pushing daisies kaishin au #2

pushing daisies au where shinichi has been able to revive dead animals, plants, even people since he was a child.

kudou "i can literally talk to the dead" shinichi

shinichi's parents didn’t exactly encouraged him to use this power. especially not in public. they’ve seen him revive and re-kill dead plants and animals in the same breath, it doesn’t take a detective to figure out what could happen near a human corpse.

but a young shinichi is curious, a young shinichi admired his father, and a young shinichi wanted to prove himself a detective. but most of all, a young shinichi wanted to help.

so when he saw his father struggle in solving a particular case, a young shinichi figured that maybe asking straight from the source would help give them a hint.

the complete horror in yusaku's eyes shinichi saw that day made him promise himself to never do it again.

shinichi realizes later on that reviving someone just for a clue on the whos, hows, and whys of their death only to touch them again, to basically kill them again, is sick and twisted and the realization leaves him feeling raw and dirty.

he then decides that if he’s gonna find out the truth, if he’s gonna bring justice, it’s not by making the victims suffer a second death. he will unravel the mystery not by magic but by logic.

the curious case of kuroba kaito

hakuba immediately contacts shinichi.

“he was...a friend. if i have to gather all the best detectives to catch his murderer then so be it.”

hakuba goes on to explain.

it was a kid heist. shots were fired. snipers. kaitou kid was caught on camera falling, as if he’d been shot, but he appears a minute later flying away on his glider with not a speck of blood on his suit. all should be well however, a few buildings away in an alleyway, the body of kuroba kaito is found dead. gunshots through the heart and chest.

a simple explanation would’ve been that the glider was a fake activated by kid’s assistant as a last ditch effort to save his legacy and this kuroba kaito was kaitou kid himself. he would’ve said it out loud but by the look on hakuba’s face, he can tell that he already connected those dots long before shinichi even stepped foot in the morgue. that wasn’t what hakuba called him for.

“can i...take a look at the body alone?”

hakuba raises an eye at him but moves to leave without questioning. "alright then. i have to check on another friend anyway. she's been...distraught ever since she heard the news and..." hakuba's words trail away as his eyes unconsciously drifted towards kuroba kaito's covered body. shinichi patiently waits through the quiet pain that he sees on hakuba. the pinch in his brows, the tenseness of his body. he must've been a really good friend.

hakuba shakes his head and turns his attention back to shinichi. "sorry, i...its been a long day. i'll leave you here then. call me if you find anything."

left alone, shinichi carefully zips open the body bag covering kaitou kid's upper body. he looked eerily similar to himself and imagining his own body cold and dead in the morgue sent a shiver down his spine. shaking his head, he pulls a chair close and reads through the file hakuba brought him.

"no witnesses. no camera. not a trace nor lead to anything. just some reports on mysterious gunshots in previous heists that lead to nowhere." they were professionals, whoever did this, shinichi thought. it was not going to be an easy case.

he takes another peek at the body. so this was kaitou kid, huh. too young to be the same as the one before his hiatus. perhaps a successor? motive could be related to his predecessor. his mother hasn't said anything of interest. does she really not know or is she protecting him? he runs his hand through his hair. there's too little information to go on...unless...

temptation rears its head. the source of information is right there in front of him. one touch and it could open up new leads to the case. an immediate disgust twists deep into his gut. he promised himself to never use it on people. to never kill. his father's haunted eyes embedded in his mind. he shouldn't. he really shouldn't. but he remembers the anguished look on hakuba's face. if he was going to do it, this might be the only good time. any longer and his touch would not revive kid. and gone along with him would be vital information to catch his murderer.

shinichi heaves a deep sigh. he has never used his abilities on dead people since that one incident as a child but he couldn't shake off the look on hakuba's face. it was now or never. shinichi reaches for kid's hand.

[leonawriter]

Somehow a thought of "Kaito looks through Pandora but something weirdly cognitive happens instead of just it glowing red" sparked off "P4 crossover: just how fucked is Kaito if he wound up on the Midnight Channel?"

Like... Shinichi, if he was thrown in, would have the element of "most of the population would think that's sci-fi/fantasy, not real life, and laugh it off if they saw" but if even a handful of random people saw something that had Kuroba Kaito blatantly admitting to being Kid? His life would be SHAMBLES. It would be OVER for him.

Part of me thinks that'd be a fun thing to play with, but part of me's just... I'd want the concept of the dungeon maybe, but with not just the Investigation Team but also that if say, Hakuba and/or Aoko were there too, the IT wouldn't need to bother with hearing details, because that'd be sorted. They'd see one showing, if that, depending on the weather.

Heck, maybe Kaito would be particularly infuriating, spy on random people, see the killer saying or doing something he really shouldn't be, and he gets shoved in without any planning. Maybe the first show doesn't even give all that much away - but the moment anyone who's In The Know sees the silhouette of Kid, they start realising that this is potentially the worst case scenario and start moving really quickly.

I've always thought Kaito's persona would be something like an alternate read on Arsène Lupin, because of course it would, and would probably look closer to his dad in Kid's outfit than anything else. As for elements? Probably Bless.

And of course Shadows aren't the nice things you repress, so... it'd be everything Kaito keeps hidden under his Poker Face; the trauma of losing his dad, the fear of losing everyone he cares about to secrets, the fear of being arrested and killed, the fact that this is a vigilante revenge trip for him, so some part of him would want to make these people suffer for what they've done to his dad, and what they want to do to him, the way he doesn't trust detectives...

