Larger than any creature can be while still following the laws of nature.

And yet... It is only in humanity's nature to imagine what something even greater would be like.

Notes:
Loudest and Greatest was originally posted as a standalone fic in 2022/03/21. Back then, I didn't really organize OtSoT into thematic anthologies, so for a while it was one of my longest oneshots. On top of that, it also featured an original Kaiju created by myself and my good friend LondonBot, inspired by the theories around the BLOOP sound recorded in 1997.

Because of both of these factors, I am very fond of this story, so I felt that it was worth re-editing and updating to bring it up to my current quality standards and lore cohesion.
Hopefully, the read will be fun for both those who read the original and newer readers!

The bald man suddenly rose from his seat, and he walked toward Xander in his billowing black suit. "Ah! Wednesday's young man. My niece speaks of you in her own special way, through meaningful silences and the occasional grunt that might be approval."

"Yeah, nice to meet you too…" Fester seized Xander's hand in a vice-like grip, pumping it up and down eagerly. Xander's smile faltered, becoming frozen somewhere between politeness and panic. While Wednesday's black eyes stared with reserved indifference, Fester's eyes danced with manic energy, hinting at mischief.

Fester's grin vanished as he leaned closer to Xander, lips inches from the boy's ear. His voice dropped to a ghastly whisper. "Break her heart, I'll eat yours." He stepped back, expression frozen in menace, letting the threat linger for a second longer. Then he broke into a wheezing laugh, slapping his shoulder. "I kid!"

Xander attempted a chuckle, but the sound he produced was thin and strained, betraying his nerves as he struggled for breath.
