    Summary

    "And it was a warmth that thawed out newly formed bones, a cloying syrup that clogged his throat solidly he thought he might drown, choking against a film that refused to shift - suffocating slowly. Pressed against Mark’s neck and shoulder, he smelled of something citrus, spiced and clean, frankincense smeared into his skin, fragrant and sacred - but he tasted - he tasted like gold."

     

    Or: Sometime following the events of Part 1, a mimic formerly known as Cesar Hernández wakes up in the nothingness it originally came from. Confused and lost in a jumble of memories that are both its own and not at all, it clings to the one thing it can remember: a boy with sad brown eyes and a crucifix.

    Summary

    "Mark had given eighteen years of his life in servitude and this was what it bought him? The death of the only person he had left and a copy of them in their place?

    He was a good Christian. He had always been a good Christian.

    And he had been forsaken."

     

    Amidst the loss and confusion of recent events, Mark Owens falls into a crisis of faith like never before. It certainly doesn't help that God is silent despite his cries, pushing him ever further onto a path of revenge. Cian Daniels is trying his best to keep this kid as safe as he can whilst meeting Mark halfway, before he can get himself killed.

    A direct continuation of 'Mimicry'.

    Summary

    "Its name was Cesar Hernández.

    It hadn’t needed a name before - there was no need for them in the darkness it had crawled out of. But humans needed names, so now, it had one too."

    -

    When an unfathomable being awakens from a void to complete its one and only task, it finds itself enamoured with the very thing it's supposed to destroy.

    Or: An eldritch beast tries a little too hard to be human. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    -

    'Hail, True Body' is a religious horror series that focuses on what it means to be human in a world that God has abandoned. For Mark Owens, 1993 is shaping up to be the worst year of his young life - and that's saying a lot all things considered. When his best friend Cesar Hernández calls him one night in October, Mark ignores the broadcast warnings to help him out. But Cesar is acting... strange.

    Though perhaps that's understandable. His mother did just die, after all.

    Summary

    When Cesar Torres decides to go over to Mark's house for the night, he doesn't think much of it. The two were really close friends, and they had sleepovers frequently. So what if there was a warning going around, broadcasts begging them to stay home?

    He doesn't think much of it, that is, until he has a nightmare. Until he remembers his Mom is alone at home.

    Or: Cesar Torres meets an Alternate that night, but it doesn't end as it should; Cesar wakes back up, and he's no longer human.