Shadow Kaito saying hurtful things like wait, you think I care about Aoko? She's just a useful means to an end, at this point, I wouldn't put up with her otherwise and I much prefer it when Hakuba's away because who wants someone like that coming after you? It's no wonder he doesn't have any friends if that's how he is but also I'm better off on my own, aren't I? So what if the detectives have all the connections - the more people who know who you are, the more can screw you over in the end.

Kaito refusing all of it and denying it and the others having to fight a terrifying monstrous Kid-a-like Shadow that makes them attack their teammates and puts them to sleep and hurts them, which is going to end up in Kaito's nightmares.

His Shadow being defeated and now... now it's not a scary and angry and spewing hate, it's just small and fully expecting to be pushed away, because that's what he does to other people, and... Kaito has to go up, and accept it.

Accept that yeah, he has used Aoko like that more than he should have. That yeah, he's let his fear of Hakuba just doing the detective thing and turning him in blind him to the fact that the guy is also just lonely and in need of friends. And... yeah, he hasn't been trying to connect with others as much as he could.

They go back to Ekoda and everyone's wondering what the heck even happened, because Kaito is different. Not a bad different - he seems kind of happier and more confident. But definitely changed.

[moldyselene]

Fem!KaiShin headcanons! What do you think would be different from the original?

(i saw your post. Turn on the brainrot. Fill this ask up!!!)

Got fem kaishin brainrot and about to make everyone’s problem

More fem kaishin hc🔥

-KID does not have a confirmed gender in that au with kaito constantly changing her suit (not really lore relevant I just think its fun)

-flashbomb/ gasbomb are hidden in her platform boots

-shinchi does not turn into conan, but agasa still saved haibara so shes still helping haibara fight the BO

-KID went inactive after discovering pandora, shinichi only meet kaito a year later when theyre 20, it was just kind of a situationship going on when KID was active

[pemebi]

Decided to give myself a break because I think I got super stressed, so today I decided to doodle for myself and ignore the stuff I need to do (I think I already finished the urgent ones so...) In the gem!Shinichi Au, Shinichi and Kaito have a very antagonist relationship with each other, Kaito desires to destroy Pandora and Shinichi desires to protect Ran (Pandora), so they clash a lot due to incompatible goals, so... besides because Shinichi is a good person, why would he help Kaito with his nocturne job? *Takes a look to Aoko* "I would self-destruct if I saw this girl sad, special because she looks so much like Ran"

notes: For the first drawing I used the sims4 to get the perspective of the background and a model 3d for Shinichi, why perspective is so hard, ayuda

[spacebubblehomebase]

ANOTHER "Fanfic Search Help" Request because I'm at the end of my rope and very desperate for some good ol' nostalgic read. Pls help me.

Kaishin pairing.

DCMK fandom.

Angsty and Dark.

Toichi lives sort-of???

Other world mishaps.

This time the plot is mostly about Kaito Kuroba being sent to another world where the BO didn't ruin his life. I say "mostly" because this is a series of fics in AO3 and some of them focus on Shinichi's P.O.V. too. The biggest (heart) kicker is that in their original world, the BO killed off each of their friends and family one by one until it's just the two of them against the world with nothing but a few small tokens to remember each person they lost by. The two of them were always together, but they were in too much danger to prioritize the idea of being "together". Still, Kaito and Shinichi were each other's lifeline. At their last chance to keep Pandora away from the Crows, Shinichi made a choice that had him be disguised as Kaitou KID while he paralyzes Kaito from following so he, instead, can die in the thief's place. A sequence of mourning and magical mishaps happen after, which led to Kaito being sent to a world where BOTH his parents were still alive, but there's another him in it too. One who still has a crush on Aoko and had no reason to take on the KID mantle from his father. While he gathers his bearings in this new reality where he still has people to care for him, we later learn that another Shinichi exist here too. One that never took the Apotoxin, but is somehow just as miserable as his dead counterpart. Mostly homeschooled, this Shinichi never grew up being viewed as a "great detective" rather more as a "corpse magnet weirdo" who has no friends and got involved in an incident in his childhood that would traumatize anyone (except for one indigo eyed boy he met then who was adamant about his dad rescuing them. Huh... He wonders how that kid's doing now). Bullied and distant from even Ran and Sonoko, he lacks the confidence and self-assurance of our Shinichi who takes pride in the truth. Rather, this one is more afraid and saddened by it and is mocked for his bluntness. That's why this new world's Kaito never heard much of this Shinichi too, because he's not featured in the news for solving cases, but he's been ostracized for it. I just love the idea of how different people could turn out to be with just a change of perspective. This Shinichi is still observant and cares for people's safety, but because of how he was viewed as a negative instead of a positive, in this world, his strengths became a weakness and what attracted our thief Kaito never got to shine. Changing their meeting and this Shinichi's personality instead to meek and lonely. Not as driven and assertive.

Last time I checked, it's not finished, but that's fine. I love the concept too much! My biggest fear is that it's been deleted.

Transmigrator Kaito snippets

Follow the transmigrator kaito tag for more!! >v<

Part 1:

Kaito's Shinichi Shrine basically disappears overnight. Kaito is SO offended. His... his Shinichi and Conan nendoroids!!! His beloved side characters too!!! Ran, and Hattori and Haibara, where are they?????? PANDORA IF YOU TRANSMIGRATED KAITO TO THIS WORLD WHY COULDN'T HE HAVE HIS BELOVED DETCO MERCH??!?!! HIS HUGE WELL LOVED COLLECTION OF CONAN BOOKS??? NOW THERES A MOSTLY EMPTY BOOKCASE FULL OF YAIBA ONES INSTEAD. THE HORROR

Kaito proceeds to freak out and cry mentally for the next few days. He's extra sulky in class and the Ekoda gang are lowkey worried for him.

