But the more he loves, the more dangerous it becomes. Because the cabinet is not just a door to the past- It's alive. And it doesn't like to be forgotten. Some stories begin with a kiss.

‼️‼️STORY CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS FOR HAZBIN HOTEL SEASON 2 EPISODE 2!!!‼️‼️ Sir Pendleton was an odd man in 19th century London. Described to be a "pervert" while alive, in reality, he was further from that. Though he liked working on his inventions- or his "machines" as he called them, he also liked to watch people out on the streets from his window, being fascinated by them, and pretending as if they were apart of his life. The streets were a theater, and he was the audience. Even if it meant very personal matters (such as sexual intimacy, which he was rather ashamed of). But all of that changed one night when he witnessed a beautiful young woman walking by his workshop, only to be brutally murdered by one of his clients, yet he idly stood by and did nothing. Since that day, Pendleton lived with sorrow and guilt for not acting. One night, two nights after witnessing the gruesome murder, being so driven with guilt, he shot himself. Many of us know the rest- he ends up in hell, goes under the alias of Sir Pentious, sacrifices himself for his friends (and Cherri Bomb, of course) and gets into Heaven as a redeemed soul. But what if that never happened? What if Pendleton became so filled with guilt from his inability to act, that instead of becoming a vulnerable (yet acting villainous) snake demon in hell, he was doomed to wander his own workshop halls as a ghost? Well, that is exactly what happens. Almost ten years have passed in a still Victorian-era London, and author Emerson Wiles, a beautiful young lady, had rented the former inventor's apartment, turning it into a writer's haven. Pendleton becomes shocked at the young woman who enters his home...maybe now is the chance to do something... Season 2 episode 2 (specifically Pentious's backstory) physically broke me, so have an AU where instead of becoming a snake demon after death, he becomes a ghost...TRAUMA!!!

"There is no one-not two, not three-To grab my ankles, stop the spree. I ran along derailing trains;I saw a man's invading pains. I stood where no one dared to pass-In that forgotten moldy class."

A businessman and devoted family man, is about to celebrate his 75th birthday. However, before he reaches that landmark, he is visited by Death, who has taken human form. They make a deal, the man will be given a few extra days of his life, and Death will spend the same time getting to know what it's like to be human. It seems like a perfect arrangement, until Death falls in love. ============================== Be mindful of the dates because there are several flashbacks. This is related to my first two stories, "Don't Look Now" and "Silence Lay Steadily." The story took place when our beloved "Haikyuu!!" characters are already adults, mostly late 20s, working as professionals, some are engaged, married, divorced, some have kids, etc. Some characters know each other like their relationship in the manga/anime (like teammates or schoolmates), but some don't. Characters were reimagined as mixed with other schools, teams, or families. Some new names maybe mentioned but mostly names of their children and only a product of the author's imagination. This isn't finished yet. It's inspired by numerous scary movies and TV shows the writer had watched, a book she had read and of course, "Haikyuu!!" By the way, the writer of this story doesn't own "Haikyuu!!" or any of the characters in it. "Haikyuu!" is created by Haruichi Furudate. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. The writer used the characters' first names, example, instead of "Kuroo," the name "Tetsurou" is used. The writer will mention the TV series, movies and book she got inspiration from at the end of the story.
