    Summary

    He’s nine again– nine and new and knows so many things now so rather than try to go back–

    He thinks he has the chance to make things right.

    The bright blue trainers he puts on are a pair he hasn’t worn in forever, something he never thought about after he grew out of them (will grow out of?) a year from now, and sets off into the night and into the rain.

    The plan he has in his brain is not really a plan, moreso just a couple of half thrown ideas and maybe five steps into building back the life he had in the most painless way he could.

    Maybe, he thinks, maybe this plan can start off with the family he misses– because he’s sixty and most of them too injured or too old or too dead–

    Call him selfish but he misses them. He would rather find them than get himself back into that lonely existence he called a life before he woke up at nine.

    Dick makes do because that’s all he can do really.

    -🦇-

    Dick gets sent back in time, but don't worry, he's got this. (Probably)

    Summary

    When Obi-Wan searches his room for his homework (for Improvised Medical Analytics II, an obscure engineering elective reserved for fanatical mechanics or Senior Padawans running out of class options, scrambling for some semblance of progress), he finds a baby.

    (Or: Saving the galaxy gets a little trickier when you're only four-ish months old.)

    Summary

    “So—say we go ahead with this cockamamie notion of yours. How do you suppose we measure our success in determining a victor?”

    “Now that’s easy. C’mon, Al, you’re smart, use that handsome head’a yours,” he grinned slyly. “You’ve made it in showbiz back Up there and way Down here. What’s the key to stayin’ relevant? Stayin’ on top? What’s the one thing that’ll make or break ya?”

    “Ratings,” Alastor said without hesitation—upon which his entire face lit up, cracking a grin to match Angel’s. “Ratings.”

    **•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙**

    An unlikely wager between Alastor and Angel Dust triggers a butterfly effect that threatens to wreck havoc on the tenuous power balance in Hell. As they say, the demon’s in the details — especially when this particular demon finds himself stumbling in-between the lines of his contract. What happens when Angel challenges Alastor to shake up the status quo in Hell for a second time in a century, and makes history as Hell's first (willing) radio guest star?

    Alternatively and fondly summarized as: I think I accidentally created Loveline: Hell Edition. Or: Angel Dust Goes On The Radio
