Summary: Danny gets word that the GIW is going to Gotham to track levels of ectoplasm that have been popping up over the past couple of months. Danny follows and after three days finds at least three different people that have some kind of ectoplasmic signature. He doesn't get close enough to ID them and instead watches over them from a distance until the GIW close in on a man about four years older than him with a white streak in his hair. Next thing Danny knows he's shoving the man into the passenger seat of a car while their under fire from the GIW, hotwiring the damn thing and tearing ass down the street. Meanwhile Jason is wondering how he convinces a kid who isn't much taller than Damian that he's not in any danger all while also trying not to die as this kid not to get them both killed with his GTA driving style. Damn, he'll have to tell Alfred he's going to be late for dinner.

Complete: no

It's been ten literal years.

It's about time I finish what I started.

I've been gone so long that I don't even know what Boosh fandom is like anymore. I don't know how active it is, I don't know who all is still hanging around. Really I can only hope that by posting this to AO3, anyone who is subscribed to me will see this update and be happy that the story is finally complete.

This story's incomplete status has haunted me for years. I met my best friend through Boosh fandom in the LiveJournal days (RIP--I have fully lost my login for that site) and since I moved in with her in June of 2019, she has stayed on top of my ass about finally completing this fic.

As you'll all know, I wrote and posted two chapters in 2019 (as well as two one-shots for this universe) with the harassment of my bestie and cheerleading from @cle-o-pat-ra, whom I own an apology to for falling off the face of the planet once the pandemic hit.

I had a real All Eyes On Me moment in 2020. Without getting too much into it, after years of dealing with mental health issues which led to me becoming a shut-in, I moved across country to be with my best friend. I started going out, I started making friends. I started finally living. And then Covid happened and I went off the rails a bit. Quite a bit.

It took some work, but I am doing a lot better now.

So what prompted this return?

Ironically, it was watching GBBO with Bestie over dinner each night. We subscribed to Netflix just to watch it this year. It was seeing Noel--smiley, cheeky, and only just now finally beginning to show any signs of aging--that made my heart clinch.

I found myself wondering what Gabe would be up to at Noel's current age. How Eli is doing.

I realized I missed these characters desperately.

I can only hope you did, too.

Because I have tentative plans for the future...

I'm going to tag the folks I can remember enjoying this fic back when I was more active in the fandom. And I'll be around, in case me showing up like this stirs up any big feelings.

Thank you all for showing so much patience towards me. For loving these characters and playing in this space with me for ten long years. I've missed this world and I've missed you.

And of course, giant, massive thanks to @derangedficrecs / @derangedbutterfly for being this fic's beta for over half the chapters before my life got so hectic and...well, I owe you an apology too. I'm sorry.

Raise Hell. Chapter 21: THE WORLD

[unholy-cvlt]

BORN TO RISE HELL

Don't you be scared, don't you be scared

Everybody terrified, it don't seem fair

What are you waiting for?

What do you think you were creating for

Out of your seat, blind in the heat

Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell

Go back to zero, take a pill and get well

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell

Be a good soldier and die where you fell

I need the devils to make this shirt available all the time.

My grandpa watched nascar religiously and would say, “raise hell and praise dale” rip dale earnhardt before every race

my love for the devils and my grandpa and his silly saying fuels my desire to own this shirt BUT I can’t find it anywhere in my size :(

[de-angulorum-et-angelorum]

Heaven and Hell have had enough.

Battling for the Earth like children, sending their Angels and Demons to enact their good and evil plans, only to see it defeated by the other side.

An ultimatum is decided upon: they have exactly one year to unleash everything they’ve got on the Earth.

The winning side will own Earth and all its inhabitants, finally putting a stop to this battle.

Now, if only these Angels and Demons could stop acting like humans…

Parking one of these in the yard to let the Jehova's witnesses know I mow grass, eat ass, raise hell, and praise Dale before they ring my doorbell.

Oh and this week I'm listening to Raise Hell by Fresh, the actual band I'm seeing tonight - really enjoying it so far, it's very fun but chill to listen to.

So. Plans for the future. Let’s talk about it.

Going back through this fic and finally writing the last chapter opened the floodgates for me, in a way. As I said in my last post, I’d been wondering about what Gabe and Eli in the future would be like, what their lives would look like. I wrote a glimpse into their future back in 2019 in A Name of My Own. But I still feel like there’s more to uncover, more to learn, to discover.

Finishing Raise Hell felt monumental for me. When I completed the last chapter, I sat staring at the final line for fifteen minutes, asking myself if I could do this—if I could finally publish it. If I was ready for this all to be over. Because this fic had started out as a coping mechanism for me. When I’d began writing it, I identified pretty heavily with Eli—like I wanted so desperately to have someone come rescue me. Someone who knew how to care for me while also pushing me to be my best in ways that felt challenging, but not scary. Weirdly, it felt difficult to essentially ‘let go’ of that time in my life, that version of me.

Weirder, still, is the fact that just like Eli, I essentially got exactly what I wanted. I moved in with my best friend. We’ve built a life together. I’m happy, and I’m finally beginning to thrive instead of just survive. I clicked publish. I decided to let go of the 24 year old version of me.

And by the next day, (nearly) 34 year old me had an idea for a second Gabeli story—a road map unfurled in my mind, the journey these two men could take stretching out before me. I have the notes written down for a second story, ready to begin writing.

What does this mean for RH?

For Raise Hell as it currently exists? Probably nothing.

In its current form, Raise Hell has a few problems—tense-shifting, for one, a couple Boosh/Mint Royale references that would need changed if I were to publish it. I have copy/pasted the whole of the fic into my favorite writing program and am slowly combing through it, fixing the problems with tenses, formatting it, etc. I do have plans to eventually get it up for sale in its new form (with a couple extra scenes included), but that’s in the future. If you loved it, I’d download it now so that you’ll always have access to it in its original form because it might not remain forever on AO3.

What is Heaven & Earth?

The sequel I’m planning for Raise Hell. It will be set roughly two years after the conclusion of RH and will follow one major plot and two minor subplots as we follow the boys further into their relationship.

We’ll see how Jen, Ben, and Kat are doing and we’ll find out more about Spuds, James, and Alan, too.

We’ll uncover more insights about Gabe’s past and his parents, and we’ll see some things from Eli’s past get wrapped up as well.

Will you be posting H&E to AO3?

Yes! Any Gabeli stuff I work on will be posted to AO3 first and then be made available in other formats, reconfigured, improved, etc. later.

What is Hereafter?

The long and short of it is I don’t know yet! Coming back to finish a fic (and then go on to continue it) for what appears to be a dead fandom is a…weird experience, to say the least. I’m convinced at this point that I’m only continuing this for my own benefit at this point, but I think I’m fine with that.

I think once I’ve finished with H&E, the picture will become clearer for Hereafter. Or Hereafter may become just a collection of oneshots only on AO3—random snapshots of Gabe and Eli’s lives at different points. I don’t know. I’ll figure it out when the time comes.

So. That’s it for the updates for now.

Thanks again.

<3

A friend in the bunny adoption circles asked me about tattoo artists today. I'm honestly so fucking happy about my tattoos and send my artist work constantly. Getting a touch up on the cat in a few days, excited to catch up and listen to Motorhead and Dropkick Murphys. Credit to artist @callibretto
