a stranger on a couch - a kollok fanfic

chapter 1 - "a strange man"

summery - when a strange man suddenly appers on mallory's couch, the kollok radar doesn't know what to do about him or someone kicked the driver out of the driver seat and now he is apart of the story he was telling

word count: 1144

This isn’t supposed to be happening 

Something is wrong 

The story is wrong 

What happened 

“Hey you awake yet '' Billy said looking down at the strange man lying down on the couch. He had tried snapping his fingers in front of the man but he was still asleep. He walked around the living room frantically wondering what he was supposed to do. 

“So none of you guys know who he is, isn’t he what, special like you guys” malloys voice can be heard from the far end of the room, scared at the strange man who just appeared on his couch. 

“No he’s not … not every random person has powers like us” mickey said sitting down opposite to the man, she had to go home soon her dad might be worried. 

Billy once again snapped his fingers rapidly in front of the man hoping for some kind of response but nothing came. 

The man had short blond hair that was brushed to the side and a trimmed beard, he wore a simple black suit with a white shirt and a black tie, his facial features were scarcely similar to Billy's, a bystander would think they were related. He looked to be around his late 20s to early 30s. He was barely alive, but his breathing was irregular. 

“What am I supposed to do? I don't have room for one more person” Malloy said, his voice getting shaker with every word said. 

“We’ll figure it out” Mickey said, attempting to comfort Malloy, he’s the one that's going to have to deal with it. 

“I’m gonna start shaking him!” Billy said walking back towards the man and his hands moving towards his shoulders, micky without missing a second ran up to Billy to hold him back. “Please, how else is he going to wake up” 

“I don’t think shaking him would work” “No, I agree with Billy, we need answers and he will probably give it to us,” Malloy added, wanting to see some results. 

Micey, fighting a losing battle, calmly let go of Billy as he rushed towards the man, lifting him up and rapidly shaking him. As Billy kept shaking him, the man's eyes slowly opened up until Billy was satisfied and dropped the man back onto the couch. The man is now fully awake. 

“See, I knew it would work,” Billy said, turning towards Mickey with pride in his voice. 

The man slowly sat up looking around him, rubbing the back of his head. He glanced at everyone present in the room until his focus was on Billy baker. 

“What did you do?” he said, his voice shaking, almost scared towards Billy.  

“Hey I didn’t do anything, your the one who just appeared on Malloys couch” billy said defensively 

“Roll- '' the man's mouth moved to reply but he stopped himself from saying anything. He moved into a more comfortable position as he wrapped his arms around his body while looking down at the floor as his mouth curled in on itself. 

“So um hey, I’m Malloy Jenkins you might have heard of my dad, you seemed to have appeared on my couch” Malloy moved slowly closer towards the man hiding his fear within his voice. 

The man kept looking at the floor and back to the people in the room and back at the floor, making no attempts to continue the conversation. He kept trying to move his body back, trying to hide from the curious eyes of the group. 

“So … um what's your name?” Malloy continued talking. 

Hearing the direct question, the man quickly looked at Malloy, looking surprised at the question. His mouth slowly opened but closed as quickly as it opened. 

“I- don’t know” was all the words the man could muster. 

“Do you know who you are?” Billy asked, wanting to contribute 

“I do but…” the man stopped himself from saying more. 

“Man this is too weird, I mean a guy just appeared in my living room” Malloy walked backwards visibly showing how scared he was of the man. 

“I got it, what if we give you a name” Billy interjected, killing the silence. This idea had gotten the man’s attention as he looked surprised at Billy's comment. 

“I do not need another name billy baker” the last part slipped out of his mouth, as now Malloy’s full attention was back at the man and Billy took a few steps away from the man. 

“How do you know my name?” realising his mistake, he looked back down onto the floor struggling to speak.

“It's hard to explain, but I know more then you would think” 

“How!?” 

“I can’t explain it” 

“Don’t worry i’ll believe you” the man's eyebrow raised at Billy's response, curious about Billy's reaction. 

