Halloween Release Preview!

Gummy Bat Wings: can be affixed to small objects (or large ones, if you buy in bulk) to grant limited flying abilities*
*not liable for belongings or people lost during gummy-powered flights

Wax Fangs: always wanted to indulge in the fun of vampirism but unwilling to commit to an eternity of blood drinking and brooding? Our wax fangs are functional (please get the consent of your bite partners), and they contain a chemical concoction that will convert any blood into a tasty, human-safe treat.

Lightning Bolts: for those who are powered or enhanced by exposure to electricity, enjoy a sour lemon lightning bolt that has a trapped electrical current center, great as a snack when you're too far from your lab's power grid or the lightning rod at the top of your ominously crumbling tower

Reminder: We will be open Halloween night for trick-or-treating. No age limits. Costumes required. Nut-free and non-food options available. Tricks, pranks, and scares also available on an unpredictable basis (not from us, just from the creatures living in the stock room).

Summary:

A collection of short fic for the 2023 whumptober challenge.

It's that time of year again! And after falling briefly behind, I'm now caught up on the first week. So far, it is all Stranger Things, all the time. The brainrot is real, friends. I didn't plan it this way, but then, I don't plan this at all.

Much more focused on emotional whump this year, as compared to last. It's just, well, canon already beats the everloving shit out of Steve. Feels like that base is kind of covered. But I want to make that man so sad. Just the saddest poofy-haired puppy ever.
