In your fic God of the Machine (the original, non spin-off one) things end horrifyingly of course (existentialist dread, woo) even post Anna's first death they uh go downhill (cheers to the sanity lost along the way!) but it was very interesting how it got to that point and easy to read. Anna's main successful change of the timeline I gather was what directly lead to her own death (... congratulations on proving how significant an impact it was) and that of most of the task force's it seems, but does Light survive it since I think it was orchestrated by Misa? My other question is if Light was aware that Misa would kill Anna that way, as in was it his plan or at least a plan he agreed was worth the sacrifice?
My other question is what on earth Non-Amnesiac Light would have thought of Amnesiac-Light's actions in the fic (both times around) if/when he'd regained the notebook?
If they're questions you're willing to answer I'd be delighted to know what your thoughts are on them, they've lingered in my brain in any case post-reading the fic.
I thoroughly believe Anna deserved better even in the alternate L's room lifetime but the tone was consistent so at least didn't expect it. Some of the alternate Light and Anna timelines were almost cheery at least (which was fun to read, they're both very well-written characters).
God of the Machine
I mean, that timeline no longer exists anymore, that's the thing. No one survives in it because it's scrapped, kaput, done. But yes, Light was going to survive there as Misa had orchestrated it. As for Light, even for "everything goes according to plan" no, he didn't foresee it going that sideways as he envisioned more or less the Yotsuba Arc where he'd have an opportunity to regain the Death Note and Misa would wait for him to make a move. He hadn't realized Amnesiac Light would be fucking useless and not remember why he was doing the things he was doing.
Light would have been quite frustrated at himself for not balancing Misa, L, and Anna the way he needed to. He hadn't realized he'd forget that much, or that his amnesiac self would have to rationalize what he'd been doing with such large gaps in his memory that his relationships became completely convoluted. He didn't see himself becoming the weak link which was the whole problem.
As for Anna deserving better... Well, yes, but that's what the fic is about really, terrible things happening and being in this horrible situation where you try to get out and more terrible things happen. Just when you deal with Light being able to discretely kill you for nothing at all, L comes around and you're imprisoned and might be left to die if Light doesn't save your bacon.
But glad you liked the fic so much!
A Lovely Day for a Funeral pt. 1
(takes place during the funeral of Henry and Martha Ravenswood, so have some angst, also yes, Jasper x Henry is implied in this story because at this point this ship is my life :P also this is part one because it a long writing and tumblr won’t let me post all of it in one post)
The sun struggled to shine through the thick gray clouds that covered Thunder Mesa. Tragedy had just struck. A terrible Earthquake had just happened and boot hill had never been this full ever. Families and friends grieved next to their loved ones' graves. Including the last of the Ravenswoods. Henry and Martha Ravenswood were sadly taken from this world due to the Earthquake, although Martha just died a couple days ago due to the loss of her husband. Many suspect that Henry is responsible for what just happened and many remember the natives nearby warning him of a giant thunderbird spirit that calls the mountain home, and will destroy whoever comes close to it. Henry never listened and still instructed the miners to mine deeper into the mountain and now the curse had struck. He had dug too deep into the mountain, and now it has cost him his life and his wife. Outside the manor on boot hill, two graves have been dug near the manor. They have not been fully covered and the marble lids for the couple have not been placed yet for Melanie wanted to say goodbye one last time to her parents before burying them. Next to her, his hands rested on her shoulders in a comforting manner, was her lover Jake Lockheart, and behind the couple was the butler and maid of the household Jasper and Anna Jones. Anna, Jasper and Jake all had umbrella’s, Jake holding his over both him and Melanie as a small store began over Thunder Mesa. Jasper and Anna gave Jake a dirty glare but both knew better than to start a fight right now, so they stayed silent, knowing Melanie is already devastated as is. After a while Jake whispered something to Melanie, neither of the Jones heard him. Melanie nodded her head and quietly sobbed into his chest as they made their way back to the manor. Ann and Jasper knew Henry wouldn’t want them to leave her alone with him, but they decided to stay to say goodbye to not only their master, but to their dear friend who saved their lives in the very beginning. Anna and Jasper didn’t say a word as they stood over the couple's graves before Jasper looked up to J. Nutterville and nodded his head, Jasper then pulled something, a small box wrapped in a bow, and threw it down onto Henry’s grave before following it with a small rose. Anna looked at her brother and gave him a small smile before grabbing his hand and giving it a comforting squeeze. “We should probably head back. Henry wouldn’t want us to be here mourning all day, besides the house needs to be fixed up.” Jasper remained silent before quietly speaking, “I’ll be there soon, just give me five more minutes.” Anna’s smile disappeared, but she didn’t fight him and went back to the manor. Jasper watched as Ravenswood’s couple were buried and as the marble lids that were made for them were placed on them. As J. Nutterville left, Jasper then started to silently break down. Now that he was alone he finally felt free to let all of his emotions out. He wanted to scream, but remained quiet as he silently sob into his hands. He got down slowly, for his knees started to feel weak, and leaned against Henry’s grave. He continued to sob into Henry’s grave before finally calming down, “I still can’t believe you're gone. After everything. If only you had just listened to us when we tried to stop you…then none of this would have happened.” He quietly said to himself as he laid on Henry’s grave. “If only…”
One of the best things about the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is that it made Anna Jones into an actual character. Her presence haunts the narrative in Last Crusade, but she is not an actual character and as far as she exists in the movie it is to be a part of the father/son conflict.
I do appreciate seeing her and her relationship with Indy and Henry, and also how the show focuses on how she and Indy were similar and what kind of influence she had on him, too.

“Hold on tight,” She whispered as she wrapped her son's small fingers over the glass figure. “One day it’ll be your child putting the angel atop the tree, and we’ll all laugh at how foolish your father was to ever think you’d break it.”
