Summary:

He ends up inadvertently left alone with Ivy, and the two have some time to kill...
And red nail polish to use.

(Made for Player Appreciation Week, Day 3)
Day 4 of Player Appreciation Week!
@playerappreciationweek
Summary:
Player is Carmen Sandiego's hacker, always. Even when he's stuck with this twisted, awful version of her...
And a bunch of VILE operatives.
Day 5, BOYS!
@playerappreciationweek
Summary:
On paper, introducing Sonia and Player seemed like a good idea.
(made for Player Appreciation Week Day 5)
(made for Player Appreciation Week Day 6)
@playerappreciationweek
Summary: On his way to a Team Red lunch post-VILE, Player ends up in a minor crash with an... old ally of theirs.
Day 7 of Player Week, at last!
@playerappreciationweek
Summary for the fic:
"“Z-Zack?” Ivy asked. She took a few steps forward, her eyes bright and terrified. Player snarled. "
Or, alternatively; After being kidnapped, Team Red stumbles upon a very hungry, very vicious vampire... their own teammate.
(Made for Day 7 of Player Appreciation Week)
*While visiting Player*
Zack: Hey, what state are we in?
Player: I want you to look me in the eyes and repeat what you just said.
Player: I just chugged a bottle of NyQuil thinking it was DayQuil so to fix it, I also drank an entire monster.
Carmen: ... is your heart okay?
Carmen: Player, what's this bag of white powder I found in your room?
Player: Oh, that? It's crushed eggshells, for my plants
Carmen: THANK GOD I thought you were doing drugs!
I’d like to offer you;
One Player-related sick fic
Summary:
After VILE is taken down, Carmen follows Player's advice and chooses to reconnect with her team.
Unfortunately the day of, Player falls ill.
Fortunately, though, his best friends are there to help.
Citrine posts for Whumptober!!! Huzzah!!
Summary:
When waking up in a bad situation, with a wire around your neck and your life at risk, one should be concerned about themself.
All Player can worry about is Carmen.
(Made for Day 1 of 2022's Whumptober; Unconventional Restraints)
*offers you some more fandom/Whumptober angst*
Summary:
Player is different from his teammates.
He isn't used to gallivanting across the globe or having little to no downtime or being stuck with people who are (endearingly) loud.
But he's fine!
... Right?
(Made for Whumptober Swap-out Prompt; Sensory Overload (in place of Day 3))
A hidden injury fic?? More likely then you’d think
Summary:
Player screws up. Very badly. Not the kind his mother would tease him for, but the kind that would make his friends ban him from heists in person for the foreseeable future, the kind that would make Carmen blame herself and fret until the cows came home.
Player gets stabbed.
(Made for Whumptober Day 4, Dead On Your Feet and the prompt Blood Loss)
POV: You leave a hacker in a hot car
Summary:
After being kidnapped by Moose Boy and Otter Man, Player is left alone in the back of a van. And it's getting hotter by the minute.
(Made for Whumptober Day 5, Every Whumpee's Needs and the prompt "Hyperthermia")
*takes a nap*
Summary:
After attempting escape with Carmen, Player is dragged back and kept in the dark from their punishment.
At least, until Brunt grabs the whip.
(Made for Whumptober Day 10, Poor Unforunate Souls and the prompt Whipping, as well as Day 17, Stress Positions)
Yet another CS Whumptober Fic about Player
Summary:
In the short time Player's been imprisoned, he's already learned not to give his captors a reaction to his suffering. Unfortunately, that's not exactly possible when one of them is intent on playing a special kind of game with him, one with consequences that could kill Player.
(Made for Whumptober Day 22, Pick Your Poison, and the prompt "Toxic")
Carmen Sandiego gets a hundred percent funnier if you remember that Player has directly heard the VAST majority of Carmen's on-heist interactions (if you don't believe me, just pay attention to the way he talks after an event. Example: "You were kind of... direct", after her lecture in Dubai implies that he heard the fight)
Carmen: you aren't really dressed for the occasion... but we'll make it work ;)
Player, spitting out his drink: CARMEN-
--
Player: DID YOU JUST THROW A SHOE AT DEVINEAUX??
--
Player: Carmen I swear to God if you jump off of that building-
--
Carmen: when are you going to stop acting like amateurs!?
Player, casually turning the sound on his computer allll the way down: let's just ignore that :))) everything's fine!!
--
Player, hearing his best friend get her bones SNAPPED in a death hug: ...
--
Carmen: YOU OWE ME A NEW HAT!
Player: YEAH!
The most underused part of the entire Carmen Sandiego show and fandom is the fact that Player is canadian.
Like... Carmen walks into the kitchen at three AM to see Ivy and Zack cheering for Player, who's chugging a giant ass glass of water to a folk song.
He convinced the siblings that Canadian House Hippos existed for several months until Carmen found out and made him admit they aren't real (they ARE)
And he??? keeps walking out into snowstorms with barely any clothes to get the god damn mail for his mom and his team keeps SCREAMING about it.
Someone else has probably noticed this, but did you guys know that in Carmen Sandiego, Season 1 Episode 5, during Cleo's dinner party, you can actually see what looks like Lady Dokuso (a character introduced in the next season) dining with the other guests?
Here she is among party guests at the start of the party and, in the last image, when Agent Devineaux breaks in. You can even see her mole!
Her actual introduction (S2, Episode 3). Again note the mole on her face and attention to detail in both shots.
Player, nervous and jittery: Hey, umm... Red? I have a confession, I'm... trans. Carmen, incredibly well-being but with the ignorance of someone who grew up secluded on an island: ... like transformer? Player: Carmen: Are... are you a robot? Player, trying very hard not to laugh:
