Hi there! Apologies for suddenly turning up out of the blue like this - it's just that the new chapter was so fascinating I had to find out what the world thinks about it. I like the remarkable considered thought put into your posts! The only thing that I wanted to ask about was actually this:
It can't just be that TYL!Gokudera was in the dark as to Irie's true identity; his knowledge of Irie's plan rules that out I was just curious as to how Gokudera knew about Irie's plan, because the sense I got from my (admittedly brief) reading was that Gokudera was quite in the dark as to Irie's true intentions. (I assume you meant Irie's real plan: the whole I'm-really-on-your-side and interchanging past/present Guardians business)
Once again, sorry for turning up! I normally just observe, but I just wanted to ask about this one.
First off, no problem at all! I love comments, so. :)
Anyway, the reason I figure TYL!Gokudera must have known about Shouichi's plan is because of the letter he sent to his younger self. It specifically instructs them to use the Vongola rings to defeat Byakuran--something that would only be possible a) if the younger Guardians were sent to the future, and b) if they then stayed in the future for an extended period of time. Since we now know that Irie's machine is what made the latter possible, Gokudera must have known about it beforehand, or else his letter makes no sense.
And I'm just assuming that if Gokudera knew that much, he probably knew about Irie's being a double agent as well. Partly because of what I said in the post about the likelihood of the TYL!Vongola communicating with Irie, and partly because Gokudera had to get the info about the machine from somewhere, and Irie's a likely source. (Though it could have also been Mukuro.)
So it's not 100% certain, but given the letter, I'm pretty sure he knew.
