Summary

Each chapter is an outline or idea for episodes or expansions I'd add if I got to reboot the show.

This is working under the assumption that the miniseries would take place over seven months rather than seven days, and that it would be comprised of about 24 episodes, around 40 minutes each. Some of the ideas would be set post-canon, though, for later 'seasons'.

(Number of fics until I reach 300: 8...)

Chapter 10: LS: Temporary Amnesia

It seems that Ambrose isn't done with things messing with his memory quite yet.

Ambrose, post-series, temporarily loses all his memory going back to just before Azkadellia was possessed by the Witch. He has a few questions for the people around him:

 

1) Who are the Tin Man that calls him 'Sweetheart' and the Viewer that calls him 'Glitch', and how does he know them?

2) Why are the princesses so grown up all of a sudden? And what in the world is DG wearing??? (Otherside clothes)

3) What is a 'Mobat' and why is there one on Az's shoulder? (Headcanon: at least one Mobat was good and is Az's pet now)

4) Why is the Queen's hair white?

5) And, most importantly, WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A ZIPPER ON HIS HEAD!?

"...a crow that really likes stealing things, mostly shiny things and buttons — but that's okay because so does Ambrose, and they like trading between their respective hoards" 😂😂😂 🐦‍⬛✨

I think this one could work in canon best out of all these (amazing ideas) so far! It could fit right in!
