#Sersi is like you don't want that trust me

[softquietsteadylove]

It’s mistlefoe season… we need some spicy Thenamesh holiday content

"Wow."

Sersi smiled at Gil admiring the snow falling with his nose practically pressing his nose to her window. "It's been a while since you've seen it, I suppose."

"Don't know how many years," he murmured as he admired the gentle snowfall beginning to blanket London. "And it definitely wasn't with all the lights and stuff."

Sersi laughed faintly, "it actually is quite lovely. Dane loves the holiday season."

Gil turned away from the window and nodded, slipping his hands into his pockets, "does he have family traditions and stuff?"

"Dane has," Sersi paused smiling faintly, "interesting family lineage. But he does enjoy the usual human things--making cookies, gingerbread houses, themed films."

"Have fun," Gil waved to his sister as she waved to him on her way out. She had left him and Thena her flat while they were visiting, stating that it was no trouble since she stayed with Dane most nights these days anyway.

Dane had made the mistake of asking if they would like to use his flat's guestroom, to which Thena had told him directly that she preferred her own space should they wish to 'exercise physical intimacy'. Dane had gone rather red while Sersi had admonished Thena for deliberately embarrassing for her own amusement.

But having their own space was what they were used to, after all. Gil stepped away from Sersi's window and slowly moved towards her bedroom. Thena had immediately said her goodbye to Sersi and headed right to the bedroom.

She needed to prepare something, she said.

Gil drifted to the door and knocked gently, "you okay, hon? Can I come in?"

"Indeed."

Gilgamesh opened the door, ready to jump on the nice big bed and cuddle his wife after a nice day of visiting. He stopped short at the door, his hand dropping off the handle and his jaw opening. "Holy shit."

"It is customary to give gifts," Thena declared completely seriously from her place on the bed, sitting up with her legs curled in front of her and her hair twisted over her shoulder. "But we require nothing."

"Uh," Gil swallowed dryly, eyeing the long legs on the green duvet. "Y-Yeah."

"But when Sersi was in a cosmetics store," Thena continued in her borderline scientific explanation as he practically floated over to her. "They were saying that a man would appreciate most something...physical."

Gil just nodded, eyeing his wife's naked body with a ribbon tied around it. It was a wide, red thing, long and wound around her several times.

"This was what I purchased," she concluded, gesturing to the ribbon, and where it was attempting to bind and support her breasts like a mummy wrapping.

"I love it," Gil murmured completely dumbstruck, crawling onto the bed. "I love you."

Thena finally smiled, leaning forward only slightly to kiss him, letting him clamber over her in the centre of the bed and its many, many pillows. She laughed as they landed backwards, Gilgamesh kissing her loudly and hungrily. "Does this gift satisfy you?"

He pulled away to grin at her, touching the tip of his nose to hers before reaching for the end of the bow under her ribs. "Satisfies me every time, hon."

Thena received more of his kissing, as well as his tongue seeking out hers. "Eager."

"For you?" he grinned at her again, finally undoing the fine, silky ribbon and replacing its touch on her skin with his hands. "For this?--always."

Thena purred as he ran his hands down her waist and to her hips, helping her shimmy out of the remainder of the ribbon until she was completely exposed.

Gil nearly howled as he pulled it away, catching some evidence of her own eagerness sticking to the ribbon. He brought it to his lips, "I should unwrap it properly."

Thena leaned back against their many pillows, her hair tumbling around her as he parted her knees around his shoulder and licked up her thigh. "Gil."

He listened to her sighs become moans as he latched onto her, letting his tongue explore her as if for the first time, and not one of thousands upon thousands. He always liked to explore her body like it was a gift--he was well practised for this 'gifting season'.

"Gil," Thena panted, her back arching and her hips squirming as he pushed his tongue into her. She moved her hips against him as well, but his strength helped him keep her from bucking him away. "Gil, yes!"

He always liked to have a taste of her before the main course. She thought it was ridiculous that he would apply flavour analogies to their lovemaking. But it was his nature, and it was what he loved! And surely using his perfect palette on what he loved most in the world - her - was the best way to utilise it.

"Gil!" Thena arched her back up higher, lifting her hips to meet him more aggressively. "There, right there!"

He repeated exactly what she asked. His Warrior Eternal knew what she desired, and he liked that she took exactly that. He pushed his lips harder against her clit.

"Fuck!"

He liked it when she cursed, too. They sounded sexier when she did it.

Thena purred, shimmying around on top of the cotton sheets, her thighs trembling as he helped her lie more comfortably, her knees folding passively.

Gil leaned over her, kissing her again. "You good?"

"Hm," she responded in the affirmative. He pulled her into his embrace, letting her feel the weight of his chest against hers. She went to the trouble of rolling her head forward again to look at him. "Satisfied?"

"Very," he chuckled, kissing her again. "And I can't wait for us both to have the finisher."

Thena rolled her eyes at him calling the act of physical intercourse a 'finisher' to a 'tasting menu' again.

He kissed her again instead. He had torn his clothes off while she was recovering from her orgasm, not needing much time to throw them all away and leave him as bare as her.

Thena moaned against his lips, the sound travelling through them both as he pushed into her in the same breath. Her legs made room for him, her foot dragging up the back of his leg. She dragged her hands up his back, digging into the meat of his shoulders briefly before sinking into his hair.

Gil pushed his elbows into some of the many pillows around them to change his angle. Thena whined, changing the angle of her hips as well. "How long?"

"Hm?" she blinked, having had her eyes closed in bliss (which he always considered him doing a good job).

"How long?" he repeated, thrusting into her. He grasped the ribbon that was still stuck under them, pressing it between his thumb and knuckle. "When did you buy this? Were you really carrying it around all day?"

Thena merely nodded, not feeling the need to explain herself. Especially not her plan to seduce him with her naked body using ribbon from a craft store. "Hours."

He buried his face in her neck, nipping and then licking down to the dip of her clavicle. "Maybe it's good you didn't tell me. I'd have taken you into some changing room or something."

Thena grinned like a devil, "again."

Sersi had been so mortified that she had refused to exit the mall at the same time as them lest she be associated by witnesses. Thena had stated that the door was locked, so they were technically not indecent had they not 'called the authorities'.

"It was fun, though," he also smirked as he started moving faster. "Hey, we're on vacation."

"Honeymoon number...?" Thena prompted before letting her head fall back again, her hands linked behind his neck.

"Can't remember," he chuckled, picking up speed again. He bent his legs, helping him lean up so he could grasp her hips and really thrust hard and fast. "I'm thinking of other things--fuck!"

"Yes, almost, almost," she panted and gasped, digging her nails into him again. "Fuck me."

He loved it when she said that. "You comin' with me, sweetheart?"

Thena arched her back all the way off the bad, her toes spreading out and then curling. "Gil!"

She loved it when he called her sweetheart.

Gil followed her swiftly, needing only a few more moves to fall over the edge with her. He leaned over her again, letting their bodies writhe together, all the softness, all the hardness, all parts knocking into each other beautiful and ungracefully. "Fuck!"

Thena was happy to grind their hips together as they both rode out their highs. She undulated around him lazily, her hands drifting over him as she luxuriated in the sheer warmth of him.

He panted into the side of her cheek, her hair pillowing his head. He lifted his head to kiss under her jaw, "you good?"

"Entirely."

Then he had accomplished his mission. He nuzzled her again before leaning up. Thena wasn't going to bother moving at all unless he moved her himself.

She did whine faintly as he pulled away from her, bringing her legs together as he slipped out of her. "And where are you going?"

"We're not at home, Thena," he chuckled, retrieving a towel to dab at her sheening skin.

"And?" she sighed with a smile, letting him run it over her skin the way a cat would allow itself to be petted.

"And I'll make us something to eat too," he promised as a reward for enduring the bore that was aftercare. He wrapped her up in the duvet and pulled her up into his arms. "Sersi stocked the kitchen for me. I should make use of it, shouldn't I?"

"Very well," she sighed, letting him carry her with him for sustenance. "Shall we be returning after our meal break, then?"

If she wanted to, they could go all night. He kissed her forehead, "the gift that keeps on giving, right?"

Masterlist | This collection | AO3

Carol enters her ship after another successful mission wanting for nothing more than to relax and rest, until she senses someone else’s presence in her space home.

She walks slowly, pointing one of her lit up fists in a general forward direction, but before she becomes too alarmed, you decide to make your presence known by stepping closer to her.

Once she sees you, her body stops glowing, but her muscles remain just as tense, "I don't like where this is going," she says as she notices your very official uniform and your unwavering posture.

"I haven't even said anything." You tread carefully.

"But you will." She steps into the living room while taking her gloves off. You can only give her a sympathetic look, following behind her and deciding to rip off the bandaid.   "Agent Danvers, you're fired," you state firmly. Even though she knew it was coming, she still makes a pained expression.

"I already apologized, are you sure there is nothing I can do?" she groans in desperation.

"Pleading with me is useless, I’m afraid, I’m just the messenger here."

"Can I at least talk to Fury again?"

You feel a pit in your stomach, "I disabled your comms, and your ship is permanently on manual mode," Carol slumps on the couch with a big sigh, you remain standing on the other side of the room, staring at her, "I know I’m not supposed to say this, but I’m really sorry," you tell her genuinely.

"You should be! This is all because of you," she weakly snarks.

You were waiting for her to bring it up, "Well, you shouldn't have let Fury catch you," you taunt her.

"How was I supposed to know that you're his daughter?" Her tone is aggressive, but it doesn’t carry any venom.

"You never were the sharpest tool in the shed."

"I didn't even know your name then!" she defends herself.

"Oh, wow, maybe don't let him know that."

She side eyes you, "Like you're the epitome of morality."

"I mean, I knew your name," you point out smugly as you walk closer to her.

"Everyone on Earth knows my name."

"Not for long," you take a seat beside her, "you’re still fired."

