Deep In Pact is Elliot and Reuben’s second podcast. On the 5th anniversary of each chapter of Wildbow’s web serial Pact, we do a deep dive into the chapter, analysing and recapping Wildbow’s most underappreciated story. Join us for a celebration of the dark world of Pact, as Reuben re-experiences Blake’s journey, and Elliot is horrified by it for the first time.
