Oh his ass would LOVE Fight Club.

[irishcoyote]

I think I'm even more obsessed with Angel Face now that I know that he's literally just a teenager.

He doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand the potential consequences.

How lonely was he, that he was willing to leave everything behind and help someone who wanted to destroy the world?

I'm about to deep dive I swear

Maiko Week 2022: Day 2, spies/enemies

For May Maiko Week 2022 from @idonthatemaiko

“Azula, this is dumb,” Ty Lee whined, flinging herself backward onto the ground. Azula sat behind her on a small cushion, filing her fingernails.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Ty,” Azula replied without looking up. “We’re gathering important intelligence.”

“It’s just Zuko and Mai! They’re just having a picnic. Why would that matter?”

Azula sighed and put her nail file away. “Because, Ty Lee,” she said. “That’s not just Zuko and Mai. It’s the future Fire Lord and Fire Lady. Are you telling me you don’t see the value in knowing their plans for their rule? When else would they talk about such things, if not while they think they’re alone?”

Ty Lee turned to peer through the brush again, her eyes refocusing on the couple.

“I don’t know, Azula, they seem pretty preoccupied.”

Azula shoved Ty Lee away from the brush and knelt to see for herself. Since she had last looked, Mai and Zuko had finished their picnic and were now kissing. As she watched, Zuko began to guide Mai to the ground, her hands tugging at his shirt.

Azula stumbled away from the bush and shook her head as if trying to dislodge the sight from her memory. 

“Let’s go home, Ty Lee,” she mumbled. Ty Lee giggled and followed Azula back to the palace.

Hi so i had a dream where a LOT of wild comic book shit went down but i remember at some point in the dream fracture!tim was in a face off against the bats bc he was hiding a bad injury but suddenly dr!tim shows up and fracture!tim is like ‘yes a multiverse me, he will so totes be ok my side’ and dr!tim just straight up slaps the injury to make red stop faking and basically forces him into being treated and hes just ‘w o w. In my own house. by my own self. betrayed’

Babe.

I love, LOVE, that you’re dreaming about Fracture!Tim because I’m fucking dying here. YAAASSSSS.

But it just gets so much better because Dr!Tim will literally take no shit even from himself and just pull out his bat-a-thing and go to town sewing his mulit-verse self up because if there’s one thing he hates, it’s bleeding vigilantes.

“So when the hell did you intend to tell everyone you are, you know, lacking a spleen?”

Red has a moment of oh shit when a still-cowled head visibly perks.

“Keep it down,” he hisses, already divested of his cape, dom, boots and glove/gauntlet combo, “it’s not–”

“It is,” his shorter counterpart sneers out, giving absolutely no shits about the members of the Batfamily scattered around the Cave suddenly very attentive, “you’re not a dumbass, so you know the complication you’re risking with asplenia. I don’t have to tell you about shit like septic shock that can very easily fucking kill you–”

“You are not helping. At all.” 

“Who the fuck is stitching you up right now, asshole?”

Red grits his teeth a little and finally reaches out for the sleeve of Dr. Drake’s scrub top, pulling enough to move the physician closer and lean up so some nosy fuckers can tell this is an A, B conversation, C your way out.

He keeps it low, drawing the doctor’s eyes, a brow quirking up and a mask covering the lower half of his face. “However it is in your world…that isn’t the way it is here, okay? I don’t…this isn’t my place anymore. It’s been two years and it’s fine, okay? I’m good. I just need to get the fuck out of here. The faster, the better.”

The doctor gives him a long, slow blink. The same dark eyes he sees in the mirror every morning slide over to where N and Hood are working on the big computer and then the other side where B is running an analysis on the evidence found on site when Dr. Drake suddenly appeared.

The tension in the Cave is at an all-time high, and the good doctor is pretty sure it has nothing to do with him.

Which makes him sigh down at his vilgilante (Robin…fuck, he was the real Robin…) multi-verse self and shake his head before he goes back to the gnarly gash that ripped open Red Robin’s suit at the abdomen.

“I thought you were a detective?”

“So are you, apparently, nice job spotting the residue left behind from the time portal.”

“…I have other hobbies.”

“Interesting. So sleuthing is one of them?”

“I wouldn’t say that. I’m more into the investigative research.” You know, like three Batfam members completely eavesdropping. “And for the record, I think you’re a dumb ass.”

“Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment coming from a neurosurgeon with hobbies.”

“Dating hot vigilantes is only one of them. If you’ve never tried acrobatic BDSM sex, then I highly recommend it. My Nightwing is entirely flexible enough to make that shit incredible.”

And it’s possible he suddenly goes light-headed because the rest of the blood still in his body goes right to his face.

Behind his surgical mask, Dr. Drake is grinning maniacally. “I mean, not that my Hood is a slouch. Not by any stretch of the imagination–”

“Please, please stop talking,” Red groans and the burn of the stitches finally, finally eases down.

“I’m just saying, that you? Are looking right at the evidence and you still don’t see it.” Dr. Drake slathers some of Alfred’s healing goop over the neat stitches and tapes a gauze pad securely down before pulling down his mask to below his chin and peeling the bloody gloves off. 

Red grits his teeth again, forcing himself to sit up and prod gingerly at the gauze pad. “I’ll let you know when I’m presented with other evidence. Thanks for patching me up. How about we do something constructive with our time and get a portal built?” Because Red is already moving to snap on his discarded utility belt, fish a dom out and slap it in place so he can be looking out through the whiteouts and completely ignore N’s slack-jawed stare and Hood’s abrupt stillness. The rest of his suit is on in a flash because really, it’s time to GTFO.

“Lucky for you, mechanical engineering is just–” And Dr. Drake follows Red Robin away from the medical bay and down to the lower lot where the Ducati is waiting.

“Let me venture a guess…”

The two laugh a little as Red takes a spare helmet and hands it off.

“I’m going to need your expertise to program the portal,” B is already starting after them, cape a mesmerising swish as he moves.

“I can do that at the Perch,” Red throws his leg quickly over the Ducati, grabbing the doctor’s wrist to tug him on, “and really, B, I appreciate the pick-up, but I’ve got this.”

“Timmy!” Because Dick already feels the ache in his chest from Tim walking away from them (again) and is up from the computer to move across the floor while Hood paces him, “don’t go! Just–! Stay.”

But the engine purrs to life and Dr. Drake throws himself on the back of the bike, shuffling around the cape to get a firm grip. Red Robin throws up a departing hand before they take off down the ramp and out into the night, on their way to the Perch to calculate traversing time/space.

(And if the doctor gives him more details, well…that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?)

The Timeline of FICL

Things will be proceeding more-or-less according to the canon timeline, but since there is some ambiguity about when things happened I made some executive decisions. There are some timeline differences between different versions, so assume that the version listed here is the one that is canon to FICL's timeline. I will update this as the fic progresses. The Pokémon Snap games are included due to their relevance to Xerneas's lore and include some filling in the blanks on my part where their lore left questions unanswered.

~ 1000 BC - AZ builds and uses the Ultimate Weapon in Kalos, resulting in Xerneas and Yveltal's power radiating across the region and infusing Evolution stones to create Mega Stones and the transmutation of Infinity Energy (pokémon life force) into Mega Energy. The Darkest Day occurs in Galar. The city which will become the Abyssal Ruins is built by King Harmonia in Unova.

~ 0 AD - Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre battle in Hoenn over the overflowing "natural energy" that is present in the world. A shower of meteorites with "rainbow light" attracts Rayquaza, who stops the battle.

~ 1000 - The Tellur Meteor threatens the Lental Region. Xerneas protects the region with a barrier, suffusing the region with Infinity Energy and causing the Illumina phenomenon and the crystal formations associated with it. In Hoenn a great meteor shower is seen and a gigantic meteoroid strikes the earth, creating the crater where Sootopolis City would later be built. The meteor strike causes "natural energy" to emerge from "cracks in the earth", and Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre once again battle. The meteoroid that made the crater shines as a Key Stone and Rayquaza descends once again and uses the Key Stone to mega evolve and stop Groudon and Kyogre's battle.

1909 - Ingo appears in Hisui

1912 - Galaxy Team establishes Jubilife Village

1914 - Events of Legends Arceus. Corresponds to the Taisho period for reasons I'll elaborate on in another post (NOT the Meiji Restoration as stated on Bulbapedia)

1921 - The dormant Xerneas is found in the Lental region and moved to the Kalos region. Captain Vince records the Illumina phenomenon during his expedition in the Lental region

1995 - Events of Yellow and Emerald (blended with the Mega Evolution elements of Ruby). A meteor threatening Hoenn is stopped by Mega Rayquaza, and revealed to contain Deoxys. Devon Corporation has developed technology that incorporates Infinity Energy

1998 - Events of Soul Silver (main game) and Platinum

1999 - Sinjoh Ruins event in Soul Silver, events of Pokémon Snap

2011 - Events of Black

2013 - Events of Black 2 and X

2015 - Sun and Ultra Moon (a blend of the two games with two protagonists), Teddy arrives in Lumiose (Chapter 1)

2016 - Events of Sword, Ultra Beasts sighted in Crown Tundra, first Rogue Mega appears in Lumiose

2017 - Events of Scarlet and Violet (BOTH of the professors were Arwen's parents)

2018 - Events of ZA, Xerneas and Yveltal appear in Lumiose

2021 - Events of New Pokémon Snap, Xerneas is found dormant in the Lental region
