Summary
Last year, in the Fourth of July's sweltering summer heat, Joseph Kavinsky tried to take his own life.
He succeeded for only a few minutes, but survived, his loyal dogs dutifully saving the life he didn't want. Rehab was an awful way to come back into the realm of the living and the sobriety didn't stick. Kavinsky drops out of high school, aimless and miserable, trying to regain control of the dream forest that now has him branded for what he is-a dream thief. What's worse, he's begun pouring black, tarry liquid from his fucking face anytime he doesn't dream for too long. Trying to hide his supernatural ails and struggling to keep the pieces of his life together enough not to burden his friends, a voice begins to come to him in his sleep, promising a better world for dreamers like him. Movement with freedom. No more nightwash. A world that was shaped for things like him.
The pack graduates from Aglionby and go to begin their lives of college and adulthood, and Kavinsky is left alone to his own devices. Sick of the excuse of a life he's been living, he gives in to the wills of the mysterious dreamer sharing his nights, and discovers he is, for better or worse, much less alone than he believed.

Summary
His world was a nightmare but that doesn't mean it couldn't have bloomed into something better. A canon compliant (minus the fact that he lived) Joseph Kavinsky fix it. Recovery is a long road but Kavinsky is going to be dragged along for the ride whether he likes it or not. Don't expect flowers and butterflies until the end.
The AU my boy deserves, thank youTechnically a standalone, but to understand characterizations, stories, and OCs, it'd help to read the Dreaming in a Nightmare series. Which is no small feat, I know, I'm sorry. I'm going to do character bios per requested by a reader soon, so maybe that'll help instead.

Summary
It reminded him of all the sleepless nights spent with his bedroom window open wide to let out the smoke or the scent of sex or sweat or blood, to let the night flood in. To make it easier to breathe, out and in. Out and in. Out and...
It reminded him of watching Ronan Lynch wake up in the middle of an alley and after a heartbeat of seeing nothing, seeing him become everything. -

Summary

Summary
Quando abriu os olhos no escuro e gélido quarto de hospital, Kavinsky pensou que finalmente estivesse morto.
Não por causa da dor que sentia; nem por causa da rigidez de seus músculos ou do tremular de suas pálpebras.
Mas sim graças ao (belo) garoto loiro parado em frente à cama ao lado. Kavinsky tinha certeza que se tratava de um anjo.
Exceto que, uh, se estivesse morto, seu destino seria o céu?
Resposta: definitivamente não.

Summary
Henry vaguely recalls the memory of her sister’s impossibly picturesque room being flooded with sunlight, the light scent of vanilla which had always seemed to linger around, and sundresses scattered everywhere as far as the eye could see.
He remembers being freshly 16, naive and yearning (wanting much much more).

Summary
The entire week, instead of focusing on schoolwork or the Greywaren, Henry spent focusing on why it bothered him so much that his mother didn’t care about who he was sleeping with. This focus turned into anger at himself which turned into anger with Joseph Kavinsky. So, Henry knew he had to get back at him somehow. Which was how he ended up walking up to the Kavinsky’s godawful mansion at 1:00 in the afternoon and ringing the doorbell.
Two rings later and the door finally pulled open to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman. Henry stares, completely flabbergasted by her dark, doe eyes and long, blonde hair. She looks at him with a cold mask, clearly unimpressed to have a young man on her doorstep.

Summary
Ronan Lynch wants a life of meaning. He wants to experience the world and have a life with Adam Parrish - no matter what. But he's trapped - by the ley line, by the government, by the fear of the unknown.
Until a ghost from the past shows up and offers him a way out, a way to be the person he always wanted to be, a way to impact the world, a way to not be forever alone inside. But with the resurrection of Joseph Kavinsky comes the resurrection of other things: unresolved trauma, an overabundance of self-doubt and distrust and warring desires, and the increasing realization that he wasn't known... and that he /wanted/ to be known.
Kavinsky offers him a resolution: help me get what I want and I will help you get what you want.
It's a deal with the devil.
It's the promise of freedom at the cost of becoming a player on a global sociopolitical chessboard.

Summary
It was weird how he was going to die this night in a Virginia field. Where he and his mother moved to run away from a life of murder and lies. Probably no one was going to find his forsaken decayed body until maybe years later after his father put him in the hard dirt floor.
It was kinda a nice thought.
If it had happened.
