It was a quiet, slow day at the Vigata City police station. That, however, did nothing to put its officers at ease.

9 People You Want to Know Better

I was tagged by @starscribes here and @lordfenric-writes over here! I shall tag... @kyuponstories @cool-mint @teresashiho @raichana @aptericia @mister-writes @reneethegreatandpowerful @vellatra @blazlngblade

Current Book I'm Reading: I kinda flit between a few so...

Marked to Die by Sarah Hawkswood (Bradecote & Catchpoll, book 3) Shroud for the Archbishop by Peter Tremayne (Sister Fidelma, book 2) Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo Beneath the Pyramid by Christian Jacq Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher, book 1)

Last Song I Listened To: Giga-P - Childish War (おこちゃま戦争)

Which is almost unfair, because I have been listening to a LOT of rock music, like Dynazty, Ad Infinitum & Visions of Atlantis. (fav songs linked)

Currently Watching: Again, I like to flit from thing to thing so...

Maigret (the 1960's one) Kojak Father Brown Inspector Montalbano (Italian)

Current Fic I'm Reading: Nah, don't read 'em.

Next On My Watch List: A few things, again...

The Name of the Rose The Pillars of the Earth Sharpe Murder, She Wrote

Current Obsession: Ah, yeah... it's The Witcher again. My sister's playing Witcher 2 and it's just reminding my why I love the world all over again. It's got me going back to the books and I'll be lucky if I don't get dragged into playing Thronebreaker for, like, the fifth time. I'm also (always) madly devoted to my own writing and I can't switch my brain off. It's always like "hey, that's a neat idea" and "oh, write down this line of dialogue" -- always.

Next day, Isabella had a somewhat unexpected guest. Mary-Sue showed up to take her up on the offer she made a while ago.

Mary-Sue: I don't want to sound like a horrible grandmother, but I'm still working full-time and I can't exactly take care of an infant right now. Not without help in the house.

Isabella: Oh, you don't have to excuse yourself to me. I will gladly take care of little Luca.

Mary-Sue: Is it really not a problem? I know you're all alone here now and it's a small child.

Isabella: Darling, I was a mother of 3 and pretty much raised my grandsons. I think I will be fine watching over a baby for some time.

Other than Mary-Sue's visit, the day wasn't any more eventful than the previous one. After scolding her grandson over the phone, Isabella spent the rest of the evening watching Inspector Montalbano.

Il Commissario Ricciardi looks really good (an inspector as can see ghosts, basically, in I think the 1930s. 20th c but not wartime) but I remember about 3 words of Italian total (tho I have watched a lot of Montalbano, that was during lockdown, and it's been over a decade now since my Level 1 NVQ Business-Italian-specifically-for-some-reason) and I'm not sure I've the brain for subtitles today

Well I've managed 5 minutes in, I'll keep going

AU masterpost to keep myself (and everyone else) from getting lost

So since apparently I can't stop creating New Things, I thought I could compile a comprehensive list of all tags and links to keep within reach for a change ✨I'll make sure to update it as I post more/already existing stuff grows content-wise

(Actual list under the cut obviously)

Once Upon A Time AUs

Thousand Problems Verse: The AU where Geppetto never sent his son through the wardrobe and Pinocchio was therefore hit by the curse like everyone else, destined to deal with his fairytale-esque issues alongside the more mundane ones you'd expect from a Storybrooke teenager.

Series on Ao3 - Tumblr main tag - Pinocchio's friends tag - Grace's clique tag - Parents tag

Ever After Storybrooke: OUAT/Ever After High fusion where the EAH protagonists are the children of the OUAT fairytale characters instead. Cedar Wood focused.

Tumblr tag

Stray Saplings: Originally an offshoot of the Pinocchio Swap, where every version of Pinocchio inexplicably switched universe overnight, now a self-indulgent take on August having to navigate being the (gasp) responsible adult for a few of his most traumatized counterparts

Tumblr tag

Appalachian Wine: Eliana is the Blue Fairy's biological daughter, but more importantly, she's August's older sister, and that doesn't bode well for anyone - especially her mother.

Tumblr main tag (with storyline fics) - Eliana tag

TMNT AUs

Shaking The Latch: 2003/Rise crossover where freshly mutated Lou Jitsu falls into the 2003 TMNT universe with his very young sons and gets to meet four more of them (older, brasher and way too enthusiastic about babysitting), plus himself 2.0 (and isn't that the scariest prospect).

Ao3 link - Tumblr tag

Sonic AUs

Salvector AU: Italian classic Inspector Montalbano, but with Sonic characters. Chief of Vigata City police Vector has to investigate the bizarre murder of Dr Starline, even after all suspects seem to fall on the scientist's uncommon ward.

Ao3 link - Tumblr tag

Belle & The Gang: Instead of taking Belle back to the Restoration HQ after rescuing her, the Chaotix take her in. Disaster ensues, but maybe there's space for some healing, too.

Series on Ao3

Miscellanea AUs

Frater Meus (Lies of P videogame): Post Real Boy ending. Carlo, recently resurrected, uses his influence to bring Romeo and P back to his side, one angry but uncertain about the best course of action, the other in a shape that suits the nature of his original creation - a scared child who got his heart ripped out. In a city still in shambles, with a son that aches for his younger brother, Geppetto really should sleep with an eye open.

Series on Ao3

Sunset/Spring (Pokemon Legends Arceus): Akari, the girl from the future, is not half-grown and capable of pulling her own weight, but a small child with no memory whose presence cannot be explained. Just what is Arceus' plan, exactly?

Series on Ao3

Signs (Disney Descendants): Lampwick finds his way back to Pinocchio before the Isle of the Lost is sealed, and they build their own family from then on, old grudges be damned.

Series on Ao3

Baby Cedar & Uncle Wick (Ever After High): Cedar Wood's childhood and growth, surrounded by a doting grandfather, a protective father and a "friend" of her father's who is not always the best of influences.

Series on Ao3 - Tumblr ficlet #1 - Tumblr ficlet #2
