#Timeloop!Nocturne

[xerofresh]

12 for Lar and Nocturne, and 14 for Maharth!!

OMG, I JUST FOUND THIS HI!! Sorry if you asked a while ago I haven't checked my inbox in a while.

Anyway, to answer your questions, whenever Lar is finally stable enough to be out on his own, I still think he'd live with Nocturne. He's grown so attached to him it’s the most reasonable conclusion. Plus, some extra company is nice. I think they would live in a small home in Medali, of course, and the idea of Lar just running a little mechanics shop where he builds and fixes things makes me so happy. He could tell some stories of his adventures in his original timeline (he's just got to keep it PG for the little kids it can get gruesome) Sure, there will be wrinkles to iron out in some relationships (mainly Geeta) but he’ll get through it. Nocturne would probably continue with his psychology career, he feels good helping others. He also joins in on some of the stories and tells his own when he's off of work. TLDR: Old Man Yaoi is post-canon

I think Maharth would listen to some of the popular genres from the 1930s, mainly swing and blues. He's got the whole 1930s noir detective aesthetic going on so I think he'd like the music from the time. It was also the early stages of rock and roll, so maybe McCoy and Darklord showed him how much the rock scene has evolved since he really isn't up to date on everything.

[eponymousfics]

help my fic ideas got out of their cages and now i have a litter of baby ideas and i can't work on all of them at once and also their parents are staring at me whining while sitting next to their food bowls like "new chapter? 🥺 now? 🥺 pls? 🥺"

(ideas under the cut if you wanna enable me and tell me you'd be interested in one or to yell at me that they're garbage and i should be focusing on my current wips lol)

-enemies to lovers with Harvey where the farmer hates doctors due to past trauma (hurt/comfort with a happy ending, mostly a challenge prompt bc it's hard to write enemies to lovers with Harvey?? the man does not have a combative bone in his body if you're mean to him he just goes "um ok :(" and then i feel bad for the rest of my life

-werewolf farmer/Shane: gets hurt by a hunter in wolf form and is mistaken for a dog by Marnie, taken in to be nursed back to health on the ranch and bonds with Shane when he's on dogsitting duty. helps him do the "performing self care bc my animals need me" thing and the whole time they have to be like "fuck. how do i tell him i'm not a dog without putting myself or others in danger AHHH"

-farmer 1/2: in honor of Ranma 1/2 getting a reboot (which seems unnecessary to me but hey it's an old favorite so i'm not complaining too much), the farmer has Ranma's curse of switching sexes due to water exposure and it causes many hijinks in town as they desperately try to keep this secret. many "oh i'm in love with your brother" or "i love your sister but you [the brother] suck for some misunderstanding-based reason" and "hey how come you two never come to festivals at the same time it's always one or the other hmm?" this would be a severe stretch of my comedy writing skills though and idk if i could pull it off lol

-princess and the frog only seb is the princess and the farmer is the frog. idk i don't have much more detail on this yet but i think it'd be cute

-that other Harvey fic i already talked about

-timeloop fic where every time the farmer dies the loop resets. we see the farmer get with everyone eventually over the course of the loops, probably finally would wind up with Ras after they go to him for help staying dead/ending the loop. could be lighthearted and comedic or super dark and angsty depending

-enemies to lovers with Marlon and a vampire. he's a monster slayer after all. it'd be very funny if the farmer is a vampire and just trying to live a normal life (nocturnally or with a very big floppy sunhat a la Marceline Adventure Time), but when Marlon meets them for the first time in the mine's he's like "wtf i didn't know you were a MONSTER, what are you even DOING???" and they're like "hey man. i'm just trying to retire. maybe with you sweetie ;)" age gap jokes but it's bc the vampire is way older than him lol

i could keep going, i have other ideas for this and other fandoms, but for now, this is the slice of chaos that is the inside of my head you get to see

[echodoctor]

Here’s a fun thought: what if instead of being more or less a timeloop kind of situation, the healers could interact with their counterparts from different routes via Theater Shenanigans post-canon. 

The possibilities range from the tragic (Artemy from Clara’s route realizing that there were possibilities where all his childhood friends didn’t have to die, Diurnal Ending Dankovsky getting to hear direct from Nocturnal Ending Dankovsky what happens to him if the Polyhedron stays up) to the hilarious (a Bachelor and Haruspex from the Changeling route where they’re in “we’re actively trying to murder each other, it is admittedly a little sexy for both of us BUT I STILL WANT TO KILL HIM BECAUSE HE’S THE WORST” territory meeting their alternate selves from, say, a Haruspex route Diurnal ending, who are dating). 

