Cards on the table

Look who's decided to show up! Thanks again for @hemi-demi for looking through the text for me <3

If you are new to this AU, or don't remember: It's called Gertrude is still around or GiSA

You can see my other posts for this au here: Gertrude is still around au on tumblr, or you can check out The AO3 if you want to read all the chapters in one place

Mare and Cal married, (cause I said they did)

Kilorn x Cameron

Cal is still afraid of Mare's dad, and also her older brothers

And somehow her younger sister

They help Farley take care of the baby

At one point, (before they were married) Mare's dad held Cal at gunpoint

Mare and her mom thankfully intervened

Later on, he and Cal developed a bond after he realized that he liked fixing stuff and building stuff

He and Cameron would chat for hours on that

Mare and Morrey would also be sitting there but would get bored with them yapping

So they yapped about random things

They both loved books and would be geeking over them while Cal and Cameron geeked over machines (lol, I forgot the term)

Diana mended her relationship with her dad

They healed Gisa's hands

and uh....

I can't remember anymore

I'm sorry

but that's it

Restricting to characters he hasn't met:

To Kilorn: . . . do I know you?

To Gisa: you are. so tiny. put down the sewing needle--

To Cameron: Interesting. Did you know I revoked the measures? It was Mother and Father's idea to implement them, not mine. You're welcome in my court anytime, you know.

To Shade: . . . righttttt. Why are you haunting me again? I feel like ghosts should have better things to do

To Bree: You could try to beat me up, true, but why not try my brother first? He's closer, more in reach, plenty awful to your darling sister, if not worse than I am . . . I don't see why not

To Carmadon: Do you like theater? You seem like the type. Why don't we talk about that instead?

To Coriane Jacos (also a ghost): . . . find yourself another bathtub and drown in it

To Daniel Barrow: I ended the war that took your leg. Will nothing satisfy you?

To Ella: . . . Mare wears the dye better, but points for the inspiration

To Nix: My condolences about your daughters, my brother truly is a monster

To Rafe: Given how well Mare pulls off the dye, you'd think someone else could, but at this point? No.

To Ruth Barrow: In fairness, I only tried to kill her once. And do you really need your daughter, like, right there? At all times?

To Tramy Barrow: Wait, is this the Bree one again? Didn't we go over this already?

To Sara (bc she can speak now): Still can't make good use of that tongue of yours, can you?

Welcome to major depression - with the lack of Bailiff and disarray of Prime Authority, Fork without a purpose is a sad sight, poor guy doesn't even cut hair anymore. He never sleeps and give zero effort on patrol. (Spoon out here living his best life doing nothing)

As for the rest of the Maintenance Squad (which is never formed), 500 looses his freedom of expression and conforms to a clerical life under 5000. Fours injury was deemed too significant and he was recycled. Spots was saved from recycling by forged medical docs and lives in the storerooms, counting supplies. Griz get the best deal as he simply defects and becomes a junk trader, dealing primarily in weapons.

No plans but potential I'd never considered as the Three Idiots Dreamer was born when Rufus was around 18. So depending on how early intervention with other clone factories goes, the brothers could encounter the original Dreamer (and Kenny before his growth spurt).

As for Cou.... Yeah Cou would still be a danger to find. Not much could fix her.

Gisa certainly lends an ear to the disillusioned Organon on their walk. Learning they have other options and Hermes is still alive, whispers spread among the the troops...

With the latest episode of Thunder Junction's magic story, we're introduced to Oko's gang of Outlaws as Annie Flash decides to take him up in his offer. We learn that it was Ashiok who actually hired them to find the vault which is known as Maag Taranau. Akul and the Hellspurs built the town of Tarnation around the vault in an attempt to control it. Okoi was hired to find the keys to the vault.

I'm a big big big fan of the Innistrad story. Like, super big. Gissa and Geralf are always fun perspectives and this time was no different. I also liked the art shown. Specifically this one:

Because A) Phyrexian Cathars are cool, and B) because it's a Phyrexian of the Machine orthodoxy that has style. The belts, cape, and prayer tags are great additions.

As for Eldraine, it was fine. I'm not a fan of Rankle, (and he has terrible taste, I mean, he falls for her then he sees this:
