Notes:

these aren't gonna be ordered chronologically and i'll most definitely be skipping around the timeline, but there will most likely be hints in the work that tell you how long it's been since they escaped. i'll probably leave out important details to be filled in/followed up on in later works. most of these are probably gonna turn out to be oneshots but there might be a few 2 or 3 chaptered fics if it becomes necessary ? updates will probably be pretty inconsistent and slow because i'll be juggling schoolwork and such

7/20/26 edit this has been abandoned (if any of you were still hanging around) both because of forsaken's downfall forever ago and because im just not really into these characters anymore except my fanonized version of 1x cause shes the #goat. sorry friends.

for some closure: spectre was weakened by power of friendship (i had a genuinely indepth breakdown of this but thats basically what it boils down to + 1x being the #goat); the people that are stuck in spectre torture hell are 7n7, 2time, taph, noob, veeronica, chance, builderman, noli, jason, john doe, dusekkar, any character added after noli cause15k+ words of planning for this happened before the newer shit i.e. i lied and it's 'some' (7 exactly) not 'most' of the cast that escape; works were going to focus on how surviving characters dealt with the aftermath with flashbacks to the actual events of the escape (where 1x took on a vital role), including a 5+1 on elliot and mafioso, a roughly planned shedletsky fic focused on his anger and need for revenge with buildermon crumbs, 1x becoming a bum and mr builder helping her reacclimate to society after being chained to a baseplate preforsaken for years and years, and smaller stuff like: shedletsky taking care of c00lkidd in 7n7's absence/becoming a dumb single father and mia getting a crush on charlotte (guest 1337's daughter) and charlotte stubbornly befriending guest 666 (+some astrals stuff from bloxwatch) and shedletsky trying to make things up with 1x. i dont know how many of you actually gaf about this but i figure after hours of writing spent on this fixation i ought not to leave it hanging totally silent
