Summary
(AU) Professor of Film Studies Adam Jones has to find an topic for his publish-or-perish book project, and what more attractive subject for him than a “lost” film which just happened to be directed by his best friend Maynard Keenan…except that Maynard is either missing or in hiding, and anyone who might know where he is (or what happened to the film) isn’t exactly forthcoming. Thus he must turn to the one person who is the least cooperative...Danny Carey: Maynard’s ex, co-author of the screenplay and a ritual magician who indulges his grudges (and has moved on with a gorgeous new boyfriend named Justin). Will Adam’s research become yet another piece of perilous lore associated with this seemingly cursed artifact?

Summary
Picture this if you will — Paul of Spokana comes from a family of magicians, though the ability has passed him by. No matter, though, for his father received in a vision that his son would be able to wield magic just the same, a gift granted by the mystical genie known as Jambi. The trouble is, though, that Paul must embark on the journey to find Jambi alone, with only the guitar on his back and a desire for change.
tldr: A fantasy AU in which Paul is the protagonist, making allies on his journey to gain magical abilities.

Summary
“It’s beautiful at night,” Maynard says, wistful as he gazes at the dark sky. “Don’t you think?”
“Yeah.” Danny sits across from Maynard and watches the sky. The night is a canvas of possibilities, each star in the clear desert sky a beacon guiding him towards a different fate. He wonders if that’s what brought Maynard here, too. Some dark thing he’s trying to outrun, or at least put in the rear-view long enough to breathe.

Not that celebration really means all that much to him. He’s told Danny over and over that it’s just another day on the calendar, so what if they miss it, but Danny knows Maynard’s secret romantic heart, the softness he hides even from himself.

After a sensational tenth anniversary tour, pop star Maynard's PR team urges him to reunite with his old bandmates for a special concert series in Los Angeles. With Adam and Paul already onboard, only Danny stands in the way of a full-fledged Tool reunion.

Danny's not exactly living his best life, though, so when Maynard offers Danny the cushy gig of acting as his bodyguard, it's a chance for them to reconnect and repair the past.
