In Double Entry are the verses ever going to meet each other?
Cause I can tell the Motherverse residents aren't going to be happy with the ones from Fatherverse, especially if - when they figure out they are why Alastor would sometimes look almost... uneasy afraid of them at time's.
The realisation would be crushing, these doubles with you're face haven't been treating you're love/beloved/friend/child with the care he deserves.
The "parents" could go either way, they may get territorial and violent cause they've never meet as powerful as them or they may be fascinated cause, again they've never meet someone just like them.
Everyone else - Lucifer, Lilith, Adam and Eve, ect - would undoubtedly get violent, especially if F!verse start's acting... creepy towards Al
Custody battle/Armageddon for the deer!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
They might or they might not in canon, but I am almost certainly going to cross them over at least once in an AU, cause its such a fun idea I have to play with it!
Especially because they wouldn't realise that the Alastor's are the same. The Motherverse would meet these doubles who are everything they hate and fear possibly becoming, these dark rulers who are SO CREEPY with their version of Alastor, who is the only one that is himself and is still good in this world, and promptly decide to just...steal him. Motherverse!Heaven and Hell are in agreement for the first time ever.
Alastor honestly has no idea if that would even work. If both his bodies are in one universe, would he have two bodies? go between them when he sleeps? One just collapses and never wakes up? This is interesting and he wants to know where it goes!
Fatherverse, holding onto him and snapping at motherverse: NO! Ours!
In order to stop Motherverse form stealing him, Fatherverse Heaven and Hell are ALSO in agreement for the first time ever!
The two universes go to war. It really is armageddon as a custody battle.
how would you feel if one of us wanted to write about the velargirls and targbros but we have a different vision for their characterizations and story?
I think that would be pretty awesome! My own fanfic inspiring another fanfic would be very cool.
I can’t promise I would read a recursive fanfic based on my works, because I am trying to stay focused on my own writing plans and ideas. But you are free to write whatever you feel like writing!
My only ask is to give me appropriate credit for inspiration. If it’s posted on AO3, please use the “Inspired By” feature to link back to my fic/series. If it’s posted on a non-AO3 site, please indicate that your fic is inspired by “XYZ fic/series” by PresidentHades and include a link to my fic/series (you can also tag me if it’s on Tumblr).
I have two different versions of Canon meets DE that I am planning on writing.
(1) Is sometime after Chapter 8 and is based on our discussion/comments on Tumblr. Humans, Alastor and Lilith, find themselves in the future of a different Universe where Alastor is not the First Man and Lilith has a daughter with Lucifer.
(2) Is after everyone is in their respective afterlives. Alastor is a seraphim who tries to keep his distance from Demon Lilith so not to encourage her obsession.
Lilith has to watch as Alastor enjoys the company of everyone in Canonverse and may be planning everyone’s demise even Charlie her supposed daughter.
OOH! I'm so excited for these! Human!Alastor and Lilith and Seraphim!Alastor and Demon!Lilith interacting with canonverse, so good - is Canon!Alastor there too? Cause I can see her wanting to kill them all except him, because he's an alternate version of her Alastor.
what do you think would have happened if aegon didn't manage to break his engagement to helaena and they ended up married? who would be jace's husband in this universe?
I’ll try to answer this seriously first before I go for a more fun answer.
If the kids are caught trying to elope, Rhaenyra probably feels pressured to arrange Jace’s match sooner rather than later to thwart any future recklessness. Rhaenyra would want to keep Jace close to home, so she probably picks a Velaryon cousin or Celtigar.
If there isn’t an elopement attempt in the first place, then Rhaenyra continues with her plan in Chapter 4 of the Handbook to let Jace choose from a list of suitors. Jace doesn’t want to marry any of them so she tries to prolong the decision, but she does have to make a decision eventually. She might pick Cregan Stark or Qyle Martell because of the alliances they bring, but Jace wouldn’t be super happy living in the North or Dorne, far away from her family. Or she might pick a Tully boy because they’re younger, so she can buy more time before the wedding.
Meanwhile, it’s still in the Greens’ interest to try to get one of Rhaenyra’s daughters in marriage. Honestly, I could see Otto moving onto the next grandson and throwing Aemond at Jace, but Aegon would 100% try to kill Aemond in this scenario. Or Otto could try to match Aemond and Luce. Luce doesn’t take Aemond’s eye in this universe, and their falling-out is something they could overcome if they needed to. But Rhaenyra probably doesn’t accept (Daemon definitely wouldn’t like it), so it probably doesn’t happen.
Since the Blacks and Greens are still at odds, the Greens will crown Aegon. When both sides try to negotiate terms, there’s probably another proposal for Luce/Aemond. If she’s already betrothed or married (most likely to a Velaryon cousin), then they’d propose Joff/Daeron.
If the Dance happens, it wouldn’t have such an explosive beginning because Aemond is unlikely to kill Luce in this universe. But somebody (Daemon or one of the boys) will eventually do something stupid that causes war/violence to break out. Jace’s choice of husband probably affects the balance of land armies. Luce being alive might affect the dragon battles, but Arrax is very small so who knows? Also, despite the tensions, the Targkids are probably reluctant to fight each other.