"I cannot accept this, who's gonna take over my job? Has he thought of that? It's not like any of the Avengers are fit to do it."

You bite your lip, "Monica was interested."

"Really?" she asks in shock.

"It was either her or Kamala, but then Fury said, 'over 21.'" She reminisces for a bit, as much as she trusts her, it would be too dangerous for Monica to do her job.

"Why couldn't he come fire me himself? He doesn't have the time for his most dedicated agent?" There’s a slight acidity in her words.

"He was going to," you concede.

"And?"

"I, uh, insisted on coming myself." Your heart starts beating faster.

Her brows furl, "Why?"

"So I could do this one last time." You grab her by the back of the neck and pull her into a slow, passionate kiss, she leans in for more, but you pull away connecting your forehead with hers as you breathe heavily.

"I hate you," she whispers with a grin on her face.

You shake your head, "You love me."

"Love?" She raises an eyebrow.

"You don't seem to have much else going on, so…" you shrug.

She gently laughs, "You’re gonna be the death of me."

"Get away from her, Danvers." A deep voice comes through the ship, you lazily peck Carol's nose and stand back completely, a knowing smile growing on your face as you turn to look at the source.

"Hi, dad," you greet the hologram.

"I thought you disabled that," Carol asks you.

"I lied," you mumble back.

"So, my ship is still—?"

"Yup," you quickly admit as you turn back to Fury.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you with this," he scolds you, you stand up to meet his gaze properly.

"You gave me the job, now you accept the consequences."

"What do you even see in her?"

"Are you kidding? She's gorgeous!" Carol exclaims proudly, the compliment makes you feel like a giddy high schooler.

"Wasn’t talking to you, Danvers," he clarifies with a stiff jaw.

"Oh, well, it's still true." She remains on her spot on the couch to let you two talk.

"You’re the one who said I should get out more, meet new people," you try to object to your father’s displeasure.

"Yes. New. People. You've known Carol since you were five."

Your lips curl into a huge smirk, "And that's how I know she's the hottest woman I've ever met."

"Stop being disgusting," he rolls his eye, making you chuckle, "did you do it?" He proceeds with the conversation.

"Yes."

"Then, what are you waiting for? Get back here."

You’re about to oblige when a sudden burst of confidence takes over you, "No."

"What did you say to me?" He is startled by your stunt.

"I said no."

He squints his eye daringly, "I am your boss and your father, when I give you an instruction, you follow it immediately."

"Or what?" You cross your arms defiantly.

"Do not challenge me, young lady!"

Your tough expression melts into a softer one, "Dad, I love you, but I’m not twelve anymore, you have to let me be my own person."

"Yeah, let her be a person, Fury," Carol repeats provokingly.

"Don’t help me," he growls.

In an instant, she realizes, "You just had me fired, I don't have to listen to you anymore," she smiles, Fury is offended by her words, "but, as a friend, I'll tell you what I’m gonna do," she stands up behind you and protectively wraps an arm around your waist, "I am going to hang up this call and let your daughter disable my communications system, I’m gonna take her on a date, probably stargazing, then, I’m gonna make her dinner, we'll have some fun, and afterwards we'll go to sleep together, sound good? Good, bye!" And with that, she ends the call.

You remain frozen in place for a few seconds, "A date?" you repeat tentatively.

"If you’ll have me."

"That sounds nice."

"Wait until you see what I have planned after dinner." She shoots you a wink that makes you blush.

"I can't believe we just did that."

"I can't believe he fired me." Carol is still outraged on the inside.

"Don’t worry about it, give him two weeks to realize literally no one in the universe can fill your shoes and he'll come back begging," you turn to her and wrap your arms around her neck, "as for me, though, I think I’m gonna have to take refuge here, indefinitely."

Your exaggeration makes her giggle, "You’re always welcome to stay with me."

"Thanks." You stare into each other’s eyes for a long moment.

"I love you."

"You do?" you gasp.

"Mhmm, aren't you gonna say it back?" She’s smiling so big, the corners of her eyes wrinkle.

"I love you too."

[supercap2319]

Can you do an Ikaris x Male reader who is known as the Sapphire Wizard and the brother of Wanda (she’s technically dead here because of the end of MOM so ikaris is all he has) and in an attempt to weaken him Ikaris is hypnotized to fall in love with anther man but in the end he breaks the spell with true loves kiss (I know it’s probably overused but it’s one of my faves! Also if possible could you include the part where ikaris is hypnotized. Like the entire trance part and during the story he is brought in and out of trance until MR saved him at the end?) if it’s too much that’s ok!

It was no secret to who Y/N's sister was–had been. Wanda was the mythical Scarlet witch and was prophesied to rule the cosmos. But she didn't want to rule, no, she only wanted her children back and she did anything she could to be with them. Even steal them from another mother's arms. In the end, she made the ultimate sacrifice. She sacrificed herself to destroy the Darkholds in every other universe, so no one else would be tempted by its power. She died as Mount Wundagore came crashing down on top of her.

While her sacrifice was noble, it was not without consequences. Her brother, the Sapphire Wizard, was all alone in the world now. The last of his family and the Avengers he came to trust were gone forever. In their place were complete strangers that Y/N had no desire to get to know, so he turned to the only person he had left in his life that he could trust. A powerful being by the name of Ikaris. He was an Eternal created by the ones who created this universe and everything in it as it was Ikaris' mission to protect it from Deviants, but now, his mission was Y/N.

For a while, things were going well between them. Y/N had come to rely on Ikaris and sought his comfort and reassurance, but all came crashing down when fellow Eternal, Druig came to pay Ikaris a visit.

It happened on a quiet night. Y/N was asleep in his bed and Ikaris was watching something on Netflix, when he felt Druig's mind calling out to his own. "Come out and play, Ikaris. Come and get me." Druig's phantom voice echoed inside his head. Ikaris had taken that as a challenge as he flew out of the apartment window and followed the source of where Druig could be broadcasting from. "With pleasure, dear Druig." He responded back.

Ikaris hasn't seen any of the others since the emergence was stopped. Since Ikaris betrayed them and tried to stop them from stopping Tiamut's birth and the destruction of this planet. He feels they all secretly hated him, Druig and Phastos especially. He found the other male in a dark alleyway as he landed behind him as he strolled towards him. "I was wondering when one of you was going to come and get me. Guess I shouldn't be surprised it's you." Ikaris said.

Druig smirked and turned towards him. "You had this coming, Ikaris. Arishem's golden boy is finally getting what he so rightfully deserves. Consequences for his actions."

Ikaris tried to keep his voice calm, and his lasers chilled as he looked at him. "I think I've already paid for it. Sersi hates me."

"Yeah, you're gonna pay for it. And it's going to be all your fault." Druig sneers.

"Don't think you can threaten me, Druig. You and I both know what I'm capable of." Ikaris warned.

"And you remember what I'm capable of, and thanks to my few seconds in the Uni-Mind before you intervened, I learned that I can do this." His eyes flashed gold and so did Ikaris', but Druig was faster as he latched onto Ikaris' mind and buried his subconscious underneath a mountain of mental bricks as the fight in Ikaris' mind was quieted and Druig had control of him. He smiled. "This is going to be fun."

Druig knew that after Ikaris flew into the metaphorical sun after what he did, the Eternal escaped to New York City and he sought comfort and companionship in Y/N Maximoff. It was cute watching the two of them get closer together, but this was how Druig was going to punish Ikaris. He was going to make it so the only person in Ikaris' life hated him as much as the Eternals did, and he was going to be all alone for the rest of eternity. How delicious.

He forced Ikaris to go to a bar and find anyone that he could to bring home to his and Y/N's apartment. He settled on a cute guy as Druig pulled his strings like a puppet and had the Scottish sounding Eternal bring him home and fuck him so Y/N could hear it all happening. The young man walked into Ikaris' room to see him dick deep inside another guy. Timing it just right, Druig released Ikaris from his control right as he came inside the other male's ass as he looked around in bewilderment. How did he get here, and why was he fucking this guy? Then he remembered what Druig had done to him and immediately knew this was his dirty work.

Before he could do anything else, Ikaris realized that Y/N was in the doorway, tears streaming down his face as he looked absolutely crushed. Ikaris felt a wave of guilt as Y/N ran out of the doorway and into his bedroom as Ikaris gave chase. "Y/N, wait! It's not what it looks like. I can expl–" he trailed off as Druig once again took over his mind.

This happened for weeks. Ikaris would fuck this guy in front of Y/N and when he tried to explain why he was doing this, Druig would pull the metaphorical rug from underneath him and let Ikaris take the fall.

Y/N started to believe he deserved this. He was paying for Wanda's sins against the lives she destroyed and Ikaris was paying for his betrayal. They were both in hell and they couldn't do anything about it, until Y/N had enough. He had to know where they stood, because he wasn't going to take this anymore.

"Ikaris, I don't know if you're trying to punish me for something you think I did, but I don't think I can stand to see you parading your new boyfriend around in my face. So, I just wanted to let you know that I'm moving and I won't bother you anymore." Y/N said.

Ikaris didn't say anything as he stood there motionless as his subconscious was fighting and crying underneath his bricked prison as he heard everything that Y/N was saying to him. He remembers everything he did, even if he didn't do it by choice. Every kiss. Every touch that wasn't Y/N's was permanently inside his brain, and Druig knew it.

"I've been in love with you since we first met, but I guess I was fooling myself. So, I'm going to go and let you live your life. I wish you the best." He walk towards Ikaris and placed his hands on his face, bringing him close as he kissed him goodbye.

If only he realized that this kiss was one of true love as Druig's mental prison started to break around Ikaris' trapped subconscious and he fought to the surface of his mind as he gained control for the first time in weeks as he kissed him back, tears rolling down his face as he pulled. "I love you too, Y/N. I always have and I'm sorry if I hurt you, but it wasn't my fault. Druig was controlling me as punishment for what I did, but you saved me."

