Cayenne-Twilight’s fanfiction masterpost

Is 5 fics enough to make a masterpost? Absolutely not. Will I make a subject to change compilation anyways? Yes. All this is on AO3, but I also have a tag here on tumblr called #ct writes with all the same stuff + the ask of the person requesting it. All of them are oneshots with an average of 1,500 words.

Edit: the sixth one is an in-progress multi chapter fic that is not by request.

A Game for Fools

The Bostonius crew enjoys homemade apple pie and a nice game of Monopoly. Well, as nice as a game of Monopoly can be. (A fluffy comedy told from Aurora’s perspective with a slight touch of angst).

A Visit to Monte D’Or

Layton takes Flora to Monte D’Or for the first time. She wonders what sort of friends the Professor had as a teenager, and is just glad to be allowed on a trip for once. (The fic request was for interaction between Flora and Randall)

The Home That Always Was

Luke returns to London for a short holiday from uni. He reconnects with Flora, and they talk about their lives as students.

Can’t Stand the Rain

Waiting for the bus in harsh London weather, Dimitri and Clive make idle chatter concerning the earlier stages of their plan. Dimitri, having considered only his own wants and actions, realizes he doesn’t know Clive very well at all.

Professor Layton and the Haunted Tesco

Professor Layton receives a letter asking him to investigate the eerie paranormal activity that goes on at a local Tesco Express, but only under very specific conditions. Moderately pretentious and exceedingly British, this adventure will be inaccurately described by Luke as the most exciting one yet.

Running down the stairs Flora style is actually pretty fun has anyone tried this

[cayenne-twilight]

So does anyone remember any of the other hideous outfits from the Azran Legacy minigame or is Brenda’s the only one that’s relevant to the collective consciousness

[cayenne-twilight]

I saw this tweet and thought of them. Happy Luke Lunes

[cayenne-twilight]

Gaping crevasse leading into the abyss: waiter! More Randall Ascot please!

[cayenne-twilight]

I think a good fursona for Flora would be a praying mantis or some sort of beetle. Due to her Eyes, you see

[cayenne-twilight]

Just realized there are legal adults out there now who are younger than Curious Village. Being younger than the Nintendo DS is one thing, but younger than the Professor Layton series?

Something I never stop thinking about is how London is like the only real place in the Professor Layton universe.

In his travels around the world, Layton has visited many fantastical villages with their own little secrets, all of which are entirely made up. Robot town, hallucinogenic gas town, ice mummy town, human sacrifice cult town, vaguely middle eastern place, vaguely South American maybe jungle place, beach town, British (?) Las Vegas.

And beyond all this, America is in fact a real place, but the only towns there are the Wild West yeehaw village and steampunk city.

But yeah we got London with all its iconic real life landmarks. No steampunk doohickeys on the street, just normal cars. The Scotland Yard is here. Big Ben is real. Tower bridge is where it should be over the Thames. Incredible world building all around.

I saw this meme and this is genuinely what listening to the most recent NWOS trailer felt like

I don’t know how many of you guys watch Drawfee, but in this video they played a bunch of “wordle” type games including a guess-the-anime one, and this segment was frying me

This starts at 1:30:58

Jacob: can we do another one?

Karina: previous day?

Jacob: previous day.

Karina: *dying laughing*

Jacob: okayyy

Nathan: that’s a really good… image

Jacob: I don’t know who this is

Nathan: that’s Caldwell

Karina: that’s Caldwell

Nathan: Caldwell the anime

Jacob: no results

Nathan: Space Caldwell

Jacob: skip.

Jacob: …skip.

Jacob: is this like a Professor Layton?

Karina: that’s Laytonnn!

Nathan: the anime?

Jacob: and the eternal diva

Jacob: it’s not. This is Professor Layton, dude!

Karina: it must be the same like, fuckin shit as Professor Layton

Jacob: Layton.

Jacob: this is-

Karina: just keep guessing Layton!

Jacob: this is Layton!

Karina: *laughs*

Nathan: get all the- get all the Laytons out

Jacob: Lady Layton? You think it’s Lady Layton?

Karina: why would I know?!

Jacob: it’s Lady Layton.

Nathan: Lady Layton.

Karina: *laughing*

Jacob: there she is!

Nathan: Lady Layton!

Jacob: oh, and there’s Professor Layton! And there’s Lady Layton

Karina: ah!

Karina: *dying laughing*

Jacob: Colin or whatever his name is

Karina: is that Strange Luke?

Jacob: Strange Luke!

*both laughing*

Nathan: nice.

Oh LMDA anime you will always be famous. Kind of. When the first image popped up I had the same reaction as them but then I was like holy shit wait I know what this is

Get in the doohickey loser we’re going shopping

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is all well and good, but we could really use another wild crossover. It’s been over a decade since PL vs AA dropped. TIME FOR PL VS ZE.

Professor Layton in a killing game. It would fucking rock. The creepy atmospheric music has a hint of accordion. All your old friends who you hate will be there (Don Poalo, your dad). Flora disappears mysteriously in every route. Bad ending #4 is just a still of Luke with a chainsaw covered in blood.

Uchikoshi, hit me up.

[cayenne-twilight]

Since the cast of PLvAA was only the main characters of both franchises with a bunch of original characters, I propose PLvZE goes in a similar direction.

I need to see Layton and Akane in the same room immediately. They’d both be taking notes during their entire conversation.

Half the gameplay would be solving zero’s puzzles and the other half would be solving Layton’s, which would drive Junpei insane. “Junpei my boy, this puzzle with the dishware reminds me of one I once heard about a china cabinet-” *PL puzzle screen starts sliding up* “NO! Nooo for fucks sake professor, can we do this after we escape the dining room?” *the puzzle begins anyway and the song starts playing louder than usual*

Everyone would have so much fluff dialogue to say when you click on random objects it’d be great

Somehow Luke’s ability to talk to animals is explained by him subconsciously tapping into the morphogenetic field to communicate with them

[cayenne-twilight]

I just fell asleep and had the sleep disorder equivalent of a fever dream. Everything was super realistic, and there was other stuff happening, but I decided to check tumblr in the dream to make myself less anxious. The first thing I see is people posting about a new Layton trailer in which it was revealed that Desmond quit being Descole and Henry decided to take over. It was a 2D cutscene, and he was giving a speech in front of an army of minions, and the fandom was freaking tf out. This is huge you guys. I can’t believe Henry villain arc

Why is Processor Latent so mean to Fluorine

[cayenne-twilight]

^ Clive after his head injury during a prison visit with Luke

Why is Processor Latent so mean to Fluorine

[cayenne-twilight]

It just hit me today in the shower, after many long years, that Umid’s name is a pun on humid. Like if you say it with Luke’s accent. Because he lives in a town full of moss. Is this news to anyone else or am I stupid

[cayenne-twilight]

One of my fav gaming YouTubers recently started playing Curious Village after YEARSSSS of fans urging him to get into the series and yeah I kind of forgot how chill the story of that game is compared to everything that comes after. He said CV feels primarily like a puzzle game with a story just added in to tie it together which was kind of the original idea, but when I think back to Layton I’m like yeah, the games where each installment ends in major character death and everyone cries! But no they really do spend a long ass time chasing a runaway cat in the first game.
