FLAT AND MORIARTY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE(F/SF AU)

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Fate itself could be changed by just the tiniest of motions. Just the smallest of differences had a massive effect on what should happen.

And in this massive universe, perhaps - just perhaps, there existed a mere timeline where, instead of the prize for sending in a survey card being a knife signed by Jack the Ripper...it was something relating to another famous British 'hero.'

Yet, things still continued the same. Flat Escardos still went over to america, and fiddled with the 'relic' he had been given, and then -

Suddenly, in front of him - was a man in a pinstripe suit, with a strange, black and blue cape, a pair of glasses on his face and a strange cane in his hand.]

...So, you have -

[And then, he paused.

Because of a few very, very pertinent details.

One: This was during the day.

Two: This was in FULL VIEW of multiple people, most likely ones who had already seen him, hopefully not when he quite literally popped into existence.

Three: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HIS SAINT GRAPH AND WHY IS HE A BERSERKER?!

With these details in mind, James Moriarty - The Napoleon of Crime, the vaunted rival of Sherlock Holmes, the only man said to hold a candle to him - quickly did what he had to.

And that was to put on a smiling face, clapping his hand on Flat's shoulder as if they knew each other - no, as if they were related from the level of fondness that he was displaying.]

Ah, there you are! I'd wondered where you'd gotten off to - let's continue on our walk, shall we?

[Though his voice was light, pleasant, and friendly - the way his hand tightened on Flat's shoulder made it very clear that disobeying was not an option.]

[ in reality, flat never knew how to set up a summoning ritual.

he had arrived to america as the most tourist of tourists, barely aware of the grail war beyond his dream to see it and the most basic knowledge. so even when moriarty and him are linked, it’s only when he fully manifests and places a hand on his shoulder that flat escardos looks up, confused beyond belief. ]

Who—? [ well, it’s not like he can ignore the way this person looks, brimming with more mana than he’s seen on anyone yet. clearly, this stranger was not a human. so could it be that—? ] Wait, are you a Servant?
