A post for my little pet project GerryOliver au ft. Tim, Jon, Helen, Manuela, and a couple OCs.
Overall summary/premise: A world in which Oliver Banks meets Gerry Keay. A world in which the End and the Eye are hungry for new avatars and the Web pulls at strings.
Additional Tags: Oneshot, Web!Rosie, The End, The Web, The Beholding, Conversation, Reluctant Alliance
Summary: Rosie Zampano doesn’t consider herself an impatient person. That doesn’t stop her veins from freezing with frustrated anger when the Casualty waltzes into the Institute ten minutes later than scheduled, bleeding profusely from a gash at her hairline, and announces, "I’m here to make a statement!" with a ghoulish grin.