Proceeds to almost immediately out himself as a Kudo Shinichi fanboy to the Ekoda gang when he perks up like a puppy at Hakuba mentioning him. And going on a rant about how Shinichi deserves better... HE CAN'T HIDE IT LOL

When Hakuba meets Conan during Sunset Mansion he actually asks Conan desperately to warn his Shinichi-nii-san about Kaito- HAHAHAHHAHA. On the other hand, they exchange phone numbers early

Kaito almost immediately starts pestering the Kudo mansion and sending a heck ton of KID notices so Shinichi can get the hint and attend a heist. Shin is like... dude... my letterbox... it's overflowing with this stupid thief's notices...

Cue Kaito being a nervous mess around Shin

Even when Shin shrinks into Conan, he's half wondering how the thief will react when he sees him, and if he'll even know. He laughs to himself how funny it would be for the thief to not recognise him

Too bad for Shin, Kaito immediately starts tearing up, wailing, and hugging his adorable tantei-kun about how he's suffered. Annoyingly in the hug, Kaito also secures his gadgets so Cone is left to suffer in his grasp. Although he has to admit, he's glad he doesn't have to hide his true self from the thief and he really needs a hug after everything he's gone through...

DP x DCMK (x DC)

Where Danny and Shinichi meet at the Hawaii where's a Ghost Convention (pre-portal and Conan, when they're both around 11–12 years old) since both sets of parents are invested in the topic. (The Fentons because they're the Fentons and Yusaku because he's researching for one of his books).

They become friends and keep contacts through messages, sharing school shenanigans, crushes, cases and family mishaps.

The One Thing that Danny doesn't share, though, is his halfa status.

First, because Shinichi doesn't believe in the supernatural (according to him, magic is just unexplained science) and second, because his change is far from any kind of "normalcy" and Shinichi had categorically stated that he doesn't want anything to do with superheroes, he's just a "normal" detective and they (the Justice League) save the world.

Though, it's not unusual that, if something weird happens in a case, Shinichi asks Danny's opinion and intel since the Fenton's library has "weird"/obscure material. (If the answer gets him too close to superhero-stuff, Shinichi passes the ball to the JL, more specifically to Red Robin, but that's something for a following reblog of this thread.)

So when Shinichi becomes Conan and settles in Ran's home, he contacts our favorite boi.

(A bit late to the @crossoverdanuary party... (^～^;)ゞ Anyway, long post in chat-style, plus an extra, so I decided to use the read more function because it was getting out of hand... (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) )

Shinichi: Hey Danny, do you know anything that should be killing you, but instead it shrinks you? Danny: Shrink as in size or age? S: Age D: Hold on, gotta check some books to be sure, but usually anything age-related is dark shit. What's for? Fun or case? S: ...It's for a case D: Well, that didn't sound ominous at all, then gotta go *faster* *few minutes later* D: Okay, the closest thing (still in the Mortal Realm) to what you asked is this jewel most commonly known as "Pandora" (if she knew, she would definitely lose her shit) D: it's a gem hidden inside another gem that glows red under the moonlight D: "if bathed in the light of the Volley Comet, it would shed tears capable of granting eternal life" S: This doesn't sound anything like what I asked you (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠) D: Cut the sass beanpole and let me continue D: since the legend exist and it's documented, it should be reasonable to presume that someone managed to attain it, right? S: ...right *squinty eyes* D: So if some scientist tried to reproduce the same results in the *scientific way* instead of the magical one, they could have either the original "Tears" or the one who consumed them and run test and experiment on them D: whatever the case, there would be either some inferior or failed products that instead of making you immortal, *de-ages* you, which is the next best thing (i.e. you would live longer) D: but since they were "failures" compared to the immortality elixir, they could definitely become poisons. D: So! Since you were so ominous, was it really for a case or did our dear Professor Agasa dabble in alchemy? 👀 (read) D: Beanpole, I know you read my explanation and since this is really dark shit you *have* to at least give me context D: because among the warnings that the grimoire gave me, there's the thing that you become somewhat cursed S: ...Or you're cursed or you're not, there's no "somewhat" D: He speaks! 🙌 D: Give me *the deets* *long pause* D: *Shinichi Kudo* ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ S: Okay, fine! I can feel your disappointed stare all the way to Japan, stop! >Д&lt; D: Then explain S: Okay S: so you know how I can't leave things alone when they have suspicious all printed on them? D: Your worst defect, yes, but continue D: ...wait D: Shinichi no D: HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?? S: Still 17, thank you very much D: I mean physically, you little shit, don't dodge the question! S: ... S: ...we think 7 D: What in the Infinite Realms everloving fuck, Shinichi D: Okay, you know what? D: I'm coming to Japan and you can't stop me, you *midget*, I know what you're already going to say D: it's dangerous, yada yada D: nothing I've already seen and fought S: What do you mean?! D: Since you're *such a good detective*, deduce it yourself D: give me your coordinates in the meantime and don't you dare move from that spot S: If you send me Superman or anyone of his creek, I swear to Kami, Danny D: Please, Superman could only desire to be anything like me, now *coordinates* ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ *coordinates sent* D: good boy D: now get ready in 3 S: 3 what? D: 2 D: 1

🕵️👻

A full body shiver run over Shinichi as soon as the "1" appeared on the screen, so he looked up from his phone, searching for where the cold draft could have come from. However, the agency toilet window was closed and the closed door had a good insulation, last time he had checked.

So what...!

