Another thousand come and gone. Glad to be here for it.
This article has been a labor of love, chipped away at for years, and finally coming to this. I learned a lot during those years, and I'm thrilled to finally be able share this with all of you amazing people.
Here's to another decade and a half (give or take) of incredible stories.
Preferred SCP Numbers!
❖ 8100
❖ 8200
❖ 8300
❖ 8900
❖ 8999
If none of those are available, then the closest spot to 8000 that’s still open works fine.

SCP-8XXX — While You Were Dreaming I Was Turning The Sky
This culmination of more than three years of on and off writing holds significant value to me. My grandfather passed away a week after my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Words can't describe how difficult of a time it was for us. She slept through a lot of her treatment, and she dreamt. It was the same dream nearly every night of my grandfather and God in a high and mighty castle beyond the world itself; protecting her, healing her, watching over her. In the end, my mother won her battle with cancer, though it took a literal miracle. I can't help but think my grandfather may have had a hand in making that miracle happen.
I've thought about those dreams much since that time and pondered about that high and mighty castle. Maybe it looked something like this.
Halcyon-class anomalies constitute a critical part of reality in a way that is so innate or intimate to the structure of baseline reality that they are considered an almost innate part of it. Due to their role in maintaining normalcy, Halcyon SCPs are except from Foundation containment initiatives. Differentiated from superficially-similar esoteric classes such as Archon, Chhokmah, and Ticonderoga in that Halcyon anomalies are seen as virtually native to reality. Essentially one step over from non-anomalous.