Y/N looks at him in shock. "You were being controlled?"

"I was. And I'm sorry for anything I did. I meant what I said. I love you, and your love set me free."

Y/N hugged him tight as Ikaris sighed happily. Druig may have won the battle, but Ikaris just won the war.

Mute (Druig x reader)

Summary: Reader goes mute after taking a rogue lazer beam to the throat when protecting Druig.

Notes: GIF is not mine, angst, sad themes (depression), Eternals spoilers

Prompt Credit @scrvllet : "Let me be there for you"

--

There you were, on the battlefield against Ikaris and Sprite. You had an inkling about Ikaris but you never would have expected Sprite to go rogue too. Without Kingo, it's much harder to defeat Ikaris, let alone Sprite. Together they're basically unstoppable.

You helped Makkari and Phastos keep Ikaris at bay while Sersi goes closer to the Celestial. Sprite uses her illusion to distract Sersi long enough to stab her. Ikaris breaks free from Phastos' grip and flies over to Sersi when he sees Druig knocking Sprite out with a rock.

"Makkari, send me over there please." You sign and she nods. You take her hand and she rushes you over to where Ikaris, Sersi, Sprite and Druig were. Ikaris sends a beam towards Druig and you push him to the ground. The beam pierces through your throat and you fell to the ground in ear ringing pain.

You clutch your throat and curl into a ball. Your muscle and skin were starting to regenerate but it wasn't quick enough. The damage was already done. Makkari tries to talk to you but your eyes were screwed shut and pain envelopes your body.

"Y/N! Y/N, look at me, darlin'. Let me see." Druig says and you shake your head, pushing away his hand on your shoulder. You finally take a deep breath when the pain subsided.

"Oh my God, what have I done?" Ikaris says in disbelief. "Y/N?" Sersi says and you look to her. You tried to speak but you wince in pain.

Fear settled in your bones. You couldn't speak. "Y/N, look at me. Everything is going to be okay. Just breathe." Makkari signs when she noticed your hands starting to shake. You crawl away from everyone as you tried to speak again. Nothing.

Your breathing grew ragged and Ikaris lands in front of you. Makkari used the force of her speed to throw him into a massive rock. You stand from the ground as he nears and the whites of your eyes changed to onyx. "Y/N, stop." Sersi stands between you and Ikaris and hurt stabbed through your heart.

"He broke me, and you still defend him?" You sign when your eyes slowly went back to it's normal color. "Y/N, please. I love him." Sersi explains. "Then you two deserve each other. I never want to see you again." You sign, tears threatening your eyes.

You walk away from them and Phastos and Thena joined the group. You sat back down and looked down at the drying blood on your trembling hands.

Resting your face in your hands, you no longer have the energy to push them away. Phastos and Makkari were by your side and you silently cried into Makkari's arm.

She held your head as she withheld her own tears. Druig's heart wrenches in his chest seeing you like this. Thena recognized the look in his eye and stood in his way from going to Ikaris. "Out of the way, Thena." Druig says. "It won't change what happened," she explains.

He looks over to you shaking in Makkari's arms. He reads your thoughts. "What am I going to do now?" "How do i- I don't know how to-" Who am I without my voice?" "Who's going to love me when I'm like this?" "I'm going to kill Ikaris," "I can't do this,"

Sersi used the UniMind to combine all of your powers to stop the Celestial. You allowed yourself to be taken under. At least it'll distract from thinking about how you're going to live without your voice.

**

"She hasn't came out of her room in days," Kingo says. "We've known each other for millenia. We've had each other's backs since before that. Why is she pushing us away now?" Phastos asks.

"Druig, you know what she's thinking right?" Kingo asks. Druig shakes his head, not wanting to lose your trust anymore than he has.

He leans his head against the palm of his hand. "She lost hope. For millenia, she's had her voice. And now it's been stripped from her." Makkari signs.

Phastos runs a hand over his face. You loved to sing. It's how you expressed if you were happy or even if you were nervous.

He loved his son as much as you loved to sing. If he lost him, he would have followed Ikaris into the sun. He couldn't imagine it. He looked over to the room and everyone else followed his gaze. "How do you let her know that we're here?" Phastos asks.

"Check in on her every once in a while. You all have lives to get back to. We've got her." Makkari signs, referencing to her and Druig. "We can't just leave her like this," Kingo says. "She's right. All of you trying to get her to open up will only intimidate her even more." Druig finally speaks.

"But what if she doesn't get out of this." Kingo asks. "We're here to make sure she does," Makkari explains. Phastos hesitantly stands and says, "Make sure to tell her that I'm one phone call away." Makkari nods. Kingo also stands and follows Phastos to the door.

When they open the door, they see Sersi raising her hand to knock. "Bad timing," Phastos says, pushing passed her. Tears formed in Sersi's eyes. "I'm so sorry," she croaks. Kingo sighs and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Just give her time. She's processing."

"I just want her to know that she'll always be my family and that I never wanted to choose sides." Sersi says, her voice weighted. Druig abruptly stands from the couch and was in her face in an instant.

"You don't get to come here and ask for forgiveness when she barely spoke a word to me for days. The love of my life is mute because your boyfriend went rogue." Druig snaps.

"You should go. All of you." Makkari states. "I'm not going anywhere," Druig tells her. "You're no use to her like this. I understand why you're angry, but she doesn't need that right now." Kingo leads Sersi back to the elevator where she came and Druig left down the stairs.

You heard the entire thing from the other side of the door. You slide down the door and rested your face into your lap as your body shook. You tore your own family apart.

--

Makkari was out buying groceries, leaving Druig to keep an eye on you. "Why are you still here?" You ask in your mind, knowing that he was listening. "What do you mean, my love?" "I'm broken. Faulty. I'm not special anymore."

"Please tell me you don't actually believe that?" "You told me that my voice brought you back home," "You are my home. With or without your voice, Y/N."

"Don't you get it! I'm giving you an out! I'm giving you a chance to move on and find someone better." "Open the door, my love." He calmly says through the door.

"Stop calling me that," "Open the door," he repeats. "Why?" "So I can be there you. Please just let me be there for you, my love." "Stop!" "I won't unless you open the door." "Just please go," "I love you," "Druig-" "I love you. I love you. I love you. I lo-"

The door swings open and you push at his chest angrily. "Why do you love me? I'm broken! What are you, blind?!" Your eyes and nose were rubbed raw from the tissues you went through. You felt disgusting. You're more of a burden now than you've ever been.

"Beautiful," he says with a smile when he caresses your cheek bone with his thumb. You push him again, fuming with anger. You don't understand why he won't leave you alone. "Because I love you," before you push him again, he grabs your arms and pulls you close for a kiss.

"I will always love you," he says pulling away from your lips and resting his forehead against yours. Trailing the tip of his nose along the base of yours. "Why?"

"Because you're perfect for me," "My love," he adds and your eyes snap to his. "And I'm not going anywhere until you realize that so you're stuck with me."

Your body melted into his and buried your face into his chest. He lets go of your arms and wraps his arms around your trembling frame.

"I found the perfect song for us. Tell me what you think," He pulls out his phone and clicks on YouTube. "Japanese Denim" by Daniel Caesar was on the title and the melody was soft and slow. You liked it.

"You like it?" He asks and you nod. He puts the phone into his back pocket before taking you in his arms and swaying side to side. "We'll figure this out together," he adds after few moments of comfortable silence.

The door opens and Makkari beams with excitement. "Finally!" She sigh after she sets down the groceries.

Our love | Drukkari

Pairing: Drukkari x reader

Gender neutral reader

Requested by anon

It was something they had wanted from the start, but didn't know if it was something you wanted.

Makkari and Druig always had this special bond. A love that meant more than anything, but they had more to give, and it was reserved. Reserved for you.

However, you were so distant.

Makkari had spent countless days over the years watching you with a yearning desire. Druig would always be there to calm her racing mind when her emotions became too much.

I want them. So much.

Druig kisses her forehead and closes his eyes.

"Me too."

Druig watched you. You, with your warm heart and wonderful mind. You, with your brilliant smile and sunny attitude. You, who made everyone feel welcome and loved.

He loves you. Dearly.

Makkari loves you. So very very much.

They want to show you, but you remain so far away. You keep them at them at arms length, always polite, but never letting them in too close.

They yearn for you on the daily.

I wish they would let us in.

Druig nods subtly, hoping that maybe he can show what they're feeling. If you really don't feel the same way, then he will make sure you know that's OK, they just really had to tell you.

You see them holding hands, hugging, kissing, laughing, smiling, talking. They have something you wish you had, but cannot.

Makkari and Druig were practically made for one another. Their bond was unlike anything you had ever seen among humans. You would go as far as to say they're soulmates. They're the definition of the word.

Everytime you saw them being cute and showing their love for one another, your heart broke a little more.

There came a point where Ajak had begun notice something was bothering you. Her heart broke at the thought of something was destroying you from within, and you felt like you couldn't talk about it.

She wouldn't have that. If there was on person amy of the Eternals could go to, it was Ajak.

The leader, and mother figure of the group, approached you while you were alone. You were sitting by yourself, far from the view of the others. She had come looking for you purposely.

Especially after seeing what Makkari was signing to her beloved Druig. They were worried about you. They were missing you. They wanted you.

Ajak sits beside you, her body facing you, and tilts her head to the side to try and get into your view. You didn't give in and kept your eyes low. Ajak reached out gently and cupped your chin with her fingers, lifting your head up.

You met her gaze.

"Talk to me," she says.

You sigh and sit back, turning your eyes off to the distance, but keeping your head held up high. You would confide in her because you knew you could trust her. Ajak looked out for everyone.

"I'm in love."

Ajak's expression does not change. There is no malice, no pity, no concern, no confusion. She is simply listening. That settles you. Ajak is just listening, and that's all you need.