"Boo."

Shinichi shrieked with all the high pitch of an elementary schooler, as he whirled around to look at what, or better, who had whispered by his ear.

A white-haired green-eyed floating teenager with a black hazmat suit with white accents grinned almost maniacally at him, showing their fangs predatorily.

Anatomically they looked male and despite the unhinged expression, the body language didn't project "danger". If anything, it was loose and casual as if he (until otherwise stated) belonged here.

The unearthly glow suggested either some substance coating him that gave him that illusion, or there was magic afoot.

Irritation surged inside Shinichi: Danny knew his rules! No direct superhero meeting, only exchange of intel!

"Who are you and why did Fenton send you?" Shinichi gritted, crossing his arms to appear less like a 7 years old.

"You disappoint me, little detective, I thought you would have figured it out at first glance!" The supposed hero pouted, crossing legs and arms midair and staring back at Shinichi. "I guess that your fame had been an exaggeration, after all. Some East Highschool Detective you are!"

The teasing little smirk incensed Shinichi more than alarming him (the other knew his secret!), but the last thought made him pause.

Danny wouldn't betray him like this by informing whatever "superhero" of this situation just to help him without his consent. Their boundaries had been awesome like that and had been respected so far, despite the many trials both had faced.

So who was this person really?

Shinichi's mind focused back into deducing the teen before him, and the more looked, the more disbelief made way in his heart. (...He had said he would be coming to Japan, but not in that instant!)

"No way, Danny?"

"Fucking finally, midget! What took you so long?" Danny huffed, untangling then touching down on his feet and looking him over. "It even gave me time to take a look at your situation!"

"Hey! Your voice is different, so I could deduce it only because "if you exclude the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the Truth"! Since you would never spill my secrets to anyone, this must have been you!" Shinichi gestured to his friend, who flushed green when he registered the meaning of the words.

"Wow," he breathed, sounding pleased, as he scratched his nape, "you would believe that a ghost of me is still me instead of me betraying you, wow!"

"Wait, ghost? I thought you just become a superhero, not that you died!" Despite his insistence on not believing the supernatural, Shinichi had read the Fentons' papers on ghosts (the most recent ones, AKA the "no more biased version" as Danny had called them). And, while he hadn't told his friend this, the scientific breakdown of what makes a ghost what they are, had made Shinichi believe in the existence of ectoplasmic beings.

But to discover that one of his best friends had died, he hadn't known or could have done anything, plus Danny hadn't felt safe enough to tell him until it had become unavoidable, made Shinichi clutch his heart in agony and despair.

Probably sensing the shift and interpreting the action for what that was, Danny's face shifted into regret, as he knelt down before the shrunk detective and a ring of light lit up at his waist, washing over him and leaving a hoodie-and-jeans-clad raven-haired and blue-eyed teenager.

Slowly, as if not to spook a frozen Shinichi, Danny laid a hand on his shoulder, while the other took the free little hand to his NASA hoodies chest and splayed it there, allowing him to feel his heartbeat. As if he had known that only words wouldn't have been enough to convince the detective.

Slowly but surely, feeling Danny's sluggish but steady heartbeat, made Shinichi unclench, then lean against his friend's chest, head tucked under his chin.

Carefully, Danny wrapped his friend in a hug, knowing well that, while physical affection was welcome from him, Japanese social conventions and the Kudo's upbringing had left Shinichi a little adverse to prolonged contact.

As the apparent 7-years-old melted into the embrace and clutched Danny as well, followed by a suspicious wet sensation on his chest, the halfa realized that this was bad.

Shinichi had never sought comfort like that, according to professor Agasa (who Danny did keep in contact with, since he was more a parent than the Kudos), so to do this now...

"It's okay, Shinichi, I'll explain better what happened to me, but it's not your fault." Shinichi shuddered at these words and buried deeper in the embrace, making guilt shoot through Danny. He had caused this breakdown. The least he could do was to help him through it and some.

"And we're gonna find a way to solve what happened to you, I promise."

Transmigrator Kaito AU

part 2:

(lol i haven't written any resembling a fic for this au yet but feel free to ask questions)

Kaito's favourite manga is Detective Conan. Instead of crossing over with Magic Kaito, it crosses over with Yaiba.

The Yaiba content annoys Kaito to no end because he's jealous~ He's like "Ugh, crossing Conan over with say like, a Phantom Thief would be perfect! Not Yaiba! >:("

He's definitely read and written Kaitou KID / Detective Conan crossovers HAHAHA

(I still need to do more research about Yaiba but I know there's Yaiba characters in dc so that's why I chose this. Sorry I don't know much about Yaiba but I thought it would be a fun idea)

Kaito picked it up when his dad died and still reads it to this day. Yes, it's long running series too :)) He reads it in his downtime, including before and after heists. He's basically memorised every detail.

Out of all the characters, Conan/Shinichi is Kaito's favourite character. When Kaito got frustrated, he always came back for him. And he's a huuuuge fanboy as well! He knows all the little details >v0 and admires Shin-chan a lot.

I'm still deciding on making this romantic ShinKai or queerplatonic (like some third thing other than platonic and romantic) but eh it's still in the air ig. Kaito adores Shin a lot either way.

Kaito doesn't know that in the final chapter of Conan, it was revealed Shin and Ran decided they had a sibling relationship. Kaito keeps trying to wingman them in increasingly absurd ways that makes Shin think he's actually trying to serenade Ran.

When the final chapter is going to come out, Kaito goes on a heist but everything goes wrong. He ends up finding Pandora, but Snake finds him first and manages to mortally wound him. As he bleeds out on the rooftop, Pandora drenched in blood and lying in his limp hands, Kaito's last regret is how he never got to read the final chapter of Conan.

