☔ for the ask game!

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

hm i think i've already shared/talked about most of the high concept ones that i don't actually think i'll write, but i do have a roytrent (or quasi roytrent, i hadn't decided if they'd be endgame although it was likely, but it was still largely about them interacting) au with roy in a time loop. i've actually got several time loop fics i love a good time loop

this one in particular though i had a few specific scenes in mind that basically was like. roy is kind of going nuts in the time loop (the fic takes place when he's already tried all the basic stuff; also generally pre-ted/canon) and is now just kind of fucking around at the apathy stage of coping because nothing matters and time is fake and he decides on an angry random whim to try and seduce trent crimm for some hate sex and see what happens only to accidentally get to know him for real but like. it's a time loop. so on one hand, roy's a lot more reckless and less worried about being vulnerable because he feels like it doesn't matter: crimm can't remember and won't tell anyone because he literally can't. on the other hand, any progress he makes is erased at the end of the loop (which currently in the idea doc is a week long), even once roy starts to get to know him for real. the worst part is roy realizing that once he starts to actually like crimm (horror upon horrors) that it's actually way less of a challenge then it should be to get him to open up, not because roy's gotten to know him that well but because it takes a shockingly small amount of time to get through to him if roy's doing it with actual sincerity. the first time roy gets trent crimm to smile at him for real, all bright and crinkly and lopsided--breathtakingly sincere and horribly earnest--he. kind of feels like throwing up. for like, a lot of reasons, especially because trent isn't going to remember this, is he.

anyway in theory it's mostly about roy breaking through the apathy and dealing with some Time Loop Shit + probably some chapters from a very confused trent-of-that-loop's pov, but i hadn't figured out an ending (i have several time loop aus, though mostly tedtrent, and i might have stolen a similar ending from those tbh) and also it didn't quite come together the way i wanted or feel cohesive enough. like i think i'd need to do more on roy's character and backstory to make it really work--how does roy deal with being in a time loop? but it was also supposed to be largely focused on roy and trent's relationship/dynamic late into this time loop stuff rather than the general concept of "roy kent in a time loop" if that makes sense. idk man. roytrent timeloop
