So, I have the plot in my head that’s like, THE plot. And that involves no universes meeting and just AR and beforus trolls and co figuring their shit out and doing plotty things.
But then I *also* have this hypothetical future crossover plot in my head that would be set somewhere vaguely after “the” plot and involve folks from the GPDFF (winning) verse getting together a search party to go check on AR. Which is possibly a bit self-indulgent because I don’t know how well it holds up from a plot/continuity/character-building stand point, but it entertains me to think about.
–partly because I like crossovers, but also partly because I think it would be amusing to let AR get all settled into his new world and position in it and then challenge him with “surprise, here’s the REAL version of you again.”
(And I guess this is loosely the canon I imagine for “Probably We’ll All Survive”, wherein it’s the future and they’re doing… cross universe random drop-ins for family bonding purposes? Look, it doesn’t need to be sensible if it satisfies a need, ok? :pp)
*edit* Also he reacts by being a massive standoffish asshole preemptively because what if rejection???
except Seb’s all like “don’t be a dick, Bro” and is all quietly super pleased to see Jane and such and so AR has to resentfully tolerate their presence while angsting and then there is character growth and (eventually) bonding.
