#THEN THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

astronomy

Regulus always loved Astronomy.

It offered him perspective, consoled him when he felt like the air was too suffocating and the world was caving in around him.

The universe was so immense. It made him feel small. 

Inconsequential.

Like it didn’t truly matter if he lived or died, because who was he in the grand scheme of things? The universe; the sky; it was so large in comparison to him. He was insignificant.

The idea of being so wholly unimportant comforted him in a way he couldn’t quite explain. It just did.

When he was younger he had these recurring dreams that him and Sirius lived in the sky surrounded by thousands of stars. They would intertwine their hands and travel from constellasion to constellasion, mapping out the entirety of them.

At night the stars would take turns in telling them fairytales. Wonderful stories of friendship and eternal love. Epic tales about bravery and tragic heartbreak.

The brothers would hop on shooting stars and fly from planet to planet, scouting only a tiny fraction of the vast universe, because it was always too big to ever be fully explored, and always would be.

When he awoke from these dreams he would feel hollow, just for a second, like he was grieving something he never even had. Sometimes he even woke in panic, thinking his brother wasn’t real, that he too was a figment of his imagination. Just a part of his dream. But then he would hear footsteps padding down the hall, and Sirius came rushing into his room, jumping on his bed to ask him what was wrong. As if he had sensed Regulus' panic. And it would be alright, because he was always real and always there.

They may not be able to escape to the stars, but at least they had each other, and the stars would remain exactly as they were, waiting for them.

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

I was just gonna do the adult timeline zelda but im so enchanted by the idea of these two versions of the same character. People always talk about how link would be changed but never zelda.

when regulus wakes up in the morning he stretches so intensely that he pushes James off the bed. every time. but it ends up being a blessing in disguise because he works as James’ alarm clock.

james potter really saw a lanky, socially awkward werewolf, a traumatized aristocrat who doesn't know love, and a shy, always over-looked kid and thought to himself “ah yes, mine now”

my favorite part of arcane season 2 was when ekko and jinx got married and raised isha and ruled over zaun together. truly an amazing ending wouldn't change a thing haha

What if Soap and Ghost decided to get married for military benefits?

They're a little drunk when they think of it, giggling about one of them wearing a wedding dress or carrying the other down the aisle, but the next day they actually think about it. It would let them be more flexible about housing, moving into an apartment or even a home together with nicer beds and appliances. They'd get some extra money for groceries and some more freedom. It sounded great, and with Price and Laswell capable of figuring out the fraternization logistics, it was a real possibility.

So, then ensues a 'fake' marriage, where two homies get legally married just for benefits. Everyone congratulates them on finding love, but they're just relaxing in their apartment, sleeping in two separate rooms, and living their own lives. Ghost keeps to himself while Soap goes out to meet new people.

But as time goes on, they start spending more and more time together, cooking meals together or falling asleep on the couch with a movie playing in the background. Soap eventually moves into Ghost's room, claiming he was cold (he was not, he was actually melting but Ghost didn't need to know). Their fake marriage starts to look a lot like a real marriage, real domestic: weekly dates, intertwined schedules, and arguments over bills and taxes.

Nearly two/three years in and it hits them that they actually like each other. They couldn't imagine divorcing once they're out of the military, couldn't imagine anyone else taking their place. When they hit the five year mark, they decide to have a real wedding, renewing their (previously copied from Google) vows in front of family and friends.

And I'm sure the benefits for a civilian spouse would help Johnny a lot when he's medically discharged from the military. Instead of following Ghost around as his teammate, he gets to follow Ghost around as his husband, always waiting for him to come home during those last few years in service.
