In more ways than one James has been a living corpse since the day she was born. Always waiting, waiting, waiting — for the day the curse would be lifted. When she'd be dead and buried. Six feet under the ground.
Unfortunately despite all that James has found that was worth living for — dancing, strawberry milkshakes, bandaids with animal motives — the woman didn't have a choice in the matter. One day, sooner than later, she'd have to succumb to the cold hand of the grim reaper.
And yet, with the introduction to Steven Grant, next-door neighbour and fellow hopeless fool, James' life suddenly turned upside down. Drawn into the spiral of the mysteries surrounding the man's own conflicted existence, troubled and on the brink of insanity, so similar to her own, she couldn't resist.
Knowing the consequences of inter-human relationships, James couldn't get attached, not when she was living a life at death's door, handle warmed by her palm. No one should waste their time with someone who was born to die.
But Steven Grant's fate was tied to hers. So was Marc Spector's. So was Jake Lockley's. With Ammit's return looming on the horizon and the reencounter of an old foe, James finds herself engulfed in her ancestors' plight and before the woman realised she was digging her own grave.
But death was always one step ahead of her.

...𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: all elements of moon knight belong to marvel. i only own my character (james camden), certain story elements and graphics. the quote above that also inspires the work's title is by @srwpoetry.
...𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬*: explicit language, implicit sexual content, canon-typical violence, themes of chronic illness, themes of mental illness, mention of self-harming behaviours, passive suicide ideation, death.
...𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: never so quickly in my life did i get started on a fanfic and publish it. i entirely blame it on my full-fledged obsession with steven grant who ironically enough isn't even the love interest in this fanfic lmao. get pranked... i say to myself. waiting for jake lockley to make an appearance so i can judge if he is unhinged enough for my taste. if he is he'll be the main love interest, otherwise marc will be.
