I just want to chime in say that I really really appreciate that finding Willow can still be our primary motivator. there are a fair amount of IFs that get lost in their own ro/setting-weeds and I'm incredibly grateful that this is not one of them. My MC is going to fight and claw and bite until she can be sure that Willow is okay. That's what a big sister is for, after all.
Oh, thank you!! It's probably not a surprise, but I'm a big brother. I've been obsessed with the intricacies of sibling relationships in fiction for forever (to the point that when my best friend read the prologue she was like "of course it's about siblings" lol)
All that to say, Willow will always be able to be on the MCs mind. In a way, the relationship between the two of them is the heart of the story, right alongside the horrors and the mystery.
It makes me super happy that you appreciate that part of the story!! Because, yeah, the ROs and the magic and the mystery are very important, but Willow's the reason MC went into the lake in the first place <3
Hi! I was going to release this in the morning but I'm doubtful that I'll be able to get out of bed in time so....here's the update! Chapter 2, Part 1 is now playable on itch.io.
I've done my best to fix errors but please remember it is a WIP so I'm 100% sure someone will find some. If you have time, please let me know and I can do a bug fix :)

I won't answer any spoilers for a couple of days. When I do, I'll use the tag "ch2 spoilers" in case you want to avoid it.
I hope you like the update. (or at least don't hate it LOL)
Summary: Pete’s an Omega who got a surprise bundle of joy after a steamy one night stand at an exclusive club in downtown Bangkok. He doesn’t remember the handsome Alpha who fathered his child—the club was dark and they’d both been a little too tipsy to grab numbers after a mind-blowing time together. All Pete has to remember the Alpha by is the all-too vague memory of his intoxicating scent and a tiny baby boy with a death glare that can cut through mountains when he doesn’t get his way.
It was the best night of Pete’s life, but was it worth it?

“I just want to know,” She’s slow to lift her head to meet his gaze, beating back the burning eyes by blinking a few times, “Is the person that I followed to hell and back, the person that I —”
“That?” Kodelyn raises an eyebrow when he pauses trying to get the sentence out, her armor clinking as she crosses her arms over her chest.
“The person that I loved, are you still in there…somewhere?”
If she could’ve short circuited in that moment, she would’ve. She’s nearly sure that she has, considering her train of thought grinds to halt. She bites her bottom lip as if to keep it from falling open after his admittance to caring about her at some point in time.
Loved.

The question is on the tip of her tongue, and she asks before she can bite down and quell it, “Major?“
Something flickers through his eyes when she meets them, maybe regret or remorse but she can’t place it.
“You hadn’t heard?” Anderson questions.
Was she supposed to? Had it been in one of the reports that her eyes had glazed over once she’d received it?
The fact that he outranked her now, she figured that would’ve caught her eye in her bimonthly updates. She’s not hurt by the fact she hadn’t been informed, not really. It hadn’t been her business because he hadn’t been on her crew and vice versa, but her mind wanders to the what ifs of the situation before clamping down on it, “No. I hadn’t.“
“Sorry Shepard. It’s been, well…” He trails off. She can nearly fill in the blanks herself, which she does. All of them have a dismal tone to them. Horizon flickers like a flame in the back of her consciousness, licking and feeding into her own doubt. She’d never been able to quite shake how the now year-past events had left her reeling, and something about him standing in front of her now, with them both flying Alliance colors again, leaves her feeling…off. She figures she should feel something, anything, by his appearance, but she feels nothing but rattled. Caught off guard. Any confidence she had two second ago has vanished into the tense atmosphere.
“That’s okay. Just, glad I bumped into you, Kaidan.” She quickly responds. She’s not sure what else to say, what he even wants to hear from her. His eyes give away little more than veiled relief.
The ghost of a smile crosses his expression at her response once it sinks in, butterflies fluttering in her ribcage, “Yeah, me too.“

Soon, they discover that this 2,300-year-old fallen prince is not quite what they expect, and that they have connections with him reaching across millennia…

Summary:
Slade Wilson doesn't have a single reliable contact in the magical community. Something about killing them off whenever they inevitably tried to pull one over on him. So he goes to Batman for help because they're both in the same bind. For some stupid reason Slade can't possibly fathom, Joey and Rose went into a house that turned them into cats, and guess who followed? Jason Todd and Dick Grayson, of course. So now Batman will have no choice but to help him get their brats back.
That is, of course, if Slade can resist killing the Batman first.
