    Summary

    If anyone were to turn the small town of Sugar Springs into the center of a media spectacle, it makes sense for that person to be Chase Hollow.

    Everyone should be thanking him, really, for giving them all something new to talk about. Nothing interesting has happened in Sugar Springs in a while—not since the incident at the PTA bake sale a few months ago in which Diane Forenski not-so-subtly pushed Patricia Henderson’s carrot cake off her table before pretending to faint.

    But even Chase has to admit: this is all a bit much—a huge step up from petty drama between feuding elders.

    Everything unravelled when Chase made that fateful wish.

    ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

    or, chase wishes the keys into humans, deacon lies to the fbi, and mrs. g throws a garden party.

    Summary

    “How did you get in here? The room is sealed.”
    “Hey, don’t blame me. You’re the one that brought me up here,” Chase says, ignoring Nox’s surprised spluttering, “what? No I didn’t? You’re the one—”

    “The key is—was?—me? Honestly, I’m not even sure myself,” Chase continues, words slowly fading into the background as he continues to ramble, “I can remember everything beforehand fine, but after the witch did her magic or whatever, everything is a little fuzzy and honestly it’s been so long since anyone has been able to see me, I’m just happy talking to someone again,” he goes, not realising Nox has long stopped listening.

    The key that Nox had barely thought twice about; it’s unknown magic that he’d unthinkingly taken into his own, to be absorbed when he had barely an understanding to the spell that was woven into the very fabric of the key’s construct, having thought it nothing more than tangled weave.

    Or: Nox meets Chase, a spirit echo once inhabiting a key.
    Right?

    Summary

    Silver, enchanted by the motion picture Chase called 'Wicked,' requests that he find a copy of it as a book so that she can 'try something out.'

    What awaits them in the pages of the novel is a colorful— dare I even say, wonderful— time.

    Summary

    He shouldn’t know any of this, but he does and it’s driving him fucking crazy.

    It just makes him seem so much more… human. So much more Chase. Chase Hollow, apparently, according to the nametag stuck on his backpack next to all of the star stickers.

    And seeing Chase as a regular, kind-hearted, goofy, completely normal teenage boy—that was not supposed to happen. Nox is supposed to see Chase as the enemy—as the annoying human obstacle in the way of his plans.

    What he’s not supposed to do is feel giddy when the annoying human obstacle unknowingly invades his secret base.

    Summary

    Bronze narrows his eyes.

    No one is supposed to be in the kitchen right now. He knows that with absolute certainty. Which means, if Chase’s ramblings about a particular villainess and his chocolate obsession are to be believed…

    This must be Buddy.

    Bronze clears his throat as he ventures forth into the room.

    The reaction is immediate. The figure spins around like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar before dinner—eyes wide, fork frozen mid-air.

    Bronze feels his face drop. It’s strange feeling skin and muscles contort instead of the usual stillness of metal—but the sensation barely registers. There’s something else, something far heavier beneath his bones, dragging through his chest like a boulder sinking in water.

    He knows that face.

    And he watches in slow motion as “Buddy” appears to be experiencing a similar emotion.

    ✩ ₊ ˚.⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺ ₊ ✩

    or, bronze is the helper key for a reason.
