TURBO WINS - X'S LAMENT [YT LINK]

-----

A collab between me and @qephyr >:]

If Turbo won, we thought it would look something like this... Oh, and CW for implied main character death. PLEASE ENJOY!! THIS TOOK US BOTH 4 MONTHS LOL (Qephyr did the drawings I did the editing)

Calhoun drawing...

Mr. Garbage Traitor Grandpa has absolutely ZERO right to be giving out parenting criticism, but at the same time, Vanellope doing the equivalent of walking into an angry tiger’s den after taping a bunch of fish all over herself and throwing rocks at it isn’t the greatest look 😂

I’m so sorry I take so long to reply to AO3 comments but I need you all to know that I love them dearly and y’all are so funny omfg

Everyone is going through it and Ralph thought group therapy might be a good idea. After all Bad-Anon worked for him so it’s worth a shot, right? Felix agrees and offers to be a therapist because it’s just listening to others and help finding coping mechanisms for their problems. Sounds easy enough. They set up the room and manage to find a chair big enough for Candy (somehow) and try it out

This is how it’s going

They make me sick/silly

The sudden movement had Calhoun put on high alert too, and her hand instinctively fell to the gun in her holster, though she managed to regain conscious control of her movements before making the mistake of aiming it at him. Instead, she raised up both hands, as though to signal she came in peace.  “Didn’t mean to startle you. You weren’t responding when I called.” She said to him, then gestured to the stack of heal kits she’d brought on the hoverboard behind her. “I’m Sergeant Calhoun. Vanellope told you I’d be coming, didn’t she?” ‘Tammy’, he quickly realized. While it was with great reluctance, King Candy managed to force himself to settle down, lying back in the water, though kept cautious eyes locked onto the soldier’s every movement. She moved the heal kits closer to him, making a point of keeping her demeanour mild and non-threatening, though it looked very ill-practiced on her. While it could be his rattled nerves setting him off again, Candy could swear there was some level of animosity bubbling just underneath her surface, barely contained only due to Vanellope’s insistence.  “I brought you some healing items from my cabinet.” She said, eyeing the bug’s multitude of wounds for a brief moment, “Hopefully these will be enough, but I can always get more, if need be.”

Part One

Please note that this fic is in no way connected to Kill Switch. I’m reusing Cy-bug Sinistar as a (very temporary this time) villain, and there will probably be some similar vibes in how the characters develop their friendships, but the stories themselves have absolutely no narrative connection to each other. This is a different WIR fic starting from scratch.