[kirkypet]

Tagged by @lurkinghistoric and excellent timing because I’m starting writing again plus, and probably more pertinently, am plagued with a nocturnal cough so can’t sleep!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 46, though technically 45 because one of them is a re-posting of a series as a single multi chapter fic so it doesn’t really count.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 447k although technically only 355k (see above).

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Fury Road and crossovers thereof (Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s The Rivals - don’t ask - Blade Runner, Star Trek Next Generation, Firefly, Blues Brothers, American Gods). American Gods. And some miscellaneous one offs (The Drop, Rogue One).

4. Top 5 fics for kudos?

1) He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Leprechaun [American Gods post s2 fix it fic],

2) Our Mister Jobassa [Fury Road Firefly AU],

3) The Fortune Teller [Fury Road funfair AU],

4) Bear With Me [Fury Road shapeshifter AU],

5) Mortal Man [American Gods post s2 ignoring s3 detectives-in-the-time-of-covid fic] - WIP

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not? YES!!! Usually in the manner and style of an excited Labrador. Commenter = FRIEND. But don’t be alarmed, I don’t stalk people. Did I mention that I like comments?

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? I’ve had a good think about this and have to conclude that I don’t do angsty endings. The SADDEST ending would be As but even then, major character deaths were engineered to have the softest blow possible. Do Androids Dream on the Fury Road has an ambiguously sad ending. I’d say the only proper angst was the demise of my first proper OC, a War Boy by the name of Shambo. There was a degree of tragic irony in his death, but that’s plot building (and the Citadel) for you.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written? SO MANY CROSSOVERS. Or AUs. Mainly AUs I guess. First was Blues Mothers (still lamentably unfinished), as part of the Sweet Home Chicago series, where I swap Furiosa and Valkyrie into Jake and Elwood’s bluesy shoes. Then there’s Angel Interceptor, a Star Trek First Contact crossover attempt (also unfinished 😬). I had a bit more fun with Do Androids Dream on the Fury Road? and Our Mister Jobassa which made it to 22k and 56k respectively. The latter spawned a sequel. And, most recently, there’s Wife Swap, a Fury Road American Gods crossover. Technically also gods, assassins and timeloops is a kind of American Gods Boss Level AU of a sort.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic? No-one has yet felt the urge to tell me they didn’t like something I wrote. Which I think is a huge compliment to the whole AO3 culture ♥️ (Thumper’s mum would be proud)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not smut that could be called smut. I dodge the mechanics of the thing by writing about it from a retrospective/reflective/after the fact perspective: buildup, leave them to it, character’s thoughts on the matter afterwards. Probably chickening out but it’s the way I do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I trust the reader’s imagination to fill in the gaps to their own satisfaction. I GET EMBARRASSED OK

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I’m aware of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not as far as I know.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have not.

13. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Max and Furiosa (2015-2019), Mad Sweeney and Laura Moon (2020-)

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Blues Mothers. It’s basically a novelisation of Blues Brothers, adapted for Furiosa and Valkyrie and the Vuvalini. I can’t say how much fun it is to read but it’s a little too boring to write, at least when there are other ideas bouncing around. I’ve got a whole sequel plotted out that I can’t write til the movie events are written (sigh). But I’ll know it’s there to pick up when I completely run out of ideas!

15. What are your writing strengths? For better or for worse, I can’t write a thing without really figuring out where a character is mentally/emotionally within context of circumstances. To know whether/how they would do/say the thing. Makes it a bit hard to write anything short, but at least I’m happy enough that things make sense. I enjoy writing dialogue and if I ever get one compliment it’s on that.

16. What are your writing weaknesses? Can’t do proper angst. Everything has to have a happy ending. At least I’m predictable eh? And I don’t have a beta. I probably should, but I’m content to stand by my own mistakes.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I’ll do it in small doses but always add a Google Translate disclaimer.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for? Mad Max Fury Road.

19. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written? I love all my babies equally. Even the embarrassing ones.

- the outside and or nocturne is some kinda malignant force that wants to bip ruth and ruth specifically (ref to hcdnd; hcdnd ruth has admin powers and the watcher is evil and wants in on that shit. comparable to ruths es)

- reverse retcon amber into 1.2??

