been reading deep space horror novels, and now i cant stop thinking about a bartkon yj AU where they’re a space salvage crew, and their latest scrap is a haunted space vessel. cassie’s captain and chief scraper. timbo’s pilot and the guy who finds the scraps. kon’s on comms and the direct connect to the broader space salvage network. bart’s ship engineer and architect and the one rearranging kon’s guts. jinny’s weaponsmaster and offboard navigator. they picked up kelli on their adventures, so she helps out by cooking, cleaning, and learning how to maintain a spaceship. their ship’s called red tornado who’s also the AI onboard. there is a demon on the haunted space vessel they’re scraping, and nobody’s going anywhere bc they’re greedy fucks who want their percentage of the scrap sales, but also they kinda love each other but space capitalism is hell. bart and kon absolutely have sex on the haunted space vessel. kon absolutely gets possessed. tim hallucinates boyfriend bernard who’s back on earth. cassie’s anxiety spikes and her panic attacks start to fuck up her judgement, and so on and so forth.