More details below cut:

~

Suddenly, Kaito wakes up to a vicious pinch in his cheek.

"Ba-kai-to! Wake up! I've been calling you for the last 5 minutes!"

"Ow! A-Aoko?? Wha-"

Kaito raises his head and sees... his normal classroom? Huh? Was everything just a dream? That final heist?

Kaito quickly pats down his chest. Nothing hurts... except for his sore throbbing cheek, and he's clothed in his normal school uniform, not the KID suit.

He keeps glancing around, trying to find any differences. Aoko's still standing in front of his desk, hands on her hips and a concerned look on her face. The classroom hasn't been filled up yet and the board is still freshly cleaned from yesterday, meaning it's the morning and class hasn't started yet. Akako hasn't arrived either. And Hakuba's reading a newspaper about Kudo Shinichi...

Huh?

Kudo Shinichi???

Kaito lunges over his desk. "Hey! Give me that!"

Hakuba is too stunned at the sudden attack.

Kaito rapidly skims through the article .The paper crinkles in his trembling grip.

"Kudo Shinichi, the Heisei Holmes has done it again! He solved another case flawlessly last Monday..."

Hakuba adds hesitantly, "Yes? Kudo Shinichi. He's been making a name for himself recently. It would be a pleasure as a fellow detective to work alongside him one day."

Hakuba says this all naturally, like Shinchi's been real this entire time. Like he wasn't just a manga character yesterday.

Kaito gulps ...There's no mistake. The impossible has happened, and Detective Conan is somehow real.

~ Kaito in this AU is just... a Kudo Shinichi fanboy. He's absolutely ecstatic to challenge Kudo Shinichi. He's even more excited to amaze his critic, and every time they meet, Kaito's pokerface works overtime to hide his delighted blush and adoring grin on his face. Jii is so confused but also very supportive.

... Kaito really wants to squish Shin-chan's cheeks and tease him until his entire face turns a pretty pink, dangers be damned.

Meanwhile Shinichi keeps getting annoyed by this clingy thief who keeps coming back for more. What's so interesting about him anyways??? Why does he keep teasing him???

(This au also includes pre-conan and during conan. Kaito is extremely charmed by Conan and his pokerface works extra-overtime than when he met Shinichi. If that is even possible. After every heist he screams in his pillow and recalls every moment)

Extras:

Kaito takes a solid week to slide himself into the Kudo Shinichi fan-server and cement himself as the Shinichi Expert. After a month he actually gets elected as co-president. Yes he's absolutely insane.

Kaito regularly sends fan letters to Shinichi, even after his 'disappearance'. They always wish Shinichi the best and includes random funny snippets of Kaito's day. They're addressed as "Kai-san" and are pretty polite. They always come with Kaito's genetically engineered blue and red roses that he grows in his garden. He doesn't gift the blue roses to anyone but Shinichi haha

Akako does exist in this universe. It's just that she sensed such a major disturbance that she stayed at home and researched it vigorously to make sure the fabric of space-time wasn't unravelling.

Kaito is like a proud peacock whenever Shin/Cone shows up. He literally pulls out all the stops and Jii is confused, yet very supportive. Agasa who provides the gadget just sighs at the huge and absurd list. It doesn't escape his mind that it happens whenever Conan/Shin attends a KID heist.

OVA 1 is really fun so I thought it would be extra funny for it to be somewhat plausible in this au. Not sure if Yaiba would be turned into a manga series when Magic Kaito becomes the main crossover (if that makes sense). When Kaito robs the sword, he would use his knowledge to cause the most chaos. Yes Kaito read Yaiba out of spite, and also 'know thy enemy, know thyself'

I think if I said who my favorite characters in media were, it wouldn't surprise anyone here. Instead it'd be like that explains so fucking much while saying nothing. So fuck it.

A list of favorite characters from every hyper fixation I've ever had.

YuYu Hakusho (I would recommend both the manga and anime bpth are very good times.)

Yusuke Urameshi Keiko Yukimura Kazuma Kuwabara (I love Kuwabara he's great- He's amazing good guy.).

Since we're on Yoshiro Togashi's work anyway-

Hunter x Hunter

Killua Zoldyck Leorio Paladiknight Knuckle Bine

Detective Conan

Shinichi Kudo (I too am irresponsible and full of hubris I would have followed that criminal too at his age.) Ran Mori Heiji Hattori

Shaman King

Yoh Hao Asakura

It's equal but I lean more favorably towards Yoh. Favorite Yu-gi-oh series and protagonist

Yu-Gi-Oh GX

Judai Yuki (I don't think this says anything. I'm just correct, actually.)

Bleach

Orihime Inoue (Always forever sweet lady amazing girl.) Captain Unohana Oldman Yamamoto Toshiro Hitsugaya Kenpachi and Ichigo (I like them both to about the same degree.)

Naruto

Naruto Hinata Neji Shikamaru Sakura Ino Tamari

Oh, wait Akamaru. Yep that's every- oh and Shino! Wait and Choji. Probably Tamari's entire team, too, and can't forget Neji. In fact there we go he's up where he belongs. Naruto has a huge fucking cast. Most of them are interesting chaaracters. Bleach has a fucking huge cast as well.

Code Geass

Lelouch Euphemia Suzaku Akito from Akito the exiled (this is also correct).

Boruto

I'm committed to what I like-

Boruto Shikadai Chocho (this is just correct too actually I don't look in this fandom so fuck it I make this rule now) Himawari Inojin.

