ranpoe faust au ranpoe faust au
poe, deeply deprived by his own brilliance. literally selling his soul as a way of defeating his rival — his only trepidation.
the obsession with ranpo shifting from ‘i want to best him intellectually’ to ‘i will distort reality to better cage him. break him.’ then to ‘i will coerce him into selling his soul.’
except the demonic entity poe sold his soul to is slowly consuming him. poe losing himself, driven to insanity as he cannot tell if his feelings towards ranpo are wholly his own anymore.
ranpo slowly realizing what’s happened. the guilt of poe selling his soul because of him. the denial of poes condition against the growing evidence that poe cannot possibly be human anymore.
rewriting is fun because sometimes you're left with barely the original thing because of how much you cut out and sometimes you add about 50% more words and a whole new scene lol

WAIT WILL THE FIC BE POSTED ON FANFICTION. NET BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL PLEASE
Yes, I post all my fics on Tumblr, AO3, and Fanficiton.net simultaneously :)
AO3 and FF.net might get parts 2 and 3 early (as in I’d just post all 3 chapters together), since I’ll want to space them out on tumblr so the chapters don’t all dump in a blob.
Me at 4 PM: I won’t edit what’s already on Ao3.
Me at 8 PM: Aaaaah! That’s better!
how it started
how it’s going
