I once asked for prompts on tumblr but I got too impatient so I started writing crack things in my own ask box, partly to simply write drabbles and partly to see if anyone would notice what the heck I was doing (a few did).

My point is, I have no idea how I even came to think of this crossover but here we are.

No warnings, no pairings.

Disclaimer: I do not Mushishi nor The Lorax/Onceler.


Well now, this was a new one. Onceler had been a mushishi for a few years now and had seen a lot of things. But a replica of himself? This could only be the work of a mushi, no doubt about it… One that he had never encountered before, nor read about.

It didn't do any harm (at least not so far) and he supposed that having someone to accompany him on his travels was a pretty nice change - even if he and a selected few were the only ones who could see this duplicate.

The duplicate couldn't speak at first, but it seemed like it learnt quickly. It was almost as if he took Onceler's own words and made them his own. It also kept touching and taking things without his permission, so he came to call it Greedler.
