If a cure seems too good to be true, it definitely is.

(I'll add a better description soon! Just wanting to get something posted for the time being so I can kick myself into gear working on it again. This is a WIP I may update slowly; it was written back in 2014-2019 and needs a ton of edits. I will be back to updating my other ongoing work soon as well!) -

Summary
This is a work based on cut content in Year 4, from Grim Fandango's original puzzle document. In specific, it deals with the trial of the soul often known as "The Crossing of Dark Water" and how Manny and friends overcome this trial prior to the events we see on screen in Year 4.
This work is meant to be a love letter to Grim Fandango and everything I have adored about it since the very first time I picked up a joystick and played it through to the end. It has inspired me throughout my life and continues to inspire me every day in my art, and that is a generosity I cannot repay. This is a story about love, and change, and what it means to love others.

Summary
In a world where an apocalyptic clash between warring deities has caused a "reset" in the reincarnation cycle, a now-living Manny Calavera is haunted by memories of a past life and death which no one else shares, and a powerful, secret, supernatural "touch" which threatens to drag his new life, and everyone else in it, into ruin. An impulsive decision has invited tragedy and danger to Manny's doorstep, and a debonair international spy investigating the mystery may be the only person that stands between Manny and an inevitable disaster.

Summary
She looks up and down the length of the pool and then back at me with a smile.
“Well, you seem to be enjoying it. I’m happy to see that.”
“Oh, I am. I hate to admit, but it’s been good for my knees.”
She gives me another smug, self-satisfied smirk that makes my blood run hot in more than one way. “Now aren’t you glad I went behind your back to have it put in?”

Summary
McWexler through the years. Includes Kim and Jimmy POVs.
*NEWEST CHAPTER* takes place during "Plan and Execution"
"Screw the money. You did it for fun.”
Kim winced at the word ever so slightly, and not because Howard was saying something untrue. It was because he was right about her; maybe more right than he’d ever been before.

Summary
Albuquerque makes a disgustingly beautiful first impression: the sky as big and curved and blue as he’s always heard it can be, streaked with paintbrush clouds. Distant mountains rise from the impossibly flat land like slumbering lizards, their skin mottled and cracked beneath the blistering desert sun.
Jimmy never thought the straight and narrow could be so vast.

Summary
On the desk, next to the ash-filled saucer, the packet of cigarettes waits. The plastic wrapper is crushed at the bottom end, catching the light, but she doesn’t smoke anymore.
Not unless she’s with him.
Post-canon slow burn.
