Man I really think the only reason Pantheon isn't more popular on here is because there isn't a hot age appropriate guy to ship Caspian with and tumblr hates women

[angst-and-fajitas]

If it's not too late for a request, could I mayhaps ask for a crumb of Maddapian? Possibly featuring some Dave, at any age? Already clapping like a seal in anticipation btw becuase I know the art shall be *chef's kiss* IMACCULATE

VORPAL THANK U FOR BEING PATIENT!! I COULDNT DO THIS HALFWAY

RAAAUGGHHG THEY COULDVE BEEN A FAMILY!!!!! 💖💖💖🥹😭

Maddie and Caspian trying to do the "couples nail polish matches their partners eye color" thing but they both have brown eyes XD *cries*

Pantheon really is the "brown eyes supremacy" show huh?? as an artist who discovered they really really like drawing brown eyes, I see this as an absolute win

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here!!

WAAAUUUGGH someone on AO3 wrote a chapter in their one-shot collection based off my dumb meme and it's REALLY REALLY SWEET

Go LOOK AT IT https://archiveofourown.org/works/62142046/chapters/160526179

Pantheon sketchpage 3, made from requests sourced from the discord. This one went wildly off the rails, as you might be able to tell by buff safesurf and saddam hussein cody

Emma's Pantheon fic list (literally everything I'm working on)

COMPLETE

• The Nightbus

Canon-Compliant one-shot which takes place within the ending of s2 ep 3, elaborating on Caspian's POV of their first kiss.

• it's about who you leave behind

One-shot, Canon-Compliant, angsty fic about Maddie and Dave and grief, taking place 16 years into the 20 year timeskip, between season 2 ep 6 and ep 7.

IN PROGRESS

• Iterations

XL one-shot, technically Canon Compliant? Told from the POV of Maddie within the Dyson sphere, as she observes three different simulations where things turn out different but not necessarily better: one where David Kim doesn't get cancer, one where MIST doesn't save them in the data center, and one where she backs up and reboots Caspian after his death. Tragedy-heavy. Estimated 12,000 words approx at completion, but I'm trying to slim it down.

• The Miracle of Backups

Longfic diving fully into that simulation AU in which Maddie makes a backup of Caspian before his fight without telling him, then reboots him after his death. Covers their relationship throughout the following 20 years, all the highs and lows of love and tragedy and the conflicts between their two worlds. My outlines currently estimate 45 chapters and roughly 150,000 word count at completion.

These two together are my magnum opus, I've been working on them since July! I have 35k down already. As soon as Iterations is ready to post, I'll start posting my finished chapters of tMoB alongside it.

• No Sleep Till London: collection of missing-scene Maddspian ficlets taking place between s2 ep 3 and 4, within those missing one to two weeks between DC and London. Pure mutual-pining fluff basically. Kinda a sequel to The Nightbus?

• shorter, angsty canon-compliant multichapter thing taking place during Caspian's season 1 homeless arc. Kinda a character study?

FUTURE IDEAS

• alt version of the first half of s2 ep8, in which Caspian DOES get to talk to Dave before everything goes to hell

I'll update this post as things evolve. I just wanted a reference space for my plans, because I've literally only talked to one friend about it

[angst-and-fajitas]

Sorry if ur not doing request anymore but can you please write something for Maddie and caspian and their son I beg of you. There’s no fanfiction in this fandom 🥺 and ur writing is so good

I should probably make it clear real quick that I don't do writing requests, BUT anon you are in LUCK, because I will gladly use this as an opportunity to PLUG MY LONGFIC WIP!!

May I introduce you to...."The Miracle of Backups"!!!

It has exactly what you're asking for: lots of Maddie and Caspian and Dave!! Lots of Maddspian, Kim-Keyes family fluff, and...some crushing angst too. Because that's how I roll 💖

Here's the summary:

"Unbeknownst to Caspian, Maddie makes a backup of his upload just before his fight with Holstrom. After he dies in the battle, she resurrects him. This does not solve their problems." "A chronicling of twenty years of love and loss shared by one small, damaged family amid a changing world."

So basically, this is a canon-divergence plot where nothing changes aside from the fact that Caspian gets resurrected from backup immediately following the end of episode 6. This immediately sparks another massive existential crisis for our boy, but ultimately means that he gets to live through that whole 20 years he would've otherwise missed. The fic will follow the entire 20 years of this AU, and will probably be around 45 chapters long. I have the whole thing outlined!

Features: digital first dates! the utter chaos of surprise teen pregnancy! A more focused and thorough exploration of human-UI politics! Maddie and Caspian being loving parents!! No one going to therapy even though they really need it! (eventually) Maddspian Marriage! Cool aunt Justine!

Anyways, I'm being silly here, but I'm intending this to be a very serious fic, and my approach to it is staunchly to keep it grounded in Pantheon's themes and Ken Liu's ideas, and in how the characters would realistically handle such a situation, with all the messiness that entails. Lots of love, lots of loss, and lots of messy relationships. It's pretty important that people be aware that this is not a fix-it fic at all.

Anyways again! Dave himself doesn't show up for several chapters, but what I have here for YOU, anon, who is so very kind, is an excerpt from a chapter in the middle of the fic, at around the 10 year mark.

Context: Maddie and her engineering team have just completed the first full version of the upload androids we see in s2 ep7 and 8. Now that they have to beta test it, Caspian is, inevitably, her first choice for this. The Kim family heads to the Logorythms HQ to go see Caspian in the flesh for the first time in 10 years.

Final disclaimer: things will be edited as I start posting the story (SOON...), and the final version may end up different from this one! this is just a fun sneak peak :)

I just have to say, thank you for being an oasis of Pantheon content. I just finished binging it last night after finding it by accident. I’m clawing at the walls for content and fandom to engage with, and there’s so little available (and even less Maddspian content, my heart is aching). I’m so happy there’s at least a few people who are excited about this story enough to talk it about it!

AWWWW dude I'm so glad you're enjoying it here!! And I VERY much know exactly how you feel, I wish so bad this show was more well known so we had more people to talk about it with! I'm so in love with the story and it's characters, so you can rest assured that I'll keep talking about it and making stuff!!

[angst-and-fajitas]

Hi! Do you know what the ship between Caspian Keyes and Maddie Kim is called?

Hey there!! There's some debate about what people like to call it, but I call it Maddspian, and it seems like a majority of people do too

[teacup-of-candlelight]

AHHHHHH *screaming crying throwing up* it's even better than I imagined!! And so in character omg. I love them. Also YES! Pantheon went so hard on the beautiful brown eyes and we love to see it.
