... Well, that's good....
Decided to do a tally of exactly what disasters James has run into in my fics. Ended up determining that at least he's only died for real once, in the St. Matthew Beach fic. Of course, when I get the Control Freak redo done, then that's the next closest experience to dying, but since that one is an enchanted death that can be broken and reversed magically due to the strength of Jessie's feelings, not exactly the same thing.
On the other hand, he's certainly been thought dead at other times when he wasn't, like in Dead and Alive and in the first Turtles crossover fic, and the whole trio collectively in the fall of the organization fic I'm tinkering with. Ditto for the movie 2 missing scene fic. And then Ash and company isn't sure in the wax fic. I think that everybody slips into suspended animation while encased or they'd suffocate. So when they're released, they all fall down. There'd probably be a few seconds of worry before finding they're alive.
Then there's being possessed by an evil spirit and eventually collapsing during the fight against it. Another few moments of worry and not being sure, although in the end he's just knocked out that time.
In the really old fics that weren't redone, there is that deconstruction of the blasting off problem where he definitely appeared dead and I'm not sure myself whether he was really dead for a while or not. It certainly looked as though he was. And the one I never finished or put up where he and Jessie had a really bad argument and he ran off and fell and was hurt. I can't recall what the extent of my intentions were with that fic. I think I got as far as Jessie and Meowth finding where he is, but not having got down to him yet. I don't think I'm taking the really old fics into my timeline, though. But I have thought I might like to redo Rock Slide! sometime. I wrote that when Mountain Time! bent me out of shape. In Rock Slide! and that Dead and Alive follow-up, James got to be the hero without being a victim as well, LOL. In all the newer fics, minus the first Turtles crossover and the ones focusing on Meowth, he seems to end up as both.
I wonder what I really intended with that old Dead and Alive follow-up. I had no inspiration following the chapter I put up. I kind of think I mainly just wanted to get in the idea that the Giovanni out to get James in the first Dead and Alive had been an evil double, and cross the fic over with my YGO fic Sacrifice.
