The Goes Wrong fandom had a drabble event recently, Cornley Christmas (in July) Chaos 2026! Participants were invited to choose prompts from a list and write drabbles based on them.

I was hoping to write a drabble for each of the twelve prompts, but, alas, it went wrong; I fell just short with eleven! I had fun, though.

Here are my Goes Wrong drabble efforts! Mainly Chris/Robert, to nobody's surprise. The bolded phrase before each drabble is the prompt that inspired it.


Eleven Goes Wrong drabbles. )


While I'm sharing Goes Wrong ficlets, I wrote one a couple of days ago in response to an anonymous request on Tumblr: I know you have said in the past that you see Robert as disappointingly vanilla when it comes to the bedroom compared to Chris, but I wondered if you might write something where he accidentally discovers that side of Chris?


The Goes Wrong Show, Robert/Chris, 430 words. )


It's been fun to write some tiny things! Particularly about Robert and Chris's dynamic; I always have such a good time with these two weirdos.

I found myself near St James's Park today, after having lunch with a client, and on a whim I wandered in. I was familiar with the nearby Green Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, and I couldn't imagine St James's would be all that different, but, hey, I'd never been; I might as well take a look.

I spotted a body of water, so I made my way towards that. There were four swans swimming along in a group, and then I caught sight of their bills and WAIT A SECOND, THOSE AREN'T SWANS


I lost my mind with excitement and pelted down to the water to get a closer look. Pelicans! Pelicans just hanging out in London!! What??? Apparently they've lived in St James's Park for the last couple of centuries, and I had no idea!

I followed them on their journey along the lake and was richly rewarded when they climbed onto the opposite bank to feed their giant offspring. I now know that baby pelicans are huge and dark brown and go 'squonk squonk squonk'.

Couldn't get a good shot of the babies, alas, but here's a blurry bonus picture I accidentally took of a heron taking off.

After sharing my thoughts about how Robert of The Goes Wrong Show would react upon learning Chris was trans, I received another anonymous message on Tumblr: hiii do you have any more thoughts on trans!chris/robert??? i really enjoyed what you wrote!!! •ᴗ•

So, for an alternative scenario, what if Chris joins the drama society while he's still presenting as a woman, meaning that he comes out as a trans man when he and Robert already know each other? Again, I'm envisioning Robert somehow managing to be completely unfamiliar with the concept of being trans.

At first, when Chris attempts to explain that he's a man, Robert assumes Chris is simply mistaken and attempts to 'help' by explaining Chris's gender to him. No, Chris, you must have lost your memory. I've known you for years, and you've been a woman the entire time. Look, I've got photographs.

("For God's sake, Robert, you don't unders— why do you have so many photographs of me? When did you take these?")

Eventually, Chris manages to communicate that he'd like to be referred to as 'he'. Robert clearly doesn't understand the point of this exercise, though, and he makes an effort so token it's almost worse than not trying at all; he gets Chris's pronouns right maybe twenty percent of the time. He also hasn't grasped that this is a permanent state of affairs; when Chris corrects him on his pronouns the next day, Robert's response is "What, still?"

And then Chris hits on the answer. "Look, Robert, just think of this as an acting exercise. Up to this point, I was playing a female role. From now on, I'm playing a male role, and you should play your part accordingly."

It clicks for Robert instantly. Suddenly he takes great pride in treating Chris as a man, and in correcting anyone who slips up. Chris has no idea of whether Robert thinks of him as a man, but he'll take it.

Bottoms. Yes. Infinite Variety.

The trouble with putting Chris and Robert of The Goes Wrong Show in bed together, and I say this as a big Chris/Robert fan, is that I feel Robert is romantic and vanilla in bed, whereas Chris has a masochistic streak a mile wide and just wants someone to tie him up and whip him. I attempted to write a fic in which Chris asks Robert to hurt him, and it never got anywhere because Robert's response was just '??? that doesn't seem right.'

Robert will hurt you unintentionally in the course of acting, and he'll hurt you deliberately in order to steal your role, but he just doesn't think the bedroom is the place for that sort of thing. Which is, I'll be honest, Robert, extremely inconvenient for me personally.

Anyway! While I'm talking about Chris/Robert, I received an anonymous question on Tumblr:

I was wondering if you had any thoughts about how the Robert/Chris dynamic would be if Chris were a trans man. I imagine Chris would be stealth so Robert might not even know until they started whatever you would call their bizarre but fascinating relationship.

I can see exactly how this would come to light. Chris and Robert end up furiously making out after an argument, unplanned and unexpected, and then Chris feels Robert's hands heading below the belt and panics, starts pulling away, "There's something I need to tell you—"

"Chris," Robert says, with a concerned frown, "your penis appears to be missing."

Chris is so thrown - by the situation as a whole, but particularly by the fact that Robert is imparting this information as if he's worried that Chris might not know - that he completely forgets anything he was about to say.

"Do you need the hospital?" Robert asks.

Chris swallows, with some difficulty. "No, I'm... I'm fine. This is the, er, the intended state of affairs."

Robert's frown eases, but only a little. "Do you have any genitalia at all? Because I did rather have plans."

Does Robert... does Robert know what being trans is? "Er, I..."

How is Chris supposed to articulate this? It's a tricky thing to phrase at the best of times, let alone when he's so aroused he can't think straight and faced by someone to whom the entire concept is apparently new.

"May I check?" Robert asks. "If you're not sure?"

Chris shrugs, helplessly. "I... I suppose."

Robert strips off Chris's trousers and pants, swiftly and matter-of-factly. Contemplates him for a moment. All Chris can do is stand there, blushing furiously.

"Oh," Robert says, brightening, "that's fine. I know exactly what to do with one of these."

And, as it turns out, he does.

Are We Connected?

I was trying something a little weird and experimental with Through the Cracks, my Deltarune fic set in chapter five's weird route, so I thought I'd reflect a bit on how things went!


Notes on an experimental fic! )


I wouldn't want to do this with every fic, but it's been fun as a one-off experiment!

I've been feeling very 'I need to write something or I'll explode' for the last few weeks, and I've managed it at last! And, hey, it's a Deltarune fic. Apparently I'm still capable of writing for things that aren't The Goes Wrong Show?

(This fic would be improved by the presence of Robert Grove, of course. Any fic could be improved by the presence of Robert Grove.)

Oh, wow, this is apparently the three hundredth work I've posted to my main AO3 account. How did that happen?


Title: Through the Cracks
Fandom: Deltarune
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 1,400
Summary: Kris and Noelle end up somewhere else.
Warnings: Spoilers for chapter five of Deltarune, specifically the weird route.
