Kaito never would've stopped being a phantom thief if it was up to him, but it's not. He's thrown into obscurity head-first.

He doesn't stop being shot at. Complete, 80k words.

Part 2:

"How did you deal with it?" she asks. It's uncomfortable to admit her own part in causing a grief like this, but she pushes on. "Knowing I would leave?" "We were worried, of course," her mom says. "Even your sister, though she wouldn't admit it, since she'd want to leave eventually, too. Your father and I talked at length. Did we do something wrong? Did we raise you to want to flee this house?" The words curl around Chikage's heart and ring familiar. They're hers, too. Her mother gives a dry laugh. "And then when we got over ourselves, we still worried. Would you ever send letters? Would you be okay out there in the wild world, with nothing to tie you down?" Chikage realizes with a start that she hadn't once thought that Kaito would be incapable of caring for himself. If it was Toichi, maybe she would've. Not Kaito. She's seen Toichi at his worst, where she didn't dare leave him alone, where he wouldn't bother with making sure he ate or slept or survived. Kaito has always been okay, no matter what. Kaito adapts. "In the end," her mom says, "the choice wasn't mine, and it wasn't your father's, and it wasn't your sister's. We could worry and worry and hope, but we could never keep you. It wasn't right to keep you." Chikage stays quiet. For the first time in years, she doesn't have the right response on her tongue. "You were capable of making your own choices, and this is the path you chose, and we could do nothing more but accept it."

#After a heist #Kaito get displaced in a reality where Kaito Kid never existed #and Kuroba Toichi is still alive.#It makes him restless.#The sudden loss of contacts from his ’friends�� who chased KID #the lack of purpose (of the crowd cheer as his chest fill with adrenaline from a heist)#the too-filled house— they feel like traps around his neck.#So Kaito throw trees over missing brudge #pestering each of his critics until he is known.#He steal books at Akoko’s house.#And when he see suspicious men around his house #Kaito head headfirst into a new battle with ’The Organisation’.#(Akoko’s library was cursed. Of course it was. This make everything slowly worse.)#Bothering Conan’s Organisation has one uplift: Kaito finds Pandora.(And promptly fall)#Maybe Kaito dies. Maybe he doesn’t.#What’s sure #is that the Kaito whose father never died #the blue eyed cheerful magicien teen #is gone from this dimension- if that dimension ever existed prior to ’Kid’ reality shift at all.#is that the new Kaito has scars from heists that never happened in this world covering his bodie #and eyes that are just slightly wrong—an eerie glint of purple shining in them.#dcmk #magic kaito #kaito kid #kaito kuroba #kuroba kaito #The angst was so delicious #fragments of imagination #ao3 #fic rec
