The Story of Mud

Told in point form. Cause that’s how I told my friend, the one keeping me sane during all this story development. 

This is my favourite complex, weird-layered story there is in the entire story.

see, Aunt Death be like "the easiest way to get at Summer is to get at his bae." so that's how it goes down

Aunt Death petrifies Ayla to get Aelius to calm the fuck and get sealed away

and Avani, she's like "whelp. i love my bro, but he's dead now, but his wife ain't?? better set her up in this cute grotto on a bed of flowers.

now Avani, Avani's mortal bae, Mud, is a little feral child who is under an immortality curse. Avani’s like "well, i'm gonna die soon, better force my best friend to watch over my brother's waifu until we get back," and curses him to stay by this beautiful sleeping lady's side

so on top of never aging or dying, he's now not ever leaveing Ayla's bed side.

pratically skin and bones by the time CUTE GUY TEACHER NOT AT ALL INSPIRED BY GOOD NARUTO CHARACTERS™ finds him

and loves him

and i'm tearing up a little

so Ronan sees this kid, and he's like "COME HOME WITH ME PLEASE LET ME FEED AND CARE FOR YOU"

but the kid's like "i'm cursed to this spot."

Ronan cries a little and spends all his free time with Mud. after classes, he visits him to feed him, on weekends he teaches him, 24/7 he cares for him.

Mud’s literally never been happier

I mean he’s had some fun times with Avani, and Dandy Lion and Violet are pretty easy to get along with, but like, there’s this fatherly figure giving him love and attention and good food, he’s been blessed 

he loves it. he loves Ronan. and Ronan loves him. they’re like a family.

now

now Sky and Teddy find Ayla's grotto. They revive Ayla.

Ronan goes to visit the kid, and finds the beautiful woman, that strange kid and that strange dog and the kid all standing around. The beautiful woman turns to him and is basically "adopt this fucking child please"

and Ronan, Ronan's like "i... i thought you were his mother???"

she laughs and laughs, her voice like bells. she tells him no and follows the strange kid and the strange dog out of the grotto.

this leaves Ronan with Mud in the cute grotto

Ronan looks as Mud with his brightest, happiest smile, and asks the boy if he’s ready to leave

Mud mirrors his new dad’s face and just pulls him through the brambles.

bonus:

after Thales confesses to Ronan that he only got cursed because he was caught picking flowers out of a witch’s flower garden - flowers he says, he was gonna give to him, after having witnessing how beautiful Ronan is

and sorta moving in with Ronan and Mud

it’s discovered that Thales is a much better cook than Ronan

Mud tells Ronan to marry the man as soon as he’s tasted the man’s cooking

and they sorta do, after they fall into this weird domestic bliss and become super comfortable with another

it shows in Mud, as the boy ages

his immortality curse was so that he could find a Family
