the blackbird whistling, or just after.

OH MECHAKARA. :DDDD!

she once tried to start a meaningful discussion based on Twilight, because it seemed to be an extremely important work to children, and her coworkers threatened to disown her.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. That image is hilarious.

It had been so long since she encountered any serious difficulty, in fact, that she was caught entirely off-guard when the man in a white lab coat and scrubs gave a start and addressed her incredulously as "Linkara?!"

Insano! :D

Fortunately, he stepped away at that, but lingered for several minutes longer to stare at her and shake his head in amazement.

When he finally left, she stored the encounter in her memory for later analysis. She'd have to calculate the probability of this turning into a significant problem.

This was great! I love Insano's kind of awkward interest in Mechakara, because this is something weird! That he needs to examine! And I love how Mechakara gets rid of him and you really got the whole robot thing really well! :D

From:

SHE JUST WANTS TO HAVE MEANINGFUL DISCOURSE WITH HER COLLEAGUES OKAY. D:

Insano is totally coming back to investigate her further. Fun fact: the reason girl!Mecha doesn't recognize him is because her universe's Insano wiped himself from her memory banks. INTRIGUE!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Well of course! There is someone out there with Linkara's face who is not Linkara. That's odd!

Fun fact: the reason girl!Mecha doesn't recognize him is because her universe's Insano wiped himself from her memory banks. INTRIGUE!!

Ooooooh. Interesting. Why would he do that?

From:

MAYBE SHE IS A CLONE!! Or Linkara is so broken by her evilness that she has developed another, much more benign personality! :O!!!

And, hmm. I think it was probably so she couldn't implicate him, purposefully or not. He's kind of a wild card in that universe. So if she were caught or whatever, they couldn't pull her memory and go searching for it for information about him.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Oh Insano and his wild theories. ♥

Ooooh. Interesting!

From:

W/E IT IS TOTALLY AN EXCELLENT THEORY. And the latter one isn't at all because he hopes Linkara secretly hates being a villain and wants to return to the side of Good.

From:

W/E IT IS TOTALLY AN EXCELLENT THEORY.

No, it totally is! The other option is a Doppleganger, Insano supposes. Maybe he should warn Linkara to avoid that bookstore? Just in case. Meeting your Doppleganger is supposed to be bad, right? He doesn't really keep up with Magic things like that.

And the latter one isn't at all because he hopes Linkara secretly hates being a villain and wants to return to the side of Good.

Awww. Poor Insano. :D

From:

From:

WHAT IF SHE'S FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE OR DIVERGENT TIMELINE :O? Then he should REALLY warn her to avoid it, because then the two of them being in contact might cause the universe to EXPLODE! Or get paradoxical. Or something.

And of course Linkara would TOTALLY DISREGARD Insano's warning, because she wants to see this person with her face for herself.

Oh man I want him to have a happily ever after so bad.

He deserves one.

From:

That would end... I actually don't know how that would end, honestly. Hrm.

He dooooes. I want girl!Kara to have a happy ending, too, by which I mean "Insano makes her better and then they cuddle forever".

From:

That would end... I actually don't know how that would end, honestly. Hrm.

It would be interesting, at least! LOL.

YAY CUDDLES.

From:

AND HERE IS THE HARVEY GIRL!KARA MEETING FIC.

They met before everything changed.

At the time, she was bright-eyed and idealistic, setting out to change the world with her magic and wit. She even had a few fights under her belt - small-time criminals, nothing glamorous or exciting, but enough that she could go to sleep at night with the feeling that she was doing good.

He was a stumbling drunk in an alley. She was just passing by the bar - she was twenty at the time, not even old enough to drink and how sad was that - when she heard him yelling at what turned out to be a garbage can. Not the most glamorous of meetings.

She still dragged him home, because that's the kind of person she was. He tripped a lot and called her 'doll', but after a night's sleep on her couch, he cooked her scrambled eggs and introduced himself. When she found out he was 'between lodgings', she awkwardly offered her apartment on a temporary basis, and... well, somehow or another he wound up paying half the rent instead.

From:

D'aaaaaw! They met when she was still Good! :D And LOLOLOLOL Harvey the Drunk yelling at garbage cans. Oh Linkara, you don't just let random homeless drunks live with you! I know it worked out awesomely, but...dear lord, Harvey needs to protect you from yourself.

This was ADORABLE.

Hey. Hey. You know what else you should write? More IA!Spoony and Linkara fluff. :D

From:

POOR HARVEY. He's just chrono-displaced. ._. BUT YEAH she was super-endearingly trusting then, wasn't she. ._. And then things went to shit and she was like NOW I'MMA BE EVIL >D. And Harvey was totes cool with that.

