Random Encounters - InterNutter - The Adventure Zone (Podcast) [Archive of Our Own]
Once again, I play with the idea of Taako being Angus’ primary parental from an earlier passage of time. Like. WAY earlier.
Like “practically from birth” earlier.
We all love writing how Ango could legitimately [or illegitimately] be a son of the Starblaster crew. I just went with a really unlikely pairing.
Balance/Amnesty crossover idea!
I have a plot. It’s such a plot. A crazy plot. A silly plot…
Okay enough riffing on Professor Elemental. This would take place shortly after the disaster of Idiot World, so the crew are EXTREMELY cautious of interacting with a tech world again.
But the Light and the Abomination somehow coalesce into a new threat for the Hunters in the Manongaheela(?) National Park. The first anyone knows about anything is a rash of child abandonments in the park. Kids aged between five and ten are just… found. Wandering lost and scared (and all alone, and there was darkness and… stop riffing on Steam Powered Giraffe) with fragmented memories that may or may not match the rash of missing adults.
Ned insists he’s seen a four-eyed creature in the woods. All he ever sees is the eyes. They’re in a row, and highly reflective. Green, two ambers, and another green. The encounters are seconds brief, and it dashes away before he can get a decent blurry photo.
Visitors who are NOT missing adults or suddenly-found children swear they’ve seen two golden-haired kids wandering in the forest. Always from a distance, always running away the instant they’re spotted. One hippie/crunchy new age type was meditating in the woods and when they came out of it, they had been robbed blind. Sort of. Whoever they were stole their boots, all their food, and every single coin they had on them.
Duck has been finding campsites. Unauthorised campsites. Always long since cold. Always full of signs that someone’s been poaching. And the immediate area shows signs of foraging. He knows someone’s living off the park, but he’s damned if he can track them.
And then these two strangers come into town. Fresh-faced kids in weird gear. Who are asking about a set of twins they’ve mislaid. And they’re both kind of young to be parents…
The Monster of the Week is sucking time from its victims. Reducing them to an age where they’re more or less helpless. Or, at the very least, incapable of putting up much resistance. Of course the twins, being 140-something, were a fucking feast for the beast.
It can’t eat anyone under forty years of age. So it’s up to the babies of the crews to save the day.
Good plot? Bad plot? Shiny? Let me know.
Y’all are gonna hate me…
…cause I’m almost hating this spontaneous headcannon of mine.
[This one flies in the face that Kravitz had a tragic death and gave his services to the Raven Queen]
You know how there’s like weird death cults in just about every story involving drama+Kravitz, or how the ppl who worship the Raven Queen have this hinky reputation?
Well…
Odd Numbers
Nothing lasts. Taako knows this as an Elf who has lived over 150 years. But the things he fears losing? Those have assumed expiration dates.
Taako freaks out over past patterns in his history and his family is there to help him get over it.
On the Road Again - Chapter 1 - InterNutter - The Adventure Zone (Podcast) [Archive of Our Own]
The saga of When We Were Us continues. Starting with a nightmare, dissociation, and a grounding technique.
@twinsweek | Day 7 : Post Canon
Dinner with the boys! Lup is in the middle of a very elaborate, barely appropriate, mostly-but-not-all-the-way true story about the IPRE days.

[AN: My site’s down again, so I’m mining the #prompt tag on Tumblr until normal services resume. We apologise for the inconvenience]
Lucretia groaned. On one hand, she knew which twin this was. On the other, it was devastatingly shocking how quickly certain types amongst the crew got used to the annual re-set. Two dozen worlds, she reminded herself. Two dozen realities, and some of us are already flippant about death.
Beside her, Taako cast Minor Illusion to make them look like a bunch of rocks, just like the rest of the random scramble of stones where they were hiding. “Gotta laugh at it or I start screaming, Luce. My sister’s out there.”
If it was Lup in his place, she would have incinerated the guards, blown their cover, and literally burned a path between them and their goal. The Light. Which was now in a heavily-guarded keep in a civilisation more advanced than the one their crew had started from.

Contains some details of childbirth. And a snooty doctor.
Duck Newton: (sigh) mah actual first name is pronounced MAY-lard…
Everyone else: (busts a gut trying not to laugh)
Duck: Ah see y'all guessed the spelling right off the bat…
I know someone in the TAZ fandom was looking for this a little while ago.
Enjoy.
