Fics like Long Afloat (On Shipless Oceans)

The day Tom vanished, it was the 6th of December, 1973, and a Thursday. Aunt Polly wanted to go Christmas shopping while he, Sid and Mary were out of the house, and Sid had to stay after school for chess club. Their plans hadn’t fallen through, because it wasn’t until evening that realization took hold and panic began to set in. By dusk, Aunt Polly sat like a stone in her lounge chair after having dialed the police, eyes swimming with tears she could no longer fight off; the presents she’d stowed away in her bedroom closet all but forgotten. Sid and Mary crept out from their beds and watched silently from the landing, drowning in her bottomless eyes and letting the terrifying reality seep in: Their aunt, their anchor, washed in the faint glow of the lamp, had stopped telling herself sweet lies that kisses and punishment alike awaited Tom as soon as he walked through the front door. She had gotten the authorities involved. *** An AU based off of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones.
