Maybe the dog has some special senses that can detect the unusual presence of time travellers. It could bark loudly to scare them away or stand guard protectively.
Well, in this story, the dog's role is likely very crucial. It could be the first line of defense. Since time travellers are an unknown and potentially dangerous entity, the dog's presence and its ability to react quickly can be the difference between safety and danger. It might not understand exactly what time travellers are, but it knows that something unusual is there and that it needs to protect its owner. For instance, it may jump in front of the time travellers to prevent them from reaching its owner, using its body as a physical barrier.
One interesting time travellers story is 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. It tells of a man who builds a machine and travels to the far future where he discovers two different races, the Eloi and the Morlocks. Another is 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' by Mark Twain. Here, a man is transported back to the time of King Arthur. And 'Doctor Who' is also full of time travel stories, with the Doctor traveling through time and space, having adventures and saving different civilizations.
The Doctor from 'Doctor Who' is extremely famous. He's a Time Lord who travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which looks like a blue police box on the outside but is huge inside. Another is Marty McFly from 'Back to the Future'. He's a regular teenager who gets thrown into time - traveling adventures. And then there's the Terminator in 'The Terminator' series. It's a cyborg sent back in time with a specific mission.
Isolation can be a theme too. The time traveler may feel isolated from their own time or the people in the time they visit because of their unique situation. Their love might be the only connection that bridges these gaps, like in some stories where the time traveler is an outcast in the time they end up in, but their love gives them a sense of belonging.
It is not entirely safe. A dog's mouth can carry various bacteria, viruses and parasites. For example, Pasteurella can cause infections in humans. Even if the dog seems healthy, there is still a risk of transmitting diseases through licking, especially if the girl has any open wounds or scratches on her face.
No, it's not completely safe. A dog's mouth can carry various bacteria, parasites like salmonella or giardia, and even rabies virus if the dog is not vaccinated. So, it's important to keep dogs away from small children's faces and not allow licking, especially around the mouth area.
Well, from a fictional perspective in a fanfic, it could be safe. If the story has set up a scenario where the dog is clean, healthy and the lick is a sign of friendliness or love towards the girl reader. But we must remember that in reality, dog licks can carry germs. In the fanfic world though, if it's written in a way that doesn't imply any harm or danger, like if the dog is a magical or super - clean dog, then it can be safe for the plot.
Not necessarily. 'Fellow Travellers' could be inspired by real-life situations but might have been fictionalized to make it more engaging or to fit a certain narrative.
Well, the Travellers' origin in Worm by Wildbow is quite interesting. They are a collection of individuals who, for one reason or another, didn't fit into the normal fabric of society in the Worm setting. Their powers and abilities also vary widely. Some might have gained their powers through accidents, while others perhaps had them thrust upon them due to certain events. They started to travel together as a way to survive and make their mark in this dangerous world full of capes and villains.
One great 'time travellers love story' book is 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. It tells the story of a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time - travel involuntarily and his complex relationship with his wife.
