The Doorway: a panfandom game

Four hours, Nine stitches, three cups of coffee.

One wasted afternoon.

Thank you to the women who sat down for me so that I could paint them. I'm very nearly done with both paintings if you'd like to come by soon to take a look.

You're more than welcome to keep them if you like what you see.

Also I am very nearly done with this Skyhook, though I suppose it would be best to use on an actual hook system. It's disheartening to have to go through all of this again, but at least I already know the results.

If this isn't Limbo, then what is it? Is this my subconscious or Cobb's, and if it's mine, why would my own projections consider me a threat? And should I shoot myself to wake up? Cobb said dreams feel real when you're in them. But this feels way too weird.

WHO: Tony Stark (616) and Steve Rogers (616)
WHAT: Remember that time Tony pulled the plug on one of his best friends even though he was deeply conflicted about it and believed it was murder? Yeah, now Tony does, too.
WHEN: 4am on Monday, after this.
WHERE: Tony’s room
RATING: R for swearing, fighting, brief/mild touching, sexual innuendo, and the following triggers: alcoholism (including some rationalizing and talk of relapse), death (there’s some further arguing about the ethics of euthanasia), internalized homophobia, suicide & mental illness (brief mention of canon suicide and institutionalization of minor characters, and something that I guess you could call a joking reference to suicide,) and Tony Stark’s particular brand of self-loathing narcissism.

I like our apartment. I've gone down to find someplace to buy some stuff for us. So let me know if you want anything beyond the standard toothbrush and comb. But while I was walking I started thinking.

You don't think Larry's going to show up here do you? Because I suddenly started wondering if this is all his fault.

I understand this Network only goes out to Pott's Tower residents. It's probably a good thing, I can't imagine how many people would take advantage of it otherwise.

Happy fucking Father's Day, Dad. From your screw up of a son. You must be really disappointed. Got Grant killed. Got Riley fucked over. Not literally. That was Keith. Fucking Buck. Glad I killed that fucker. Thought I was some kind of fucking jungle warrior god when I was really just a stupid shithead white boy with delusions of grandeur thinking with his dick. God. Citra. Fuck.

Help. Run out of alcohol. Send more.

The captain who has been teaching me to sail offically offered me a job! Which means I am indeed woorking at the docks!

He also is trying to teach me more about American Football. Apparnetly I am supposed to be a fan of Eli Manning and I hate the New England Patriots. There was something about someone called Tebown? Or was it Tebow? I can't really remember, it was starting to give me a headache. I tried explaining that Quidditch is a real sport and pretty brilliant but the gave me a weird look when I explained dodging bludgers....

`

Has anyone ever woken up and gone "ALL RIGHT! IT'S MONDAY!"? Anyone? It's not that I hate my job -- I don't. But I've got a classroom that's half full, and half of that half is about ready to conk out. Apparently early morning chemistry isn't enough to perk 'em up.

So. How about a mindless question? Yeah, worst segue ever. Sue me. (Please don't.) If you were a dog, what kind of dog would you be?

Anyone know what the hell these little creatures are wandering the hallways?

FILTERED TO NATASHA ROMANOFF MCU:

You around?

One of my classmates showed me this today. ( cut for size, not filtered )

Apparently this is a Real Thing.

I think I'm really... touched, actually. It's probably one of the best things people could have taken away from learning my life story.

[Filtered to Septimus.]

There's something I'd like to ask you about. Something personal.

[Filtered to Sherlock (Elementary)]

About those overlapping circles.

As of Thursday, my beautiful, talented wife and I will have been married for an entire month. And we still haven't I know most people celebrate their anniversaries in years, but most people also imagine their relationship will last that long.

So! With that in mind, we're having a party on Saturday, as we're equally as shocked as you are. You're all invited. Bring your room keys, there'll be a dish.

To avoid any confusion, in a fit of boldness and after listening to a lot of 90s women empowerment songs, I've decided it's time for a change of wardrobe. New home, new body, right? Still Georgie or Georgina, whichever you prefer.

I think it's time to hit California.