Although Linkara was on extended sick leave, Spoony's compassionate leave was much shorter, and even when he was off, he was subject to being called to active duty in case of emergency. And apparently 'emergency' included resolving a situation with someone Spoony had arrested ASAP, even though he was driving Linkara back from a doctor's appointment, and no, he didn't have time to drop him off first.

After ranting for a minute, he finally hung up and glanced at Linkara. "Looks like we're heading in."

Which was why Spoony's SWAT team was treated to the sight of their leader hovering worriedly over his boyfriend for a while before he could finally bring himself to leave.

"So you can just stay here," Spoony said for something like the twentieth time. "If you need anything, the guys'll get it for you." In response, Reynolds came to attention and Jackson let off a lazy salute.

"I'll be fine," Linkara said, for what felt like the millionth time since this whole thing had started. It had kind of lost some of its impact since he'd used it before having a panic attack in his apartment, but there wasn't a whole lot he could do about that.

At first, it looked like he wasn't going to get any peace at all, because every time he so much as blinked, someone was asking if he was okay and if he needed anything. Which was nice in theory, but in practice was just super-annoying and was making his head hurt. After about twenty minutes, he finally snapped at them to just shut up, please.

Things kind of went quiet after that. Reynolds still asked him if he was okay every five minutes for a while, but mostly Linkara just sat at Spoony's desk and pillowed his head in his arms. He must have drifted off, too, because the next thing he knew there was a loud bang, and he went wide awake in a matter of seconds, heart pounding painfully.

"Jesus, Reynolds, are you seriously incapable of even holding something without screwing it up?" Jackson was snapping out while Reynolds tried to gather the scattered remains of a box of case files.

It was too hard to get back to sleep after that, because his adrenaline was up and he flinched at the slightest noise. Reynolds was banished to retrieve snacks while Girard tried to joke with him to calm his nerves.

Eventually, it occurred to him that there was a bag from the cafeteria on the desk that hadn't been there before. Girard shrugged when asked about it. "One of the forensic analysts brought it for you while you were sleeping. Something starting with an O."

"Oan?" Fields suggested.

"Yeah, that."

So when Spoony finally came back for him, he found Linkara eating an extra-large chocolate chip cookie while the rest of his team (who weren't in disgrace) regaled him with tales of that one time they were called to action and it turned out some hysterical person lost his cat up a tree, and how pissed off Spoony got that he'd wasted their time.

"So," he said, with a grin, "have fun?"

There was complete, nervous silence from the SWAT team until Linkara smiled.

D'awww adorable! I love injured stubborn Linkara and protective Spoony. :D And the SWAT team is great. And Oan sent a cookie! :D

From:

Of course she sent a cookie!! It was her Duty. Though dropping it off probably pretty much went like "HI THIS IS FOR LINKARA BYE" and then she went off to hide in her office.

From:

LOL Oan. :D

From:

She is so cute.

From:

I'm always glad to read more of Linkara and Spoony in the IA!verse, and I love how the whole team is so protective of Linkara! Of course, who wouldn't want to make sure Linkara was feeling better? ^^

I'm also happy to see more Channel Awesome members showing up in this verse. Hurray for Oancitizen being a dear and bringing a cookie for Linkara!

From:

Inorite? Plus, Spoony would have made their lives miserable if they didn't take good care of Linkara. But mostly because omg Linkara DDDD:

OAN IS A DEAR. I love her in this verse, for serious.

From:

Haha, I'm sure Spoony knows many methods to torture his team if they weren't doing their best with Linkara. Not that he needs to use them, because yes, everyone should love Linkara, lol.

Oh, Oancitizen is a girl in this universe? I'm sorry, I must have missed where that was mentioned. That's interesting, though. Is there any reason you chose that or did you just feel like writing the character differently?

From:

OHHHH yes. FEAR THE WRATH OF THE SPOONY ONE. FEAR IT!

She is! http://achika-chan.livejournal.com/197338.html?thread=1454298#t1454298 is the only other fic with her in it, though I have another one in the works. Ummm, I think mostly I was just looking at the Princess Oan thing I made and was going "OMG SO ADORABLE" and decided she needed to be somewhere. So there she is!

From:

Oh, I would definitely fear an angry Spoony! Criminals should just tremble in the presence of his rage! ^^

Aw, that was an adorable little story of Oan and Sol! I loved their quest to find cookies and bring them to Linkara and Insano. Also, did I sense something on Oan's side once she met Insano, or am I just looking for romance all the over the place again, lol. In any case, this Oan seems similar to our Oan while still being unique, and it'd be fun to read more of her adventures in this 'verse.

From:

And Mecha should just get his affairs in order now. :|

:D!! Yes. Yes, you did sense a little somethin' there. It is entirely possible there is possibility of future!Oan and Insano awkwarding crushing of adorable. :D
