#wtst

I did. not mean for them to line up like this

I'm late to the anniversary of the first chapter, so I'll have to make do with the anniversary of the final chapter.

Thank you so much to everyone who has read WtST and left kudos, comments, or even just taken a peek at it for curiosity's sake; I know I haven't been posting much for it lately, but it still remains one of my favorite AUs to think about, and it's been so so much fun to share Emmet's suffering with you all

Much, much love to you all, and thank you again!

Redraw of little thumbnail sketch 6 on doodle page 2 in this post.

warmup of The Blorbo, stars I haven't drawn him in weeks

"This is my blorbo, I love him a lot. Can you tell?" (yes that is the Family Guy death pose he's doing)

"Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" Arrow pointing to Emmet: "Hasn't slept in ~ 2 days Arrow pointing to Emmet: "Stood up too fast :<"

POV you are Kamado at the Temple of Sinnoh and the Weird Guy you banished and his death ghost fire weasel have Had Enough

I need to figure out how to harness my sleep-deprived 3AM self's innate creative drive and aim so that I can use it during regular, healthily-awake hours

Emmet is transported to Hisui.

He became five or six years old.

When he comes back, Ingo learns that he will now become a father.

Extremely late answer, sorry, Anon.

I feel that Arceus would get punched by a very irate Subway Boss in that scenario, I love it.

This has spawned many words in the master document, as my brain has decided to positively gnaw on this idea, and alas, nothing is finished yet, so have a bit of worldbuilding and some drawings in the meantime.

Worldbuilding and close-ups under the cut, and please click on the images for better quality.

And again, thank you so much for the ask, Anon, this was really fun! ^^

The he

The he, with hat!

The he, now with emotional support fire weasel (who I always manage to make look far too much like a cat, somehow)

The Wurmple has claimed his face, it belongs to the worm now

Sleepytime, do not wake them, Typhlosion bites

Luxray, kill

Jailed for smol crimes (and probably enormous mischief)

Got a wound on his cheek, this will not stop the shenanigans

Typhlosion bites, yes, but also. Garchomp

He comes back about the same way, yeah, only this time he has Akari and Rei with him and isn't as injured. They get dropped in the middle of Gear Station, and either find or are found by Ingo.

Ingo recognizes Emmet pretty much immediately, and vice-versa. Mildly inconveniently, this only confirms to Akari and Rei that the two are related, and does nothing to specify.

Cue the two of them basically going, "Oh, thank the Seas, you know him. Are you his father?"

Needless to say, Ingo was expecting nothing about this entire thing, least of all being mistaken for Emmet's father, of all things.

There's definitely a level of general chaos going on after that because Ingo needs to be given context for literally everything about this situation (who are you two, where on Earth did you come from, why is my brother less than half the age he should be), Akari and Rei need to be caught up on the fact that, yes, this is the future (why is everything so shiny, why is everything so loud), and Emmet -- honestly, Emmet probably just wants to lie down, so maybe his shenanigans are put on hold for a bit (he falls asleep perched on Ingo's lap, having latched onto his neck for a hug and then passing out).

They wind up settling down in a currently-unused office. Ingo takes the rest of the day, and then the rest of the week, off.

Once he finds out why Emmet is how he is, plans are immediately set into motion to go to Sinnoh. Much chaos happens in the interim, because there are reunions to be had, introductions to be made, also Emmet has gotten his required nap and is ready to Cause Problems, as he does.

(Ingo has never been happier to drag Emmet off by the collar for pestering someone)

Arceus gets yelled at. Very loudly. The llama is certifiably verbally reamed and is then strongarmed into fixing Emmet's age. But quickly changing an eight-year-old to be three times his physical age would be extremely stressful, and probably bloody, so Arceus settles for a more gradual, if still uncomfortable, change.

(They don't leave Sinnoh just yet. No, they go just far enough from the temple to find a place to sleep and no farther, because if this doesn't go well, Ingo refuses to waste time traveling any further than is absolutely necessary to "negotiate" with Arceus again)
