Call Down the Hawk

Noice here's my own sillier versions:

Call Down The Hawk:

Spoiler

Angry Catholic trashes his boyfriend's- the bisexual forest witch- Harvard dorm (on accident) and then repeatedly follows the advice of a voice he hears in his dreams. he only finds out everything the voice was saying was correct after he's already done what it says (against the wishes of his older brother and Forest Witch). Nice lady and weird kid try to hunt and kill him.

Mister Impossible

Spoiler

Angry Catholic, the incarnation of the voice in his head, and a slightly deranged artist go on epic east coast road trip, bashing bad guys (and friends of Nice Lady who has replaced Weird Kid with Nice Old Lady) and committing eco-terrorism (which begs the question: who are the real bad guys?). Angry Catholic finds out the incarnation of the voice in his head actually came from his head, falls asleep in shock (actually falls asleep cause Deranged Artist shut off all the magic he was relying on to be awake). Also he hangs up on Forest Witch which is rude AF and Adam did not deserve that. meanwhile his older brother falls in love with Deranged Artist's twin and his younger brother has an identity crisis.

Greywaren

Spoiler

Nice Lady's gf dies. very sad. Nice Lady's brother who she thought was dead and is a deranged murderer and serial killer decides he's gonna murder everyone who can't take stuff out of their dreams, so he kidnaps Forest Witch and also Angry Catholic's older brother's girlfriend (Deranged Artist's twin, remember?) and tries to make a bomb, but he can't since Deranged Artist shut down the magic, so he gets Angry Catholic to wake up and open it and they have an epic dream battle in which Angry Catholic has to choose between his saving his boyfriend and saving the world and he saves the world but becomes even more angry till he wakes up and sees that Deranged Artist saved Forest Witch for him.

FOUR YEARS LATER

Older Brother and Deranged Lady's Twin have a wedding. Angry Catholic and Forest Witch's old friend Rich Guy shows up and proposes to each of them for the other (classic gansy). Fans are very happy. the end.

A guy with a knack for building buildings that collapse

In his defense, Nathaniel told the foreman that they needed saltwater for the cement or the building wouldn't work. The foreman didn't get saltwater for the cement, and the building didn't work. It's clearly the foreman's fault, not Nathaniel's.

Your post is super cool tho. Thank you, it was quite funny.

There's a 9-month spoiler period in which everything related to new releases must be put in the spoiler zone. Spoiler boxes don't cut it \_(o_o)_/.
