It is so weird how much less stressed I am for “For the Future” than I was for “Thanks to Them”
Like, in terms of power, the Collector is LEAGUES above Belos. They DESTROYED him the last time they met. And both the Collector AND Belos are out there. They’re now dealing with TWO problems. But it is SO much less scary now that the kids know Belos is out there.
Belos is still dangerous, but at least they know he’s alive, and they know he can possess people. At least I’m not sitting in dread, like at a horror movie screaming “Behind you!” as Belos slinks around with the kids unaware. Probably the worst possible case scenario with Belos has already happened (knock on wood). Belos is still a formidable villain, and he’s still to be feared, but he doesn’t have the element of surprise on the kids anymore, and that is SUCH a relief.

Accidentally Undercover AU, let's go!
Three idiots and six identities, and all the comedic chaos that entails.
Y/N is a rather particular parkour enthusiast, who happened to catch the eye of someone scouting for new secret agent material. They're damn good at their job, though their lighthearted "ehehe I'm a secret agent" attitude doesn't really give off that impression. They're proud of their reputation though, and worked hard to get where they are.
In come Sun and Moon - one animatronic, two AIs (unbeknownst to Y/N). A tag team that works shorter shifts but due to their shared body still more than Y/N, and is scarily efficient. They quickly ascend the ranks and become respected agents to everyone except Y/N. About the same time, they look for a new place to live - somewhere with more space for all their gadgets and gear, and preferably with a landlord who won't ask too many questions.
Well, Y/N doesn't ask any questions they don't want turned around towards them, so at least with this arrangement everyone is happy. They don't mind the drilling, whirring, and all the other seemingly suspicious noises - because they're used to them, and have their own little workshop (although they invested in soundproofing long before Sun and Moon moved in). They do quite like their new neighbor, not realizing that's supposed to be plural, and find him one of the easier people to deal with in their life.
Not like their rival at work - who really seems hellbent on making their life difficult. Some mission overlap means they meet quite often, and fortunately mutually agree not to tell anyone else when their banter distracts them from the mission itself, almost causing them to fail. They don't truly hate each other. They're just the two smart kids in class who always need to prove themselves (to the other).
They're all very smart to work as secret agents - but I cannot emphasize enough that they are all three extremely, extremely stupid when it comes to their identities. They don't even expect the nice neighbor/ annoying coworker to be both, so of course they don't notice.
Sun and Moon can talk internally, and do sometimes, but mostly while one is active the other is in rest mode. It's a mutual decision - they would drive each other crazy, constantly critiquing actions/ not being able to actually intervene. They can "wake" each other, but mostly do that around the time of the switch anyway.
So when one talks about the respective Y/N identity they're aware of, they do so via recounting, and not shared memories, only increasing the dissonance between "Robin" and Y/N.
A present day to mildly futuristic setting, animatronics and robots are fully integrated into society. There's also enough of them around, so Y/N in turn doesn't question why their neighbor and coworker look so damn similar.
Shenanigans ensue ✨
Edit: Here's the masterlist! (Check reblogs for future updates)

No but the moral values of the six of crow characters are so interesting to me.
Cause on one hand you have Kaz, a criminal, gambler and murderer; who has no problem with his way of life because he believes that everyone lives his way of life but on different levels. He says the merchants are thiefs just like him which is true on a certain level especially in this story. He does what he has to do to survive. His morals are formed due to past experiences and trauma.
Then there's Matthias whose morals stem from what he was taught as a child. He was a soldier, so he believes strongly in honour and good vs evil. He also refuses to attack an unarmed man and stops Nina from killing Kuwei. But then there's him being brainwashed and believing that grisha need to be exterminated which is pretty Nazi-like. However the purpose of his arc was for him to grow and realise that was wrong.
The book does a really good job of setting all these contrasting ideas against each other. Each character has different moral values and lines they won't cross but these two stood out to me the most.

Progress update
The Cycle of Death: Working on a buffer. Chapters may start coming by the end of May/early June.
By The Riverbed, I give my Everything: Chapter 4 being written. Probably will be out before the month's end.
Mystery Story 1: Rough outline complete. Meant to replace Riverbed. Dramedy story making fun of some canon decisions and taking them seriously. Probably out by late June.
Mystery Story 2: Planning stages, kind of a collaborative effort, really. A true angst fest and with a plotline unlike anything I've ever written. No planned release yet.