"I'm in love with Makkari and Druig. Equally. Entirely. They make my heart feel warm. Their presence soothes me. They smile at me, but I have to look away. They have something I haven't seen before, not even with Sersi and Ikaris. Their bond is eternal and made just for them. I don't want to ruin it because I want them so much."

Ajak places her hand over yours and holds it. She soothes you with touch as you both sit there. You can't stop yourself from shedding a tear.

Druig hadn't meant to eavesdrop. He done listening to Kingo and wanted some quiet. He had seen Ajak leave the group a short while ago, and decided it was his turn to go. However, when he heard you, he had to stop.

"I'm in love."

He stopped and listened. You were in love? With who? Who had earned your love so much they had taken you from their grasp. Makkari would be devastated.

He had to listen now.

"I'm in love with Makkari and Druig."

Druig swears his heart stopped working. He wanted so desperately to walk away and tell Makkari they had a chance. That you weren't avoiding them because you disliked them, as they had come to believe.

Why were you pushing them away though? Why wouldn't you let them in of you loved them so dearly?

Then he heard what you said to Ajak.

His heart broke. He was certain he felt it. You felt like you would be in the way? That you would ruin what they had?

No. No way. You would only make it better. All that love they were bottling up for you, they would be able to share it. They could show you just how special and important you are to them.

Druig doesn't hear anything that happens next. He turns on his heel and rushes back to find Makkari. He as to tell her everything.

Ajak wipes the tear that falls and moves closer so she can hold you. Your whole body falls against her and Ajak comforts you with soft words and a hug.

She thinks back to earlier when she saw Makkari and Druig. Makkari was signing to Druig quickly, clearly in slight distress. Ajak was able to pick up some of the conversation.

I want to tell them.

I know, me too. Druig replied.

I haven't seen them all day. Are they alright?

I don't know.

Makkari seems to slump her shoulders.

We should tell them.

Makkari looks up when she sees Druig come over to her in a rush. She looks at him with confusion.

Are you OK?

Druig reaches out and takes her hands in his. He pulls her up to her feet and rests his forehead against hers. He's smiling widely.

She smiles back, but she's still confused.

What is it? She asks, once she gets her hands back.

They love us!

She stares at him.

What?

They love us! They told Ajak they love us!

Makkari's smile grows as she let's those words sink in. He was definitely talking about you. She felt so happy and whole!

Makkari pulls Druig into a hug.

You leave Ajak feeling a like a weight had been lifted. You take a deep breath and try to keep your head up high as you want to return to the Domo and keep to yourself.

You don't get very far.

Before you know it, you're swept off your feet and travelling at high speeds that only one person you knew could reach. Suddenly, you stop. You have to lean over and try to calm yourself.

"I'm going to be sick..."

Makkari feels bad, but she had to get you somehow. She waits until you're feeling better before initiating anything. You stand up properly and look at her. Druig stands beside her, smiling at you.

"A little warning next time?"

Druig chuckles.

"Next time Makkari will greet you with a kiss if you like."

You stare at him.

Makkari grins and walks over to you. You eye her suspiciously.

"What?"

She leans in and kisses your cheek.

You swear you could die.

Druig laughs and comes closer to you.

"I'm lost..."

"You don't have to be anymore. Let us in. Let us love you," he whispers.

"You know?"

Makkari smiles at you.

He heard you talking to Ajak. We love you too. Please don't push is away.

You could cry again.

You hold onto Makkari as she hugs you again. Druig kisses you both on the head and wraps his arms around you both.

You felt so happy. So alive. So loved.

A love that will still burn thousands of years from now.

Hiiii! Could I request a sersi x reader with a witch girlfriend/partner? Kind of like agatha harkness vibes if that makes sense like her magic is purple or something like that like maybe a salem! Witch reader

Hope that's okay! And one with thena too?

When You Have Powers

Can you believe that I still haven't watched WandaVision? 💀 I didn't want to spoil myself whilst researching about Agatha Harkness, so I went with Wanda's powers here. hope you don't mind that!

btw, since you didn't specify the format of your request, I did a reaction instead. (i tried to write for Ajak and Makkari as well this time.)

Sersi:

She'd be in awe when you first revealed your powers.

The way your hands glided around, fingers dancing to the subsequent flow of purple in such grace.

Sersi would behold your act as your arms began to tremble from the nervousness.

Wh—What do you think?

I think it's beautiful. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me.

Thena:

You'd finally convince her to spar with you.

Thena would be afraid of injuring or even killing you if her Mahd W'yry took control.

So she insisted that Gilgamesh must be watching over you two during your sparring.

Even though she'd go easy on you, you were still grateful to be able to train with the woman you loved.

My love, remember. If anything happens to me, use your powers.

It's okay, Thena. You're gonna be alright.

Ajak:

She'd be fascinated by your powers. Despite living millions of years, there was something about your abilities. Something special she couldn't place.

Ajak would definitely take you under her wing, attempting to help you control and bring them to their fullest potential..

She'd be so proud of every progress you'd made, no matter how minor or significant.

You did so well today, I'm so proud of you, sweetheart.

Makkari:

Partners in crime, ykwim?

She'd be captivated by your powers and often asked if you could perform one of those tricks again.

Combining her speed with your abilities? Total chaos.

The Eternals were lowkey frightened to be in a room with you two, especially when y'all were toying around with your powers.

But they liked you though, you were there to put a smile on Makkari's face when they couldn't.

Do you wanna try sparring with our powers? –You

Absolutely not! -The others.

WIP Series Masterlist

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10

Part 7: The World Keeps Turning

Y/N didn't really listen or help Sersi explain to Dane that they have powers because they are Eternals from the planet Olympia and have been on Earth for over 7,000 years, fighting Deviants. Until 5 centuries ago. He learned more about Sersi and Ikaris but the main thing was that Dane accepted her explanation and reasoning far better than Marc had. Y/N didn't miss the sad look they both gave her. 

"He'll come around, probably just the shock of it all," Dane tells her.

"You handled it alright, and you don't have a centuries-old Egyptian god in your brain. Moon Knight does. They even know about some of my powers. I told them when they told me about their personalities, though they conveniently left out Khonshu. It was Truth for Truth. The full story wasn't my story to tell. Doing so might have raised questions about Sersi and Sprite. That wouldn't be fair to them or you, but I guess that doesn't matter." She sighs. "I'm glad you don't hate us. I hate to do this but can I ask you a favor? Can you watch Noob and maybe feed Bas until we get back? I would ask Steven, but even if he would talk to me, I don't think Marc would let him."

"Of course," he nods.

"Thanks, Dane, I owe you one."

"You guys saved my life and a lot of other people, the least I can do is pet sit."

"Least you can do is nothing, but I appreciate it. I know you'll be kind to them. Sorry, I can't make you a giraffe either, but I can say if you ever need anything." She takes the feather keychain off her keys and holds it in her hands, imbuing it with a tiny fraction of her powers before handing it to him. "If something really bad happens. Hold it to your heart and I will hear it. We may not have cell signal, but as long as I’m on this planet it’ll work. It works for Osiris and he’s in the underworld, it should work for you."

"Osiris? Like the Egyptian god of the Dead? He has a direct line to you? Does your family?" 

"Osiris does, my family doesn't. Sadly, I cannot feel the Eternals like I can humans. I think Arishem thinks that would be a distraction. But humans, like you, I can hear. And you, you have a good heart Dane, that's why we know we can trust you with all of this. I don't even need my scales to know your heart balances. Sersi wouldn't be with you if it didn't. Take care of yourself." 

She moves to join Sprite while Sersi says her own goodbye.

Y/N was physically sore and absolutely exhausted on the flight to the States. The only thing giving her comfort was being surrounded by so many human hearts. She reached out just a bit with her powers to feel them. She focuses on one of a child, a young girl, that seems to be enjoying a show on a tablet. An innocent and pure heart full of joy. It reminds her that humans were worth fighting for. That little girl had so much life ahead of her. As upset and sad as Y/N might be, knowing innocence and good still existed even after so many years without the Eternals' assistance was comforting. It was a constant that she could always rely on.

"You okay?" Sersi asks, drawing her attention back. 

Y/N nods. "I'm fine."

"You should try and sleep," Sersi tells her. "You fought harder than most of us and took most of the hits."

"I'm not that fragile," Y/N assures her.

"No, but we have no idea when we might get the chance to again. Might as well embrace it while we can."

"Point taken," Y/N admits and as she usually does, she takes Sersi's advice.

As they left the airport and headed to their rental car, she pulled out her phone and calls Steven. He doesn't answer. She leaves a voicemail.

“Hey, just landed in the States. We’re headed to Ajak’s place, I’ll call you when we get to her house.”

When Ajak fails to greet them, something instantly feels off. Y/N reaches out but feels nothing. No humans for miles and no apparent threats. What they do find shakes them all. Ajak is dead. Her body was cold, drained of power. Y/N couldn't breathe for a moment. It is too much. They've never lost anyone before. Ajak always healed them. She kept them alive even through the most brutal of battles. Ajak was gone. Their leader was gone. They were on their own. Y/N could feel her hands start to shake. The ache in her knee returned. They were on their own against Deviants stronger than ever and they lost their healer. Ajak had kept them alive and safe for millennia. Now, what were they supposed to do?

Ikaris admits to being the last one to see her. To say that Ajak sent him to London to check on them. But the Deviant must have gotten her before he actually made it to London because as Sprite points out the Deviant healed like Ajak. They now had an enemy that could take their powers. None of them were safe in a fight if that was true. They are all shocked when Sersi tells them the sphere Ajak used to speak with Arishem went to her. That she spoke to Arishem. Ajak chose Sersi to replace her. Not Ikaris, which was surprising. He had always been more of a leader than most of them. He was devoted to the mission Arishem gave them.

Y/N put a hand on Ajak's cold chest. 

"May we meet again in the next life," Y/N says, hoping that no matter what afterlife awaited Eternals they would hopefully be together someday. 

