I always wondered how Kaito could afford his heists and the answer I came up with is that he sells his own merch.

That One AU Where Shinichi Is A Fanfiction Author

-         Shinichi starts to write Sherlock Holmes fanfiction from an early age (13/14 years old).

-         His user name on his fanfiction account and other sites for similar reasons is ‘onetruth4869’ wow you’re so creative I.W.P-chan.

-         One ‘magickaito’ (actually Kaito because you couldn’t guess I’m sure /slapped) is a faithful follower and reviewer who keeps Shinichi on his toes and is the main reason Shinichi ever writes Sherlock Holmes crossovers (mainly with Arsene Lupin).

-         One ‘shipalltheboys’ (actually Sonoko) is usually the third party in any discussion Shinichi and Kaito have. She always insists that Holmes and Lupin have a thing for each other and should get together. She also insists that 'onetruth’ and 'magickaito’ should get together too.

-         Shinichi and Kaito typically team up to vehemently deny being a couple and argue against every point that 'shipalltheboys’ presents.

-         None of the three is aware of who the others in the discussion are in real life.

-         Sometimes, one 'whitehorse4869’ (actually Hakuba how surprising was THAT anyway?) shows up. He is a big fan of 'onetruth’.

-         Once, 'shipalltheboys’ challenged 'onetruth’ to write HolmesLupin. 'onetruth’ replied with a one-shot featuring T-rated HolmesLupin slash (also the first Lupin POV that he ever wrote) a week later. Hakuba reluctantly admitted that he could see how a thief and a detective could enter a romantic relationship despite them being, y'know, a thief and a detective. Kaito had to stop and take a breather half-way through the fic and admitted that it hit him in a place inside him that he didn’t know existed before. (Be patient with him, it’s his first time dealing with Feels). Sonoko grudgingly admitted that 'onetruth’ can write a good romance.

-         After KID makes his reappearance, Sonoko changes her user name from 'shipalltheboys’ to 'KID-samais#1’. Her constant ramblings about him are the real reason Hakuba came from England to Japan to catch KID in hopes it would shut her up. Shinichi is somehow never present for those ramblings. Kaito is usually fangirling over old heists from his father’s days rather than his own.

-         Shinichi remains ignorant until his Conan days and he meets KID face to face. Then he manages to never miss a rant from Sonoko.

-         Sonoko challenges 'onetruth’ to write a decent fanfiction about KID. Shinichi writes a long, multi-chaptered one that is built on Conan’s observations of KID accompanied by 'stop challenging me it’s starting to get ridiculous and no I won’t insert you as KID’s love interest’ aimed towards 'KID-samais#1’ either clearly stated or written in code inside the fic itself. Kaito is suspiciously silent save for 'stop writing thief POV YOU’RE KILLING ME INSIDE AND MAKING ME DRWON IN FEELINGS I NEVER KNEW I HAD BEFORE!! *cries*’. Hakuba would never admit that that fic is the main reason he called Kaito to tell him about Chat Noir and why he changed his attitude towards challenging KID. Sonoko is impressed.

-         'onetruth4869’ is very good at writing thieves and their POVs and Kaito thinks it’s unfair. As long as he doesn’t think about it too much and no one reads it out loud to him, he won’t spontaneously start crying.