Billy has seen a lot of stuff. If anyone was going to believe this strange man it would be Billy or anyone apart of the kollok radar, there was stuff he had never considered to exist until the radar was formed.  

“I know what you have been through, all of you, Malloy, MickEy, Embeth, Laura, I am not someone you should be afraid of, I know your story Billy Baker” his words came out like fiction, the group didn’t know what to think, if he was even telling the truth or not. They weren't expecting the man to know their names, Billy took a few steps back and Mickey moved to be next to Billy hovering over him.  

“And why should we believe you?” Mickey chimed in, confronting the man in a defensive state, she moved closer to the man almost towering over him, as if Billy and Malloy left the room.  

“I understand how you wouldn’t believe me, but please, something is wrong and I need your help” the man begged, he begged to the group. The previous fear from the group changed to confusion, as micky gave the man some room to breath   

“Well you came to the right place sir, the Kollok radar is the best help you can get” Malloy said with pride, not understanding how serious this situation is. 

“Guys we shouldn’t trust him, not yet” Mickey said, turning towards Malloy, slightly forgetting the man was still in the room.   

“I understand how you wouldn’t trust me but please I need help. I don't know who else to go to” the man said with a hint of disgust like the sentence itself was unknown to him, he looked back down at the ground feeling his mouth with his hand. 

At this moment Malloy moved towards the man and Mickey took a few steps back, they were speechless. They gave each other a look as micky mumbled something under her breath and pointed to the hallway. 

“Excuse us for a moment” Mickey said, the man didn’t have time to respond as they all ran down the hallway.

Mallory Jenkins but if he denied Story's offer to become The Driver:

[ko11ok]

Just wanna say ty for being some of the chosen Kollok people that carried the hashtag and are still around

hahaha yeah ofc!!

honestly i still need to like. actually finish series 2 (cannot call it kollok because kollok 1991 is always just kollok in my heart) i got maybe three episodes in because personally I wasn't enjoying the direction they went with it. i think it would've been better as an independent series, it just didn't have the heart and soul kollok 1991 had.

okay. i was like. i don't need to go on a rant....but i want to >:)

one of the things I liked about kollok 1991 was how messy it was, it was messy and fun and dark at the same time, there was a lot of cool stuff about it, and it felt like watching someone's beloved homegame with their unhinged dm, where not everything got wrapped up neatly and you never quite knew what was going to happen next.

the second series felt to clean to me, everything was put together, very streamline, very neat. it didn't have the edges or the humor 1991 had that was integral to [of course], my personal enjoyment of it. i feel like the ascended in general felt flat to me as well, like they were trying so hard to get us invested and interested in them that they wrapped back around to myself feeling like i didn't know them at all.

i think they tried really hard to do a little bit of everything, trying to let old fans see the legacy cast and their story, bring in a new audience with the ascended and the new story. it just all felt like? too much? like by catering to everyone and anyone they catered to no one. I remember zac saying that he wanted the second series to be something that anyone who'd never heard of kollok before could pick up and start watching, but to me that was so incredibly flawed. 1991 by its nature is a complex story, even if you created something new in the universe, the deeper lore and characters are still there, especially with how it was written.

my only pet peeve with zac's gaming style is that it's clear he almost always bites off more than he can chew, and when he needs to reconcile what he's bitten off, he almost always just spits it out (retcons) rather than just tries to swallow it (improvise, shift). he has extremely rich backstories and background written, and he likes to drop hints and ideas, but he never reveals any answers that are truly satisfying. (which maybe I missed because i didn't watch the second series). he likes to tease his audience, but never truly satisfy, in my opinion the most satisfying moments almost always came from the players.

imo legacy and the ascended should've been two different shows. they could've had the same format, they even could've existed in the same universe! [BIG BIG, "this is coming from someone who watched only like the first few episodes"], they could've just broken them up into separate shows at separate times. they could've given the old fans a satisfying ending, and given the new fans something to chew on with the ascended.

