If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.

Hello! In chapter 6 of Crocodile Tears you mentioned that you came up with a way for Neal to have pulled off the switch. I would love to know the specifics if you remember them :D

Hello!!! This is so cool :D It blows my mind that anyone actually cares, so thank you so much for asking!

Okay, first of all, disclaimer: I have no practical experience with sleight of hand, this is all my imagination. That being said, I did read a handful of magic books as a kid, so this isn't coming completely out of nowhere.

The main idea is that the lens of the jeweler's loupe reflects light in a similar way to the crystal. The switch would go like this: he examines the lotus by holding it in his left hand and the jeweler’s loupe in his right hand. When he’s done with the jeweler’s loupe, he fakes switching the items between his hands, actually just palming the lotus in his left and covering most of the jeweler's loupe with his right, so that all you see is a bit of light reflecting off the glass to make it look like the lotus is now in his right hand. Then, he pulls the swap in his left pocket while pretending to put the loupe away, keeping the lotuses hidden the whole time. Finally, he holds up the fake lotus with both hands, hiding the transfer of the loupe from right to left and also hiding the fact that the lotus was in his left hand to begin with. He then moves the fake lotus away with his right hand to “catch the light” and uses that as a distraction to cover the action of his left hand putting away the loupe for real. He says the cue line to signal the team to activate the car alarm, and the rest is history.

Hope that made sense lol. I haven't revisited Crocodile Tears in a while, this was a nice nostalgia trip. Oh, and here's a link to the chapter in question if anyone wants context XD

Okay you can’t tell me that Vlad doesn’t have an organ somewhere in his mansion. Upon learning of this, Danny would teach himself how to play the Haunted Mansion theme on the organ and play it at 2am.

Vlad Masters is away on business in Gotham, and the Fentons are coincidentally there for a symposium on ecto-activity. So it’s perfect! Except he goes to the wrong house, er mansion.

Honestly, Danny thought it was one of Vlad’s many mansions. Scaring the old man is his favorite activity after all. There’s a higher amount of ectoplasm here, so it has to be Vlad’s place right?

When Bruce comes out (on one of his few nights off) and sees his carbon copy playing the organ, all thoughts fly out of his head. Danny finally looks up and also blue screens. They stare at each other for what feels like an eternity until Danny’s cell phone rings (the ghostbusters theme??) and he panics. He jumps up and makes a break for the other door rushing through apologies “SorryWronghousegottagobye!” And runs out of the room. “Wait! Who are you?”Bruce exclaims as he rushes after him. They’re on the second story in one of the rooms he rarely uses. How did he know where the organ was? No matter. He’ll catch the kid on the stairs.

Except the kid is already almost at the bottom. How did he get down so effortlessly? The kid practically floated down the stairs.

Bruce gets to the foyer just in time to see the kid realize the door was dead-bolted in multiple spots. He won’t be able to undo them all before Bruce catches up to him.

He slows down and stands behind a pillar, assessing his next move. He needs to be careful here. This is a child after all, no need to spook him any more than he already has. He needs to slowly approach, and ask his questions.

But then the kid does the unexpected. After looking around frantically, he takes a deep breath. Two rings form around his middle and travel up and down his body. His black hair turns ghostly white. He looks back, almost directly at Bruce. His eyes widen as if he realizes he’s being watched. He whispers, barely loud enough to hear, “I’m so sorry, please don’t follow me.” Then, he backs through the locked door and vanishes.
