Ready or Not fic recs

i won't rise until this battle's won by alphaesque words: 22399

“I won’t lie to you, Grace.” Daniel’s voice sparks to life, clearer than she’s ever heard it, losing some of the disingenuous quality that she’d chalked up to copious amounts of alcohol and a clearly unhappy marriage. “But, you are going to make it out of here alive.”

“Oh, really?”

He smiles and its real, genuine, eyes alight with a sense of vigor that rekindles her own fire. “Someone has to burn it all down, right?”

Personal addition: it’s amazing! It focuses both on the events of the night and the aftermath, I loved it!

Try, Die Again by Croik words: 16855 TIME LOOP AU

After the dust settles, Grace awakens to find herself exactly where she started, with a card in her hand, ready to play again. But this time will be different; for both their sake’s, it will have to be.

said he’d love me for the rest of my days by shaekspeares words: 13771

Most people spend the days after their wedding blissfully in love, maybe on a beach somewhere, reliving their best memories from the blessed day. Grace spends the aftermath of hers in hospital, and the most reliving she gets are the trauma-induced nightmares of her beloved husband and his family trying to brutally murder her to satisfy the literal devil.

Then her dead husband’s dead brother comes back to life, and things get even more complicated. Maybe she should write a self-help book.

there are cracks in the road we laid, but where the temple fell the secrets have gone mad by RedRosesArePink words: 11552

Grace plays a few rounds of Jenga with her in-laws on her wedding night. In the end she runs anyway.

Personal addition: my absolute favorite fic that has so far been written. Creation of all characters is so amazing, I love everything about it!

blest be the tie that binds by shaekspeares words: 11429

Months after her wedding ordeal, Grace's hard-earned stability is severely threatened by the reappearance of the Le Domas family in her life as ghosts intent on avenging themselves by having her dead by Halloween. As if the horror of having her narrow escape from a satanist nightmare revoked wasn't enough to live with, her technically-ex-but-sort-of-current-husband will stop at nothing to convince her to take him back- nevermind the fact he's legally dead and she asked for a divorce last they spoke.

It is telling that her new best friend seems to have become the ghost of her alcoholic ex-brother-in-law. That little girl from the Ring had nothing on a horde of pissed off angry dead billionaires.

don't waste another heartbeat by pseudowoodo words: 10564

“I’d like to offer you a deal.”

Daniel snorts. “And what? All it’ll cost is my immortal soul?”

Le Bail raises an eyebrow in amusement. “I thought you didn’t have one of those.”

Daniel gets one chance to do the night over and save his little brother but the task proves much more difficult than he thought.

recover, try again. by fairycafes (kooscafe) words: 7617

Grace survives, Daniel survives, but surviving isn't living. Together, they will try to recover again, to try again, to love again, and again, and again.

But it's not so easy.

let's play another game. by fairycafes (kooscafe) words: 7194 TIME LOOP AU

She almost thinks she’s hallucinating when she flips the card over and subsequently drops it.

Hide and Seek.

Inside, the scorched record player starts up with a screech. Grace bristles, tears forming in her wide eyes, nails digging into her palm. Run run run, time to run and hide--

“No. Fucking fuck, no--” Equal parts rage and fear pump through her, bruised body shooting up off the ground and looking around, crazed and frightened and--

Le Bail stands before her. "Let's play another game."

that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam by alphaesque words: 6719 TIME LOOP AU

The worst part of reliving the same night over and over is not the various paths she could’ve taken but that no matter the path, the end result remains the same.

Her in-laws explode and her husband betrays her.

(Not, obviously, in that order.)

17 Dresses (Back into the dark again.) by AngelWithoutWings words: 6653 TIME LOOP AU

Grace has lived through this night so many times it's getting hard to keep track. Every night the disaster of her wedding repeats. Every night at the godforsaken table in that game room, she prays that maybe she won't pull Hide and Seek. (She always does). Daniel catches her eyes often and she feels a chill run up her spin. (The devil does love a good game, but every game has rules.)

Us (2019) dir. Jordan Peele

[gothhyrax]

For anyone curious about the mention of Jeremiah 11:11 (besides it's obvious symmetrical symbolism); the verse reads as follows:

"Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them."

31 Nights of Halloween Horror 2019: Night 30

My choice for today was: The Prodigy (2019)

I rated this movie 6/10! I was pleasantly surprised by this. I was expecting your run of the mill, creepy kid is possessed movie, and that’s not what this was. I would have rated it a 7, but there was a few unexplained plot holes in the beginning of the movie, that left a few important things unanswered. Decent acting from the adults, but I was pleased with young Jackson Robert Scott. After IT, and this movie, I hope to see him in more upcoming horror movies. Decent watch if you’re sort of bored. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls095693749/
