(i got an error message when i first tried to send this, so if you got a similar ask before you turned off anon just ignore this one)

hi it’s kidfic anon again except the kidfic has turned into a politics-heavy season 2 rewrite/fix-it. it’s like i blinked and it got taken over by political subplots. i originally got the idea for this after watching act 1, so that influenced things based on where i thought the show was going. but after having the time to fully digest the rest of s2 i’ve decided to ignore most of that. like i expected it to be a tragedy but not in a way that did all my faves dirty?? and i hate how handled the political angle in s2—like i s2g they sent mel to the shadow realm just so they could avoid getting into it. idk if i’m going to give everyone happy endings or just make the suffering actually satisfying, but there will be major politicking regardless.

also, the kid in question was originally adopted because that’s what made the most sense for the timeline and i could make it work thematically, but then we got the empath reveal and like… something about mel (unknowingly) raising an empath child before learning about her own powers, and the difference between an empath raised in an emotionally supportive environment vs whatever ambessa was doing?? it fits so well into themes of generational trauma and cycles of violence i already have going on. however, the kid needs to be able to read and like, have opinions, by s1 act 2 for narrative reasons and i don’t want to cut too much into meljay’s pining. so i’ve had this conundrum. then i remembered ambessa’s line about choosing between children. so. they might have two kids now?

Hello lovely!

Safe to say, I am INVESTED. I do love political intrigue, its like kryptonite to me, so do be sure to link when you finish! The idea of Mel's child being so intuitive towards her emotions.... delicious. I mean, for the timing, if Mel and Jayce pined over each other for a year or two in timeskip, you would have about 5 solid years, which means the child would be capable of reading! Also, would both of her children be empaths, or just the one? And would her child discover their powers before she does? Or will Mel discover her powers in relation to the children? Honestly, its whatever you want to do! The world is your oyster, and I'm ready for you to hurt me with the angst. <3

i’m too sleepy to rlly think of anything good to say… it’s been ages since we’ve actually talked but <3

haiiii it hasss discord is alwayz open if u wanna talk <333

[ilpanettone]

[fagderolo]

kin assigning you edgar from woe.begone

no clue what this means but thank you

[rhapsodyinviridescentgold]

hi i need you to know that i read 3/4 of your fic in one sitting and now i’m considering writing my own mgime fic nevermind the fact i Do Not have time for that and don’t really enjoy creative writing in the first place. you’ve inflicted this upon me. anyway i think it would be really funny to have a novelist oc because like. imagine being stuck in a fantasy universe and it isn’t even the one you created.

also idk how to word this exactly but your ideas are so good?? like the concept and execution is absolutely immaculate and i am in awe. you only shared a little bit about that other fic idea with the dnd type magic but i just know i’m going to be thinking about it for the rest of the week.

hi!!!! i love to hear that you have your own mgime in mind!!! even if you never write something for it, it's also so fair to just have fun thinking up wacky scenarios they can get into! a fic can be just a discord chat between friends, or into the void <3 the novelist oc is such a good idea!!! i can already imagine them being like "oh shit! elves! oh man i know exactly how to act" and the commits like 10 different faux pas when interacting with them. or realizing that no one invented padded seating cushions for carriages and grumbling the whole time that in the world THEY made, this wouldn't be a problem because they have padded seats AND suspension. i'm absolutely gleeful thinking about it. please feel free to send me more ideas if you have them!!!

and thank you for saying so! i really like expanding on already established worlds and poking and proding at them and thinking through what i could reasonably extend and extrapolate from them. or flipping the script and just adding the most ridiculous tropes to see what springs from it. i'm glad you like the dnd one! i'm a huge dnd fan so i've got oodles of characters ready to go whenever. i've actually already written a few chapters for it, but i'm being a good author and not publishing it until i finish NGCS lol. recently i had the idea of an mgime from a modern world like ours, except it's ABO and she's a ridiculously protective alpha (or omega) who's so confused why none of her new pack (the nine walkers) want to sleep in the nest she's so kindly made for them!!! the shenanigans would be hilarious. cultural misunderstandings everywhere.

anyways!!! feel free to chat with me about mgime ideas any time you'd like!! i love ocs so much bc they challenge canon in ways a canon character never could and it's always a delight to see what people come up with

also i love your username!!! mercutio my beloved <3 :')

[sporesdruid]

hi it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that you’re you and not just some random guy that followed me <3 i spent so long like “ah the vibes here are familiar” before i put two and two together. it’s like my basic reasoning skills took a sabbatical. also i’m sorry if the tone is weird it is 5am but i wanted to send you this before i forgot again.

<33 I can be just some guy again. for you.

My dearest friend,

I’ve returned from a long work trip and I am rather exhausted, however as soon as I am well again we should meet and I’ll discuss with you all my findings (and do my best not to bore you.)

I’ve been told of the many ways Mr Hyde has been a nuisance to you but I am very excited to meet your cat Mercutio, that is if Edward hasn’t stolen it already.

Sincerely, Dr H.Jekyll

Hello Jekyll,

I am delighted to receive this ask from you. I would love to meet with you soon— nothing compares to the time we spend together. I cannot wait to hear of your trip. You could never bore me, Harry, even if you described grass growing in detail.

I eagerly await your visit.

Yours,

G.J. Utterson

(ID: user @m-ercutios​ commented: what’s this about luke danes and eliot spencer? god i’m a sucker for niche crossover)

OKAY SO @hawkguyhasstarbucks​ and I have a whole vague interconnected universe where all our fave characters vaguely know each other. And I think we settled on ‘Luke’s dad owned a hardware store, Eliot’s dad owned a hardware store, clearly they were brothers(-in law?) and Eliot and Luke are cousins’.

They have the Plaid, they have the Grumpy attitude, they try to keep their loved ones from eating only Garbage, they are totes related.

(Also, Jake Stone from The Librarians is Eliot’s younger brother, obviously.)

Which leads to: the Leverage team could lie low in Stars Hollow and not attract any attention whatsoever no matter what they do. It’s a town full of weirdos. They have a Kirk, you think Parker’s gonna stand out? (Unless she stabs someone, and then, depending on the someone, Babette would be like: good for you honey, was that man bothering you?)

Lorelai and Rory would be delighted and pump Eliot for Embarrassing Young Luke Stories. Sophie and Miss Patty 100% know each other in some capacity.

Hardison would be mildly allergic to the white, oddly wholesome wifilessness of it all, but soon get caught up in the gossip and the delight of a town hall meeting.

        Mercutio is someone I both greatly enjoy the company of and feel like I don’t completely understand. He has the eyes of someone who’s seen it all at least once, which is both very attractive and kind of lonely. He’s a very intelligent man, very charismatic, but also has a sharp sense of humor. I wonder how many people have fallen for him, especially considering he has the looks to match... Well, anyway, we’re not particularly close, but I’d love to get to know him better, if he’d let me. I could offer him my shoulder, in more ways than one.

when aiden came home, soon he discovered mercutio has pASSED aWAY AND I SWEAR I CRIED.

[gabrieluttersonsuggestions]

Good morning, my friend,

In case you haven't noticed, I have stolen your cat. Don't worry, I'm not going to cook him in a spit. However, I do wish to talk with you before Dr. Jekyll does.

I will return your cat Mercutio then.

Good day Mr. Utterson,

Sincerely, Mr. Edward Hyde

Oh dear lord, what do you want?

@m-ercutios

"haunting the narrative" is one of those phrases i wanna put up on a shelf. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that haunt the narrative are dead.