One Punch Man

Garo (I said he could beat Saitama in the manga and my nephews made fun of me because he's never won anywhere else. But that shit was a fight in the manga instead of a one hit out.) Metal Bat (I have a character type leave me alone. Yes, I recognize having Kuwabara, Knuckle Brine, and then him here sets a pattern. But I'd argue it's a good one.)

Chainsaw Man

Denji Makima Nayuta Kobeni Asa

Pandora Hearts

Oswald Gilbert Oz Elliot Marie Ada Sharron Lily

Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning (Spiral Suri no Kizuna)(read this in middle school sooo this is going off memory.)

Ayumu Narumi Hizumi Mizushiro

Tobari Kazuhiko Miharu Yoite Kouichi

Kagerou Days

Shintaro Ayano Seto Konoha Hibiya

Batman comics and animated series

Harley Quinn (since batman the animated series) Damian Wayne (since Son of Batman movie) Bruce Wayne (Yes, Bruce is below his son. I'm not sorry.) Poison Ivy (since Batman the animated series.).

Spider-man

Peter Parker Mile's Morales (from the films).

Calvin and Hobbes

It was the first thing I enjoyed reading. I don't think I have to explain this but I liked everyone that appeared frequently in this.

Deadpool (mostly due to the Spider-man team up comics and the movies.)

W.I.T.C.H

Irma Hay Lin Will Taranee Cornelia Elyon

Totally Spies

Alex Clover Sam

Martin Mystery (A show nobody knows)

Martin

Invader Zim

Dib Gaz Tak

Gravity Falls

Dipper Pines Pacifica Mabel Stanley

I was typing this up during that whole other thing people may have seen. I don't know what this list can tell anyone about me. It is funny to go over for me personally because a lot of the characterization stuff I like from Milgram can be found in most of these series. Which is proably why I have trouble actually picking favorites in regards to Milgram since all of the characters have traits I enjoy.

But yeah that's a little bit about me I guess. I do enjoy a lot of the characterization I see in Milgram. This is much more casual and generally being written up to give some idea of my likes. Though most of these are good watches, reads, or plays. Most are pretty well known but I would recommend Spiral since it's not that talked about in general.

Well, that's it.

[restricted-on-13th]

Kaishin lovers, DCMK people or Magic Kaito fellow, I have a question to ask.

Is there any YouTube videos that are a review of Magic Kaito by an experienced magician? Or a review of Detective Conan episode or cases by a detective? Cause I'm honestly curious if there are people who reviewed and critiqued the shows plus it's even better if there's a video of a cosplay Kaitou Kid who did magic! Cause I can't seem to find any that and the one's that I did, I already watched.

Now for the Kaishin lovers, you can stop reading at this point if you don't like Kaishin.

Can someone please recommend me some good fics? I have scoured ao3, not much on fanfiction.net (you can rec on fics on that too), on kaishin fics so many times that almost everything I'm interested in, I've read already.

I'm not partial to anything about the tropes but I do have some ideas that I like.

Other than a hot top kaito (this is embarrassing)

Pandora Kaito/Shinichi/OC, Dark Kaito (his whole character is practically begging for it, for all that supress emotions and fabricate it nonsense, don'tget me started on Toichi), Angst (when done good, it's done good), Black Org Takedowns (Better if Kaito's side gets takendown too), Death persona Shinichi (like he's a shinigami, angel of death, or anything that relates to death), reaction fics (its like cinema fics of Kid and Conan's life by other characters), Media coverage or news coverage fic (these tends to be a bit silly, can also includes reality shows), celebrity fic (idols, singers, actors, anything in the spotlight), wing fic (do I need to say more?), college fics (I know there are some but i still want recs), Undercover Shinichi or Kaito (can be on the job or part of FBI or the police) And any elaborate world building or lores (can be fantasy, sci-fi, superpowers or anything else, fics like these are rare, especially the good ones)

Now unto the ideas that I dont often see:

Kuroba Kaito doesn't know Conan is Shinichi Kudo (and vice versa), No one knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo (I want to see a fic like this and want to see how the author would figure it out, it's fine if there's compromises to certain characters that are too involved to Knowing Conan is Shinichi but the one thing I know close to it is Dominoes and it's only in the latter part of the fic), Journalist Shinichi (again, Dominoes, and since I'm someone who has experience being a journalist, I'm partial to this and any news or media coverage fic I find), Game fics (either they are players, streamers or anchors, I once found a Kaishin fic on lofter where they're streamers and sadly I can't find it now since lofter has new regulations for guests, just anything game related cause I remember that one otome game fic of shinichi), Shinich used as bait for Kid (I know there are some fics like these but I'm pretty sure I already read those and it's still lacking for meeee), Isekai fics (for an anime from Japan, there's a large lack of isekai fics here) and finally Highschool fics (I haven't seen any fics that feature Kaito and Shinichi as Highschoolers, they can do whatever they like with the plot but yeah, Highschool setting damnit)

And that's all I could think of, you can use this as prompts for a story, art or anything you like. If you do have any recommendations, please share it with me. I'd be eternally grateful since pretty much all the things I like in Kaishin ao3 isn't new for me anymore.

Here’s a piece featuring Kid and Conan on a rooftop, post-heist!(and a short story)

Story snippet:

On the night of Kaitou Kid's latest heist, the moon hung high above the Tokyo skyline, casting an ethereal glow over the museum rooftops. The plan had gone off flawlessly—almost too flawlessly. Not a single challenge, no close calls, and worst of all, no sign of the person he had most looked forward to outsmarting.

