Description:

In January 1987, Kaitou 1412 made his dramatic return after an eight year hiatus. Conviently at the same time, sixteen year old Kuroba Kaito starts to pull away from the few friends he does have. Three decades later, 1412 is known as a phantom, a killer, and a violent creature, and Kaito is a reclusive fifty two year old battling depression and his own self, a lonely bar owner with a distant gaze and an even more narrow world view.

Shinichi gets shrunk in late Spring of 2022, and finds a reluctant ally in his father's cousin. Posing as Kaito's son as Conan brings troubles and solutions that he could have never acquired than if he had stayed with the Mouris. Maybe they can both help each other.

Notes:

An AU and collection of stories where Magic Kaito progressed on naturally from its original publish date of 1987, and Detective Conan starts its main events in 2022 so the main MK characters are all middle aged while the main DC characters are still teens. A dark fic at times but with plenty of light moments eventually. Make no mistake, Kaito really is the villain of this storyline even though he's the main character.

Romance not the main focus but the key players are pinning toxic exes Saguru/Kaito (they are both terrible people who deserve each other), happily married Akako/Keiko, and Aoko/A Secret (But I promise it's funny).

A lot of OCs scattered about due to the 35 year timespan expanding the friends and families that the MK characters have, and also some MK Syndicate OCs are abound too.
