     It wasn’t Stiles. It WASN’T Stiles. He knew it, he could See it. Like a faceless, looming shadow with pale white eyes that peeked out from within that dark space, like an absence of light, a void where a person was supposed to be. But it looked like Stiles. When it spoke, it was Stiles’ voice that he heard and Stiles’ eyes staring back at him and it made his skin crawl to look at his brother and not really see him at all. He still didn’t understand what it was, how it had sunk itself into his brother without him noticing, without him DOING something but he couldn’t change the past.

Cosmo tried to harden his heart to the guilt and the panic that threatened to swallow him as he stared at the thing that had taken hold of his brother. Tried to take a hold of the part of his brain that was screaming in dismay and despair and push it into a box in the back of his head and he let his Sight flicker to life.

    On the surface, nothing about Cosmo changed. But the pupils of his eyes had rapidly dilated, swallowing his irises almost completely. There were two shapes in front of him now, one was Stiles — poor trapped Stiles — and the other was the spirit that had taken over.

“    I  can  See  you,  asshole.    ”    Cosmo said in a voice that sounded far calmer than he really was.  //  @volatilehearted  ♡‘d  for  a  starter

TEEN  WOLF  VERSE  ARCS

Cosmo’s current default verse is set after he has graduated from university. He works at an independent Cyber Security firm but uses his online alias g1itch to supply supernatural creatures with new identities and cover stories when they need to move locations due to imposing dangers. He remains in contact with Scott and every now and again is willing to work as a consultant or partner into supernatural investigations, but only if he’s asked to by a close friend or ally.

ARC  I,  SEASON  1 :  Cosmo was recently admitted to Eichen House where he was placed within the care of Josephine Vickers, a professional psychiatrist who would diagnose Cosmo with behavioral and mental health issues including but not limited to, antisocial, borderline and avoidant personality disorders. Josephine would mold much of Cosmo’s personal feelings towards himself, convincing him of several notions that remain within him into adulthood. Cosmo is released from Eichen House soon after Kate Argent and Peter Hale are found responsible for the murders occurring around Beacon Hills.

ARC  II,  SEASON  2 :  Cosmo has made an effort to focus on his studies and returning to a normal life after his time spent in Eichen House but finds this extremely difficult when he continues to See monsters around every corner. In an effort to cope with his “hallucinations”, Cosmo begins to self-medicate with alcohol, behaving impulsively and with little regard to his own wellbeing. After the attack at Jungle, Cosmo demands answers from Stiles but remains in the dark about the existence of the supernatural until he has a harrowing confrontation with Gerard Argent.

ARC  III,  SEASON  3A :  As Cosmo’s visions continued to plague him, he begins investigating the existence of the supernatural in secret. However, with Jennifer Blake appearing as a scarred cloaked figure in class and Lydia Martin being followed by the dead, things come to a tipping point when Noah is taken hostage by the Darach. The twins work together to find the location of where Noah, Melissa and Chris were being kept.

Stiles finally admits the existence of werewolves and the supernatural world to Cosmo who later learns from Deaton that he is what is known as a Seer. A rare being that is able to perceive and witness the true forms of supernaturals and see through the veil which separates supernatural imprints and occurrences from the eyes of normal people.

ARC  IV,  SEASON  3B :  Cosmo spends much of his break studying and researching Seer’s and with his brother's help and discovers a way to turn off his Sight allowing him to go days without seeing visions of monsters and worlds beyond their own. His triumph however does not last as Stiles’ nightmares become more frequent and frightening. Upon Stiles’ possession, the Nogitsune returns home to where Cosmo confronts it.

The Nogitsune, believing that Cosmo’s death would break Stiles’ spirit and allow it complete control over his host, attacks Cosmo. However, with the use of his Sight, Cosmo manages to grasp a hold of the spirit itself and attempts to tear it from Stiles’ body. The Nogitsune is forced to flee but the ordeal causes Cosmo immense pain, eyes hemorrhaging and suffering a seizure that hospitalizes him.

ARC  V,  SEASON  4 :  Cosmo was one of the names on the Deadpool list, worth 20 million like Lydia Martin due to his being a Seer. He found himself periodically being shadowed by his brother and friends in an effort to keep an eye on him, but when he was inevitably attacked by several would-be assassins, he was able to defend himself. However, Cosmo’s tendency for extreme violence has him facing several uncomfortable questions from family and allies as he fails to recognize when he crosses the line from self-defense, to attempted murder.