- go the more hcdnd route of 'it's timeloop time!⭐' (in that case: must be causal to account for nocturne. enter outside > oh shit it wants ur ass as a vessel > nah man > oh you got fucking bipped but wrongly! > repeat)

[xerofresh]

Been thinking about Lar’s redemption. (TW FOR PTSD, PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS, BIPOLAR, SELF HARM, AND MENTIONS OF THE HOSPITAL STAFF BEING SHITTY! Also, I'm not an expert on this stuff, so if there's anything wrong, please let me know.)

Lar is taken to court to decide what his punishment is for almost restarting a time loop and is sent to a psych ward, as he is deemed mentally unstable by whatever Pokèmon government official decides. Because of his high levels of instability, the doctors recommended moving him to the mental hospital to get better treatment and more experienced staff. After a long explanation from Nocturne, Lar agreed to go, dreading the worst.

Lar thinks of the hospital as a prison at first. If he's confined in an enclosed space away from everyone and he can only talk to his thoughts, yeah, that's prison.

Hates everyone and everything. Doesn't want to be there AT ALL. Some doctors truly want to help Lar, but he sees the cracks in the people who are there to just get paid. Or the greedy Grumpigs exploiting the vulnerable. It makes him feel even more unsure of his healing process.

Speaking of vulnerability, he is in the most vulnerable state in his life. He's so stressed and scared and angry at the world and just wants to get his power back so he can feel better.

With all of the security of the hospital and the constant checking on him by doctors and guards, he feels he's being watched all the time. Even the paintings are starting to freak him out.

He still has his metal arm, but Nocturne had to rework it to remove the more destructive effects to keep everyone safe. It can still pack a punch though, it's a metal arm.

Some features were too difficult for Nocturne to remove from either physical or technological limitations, so Lar has a few tricks up his sleeve (literally.) I think Lar would put hidden tools in his arm in case of any mechanical emergency. Most were removed, but the small ones in the fingers weren't because of how small the plates were, and Nocturne couldn't remove them, though he tried to remedy this by shutting down the system to activate them. Lar worked around this, removing one of the fingers to remove the plate of another to have a small tool to get the others. I also think he'd have some secret random things that Nocturne never knew existed until Lar got bored one day and decided to show it off or tinker with it in some way.

Speaking of which, I think Lar would get super into technology and machinery after having to learn the skills for his original position in the future timeline. He basically speedran an engineering degree during a time loop to cause more chaos.

I think Lar would develop some form of undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder from the trauma. He never noticed how severe it was because he thought the repeated loops were messing with him and his changing moods were par for the course.

He'd go into a planning frenzy when in mania. What's he planning? Anything that comes to his mind really. Most of them are not good ideas. He memorized the hospital layout so he can sneak around secretly indulge in his kleptomania.

One time he successfully did a heist to steal the hospital’s medical documents about him. Things did not go well for him mentally after that.

I also thought of a heist where he'd steal the owner of the hospital’s super fancy and expensive record player out of spite. He'd do some crazy stuff with it, one thing being he somehow wired the sound to Talon’s vocal cords and the music plays when Lar opens the beak. This gives him a new love of vintage vinyl records.

He also has heightened anger issues and alertness in mania, you can't get as close as six feet from him (unless you're Nocturne)

He checks and rechecks every inch of his room or any places he's made himself comfortable in the ward for any discrepancies, it keeps his focus off the horrors of his mind.

Whether from built-up energy, anger, or stress, he can barely sleep. Like. Ever.

He feels like he can't fucking die ever. Like he can fight a Roaring Moon with his bare hands. He can't.

In depression, he’s just the worst. Doesn't listen to anyone and just wants to wallow in a ball of guilt on his mattress is as hard as a Stonjourner.

He'd have a lot of delusions and memory loss, which he HATES. His mind and memory are basically all he had at this point, and now he's losing it! Even if was the most minute of things (for example, forgetting the middle name of a little kid who gave him something for his Pokèmon who probably doesn't exist in his current timeline anymore) he will freak. He may have Athazagoraphobia, the fear of forgetting someone, something, and/or being forgotten.

He PANICS when he thinks he's forgotten something. He starts hyperventilating and gripping his chest in pain. If it's really bad, he'll start to lash out, destroying things and attacking people he sees as a threat (which, unfortunately, is most of the people who work at the hospital in the spur of the moment) That also sometimes means himself, which is also really bad.

He had one of his most severe panic attacks when his Staraptor was taken and he woke up without him for the first time. Multiple people were sent to the hospital that day.

He sometimes has visual hallucinations. He sees eyes watching him, black glitchy monsters, and fire. Lots of fire. They’re extremely realistic at times, even the monsters, they’re almost like horrifying Ultra Beasts.

