Author: TheResurrectionist Fandom: Batman

Summary: A mysterious force connects the Batfamily's minds together.

Readers Notes: This fic is going to live with me forever. I’m going to be sitting in a lecture hall thinking about this fic. I’m going to be at the grocery store, thinking about this fic. It’s going to be with me when I die. Mind meld is not a trope I usually reach for when I’m looking for something to read. It’s a difficult trope to do well, and with this cast of characters it needs to be handled delicately. However, this fic has amazing characterization, wonderful writing, and is surprisingly feel-good. DC could stand to learn something from TheResurrectionist. TDLR; this fic has me gnawing and rattling at the bars of my cage, go read it!

Mirage fused with Noah

So Noah and Mirage may have mentally merged.

So when Noah first uses Mirage's hand weapon thingy he has literally no idea how to use it. But when Mirage dies and armors Noah he suddenly knows how to basically do almost anything.

Blaster? Yeah he made one out of his hand

Back rocket? No sweat, it can be a jetpack too!

Face mask? With everything else why not

The only being who knows how to do all of that is Mirage himself. So on some mental level Mirage and Noah have merged, enough for Noah to know how to instinctively use the bot's body armor for battling Scourge.

The post credit scene also brings this up. How did Noah know how to rebuild Mirage? Noah is shown to only work with small electronics, not large machinery like cars.

Not only that but Mirage is a literal alien, his body isn't a one and done car. Noah somehow fixed an alien. An Alien!

The only beings that would know Mirage's schematics would be a doctor, a creator(if he was manufactured) or Mirage himself. The most plausible option would be Mirage somehow giving Noah the quite literal body plan.

So Noah is somehow fused with Mirage, on a subconscious or higher level. It's possible that after Mirage got his body back his mind is either still connected to Noah or there is a copy of his mind in Noah's head.

There so many possibilities that could be taken with this, by Hasbro or fanfiction writers. Mostly fanfiction authors. Especially fanfic authors because Hasbro is too scared to write about two guys sharing a mental link because it'll be too gay.

Summary: The end of duet didn't pan out exactly how they hoped it would.

Read On A03

Knock, knock.

Laura sighed. “What do you want McKay?”

“I'm hoping that you have something of mine.”

She unlocked the door and averted her eyes. She could feel the door being opened, could feel him standing in the doorway, one foot over the threshold.

Her throat buzzed as he cleared his. "Do you have the wave equation?" He leaked misery. "Because I don't remember it and it's basic low-level basic. So, I-i can't ask anyone-" His embarrassment had her stomach rolling, "and Zelenka is talking at me. I don't know what to do and honestly, it's his fault you were stuck in there in the first place, and I-"

Oh god. She could feel everything. His fucking anxiety, his anger. Could hear every self-deprecating comment about his inadequacies, and-. She covered her mouth as bile rose in her throat. Fuck, fuck. She could feel him bouncing on the balls of his feet and waving his arms around, feel his mouth moving a mile a minute as his fingers rubbed together.

"McKay, calm the fuck down, you're making me nauseous."

"Huh." She felt him freeze. “That’s what that is?” She felt him swallow, “Sorry.”

She took a deep breath and focused on the wave formula. It wasn't that difficult to find. His memories had a very specific feeling about them. A feeling she could only describe in one comprehensible way, a coplanar straight line. The description, while apt, was one she never would have used before the incident.

“Is this it?” Laura pushed the memory toward him, grimacing as his past thoughts and emotions clung to her. She felt him reach out. The sucking sensation as he reabsorbed the information had her jaw clenching.

McKay let out a breath, "Oh, thank god."

Laura braced herself a second before his brain lit up like the fourth of fucking July. The emotions blinded her, her synapses overloading. She gagged and covered her mouth as everything tilted. You'd think such an emotionally constipated man wouldn't feel that much. But no, he felt so much that it was overwhelming and neigh impossible to articulate. No wonder he pushed others away. It was awful.

Laura gripped her head. "Is that all?"

"Yeah,” He sighed. "I- 'll probably have to do that more often than I would like." She could feel his mouth fluttering uselessly, hands flexing as he curled his fingers, his eyes blinking rapidly.

She tightened her eyes as another wave of nausea hit her. "Fine, but could you go now?"

"Right, right." He said, falling quiet. She could still feel him lingering, the man rocking slightly in the doorway.

“McKay!”

"I'll fix it." He whispered before closing the door.

Laura groaned, trying to block him out. She’d thought that being in his head was bad. But this? It wasn't like being in his head at all. No, that was like being trapped in a room in his house. She could look out the window, talk with him, and every once in a while she could reach through the door, but not much else. Now, they were neighbors. Laura frowned. No, they were closer than that. They were in a hotel, a door connecting their rooms. She scrunched her nose up. And he wouldn’t fucking stop coming over to ask for a cup of information-filled sugar. She threw her pillow angrily. Wincing at her childish display as it smacked against the wall and slid down.

It wasn’t his fault. Some of their thoughts had been scattered around and the only way to get them back was to venture into the other person’s room. Honestly, that could have been manageable. Just hand the memory over and go back to our separate spaces unburdened.

But no, the walls were too fucking thin for that.

