Prompt 12 - Moving Staricases

@wolfstarmicrofic November 12, word count 643

Previous part First part

Sirius had expected to walk out onto the street outside the joke shop. What he hadn’t expected was to be at the top of eight flights of moving staircases that looked very much like the standard ones in his parents' castle.  

He teetered on the edge of the very top, unable to get his balance back and resigning himself to tumbling down the hard marble steps, but at the last second, Remus lunged forward and grabbed the back of Hagrid’s coat with his teeth and yanked Sirius to safety.

“Thanks, Remus,” Sirius blew out a breath as adrenaline pumped through his body. “That would have hurt,”

More cautiously, this time they leaned over the railing to see what they were dealing with. It seemed simple enough, walk down the staircases and time it perfectly to walk onto the next one. Sirius leaned over further and spotted a wooden door right at the bottom. Yup, that seemed to be the right idea. “Shall we?” He asked Remus, sweeping his arm out as an invitation to get started. 

The second they stood on the first set of stairs, they knew it wasn’t going to be as easy as they’d thought. The stairs began moving faster than the slow swing they had been doing.

The first staircase wasn’t too hard; they easily walked onto the next landing before the stairs moved away. But again, as soon as they stepped onto the next, they sped up. Sirius calculated that by the time they reached the bottom, it would be nigh on impossible to achieve. 

They’d managed four, and Sirius was sweating from how hard he was concentrating. Remus easily bounded onto the landing, but he was having trouble, he just wasn’t quick enough. He was exhausted from all the other trials and had spent the majority of his remaining reserves of strength battling their way out of those insane teacups.

By the sixth staircase, Sirius had had enough. He was out of breath, and his legs ached so much he couldn’t take another step. “I’m sorry, Remus,” He gasped. “I need a minute,” But the longer he stopped, the faster the staircases seemed to be going. Remus began whining at him, nudging his side with his massive head, urging him to get up. With a loud groan, Sirius hauled himself to his feet and placed a foot on the first step of the next set of stairs, which was exactly the moment the top set of stairs began to crumble and fall to the floor below. The next followed seconds after. “QUICK!!!” Sirius shouted to Remus, running as fast as his poor body could manage. 

It wasn’t enough. He missed the next landing and ended up hanging off it, his legs dangling into empty space. “Shit!” He yelped as the staircase came swinging back over. If he didn’t get himself up now, he’d be crushed. Remus’s massive head filled his vision as, for the second time in so many minutes, the Grim grabbed Sirius’s clothing and dragged him to safety. “I can’t do it, Remus,” Sirius told the soul, defeatedly. “They’re going too fast. You go. Win your freedom,” Sirius turned to look at the crumbling stairs. They were getting closer, only one set between them. 

Suddenly, his legs were being forced apart, and he slid back over Remus's head and onto his back. The Grim growled at him, the only warning before he took off. 

Remus had been holding back. Sirius grasped handfuls of Remus’s soft fur, and Remus raced across the next set of stairs, leaping an enormous bound onto the final set of steps, foregoing the next landing completely and flew down the last set of steps, jumping off them onto the ground floor and battering his way through the door just as the rubble of the last set of stairs fell behind them.

headcanon that alfred does not know what to get bruce for his birthday anymore, the man literally basically has everything. So, whenever he finds something that Bruce has lost, he hold onto it, and gifts it back. Everytime, Bruce is like “omg alfred, where did you find this?? Its been missing forever thank you ur the best”

nobody says anything whether they figure it out or not

Fortunately, the BOOTH re-emerged from hyperspace just in the nick of time.

But, the Inspector had a decision to make: Which Mona was his? It had to be the lack of teeth that he picked up on that led him to realise that the Unthing posing as Mona wasn’t truly her.

I tell every client the same thing because one day it might stick. Withholding information from the bull you hired is like tapping your neurosurgeon on the shoulder and handing him a sledgehammer. Sure, the job will get done. But now we've got a hot mess on our hands.

We don't talk enough about the fact that Amelia Pond, s5 Amelia Pond, before the timeline is reset, isn't just a normal orphan. Her parents didn't die, didn't abandon her, and didn't send her away. They never existed in the first place.

And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.

"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.

A child.

Now that's too big, surely.

But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.

And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.

In normal circumstances.

Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.

No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.

And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.

But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.

"Does it ever bother you Pond that your life existence doesn't make any sense?"

Because of this post reminding me about the Bad Kidz Parent Polycule, I present to you the Bad Kidz Family Cluster.

[ID: A family tree of all the Bad Kidz and their parents using the updated official art. In the top right corner, Gorgug has a solid green line connecting him and Roz and Gorbag. A dotted green line connects him and Digby and Wilma. Roz, Gorbag, Digby, and Wilma are connected by a solid black line with a question mark below it.

Below that, The Applebees are connected to Kristen, Bucky, Bricker, and Cork by solid green lines. Kristen and Tracker are connected by a solid pink line with a red X crossed through it.

Tracker is connected to "Unknown Parents" by a solid green line. "Unknown Parents" is connected to Jawbone by a solid blue line, and Tracker and Jawbone are connected by a dotted green line with a question mark above it. Adaine is connected to Jawbone by a dotted green line, and Aelwyn is connected to Adaine by a solid blue line.

Jawbone and Sandra Lynn are connected by a pink line. Sandra Lynn and Gorthalax are connected by a pink line with a red X crossed through it, and Fig is connected to them by a solid green line. Gorthalax and Sklonda are connected by a pink line with a question mark below it. Sklonda and Pok are connected by a purple line that is bisected by the skull and crossbones emoji. Riz is connected to them by a solid green line.

Sandra Lynn and Gilear are connected by a purple line with a red X crossed through it. Gilear and Fig are connected by a dotted green line, and he and Hallariel are connected by a pink line. Hallariel and Bill are connected by a purple line that's bisected by a skull and crossbones emoji. Fabian is connected to them by a solid green line, and Fabian and Fig are connected by a dotted blue line. End ID]

Green means parents/children, Blue means siblings, Pink means dating, and Purple means marriage. Dotted lines mean non-biological. The black line means I have no idea what the Thistlesprings and Roz and Gorbag have going on.

I wasn't sure if Gorthalax and Sklonda are actually dating so I put a question mark, and I wasn't sure if Jawbone actually adopted Tracker or was just letting her live with him. Regardless, here's the full family tree. I hope it gets worse <3 thanks for your time.
