Time travel magic accident results in Lucifer being thrown back in time to the late 20s early 30s Louisiana where a certain someone finds him face down in a ditch. Lucifer wakes up on an uncomfortable couch in a dingy apartment to find... Guy!? Is that fucking Guy? But Guy is different from the one he knows. He's human. Alive. Guy starts asking if he's alright, what was he doing in the gutter, does he have someplace he can go, if not of course it's alright if he crashes until he gets his bearings, blah blah.

Lucifer is still figuring out how to respond when the front door opens. He feels his breath catch in his throat. If this man in front of him is Guy, then the person who just walked in the front door must be...

Lucifer's caught off guard by how normal human Alastor looks. He's not nearly as tall as he was as a demon, flat teeth, large, brown eyes. He just seems so harmless compared to the bloodthirsty overlord Lucifer knows.

Guy is beaming as he introduces Alastor as, 'They guy who pulled you out of the gutter.' While Alastor just stares at Lucifer flatly before asking, "So, is there a street corner we can dump you at?"

Guy elbows Alastor in the ribs.

Time traveler, Elias. A French royal.

In the vast expanse of the universe, a galaxy shimmered with the stories of a man unlike any other—Elias. Born of a distant star system, Elias possessed extraordinary abilities: he could bend time, shift his form, and adopt any identity he chose. His curiosity about the universe’s countless narratives propelled him through time and space, leading him to Earth—a planet rich with history and drama.

Elias's latest fascination was the Earth's historical tapestry, specifically France during the 1600s. He chose to immerse himself in one of its most vibrant epochs—the reign of King Louis XIII, mistakenly recalling the name as King George in his intergalactic data banks. His goal was not just to observe but to participate, to live amongst the figures of history.

Transformation and Journey

Elias stood beside his time machine, a sleek structure of chrome and pulsating lights that hummed softly in the cold silence of space. Before embarking on his journey to 17th century France, Elias initiated his transformation. His body shimmered as his molecular structure rearranged itself. His skin took on a pale hue, his eyes a deep brown, and his hair curled into the fashionable shoulder-length locks of the time. He grew slightly taller, his physique molding into an elegant, aristocratic form—a perfect specimen by the standards of any era.

The final touch was his attire. With a thought, the fibers of his alien fabric morphed, taking on the rich textures and colors of a nobleman's wardrobe of the 1600s. He donned a doublet of deep blue velvet, breeches, and a lace collar, his boots polished to a high shine. Elias looked into the reflective surface of his machine; he now bore the image of a French aristocrat, complete with a feathered hat resting jauntily upon his curls.

Arrival and Adaptation

With a flicker of light and a ripple through the fabric of reality, Elias and his machine discreetly arrived in a wooded area near Paris. He stepped out into the fresh, earthy air of the past, the ground firm under his heeled boots. Hidden from view, he practiced his French accent, letting the lilting tones and courtly phrases roll off his tongue until he sounded every bit a man of France.

Elias quickly made his way to Paris and, using his charm and wit, infiltrated the royal court. His uncanny ability to mimic behaviors and his knowledge of historical events allowed him to blend in seamlessly. The court was a whirlwind of intrigue and opulence, and Elias thrived in it, his every movement and decision calculated to bring him closer to the king.

Rising in the Court

King Louis XIII, known for his complex personality and interest in the arts—and, as Elias had discovered in his data, a subtle fondness for attractive men—soon took notice of Elias. His intrigue was piqued not only by Elias’s striking looks but also by his insightful conversations and mysterious air.

Elias became a regular companion to the king, discussing art, politics, and philosophy. His unique perspectives and solutions to courtly issues, often inspired by his journeys across time and galaxies, made him indispensable. Despite his origins and abilities, Elias found a genuine connection with Louis, appreciating the king's intellect and often convoluted emotions.

The Man Behind the Mask

As months turned into years, Elias, now known as the Comte de Vire, lived a life full of earthly pleasures and royal confidences. Yet, beneath the grandeur, he remained a traveler at heart, always aware of his true self. He documented his experiences meticulously, storing them in the vast libraries of his mind to share with his own kind, across the stars.

