Sam will visit today.
He had thrown his clock into the lava, what must have been an hour prior - it was hard to keep track of time when Do Not Burn was, well, burned. He needed his clock, he needed to hear the tick, tick, tick that simultaneously shatters and repairs his mind, but- he needs the warden more. When the clocks burned, it means a few hours of clawing at the walls until his fingernails cracked and bled and softly mimicking the ticking sound to himself to give himself a small bit of comfort as he’s dragged deeper and deeper into spirals, but it also means a few seconds, maybe even a full conversation, on his luckiest days, with the warden.
He’d throw away a thousand clocks if it meant so much as a brush of Sam’s fingers against his arm.
finish on ao3 here // read the original twitter fic here !!

Dear Wednesday,
I’m assuming from your lack of response to my texts you either: 1) Don’t know how to respond, or 2) you, like, don’t want to???? D:
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to text, it’s really convenient I swear! Join us in the modern era! >B)
Anyway, I took it upon myself to do some digging, and I was able to track down your address, and I thought “You know what? Wednesday seems like the kind of analog girl that might enjoy a handwritten letter!” Now you know how this lovely letter has graced your presence! Also, I hope you like the little early Christmas present I sent you too! Wait, do you celebrate Christmas? D: Um, it’s just a nice December gift, how about that?! ^_^
You better respond B-T-Ws! You aren’t getting out of talking to me over break! >:3c I have my ways of making you talk, Addams!
Anyway….what’s been happening since I last saw you…. Well there’s a full moon coming up, it’ll be the first time wolfing out with my family so I’m like super nervous! >w< Wish me luck!
Ajax is also going to be visiting, sometime before the full moon. He’s taking me out on a romantic moonlit stroll at this new meat market, can you believe it??? It only took me sending him various links to its grand opening for him to figure it out but we got there! XD
Speaking of visiting, you totally need to visit me! It’s really rainy and gloomy right now! ;D Any time is great, you can even show up unannounced! Or we can even meet up somewhere else! Just don’t leave me hanging ok??? >.<
I hope you and your family are doing well (or would you rather I say ‘unwell?’). Mine are as overbearing as ever. I hope your break is great (or should I say ‘ghastly’?), and to hear back from you soon!
A/N: Most of these “intermissions” will most likely be this letter format. If not a small short story, a little filler romp that takes place during the story at some unspecified point (just depends on how things pan out). Posting this early because I finished the rough draft of Ep 2. TT0TT Now I just gotta edit and write Ep 2’s intermissions….. 8U
Fun Fact: In the 60s show, Uncle Fester had a pen pal and had an episode revolving around it. It involved him fibbing in his letters. >:3c
