#subversion 1

A certain street in Spirale City had come alive with activity for all of the wrong reasons. Police tape blocked an entire section off as paramedics and first responders rushed to the scene and police cars flashed red and blue. Lancelot was at the forefront of all of it, urging citizens to stay back.

There was one place Mokou wanted to be when she had the free time to leave Fibonacci. It was strange for her to keep around someone from her old life, but Justine was her friend, her only friend, and she wasn’t going to give that up. It helps that Archimedes was the opposite way from Cotes, so running into anyone else was unlikely. Mokou recalled that Justine’s parents were the strict perfectionist sort, so she knew not to just go through the front. Instead, she had gotten good at leaping over fences and, more importantly, climbing through windows without being seen. Was Justine home yet even? Well, Mokou’d find out, won’t she?

[drink always found its way back into his palm in one way or another. tonight, he hadn't even tried to force it away.]

[he supposed his resolve was getting weaker.]

[seated in a dusty corner of an archimedes bar, cheap beer in his hand, as usual, he was alone. a lonely life for a lonely moth. but as it turned out, someone else had different ideas as to how his night should go.]

[and, at least that person was a familiar one. though shiroki might have been a bit startled.]

[jumping a bit at the colors shifting in his peripheral, he looked in surprise towards the person who had sat down across from him, his shoulders relaxing once he realized who it was.]

oh.

it's just you.

[he offers an attempt at a smile, though it just looked lopsided and forced. as... most of his smiles did these days.]

   コアゲーマー┊ Yaiba tugs his husbands shirt, trying to gain his attention from the shorter animal. Ever since he could remember... Crow was always the loud type. Easily excited over the landscape before them whenever they go for a walk. The hedgehog loved the land, Yaiba knew that much. His eyes shimmering full of faith, his voice ever so enthusiastic. Indeed, Yaiba fell in love with a nerd like Crow...  I̦͊n̙͒ ̰̒r̦͑e͎̚a̫͝l̻̽ï̲ţ͘y͓͘,̖̈́ ̳̕t͇͘h̭̕e̹̒y̪̐ ̧̆w̝̔e̦͒r̬̎ë̩ ̺̾j̡͂u̲̿s̘͋t͍̿ ̡̀b̟͗ä̠́n̳̔d͉̾ṃ̈́a̬̚ẗ̖ẹ̈s͍̒.̮̈́ ̫̚T̪̑h͒͜e̝͂ỳ̘ ̈́ͅṇ̃e̱͗v̥͛ĕ͇r̙̅ ̘̐m̥̐ḁ̄r̬̋r̻̀i̳̓e̳͆d͙͛,̠̔ ̗̑ṱ̒h̨͋e̬͛ÿͅ ̲͌n̰̅ę̀v̖̈e̘͘r̻̅ ̳͠ḫ̌á͕ḓ̊ ̳̉a̹͝ ͍͂ṙ͉i̡͛n͙͑g̡̍ ͎͋ȯ̤n̡̓ ̪̃t̯̐h͔̆e̬͐ǐ̬r̩͛ ̡̀f̯̑ĩ̤ṋ̅g͙̈e͕̓r̨̚.̣̿ ̙̊J̼̇u̝̓s̙͝t͍̓ ̹̋w̹̚o̯͗r̲̎d͓̂s͕̈ ͔̏a̲͋n̗͝d͉͊ ̡̂t̼͆h͍͐e̼̓ ̫͐c͉̆ō̱m͙̚f̙̓o̧͑r̼̈t̬͐ ͍̔ȏ̦f̺̾ ͔͛k̖̅n͇̐o͓͒ẃ̞i̞̒ň̼ĝ̪ ̱͘ë̢a̮͋ċ͖ḥ̈́ ̮͘ö̮́t̝̆ĥ̖e̠͂r͕̽.̮͂ They truly loved each other.

   コアゲーマー┊ The gamer grabs his bag, in it was his switch and both their 3ds. To be honest... the fox was a little awkward with showing affection. His husband was one that warranted a lot of attention. One that he could not always provide him with, unfortunately. 

   ❝ If you’d like to, we can play       animal crossing, or something       tame, love? I just want to make       you happy. ❞

"ARADIA WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!!!” William’s voice comes out something of a shriek as natural daylight suddenly floods his room with little more warning than the small succession of knocks his friend tapped against the door before flying in like a wrecking ball and starting to tear curtains opens and let fresh air filter into their stuffy surroundings. Game control still firmly clasped in hand, he almost hisses, raising an arm to shield himself from the bright assault on his irises.

“Sigh... He’s as popular as ever, isn’t he.”

The cop watched the actor struggle with the crowd that had amassed around him before he finally felt enough pity to bail him out of the situation. Lancelot raised his arm and waved to Lucio as his voice rang loud and clear over the clamoring of the avid fans.

“Heeeey, Lucio! You’ve got your next gig coming up! You’d better hurry on over to the boulevard! The cameramen were wondering where you were!”

“Ohmigosh, are you going to be in another show, Lucio-sama!?” “That guy said it was at the boulevard? Maybe we can get a glimpse of the filming!” “Let’s go, let’s go!”

And with that, the crowd eventually dispersed. Lancelot walked over to Lucio with a light chuckle. 

“Are you alright?”

Subversion AU for Lancelot!

Presently:

A police officer. He may or may not be part of Spirale’s Police Department since I haven’t actually gotten around to having him apply for it, but he’s definitely a police officer

Everything else is pretty much the same. 

Pre-established relationships:

Olivia is his longtime partner-in-justice 

He met Lucio a few years ago when Lucio was caught up in a stalker incident and Lancelot was assigned as his security detail. Even after arresting the perpetrator, he and Lucio have remained in contact and are good friends 

He followed the “Rag Demon” case until it went cold. He doesn’t know who the so-called “Rag Demon” is, but he’s still determined to find out and bring him to justice even after being told that it’s useless to pursue the case. He also has had an inkling that that wasn’t all there is to it...
