so excited to write my nice guys fic cause it has the dumbest, most holland march-esque plot ever including a holly march who has immediately figured out that her dad and healy are in love, and when self-denying march (after 20 bullshit excuses to hang around healy including buying him a fish) is trying to recruit his 12 year old daughter to go ask healy round to dinner she's like im not doing this and shows up at healy's door like my dad likes you. do something about it. and healy's like why do i have to do something. to which holly is like its my dad and healy's like that's fair. and then holly realises he didn't deny it and she's like you like my dad? because healy liking her dad back means maybe this fragile hope of having someone solid and competent around, who gets her dad to stop drinking and drives the car to school for her can be realised. and then in the most judgemental tone ever she's like wait. you like my dad. and healy feeling suddenly embarrassed is just like alright i'm not exactly proud of myself either kid
Meet Natalia and her little son Sasha!
In The Deck AU Natasha is the queens' summoner who got her magic cards from the Old Fortuneteller 2 years prior to Fёdor. She was given 5 of them - 4 queens and the Red joker - because Natalia desperately needed help and the old woman pitied her. You can learn more about Natasha's life and how she got the cards in the new fanfic for TDAU:
"Go Fish!" by @therealmagicdog
Important lore and info under the cut⬇️⬇️⬇️
"Go Fish!" and the queens' storyline in TDAU in general is the TRMD's domain. Originally we both agreed that Fёdor won't have the queens' cards but we had different ideas of where these actually end up being. I had my own concept but when TRMD introduced Natasha to me I dropped everything and immediately made it canon to the AU because I just liked it so much. Important note: despite officially being canon to the AU, this storyline wont's appear in the TDAU comic. It's a spin-off sorts.
A little bit of lore:
As I mentioned earlier, Natalia got her cards 2 years prior to Fёdor and in a very small number - it's only 5 cards. It seemed weird to her but she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, she got them for free so no complains.
On the other hand, Fёdor was really puzzled as to why his deck lacked a few cards. He didn't even notice that at first. At some point he almost lost his mind trying to find the cards he wasn't given in the first place - he thought he lost them. Eventually, he and other clones agreed that those 5 cards were missing from the start. They couldn't go and ask the Fortuneteller anyway.
A very important note: Natalia is not the Red joker! As for Joker (or Yevgeny, or Jenya, or Jo as we call him), he is also not a clone - he's a separate card being with what basically counts as admin rights. Natasha, while not being the owner of the entire deck, could summon her clones only because she had Joker's card.
So yeah, Joker is living with Natalia and the queens so he won't appear in TDAU comic. At the same time, Fёdor got his role as the Black joker since he has this specific card and the rest of the deck.
"Go Fish!" is a Black Peter's spin-off dedicated to the stories of the Queens and the Joker, and their life with their hostess – Natalia, a single mother raising her three-year-old son Sashka.
The work consists of 6 oneshots + one extra chapter, a collection of minisodes.
The work's in progress, will be updating it soon.
Hope you enjoy reading!
I think if you go to the penalty box you should be able to play a game of go fish either with your teammates in there with you, or with the penalty box gatekeeper if they want to play
the original first go fish comic has close to 200k note by now!!! so needless to say i decided not to repost it. instead I have my more up to date comics, made between 2019-2021. including my covid stress comic.
healy being a surprisingly neat driver, indicator always on, no speeding (unecessary if you just leave on time in his opinion), no sharp breaking. holly actually just can't believe it. she's sat in the passenger seat with the permanent alertness of someone who always looks at the driver and not the road, but healy is a calm driver. might cuss some idiot out, sure, but he isn't reckless on his side of things.
march hates it, naturally. he's the '50 points for the kid 20 for the guy in the suit' at-the-crossing passenger