He does anything to get rid of the monsters, even though they aren’t really there, most of the solutions involving violence. He’s hurt himself multiple times thinking the monsters were climbing his legs.

He used to have Talon let him know that they were there, but when he was taken away, he had no reliable way to know wether they aren’t there. After a few months without someone to help him perceive real from fake, they finally got him a service Pokèmon.

The new service Pokèmon is a Persian named Jewel and she was professionally trained by some Pokèmon trainers in Alfornada. She helps Lar detect hallucinations and acts as an emotional support animal.

During the events where the hospital gathers a group of patients to do something together, it depends on who’s supervising Lar so that he can have a good time. If one of the good doctors who care for helping others bond and heal is there, it's good. If it's one of the bad doctors who only care about filling their pockets, it's bad. He also doesn't mind most of the group things they do, but when it's crafts day, you know he's gonna be using those engineering skills to make a masterpiece out of popsicle sticks and glue.

When he’s either overwhelmed or wants time away from the group he has a corner next to some bookshelves that the other patients just decided was his spot (look at “assigned” seats at middle school lunch) He usually just sits there, either reading, poking holes in the cover of the seat he has there, or taking a nap.

Nocturne was able to convince Geeta to be his therapist after a long time of arguing. Lar thinks Nocturne is the only consistently good thing in the hospital and savors every second with him.

Nocturne is actually an awesome therapist and you cannot convince me otherwise. Being a therapist is his therapy. He actually does one of those online university things and gets a scholarship in psychology. Or he does go to a physical location and work as Lar’s therapist as a job, extra credit, and to get experience with working with other patients moving forward.

The two spending time with each other helps them realize how fucked up they both are. They both have extreme PTSD caused by each other and they feel so bad about it. Lar still apologizes profusely every now and then when he doesn't need to, just to make sure they're cool now.

Lar is very clingy and hates when Nocturne has to leave. He knows he has an allotted amount of time each day with him, but he can't help it. It's gotten much better since the beginning.

I see Lar hating physical touch most of the time because of his paranoia and trust issues. Nocturne gets a pass though.

Nocturne truly wants the best for Lar after seeing all he's gone through and learning how his mind has poorly handled it.

I think maybe Nocturne is too eager to help, kind of babying Lar. I think he’d ignore it at first, but then get a bit irritated later on. He thinks he’s healed enough to do most things on his own.

On the other side of this, Lar has trouble asking for help on his own. He thinks he can handle it, he’s been through enough, he can handle this. A lot of times he pushes people away and tries to do it himself when he clearly needs help. Nocturne is scared that Lar blocking him out will be the death of him.

They're probably gay.

While doing mainly psychological therapy, he also has some knowledge of physical therapy. He helps soothe Lar if he injures himself and keeps those pesky scar pains away. Also, phantom limb pain for both of them.

Nocturne sometimes sneaks his Staraptor or Dundunsparce during therapy. This makes Lar very happy.

This may be some projection, but I think Nocturne could help Lar heal with ✨art✨

Nocturne learned about all the little things in life during his quest to defeat Lar in the present timeline with Mikey, who started some sort of art thing requested by one of the gym leaders on his break. Nocturne got into it too and realized how much it helped, so he passed it onto Lar.

Lar thought it was stupid at first, but it grew on him a little. I say that and now he's in the process of creating a mural of all his friends in the time loop and in his current timeline. Yeah, it was only a little.

I also think he'd write down a lot of his thoughts, it's what he did with the time loop planning and documentation, so he was used to it. He has a couple of journals full of his play-by-play of his time and his thoughts about it that only Nocturne and a few select doctors have permission to read. He’d fucking kill someone if they read his journals without permission.

Hassel and Rika consistently see him during visitation hours, but some others come sporadically. Lots of happy tears from the three.

They talk about how things are outside the hospital and how the league, gym leaders, and school are doing. Any sweet gossip and drama piques Lar’s interest, especially any controversies surrounding Geeta. “Talon, popcorn me” *Talon then pulls out leftover caramel popcorn that Nocturne got him*

Hassel and Rika also get the physical touch pass, they’re almost secondary therapists to him.

I think Arven would take over his gym position since it's food-based and he at least has a Greedunt and can terastalize his Mabosstiff if he wants. I also think Mikey would take over his Elite Four position since he is the master of flying types.

Katy, Kofu, and Saguaro bring snacks for Lar when they visit, he's glad he can have some variety in food.

