I’m stealing the setting of @melonsharks 90’s cryptid hunter AU again, this time with a slightly more gory creature fight.

4: …where it hurts.

Benrey is utterly and unequivocally fucked.

They’ve been at Bubby and Coomer’s vacation cabin in the woods for two days, hunting after some rumored creature that Benrey didn’t pay attention to the debrief of. Since he’s currently in pieces in the trees half a mile from the cabin in the middle of the night, he probably should have. 

But it’s too late now - he’s hurting and bits of him keep falling off, but he has to keep moving, dragging himself through the dark, because the thing isn’t dead, and it’s still going after Gordon.

He sensed it the day before when Gordon was setting up his newest gadget. He was super excited about it, chattering about the infrared trigger and the type of film, and then he nicked his hand on a buckle as he strapped the boxy thing to a tree. 

Benrey’s used to smelling Gordon’s blood - he doesn’t like it, but the guy’s a klutz and it happens a lot, especially since they spend a lot of time wandering around rickety old buildings in the dark. But what Benrey is not used to is other things zeroing in on that blood scent, and he doesn’t like it. He especially doesn’t like that he can’t see the thing, no matter how many eyes he throws out. (Gordon had said it sounds like a ghoul, but Gordon also seemed very uncertain about that, and kept checking his notes.)

Now, Benrey’s struggling to claw together enough of a limb to drag himself forward, because the not-ghoul has just handed his ass to him on a paper plate. He knows he’s trailing toneless sweet voice, off-color hues dribbling from the jaws scattered across his form. He has to hold his breath to track the damn thing - he hurt it, too, but not as bad as it hurt him, and he still can’t see it.

Benrey closes all of his eyes to listen, then gathers himself and lunges for the nearest big tree. He slings several tendril-limbs around the trunk, the bark cutting into his form, but his claws sink into something that gives a raspy shriek and thrashes in his grip.

(I’m stealing the 90’s cryptid-hunting AU from @melonsharks for this because I got An Image in my head and had to run with it. There are over 2k words under the cut.)

23: …in relief

“Okay, this looks like the right spot,” Gordon murmurs. The old house is pitch dark even though the power’s still technically connected. Gordon says it’s more authentic to have the lights off when he’s hunting whatever creature of the night he’s heard rumors about that week.

“Why’s that?” Benrey’s got his hands in his pockets, because while he doesn’t know whatever Gordon thinks might be in here, Benrey knows it’s a wraith. He can feel its presence tingling on the back of his neck, and his fingers have already curled into claws in reflex. Wraiths are predators, and Benrey’s never been very good at being prey.

“Look at the readings,” Gordon says, tilting the screen of his current handheld machine toward Benrey, who bends his head obligingly to look. Sure enough, the little ticker arm is bouncing between the yellow and red on the right-hand side of the little colored arch behind the window, and it’s emitting a merry series of clicks and chirps.

“That’s…sure is some readings,” Benrey says. Gordon huffs and pulls the machine back.

“Just keep an eye out for anything weird,” he says, and moves carefully away across the creaky floor. Benrey rolls his eyes at him, even as he tightens his claws into fists.

its an au i dont have a lot down for but a while back i sketched this and then i colored it yesterday just to share with you, anon. theyre little refs for myself…

gordon is like actively a gay idiot who refuses to see benrey as anything other than an annoying hot guy (this is because benrey is so hot and gordon is gay.)

they dont want gordon to know they’re a powerful weird shapeshifting cryptid guy because um…the world is dangerous for things like benrey. even if gordon isnt really dangerous, just…passionate. benrey is like gaslighting gordon technically MDJHFFMJD but its all for comedy. they’re also in love with him btw.

benrey looks a little more human than i usually draw him but its on purpose. also gordon is in a tanktop because ummmmm. uhmnhm… i wont him.

AAAH gods this is so so kind thank you!!!! i love love love aus HSJDHDM i think about them SO much and i really do put a lot of love into them so it makes me happy other people can see it !!!

and about ghost / cryptid hunter au frenrey, well,