Though he could have lived centuries in the blink of an eye, Elias knew his time at the French court would eventually come to an end. The pull of other times and worlds was strong. But as he prepared to leave, he realized that his journey through the past had changed him, imbuing him with a deeper understanding of humanity’s complexities and beauty.

With one last look at the gilded halls of the palace, Elias stepped back into his machine, the man who could traverse galaxies disappearing with a whisper into the fabric of time, his heart ever enriched by the memories of a king and a court that once, even if just for a short while, he could call home.

Elias, now the Comte de Vire, swiftly adapted to the rhythms and rituals of court life in 17th century France. Each morning, he awoke in his luxurious chambers furnished with opulent tapestries and intricate furniture that spoke of a craftsman's hand long stilled. His valet, a young Parisian lad, would assist him in dressing, layering the fine linens and arranging the rich fabrics that marked his noble status.

Breakfast was a subdued affair in his quarters, often just fresh bread with a bit of cheese, and sometimes fruit, all washed down with a small cup of wine. The real spectacle of dining came later in the day, at communal meals where the court gathered in all their finery. Here, Elias would navigate the delicate dance of court politics, his keen senses picking up undercurrents of intrigue among the clink of cutlery and murmur of voices.

Afternoons were reserved for various court activities. Elias often attended the king during his hunting excursions. These provided a chance to discuss matters of state and philosophy while riding through the extensive royal forests. The physical activity was a pleasure for Elias, whose alien constitution thrived on the challenge, and it also cemented his bond with King Louis.

A Trusted Confidant

As one of the king’s favorites, Elias also participated in the more intellectual pursuits of the court. He attended poetry readings in the royal library, discussions on the latest scientific discoveries, and debates on theological discourse. His unusual insights and exotic experiences, masked as the wisdom from distant travels on Earth, made him a captivating figure in these circles.

Evening Entertainments

Evenings were a grand affair, often beginning with large dinners followed by balls or performances in the palace's opulent halls. Elias, with his grace and elegance, excelled in these settings. His ability to dance flawlessly, a skill enhanced by his alien agility, made him a desired partner among the ladies of the court, and his refined conversation endeared him to many.

During quieter moments, Elias enjoyed the king’s more private company, where they shared a love of the arts. King Louis had a penchant for music and often invited esteemed musicians to perform. In these settings, Elias shared tales of distant stars and celestial melodies, cleverly veiled as fantasies, which delighted the king’s imagination.

An Alien Among Humans

Amidst the splendor and the ceaseless whirl of court life, Elias maintained his extraterrestrial nature hidden beneath his human facade. He adapted his daily routines to fit those of a 17th-century nobleman, yet at night, in the privacy of his chambers, he reverted briefly to his true form, allowing his body to rest in its natural state—a luminous, fluid presence that hummed with the quiet energy of the cosmos.

His room was equipped with hidden compartments where he kept his alien technology and instruments that monitored cosmic events and time-space coordinates, ensuring his link back to his own world remained intact.

The Looming Deadline

As the months slipped by, Elias, now deeply entrenched in the life of the 17th-century French court and closely bonded with King Louis XIII, faced a crucial turning point. His time device, a marvel of his advanced civilization, imposed a strict rule: remain in any non-native time period for no more than two years or risk becoming permanently anchored to that era, unable to return or travel elsewhere. With 18 months already behind him, the six-month countdown began.

The Richness of Life at Court

Elias's days were a tapestry of elaborate rituals and intimate connections. He had not only the king's ear but also the camaraderie and affection of other notable figures within the court, including several he met during the private, more risqué gatherings. These relationships were complex, woven with threads of desire, intrigue, and mutual respect.

Each individual offered something unique: a young duke taught him the finer points of fencing, a pastime that became both a physical and strategic exercise; a witty marquis shared the unspoken rules of navigating court gossip and alliances; and a poet, a regular at the smaller, more intimate gatherings, provided a window into the soulful side of the court through verses that often mirrored Elias's own hidden feelings of displacement and longing.