They agreed to gather the rest of the team starting with Kingo.

Ancient Egypt, the beginning of the age of gods.

Y/N places a set of scales before the Ennead in the Chamber of the Gods. 

"Phastos says these scales will allow you to better judge a person's heart, even when I am not here. We formed them using my powers." She takes the large feather that the people had given her long ago because of her wings that she often included in her outfit out of appreciation and holds it tight between her hands, calling on the majority of her power and channeling it into the feather. It made her lightheaded as her hands and the feather began to glow. She wills a fraction of her own heart and powers into it. When she pulls her powers back the feather continues to have a sort of ethereal glow. "This feather," she holds it out to the small cluster of gods before her. "The feather of truth," she deems it. "I've put everything I know, everything I use to aid in judgment, into this feather. Weigh a person's heart against this feather and you will know their true nature, their heart. If it balances, they have a good heart, they deserve to see paradise."

"And they shall see the field of reeds," Osiris assures her.

"And if they don't balance?" Horus asks.

"If the feather rises, and the heart stays weighted down, they have failed. Their heart has shown their true nature, that their heart is filled with malice and should be justly condemned. If the scales move back and forth that means there is conflict in the person's heart. They are not inherently good or bad. They should be given a chance to process this, to look deep within themselves and if they can balance then they have made peace with their conflict. If they can't, they shall face proper justice."

"Justice shall be swift," Osiris adds. 

"You can judge both living and the dead to ensure justice and truth remain standard as time goes on and the kingdom grows. As long as I live, the feather of truth will hold the standards I have deemed fair and just. It is part of me. You have my judgment as long as the smallest spark of my power remains. We are bound, we are one." 

Modern Egyptian Underworld

"They've never done this before." Anubis, Taweret, and Osiris watch the scales shift without anything being weighed against the feather. 

"Keep watch," Osiris commands them. "We will see what Ma'at has to say."

South Dakota, USA

Y/N tries again to call Steven and Marc. 

“Hey, um, so we got to Ajak’s. She…got attacked by a deviant and is…Anyway, we’re flying back out again, probably going to find Kingo. Let me know if you get this, we’re in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m not getting any service.”

As she puts her phone away. She is shocked to see the path to the temple open before her. 

"Sprite!" She calls the younger Eternal.

"Is that what I think it is?" Sprite says as she eyes the long open tunnel. "Tell Sersi I will meet you in Mumbai." Sprite nods.

Modern Egypt: Temple of the Gods

"Osiris," Y/N greets the glowing eyes of the avatar before her. 

"Ma'at," he greets her. "I am sure you are curious why I summoned you."

She sighs, "I have an idea about that and I will share what I know, you only ever have to ask."

"Your scales shifted while not in use. The others are concerned."

"I…I have concerning news for you, Osiris. The deviants have returned, they are stronger, faster and I'm afraid I can no longer guarantee that we, that I, will survive."

"What do you mean?" He asks. "How have you come to this conclusion?"

"One attacked us in London. Ikaris, Sersi, Sprite, and I were unable to kill it. Ikaris and I could only drive it back. The concerning thing is that it healed itself, Osiris. We went to consult Ajak and she was dead. The monster had stolen her powers and in doing so became stronger and harder to fight. In 7,000 years no Eternal has died. I'm afraid the shock may have momentarily shifted and shaken my beliefs. But the scales should be steady now. We are going to gather the rest of the Eternals and return to our mission, losing our healer will not deter us. We shall do our best to remove this threat to humanity. My only request is that should anything happen and my feather fade. Please tell Khonshu that I have failed. He will know why."

"That can be done. We will be observing," Osiris tells her. "Call upon us if you have a need. Isis would be devastated if we lost you, little feather. Your heart beats here. It shall remain protected." 

Mumbai, India

Y/N steps out into the busy streets of the city. She reaches out to feel the hearts around her. Now she had to wait for the rest of the team to get there. She takes out her phone and calls Steven.

"Osiris called me to the temple, my powers wavered after finding Ajak. I filled him in on what was happening. With Ajak gone we…Osiris will let Khonshu know if anything truly bad happens, he told me he would. I'm in India now. I got here before the others because of the temple path. I'll let you know more soon. I really do miss you both."

Before putting her phone away she sent a text to Sersi letting her know that she was in India.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | One Shot: Dear Diary

He had never worked for an apology before. He never had any need to because all of his actions were justified. He followed orders thoroughly and that saved him from ever apologizing. But you, this slip of an angel, you had the guts to ask him to mean his apology, whatever it was. Why you hurt was beyond him and he didn’t want to understand it more. All he had to do, after all, was to work on an apology to you.

Ikaris watched as you interacted with everyone on the flight except for him. He tried inserting himself to any of your conversations and while you were warm with others, you were cold with him. It was difficult to understand you because you would be so caring and open one minute and then you would be unforgiving the next, pun intended.

“No way!” You exclaimed and he looked over to find you talking to Kingo again. You had singled him out throughout the flight, making him stop doing his documentary of the Eternals, and had been talking to him about anything at all that you found interesting. It irked him that you asked for everyone else’s input except for his about Kingo’s movies, even if he had seen them all in support of his friend. It galled him more that you didn’t even once try to approach him again even as he tried apologizing once again.

“Yes, way! Who knew Aishwarya Rai wanted to be in a movie with me!” Kingo exclaimed, which had you giggling again.

Ikaris took to his drink once more, looking anywhere but at you. You’ve called and cussed him out since the moment you two had officially met. As his guardian angel, he was expecting of you to be drawn to him more considering you had sworn to protect him. But instead, your words had maimed and made him doubt himself, he was loathe to admit. If anything, you weren’t protective of him at all, other than that time in South Dakota.

“How does one work for an apology?” he asked Sersi as she sat back beside him.

If there was someone who knew of emotions and empathy, it was Sersi. He trusted Sersi and her judgement. After all, they had been partners for over five thousand years.

“Well,” she said as she buckled herself in her seat. “If we’re talking about Y/N, I would assume she would want for you to be more… feeling towards her.”

“Did that work for you and your human?”

“Dane,” she said. “His name is Dane and no. It’s different for everyone.”

“Different?” He turned to her. “Aren’t they all the same?”

She smiled at him piteously. “You are so out of touch with the world, Ikaris. A lot has changed. We all have changed and you still stay the same.”

“And do you think that’s a bad thing?” He found routine and constancy safe. Anything straying from that felt abnormal.

“There are some good and bad to it. It’s good you remained the same because you’ve always been loyal.”

He nodded. He was loyal to his duty. “And the bad?”

“The bad thing is also the good thing about you. You’re fiercely loyal that sometimes you don’t see anything else beyond your duty.”

He only raised a brow.

“It’s hard to explain but I said what I said. Your loyalty is your strength and your downfall.” She patted his hand.

“How do you apologize to your human?” he asked as he put down his drink.

“Call him Dane, Ikaris. He isn’t some pet and he isn’t mine.” She sighed. “When we apologize, we acknowledge our mistakes. We try to understand where we went wrong then we work on it.”

“But how?”

She was silent for a while. “Well, when I was late for my class one time, I had Dane come and cover for me until I arrived. I made it up to him by treating him out to dinner and also setting my alarm earlier than my usual so I wasn’t late again. It wasn’t a big problem or a fight but I apologized because I was in the wrong. I also find that changed behavior is the best form of apology.”

He only hummed as his eyes went back to you. Kingo was teaching you the dance sequence to one of his movies. He stood behind you as he instructed, holding your hand in his as he put you into position. His other hand went on your hip and that was enough for Ikaris to stand and put an end to it.

“Kingo,” he called as he made his way to you.

Every time he neared you, your power hummed around him. They were like little fires that licked on his skin, whispering when he was far but increasing in intensity when he was with you. He seemed to be the only one having that kind of reaction around you because none of the other Eternals were as electrified with you as he was. You made his skin aflame when you were just there but he felt the fervor of you whenever you looked at him.

“Yeah, boss?” Kingo said.

Ikaris looked at his friend and brought a hand down his shoulder, gently shoving him away from you. “Tell me about this new movie about me.”

Australia was okay for most part. Well, most being the operative word. You were fine with the heat and the climate and the people. Animals? Not so much. Almost anything that wasn’t a pet could potentially injure you. You had your wings out in case you needed a bit of lifting from the ground. You didn’t really do well with snakes and scorpions and whatever small creepy crawlies that escaped from Satan’s desktop aquarium.

“Is this the Deviant you found in London?” Kingo asked.

Thena and Gilgamesh settled in an arid place. Not much creature, save for some lost scorpions and maybe a snake or two. There were lots of unusual things strewn about the place that even the dead Deviant didn’t seem abnormal. If they were going for the post-apocalyptic vibe, they definitely got it down pat, you thought to yourself.

“No, it’s different,” Sprite said as she kicked the felled creature in the snout. “This looks uglier.”

“There must more out there than we thought,” Ikaris said as he walked ahead of your small group.

“Is this a Deviant, sir?” You heard Karun ask from behind you.

You had taken your spot behind Ikaris, powers at the ready for any lurking Deviants. Kingo was a great fighter but if he was busy with his documentary, the next best thing was you to defend Sersi and Sprite.

Kingo had started talking again, working on his documentary and you grinned despite the situation you were in. He was absolutely fun to talk to. He alleviated most of the heavy situations with his quips and he was much easier to be around with. Sure, he was a bit shallow but it was only because he was a superstar. You’ve learned on your way here that he was more than just the glitz and glamor of Bollywood. He cared for his co-stars and the extras of his new movie. He was almost like a philanthropist in that sense, making sure that the people who worked with and under him had pay before he left them to go do his other thing: being a bad ass Eternal.

