Sometimes, I really like miss Joe Miller, Sad Disaster Man, the guy who found it in himself to give his life for something when he was so damn positive that he had nothing more of himself to give the world.
Update 24! Next update should be next week on monday and it’s going to be 10 pages long for the last part of this fancomic! Thank you for staying after that hellish last bunch of pages those two idiots get through.
So I need to figure out a Kidnapping AU actual official title and would love some feedback.
The premise is that waaay back in Year 2 (2027) of Newt’s possession by the Precursors and work for Shao, Hermann does something very uncharacteristic and decides to confront the man in his own home for vanishing on him, with the intension of getting some answers and then cutting Newt out of his life in return forever. Only to discover the full reality of Newt, and Alice, and the Precursor plan. Newt makes a desperate bargain to save Hermann’s life: Newt will work willingly for the Precursors, and in return Hermann is allowed to live but must be imprisoned forever alongside Newt, cut off from contact with the outside world so he cannot reveal the Precursors’ presence. A new status quo is forged: with the Precursors using Hermann’s safety as leverage against Newt to make him work harder for their goals, and with Hermann desperately searching for a way to get them both out alive without giving away any aspect of his plan to a man who has literally been inside his head.
– Kidnapping / The Kidnapped (short, simple, sweet, no one is wondering which fic it is :P)
– In Prisons (got a nice little auditory double-meaning with Imprisoned)
– The Prisoners (kinda feeling the Michelangelo Prisoner statues for a dramatic banner)
– Something a bit more focused on the emotional journey of the story??
– Something a bit more focused on the physical setting of the story (like an address, for example)
– The go-to pretentious Shakespeare quote, probably something about prisons 😛 Though I am a bit fatigued with historical literary references after TOWOID, so maybe just “pretentious quote title of some kind” is a better way to say it
– HALP I’M WRACKING MY BRAIN HERE – my only sense is that it would be short and punchy unlike TOWOID
