Trick or Treat

i was going to give you a screenshot from the zombie fic but that's already published so instead you get writing from like maybe 2 or 3 years ago? from a witch hat atelier idea i had

basically the idea i had was that a howls moving castle fan gets isekaid into the body of a small child in wha named maddock who followed some witches into a forest of silverwood trees and got found out, then erased his memory.

they aren't born into a family of witches, so they decide to be a doctor instead BUT their modern medical knowledge gets them chased out cause they live in a very small town and after training under the town doctor (cinerea, but i gotta change her name cause ive mixed around the n and the r way too many times) for not that long they suddenly know how to read and write like royalty and also act like they aged an extra twenty years. maybe they get accused of learning the secret of magic? not sure.

anyways they instead become a toymaker that basically embodies everything howl movingcastle (even using howl's name cause "maddock" is a wanted fugitive) and build up their business making toys (tho later on when they can afford it, they crochet mostly because its very easy and they probably did it before being isekaid). they run into qifrey and beldaruit who purchase a toy, qifrey ends up returning a few times to have it fixed or something and eventually brings olruggio. cue friendship. orufrey canon, no i do not accept criticism.

some time passes and maddock ends up being a cool uncle for the kids at the atelier, etc etc, i think eventually he gets found out and interrogated? maybe he gets put in the prison cell that one guy busts out of by killing his cellmate and has to watch that happen, and he escapes and sees qifrey and coco?

that's exactly where wha was at when i read it and i have NOT kept up, so that's as far as i can get. i never wrote it because i really prefer things be complete before i write fics for them (tho sometimes i have no respect for canon and ignore that, like with bnha)

i do also think that maddock would try to study magic as much as he can, and that he'd be immune to further mind wipes because he's Special. i have some self indulgence ideas i like to think abt from time to time where coco discovers that maddock knows how to use magic in a life-or-death scenario, and another one where maddock has to pretend to have his memory erased while also not having the patience since he has a whole business to run.

(just realized i started this post w maddock as a they but he ended it a he. maddock is definitely a he and i think the person he was before he isekaid was at least masc-aligned.)