Ikaris, however, you’ve ignored for most of the trip. You refused to notice the way you were drawn to him despite being angry at him. Maybe not angry. Just… disappointed. You knew he was a soldier and he was rigid as hell but you never expected the coldness in him after watching him for so long. And it was so contradictory because he appeared cool and uncaring to you but the way you were drawn to him was like a moth to a flame. You felt warm and tingly and you didn’t miss how your stomach fluttered whenever you catch him looking at you or calling your attention. The last time you felt this way, the effect had been near disastrous for you.

Ikaris knocked on the door just as Kingo called out his friend’s name with a flourish. He tried once again before the door opened.

And Gilgamesh, the most powerful of all the Eternals, stepped out in a dirtied apron.

He still looked big and formidable like always but seeing him in this state was comforting. He exuded that aura of protection that even you, an angel who people sought out for comfort, were soothed.

“What took you so long?” he said by way of greeting. When he saw the camera Karun was holding, he waved a hand away as if to swat it from him. You stepped aside, closer to Sersi so as not to be in his way.

“You look younger today, Sprite,” Gilgamesh said, as he wandered over to his outdoor oven. Whatever it was he was cooking smelt delicious.

“I have the same apron,” Karun said as he followed the mighty Eternal to the kitchen.

“Who the hell are you?” he asked as he checked on a pot.

“I’m Karun,” the stout man said with an easy smile. “I’m Kingo’s valet.”

“Oh, a val-ey, like Alfred in Batman!” Gilgamesh said with a grin.

“Gilgamesh,” Ikaris said in his no-nonsense tone. “The Deviants are back.”

“Yeah, no shit.” He said and you grinned. You knew you and the warrior would get along pretty well. “I could have used some help.”

“We were attacked by a Deviant in London,” Sprite said.

“Us too, in South Dakota.” You piped up. “We had two.”

“Who’s that? A new Eternal?” Gilgamesh asked and you stepped into his view.

“No. I’m an an—”

“Angel,” he said with awe.

You smiled. “Call me Y/N. I’m Ikaris’s guardian angel. Angel feels like a nickname.” You held out your hand to him and he shook it.

“You can see her wings?” Sprite asked.

You raised an eyebrow, not realizing immediately that he called you for what you were.

“I’ve never seen anything whiter than snow.” He moved to touch your wing.

“Don’t touch her wing, Gil,” Ikaris warned frostily. You only raised your brow at his tone.

Gilgamesh looked at you before drawing back. “Sorry. I thought angels were fictional.”

“So were superheroes but here you all are,” you said easily. “And it’s fine. I know you won’t hurt me.” You reached out your wing to his hand, gently tapping it. When he opened it, you tapped at his palm with a feather. The way he grinned at the contact made you smile. He looked like a kid at Christmas.

“I’m sorry, Gil,” Ikaris said from behind you. “Ajak’s dead.”

Gil drew back from you, looking at his friends, unbelieving. “What?”

“It’s true, buddy. We lost her,” Sprite said.

Gil frowned as he sat on the chair, burying his face in his hands. You touched his shoulder lightly, infusing your calming power to him. You squatted beside him, face near his.

“Even in her death, she spoke of her family.” You told him. He looked at you. “I was there when she died. All she wanted was for all of you to find each other and keep each other safe.”

He peeked at you and you smiled softly at him. “I’ll keep all of you safe if I have to.” You promised him.

He bobbed his head in acknowledgement. “Thank you, Y/N. I have to tell Thena.”

You moved aside from him as he stood and made his way to the lone standing tree in the land. There was a small lump of white at the base of it and when you walked closer, you saw that it was Thena crouched before the tree. Her hands were moving erratically across the papers.

“Stay back. The attack triggered her. She’s no fun to be around with right now.” Gil said as he led your group to the other warrior.

“Hey, Thena,” Gil called out. “Look who’s here. Give me your hand.”

You heard the whirring of powers before she even turned around. You stood in front of Ikaris and held out your hands, a force field shielding you and the people behind you from an incoming attack. You had seen Thena in combat. She yielded her weapons out of thin air and each one had been different for every attack. The best you could do was only to parry without causing injury to her. She already looked fragile. There was no need to further hurt her.

Gil only held out his arm to shield the mystical weapon. Thena’s eyes were completely white, like they had been possessed.

“Everyone in Centauri-6 is going to die,” she said.

Or haunted by a memory.

“It’s too late.” She said with a tone of regret and pain. “We can’t save them.”

It was definitely a memory of a sort. No one seemed to notice it but you knew. You knew what it was to be haunted by memories of the past. You had to help her in any way you can.

Suddenly, the environment started to change. You were enclosed in a lair of sorts, dark and robotic. In the middle of it stood a sculpture of a being. It looked otherworldly in this place but the Eternals looked right at home. Sprite’s illusion started to dance in the air around you.

“Thena, we came to Earth together on our ship. You’re an Eternal, the greatest warrior in Olympia, the legendary protector of Athens. The goddess of War.” Sprite said.

The illusions changed into Thena fighting a Deviant. You watched her prowess with admiration, even if it was just from Sprite’s imagery.

“Remember who you are,” Sprite said.

You lowered your shield as you saw Thena draw back her weapon.

Gil reached out again. “Remember,” he said as he intertwined their hands together.

Sprite drew back the illusion and you were once again back in the Devil’s backyard that is Australia. Somehow, you liked the illusion better even if it was dark.

Thena pried her eyes away from the warrior and when they landed on you, she tilted her head to the side. “Hello,” she called out.

You waved. “Hello, Thena. My name is Y/N.”

She pulled away from Gil and walked over to you. Her eyes roamed over your wings before landing back to yours. “Why are you here?”

“I’m Ikaris’s guardian angel.” You told her. You looked up at her eyes and held out your hand to her. “What happened to you?”

“She has Mahd Wy’ry.” Gil supplied from beside you.

“What’s that?” You asked.

“Her mind is fractured. She suffers from the weight of her memories.” he told you.

You nodded and looked at the goddess. “Tell me about Centauri-6. What happened?”

“Y/N—”

There was whirring once more and Thena produced another weapon, drawing back to hit you. You only raised your hand and summoned a shield to block her.

Her weapon broke through your barrier and you drew back, summoning your power to your fingertips. Thena came at you again, changing her weapon for a mace. When she moved to attack, you grabbed her wrist and passed your power to her.

“I’m not going to hurt you, Thena.” You said as calmly as you can. You held firm as she tried to wiggle away.

Mahd Wy’ry. Thena was sick. Gilgamesh had done a great job at keeping her sane but she needed someone to talk to. Someone who was willing to listen to her memories. From the looks of it, they weren’t ready for whatever it was she wanted to say. They were only keeping her from fully realizing her memories. You felt like you were the only objective one.

“Y/N,” you heard Ikaris say from behind you and you only shook your head. “Thena will—”

“No. Thena won’t. I’m not a threat.” You kept your eyes to the warrior. You gestured to yourself with your free hand. “I’m not a threat.” As if to show that you come in peace, you let go of her wrist and held your palms out to her.

“We’ll talk in private if you don’t want them to hear.” You told her gently. “I won’t hurt you even if you hurt me.”

“I don’t think that’s wise, Y/N,” Kingo told you.

“I’ll take the chance,” you called out.

Something shifted in Thena’s eyes and she changed back, looking at you now with her brown gaze. “Gilgamesh took the chance on me so I can keep my memories.” She said and looked at the other warrior on your right-hand side and smiled.

“Then you should know you could trust me.” You held out your hand to her again. “If I ever become a threat to you, just aim for my wings to cripple or kill me.” As if to make a point, you unfurled your wings wider to her. The dust swirled around your feet at the action.

“Y/N,” there was a warning tone to Ikaris’s voice. You ignored him.

“Gilgamesh? Do you think you can find something to do with the others while I talk with Thena?” You turned to the other Eternal, who watched you with respect for your bravery.

“Of course.” He nodded to you and then turned to the others. “Let’s go.”

Ikaris watched you from his seat at the table. You and Thena had returned after being gone for a while, talking about whatever it was the Mahd Wy’ry had wormed into her head. Ajak had told them it was the weight of her memories that her mind cannot handle. The only solution for it was to have her memory wiped but she had refused.

You and Thena had struck up a different kind of camaraderie after your conversation. He had been ready to step in when he saw the way Thena moved to attack you but you stood your ground. Gilgamesh had been the only strong one to elude her attacks but the way you calmly talked to her proved otherwise. There was something about you that brought a tranquility to everyone, excluding him. You only brought uproar in him.

“Is this what you guys eat everyday?” Kingo asked as he passed around the platter of beef. “This is amazing.”

“Thank you for this,” Ikaris said to Gil as he looked at his friend.

“You’re welcome. Help yourselves,” Gil replied and walked over to you, who had brought out the pie that was still baking when they started to eat. “Y/N, let me take care of serving. You have a seat.”

Sersi cleared her throat and Ikaris looked at her, watching as she gestured discreetly to you. He looked at you once again before clearing his own throat.

“Y/N. Have a seat.” He said as you turned to him at the mention of your name.

“Yeah, Y/N. I have a spot here for you,” Kingo said and he moved to make room for you beside him.

Ikaris speared his friend a glance. If Kingo were to always intervene, he wouldn’t have the chance to apologize. He was going to tell him off when Thena came and sat on that space. The only available space was the one between him and Sprite and he moved to make it bigger for you to move into.

Gil brought over a pitcher, claiming it was a drink worthy of the soldiers of the battle of Troy and placed it down in front of Karun.

“Should she be drinking?” Kingo asked as he looked at Thena.

Ikaris poured more of the drink in another cup and passed it to you. You looked up at him in surprise before you mouth twisted in a smile. He found himself looking at your lips for longer than the usual.

“You know,” you said as you took the drink from his hand. There were invisible sparks when your fingers touched his and he felt them all over his body. “You look good without the asshole shtick.”

“Y/N makes you more bearable,” Thena commented as she chewed on her meat.

