A parallel universe co-existing with ours on another dimensional plane. Everything’s duplicated, almost. Another Enterprise. Spock with a beard.
So wouldn’t Megs be the hero and Wayne the villain in this Mirror Mirror ‘verse? Even if they still landed the same. Megamind, (and DS people?) the underdog hero fighting against Wayne Scott and his family’s monopoly over the city. AU America being like a YA dystopia, ruled by rich supers like the Scott family.
^^Oooooh, this is good!
Mirror / Mirror
It’s the Roxannes and the Waynes that get switched.
mirror!Wayne is still cheesy and affable and smiles all the time…he just also sometimes sets people on fire with his laser vision while he’s doing it. Everyone is terrified of him.
mirror!Roxanne works for the Scott family, presenting propaganda to the public. But actually she’s secretly working with Megamind to spy on the Scotts and undermine them from within. She and Megamind are already together romantically in this universe.
The first thing mirror!Megamind does when canon!Roxanne arrives in the Lair is kiss her, and she is…really startled and also A LOT MORE INTO IT THAN SHE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED OH GOD. When he breaks the kiss, she’s so off-balance that she just blurts out,
“You grew a beard?”
The first thing mirror!Roxanne does when she arrives in the Lair is kiss canon!Megamind, and he is SUPREMELY CAUGHT OFF GUARD OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING. When she breaks the kiss, she rubs her thumb down the line of his facial hair and murmurs,
“You shaved?”
canon!Wayne is deeply disturbed by the mirror-verse, and by everything he finds out about his mirror-verse self; he ends up working with mirror!Megamind and canon!Roxanne to find his weakness and set up a trap for his mirror counterpart, for them to use after they all switch back.
When everyone returns to their own universes, canon!Wayne is shocked to find that his mirror-verse counterpart wasn’t able to do as much damage to the city as he would have expected–because, of course, canon!Megamind has been preparing for the possibility of Wayne doing something like that for years.
As soon as mirror!Roxanne told him what the Wayne from her universe was like, Megamind rolled out every single one of his Distract-Metro-Man-From-Destroying-Metrocity plans at once, which kept him busy until the switch could be made.
In canon-verse, Wayne has a sobering talk with Megamind and decides to step down as the city’s defender. He just–he has too much power; how can he be sure that he’s using it the right way? There were just too many similarities between the things that his mirror-verse counterpart did and the things that he’s done as the city’s defender.
In mirror-verse, the trap works, and Megamind and Roxanne defeat Metro Man and save the city.
In canon-verse, Roxanne and Megamind are extremely awkward and dance around the whole holy-fuck-our-other-selves-are-dating…thing, without really talking about it, and finally Roxanne turns and starts to walk out of the Lair–
–only to say to hell with it and turn around to kiss him.
When they break the kiss, Megamind is breathless. Roxanne is too, but she has enough breath to tell him,
“I like the goatee better.”
And then she kisses him again.
@setepenre-set so uh, I wanted to wait to respond until after I had seen that episode of Star Trek. I have now and oh my god?? oh my GOD I can’t believe my art inspired fic! This is amazing!!
!!!!!
AAAAHHHH THIS IS GREAT!!
I love the colors you’ve chosen; they look so harmonious together–the dark blue design on his costume contrasts in a lovely way with the deep wine red of her shirt, but since they’re both dark, the contrast is unobtrusive enough to allow us to focus on their expressions.
Their skin, too, contrasts very nicely, but because they’re about equal in brightness, it’s not at all distracting, but just very visually appealing.
Their body positions are so great, too! I love the way Megamind is holding her, gently, but with the confidence that demonstrates he’s done this before with his own Roxanne. He’s leaning in towards her, with his hand cupping her face softly. His eyes are closed and his facial features rather relaxed–he’s clearly enjoying the kiss, but it’s in no way a surprising or unusual occurrence for him.
Roxanne, on the other hand, has her back arched and her elbow pulled back, making it clear that she’s very surprised indeed by this happening. She’s not pushing him away or trying to pull away–she’s caught off-guard, but she’s not angry or disgusted. Her eyes are wide, looking at Megamind, and she’s blushing–a sign that, in spite of her shock, she’s enjoying the kiss more than she would have expected.
Seriously, they look so beautiful, here, and I’m so happy that you saw that Star Trek episode, and liked the ficlet I wrote for your original art piece! Getting another piece of art from you about the same universe is so very exciting! ❤ ❤ ❤
Can this be a full length fic please?
I make no promises, but I’ll save it in my prompts! ❤
I have just remembered the Megamind dream I had last night!!
He and Roxanne were at a zoo/museum kinda place, and he was disguised so no one would know it was him. They were in the butterfly house and the disguise watch malfunctioned and he really slowly turned back into Megamind while everyone around him started freaking out. It was really sad, actually, because he wasn’t doing anything wrong or villainous – he was just having a nice day out.