I feel like my answers are very wishy-washy, but that’s because there are so many different decision points that could change the story, depending on what people choose. Regardless, it would be a less happy timeline for the characters because most people are marrying the wrong partner, and some Targs probably die 😢.
But now the FUN answer!
I actually started jotting down notes for this scenario before I got distracted by other things. I wanted to write a fic where the Dance does happen, but nobody dies and it’s kind of romcommy, and everyone does marry the right person. The initial idea for this fic was “what if Jace and Luce seduce Aegon and Aemond to stop the war,” and I ran with it from there 😇.
Aegon and Helaena get married, but it’s never consummated because Aegon is clinging to the hope of still being able to marry Jace somehow. Meanwhile Jace has managed to delay picking a husband, but she’s feeling more and more pressure to get on with her decision.
When Viserys dies, Aegon is convinced to take the crown when he’s told that as king, he can have his marriage annulled and marry Jace instead. Peace terms are sent to Dragonstone, but like in the show canon, the Blacks are skeptical and try to win support from various lords. Jace is sent to the Vale and then the North, where she’s supposed to offer to marry Cregan in exchange for the North’s support.
Luce goes to Storm’s End and is very peeved about Aemond arranging a betrothal with a Baratheon girl. The two of them argue, Borros kicks them both out because they’re giving him a headache, and Vhagar smacks Arrax around in the courtyard. Aemond goes “fuck it,” kidnaps Luce, and brings her back to the Red Keep, where she becomes his personal headache for the next few months.
Aegon thinks it’s very unfair that Aemond has managed to nab Luce, and he’s also quite upset when he learns Jace is supposed to marry Cregan. To make things fair, Aegon and Aemond plot a way to kidnap Jace when she leaves the Vale before she can go North. So Jace ends up at the Red Keep too, and Luce tells her “hey Aegon is still really into you, maybe you should take advantage of this” and Jace says “fine but if I have to figure out how to seduce somebody then so do you.”
No real battles happen because Aegon and Aemond are too distracted at the Red Keep to actually get on their dragons and fight people. Daeron is traveling with the Hightower army from Oldtown when Joff finds him and is like “hi, I’m kidnapping you to make things fair,” and Daeron is like “great, just what I always wanted.” So now everybody has to sit down and actually talk about things nicely. World peace ensues. The end.
Delimeful gave me permission to write something with a prediction/my version of Down That Desolate Road's ending and told me that it isn't abandoned.
As one could guess, I am extremly happy about this.
I have also already written 5 pages with bullet points of plot on Google Docs (don't worry, its so long because I expanded on some of them as I wrote). Idk if I will post whatever I end up creating, but it is kind of nice to create something where things aren't alright and everthing doesn't have to be tied up in a pretty little bow where the pain everyone experienced was only used to grow and doesn't hold them back. As if that pain didn't destroy that person.
There is a part of my brain that sees the painful point at which dtdr is left off (along with the promise of an eventual hapy ending) that goes "Fine. If you aren't going to give me a happy ending despite your promise, I'll give this an actual ending where everything falls apart and only the simulation of okay is put together at the end." Tbf, I didn't know rhat it was eventually being continued. Normally that instinct would just make me create a happy ending for them myself, but delimeful is the master of comfort after hurt and I really am not.
I'm doing this for myself, but it is nice to have permission.
So Amethyst is lying on the couch, and Pearl is lying on top of her, her ear pressed against Amethyst's chest because she's trying to listen to the heart beating there. But since Amethyst's gem is on that exact place, Pearl hears Ame's Gem Song instead of a heartbeat.
Pearl has done this before. She remembers how excited Rose was the first time she shapeshifted a heart, back during the war. She remembers the first time she herself had that life-giving organ within her chest, the constant rhythmic throbbing both soothing and disconcerting at the same time. She remembers all the times afterwards when the two of them would lie together, relishing the sound of each other's heartbeats.
Pearl has done this before, but it isn't the same.
Amethyst has noticed the change in Pearl's demeanor--the longer the silence between them, the more forlorn she grows. Amethyst doesn't ask; she's too familiar with that expression. Instead, she runs a hand through Pearl's short hair. She loves how spikey it is, how Pearl made sure it never gets in the way. She loves how it feels silky soft between her fingers, and she loves the soft gasps that leave Pearl's lips with every little tug, wanting for more affection.
Amethyst has noticed the change in Pearl's demeanor, but she doesn't mind. She knows how to bring her back to the present.
Just something spur of the moment 'cause I can't get it out of my head after recalling a certain scene from Skies I'm Under by @oathkeeper-of-tarth.
Contrary to popular belief, the sorting hat doesn’t see “who you really are.” It sees what you have and who you could be, given a push in any of four directions. The hat sees the potentials in every student. It looked at a boy who’d lost his toad and saw that someday he could chop the head off a really big snake. With a sword. This sword. *bonk*. The small boy flinches, just as the hat yells, “GRYFFINDOR!” For decades he isn’t sure if he imagined it. But never mind that. Sometimes you don’t recognize your own destiny, even when it hits you over the head.