Kid snatched the purple gemstone with his usual flourish, slipping it into his pocket without a second thought. But tonight, his mind kept wandering, nagged by an emptiness in the chase, as if he were missing a vital piece of the puzzle. Conan Edogawa, the pint-sized detective he loved to tease, wasn’t here.

Deciding he’d rather cut his losses than continue a chase without his favorite adversary, he turned toward the roof. It was then he caught sight of a small figure standing at the ledge of the roof, looking out at the city with an air that seemed much too heavy for someone so young.

“Ah, there you are, Tantei-kun,” Kid called out, mask firmly in place. But the boy’s face didn’t light up with that usual spark of determination. Instead, he seemed… lost.

Ignoring the slight discomfort gnawing at his usual confidence, Kid flipped the purple gemstone in his hand, admiring its shimmer as he checked for the telltale glow that would reveal it as Pandora. “A bit lonely without you down there, you know. Maybe I should leave you a map next time.” He held up the jewel with a flourish, expecting the detective to rise to the bait.

But Conan just looked up at him, a sad smile creeping onto his face. “This is going to be my last heist, Kid. I don’t think we’ll be seeing each other again after this.”

For a second, the Kaitou Kid’s signature grin faltered. He covered it quickly, giving a mock laugh. “Oh? Since when did you get tired of our little game?”

Conan’s gaze drifted back out over the city. “Let’s just say… there are things I have to take care of. Once I finish, things won’t be the same.”

“Things won’t be… the same?” Kid’s voice softened, and his usual playful air seemed to fade, just a bit. “Are you saying the great Kudo Shinichi will be returning? Should I be expecting him at my next heist?”

Conan looked up at him, a faint twinkle in his eye, though there was a trace of sadness there, too. “Maybe,” he said simply.

They stood there for a moment, the detective and the phantom thief, as the wind tugged at their clothes, swirling around them like the memories of countless heists and close calls. Kid pocketed the gem, casting aside the thrill of tonight’s victory. Somehow, it didn’t seem to matter.

“Well,” Kid said, his voice softer than usual, “I suppose… maybe it’s not goodbye just yet, Tantei-kun.” He pulled a card from his pocket and held it up, the words “Catch me if you can” scrawled across it.

Conan’s expression softened just a bit as he took it. “Take care, Kaitou Kid.”

And with one last tip of his hat, Kid disappeared into the night, leaving behind his detective.

Episode 2! Where he see how bad a couple Aoko and Kaito are in the series already!

Kaito does not have the highest opinion of Nakamori, does he T-T

Okay, confession time. I actually find the criminal organization after KID to be extremely underwhelming, especially compared to the org we get in Detective Conan.

Oh who is this professor, Jii 👀

Kaito insults Aoko's father, the man who has been helping feed Kaito and look after him while his parents fuck off around the world. Aoko assault Kaito for his comment and walks off as if she hadn't and then Kaito also forgets Aoko, his childhood friend and "love interests" own birthday! Romance~

Oh god Kaito even insults her appearance in a very disgusting way. I love Magic Kaito for the chance to learn the other side of Kaito, I hate it for how gross Kaito can be as a character.

And Aoko's hatred of KID means she'll probably never accept Kaito for who he truly is. She probably would have if he had told her so much sooner but he doesn't because the men in any of his series don't actually trust the women in their lives <.<

Gosho, people arguing isn't love.

Nakamori is just straight up trying to kill Kaito. Where does he get the money for this?! It's a thief that returns everything he steals. I guess they can't stand the mockery of the police department.

Kaito's plan to get the jewel: Make them grab a dummy and then jump into the fray.

Kaito couldn't even be bothered to change the date of the heist so he could go to Aoko's birthday <.< Love to see how much he cares about her.

Snake is so boring as a character. Especially compared to the danger we see from Gin.

The fact he just gives away all the information Kaito asks for too <.< God, Magic Kaito's writing wasn't really the strongest, was it.

Keiko, you do know girls and boys can be friends right? And that it would be weird if she DIDN'T invite the boy who is her childhood friends.

So there are multiple jewels like Pandora with great power? And it's just Pandora that has the power over immortality.

This should have given away to them that this isn't Toichi. There are so many plot holes in Magic Kaito.

The fact that Nakamori also forgot Aoko's birthday is disgusting too.

She has every right to be upset, actually. Both her parents are bad and you also ditched her.

But of course Kaito came up with a great idea at last minute, it shows us how much he "cares".

At least I can give Kaito something. His last minute ideas are much better than Shinichi's last minute ideas. Aoko deserves so much better though.

[leonawriter]

My current half-crack theory is that one of Toichi and Yusaku's parents were actually related to the Boss of the Organisation.

Less crack theory: the drug Shiho's parents developed was actually using Pandora's Tears as its base formula, and they'd already found the gem at some point ages ago pre-canon, but lost it. In order to get the Tears again and refine the formula properly, they need it back, which is what they were attempting when Toichi was Kid, and he found them out, stating that he'd find it before them and either destroy it or protect it.

Pandora's Tears are meant to grant immortality, and the APTX4869 is a lesser copy that as yet only de-ages as a side-effect.

With that in mind... if Toichi had already found the Pandora 8 years ago, the reason for him faking his death and not telling Kaito would be the same as Shinichi and Shiho, and Mary too - "if they find me, they'll kill me and everyone I love, it's better if I'm dead to the world." He could only admit or hint that he's alive once Kaito has proven he's capable of staying alive.

