Description
The idea in my head was that Team Rocket was following the Twerps in cold weather, and breaks into an empty house for the night. They crawl into bed and slowly warm up, experiencing a moment of complete peace as they fall asleep. I actually tried to write it as a vignette to go with the picture, but it never quite jelled...but the picture still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, both in a Rocketshippy and Rocketfriendshippy way.
Forgive the extreme roughness of the art - I tried several times to refine/redraw it, but never captured the feel of the original. Still, I hope it might amuse/charm other fans of Team Rocket and their quirky, near-symbiotic relationship.
This picture, and especially your description, remind me of a canon-compliant fanfic I’m working on; the aftermath of “Snow Way Out”. In that episode, they got stranded on a snowy mountainside when the balloon drifted away and were struggling to keep warm. Eventually, the kids found the balloon and used it to fly off the mountain themselves. The TRio see their balloon, chase after it, and fall into a hot spring. So they were warmed up for the moment, but now soaking wet and in an even worse situation. So Part 1 of my fic is figuring out how to get down below the snowline (rolled a snowball down first to make a chute they could slide down quickly) and Part 2 is trying to get warmed up at the nearest pokecenter while a helpful Joy takes care of Meowth. It ends with both of them cuddled together by the fireplace, wrapped in blankets and wearing bathrobes Joy let them borrow, and in my mind’s eye it looks a lot like this.
