PLANES PILGRIM or DREAMLORD or ASTRALWALKER AU

Well ... not an Alternate Universe, per se, since the idea is post-canon. But you get what I mean. Anyway!

The basic idea is that Wirt and Greg, after the events of the series, possess and slowly develop certain powers related both to dreams and to alternate planes of existence. Those powers are: the ability to fall asleep at will, to awaken from a normal sleep at will, to enter planes of existence connected to our own (like The Unknown or The Desert or The Final Catarct or The Giant's Skull or The IKEA Eternal or The Starfield of Anorion, etc.) via their dreams, and to enter and manipulate the dreams of others.

To be clear, this is not to say everything that happened in The Unknown was All Just A Dream(TM); that trope is far too facile (and honestly boring) an interpretation for me, and also is not supported by canon. But it is undeniable, especially given how the brothers can reenter The Unknown in dreams in the comics taking place after the show, that The Unknown and the brothers' dreaming are related. Or, rather, they become related. Specifically because of the brothers passing into and then out of The Unknown via near-death experience.

People who can do this are sometimes called "Planes Pilgrims" (or "Pilgrims" for short). But also "Dreamlords" and "Astralwalkers" (also "Walkers" for short) depending on which plane they travel to. Because of their connection to "reality"--the main expanse of the fabric of space-time, of which the others planes are the fraying fringes of that fabric--they also possess the ability to act upon and cause changes to those planes. Otherwise, they tend to remain more-or-less timeless and essentially unchanging, without advancents or progress moving their world forward nor regressions or devolutions dragging it back (The Unknown, for example, if left to itself will always be vaguely and surreally like New England in the early 1800s) (The Beast is dead after the brothers' first misadventure because of their intervention, but otherwise would've always been a part of it).

So they get to explore more weird worlds and have more weird adventures! Yay! Especially as they gain more control over their powers with time, and thus more volition over when and where they'll go. Also who, if anyone, will accompany them. Sara was drawn unintentionally into The Unknown, I believe, by Wirt's desire to share some time with her. Later on, he'll be able to do such things intentionally. (Though accidents will always be a part of it, and "reality" and "surreality" can have a will of their own. It won't ever have a 100% guarantee.)

Upsides of these powers: No more insomnia ever again, and usually no more need for an alarm clock. And there are experiences in worlds beyond imagination!

Downsides: There are experiences in worlds beyond imagination, and that isn't always a pleasant or good thing. Besides, while dying in a dream has no real-world consequence, dying in one of these planes will kill your soul, thus your body will remain unresponsive in a supernatural coma until it eventually perishes. There is genuine danger to the soul, and to the body that can't reawaken as if from a normal, physical sleep.

Lighter uses of these powers: Fun times and new friends (especially since time moves differently, and weeks or months can be lived in the space of a real-world sleep). Or, when entering someone else's dreams, the ability to learn more about them and thus help their psyche. Even reawaken them from a coma.

Darker uses, since any power can be put to a dark use: Forcibly drag someone into another plane to banish them there (thus putting them into a supernatural coma). Torrment someone with nightmares, or spy on them in the most private and vulnerable of position. Good thing Greg and Wirt would never do such a thing, right? Unless ...

Anyway, just an AU idea that's been ricocheting around my head like an old screensaver.

                           crouched comfortably on glider the goblin shifts closer, hovers in silence from above. the goblin is not norman, it is not one to study from afar, not one to research. the goblin acts on instinct a majority of the time, startagy is secondary to action. so it does not hesitate to speak.     “ you’re an interesting little thing, aren’t you ? ”    

                          a cackle rips from the goblin’s throat, interest reflected in the carved golden eye, permanent smile plastered over helmet, he cocks his head.    “ or at least you think you are, hm . . . ”    it’s tone is taunting as it moves closer, observing.

@astralwalker​ for Kirk Twin Fun!

“I have an idea.” Jim beamed at his twin. 

It was something that was done a lot these days. He wasn’t sure how they both found themselves at Starfleet after being separated for so long, but he was glad that they had. 

“But things might get weird.”

jami's gift is a duo this year. one in aisling's mind, the other in a box wrapped in canary yellow paper and a vibrant purple ribbon to tie it in place. in the box, lies three bracelets; lime green, fiery orange, and scarlet red. deceptively plain, granted. but that's the way appearances can be.

" so, these are tools. okay? the green one, it's got my face, yondu's face, gem, kraglin and corvus too. and if you're ever in danger, or scared, you twist it until the face is glowing, and you push the button, and that'll bring you to us. the orange one is a tiny laser. not long range, but if you press the stone into a surface, it'll burn a hole through it for you to crawl out of. it can't burn living things, but cages and walls? they're gone. and the red one... honestly, the red one is just cute. it also has an air supply inside, so you scrunch it up and put it in your mouth and it'll keep you breathing for six hours in deep space. neat, huh?? fashionable and useful all at once! "

@soulstcne / christmas let's go!!

CHRISTMAS has become one of her favourite terran traditions - right after halloween. a time to be thoughtful and spend time with family. humans had definitely perfected decorating with pretty lights and trees for this holiday. children usually do not have to give gifts, except for something self-made maybe. however, she found it important this goes both ways.

opening up the brightly packaged present, she marvels at the equally colourful bracelets. yellow glowing fingertips grazing them carefully as aisling goes on explaining. while she seems to be lost in the present, she does actually catch all of that. " woah, so it's like teleporting? " she was sure it was meant for emergencies or if she got lost but this definitely would come in handy on the labyrinth that is the ecclector. the laser one might also be fun to play with and confuse some of the crew but she makes a note of the usefulness of all of them. a quick leap forward, she has both arms wrapped around her aunt. " thank you !! i love them ! " drawing back some moments later, she beams at her before reaching to the side and grab hold of the gift meant for aisling.

this year, she will be getting a messily wrapped photo album with a bright red bow on top. inside the album, there are many many photos assembled that jami had taken and collected over the years. of the two of them. ash with the rest of the crew. ash with her kids. jami with ash's kids and so on. all of them in many different situations on many different adventures. some even with description - mostly written by corvus - except for every single one of the names. the difference is quite clear. jami's handwriting still a bit messy despite maeve's best efforts. definitely written with love though. " i hope you like it. "

slightly tipsy, jim reaches over to tap his doctor friend on the shoulder. ‘ hey bones ‘ when he turns around, the blonde boops him on the nose

Leonard turns out of habit, and he’s met with Jim’s finger against his nose.

“Hello,” he says, tilting his head and furrowing his brow. “Is there a…reason for that?”

*   WHAT BRAND OF STUPID ARE YOU  ?

BASTARD  stupid :        swears are your language and crime is your profession. your reason for doing just about anything is because you could, no matter how stupid it was. why did you set that fence on fire? to watch it burn. why did you put that bug in your mouth? to see what it tastes like. why did you teach that kid to say fuck? its funny. keeping you around is like housing a cartoon villain but at least you know how to pick locks so that's a reason to let you stay.