The grin you gave the goddess warrior turned his wine sweet on his lips. “I keep him in line.” You said and looked at him as you drank.

He took a deep breath before turning away, balling his other fist under the table. There were some gibes at Sprite because whatever Gilgamesh said made her turn his clothes into that of a big baby. The table laughed when they saw and he watched the way you chuckled. There was something about the way you viewed the world. It wasn’t that he did not find Sprite’s prank funny but it was how you did. Every little thing for you mattered.

“Now that Captain Rogers and Iron Man are both gone, who do you think’s gonna lead the Avengers?” Sprite asked.

“I could lead them,” he said as he speared his food. “I figured I’d be good at that.”

“Sure, and give me a hard time catching up with you to keep you safe,” you snorted. “I better be paid for overtime.”

Everyone chuckled at you. You only raised your eyebrow at him in challenge.

“Ajak didn’t even ask you to lead us,” added Gil and the table erupted into noises of dissent. You were the only one who gave the warrior Eternal a fist bump.

“Ouch,” Ikaris said. “I’m going to let that one slide.”

A chair scraped against the floor and he looked over to see Sersi head for the door.

“Where are you going?” he asked. He felt you rise beside him but Gilgamesh pushed you back down on your seat.

“I just need some air,” Sersi said before leaving.

He knew better than to follow her. Sersi had chosen by Ajak as her successor as the Prime Eternal and he knew it must have been a daunting task for someone like her. He was a natural leader and Sersi wasn’t. He knew she was just coming into terms with her new assignment.

“This is really good, Gil,” Kingo said and everyone turned to him. “I could just paste my face in a bottle of this and you can sell some units.”

“Thank you. I chewed every single corn kernel and fermented it in my spit.” Gil said, proud.

You choked beside him and he looked over at you. Kingo spit back his on his mug.

“I mean, whatever works, right?” You remarked as you wiped your mouth dry. “Pretty good stuff, Gil.”

When the feast was done, you took it to yourself to fix and clean the plates. Kingo offered to help you—Karun insisted because empathy looked good on camera—but Ikaris had told him he would instead.

Changed behavior is the best form of apology, Sersi told him. If he wanted to properly apologize to you, he would have to get down from his proverbial high horse as you so eloquently put it and see the world as how you do.

“Have you ever done the dishes before?” You asked as you brought the dirtied dishes to the sink. “Because if you’re just going to mess up, I’d be cleaning twice more.”

“I thought you watched over me,” he stood beside you and took the dish towel.

“Dude, you’re not my 24/7 job.” You started scrubbing. “Technically, you are, but I need a life too.”

He only hummed and wiped down the plate you washed.

“If this is tedious for you, just go.” You said after a while.

“Why do you make it so hard for me to apologize?”

“Oh, this is you apologizing? I thought this was you showing basic human decency.” You passed a mug to him.

“I’m not human.”

“So am I but it’s hard to tell difference, no?” You washed. “Why do you think this is the best way to apologize?”

“How else do you want me to?”

“If I tell you, would that count as apologizing still?” You sighed. “Tell me, Ikaris.”

He turned his body to you, looking at your face. In the faint light of the setting Australian sun, you looked ethereal.

“Tell me why you can’t mix emotions and your duties.” You closed the tap and turned to him. “Sersi can. The others looked like they could. Why can’t you?”

He reached towards your cheek to push your hair away from your face. He saw the way your pupils dilated and he was sure he had the same reaction.

“It complicates matters,” he said.

“I don’t think it does.” You uttered. “If anything, it would make things clearer. You know what you’re fighting for.”

“Okay. If that’s what you think, is it working for you? Is it hard to be my angel when you so clearly loathe to be around me?”

You raised a delicate brow. “I wonder why that is,” you said coyly and smiled.

He felt himself smile with you.

“I don’t loathe you, Ikaris. I don’t even hate you.” You stepped closer to him, looking up at his eyes. “I pity you.”

“Pity me?”

You brought a finger to his chest and jabbed it at where his heart was. It sent a current across his body. “I pity this heart that refuses to feel.” You placed your palm against it. “You say you do but I don’t think you know how it truly is. I’m sure you love Sersi and had been in love with her for thousands of years but she’s moved on.”

He placed his hand on top of yours and looked down at you.

“You’re allowed to feel pain and anger and regret and love. No one will call you out for it.” You took a deep breath, your chest rising and he became hyperaware of how close you were to him.

“When you feel, it will set you free.”

Ikaris felt himself leaning towards you, watching your eyes as his head bent down closer to yours. You rose up to meet him halfway. So close that he was about to lay his lips on yours when Gilgamesh entered the kitchen.

“We need to talk. Sersi just spoke with Arishem.”

# pranking the eternals (it doesn't end well) 🍨

━ pairings: eternals x reader

━ genre(s): fluff, random blurbs

━ warnings: none! prolly some muses being out of character? but yeah

━ words: 0.7

━ notes: in celebration of April Fool's, I wrote this silly little thing at 2 am when I should definitely be in bed <3 As always, like, reblogs, and comments are highly appreciated ! and yes, requests are OPEN

THENA

Trying to trick the goddess of war is like poking a hornet’s nest with a stick and hoping for the best - it won’t end well !

And mainly because you don’t know if it's something you should be doing when the poor woman is already suffering from Mahd Wr’ry

But you wanted to include her, to at least take her mind off her worries. Maybe as long as it is harmless (and wholesome) then it’s okay, right?

“Thena! I can talk to animals!” You tell her one day, holding a small bird in your hand. “I just heard this bird talk to me, I promise”

Thena turns to face you, confused but also intrigued. “Really? What did the little one say?”

“Well, it said that–” as if on cue, the bird chirped. “That you are the most lovely, wonderful, and awe-inspiring person in the universe.” You leaned closer to her, “And that… you are fiercely loyal and protective to your loved ones,”

Thena couldn’t help but smile at your antics. She thinks it's really endearing. “How awfully observant of the little one, no? I believe that we should keep them around,” she leans forward and places a peck at the corner of your lips. “Thank you, dearest. I think that’s rather lovely of you.”

She never lets you live it down (but you don't mind <3)

DRUIG

Local Menace™

He says he doesn’t want to participate but the mischievous look in his eyes says otherwise

You trust him very much with your life, you really do but the way he has been touchy the entire day? constantly being around in your presence? The other Eternals trying to keep themselves from laughing whenever they see you? Certainly not suspicious actions

You tried to approach Sersi once to ask something before Druig appeared at your side, almost scaring the wits out of you

You confront him on what he’s doing and this man basically goes: “I’m not doing anything. Maybe you’re imagining things, love” before tugging you someplace private

Okay, maybe his idea of ‘pranks’ is spreading an obscene amount of time with you - and maybe, just maybe, you don’t mind it at all.

SPRITE

A full-on prank war, no one is spared. It’s either you two are fighting against each other or trying to cause minor inconveniences towards EVERYONE

god forbid anyone who gets caught in the line of fire - Kingo tried to intervene once and he ended up with his hair green for an entire month;

The pranks include: moving other people’s stuff someplace else, putting hair dye (temporary ones) in shampoos, putting obscene amounts of salt in whatever Gilgamesh is cooking - the normal stuff

Whoever manages to trick each other most wins. The prize? Doing whatever the other says, of course!

It’s childish and ridiculous but Sprite has a lot of fun doing it with you, just don’t take it personally if she wins :D

MAKKARI

Your resident partner in crime, is literally the best person to team up with

Oh, you need help with distracting Druig while you steal a pair of his socks? She's on it !

Now you need help with running and hiding from an obviously annoyed Druig who is demanding for his socks? Makkari is on call !

Creates a secret sign-language system that only the two of you can understand so that when you’re shit-talking about someone else, they won’t know that you’re talking about them!

No one has picked up on it as of yet, which is a benefit for the two of you !

The reason why you teamed up with her was that pranking Makarri is near impossible - you can't even breathe in her direction without her knowing! So, why beat them when you can join them?

KINGO

He’s just so confused. Kingo loves you the way that you are, but sometimes he just questions how much he loves you

Walked into the kitchen one day and almost cried when he saw that you were boiling your cereal

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“Oh, good morning, Kingo! Just boiling my cereal, didn’t like the milk being too cold”

“(Y/N) I love you but if you keep doing this I’m just going to break up with you–”

He gets his revenge by taking horrendous photographs of you when you’re asleep, hair askew in different directions, drool and all - and uses it as his wallpaper.

No, you may not change it - it’s his payback after you basically terrorized your cereal earlier D:

It was a wonder that the famous Druig of the Eternals was capable of love. He never once showed any interest in anyone in his 7,000+ years of living, that was until he met you. Living in the same neighborhood as Phastos, he quickly introduced you to the rest of his friends, well family. He trusted you with his life after you saved his son and husband when he was out of town. It didn't surprise him you were an ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, made perfect sense actually.

When meeting the rest of the group you got along with pretty much everyone. Some took more time than the others but it was like you were a part of the family after getting used to everyone. They made sure to remind you of that.

Ajak immediately welcomed you with open arms along with Sersi and Makkari. Kingo was drawn to you because you recognized him from his movies making his head bigger. Gilgamesh simply adored you like a big brother, making you try loads of recipes. Thena had respect for you seeing the way you fought which was the best compliment comping from her. Ikaris and Sprite were just themselves, they were neutral about you as they were the ones it took some time to be comfortable around.

They never treated you like you were below them, honestly, they were scared of you the first time hearing about you from Phastos. That was not likely, you never believed it when they told you that.

There was one person who was an oddball to you, Druig. It took a while just to start a conversation with him, more than Sprite but not as long as Ikaris. It took a while for you guys to be friends but once you did, it was like you were inseparable. That man was by your side for everything and you with him. A night in when you were feeling down, the day before a random mission you needed to go on, or just because you wanted him to experience something mundane instead of spending all his time in the Amazon or in Phastos's house when he would come to the states. That is what the two of you were currently doing, something mundane in his eyes.

