Lloyd and Harumi survived, but not without scars. As a concerning rumor starts to circle around, the team is called back into action. But will past mistakes haunt current decisions, and more importantly, can Lloyd and Harumi learn to trust themselves again? Follow along as the team is invited to visit a fabled kingdom, which holds a dark secret deep in its mountains. This is a rewrite of my Mamoritai series!

Nicky has gotten out of the basement, got his friends and family back, but something is still out of place. He's having continuous flashbacks, nightmares, and thoughts that are unwanted in his head. Will his friends and family finally listen to him? Will he go back to normal and forget all of this happened? Writing and art/images by Troglodyte (me)

It's time I corrected the wrongs and do something very few people have ever done for these two.

Nicky Roth was the one who broke into Peterson's house, only to be kidnapped and to meet with a fate that traumatized him...to a mere mumbling mess in the dark corner in the shadows with a sack that shields him from the horrors he has experienced, wearing a stitched on smile through it all. However, what if Nicky wasn't the one to be kidnapped....what if each individual on the rescue squad got captured, and they had to be the ones wearing these burn lap sacks as they mumbled in the safe little world they made for themselves behind the stitched-on smile? How would Nicky react to each of them suffering as they wear that sack?

Well, it's time I share my long headcanon for these two! Ever since I read the books, I've had tons of headcanons for this ship. (Nicky Roth x Maritza Esposito)
