#redcrackle angst

[redxcrackle]

imagine if there was an episode post himalayan rescue caper but pre viennese waltz caper where gray is officially a part of vile but carmen has to steal back the stolen good which makes gray and carmen enemies now (not willingly) LIKE IMAGINE THE ANGSTTTTT

Hi! (Sorry I haven’t responded, I have been traveling :P )

Ughbdjsbsbs the angst would be crazzyy!!!

It would come up in every convo/arguement! Carmen and Gray would be like mid-chase/fight like

stop trying to stop us, you know I don’t wanna hurt you. THEN WHY DO YOU GO BACK YOUR LIFE WAS PERFECT GRAY, I don’t wanna be doing this either.

But the pouty eyes and touches and maybe flirty teasing and snarky remarks. Ahhh but overall they would be like so sad that they are on the other side. Gray would feel guilty when he sees her, almost like a lingering thought. Carmen would get smitten and become very persuasive to get him back.

(from gray’s pov)

“GRAY!”

I’m fiddling with the electricity supply, barely managing to place the final touches before I get wrapped up in a bear hug. My heart skips a beat at the familiar voice, and from the corner of my eye, I see the familiar lump of curly auburn hair and register the scent of rose-scented perfume I know all too well. The wetness on my coat is surprising.

“Carmen?” I break the hug, staring into her blue-grey eyes, and they are slightly swollen and red, “you’re crying.”

Oh gosh. I messed up. 

“I know… I just… I thought you were gone…” the last of her sentence becomes an inaudible murmur as she sobs and lets out a soft hiccup.

“Why are you here?” I try not to sound too condescending, and the straight look of Shadowsan appears in my head. I instantly feel scared.

Her face falls in five seconds, and I’d feel guilty if I didn’t hear what she says next, “My team dragged me here.” I grip onto her bare hand as she buries her face into my chest, and my heart flutters to seventh heaven. But at the same time, I can tell that she’s more closed off than usual, and I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Zack and Ivy are probably whispering somewhere, Shadowsan is probably judging me, and Player is probably on video call listening in to this conversation.

So I better not screw anything up.

“You seem quiet. What’s going on? Are you okay?”

“I don’t know how to say this but I… I… I love you.” the confession nearly goes unheard, but I manage to catch it amidst the whir of the air-conditioning, and it’s then I realise that most of the men who work here have stopped in their tracks, staring at us, and the chatting crowd outside has partially gone silent. I try my best to ignore it.

Did she just…?

Oh god, she just did. What do I say back? How’ll she react? Will it be bad or good? Somewhere in the back of my mind, I hear the two Boston siblings giggling, and I do my best to shake the thought out of my head.

“I love you too, and–” I manage the best and most reassuring smile I can, only to have the remaining words die on my tongue when I feel a tug on my coat, followed by her lips on mine. I don’t know what to do for a second as I hear my heart pound in my chest and feel the blood rushing through my ears.

She’s kissing me.

My first kiss with the most beautiful girl in the world is great.

I can’t think straight, and I’m left stunned.

But it is kind of nice, actually.

I let my eyes slip shut, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her closer as I run a hand through her auburn locks. The world seemingly stops rotating as if frozen in time. It’s not like the kissing scenes in movies, but just something new, something that I haven’t gone through, even with my first girlfriend.

Heaven. Sheer heaven.

Heaven is what it is.

As we pull away, my hands moving to grip hers, I open my eyes, and it’s then that I register what’s going on in the real world. My male colleagues are standing, frozen in shock, one of them yelling, “YOU GO, GRAY!” while the rest blend in with the ocean of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, some staring at me with what I perceive as envy in their eyes. Carmen’s crew has moved forward– Zack and Ivy are filming the entire thing and snickering, Player has his jaw slack from what I see on Carmen’s phone, and Shadowsan has his eyes widened as he’s chewing on something that looks like a Snickers bar.

I can hear whispers washing through the crowd, like ‘have you seen the look in his eyes whenever he mentions her? You should’ve seen the sparkle in them. That’s true love there’ and ‘this is Grammy-class romance here. I’m filming this for my Instagram’. Shadowsan is now uttering something that sounds like ‘Carmen is officially not single anymore.’, the last of his Snickers bar gone; and Zack is literally screaming at a volume so loud the security guards at the other end of the country could probably hear him, “OH MY GOSH! THEY KISSED! THIS WILL MAKE GOOD CONTENT FOR THE KIDS!”

Shadowsan, please, PLEASE don’t kill me. The last thing I want is to be at the hands of a sharp knife as he hurls profanities at me.

“Well done, Carm,” Ivy walks over, putting her hand on her shoulder, “you two are officially a couple now.”

Her cheeks turn crimson, and I can’t help but make the association.

La femme rouge.

“So…” I speak up, “you want to… go out on a date with me?”

redcrackle are so batcat-core if you get it you get it, I just love thieves x heroes who would die and drop everything for each other with a huge helping of angst

[callowayrat]

in the writing mood but i dont wanna write hm rn Ummmm help

[silkoodles]

HIII I saw your part in the free Carmen fanzine and I’ve got to say, I loved it 😭 are you planning to do more / continue it?

a confrontation from Carmen or Carmen following him around to scope him out would be funny (and depressing) af LMAO and I do love my angst 🤧

oh also, I was wondering if you shipped redcrackle / carjulia or whatnot? I feel like I’ve heard you say something about either but can’t find it anywhere !!

anyways, either way, I love your art and hope you have a nice day :3

thank you! Im glad you liked it! I'll probably post the comic here after some time has passed since the zines available

I do want to continue it. I actually have had a fic idea about what happens after the Carmen Sandiego ending, involving her mother, and this comic was an introduction to that idea. But I have fog brain and as a beginner writer I'm not used to writing regularly so im very slow. I'm working on that though so I thank people’s patience.

And i try and tag everything, including asks, as #carmen sandiego fyi.

I do ship redcrackle and I do like carjulia but i dont actively ship it. I see Carmen as bi, so. My whole thing here is drawing random ships that may be out of pocket for some people but ship a lot of ships ive drawn at least once and some ive havent drawn yet

[callowayrat]

Are gray and carmen not actually gonna get together in your fic :(?

everything works out in the end, don’t worry!! unless..

i warn you tho, it’s gonna take a while lol :3 me and mlmebomb have like.. at LEAST 10+ more chapters of angst planned out 😭 there’s gonna be a LOT of plot haha, buckle up!

i might write a fluffy little one shot before i finish this fic/before writing my next redcrackle one tho
