Trauma can sometimes bring people together. Especially when shared. Like the trauma of being trapped in a hellish parallel universe and chased by monsters, for example. However, even after escaping trauma, psychological scars remain. And those psychological scars can sometimes reopen. Not related to Evil Within 2, no idea what it's about.

After beating the photographer's "Work of Art," Sebastian wonders what caused the insane killer to change the way he has become. He suddenly dives into the past, and with each step he takes to slowly uncovering the truth of the man behind the camera, Stefano Valentini.

Ruvik will stop at nothing to return to reality, and has no qualms in eliminating any threats that stand in his way. Humans were mere bugs to be crushed; easily manipulated― but when he encounters an unforeseen and equally formidable opponent within his domain, things begin to change. Ruvik x OC. (Rating may increase for later chapters.)

Trapped once more in another STEM world - this time a result of willingness and strong determination to save his daughter - Sebastian is forced to navigate his way through and survive the horrors within. But what happens when he encounters the self-proclaimed art master Stefano? An encounter where in which he's already run out of ammunition?

Little Ruby Red Ruben, searching for answers to his impossible question. It would plague him for ages. Laura made everything she touched look completely different. She was so different. But why? Even when he rebuild the world, the blood that stained her skin glowed crimson and beautiful. She embodied perfection no matter how much she tried to blend in.

He was awake now, but he barely believed it. He remembers Juli Kidman, why did she let him live?

Right as she enters the STEM Juli has an encounter with a terrifying entity from within it.

The first and only girl Ruvik hasn't scared away accidentally makes her way into STEM, and he struggles to keep her alive. At first, she's the definition of saccharine innocence, but Ruvik finds that sometimes beauty is a cover for something horrid. [Unfinished as of right now but if there's ANY interest I'll continue. Rated M for later content.]

Sebastian Castellanos and Juli Kidman meet while investigating Reuben Victoriano's lab hidden in Krimson Academy. There they find horrors of the worst kind, and barely survive the night.

This chronicles Kidman's experience meeting and working with Sebastian and Joseph, long before STEM changes everything. If you were ever curious about Sebastian's last few journals, this is my idea of how that went... Mild Joseph/Kidman. Rated T for language.

Sebastian is back in STEM and all he wants is to get out. But he never expected the key would involve someone he never thought he'd see again...

Sebastian is finally reunited with his partner, No genres I really wanted to use, but hopefully these work.

It was almost odd how easily the human body could persist and preserve- and yet, on the same side of the coin, be so easily ripped apart