The man had constant narration twenty-four-fucking-seven, in stereo. She could barely function with the constant thrum of his rambling. His voice overlapped several times over, some arguing, others complaining, many worrying. Laura tightened her fists trying to block it all out. God, and the numbers, so many fucking numbers. She could see them in her mind. Shit, she could feel them coming from the door, they slipped through the cracks and spiraled out of the keyhole.

It was maddening.

She closed her eyes. She wished she could reverse the process. Or at the very least go back to when he was nothing more than a tiny pinprick of awareness in the back of her skull.

 Knock, knock.

Her eyes flashed open. Fuck, he already needed more sugar?

 Knock, knock.

She stared at the door. Maybe he would go away if she ignored him.

 Knock, knock.

No. She couldn’t do that. It was his sugar after all.

She felt the tips of his fingers pressing against the door, “Cadman?”

Laura sighed and unlocked it. “What do you want McKay?”

Reunited

Inspired by HTTYD Some lore ramblings behind the art below the cut:

For this art, I was thinking "what if Zelda hadn't been completely restored after the end of the game?" Perhaps she'd still have many draconic features. Probably more than what I gave her here. As far as lore, this is what I had in mind:

Link would notice she doesn't feel comfortable going back to the Lookout the way she is, so they'd camp out in the wilds for a few days, maybe travel a bit, do his best to make her feel better. Yet, no matter what he tries, she's so insecure she can hardly find it in herself to open up about her problems. This would eventually cause her to run away, trying to free Link of the burden she's become. She's changed so much, Zelda can hardly see herself as a person anymore, much less the person Link used to love.

Her scars…are probably half from the imprisoning war and half from her escapade. She might be able to defend herself with her new body, but Hyrule is still not completely safe. In a sense, she matches Link in that regard, her body carrying the history of Hyrule in its every inch.

She spends a long time running, hiding, avoiding her problems and herself. Still, Link always finds her. His unwavering devotion will always bring him back to her, to whatever corner of the world she goes.

This is the moment I wanted to portray, where he's just seeing her for the first time in months, maybe years with the entirety of totk. She's changed so much, she's so afraid of what she's done and will do to him. Yet, he's here. He loves her, and will love her, so deeply, nothing she could ever do would change that, and that's the first thing he wants her to know. I want them to have that conversation, to show her that change is a part of growing, and how he wants to grow together with her, no matter what comes. TL;DR: I wanted to put the blorbos in this scene with an entirely different context.

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things. #people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time. #but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized. #sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement. #this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex. #and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love. #our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!! #it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild.... #anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that. #silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff. #love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that. #kiss kiss (<— lovelessly) #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

I want. Four to get appreciation. Because

Four gave a ton of unnoticed help when Twilight was injured

The fight with Wild was difficult, and I know we're all concerned about his negative view of the shadow crystal

But Four did something that no one else really thought of to help- He took care of Twi's stuff

From the beginning he told Twilight to not worry about them

So Four took care of pretty much everything but the others (that Sky and Wars handled)

He took care of Epona

Which is so very important- he took care of Twilight's horse. After her arrival at the stable Four followed up on her

And for Epona, a horse so attached to her human, having some company can help so much for reassurance

He took care of Twilight's stuff

He got Twi's shield- his bags and equipment, and organized it into one place

And he was worried. He obviously found the shadow crystal while handling Twi's stuff, but his negative reactions to it were out of concern.

Also- because of his placement in this scene

I'm fairly convinced Four was ready to start cooking before Wild showed up (since he's beside the counter with food supplies). At the very least he had the basket of fruit out for everyone -but he was literally standing with food behind him- he thought of everything

And he did housekeeping!

Wars payed for the inn, so Four took care of the inn

Realistically these boys were probably not too concerned with tidyness. Four got all of Twi's things on one table, and took care of the room they stayed in

Organizing tables and Twi's things, having food supplies ready, and opening the curtains- overall he was the one tidying up the inn

Four helped in a huge way! He took care of Twi's horse (Epona is so important), his equipment and shield and bag, as well as the other rooms in the inn

Four filled in all the little tasks that others didn't think of. He helped in ways that were needed, but not obvious

There's a lot of problems with the shadow crystal and with Wild, and I don't know what's gonna happen in the future

But don't forget this- don't forget that Four was one who stepped up in an almost unnoticeable way

Don't forget that when everyone was barely holding it together, Four visited Twilight's horse and took care of his things

No matter what develops in the future- this amount of care shown is important ya know?

#epona is so important #Lu four #linkeduniverse #linked universe #I work with horses and #Epona is INCREDIBLE- she's extremely attuned to humans and emotions. she doesn't scare easily and can keep her cool in a fight #but it's still super stressful to suddenly be in a fairly large and populated town- separated from her person #and for such an empathetic horse? Four going and TALKING to her- gently petting her nose and just being near her #means so so much! that literally matters so much to a horses mental state in a foreign situation- just having company #he checked on Epona and gave her company like !!!!!! it's so considerate and means so much for Epona! Four I love you !!!!! #uhhhh yeah! #with the food- I don't think the innkeeper would have free/complimentary food out- but wars wallet def had it covered #then wild showed up with potions in a cooking frenzy- but four was still shown with food behind him- he thought of everything #I don't know what's gonna happen with the shadow crystal and stuff. but no matter what happens in the future- this matters. #he did a ton of small things no one else thought of it matters he cares so much didjdkdksjfjj #I have a lot of posts I'm making/editing and trying to get to.