The Deepening Bonds

The king and Elias shared more than just a bed; they shared dreams and fears, the king speaking of the burdens of monarchy, Elias listening and offering advice culled from his vast experience across galaxies. These conversations often took place in the quiet sanctity of the king’s private chambers, away from the prying eyes and ears of the court.

As Elias’s departure neared, these moments grew more poignant, tinged with the unspoken knowledge of their impending end. The king, initially unaware of the true nature of Elias’s dilemma, came to sense his confidant’s growing melancholy.

The Decision to Leave

With the two-year mark approaching, Elias knew he had to prepare to leave, a decision that weighed heavily on him. He began to withdraw slightly, trying to ease the pain of his eventual departure for both himself and those he cared for. Yet, as he started to pull away, it only drew some of his closest companions closer, sensing the change and desiring to make the most of the remaining time.

One evening, in the cover of the royal library, Elias shared his secret with the king. He explained his otherworldly origins and the rules that bound him, expecting disbelief but meeting instead an understanding only a fellow bearer of heavy burdens could offer. The king was devastated but honored Elias’s trust, vowing to keep his secret.

Preparing for Goodbye

The final weeks were a bittersweet mixture of last experiences and quiet farewells. Elias spent his days reflecting on what he had learned about humanity—its capacity for love, its pursuit of pleasure, and its grappling with power and morality. Each relationship had enriched him, taught him new facets of human emotion and connection that he could have never comprehended in the abstract vastness of space.

At a grand farewell masquerade, the court turned out in full, the air one of celebration but underlaid with a current of farewell. Elias danced with the king, his friends, and his lovers, each dance a goodbye, each smile a memory to cherish.

Departure

When the night of departure finally arrived, Elias slipped away quietly after the festivities, his heart heavy but his resolve firm. He returned to his time machine, set in the secluded woods where he had first arrived. As he activated the controls, the soft hum of the engine a familiar comfort, he took one last look at the starry sky—so different, yet the same as the one above his own home.

The machine whirred to life, and with a final pulse of light, Elias left the 17th century behind, carrying with him the lessons of love, loyalty, and humanity—a traveler forever changed by his journey among the stars.

You’re a time traveller in seventeenth century England, and today you decide to swing by the local playhouse. The play they’re showing today isn’t Shakespeare, but that’s still cool, you might be watching some play that was lost to history.

And it’s good, it’s something about two alchemists and their quest to find the philosopher’s stone. But as the play goes on, you get this little. Thing in your brain that you don’t think about until the intermission.

And it’s while you’re at Ye Olde concession stand that you realize that the play you’ve been watching has been, beat for beat, the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist.

And you’re standing in the theatre with your mouth full of Ye Olde Poppéd Grains, because. What the fuck what does that mean. Is it a coincidence? Did Hiromu Arakawa base her manga off this forgotten seventeenth century English play? Is the playwright another time traveller preemptively ripping off Fullmetal Alchemist a full four centuries before it’ll ever be written? How the fuck do you respond to this

My favorite Kingdom Hearts fact is that one of the biggest plot-holes that Nomura has never been able to meaningfully retcon or write his way out, a plot-hole so big that it fundamentally breaks the very rules the series is written on...

Is the existence of Steamboat Willie

Let me explain for the uninitiated:

In Kingdom Hearts 2, there’s a small detour in the story involving Maleficent trying to invade Disney Castle, the home of King Mickey. She can’t step foot in the castle due to an artefact of pure light that wards off darkness locked in the basement.

Pete, who is working for Maleficent, opens a door into the past (Before Disney Castle, this land was known as Timeless River) and decides to remove the artifact from it’s place in time so it won’t be there to stop them from getting in.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase Pete into the past thanks to another magic door provided by Merlin, and through some shenanigans involving old cartoons and teaming up with Pete’s past-self, they lock the door the villains are using, and return the artefact to it’s proper place so it can exist in the present.

You with me so far? Pretty straightforward-ish time-travel plot right?

