  2. Summary

    PATHOS: /ˈpeɪθɒs/; plural: pathea; Greek: πάθος, for "suffering" or "experience;" adjectival form: 'pathetic'
        1. an appeal to the emotions of the audience
        2. a feeling of sympathy or pity: a stab of pathos
        3. the quality or power in an actual life experience or in literature, music, speech, or other forms of expression, of evoking a feeling of pity, or of sympathetic and kindly sorrow or compassion.

     

    THE PATHOS PROJECT is a project of my own design to practice looking at similar themes in text, mood, tone, and concept with specifically selected concepts, terms, and ideas. it is also designed to help process, organize, and express thoughts, material, and issues which are relevant or specifically impacting at the time of writing.

    most all material for THE PATHOS PROJECT is completely unedited, raw material.
    some of the works created for THE PATHOS PROJECT will be considered under 'fanfiction' but some will not or it will be open to interpretation. All fan works will be posted here. Others will be here

  5. Summary

    All stories and work related to the initial story How to Pet: A User's Guide (c. 2013). Includes the initial story of Chen the cat turning into Chen the human and various plots surrounding it. Various edits have been made to the content of the initial and following word correcting very basic errors in grammar, spelling, and mechanics. Some offensive terminology has been removed and some scenes very slightly doctored (nothing major). This entire series was written initially as a joke and reader's discretion is advised for adult content.

    Summary

    ‘Blood?’ Eddie says again.

    Eyes black but for the slice of iridescent white in the centre. His teeth are sharp, his hands are weapons and Steve thinks maybe he’s made a mistake doing this without telling Eddie first. Eddie’s focus lowers, it moves to his left hand which is…

    Oh fuck.

    It’s dripping blood onto the floor.

    ‘Shit,’ Steve says, takes a single step back, swallows. ‘Eddie, I’m so sorry, fuck.’

    Eddie can’t seem to look away, can’t bring his ethereal gaze back up where it belongs. Steve thinks he should run, he should flee. A tiny part of him knows Eddie will chase him. Eddie will catch him, outrun him easily.

    It's more than a little fucked up how that thrills him.

    Summary

    A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...

    This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.

    Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!

    ::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::

    Summary

    Eddie wakes from a nightmare about the bats. Again.

    About a week ago, Steve Harrington gave him his number with instructions to call if he needed anything. Said number is tacked on Eddie's wall under his Anthrax poster.

    555-9878
    -Steve H.

    But it's 3:17 a.m. and Eddie probably shouldn't call. Definitely shouldn't call.

    (Eddie calls.)

    Summary

    It’s cruel that he can’t lay beside him forever, spend the rest of their lives in this bed ‘till death takes them, because there’s no place in which he wants to die other than in his arms. Cruel that they can’t mold together, that he can’t feel his skin connect with Steve’s in a way that won’t let them separate again, that makes the passage of time equal on both of their bodies.
    He wants to stay and watch as wrinkles and dark spots appear on his face, proof of the years, a time he spent only with him; wants to count his moles and freckles until he can trace them with his eyes closed, keep track as new ones take shape on his skin and memorize them with the others.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson doesn't mind working at the Family Video Store. It's a nice sense of normalcy (not to mention money) and he gets to see Robin more because of it. However, between working together and sharing the same best friend, he's also been seeing a lot more of Steve Harrington.

    He wants nothing more than to enjoy mindless fun with his friends now that everything with Vecna is over, but Eddie's finding it hard to move on from what happened. Even if the strangest thing in his life right now was simply the fact he and Steve Harrington might actually be friends.
