Slowly, Mumbo reaches into his pocket and fishes out his cellphone—his personal one, not his work phone—and hits the only number saved in it. When Grian still doesn’t pick up, Mumbo fires off a text.

Mumbo: You need to come home Mumbo: Right now Mumbo: I think I’ve just killed a man.

Turns out, Mumbo’s best friend has been keeping a few secrets from him.

Come close, come close, fun waffleduo and superhero identity reveal shenanigans over here!!! (*quickly kicks away “kinda unhealthy codependent friendship that you based your entire sense of self-worth on while your superhero best friend goes through the horrors and all you can do is watch as he outgrows and leaves you behind”*) woah what was that, did yall see that, that was wild, haha anyway!!

My piece for @hotguycomiczine‘s Ghost Issues, a supplementary volume to Volume 1! Please go check out the zine and everyone else’s pieces! It has been cooking for so long, you’re in for a treat!!

This fic was only made possible by @googly88fancy who graced it with such a gorgeous cover piece that I literally want to frame it on a wall, @definitelynotshouting​ for editing and the never-ending belief and encouragement, and especially @shortkidenergy​ who, after listening to me constantly mope about being haunted by this fic forever, forcefully kicked down my door and exorcised it themselves ghostbusters style. Thank you all for keeping this fic going <3
