TW/CW: EXTREMELY graphic depictions of death, gore, and derealization
Author's Note: Although you should read at your own risk, don't run away yet! This book isn't actually that bad, and it's kind of a test of my writing skills.
All art is done by me! :P
Imagine a world
where you're never in control
and you're forced to watch
the twisted actions
and the unblamed consequences
of the person who IS...
Every time you get three away
you get pushed five back.
You want to know the truth
but it always slips away.
You're stuck in the truth
never able to get it out of your head.
Hold it together.
Undertale belongs to Toby Fox and is not mine
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic belongs to Hasbro and is not mine
This AU, this text and any art included all belongs to me, but not their separate parts, again, rights go to their respective owners
[HUGE NOTE:
Although similar scenes will take place, this fanfic is no longer canon to the STC. Not that you'd know what it is, I just haven't made it yet, so, um, sorry if I disappointed anyone! This will just be... uh... a thing, yeah. Also, this isn't exactly discontinued, but it won't be continuing in the NEAR near future. Expect a Deltarune-kinda wait. Okay, thanks for reading!]
Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son.
*****
Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