While Cosmo attempts to reevaluate his stance on the use of extreme violence, he aids in the investigation into those responsible for the Deadpool and has become an active participant with the McCall pack.

ARC  VI,  SEASON  5A :  The Dread Doctors cause Cosmo’s Seer abilities to fluctuate and overwhelm him. He finds himself reliving the massacre of the Seer’s, watching and experiencing how they were hunted to extinction because of their abilities to tear open doorways in the fabric of reality and to pass between worlds as Travelers. Cosmo even watches as a Seer ripped a shifters animal from their body, making them human and killing their animal in the process. Cosmo begins to experiment with his growing abilities and finds that overexertion results in bleeding from his eyes, intense migraines, possible aneurysm in the frontal lobe of his brain and even death.

He is eventually designated plan B if Lydia was unable to break Mason out of Beast mode.

ARC  VII,  SEASON  5B :  Cosmo’s abilities as a Seer makes him immune to the Ghost Rider’s ability to cause amnesia in those left behind by their hunt. As such he was neutralized when the Ghost Riders manipulated a series of events and memories events to have Cosmo readmitted into Eichen House. As Cosmo was dependent upon Stiles’ presence not only for his own sanity but because Stiles acted as his emotional tether, he became erratic, easily provoked and borderline manic.

Cosmo spends the majority of his time in Eichen House honing his Seer abilities and is eventually able to break out of Eichen House by tearing open a doorway into a mirror realm. He reunites with Scott and the others as they began to realize that they had forgotten someone important but Cosmo is difficult to work with as he has a hard time reconnecting with his friends when Stiles was always their common link.

ARC  VIII,  COLLEGE :  Cosmo leaves Beacon Hills upon graduating High School with Honors and enrolls at the University of San Francisco. He’s working on a double major in Engineering and Computer Science, he’s working as a summer internship for Applied Physics and designs his own app which has monopolized income that Cosmo has begun investing as well as using to pay off his father’s debts with Eichen House, their mortgage and has begun saving to eventually renovate his childhood home.

He only lives in the university dorms for his first year before he moves into a loft apartment and hopes to have a more challenging career in Physics Science. He is still in touch with the majority of the McCall pack and stays in Beacon Hills with his father for the holidays as well as visiting his brother as often as he can.

ARC  IX,  POST  COLLEGE :  Cosmo has graduated university with a Bachelor of Engineering Technology, majoring in Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Electrical Engineering. Officially, Cosmo works as a Software Engineer for an independent cyber security firm. The work is interesting and challenging as some of the firm's clients require elite security services. Unofficially, Cosmo works under his alias g1itch, supplying supernatural creatures with new identities and cover stories when they need to move locations due to imposing dangers.

Cosmo works largely as an anonymous figure, rarely meeting his clients face-to-face and almost exclusively aiding those who are recommended to him through either his brother, or Scott McCall. Cosmo has since created a large network of contacts, both supernatural and human. As such, he is usually the middleman and thus has been targeted by hunters and other violent and dangerous creatures attempting to use him as a way of garnering other victims.

          cosmo flinched. the volume of noah’s voice feeling like some blunt object was hammering itself into his temple. his eyes still felt as if they were burning, whites a dark wine red where vessels had popped, and his skull felt as if it had been split apart and haphazardly put back together. he knew why his father was upset. he had been hospitalized. he had been unconscious for three days. he had almost died. again. and he was right, cosmo wasn’t okay but he was still alive, which was more than he could say about stiles who was missing and possessed.

cosmo raised his gaze to meet his fathers eye and couldn’t get the lie out. lying was easy once he was able to weave his lies with the truth, mask the fibs and the deceits with honesty because half of the people he knew now could hear a lie, but he had never been good at lying to noah.

          “    i  have  to  be  okay !    ”    cosmo snapped, because anger was always so much easier than guilt. because frustration was easier to deal with than the broken look on his dad’s face.    “    i  don’t  have  time  not  to  be !  stiles  is  out  there,  ALONE,  and  i  almost  had  it !  i  had  it  in  my  hands  and  i  could  have  gotten  it  out  and  i  didn’t  and  that  thing  .  .  .    ”    cosmo sucked in a shaking breath, emotion swelling like a stone in his throat as his eyes burned.    “    i’m  gonna  rip  that  fucking  thing  out  of  stiles  even  if  it  kills  me  and  you  can’t  stop  me.    ”    //  @itssheriffstilinski​  continued  from  here
