A rewrite of my older fic of the same name. I just couldn't go back to the way I used to write, and I'm SO much more satisfied with how this has turned out. Same idea as the 1st version, though more fleshed out and less focus on romantic subplot. Summary inside because it wouldn't fit here.

Murdoc should've known 2D would notice the missing pill bottle. Even if it was mostly empty, hidden inside his Winnebago, and taken from a large assortment of similar-looking bottles. Or an absolutely ridiculous oneshot younger me thought up a long time ago. Warning: drugs and swearing.

When the gears are set in motion. The story behind Allen Hale's hatred of George Maxwell and how his actions affect others and spawn the events of the game. Revenge is such a silly thing. Swearing and some violence, but not till later on.

Maybe he should just get over it. He can't. Maybe he should be worrying over other, more important matters. He isn't. Maybe he should have just forgotten about the whole ordeal. He didn't. Maybe he should be thankful, because he is still alive. He's not. Maybe these horrid nightmares and gruesome images would go away on their own. They won't stop coming. Pre-series. Mild swearing.

Shiki can't whistle. After a comment made by Mr. H, Beat actually figuring something out, and a trip to Udagawa Neku decides to teach her. Soon after they decide to start a relationship. How well will that turn out? Rated T simply because I was unsure whether or not kissing was considered an adult theme.

2D has finally had it. He's sick of Murdoc, sick of his life, sick of fame, and sick of himself. All this built up anger drives the singer to do something regrettable. One shot. WARNING: suicide attempt and substance abuse.
