Fics like Coward's Lament

A longish serial set during the 1980s featuring movies and shows both produced during that decade, and more recent works set during the 80s. It follows Norville "Shaggy" Rogers as he tries to run from his pain and trauma. Anticipate a dark slow-burn with some light moments, just a touch of steam, and a massive web of crossovers from media both popular and obscure, including later-produced shows set during the 80s. Feedback is encouraged.