in my like. dream scenario, legacy's timeline instead takes place in 2002. (i've mentioned how i think a "kollok 2002" would be really cool, another palindrome year, most of the cast would be 11 years older, and in their late twenties/early thirties) they could still have mallory having gone into the black rock, tibby wracked with guilt, and the others sort of far flung. i think they could've pulled the same stuff and gotten a good result!! they could've even kept the timeline!! the ascended would rebel shortly after, the could've even done a series about that, which would've felt very similar, and ended where the show eventually got to, with the disillusioned ascended trying to figure out what the fuck they were going to do

idk! just my ten cents on it. sorry for taking your message and doing a lil rant lmao hope you don't mind

maybe i should do a sweet kollok rewatch in the future soon....like 1991 is pretty long but maybe i could swing it again >:)

Gender: Driver

Pronouns: any/all

Assigned at birth: M (stands for “Mallory”)

Mallory/Billy would say “watch me dunk this one!” and throw with their eyes closed, excitedly waiting for a reaction but they completely miss.

BAHAHAHA I COMPLETELY AGREE

[trash-bin-ary]

Gahhh symbolism

[thefandomboysblog]

i am literally fucking crying for mallory jenkins. i pictured him doing something mundane like in a world where nothing wrong happened and then my mind was like "yeah, but mallory is dead".

how the hell did this pathetic excuse of a man (affectionate) get me and my mind in such a chokehold?

[deltaqi]

What are the characters voice claims?

I dont have everyone, but these are the ones i do have!

Blixer: Jayce from Arcane Cube: Raine Whispers from The Owl House (corrupt and uncorrupt) Daisy: Angelica Schuyler from Hamilton Cyan: Elijah Wood Lycan: Race from Newsies (Ben Cook specifically) Zone: Mallory Jenkins from Kollok (Matt Sohinki) Antimony: Viktor from Arcane Orange: Dewey Finn from School of Rock (Alex Brightman)

[isabelopaque]

i dont have the energy to rewatch it because its Long but god ill never get over kollok and how masterfully it portrays the trope of a haunting. rachel jewell is dead shes alive she was never real shes the end and the beginning shes in the walls of the house shes in the crevices of the storybook. mallory jenkins lived and died in the way he always knew he would not with a gunshot like his father but a slow descent and his suicidal tendencies finally giving him a way to help someone for the first time only to have to relive the story over and over. mallory jenkins forever nineteen, the driver, the storyteller, rachel jewell the ghost and the murderer. like do you get me

[muttmoxley]

im going back into kollok land. i never finished s3 im not sure if i should relisten to the whole thing from the start (...tempting. cause i miss mallory.) or just from the beginning of s3..... (also tempting. because ill see mallory again sooner.)

THE FINALE WAS SO GOOD IM SO MAD I WASN'T ABLE TO WATCH IT LIVE

Zac opening the episode the way he did in 1991 made me so nostalgic

Aabria killed it tonight as usual and I really hope they do find a way to bring Laura back

The scene with Mallory and Laura made me cry hrggggggg I'm so upset they didn't get to have a proper reunion

bUT MALLORY IS THE DRIVER AND HAS BEEN THE WHOLE TIME

The driver death scene was so dramatic lol I loved it and story's entrance was rlly cool

This season was so good and everyone on and off screen absolutely killed it and I hope they all enjoy their well deserved rest

Here's to hoping for a season 4!!

Guys kollok but the trauma stopped an hour ago and now they’re all happy

Can the radar have a reunion and ro can see the man who saved her and cdubbs and Laura can talk and mutually hate narcus and then Tibby can finally have the opportunity to heal and Billy and Mallory can finally have someone to bounce their bullshit jokes off of

Laura doesn’t have to be a tomb, to be hell, clarity doesn’t need to be dissipated, they don’t have to loose everything

SOBBING GUYS PLS