FILTERED TO TONY STARK MCU:

I'm flying out to Malibu tonight on the jet. I've got some business there that will keep me away for the next month, including my annual meeting with Aldrich Killian. Yeah, that guy.

Don't worry. Happy is going with me, but you should think about coming out soon to save me from his insistence that everyone wear a badge around me. I'm pretty sure he spooked another version of you.

FILTERED TO NICK FURY 616:

Don't suppose you're around for an old friend who needs to talk?

FILTERED TO SHERLOCK HOLMES (ELEMENTARY)

So, randomly, just casually asking.

Are you still afflicted with IKEA stigmata, or is your hand feeling better?

Inara's gone.

Edit: And now they're sayin the capn's gone too.

I spent most of yesterday away from the tower, and I didn't get a chance to wish the fathers here a Happy Father's Day, so I hope you all had a good day.

My own feelings about Father's Day are complicated. I never knew my father, but I heard stories through my childhood, and while I can't give him credit for raising me, those stories inspired me to take the path that I did. If he hadn't died so early, and if I hadn't idolized him for joining the Army, maybe things would have been different. As it was, I looked up to him and I wanted to make him proud. Where my father wasn't there for me, my mother was. I owe more to her in my adult life than I do to my father, and I hope she's proud.

Days like these aren't just about the biological parents in our lives. There's much more to raising a child, and a lot of different ways to be a parent to someone. Those of you who have taken someone in who wasn't related to you deserve thanks, too, and a hell of a lot of credit for your selflessness and your heart. I also wanted to take a moment to thank the people here who have given me a reason to look at the day differently, because without you, I wouldn't be so lucky. This time last year, I hadn't imagined I'd be celebrating the day with a child of my own, but this situation we've found ourselves in has given me a lot of blessings, and it's taught me more about myself than almost anything else. So thank you, James, for allowing me to be a father to you here, and to Lyr Sadie, Matty, and Tinkerbell, for letting me into your lives too.

Who: Rapunzel and OPEN
When: Monday afternoon, before a shift at Ned's
Where: Just outside the tower and then ends inside.
What: Rapunzel wakes up late and has no time to braid her hair before heading to Ned's, which unfortunately causes an accident.

And your plans for Saturday are?

TEXT TO STEPHEN DEDALUS:

»I didn't wish you a happy Bloomsday because I did not think you would want to celebrate it feeling as you do about Leopold Bloom.
» Hopefully there weren't too many people sawing the air, drinking and offering you your own words on a much less exalted platter.

So.... Father's Day was yesterday.... it really made me miss my kids. If I was home, it's not like I'd have seen them straight in the morning, but I would have seen them at some point.

What do they even think happened? I mean, am I still back in New York somewhere? I don't really know what is going on and I don't like it. The only good thing about this place is that Olivia's here.

( Backdated to Yesterday, Left for Nick Fury (616) )

It's 85 degrees and sunny out.

Way to start the week out right, Monday.

Kids these days must be fed a strong dose of stupid. Just because an old man walks down an alley doesn't give you and a friend an advantage to jump him. I don't much care for giving out lessons, but I'm sure they learned one last night.

Spent yesterday out riding. Seemed ashame to let the gorgeous summer weather go to waste. Managed to take Bulletproof out on the trails and she did well. She's learning to respond to the hand signals pretty well. I could tell she was antsy, but I'm not quite at the point where I can jump her yet. Soon, hopefully. The sunburn I got is a small price to pay for the day's fun.

In working on the history of Starfleet, I thought it might be interesting to study the history of space exploration in this world as well. If anyone else is interested in either of these topic, I wouldn't mind setting up a discussion group of sorts - make sure I'm covering the right topics in my research.


[Crew of Enterprise (2009 movie)]

Yesterday had me thinking and I realized I wanted to say something. Starfleet is and always has been my family. Thank you for your courage, loyalty, and for standing up for what you believe in - even when it goes against orders. I couldn't have asked for a better crew.

It would seem moving is a great deal less of a hassle when you live in a building full of super-powered individuals. Many thanks to those who helped out.

APRIL, WHERE ARE YOU?

