TMA × OF MICE AND MEN AU I MADE TO SURVIVE EXAMS . READ PLEASE
OKOKOK giggles . Slim centric cause he's my favourite
Beholding Slim who desperately tries to keep the Fears OUTTT of the ranch and watch over the ranch with no competition . The people who keep tripping him up are Slaughter Curly and Lonely Crooks . But he tries and mostly manages .
Then this pretty boy and his Desolation fucker pull up one day , the SAME month Curly marries a Stranger aligned chick. so . Not fun. but he can handle it . especially because this Desolation guy , Lennie , literally means no harm . Even if he's dangerous . He gets spooked when Lennie crushes Curley's hand because. Fear conflict is not good. He tries and tries but the problem keeps rearing it's head until Curley's wife's death . Which . He definitely should feel shit about . but it's also two birds with one stone . stuff unfair to George .
Unnntillll the Stranger and Desolation does what it does best . Ruin every . Curley's Wife and Lennie are back . Curley's Wife remembers what happened , Lennie doesn't . The careful balance Slim maintained fully collapsed
Curley's Wife can't remember her name , and Curly forbids anyone from telling her , not that anyone else knew it , convinced she's some demon and her lack of name is keeping her "under his command" which is bullshit but what can Slim do? Just Watch, like he's always done . Even as everyone's freaking out , he Watches .
And then Crooks decides what a lovely time to get lost in the fog and he has to pull him out! Which means everyone knows Slim knows something . and he has to tell them about the world they never should've known about , the place he'd preserved , his own corner if the earth .
Hmm
I'm planning somewhere down the line Slim has to claim the ranch as his domain to keep entities out and that solidifies the whole Supernatural is a real , harnesable thing and that's when people start panicking in earnest
