This is what @aparticularbandit and her RP blog of Jessica Rabbit has done to me. (Except I didn't discover it at 3am, I discovered it at a normal time.)
Seriously, Timeline Canon is an amazing story. You've got the first half, which covers Jessica's origin story as a toon with a less-than-family-friendly Purpose, and how she meets Roger and leaves the people who hurt her and marries her honey bunny. So far, so positive.
But then you're hit with the second half. Goodness gravy, the second half.
See, Jessica always wanted to be human, because humans have more rights and more freedom than toons. And one day, she gets what she'd wanted, when a genie turns her into a human. But the genie also turns Roger into a rabbit - a real, fluffy, mindless white rabbit. And Jessica will do whatever it takes to get her husband back.
You can check out Toon Jessica's story here on @thecreaminhiscoffee and Human Jessica's story here on @nearlostcauses. Most of the threads and drabbles are on @thecreaminhiscoffee-archive. For more of Bandit's headcanons and explanations of how this world works, there's a helpful starter pack here.
Bandit has a truly captivating writing style. It's atmospheric. It's full of inventive imagery. It sucks you into Jessica's unique way of seeing the world. And the world itself takes Who Framed Roger Rabbit and expands it, delving into the darker implications of toons being discriminated against, while keeping the wonder and fun of imagining cartoons in the real world.
Reading Timeline Canon was an experience unlike anything I've ever read before. It made me smile, and sometimes chuckle. It made me sit back and ponder deep philosophical questions about life, death, love, happiness, and second chances. And it made my eyes water on more than one occasion, especially towards the end. It moved me more than many published novels have managed to do.
(I should pause the effusive praise to note that Timeline Canon wasn't just Bandit's fanfiction - a lot of other roleplayers contributed to making it what it is. I particularly enjoyed the writing style of Willow, a.k.a. @ican-giveyoustars, who played Roger.)
Basically, if you like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit, and having your heart ripped out your chest and torn to pieces (metaphorically speaking), then you'll probably like Timeline Canon!

There’s fanfiction…. And then there’s FANFICTION. The kind of shit you happen upon at like 3am or some other ungodly time because you were trying to find a fix for ur fixation at the time and you are just SUCKED IN and every sentence feels like a line of cocaine and it has quotes and imagery that permeate your brain and it’s the shit that sticks around in your consciousness forever and it never goes away and it’s always going to be one of Those Fics.

okay, hopefully this link works, but i created a new page with updated links - looks the same, but all of these links should work. some of them will not work on the app because they're threads, so that's collaborative exchanges between mostly me and another writer, so the links have /chrono at the end so that you can read them from beginning to end instead of backwards - but for some reason the /chrono links will not work on the app. i don't know why. but they should on a mobile browser! and they definitely do on desktop.
if you want me to fix the links on the second half of the timeline (i think that's the one on nearlostcauses) or the other alternate timeline, let me know and i can fix those, too!
anyway, thanks for checking in with me, and i'm glad you enjoyed the others, and i hope you enjoy these, too!
Yes! It works! I tested a few of the links on desktop and they worked! :-D
And it was a LOT of fun getting to read those stories!
Jessica's mindset, Roger's happy ignorance, their relationship development ... AAH!
I can't think of the best words right now, so you'll have to take that "AAH!" as a sign of my appreciation!
Thank you so much for fixing the links and making this possible! And yeah, the other timelines would be nice to see too - to give me something else to read once I've worked my way through the first timeline. ;-)
Wishing you well!

  …reading old threads and running across the tag...
Yeah that was terrible. I often go back and look at cute moments with Jess and Shadow though. Like when Shadow was turned into a child and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and when Jess clocked him in the head accidentally. They might have been on previous blogs though.
They’re probably on the first blog?  I’ve been reading ones on there and on the nearlostcauses sideblog for her.  Some of the drabbles, too.  I’d completely forgotten about that tag until it showed up at the end of one of those threads.  ...and then I clicked it and looked at the other stuff in the tag like an idiot.  T.T

@aparticularbandit, I know I've blogged about your Jessica Rabbit writing before and how much I love it, but I wanted to reblog this to let you know that I still love it. I still revisit my favourite oneshots and threads from Timeline Canon. It still hits me in the feels.
Plus, I've bern checking out your other works recently (like "Gently Down the Stream", the WandaVision rewrite with America and Viv, and "Oh, Worm", the Danganronpa oneshot) and I just love your writing style!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

reblog to tell the person you reblogged this from that what they create is wonderful

@aparticularbandit I tried to find working links for One More Son and the hollow of your bones, and I think these ones are good? Perhaps you can check they've got all the necessary parts there?
@chrysalis-the-butterfly - The nearlostcauses timeline has now been fixed!
…with two exceptions.  One More Son and The Hollow of Your Bones both still don’t function.  Because even with the handy things I did to fix the others, they didn’t go anywhere, so I…don’t know if the tags are wrong or what.  Sorry!
But the rest should all be fixed and I feel like I should apologize TREMENDOUSLY for how TINY all of that script is.
OKAY IN THE TAGS I MENTION MISSING ALANA STUFF HERE IS MORE OF IT.
AND THE ENDING DRABBLE I ACTUALLY HAD HERE WHOOPS.
