Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Thinking about Tim's cloning attempts makes me want a fic where he succeeded. There are a few but mostly they have Tim raising a new baby clone, which is fun don't get me wrong, but what about an AU with clone of a clone! Kon.
Fair warning, this is kind of a dark! Tim, or at least unhinged morally grey! Tim, fic idea.
Tim successfully made the clone, aged him up artificially and implanted "memories" from the original Kon. Tim managed to pass off this new guy as Kon returned from the dead, it has happened before after all. Everyone believes it, even "Kon" himself.
But slowly Kon starts to realize something isn't quite right.
Like, why is it that when he recalls some missions he went on he describes them word for word, as if he was reading the mission report? Why is it that some memories feel like out of body experiences? Almost as if he was watching from the point of view of the security camera... Why can't he recall some things at all?
Why don't his favorite foods taste right anymore? Why doesn't his favorite song give him the same emotional reaction? Why is it that when he looks at his closest friends, his family, he doesn't feel anything? Why doesn't he love Tim anymore?
Everyone else just thinks Kon is depressed. Dying and coming back will do that to you. But Tim knows there is more to it.
Tim always knew the clone wouldn't be Kon but he thought the new guy would be enough. But the more time he spends with the clone the bigger the hole in his heart. It is becoming impossible to ignore their differences, impossible to pretend that everything is the same.
