Cover No. 7: Lost and found

Song: Surfacing by HiFi Rush Originals

(Alternate Song: Hearing by Sleeping at last)

It's funny how the years can pass by so fast. Even if it was way too fast for Chiisai, she thinks with a faint smile back to the previous decade. Her so called brothers Lee, Raphie, Don and Mike were all grown up, heading out into the wide world to find their own way. The goodbyes were for them difficult and quite emotional but it was a part of life. And she knows that.

But it was a big change for her to experience the apartment more quiet and emptier than usual. The next months merciless past over quickly too. But her mind couldn't find peace with all of it after all these days. Sure, they stay in contact, writing some texts and sending pictures here and then but it was not the same as coming together and talk about it in person. The nights on the rooftop felt wrong without Lee rambling about his interests or the shouts of a provoked Raphie who just wanted some peace for once. No Don who needed a few moments to feel at ease in such height or a Mike who tried new stunts and scare the hell out of her with almost falling from the rooftop.

Absently Chiisai stared up to the stars and the bright full moon. She didn't realized her tears until they hit the back of her hand. "I almost forgot how it feels to be truly alone..." When was the last time she felt like that? She knew it all too well: It was on the fateful day she got stranded in this universe. She still wondered how her old family was. Did time passed by like here or did it went slower or even (she hoped not) faster? The turtle didn't count on she would ever be able to find that out. Her hand almost searched mechanically in her jacket pocket something specific: An old photo. The old photo with Chiisai and her two siblings. Like the last days she just focus on this and talk to herself. This night the words wouldn't come out.

With a sigh she stood up and climbed down through her window in her apartment. Just as her feet touched the floor a bright light in the absolute darkness blinded her. Annoyed she hold her hand in front of her eyes, which idiot thinks it would be a bright idea to flash her with a li- A familiar blue swirling, quietly buzzing and forming a circle. Her head screamed one word: Portal. Her eyes welled up again with tears as she run towards it. With a last movement before she went through Chiisai untied her mask, clenching the fabric hard in her fist.

She blinked several times because of the even brighter light before the pancake turtle recognize her surroundings. And the familiar faces she longed for since she lost them a decade ago. Just as before she got almost tackled and tight hugged from her sister Chiisai thought one thing: I'm finally back home again.

This would be the end in the timeline. Good-bye I now proceed to listen to Hearing...again and lay down for it on the ground Mentioned AU Universe boys belong to @xxlea-nardoxx

So...I filled my queue all the way up, topped it off.

1000 Schrodinger's posts just waiting.

What shall I do with this power, this potential?

1 an hour would run to September 13th.

2 an hour would take us to August 23rd.

I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.

It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.

Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.

The thing I love the most about Alastor is that we can't truly know what to think of him, if he is being truly manipulative or if there's a genuine undertone behind any of his words, and that allows people to interpret him differently from one person to another. Like "oh he's being so sweet and supportive", to "no actually he's just saying what people want to hear because he's an evil manipulator". Maybe some fans are being too trustful, just like Charlie, and falling into his lies. BUT maybe there's a true genuine undertone to everything he says, maybe he can be a sweetie behind his evil mask. And maybe he'll turn out redeemable. Or not at all. Who knows?

His character could go in two completely different directions in the next seasons and we have no way of telling how he'll turn out. It's still fully open because he showed he can be awful and evil and manipulative, but since there's been very few hints here and there that he could get attached to the hotel, that means he could be sweet despite all that. The mystery and uncertainty is keeping us thinking and hoping and I LOVE that. He's such a unique and amazingly written character.

On a personal note, I think the two different directions his character could take should coexist. Yes, he's going to be a main villain in the future seasons and betray Charlie and the hotel, yes he's an evil manipulator, BUT he could also get attached to them and show redeemable qualities at the same time. For me it would make the heartbreak even greater and his character even more satisfying.

I wish I had some form of media that I was passionate enough about to write a lot of fic for it, but since I don't I'm going to put this idea out into the tumblrsphere for anyone who feels like giving it a shot:

The Complete Cast Challenge

write one fic per character in the media's cast of characters

the fic should be that character's point of view or a character study of them or otherwise have them as the central focus

no minimum or maximum word count, but each fic should be posted separately as a standalone - you can gather them in a series or a collection for organizational purposes

no maximum number of chapters. all that is required is a oneshot, but feel free to go hog wild

no time limit. This can be a project you take on as your main focus or it can be a way for you to experiment on the side of any other fics you're working on

suggested, but not required: use an additional tag like [character's name]-centric to help fans of that character find your work. If you're writing about a character you dislike, you can warn fans of that character away from your work by using an additional tag such as [character's name]-bashing

I also kind of think this has the potential to be a tiered challenge:

Level 1: main cast Level 2: recurring cast Level 3: side characters Level 4: single appearance characters Level 5: no speaking lines characters
