Due to the really freaking long conversation, this chapter is full of things I don't own.  I do not own the lyrics to the chemistry song, and the 'remember, remember' parody is something I saw on Reddit.  I also don't own Google or epi-pens or AC/DC.  I don't own The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.  Oh, and I don't own the characters or the setting.

This is the chapter in which the angst factor skyrockets, and everybody freaks out a little, so I hope the emotions came through all right! And, as always, thank you all so much for reading.  I had to split this chapter into two parts, because it's too long to post on livejournal.

I still own nothing.  Everybody except the cops (c) to DreamWorks.

( The ride out of town is quiet. )

I own nobody but Nibs.  Also, can I just say that I really, really wish English had an acceptable, widely-used gender-neutral pronoun that isn't "it" and isn't plural? Writing about Nibs is hard, I keep sitting here going "I wonder if 'it' is clear enough or I should reword the sentence."

You are all amazing and I love you.  I love that you seem to ( Read more... )

Chapter 5
( When Roxanne gets back to the Lair, she has her coat unbuttoned and her gloves off before she walks in the door, and one of the brainbots takes her things and disappears with them. )

Here we are, chapter 4!  Look who's finally updating her livejournal!  And, hoy, so much research went into this one. Dialects and slang and organized crime and group dynamics, I don't even know anymore. I still am not sure that this would hold up under the scrutiny of anyone who has experience in the area, but I've done the best I can (and if you ( Read more... )

Last one, folks.  At least for a while; there may be an epilogue someday but not for a couple of months, at least.  This was so much fun, though, not gonna lie.  I may have to do the occasional one-shot in this 'verse.

Chapter 4
( And there was uproar in Metro. )

This one was harder to write. Bernard, especially, in this AU, was hard to write.  I can't tell you much about his character, but I can tell you he must be less of a jackass than he seems or he wouldn't end up with Wayne (who is picky as hell about who he dates, even though he doesn't seem like he would be).  That's a thing that happens in this ' ( Read more... )

Super-short one this time!  In which the angst factor increases. I pulled out all the stops on this one, I really did.

Roxanne is stupid and I want to poke her in the eye and tell her to not be stupid.  This Roxanne and Megamind are not half as communicative as Cold Fusion Roxanne and Megamind.

Chapter 2

( When Roxanne opens her eyes, she’s in Metro Hospital and she aches all over. )
