What's something you always wanted to write into your Eleutherophobia fic that you just never had a spot for?
David. Love him as a character, even if I hate him as a person. But if I were to put him in the series, then:
This'd presumably have to involve him making some kind of deal with Crayak. And I don't want Crayak or the Ellimist in my fic.
The consequences for everyone's reputation would be massive and catastrophic. At minimum Rachel would get canceled by the internet. At maximum, the idea of charging all six kids with war crimes would suddenly be back on the table.
I have no idea what I'd do with him after the first scene or two of him interacting with the Berensons. Killing him would be inexcusable. But if he lives, he's going to do everything from rob banks to stalk Rachel to charge Jake with attempted murder.
Either he's no threat at all (because he's still stuck as a rat) or he's a life-ruining level of threat (because he's not stuck as a rat) to Jake. There is no in-between.
That said, I'd dearly love for him to interact with Tom at some point. Just long enough for them to get into a snake-measuring contest. And then for them both to discover that king cobras aren't cobras; king cobras are called that because they eat cobras.

“Dont worry, Tanara. Ill do the protecting for now.”
On nights like these, where 3 doubts themself over every mistake theyve ever done, 4 holds not a captain, not a legend.
But a squid just like herself.
This takes place in the current saga, but deets below explain a lil further why 3 is so willing to be vulnerable with her…
In the early days of 4 (and 8) joining the platoon, 3 kept up the appearance of being the cool and stoic bc they were their senior (but Im p sure some of that is naturally a part of them).
It works on 8 -- much to 3s relief. Theyre crushing on her HARD and theyre worried that their real self might turn her away. Typical teenage stupidity.
It does NOT work, however, on 4.
4 is silly and a goofball, but gets the job done. She likes to pose every time she hops off a rail. She hoots and hollers with each enemy taken down.
3 telling her to be serious only gets a flippant comment in return.
“|Your attention wanders, Agent Four.|"
Her shooting something behind them, "Says you. Keep to your lane, geezer!"
3 brushes most comments aside. But deep down they wanna have something flippant to say back. Show this newbie her place.
For now though, they continue to train together under Marie or Callie's (or Cuttlefish's) watch. Such close contact makes their bond grow...
To the point where 3 feels like they can share their thoughts with 4 without feeling ashamed (1 and 2 are in a rank higher than them, and Cuttlefish is their captain. They probably come from a culture that values respecting your elders).
4 is an equal peer, basically. A silly one at that. One they feel safe in confiding. They know that 4s more mean sounding comments at this point arent meant to insult them, its how she shows her appreciation/her way of being friends!