You need to come home RIGHT NOW. See, I was minding my own business. You know, hanging out, eating some cheetos, watching Dora Explore stuff, when I heard the weirdest sound outside. Less brave men might have hid in the bathtub with a blanket, but I tried that and my feet hung over the edge and gave me away not me. No way, not the Great and Powerful Andy Dwyer. So I open the door to try to figure out where all the racket's coming from, thinking maybe I'm going to have get medieval and open a can of Whoopeth-Arse, when much to my SURPRISE, I found the cutest furriest thing EVER wandering outside our door. It looked pretty lonely and lost, so I brought it inside.

I think it needs a bath though, honey, because the hair on the inside is not the same color as the hair on the outside. Also, the hair on the outside is dirt brown. Can we use people shampoo on it, or do we need to go to the pet store?

(By "we" I mean you because I am home and you are not.)

Can I talk to you about something?

I know this is a bit odd, but I imagine you would understand where I'm coming from better than most. It's about a mutual friend of ours, sort of.

I don't like this Tesseract. It keeps taking people I care about. Today it took Captain Mal and Inara. I'm afraid that it's going to take Simon again. I thought we were safe here. All of us.


[Filter: Fiver]
Do you want to go for a walk or something? I need to get out of here for a while. And I need to see you so I can make sure you're still here.

[Filter: Simon]
I'm scared.

I guess Ric is really the only person who has seen a lot of me lately. Especially after Jeremy and Elena went back. I can't even express how great it is to have Elena back.

[Joan Watson]

I realise now that I've made a mistake, I shouldn't have kept anything from you -- and most of all, I shouldn't keep from you the reason why I felt the need for secrecy, and so if you'll let me, I'd like to explain myself.

[Peggy Carter]

Well.

Is it good?

I am fond of this city the way I could be fond of a strange creature -- genuine affection, but knowing so few of its faces that one might as well not know it at all. But how very close it is today; my colleagues tell me that this is nothing at all, and I certainly do not dispute it, but I would give a great deal for a cool, crisp morning walk in the wind or a summer downpour to go and stand barefoot beneath. (I am not sure I shall ever be a New Yorker.)

& a belated thank you to those who celebrated Locative with us on Wednesday, it was a delight to have you and I do hope an enjoyable evening.

[Filtered to Law and Order People]

So I've decided this SHIELD training might just kill me. My brain hurts in places I didn't know it had. If anyone needs me for the evening I'm going to be in the bathtub with the e-reader on this thing, a glass of red wine, and a million bubbles.


Unless anyone wants pizza.

What's the best place for Pizza delivery around here, and more importantly, do they have cannoli?

I go outside for five bleeding minutes. FIVE. And this happens? Waking up would be good. Yes. Godric knows this has to be a dream because no reality is this brilliantly complex and unbelievable.

They say I know people here. I'm Lavender Brown. And who in the world is this Sookie, Snooky, Snacky person I'm supposed to be living with?

Can I buy you a drink?

Now that I am all settled in, someone point me in the direction of the best university in the area.

I need a job.

Heyo science experts!

I don't know how many of you from my neck of the woods will remember my shock suit I used to wear, but I'm in need of another one to be made for the mini-me. Reed Richards fixed it when it malfunctioned, annnd... I thought I saw something about him being around? Yeah? I'd even pay you for your troubles.

>>Need some company? I can't believe I just said that

Its a tiny ray of hope at the moment but I'm putting in paperwork for the NYPD and I even found a short term job, working as a translation for a Welsh art show for one of the galleries near the tower. They just wanted someone who speaks the language and as Daniel reminded me it could be a break and a change of pace at the same time.

And since I'm running low, where can I get migraine meds?

*Filter: Whoverse*

Quick roll call? I'm just a bit worried mostly. And would anyone like to watch the episode with 1800s me soon? I also found my face twin in a show called Merlin of all things.

Plus go ahead and sell me on joining SHIELD? I was the liaison for Torchwood and would love to do something along the same lines.

Well now I know what kind of offspring a Tribble and a bat would produce.
