  Summary

  Battat the Green Pippins has a problem. Mike is looking a lot more real than anyone thought he was; and he's a lot closer than anyone would have guessed. Will two halves of the same whole learn how to get along? Can they keep their strange and wondrous inner life a secret? What does it take to heal from despair so deep, it could already be too late? And, maybe, just maybe... were the real Mikes the friends we made along the way?

  An exploration into the idea of Battat (AKA Small Mike AKA Motormouth Mike) suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. NOTE: This fic will feature (semi) realistic depiction of mental illness, including dissociation, the presence of alters (initially presumed to be "intrusive thoughts" or "hearing voices") and behavior that reflects a history of trauma. Proceed with caution.

  Summary

  A spinoff/companion series for "Pay No Attention (To The Mike Behind The Curtain)" !

  Curtain Call is a compilation of shorter stories told from the point of view of other characters in the main story; expect "deleted scenes" which would have broken up the flow of the main story but help to supplement canon, other characters' points of view (other than the Mikes!), a look into the backstory of OCs - and maybe even some entirely non-canonical takes!

  NOTE: This fic will feature (semi) realistic depictions of Dissociative Identity Disorder and mental illness symptoms in general, including dissociation, the presence of alters, and behavior that reflects a history of trauma. Proceed with caution.