"I promise you it will be really fun. It's my favorite thing to do when I'm free. Probably where all my money goes."

"You and I have different definitions of fun."

"Oh come on. I thought we would do a few things I liked to do. I spent 4 months in the Amazon for you, the only thing I'm asking for you is to do this." You begged. You didn't need to beg to get your way, he just liked having fun and messing with you. Although you didn't know that at the time.

"Why don't I get us some snacks while you find the seats huh." He said with a small smile whipping away your frown replacing it with the smile he adored.

"Anyone tell you that you're the best?"

"I think only you tell me that beautiful, but that's the only voice that matters to me." He said with a wink before making his way through the crowd to get them some snacks. You didn't move right away being frozen in your tracks. That was new but it wasn't something you were going to complain about.

Throughout the hockey game, he couldn't help but smile the whole time. He has never seen you this passionate about anything before. He listened every time you were explaining what was going on, rubbing your back when you would get mad at the ref for making a bad call or not calling an obvious call. He found it amusing how much you loved the sport and saw why you only came to visit him during "off-season." Maybe it wouldn't be that bad to have sports in his life, it was an excuse to see you more.

"Tell me not that was amazing right. I remember my first game. I brought a nosebleed ticket and sneaked throughout the whole arena to get to a better view. I was bound to be an agent." You joked making him laugh.

"I do see why you like it and I was thinking of getting a t.v. for home. So I can learn more about it and maybe convince you to visit me more."

"No your not. Your joking right."

"I'll have Phastos figure it out. Technology confuses me." He shrugged like it was no big deal, he was hoping you wouldn't think that it was weird. He just wanted to see you more often.

"You surprise me every day. Are you sure you can handle that every week? I haven't even taken you to a football game."

"I can handle whatever you throw at me beautiful."

"Well, it looks like I might give a bit more of my time to visiting the Amazon." You smirked as you placed a kiss on his cheek before continuing to walk. Now he was left frozen with a smile as he watched your figure move away from him.

[omegas-spaghettios]

Gil and Thena are very clearly in love to me, at least Gil is, but because it is not traditional movie love I don't think people see it

(Besides the fact that their first appearance is a traditional courting display)

Now I'm not saying that I am the Arbiter of romance, you can see whatever you want in them. My point is less about starting arguments and more a discussion on how love is portrayed.

Ikaris and Sersi have sex to show their love, Druig and Makkari are very flattering in their words and they rub their foreheads together, Phastos and Ben have a family and share a kiss.

Now that isn't bad! ESPECIALLY in Phastos' case. But what I'm getting at is that physical displays or flattering, flirty words are not the only way love is. That CAN be love, but it isn't exclusively love.

We tend to think that romantic love is sealed by physical attraction. Our society, at least in the states, has built up this idea that physical intimacy = romance. But that isn't the case at all.

You can romantically love someone with all your heart and not be physical, you can love somebody without big, fluffy displays of words. Love is just as much about devotion and being there for each other as any of that.

I adore kisses, words of love, physical affection, all of it from my partner. It does make me feel loved! But other displays of love honestly are longer lasting. My partner makes me feel safe, they help me when they can and I need it, they provide support and i try to reciprocate. When I was having a hard night and I contacted them in their free time and they immediately came over to stay the night to help? That is probably one of the biggest gestures of love that I remember.

Gilgamesh chooses to use his opportunity to do what he wants ~1500 in order to allow Thena to remain who she is, which is a very dangerous job, really. Gilgamesh exchanged 5 CENTURIES of time to explore the world, to party, to explore, anything really, for Thena. A job that really is thankless. Thena is actively dangerous for him, she attacks him fairly consistently due to her disability. And when a deviant attacks, he is solely responsible to defend both himself and Thena.

But he never complains. He does this willingly, infact he says he would do it again. This man cooks food, probably built that structure and at least keeps it up, he probably cannot consistently rely on Thena to do much work. That isn't Thena's fault though, and he sees that. That is a deep, deep love to me. The tender ways that he holds her hand to bring her back, all the care and risk he puts in, it shows an incredibly deep love.

I love Gil's introduction in the present. He has multiple visible wounds. But, other than teasing the others for showing up late and boasting that he got his, he doesn't complain. He doesn't complain that Thena has been off, that he was frustrated about having to keep both of them safe and getting wounded. It's just an expectation for him, he deals with that stress happily. He once tried to get Druig to put her to sleep so he could take a vacation. But like, he wanted one week out of five centuries, he deserves his own time and life sometimes!

And, in the end, it catches up to him, he dies. But his last word to Thena is "remember". Even as he dies, he expresses to Thena a wish for her to remember who she is, to keep her identity, to hold on to what he has dedicated his life to. Again, not explicitly physical or romantic, but it shows a very deep, trusting, comfortable, companionship kind of love. And the fact that Thena is devastated after, more than the others, the fact that Kro mentioning Gilgamesh allowed her to snap out of her confusion, it says love to me.

My point is that had they kissed, this would be BLATANTLY romantic to damn near anybody, these displays would all be seen as deep deep love. But they don't kiss, so now it's up to debate. Again, had they kissed, this would be celebrated as a real, loving romance. It frustrates me that romance and love is measured by physical displays primarily, because their love is honestly pretty clear, but because there is no kiss or sex scene, it's "up in the air".

Hell, our culture is so tied to kisses that gay kisses can be edited out for foreign markets and Disney makes a pass in those areas (a whole other ordeal). Just by editing a scene or two, an entire romance can be turned platonic. Romance is not just the kiss!! But our society puts SO MUCH emphasis there that without it, it isn't romance.

(Again, if you don't agree, cool. Just don't be inflammatory.)

Eternals (2021) Spoilers Ahead! (Pt 1)

Okay, so I just watched Eternals and bro...Ajak sucks. Keep in mind I have only watched the movie so that's the extent of my knowledge here but I need to rant.

It just bothers me that she told Ikarus because she has always known, and always been the leader who has distance from them. There was no need to tell him.

How do you go back to the love of your life and keep the knowledge that the world that she loves with all her heart is going to end? I couldn't do it.

But then he spent, what? 500 years away from her? And then, 7 days before it's meant to happen, AJAK CHANGES HER MIND! Like, bro, you had thousands of years to do this but you chose 7 days beforehand???

And this means that those centuries spent apart from the love of his life, and the loyalty he has had towards this design and Ajak, in particular, was for nothing. It was meaningless. And he doesn't even think they can stop it (cause none of them really do) so he spent 500 years essentially alone, dealing with the knowledge that he was always going to lose the person he loved, only to be told 7 days before it happened that the person he had done all this for, his leader, the person he trusted, had changed her mind.

That scene just hurts me. And while I don't think she deserved what she got, I don't like her as a person because it was cruel of her to tell him, especially when everything was already falling apart.

Yeah, his motivations just made a lot of sense to me.

Not to mention, the entire movie is the trolley problem but it's not one, it's two. So, for those who don't know: the trolley problem is there are 5 people on one set of trolley tracks and 1 on the other. You can't warn them and you can't stop the trolley: is it the 1 or the 5?

And for Ikarus, the 1 was earth and the 5 was the billions of other civilisations that would be created.

For Sersi, the 1 was Tiamut and the 5 was earth.

They both chose to kill the 1 to save the 5 but were thinking of different problems, which I love cause it really creates sympathetic characters all around. I understand why Ikarus and Sprite made their decisions.

SPEAKING OF SPRITE

Bro, it is so fucked up that she was made with a child's body that can never age. She's stuck in the physical body of a 12-year-old. That sounds like my personal hell. Why would she want to protect a society she can never join? She has no connection to it because she cannot join society properly. Which is fucking valid.

I have more points but this getting long

Eternals Reaction

My mother now refers to the celestials as "The lego brick head guys"

Spoilers below:

What I loved:

- The movie opening with the text scrolling up. I think it set the tone for the movie really well. This whole film felt like I was reading a book the way it was structured, so for the opening of the movie to literally be a page of text felt really appropriate

- Dane and Sersi's interactions! They're very natural and sweet together. Dane trying to teach the kids at the beginning was also very cute.

- Angelina Jolie (obviously). Thena is incredible. I loved her fighting style because it was so elegant and beautiful, but I also loved her vulnerable moments and her fear of not being able to trust her own mind. Every moment with her on screen was captivating

- I saw the movie in 3D, and all the powers looked so cool! I loved the gold wire design. My favourite is Phastos's powers where he literally pieces together gears and stuff in front of our eyes.

- Druig and Makkari (I laughed so hard at how Kingo and Phastos were both like "What's going on here? No, stop that." ) More of this relationship please!

Made me laugh:

- All of them referring to each other as friends from college

- Phastos's whole "inventing the plow" scene

- Gilgamesh's "Kiss the chef" apron

- The fact that the shot in the trailer where Druig and Ikaris are glaring daggers at each other in the Domo was just because Ikaris wanted twinkies and Druig wanted the emerald tablet

- Just a whole bunch of great Kingo moments

Miscellaneous Thoughts:

- I wish I could go see this movie again, like, tomorrow! (Unfortunately I have school and tests) There's just so much to take in, and I felt like my mind couldn't keep up.

- It was kinda weird to me that Kingo was just...not in the final battle. Did Unimind connect him as well? Like was he just in the middle of doing something and then suddenly light started shooting out of him lol

- Look, I get why some people don't like this movie. It's...not what you expect, not just for a Marvel movie, but also from just a general film perspective. Like I mentioned before, it felt like reading a novel to me. At the end of it, you feel like you've been on a long journey, and not everything is as neat as you'd like it to be. But for me, there was never a dull moment, I was invested in the characters and I had a good time. It feels like Chloe was allowed to tell the story she wanted to tell, and I love that. I'm excited for what's to come next, and I hope Chloe Zhao returns for a sequel.
