The Sparrow Floats East Because It Can (Random Book #5)

An Idea for a Reader Insert

Based off of a plot line that initially had Isa, Lance, Shiro, Keith, Lotor, and Smash Manor, with Zarkon and stuff. Did some switching, and I'm going to try this preview with Alfonse, though it miht work better with Danganronpa V3 characters (or Voltron).

(I'm totally BSing how wellness evaluations go lol. Especially because in this story, Reader-chan has the ability to tell if people lie to her.)

Anway this is just a preview and I'm not sure how much of this will appear in the actual story, which currently has no title.

Key:

(F/N) - First name
(L/N) - Last Name
(N/N) - Nickname

---------------------

"You know what to do," your boss Berkut says.

You nod as he unlocks the door, and you step in as the door closes. In front of you is a desk, with a blue haired man sitting there, handcuffed to the table. As you walk closer, you notice that his feet are shackled as well, and a rope is keeping him to his chair, likely to prevent him from attacking you. The man's head is done, avoiding eye contact.

You pull out the chair closest to you and sit down on it, pulling out your clipboard. You click your pen, and the man shifts slightly.

"Greetings, Allen Zenith."

He jolts up and looks at you with wide eyes. He gulps audibly in shock. You frown slightly due to never getting this kind of response before, but continue to talk.

"My name is Dr. (F/N) (L/N), and I am here to evaluate your wellness. I shall ask you various questions and your answers will determine your health and mindset, meaning that your responses could indicate that you are unwell and thus require medical attention. This is not a get out of jail free card, however. Do not lie to me, because I am capable of figuring out your lies. Lie to me too much, and it will not end well for you," you say with a hard edge, remembering previous occasions where prisoners had lied to you. You sigh and looks at him once again, trying to give him an encouraging smile. "Before we begin, do you have any questions or comments?"

Allen nods grimly. "Yes."

"Then speak."

He looks away. "This is not worth your time. Write down that I am well, and be on your way, never to return here."

You freeze and gap at him. "Excuse me?"

"Leave," he replies. "This is a waste of time for you."

"This is my job," you say carefully. "I'm supposed to moni-"

"Leave," he says once more.

You take in a deep breath due to the fact that you are seconds from yelling at him. Normally this wouldn't phase you, but you've already dealt with three stubborn prisoners this morning, and so your patience was running thin today.

"I don't think-"

"Go away."

Your grip tightens on the clipboard. "I don't think you understood what I said earlier."

"Just go."

"What the hell?!?"

"Begone."

"Why?" You demand. I'm your psychiatrist!"

Allen slouches. "I'm not worth your time, (N/N)."

You drop the clipboard. "N-No one calls me that. O-Only-"

Allen looks you in the eye, and suddenly the pieces fell into place.

"Oh my god.... You're Alfonse."

Alfonse smiles weakly, and tears fell down your face.

Alfonse. The love of your life.

The love of your life that you were engaged to as a child.

The love of your life you were to marry four years ago.

The love of your life that had died the night before your wedding.

---------------

That took a different turn than expected lol.

Initially Alfonse was your neighbor (and I did use his name originally but changed it to Allen to surprise everyone) but I wanted to have a reason for the shock, so I decided, "You were betrothed to him as a child" would work.

As I wrote this though Kaito, Rantaro, Kaede, Shucihi, and Kokichi came to mind. Pribably because this seems.... Danganronpa-ish.

What started this idea was reading a fanfic where Keith from Voltron was a stalker and was stalking Lance.

So I was like, hey what about an AU where Shiro, Lance, and Keith are kind of evil, and Isa is supposed to get info from them about a case? Lance would be a man who would take glee in breaking women's hearts, Keith kind of stalked people (though I might change theirs to like Lance was a serial thief and Keith assaulted people), and Shiro killed someone, and they were arrested for their crimes. It morphed into them not actually being evil, but they were accused of a crime and had to play the persona given to them, as that was what everyone expected. And they slowly befriended Isa when it was revealed that a) they weren't evil and b) Isa had gone through a bunch of shit and was actually really cynical and depressed, but she hid it behind a cherry exterior. Because of this, she's able to bond with the guys, and after getting the info needed for a case, she agrees to transfer and be their psychiatrist, as she's the only one who's able to talk to them.

What's interesting is that in the original idea, Isa was also accused of a crime (like being an accomplice in a murder or something because her alibi was a little weak), but she was allowed to have the record off the books if she cut ties to everyone at Smash Manor (including her own family, I might add!), changed her identity, and moved far far far away. Lance recognizes her from a show from Smash Manor due to one of her phrases that she said (it was her catch phrase), and they're shocked that a soldier like her is now a Psychiatrist.

Later it added a plot point where the prison is broken into and all of the prisoners are killed barring Shiro Lance and Keith because Isa released them to help her save Lotor, who got kidnapped.

I mean I could write that, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in seeing the details for the Voltron version. It differs from this one in various ways so it won't be a cookie cutter plot.

Also I wrote this instead of sleeping. :p
