Just a cute little idea I had in my mind for a bit, where Innes just..didn't hide from Muir, and comforted him instead, assuring him that he was never going to leave him for as long as he lived.
Back from my break..I really do appreciate all of your kind messages, couldn't stop reading through them and smiling. You guys are truly amazing people, and I'm so happy I get to just be myself in this small community 💙

Recovery AU Muir is even more of a menace than before because he can and WILL grab the nearest infected and fling himself into you with them in his arms. He cares not the consequences.
Also Dobbie is fine if that's what you're wondering
Caz is a complete emotional drunk. Suze once even found him hugging a cabinet, swearing he wouldn’t leave it alone ever again.
Roy always used to bake with his aunt when he was little. The baking turned gears to cooking after Roy’s diabetes diagnosis.
Finlays son is in his late 20’s/early 30’s, and is in the Air Force.
Rennick actually has 3 grandchildren.
Caz used to run track (mostly hurdles) in school before he went to boxing, hence why he’s so fast, and can vault/jump over things with ease.
(May not be a headcannon) Raffs is an apprentice under Brodie supervision.
In the beginning of Raffs apprenticeship, he actually didn’t trust Brodie a lot, leading to Brodie promising he’d look after him.
The crew (besides Trots, McLurg, and Rennick) has all secretly created a Addair hate club. Surprisingly (maybe not), Sunil is the original creator of the club.
Muir really enjoys the beach, and tends to walk around finding shells, and ironically, hermit crabs.
O’Connor is a cat guy, and has 2 tuxedo cats back on the mainland he named Houdini and Shela.
Bruce loves sharks. He doesn’t really tell anyone else or else he will yap their ear off.
Finlay avoids the smell of onions like the black plague. She’ll only tolerate the smell if they are cooked in any way to minimize the stench.
Alex answers almost any question about his action with “your mom” when he’s with Sunil
Sunils mother died when he was 3 from a lung infection he has yet to know what caused it in the first place.
Innes tried to dye his hair red with a drink mix he found, accidentally staining his hands and forehead red for at least a week.
During said week- Muir refused to hold were Innes held, as it felt oddly sticky because of the juice packet.
Ok, hear me out, Still Wakes The Deep Fandom- Second Chance AU!
The entire crew (minus Caz for reasons) wake up on the 26th, screaming with their "dreams" being of their death and the hours leading up to it. Scooby remembers talking to Caz before Rennick found and killed him, Muir remembers holding Innes right before the debris crushed him, and Brodie remembers the horrific feeling of drowning in oil.
Caz, on the other hand, wakes up, reads the letter...and no Trots to interrupt him because Trots is busy puking his guts out because he remembers (with perfect clarity) posing the mutilated bodies of his friends like they were dolls.
No one's in the Canteen because they're all too busy having existential crises, Roy included. Muir is hiding from Innes, and Gibbo is doing the same with Douglas. Rennick is just hiding from everyone.
Caz has zero idea as to why his friends have all gone crazy overnight and why almost everyone but Gregor and Addair is staring at him like he's the damn Messiah.
(Gregor just assumes he had a hyper realistic nightmare until Archie screams for him to stay the hell away from the Helipad. Addair is still a bitch)
Now the crew is stuck working on the rig, stressed out of their minds while Caz is going about his everyday normal duties with no worrying about going to the mainland because Rennick didn't call him to his office.