The other gym leaders visit periodically, but most of them are too busy to come often. It's always a nice treat to see Hassel bring Brassius along or Ryme drop in after a show to hang out.

Geeta has come a few times, but most visits did not end well. One day, Geeta came to apologize. Lar understood why and he wants to forgive her, but he just… can’t. Like his body physically won’t let him forgive her. She’s been the root of most of not all of his problems throughout his life and he just doesn’t know how he can forgive her for that. He jus says he needs more time.

I think Lar could befriend some of the younger patients and be some sort of eccentric uncle figure. He also does surprisingly well with the teens that come and go.

He'd be very distant at first, but when some sweet patient who doesn't deserve to be in there comes up to talk, it really opens his eyes.

Many new patients are scared of him when they first are admitted (I mean, who wouldn't be?) but they warm up to each other.

He gets a bit bittersweet when any friends he makes at the hospital have to go. He knows that it's good that they've healed enough and they don't have to deal with this place anymore, but they're still his friends and he misses them. He's at least glad that he made their time a bit better.

Do Lar and Novturn have their own ship name or is it also Birdfoodshipping like for Mikey and Larry???????? Totally not asking for any reason in particular nooooo no way absolutely I'm not

Birdfoodshipping is the name for OG Larry and Team Sky Mikey because Mikey likes birds/creatures of the sky and Larry is a big foodie.

Some ship names I’ve been tossing around for Lar and Nocturne are Timeraptorshipping, Timecrowshipping, or just Timeloopshipping, mainly for their connection to the time loop. Raptors are cool birds of prey and crows often symbolize bad omens and death, similar to ravens.

Okay after picking up the crow=bad omen detail their ship name will be Timecrowshipping or Timemurkrowshipping because using a Pokèmon stand-in is funny. I may incorporate crows into the story now that I think about it.

Also, Nocturne is very emo for a while, so there's that.

More traditional drawings featuring Nemona, Nocturne, and Lar!

I was mainly using this to practice drawing the futuristic weapons (or just weapons in general they’re hard to draw) and kind of design some of the weapons that could exist in the AU. These are just placeholders.

Also, I got to draw Nemona! Yay :D

@mewintheflesh-2 asked for some time loop logistics for my NightSkyLoop AU, so that's what this is!

The time loop lasts for 7 days or 1 week.

The blast of the time machine caused the memories to stay. Theoretically, Larry and/or Nocturne could bring someone else to get blasted, but fate just doesn't let anyone else in the room. Plus, Larry wants to keep the power and knowledge to himself.

Only Larry and Nocturne know the time loop is happening. No one else can truly learn that it is, they only have some extremely vivid De-ja-vu.

Larry and Nocturne can change the outcome of the loop as they please, but no matter what, they end up back in the time machine room and blasting themselves back to the beginning of the week.

Larry’s and Nocturne’s bodies still age, so if the time loop was ever broken, Larry and Nocturne would be 14 years older than their original counterparts. Yikes.

Pokèmon kept in their box (the personal box from the Let’s Go games) stay the same level, but only Pokèmon left in their party retain the loop memories. If a Pokèmon is taken out to the party, that Pokèmon retains their old loop memories but doesn't get the one they are switched out of.

Nocturne is the one to go through the time machine and restart it, so he must stay alive.

When Nocturne goes through the time machine, he wakes up in his office after a 20-second time travel cutscene.

Larry can die as many times as he pleases, but this comes at the cost of time in Limbo and his sanity.

If Larry lives til the end of the loop and gets blasted by the time machine, he has to stay in a 1-hour queue in Limbo, a black void between The Real World and The Afterlife.

If he dies anytime before then, he has however many days left in the loop added onto the time he spends in Limbo. For example, if he dies on day 4, he stays his original 1 hour plus 3 extra days in Limbo.

Larry thought dying on the first day would get him out. He learned that was not true the hard way.

Most injuries persist through the time loop. The only injuries that don't are injuries that limit your movement (that aren't treated in time, Larry’s missing arm doesn't count since it was replaced) or injuries that limit bodily functions that you need to live (like a certain mad scientist removing an organ or two)

NOTE: NOT ALL OF THIS IS SET IN STONE! This may change in the future as I flesh out the story. If it does, I'll let you guys know!

They get to cuddle while Larry just has an entire mental breakdown in Nocturne’s lap

It’d be funny and gay if when Larry does finally get therapy in his prison he has to cycle through six shitty therapists and then Nocturne visits and is like, “You know what? I'll be his therapist.”

Yay, Sona!! Another Xero!
