Gargoyles and Spirits

Description

On a dare, JR agrees to spend the night in an old cemetery located outside of the town he and and his best friend Aron live in.  But All Hallow's Eve is not the best of nights to wander in a graveyard where hungry spirits may seek what they have already lost.

Foreword

A fair distance outside of town, there is a cemetery that has been in existence for several hundred years.  No new graves have been added in some time.  It is maintained well enough during the day and otherwise avoided at night.  Not because there are any rumors exactly, but it's usually a good idea to leave the dead well enough alone.  Especially when the sun goes down.  Which is exactly why Aron challenged JR to spend the night when he insisted he wasn't afraid.

It is safe to say it wasn't one of his better ideas.


Written as a challenge fic, it also matches, rather belatedly, with the theme of Halloween in turn.  It is only a oneshot so please do not expect more at this time, though it could happen in the future.  Thank you!

Chapter 1: Haha the last spoken line still makes me laugh. "It was alright" my haha. I really love this story and for.so.many reasons: the inherent use of Halloween, the graveyard dare, the magic, and best of all the gargoyles. Such an underused creature!!! So thanks again for brining this story to life and sharing it with everyone ♡

I really liked this story, and felt sorry for JR, since he haf to sleep in a graveyard. Yikes!!! It's a damn good thing he wsd protected, since i know that I would have been able to sleep, either...It was also really mean of Aron to dare JR to sleep in a graveyard, and I am glad there were gargoyles to protect him from the ghosts and other evil things looking to prey on him. I would have been just as frightened and uneasy as JR, even though I don't belive in ghosts lol...This story was really nice, a smooth read, and the storyline was great. I really liked it♡.

Chapter 1: Okay I loved it. =D I knew that you would take the gargoyle idea and slay it! And of course, this ending leaves me wanting more. With Minhyun's promise to visit, I am dying to know what would happen if/when they did!
On to the story itself. I loved how you first painted the cemetery, the descriptions making it feel like I was really there. The mental commentary that JR had throughout left me laughing; you got the thoughts of a young man perfectly, I think. The mausoleum one was particularly funny, as was the first moment when he met Minhyun. That poor phone haha. I really liked how you combined a bit of comedy to lighten the situation while keeping with the mysterious, fantasy vibe. I have to admit, I totally was feeling the whole Gargoyles TV show while reading this! It was such a great feeling of nostalgia too, while simultaneously really wanting to ship JMin really badly. =D So I guess time will tell if you decide to continue this, and if not, this is a wonderful oneshot that left a big smile on my face. <3

Chapter 1: This wasn't the idea I thought it was to be honest. I though it was your angel and gargoyles idea. Either way I enjoyed this so much. I started laughing so hard when he brought up the weeping angels. Ironically enough new episodes of doctor who they have the cherubs as baby weeping angels. lol

I loved how it turned out. And being a gargoyle show lover this so reminded me of Goliath and Elisa. *My Feels!*

Chapter 1: I like it. It's lovely! I did start laughing when when JR was like "Don't be a weeping angel." That was great.
I do wonder how explaining what a weeping angel is went. sounds like a fun conversation lol.
Honestly this is an awesome one-shot. JR should just be happy it wasn't a weeping angel lol.
