Heyo, patrons! To finish up my part of the Spooptober season, this week I’m doing something a little different. Not a Halloween fic, per se, but definitely a fic written in a spoopy canon: Darkest Dungeon.

Since we’ve never seen this canon in the Library before, here’s the quick and dirty: Darkest Dungeon is a roguelike turn-based RPG based within Lovecraft’s Eldritch mythos. The premise is that a rich dude finds ruins under the grounds of his estate and it leads down a twisted road to madness and ruination. With the estate in the clutches of the evil he unleashed, rich dude’s last action is to try to undo what he caused. He does this by handing the estate over to the player, who is in the role of his last remaining blood relative, and begging you to fix everything. The introduction from the game sets this up way better than I can in words:

Critiqued by BatJamags

Hello once again, patrons! I’m your host, BatJamags, and I’m back with something new! What’s new? Scooby-Sue!

Wait, that’s not new. But it is the last chapter, so let’s get to it, huh?

CHAPTER: Together Again

For the first time!

AUTHOR: IrishTomboy06 RATING: R PAIRING: Thorn/OC DISCLAMIER: I own none of them except Jaguar and Cú and anyone else that aren’t part of the original Scooby-verse, though I wish I did. FEEDBACK: Welcome WARNING: If love between two women bothers you then get out NOW! Also, this chapter doesn’t have graphic sex but it…hints towards it. So if you’re too young or fear that you’ll get in trouble DON’T read this.

Cover your eyes, kiddoes.

Cheers exploded as red, purple and green smoke burst from the ground, concealing the three singers as they got off stage.

Escape

“Good job girls.” A gangly man with long tied back hair and a soul patch patted the three on their backs as they came off.

I’ve seen worse band names, but I don’t know what was wrong with “Hex Girls.”

“Thanks Billy.” Dusk smirked. “This is the last one of our tour then we can go home.”

Last what? Show?

“Yeah. Back to a ‘normal’ life. Or whatever that is for rock stars like us.” Luna added with a wry grin.

Is that funny? I’m not sure that’s funny.

Thorn smiled at her friends. She stretched, popping her back and sighed. For about three years now they’d been major celebrates. Things seemed to be going their way, what with C.D. sails through the roof, plenty of adoring fans and now tours that only seemed to heighten their popularity.

They did the popularing of the musics. Have you observed how famous they are, reader? Very celebrate.

As the three started to put away their gear Billy came up to Thorn and handed her a single rose with a note attached. “Hey Thorn. You got another one.”

Did you know that roses don’t actually have thorns? They have prickles.

Hello once again, patrons! I’m your host, BatJamags, and I’m back with a fic snarkily nicknamed Scooby Sue! We resume unlucky Chapter 13 in progress.

Scooby, Shaggy and the others were fast asleep, curled up in blankets on the floor, couch or chair.

What, did they have Situationally Dependent Quantum Sleeping Arrangements?

Thorn, Dusk and Luna were upstairs in Thorn’s room asleep.

Does this house not have any guest rooms?

Or at least Thorn was trying to get to sleep but her mind was wondering greatly. Why couldn’t she remember anything of today? The last thing she could recall was falling asleep upstairs. Usually she remembered a concert day but for some reason she was drawing a blank.

Wait, did she only lose the last twenty-four hours? I think everybody knew some shit was about to go down before then. So why don’t they remember that?

And what was wrong with Jaguar? The woman seemed distant, almost haunted, for lack of a better term.

ZOINKS!

There was something that her love wasn’t telling her and she wanted to know what it was. But would the Hunter ever tell her?

Probably not.

The singer stopped her pondering when she heard footsteps outside her door. Getting up and quietly exiting she noticed a light under Jaguar’s door. Creeping towards it she knocked softly. There was a quick shuffling of something then silence before the door opened to show Jaguar.

Actually, what’s Jaguar Sue even doing back here?

“Thorn? What is it?”

A little pointy bit that grows on a plant, but that’s not important right now.

Uh, Kane?

Kane?

*A glowing, hovering, disembodied hand floats into the Riffcave and makes a rude gesture*

I guess he left after the warlock character got killed.
