masterpost of all of my Near Dark fics so far. AO3 links in title.
On the Sharpened Edge of Time. 1932, North Carolina. A bootlegger's sister goes on the run after he ends up in jail, taking the heat for a body she put in the ground. While heading west to nowhere, she has an encounter that rewrites her fate. Ongoing.
Up in Flames. 1986, a lonely highway shoulder. "Is that why you didn’t let Severen rip his head off? Because you did something stupid and impulsive once too?” Complete, one-shot.
Does it have to be a life so full of dread? 1934, Louisiana. A freshly turned vampire wonders if her blood, her body, still appeals to her partner now that she's no longer alive. Over the course of the day, she finds out no matter how good this second-life tastes, it has its downsides. Complete, one-shot.
LA Woman 1966, Los Angeles, California. The clan has an extended stay in a city for once. Severen needs adult supervision, Diamondback needs a therapist, but they'll have to settle for one another. Complete, one-shot.
A Lovely Way to Burn 1984, Arizona. Diamondback is either living in a fairytale or a horror novel. Which one? Ask her again in an hour. Complete, one-shot
Morning. Late Summer 1986, Oklahoma. Direct follow up to the film with flashbacks of Diamond's origin story that I fleshed out in "Time" I wrote the general outline of this when I was a teenager, and have been messing with it since. How much a body can survive how much a mind can handle? Eventually I'll write a full and proper sequel but for now, we see the family (quite literally) pull themselves back together. Complete, one-shot.
Knife Trick 1986, Kansas. Caleb witnesses a relatively normal evening with Mae's family, learns something about their existence. This entire fic was a set up for a shameless Aliens reference. This is one of my oldest ND fics, and finally posted it last year. I should rewrite it at some point. Complete, one-shot.