Theme 2: Framed

News of the Midnight Moonlight, a sapphire jewel owned by the infamous Suzuki Jirokichi, was stolen. Rumors had it that it was stolen by Kaitou KID. Almost everyone in Beika knows about the news, except Kaito himself. Yet the said phantom thief had long retired and is currently in the Kudo Manor sitting beside his detective while trying to show him a trick.

"Shin-chan~ guess which hand has the coconut water!" He grinned and held up two hands. The said detective gave him a look before burying his head back to the case he had been focusing on. "Left."

"Ah, still can't trick your eyes, can it?" Kaito shook his head and placed the plastic bottle of coconut water next to Shinichi on his desk. "I didn't get you coffee this time, since it's been 3 days before you get a wink of sleep. You need sleep in order to be able to function well, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah." Shinichi responded while keeping his eyes on the papers.

Kaito shook his head at Shinichi before sitting down on the couch on the other side of the room. It was quite boring for him, so he decided to pick up the newspaper that was sitting next to him in hopes to find something interesting to read. That was when he saw that the Midnight Moonlight Suzuki was stolen. The shocking news almost made him fall off of the couch.

"Kaito." Shinichi said annoyed as he rubbed his temple. "Haven't I told you to be quiet when I'm trying to work?"

"But Shin-chan!" Kaito whined as he pointed at the headlines. "Haven't you seen what the reporters wrote? The Midnight Moonlight is stolen and they're framing me to be the thief."

Apparently Kaito was not the only one who didn't know about the news. "What?" Shinichi said in disbelief as he came over to take a good look at the newspaper, just to make sure that it was not Kaito's shenanigan that was just trying to take his attention off of work. When he made sure that he didn't misread things, he frowned. "This is ridiculous. Kaitou KID hasn't been spotted for years. Besides, you've already found the Pandora and destroyed it, so there's no reason for you to continue to use the alias Kaitou KID. Who would do such a thing?"

Kaito tapped his chin as he thought. "I do remember there is someone....."

Shinichi was silent as his blue orbs focused on Kaito.

"There was a mysterious person that I ran into when I was one of my heists." Kaito explained as he stared back at Shinichi. "He was wearing black and the color theme was very similar to my Kaitou KID getup."

Shinichi nodded. "And then what happened?"

Kaito shrugged. "I was ambushed so I didn't have time to question the guy. But it's strange, since then, I never saw him again."

Shinichi pinched his chin as he thought. Kaito took this moment to admire the side face of his detective. After a while, Shinichi spoke.

"Do you have time tonight? We're going to pay Suzuki Jirokichi a visit. Oh, and don't forget to dress as Kaitou KID. I think I have an idea that can lure the real thief out."

⋘══════∗ {•『 🎩⚽ 』•} ∗══════ ⋙

"Ugh, Shin-chan should've told me to wear a jacket." Kaito, now Kaitou KID, complained as he gave another loud sneeze. He was waiting for the signal of Shinichi before making an appearance. For the best effect, Shinichi had told him to wait outside.

"It's to convince the thief that Kaitou KID will not be disguising among the police force." was his words. But Kaito couldn't help but wonder if Shinichi was trying to freeze him on purpose. "Baka Meitantei, doesn't he know that it's bad for a magician to have cold hands?"

Just as he continued to mumble to himself, the lights to the building inside was turned off. Kaito knew that was the signal that they had talked about earlier, so he sneakily opened the window and agily avoided the infrared lights that was set up in the room. Once the lights came on again, Kaito was already perched up high looking at the people below. He swiftly scanned around and saw Shinichi in the back signaling him. He nodded and spoke.

"I'm sure none of you have expected the heist note of the Moonlight Magician himself, have you? " Kaito, no, Kaitou KID smirked as he glanced at the police forces that Jirokichi gathered in the room. "However, that's not why I've made an appearance this time."

"What are you doing!? Get him!" Jirokichi yelled loudly at one of the police as his dog barked at KID. Sonoko fangirled as usual. Kaito had noticed that Shinichi's expression was enough to kill someone when Sonoko screamed. He couldn't help but chuckle at Shinichi's display of jealousy. But he didn't have long to admire his detective. After all, they have business to attend to.

"Before you gentleman attempt to arrest me, allow me to ask you this. When have I stolen and not return what I took?" He asked as he dodged when a police lodged at him. The room was silent at his words. Yeah, even though Kaitou KID enjoyed toying around with them, this was not something he would do. Just as the police looked at each other in confusion, the room was once again dark.

This time, Kaito was confused. This was not part of the plan. What was Shinichi trying to do?

He silently made his way to Shinichi as he quickly changed into a different outfit. "What's going on?"

"I-I don't know. I know I expected the thief to show his face, but I didn't think he would be showing up this quickly..... "

Kaito can tell that even Shinichi was caught off guard. He placed a hand on Shinichi's shoulder as a way to calm him down. But that's when a flash of black rushed past by him.

"Wait-! I think I saw something!" He shout-whispered. But that's when the lighting came back. On the floor where Kaitou KID was, the Midnight Moonlight lay peacefully with a note attached on it.

Jirokichi immediately ordered someone to get the jewel for him to check if it's the real Midnight Moonlight. While their attentions were on the jewel, Kaito took the note that was on the floor and read it. There was random letters on it. Since it's too loud and noisy in their surroundings, he decided to take it back with him to the Kudo Manor to study it privately. Maybe it's some kind of code that he had to figure out how to crack.

Unfortunately, the next day, Kaito caught a cold from standing outside for too long so for the week, he couldn't bother Shinichi and the detective finally had an entire week of peace and quiet to himself.

(The code is in the comment if anyone is interested to solve it :3)
