Summary
my piece for Through the Static: A TAZ Balance Zine
------
“You called me?” Angus’s voice was dry.
Taako nearly toppled off the stool with a scream that could have woken the dead, clutching his chest with overdone theatrics. “Sweet Gods, kid! Don’t sneak up on me like that!”
“I didn’t sneak,” Angus pointed out, “you called me.”
Taako waved it off with a dismissive flick. “Okay, okay. You got me there… anyway, listen up, Mango. We need a favor. From you.”
Angus raised an eyebrow. “A favor?”
“You’ve got it,” the elf leapt down into Kravitz’s arms, never breaking sweat, “all you have to do is keep Merle’s little gremlins occupied. Easy peasy, yeah?” Taako smirked, leaning against the counter.
Angus frowned. “The Highchurch kids?”
“Yeah. Mavis and... uh...” Taako snapped his fingers, looking at Kravitz for help.
“Mookie,” Kravitz offered, unphased.
“Right, right, Mookie! They’re sweet. Barely feral,” Taako said with a shrug. “You’ll be fine.”---
in which Angus has to grapple with being unseen at times, and then cherished. OR how Angus McDonald makes friends his own age<3

Summary

Summary
When Angus meets 3 unusual strangers on the train, he goes from suspecting them to trusting them with a speed that surprised even him. He isn't sure what it is about them, but their humor, enthusiasm, and overall strangeness is just... fun. It isn't long before he's inviting them to take an even bigger part of the case than he'd expected.
When they part ways he is expecting them to be nothing more than a fond memory he will occasionally chuckle at, but then they run into each other again. And again. And again.
Angus wouldn't usually mind (after all, he likes these guys), but it's really frustrating when half of their words are just static.
OR
What started as a retelling of the Rockport Limited from Angus's POV turned into an experiment to see what would happen if Angus was never inoculated, but kept popping up to help with the relic hunt anyway.

Summary
For as long as Angus knew it had always been him and his Dad, until one day a blonde elf with a problem with being overdramatic ruins that dynamic. As much as he dislikes his Dads new partner he knows that he makes him happy, so he had to deal with it.
No-one said he couldn't cause a little chaos during that process though.
------
An au I made where Angus doesn't like the idea of Taako being his possible new Dad and so causes a bunch of chaos because he can.
Title inspired by a song from the Beetlejuice musical.(currently on-hold)

Summary
After he had split ways with Sazed, all those years ago, Taako had gotten low on cash and "donated" some of his blood to a clinic that bought and sold "magical" blood. Since he was an elf, he was in and out in less than a half-hour, out of a pint of blood but fifty gold richer.
He never thought he'd run into the darker side of the blood trade years later.(TL;DR Taako and Angus go out to the town on magic day and get surprised by blood hunters. Everyone worries about Taako, especially Angus. Yeah. This is basically Taako angst I don't know what else to tell you. I'll probably rename later.)

Summary
Angus had always been curious.
Ever since he was born, he had a burning sense of curiosity that drove him to find all the answers to everything. It’s partly why he is such a good detective. He doesn't stop until all of the pieces of the mystery are completed and laid out in front of him. People may call him nosy, but he just wants to understand. That's the way Angus has always been, and that's the way Angus always will be.
So it really wasn't his fault when he started to notice things about Magnus.-------------------------------------------------------------
Basically Angus tries to figure out Magnus' past in an attempt to understand and help him become happier. Cue him finding out about Raven's Roost, Governor Kalen, and most importantly, Julia. -

Summary
Taako leaned closer to the mirror and wiped some smudged lipstick off of his face.
“I’m just saying man, it’s kinda spooky that Cam just. Disappeared a week before camp started, y’know?” He wiggled his eyebrows at Magnus in the mirror. “Maybe he was eaten by wolves.”
Magnus rolled his eyes and leaned back against the wall. “He probably got freaked out by your stupid ‘Giant, man-eating jellyfish in the lake’ story and ditched.”
Taako snorted, then nodded. “Fair enough. I always do a great performance with that one.” He spun around to face Magnus and wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. “Poor Merle! He was never seen again. Sometimes I can still hear his screams.”
There was a crash from somewhere in the mess hall and then a distant shout of “STOP TELLING EVERYONE I’M DEAD.”
The two laughed as Magnus started to open the bathroom door. “We should probably get out there. The campers should be arriving soon.”OR
Angus is sent to summer camp in hopes of getting his nose out of mystery books, but finds himself in the middle of the biggest mystery in camp history.
