wanna hear a ghost story? by prydon

(read on ao3)

Private Eye Juno Steel has left the bustling city to visit a quiet town tucked away in the mountains—but he’s not here to relax. He’s here to discover the truth behind a string of murders and disappearances happening in the area. Haunted by the image of his dead mother and with the fallout from a failed case weighing on his conscience, he’s determined to repair his reputation by catching the murderer before they can claim another victim.

But why does he keep waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone screaming? Why do the townspeople keep talking about ghosts? And what does the mysterious, handsome man who rents the room below his have to do with any of this?

drawing of kim kitsuragi squinting at a sheaf of paper that he’s holding at arm’s length. his glasses are pushed up onto his forehead. jean is walking by in the background, looking at how far away kim is holding the papers.ALT
continued. three panels. Jean asks “Lieutenant?” and Kim acknowledges him, “Vicquemare.” next panel is Jean wordlessly tapping the top of his own head while looking pointedly at Kim. final panel, Kim pulls his glasses down in front of his eyes and holds the papers closer to himself. in the background jean continues walking by, sighing. kim’s ears are shaded with a blush.ALT

no one saw that. least of all the lieutenant.

being able to make something longform comes with accepting that you are not going to be happy with a lot of what you make initially… it will grow on you, you will forget the original expectations. or you will learn and remake it. just forgive it because at least it exists and allows itself to be prodded in an actual capacity now

at the risk of being cringe with everything going on — this week, the last six months, the past five years — i keep thinking about that one quote from the great gatsby

“they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

it’s just every day now, huh.
