Pastebin entry: To everything a turn (Tribute to Meh's NISC) - Pastebin.com
Recommended listening: “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by the Byrds. The title is also taken from the first line of the song
This fic is my own personal tribute to Meh’s NISC, which can be read here. Gayroommate also did a voiced version of the comic. This fic was also a collaboration with Carpdime, who drew the cover art as a tribute to Meh’s epic story. This story makes use of a lot of flashbacks so, and to help the reader, I have made use of the unique paragraphing format to differentiate a flashback from the story in its current moment.
Some notes:
- this tribute went a bit differently from how I initially imagined it
- my intention is that Sparks married her lab technician, Spiegel, but since Sparks was Meh’s character, that felt out of place. I decided to leave the identity of her husband ambiguous, as it was the case with Nisc’s mate
- the idea of racing fluffies was a combination of Waggytail’s own take on the idea, as well as how Buttercup was able to pace with his owner despite his size. Initially I thought of the competition Nisc would be enrolled with would grade his pedigree on different factors, but I decided to settle with a race instead
- This story is meant to be standalone, but, for those whoa re in the know, it its a continuation of a Plot element of Chapter 9 of the Sam Adams Guide
This is the third in a series of fics, after the Avocado Christmas special and Circuit meets Crush, aka the Coalheart & BDB tribute. I am hoping to do two more fics, or at the very least, one more on Christmas day itsellf