Here’s where it goes off the rails.

Time travel would go on to become a staple of Kingdom Hearts going forward and would come with a very strict set of rules over how it operates:

1. You can only travel to a point in time where a version of yourself exists

2. You basically give up your body to do so, and travel as a disembodied soul unless you have a vessel to inhabit

3. You can’t alter the past in a meaningful way, what’s going to happen will happen

4. You lose your memories of said trip once you return, but your actions could leave a lingering instinct on your other self that could influence their decisions

“Wait” you may be thinking “Why should anyone go through all those hoops? Wasn’t time travel super simple that first time?”

And you’d be totally right, because the existence of Timeless River completely renders all of these rules and restrictions meaningless.

There is no version of Sora that existed in Timeless River before he step foot there, everyone kept their bodies, the trio and Pete were able to mess with the timeline as freely as they pleased, and they all very much remember their trip.

Nomura has never been able to meaningfully explain this super simple, easy way of time travel and the more convoluted method co-existing other than a cheap-throwaway line from one of the villains saying that Merlin “broke the rules”

The hilarious part about this line is that it implies that PETE of all characters is actually more powerful than the actual villain of the series, because Pete opened a door into Timeless River through sheer willpower and nostalgia for “the good old days”

But the all-knowing chess-master of a villain who had an evil plan several decades in the making with countless moving parts and contingencies to account for had to use the roundabout, more complicated method of time travel where a lot could go wrong.

Pete though? Dude just casually broke all the rules of time travel because he felt like it. He's just built different.

TL;DR: Steamboat Willie breaks Kingdom Hearts lore in half, Pete is more powerful than Master Xehanort, and I fucking love this beautiful trainwreck of a series you guys it means so much to me

I love Kingdom hearts so much.

Do it for the Plot

I like the idea of Tim and Danny meeting and just clocking each other as little shits TM.

Just causing chaos to everyone in a way that can't really be traced back to them like 'Who? Me? I was busy doing all of these other things I have no idea how I would do that?'

Danny helps Tim get revenge on the bats for all the shit he's had to put up with and being absolute trolls about the whole thing *chefs kiss*

Tim&Danny dragging Ra's body

Damian: "Wha-?"

T&D: "No one will ever believe you"

Danny makes them go invisible

Bats: "Where ya going Tim?"

Tim holding back a cackle:" Oh, it's my anniversary so it's date night!"

Bats: "Anniversary?! We didn't know you were getting serious with someone?"

Tim: "Serious? He's my husband of course I'm serious about him"

Bats: "Wait hold on-!"

Tim: "Gotta go! Can't be late I have to make sure the babysitter has everything they'll need."

Bats: "BABYSITTER!?"

Tim: "Bye bye~!"

(They planned all of it including their 'fake marriage', Danny went back in time with the help of CW who is a troll at heart, and made the legal changes including Dan and Dani as their kids (their de-aged) otherwise someone (Oracle) would have eventually realized that the license is fake. So they went back in time and made it legitimately real)

Danny being Ghost King means that Tim is now also royalty

Tim walking up to John Constantine:" I have your entire soul"

and then just turning around and leaving

John very much felt the very strong Death Energy claiming Tim: "I don't want to be sober right now"

Earth about to be taken over for the 5th time that year by higher beings

Tim walking up late with coffee in his hand: "Leave or I'll call my husband"

Higher Beings very much not wanting to mess with the High King of the Infinite Realms: ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ

The Phantom family relaxing with cucumbers on their eyes and face masks: "Did you hear something?"

The Bats & Everyone else:

Just an Idea

For time loop and travel weekend, I'd like to rec two of my favorites:

Right Where You Belong by WabiSabiPapi, a thoughtful and extremely well plotted Time Traveler's Wife AU with a tender love story and great humor

Your hair. I—” The guy shakes his head. Seemingly astonished. “I can’t believe you’re really here.” Eddie and Steve find one another at different stages of their lives. At very different points in time. A story about discovering and rediscovering, falling in love, and healing childhood wounds.
