What does you character want to know about mine?

How do you make him relax so easily?

what to get you for Christmas this year (this is for all of yours

How help hunter

Norton wants to know if Tim's deal will be to survive. But also that seems rude to ask. (Plus he thinks that if Tim can have a deal to either save himself or save Danny, he'd probably save Danny but Norton doesn't like that answer because he doesn't know or care about Danny, so by avoiding asking he can pretend that the concern that Tim might still die or

if he vanishes suddenly from the barge he'll be dead, doesn't exist.)

Mad Larkin he's harmless, he's just a pretty guy, lookit him. he's disarmingly nice and genuinely well intentioned. he just wants what's best for you and sometimes that's a good fucking

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ Tim wants more dumb gag mugs for having people over, Eiffel wants to get through one Christmas without it sucking ass, and Hunter would never admit it but maybe something Soft. a nice blanket or something

BethampHATamine keep being his friend, best start

pharadyne Tim's deal would technically revive him since he's worded it to resurrect anyone who was killed in the line of duty under an Archivist, and he's not shy about talking about it! but he doesn't frame it as bringing himself back, mostly it's for everyone else

She's on that. Also wants him to learn that most friendly touches aren't blows.

The things Norton's heard (and semi-experienced) about Tim and Jon's world has lead him to think that they're going to need multiple deals. And that it's a good thing that there's multiple people from their world on the ship as wardens.

oh they absolutely do

Jon's focusing on the broader scale and Tim's doing the Archives team

and when Tim's gotten his first one he's got a personal grudge he wants to settle against the not-them, so he's going to make sure everyone who got fucked over by it gets their real memories back

the not-them is so horrifying

it REALLY is

Tim's also like. such a weird special case around it, because he wasn't supposed to know. he wasn't the designated Not-Them Person To Fuck With and he still realised something was wrong with Sasha

I've seen theories that it's like, the power of love but also that doesn't make sense bc previous statements on them have been like, wives and family and they haven't noticed shit if they weren't designated to, and even Jon didn't notice shit and he's our local eye boy

Elias did but he's much more powerful at this point, so my personal headcanon is that because Tim is Stranger-touched he wasn't fully swept in by it

The Stranger just like

oh someone else to get traumatised by this don't mind if i do

you could get so much mileage out of a Tim who is genuinely being toyed with by the Not-Them to push him much more actively into Stranger-dom

YES exactly

I don't think I've seen ANY fics exploring what a not!Tim would do to the group dynamic

as opposed to not!sasha, like. Tim is THE combining force keeping everyone sane in the early seasons

imagine losing that at the start of s2 instead. it actively fucking with Jon under the guise of being his friend again, throwing suspicion off himself by pretending he's sympathetic and getting him to suspect Martin or Sasha

oh god it'd be

a huge mess
