Forbidden fic and foreshadowing go brrr

In Worlds Collide--aka the mega-crossover fic that is supposed to be deferred until the author of one of the loadbearing fandoms stops being a magnificently awful person or dies, I'll take either--both Marvel and DC are involved, and those franchises make a point of delineating different worlds in their multiverses by numbering them. So I needed to number the world that the main characters and plot all live on if I wanted to terrorize include characters from different parts of the multiverse. I added up all the number tags from each Earth and thus chose the number 628.

Now, an odd thing about my brain is that I cannot keep straight certain things. One of these things is the specific number of the SCP that's just a giant, unkillable lizard. I can never remember whether it's 628 or 682. (I had to look it up for this post. It's 682.)

Tonight I had a brainwave. If I made the number tag for Worlds Collide-Earth the same as that SCP, it would be both a funny reference and a secret bit of foreshadowing to how, when Miguel-2023 lands on this Earth, he immediately implodes.

And then gets dogpiled by people who hear him say Miles wasn't supposed to be Spiderman and go "HYDRA RHETORIC* ALERT KILL KILL KILL"

Earth-682 will eat Miguel alive because their entire thesis is "together we stand, learning from each other and helping avert tragedies is good actually." Even if he didn't keep accidentally sounding like a racist dudebro, his insistence that Spiderman Can't Save Everyone flies in the face of not only the true meaning of the suit, but the entire attitude of the world and the heroes living there. And this makes them absolutely unstoppable, just like the SCP.

*(In WC, the source materials don't exist because I don't feel like dealing with the headache that would be authors/actors meeting their characters, or someone trying to get hold of the source materials to use as a weapon. I held this opinion even before certain authors went mask-off bigot! So in-universe, the people who object to a Black Spiderman aren't comics dudebros having Bad Takes. They're the kind of bigot who votes Republican in every election. "The Black Spiderman isn't a real Spiderman" is, in-universe, well known to be HYDRA rhetoric and anyone who says it is Sus.)

So I had another idea come at me while making lunch (I'm starting to sense a pattern with myself, lmao)

What if when Jazz sends out letters to the colleges she wants to get into, she gets sent rejection letters from every single one... except the local community college. She's absolutely devastated about it. She thought that she did everything she could to be chosen. How could every single one reject her?

Danny, of course, hears about it and asks Tucker to check and see if something happened digitally. Surely, Technus or Vlad or someone messed with something to sabotage her. But when Tucker checks, there's absolutely nothing wrong. She still has her perfect grades and attendance record all set with no marks. Her community service hours are all there. It's only when he looks at the letters themselves that he finds the problem...

After looking online to see what the letters look like, he comes to a puzzling realization... the letters were fake. It's a good fake, but it's not the real thing. The signatures were off, and the writing had been changed.

This is what leads him down the rabbit hole.

He tries to ask about it online to ask others who've also been rejected. Except nobody is answering him.

Sam tries to call the numbers listed on the websites of the colleges... but the person who answers is strangely unknowledgeable about the college they represent.

The only college that seems normal about it was the nearby community college. And that somehow feels the least normal about everything.

It was only when he heard his mom complaining that they never heard from family anymore after they moved to Amity that he figured it out.

Containment. Nothing is leaving Amity. No emails, texts, letters, or posts online. Everything was being blocked.

Of course, this sends him on a mission as to why and how. He spends weeks on it. Sam and Danny actually began to become concerned for him. No, this isn't a pride thing, Sam. And yes, he is taking care of himself, Danny.

Technus is the one who gives him the answer. It was just a passing comment about how he needed to funnel through the GIW in order to infect the world. It didn't make sense to any of them because surely that's the last place you would want to do that. But then it dawned on Tucker. That's who has the power needed to do it! That's where he needed to look!

So he hacks into the GIW and is astonished by what he finds.

The anti ecto acts aren't real. There's no laws even acknowledging ghosts.

There's a file on Phantom, marked as 'candidate for X'.

And all he can find on the containment is a name he's seen described as the creator of the GIW and the main supplier of funds.

Amanda Waller.

I know we're in the era of billford but can we talk about how deeply obsessed bill is with Stan right now like holy shit. Bill - Stan parallels have been discussed before I know but like. God it's so interesting. They have so much in common and that makes the way bill talks about him so fucking insane. Bill is pushing so hard that this guy is worthless and he doesn't give a fuck about him so hard and 90% of the shit he's talking about could just as easily be said into a mirror
