanfiction which is actually CLEAN!

(Every time I search for holiday-themed fanfiction, I remember why this was a bad plan... save your innocence kids! Let me trawl through the trash of the internet for you instead! 😅)

So in Haven, everything turns out to have a spooky and/or gothic edge.

Called The Troubles (def. NOT related to the Northern Ireland Troubles,) people develop powers that make them more super-villain than superhero - with an edge of general Stephen King-ness on top.

So obviously, not every Easter Egg in Haven is just an Easter Egg...

This week's fic is:
