Series: Not Ready to Swallow Oblivion.

This is a long exploration of what people do when all of their choices suck.

Intent on Its Angles - T rating. 7 chapters. 33044 words. Covers Homecoming (29 October 2005) through the end of the year. This is a separate, happier branch than the rest with the implicit ending of 'and then they all got lots and lots of therapy.'

Would Feed on Ashes - T to M rating. 5 chapters. 13161 words. Branches from "Intent on Its Angles" on 3 December 2005 (at the end of the chapter titled "Brave at the Shore") and goes in a darker direction. Covers December 2005 to January 2006.

Drilled Through Empty Spaces - M rating. 8 chapters. 25138 words. Follows "Would Feed on Ashes," picking up in February 2006 and ending in fall 2008. Non-explicit underage (all participants) dub-con, mostly just mentioned, but one chapter goes as far as two teens with their shirts off. Murder. Really, really unreliable narrators.

From the Chalice of Their Common Need - T rating. 4 chapters. 11591 words. What was happening elsewhere during events of "Would Feed on Ashes" and "Drilled Through Empty Spaces." Covers July 2006 through October 2006 with parts looking back from much later on (but probably not anything after "Who Have Waited for Water").

Who Have Waited for Water - T rating. 3 chapters. 11499 words. Starts and ends approximately 6 years after Homecoming.

Locked with a Twisted Key - M rating. Complete in one chapter. 4641 words. Diverges during "Who Have Waited for Water" in as much as Layla's father never visits Sky High. Set about 12 years after Homecoming. References to and discussion of offscreen rape.

A Ladder of Driftwood - T rating. 3414 words. Diverges between "From the Chalice of Their Common Need" and "Who Have Waited for Water." Set between four and five years after Homecoming. Will and Warren talking in a dingy hotel room.

You Cannot Fold a Flood - E rated. This one is full of potentially triggery things. I mean every tag and warning in the author's notes. 7 chapters and 22524 words. In the same branch as "Locked with a Twisted Key" but explicit about what happens with Warren. Set about twelve years after Homecoming.

Clearing the Soil of Stones - M rated. 3475 words. Warren POV. Set about one year after "You Cannot Fold a Flood." Nothing explicitly violent or sexual. There's a baby and care for said baby in the text.
