In The Lost World 3x10, Malone is hit with a poisoned dart, which sends him into a vivid and violent war flashback. Roxton, understanding best the horrors of the front-lines, steps up to calm his friend down.

APPEALING TO FANS OF THE LOST WORLD AND TALES OF THE SOUTH SEAS
I am hunting a fanfiction named After The Storm written by author Mary Whimsey. You may also know it as episode 215 of Mary Whimsey and Susan Zell's Second Virtual Season of Tales of the South Seas. I've hunted down every other episode of this series of fanfics (and may I just say they're fucking incredible) via the Wayback Machine but this one continues to elude me. I have a Russian translation of it, of all things, which I've just run through google's auto translate, but you can understand why that's maybe not the best.
If anyone has a copy, or knows any place it might be found I BEG YOU send it my way or give me any clue you can, because I'm at my wits end!
Oh, and you early Lost World fans know why this is directed at you guys too ;)

The Lost World (1999-2002) - TBU
Ned Malone (David Orth) is especially often to get hit over the head in this series.
Honorable mention: William Snow as Lord John Richard Roxton & Peter McCauley as Professor George Edward Challenger

Muppet The Lost World - My Ideas For An Adaptation
A muppet adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyale’s novel, The Lost World would be awesome to me as both a paleo fan and Muppet fan.
Illustrations of the events in the book as reference point for the story: https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/07/vintage-dinosaur-art-lost-world-ladybird.html
For that concept I’d say reuse elements from the cancelled ‘The Natural History Project’: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Natural_History_Project, and possibly the classic show, Dinosaurs. Extra points if they were to 1) use dinosaurs that were actually native to South America in the late Cretaceous period as the ones that make an appearance in the story. Maybe have a few less popular/well known ones thrown in? 2) it’d be great if they get real creative and colourful with the designs based on the new waves of paleo art, discoveries and mindset of the present. Heck, I wouldn’t be against a blend of a retro vibe to it, say, the 80s - 2000’s? I mean, for example, take a loot at these.
Not at all your typical bland and dull colours. https://mobile.twitter.com/delgadosaurus/status/1336366307545993216
As well as the newer stuff too: https://mobile.twitter.com/serpenillus/status/796060690347859968, I mean, does that NOT look like a muppet Jim Henson Co. would make? More of their art too: https://mobile.twitter.com/SerpenIllus
The opening number has an eerie sort of vibe w/ a heavy mysterious aura. Sung by people and animals that live down at the bottom of the plateau/in the area. Telling of the strange noises and shapes they faintly see up there through the mist and fog. Going something like this:
“🎶 All those who go, up on that plateau; death is their fate as such ancient dangers await; a land unchanged and secrets untold from the time of old; great adventures unfurled in this mysterious Lost World. 🎶”.
Now for the casting, I say Miss Piggy as Professor Challenger. In the novel the man is brash, loud and a boxer type. That’s exactly who she is and easily fit into the role.... other than the detail of his great dislike of the press. Piggy is all for showing off. As a change to the story, maybe have it that her dislike of the press is because they printed an image on the news of herself when she had a bad hair day and has since resented them. Or that the laughter, doubt and disbelief of her recent South American expedition has left her extremely jilted and humiliated. Among the crowd are Statler and Waldorf who heckle her. Though deep down she craves for that attention again, but without a good amount of proof and witnesses to back up her claims it seems fruitless. As well as the reputation of her temperament scaring off potential joiners of her travels.
As for Kermit’s role, I’d cast him as Summerlee, a doubter and estranged colleague of Challenger. A rift formed and they split.
Other muppets on the trip would be Gonzo, an publisher/editor-in-chief of the Daily Gazette (re-named Gonzotte). He doesn’t like the stuffiness of the office so he goes to see Challenger to try and get a scoop on her recent expedition to South America, which is clouded with controversy as her claims are unbelievable. Another employee, Edward Malone (the only human for the journey) tags along seeking a dangerous assignment to impress the woman he loves, who wishes for a brave man. At the plateau, as a joke/gag for Gonzo is his sudden interest in one of the feathered dromeosaurs, say a Archaeopteryx or a Microraptor (or other). Be his equivalent to a man having the hots for a cave woman.
Sam Eagle is there as Lord John Roxton.
For their meal that gets stolen by the flying reptile, a pterosaur, it‘d be the same one they bring back to London at the end. Here they meet the little pterosaur when they make it up to the plateau recognizing them as the one that took their meal. They decide to stick around with the group and is later convinced to return to London with them. Promising of stardom and fame. Eventually though, she starts to get homesick and not really liking their cage, so the group, Summerlee, Gonzo and Edward and after some convincing, Challenger too, release her and she flies off. To return to her home, The Lost World.
As a nod to the first film adaptation in 1925, the bad guy is a large sauropod, Goliath. He is a bully to the other dinosaurs and prehistoric animals on the plateau, both herbivore and carnivore alike, because of his great size. It intimidating all the predators and makes them thinks twice about putting him on their menu list. Going as far as to claim that the lost world as his and his alone. He doesn’t like the intruders one bit and the guns they brought as it shifts the tides on his power and reign over everyone on the plateau. His demise is his own great size and mass as he falls to their death as the edge crumbles beneath his feet.
Now, this is about all I got on the matter for the time being. Feel free to critique this and what-not. I’m thinking that later on I’ll make some fan art to illustrate this idea of mine. Probably make changes too in later drafts. Later!

“I’ll use my own,” said Lord John Roxton, “in fitting a well-formed expedition and having another look at the dear old plateau. As to you, young fellah, you, of course, will spend yours in gettin’ married.”
“Not just yet,” said I, with a rueful smile. “I think, if you will have me, that I would rather go with you.”
Lord Roxton said nothing, but a brown hand was stretched out to me across the table.
-- The Lost World, by Arthur Conan Doyle
This is one of the most beautiful parts in the novel because (spoilers) Malone has just come back from the Lost World. The main reason he went was to impress Gladys. He comes back only to find her married, and she very callously mocks his effort to impress her. Naturally, Roxton thinks Malone is all set to marry Gladys, but when Malone says he'd rather go off with Roxton, Roxton doesn't question him. He just offers a hand that could be comfort, camaraderie, or both. Malone and Roxton will always be my brotp.
