Ficlets & Plot Bunnies

Summary:

I guess I wanted to share some miscellaneous "microfics" and scenarios I've fired off on the fandom blog.

Nothing too substantial, but thought it'd be fun to put it in one place here. If interest is there, I'll find more posts to add to this work!

(Rating may change in future, but right now, I think Teen+ will apply just fine.)

Notes:

Feel free to ask for further tags, given that this is a pile of miscellany. I may choose to put CWs in the notes of each chapter.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Paracelsus

Summary:

Okay, I love toxicology stuff.

And thinking about how Logan could explain one of the foundational ideas that Paracelsus is known for saying. (Obv tox is hella complicated, but this is a good starting point.)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Virgil: Is there such a thing as too much oxygen?

Logan: “Dosis sola facit venenum.”

Virgil: Uh. What.

Logan: The dose makes the poison, simply.

Virgil: ... so that’s a-?

Logan: There’s a threshold of oxygen levels that can lead to hypoxia... and I hope we all recognize the importance of breathing here?

[Everyone nods slowly.]

Logan: Well. There is a point of too much oxygen, hyperoxia. Which can lead to oxidative stress, damage to the lungs, and eyes... similar premise for things like water and medicine.

Patton: Oh-oh! Like Goldilocks?

Logan: Yes. I suppose you could call it the “Goldilocks Zone of Conducive for Continued Existence”, if you will.

Remus: Oh! That sounds like a lot of fun to test~

Virgil: NO! No - It doesn’t!

Janus, simultaneously: Sure, it does. Sounds like an absolute riot.

Logan, staring at Remus pointedly: I am not sure if I should bring up LD50s in this conversation.

Remus, staring back: Oh, come ON. You can’t leave us out to dry, here, Nerdy Wolverine!

[Logan sighs heavily and explains LD50s. Everyone but Remus backs away slowly. Not before Patton gets distressed about all this graphic death talk, Roman thinking weaponizing this info as dishonorable, Virgil now paranoid about everything, Janus jotting down some notes... oh, for no nefarious reason, surely.]

#(at some pt logan namedrops 'The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York')
#(i mean all this in good & nerdy fun - this is one of my larger areas of medical interest)
#(like forensic medicine and that subset of tox is folded into my desire to be a medical examiner)
#(and kinda where i'm drawing from wrt iZ!logan)
#(this made me think of janus's whole bit abt stairs man - like no. no poisoning people either - my dude.)
#(lowkey - i think logan's happy to have an interested audience in remus here...)
#(roman might hit up logan later for counters to some of this shit - just to be prepared for Shenanigans tho - like antidotes and whatnot)