As his skin was turning back to blue, the butterflies started to land on him because they were attracted to the bright colour…when he was back to looking like himself, he was covered in butterflies and was watching them, totally enraptured. It was really sweet: butterflies don’t care if you’re a villain, but they love you if youre brightly coloured.
(Oh, and Roxanne took it upon herself to loudly admonish everyone who was yelling at him, telling them that he had as much right to be there as them and also could they kindly fuck off)

Roxanne, securely restrained, watches as Megamind places each of the objects he intends to use in a neat line on the metal table. He looks up at her with a wicked smirk and her breathing picks up. He must notice her reaction, because his smile widens.
“Why don’t you tell me the location of the Rebel base now, Commander Ritchi?” he asks, voice smooth and persuasive. “You know you will, sooner or later.”
Evil Lair would be so much fun to play in! Especially with the brainbots to join in the game, and a slightly-exasperated-but-indulgent Minion to play along, too!

“Why don’t you tell me the location of the Rebel base now, Commander Ritchi?” he asks, voice smooth and persuasive. “You know you will, sooner or later.”
Roxanne raises her chin.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she says.
He raises an eyebrow.
“Oh?” he says. “So unfortunate. It would have been easier for you if you had cooperated, Commander.”
“Easier for you, maybe,” Roxanne says.
His grin turns sharp and he picks up the first of the objects.
“Oh, yes, easier for me as well,” he says. “But much less fun. And I have confidence that I can make you talk in the end.”
Roxanne writhes in near-ecstasy, tugging uselessly at her restraints. So close, so very close–almost–
Megamind, evidently seeing the signs of her impending climax, lowers the setting on the toy he’s using. Roxanne gives a little scream of frustration and he laughs, damn him.
“Tell me the location, Commander Ritchi,” he says.
Roxanne curses at him fluently.
“Aren’t you ready for your torture to be over, Commander?” he asks. “All you have to do is tell me.”
“I–I–”
Panting, Roxanne gazes up at Megamind–who’s looking very hot and flustered, his face flushed and the collar of his Imperial uniform slightly loosened. She licks her lips and his eyes follow the movement.
“–let me go,” she says.
Megamind blinks, surprised–not by the words, but by the tone of confidence, she thinks.
She licks her lips again, tilts her head, arching her neck. Megamind’s eyes track that moment as well, before snapping up to hers again.
Roxanne smiles at him, slow and deliberate.
“Let me escape,” she says, “and the two of us can go there together.”
Megamind’s eyes widen.
After an exciting escape which involves Roxanne convincing Megamind to defect to the Rebellion, the two of them ‘stealing’ weapons then running and hiding all throughout the Lair from imaginary Imperial troops, commandeering a ‘spaceship’, battling their way through an attack by Imperial starfighters, and finally arriving safely at the Rebel base, Roxanne admits to herself that perhaps that roleplay session got a little bit away from them.
But neither of them mind, so it doesn’t really matter.
I really think that he was working himself up to telling her who he really was and quitting villainy!
His comment to Minion about how Roxanne ‘will never find out’ who he really is–I think that is him trying to deceive Minion, to downplay this whole thing. No, Minion, of course I’m not wearing cologne! No, of course I’m not going on a date with Roxanne! No, of course she’s never going to find out who I really am; this isn’t a big deal!
But it is a big deal.
The novelization of the movie actually implies even more strongly that he’s planning on quitting villainy, and that he wants to tell her who he is. He says, when the two of them are talking about Megamind, “maybe he’s met someone who changed his outlook on things. He might be thinking of hanging up the whole villainy thing altogether.” Not wanting to be the bad guy isn’t something he just blurts out to Minion on the spur of the moment; he’s actually thought about it.
Megamind wasn’t planning on telling Roxanne in the restaurant, of course, but I do think he was planning on telling her–probably after the date, when he took her home.
His question to her about whether or not she’d still like him if he ‘was bald and had the complexion of a popular primary color’–that’s him testing the waters and also maybe him dropping a hint, I think. And maybe Roxanne’s response isn’t entirely encouraging, as she tells him that you should judge people based on their actions, but it’s also not the most discouraging thing ever, either. She doesn’t tell him that his ‘random non-specific example’ sounds ugly or unappealing, and she doesn’t just laugh off the idea.
She says that you should judge people by their actions, and Megamind knows that a lot of his actions haven’t been good, but he’s planning on quitting villainy; he’s made a new superhero; he’s cleaned up the city and returned all the things he’s stolen, and so maybe, maybe–
He’s not lying when he tells Roxanne that he never thought she would actually be with him, but Megamind’s always been willing to attempt impossible things.
I have, yes! I haven’t got any definite plot ideas right now, but established relationship stories are fun to write in a way that’s different from the pining romance stories that I usually write! ❤
