Year of the Rat
Summary:
After years of chasing the nefarious Professor Ratigan, Basil has finally put him behind bars. But without a wit to match him, Basil soon finds that crime solving has become a dull sport. When a string of new murders leads Basil back to Ratigan, an entire world of deception, corruption, and mystery begins to unfurl before him.
Notes:
EDIT: 5/16/21 Made a few edits to this chapter so it's more consistent with the next chapters. Sorry if it's confusing!
Did anyone ask for another indulgent story about a disney movie from the 80s? No? Too bad here it is.
I wanted a grimdark, more murdery version of the story between Ratigan and Basil. I just want to explore their relationship and how they got there. I also just love rats. I plan to deal with dark themes, descriptions of murder, and the characters will also have victorian ideals and ambiguous morals. So be warned. The main focus is still Basil and Ratigan. The rating might also change as the story progresses.
I'd like to thank Selkie_de_Suzie for helping me edit this first chapter. Seriously go read her work, she's genuinely one of the best writers I know and I only hope I can be a fraction of the writer she is one day. Also thank you to my friends who proof read like Miss_take. Miss_take writes awesome Inuyasha x Kagome.
Second chapter is in the works! Enjoy!
