#and catnip for gods

[grumpyhedgehogs]

can't get a post-ragnarok semi-crack fic idea outta my head like--

The serious bit: Atreus leaves to fulfill/make his destiny, find the giants and explore new worlds...but he keeps coming back for visits, of course! And every time he does, there's something changed. Kratos, Freya and Mimir have beaten the berserkers and cleaned up the remains of Asgard. they've beaten Gna. Kratos is as calm as ever, but his father has a new sense of purpose Atreus can't quite reconcile or put his finger on.

Kratos has begun to be renowned in the Norse world. the true all-father, the man who lead the united forces of ragnarok to defeat the scheming odin. the god who spared when he could have smote. the god who looks after sons and daughters and wives and husbands, who stays the hand that would harm the wounded for the sake of harming them. people begin to build alters to the god of war, who knows mercy as well as he knows violence. they leave offerings. they pray in his name. they look for his guidance before they look for his wrath.

Atreus is so, so proud of his father. Kratos tells him there are ways to live on after death, even--or especially--for a god. To make memories and impart lessons that those who outlive you look back on fondly is to be immortal in the one way that truly matters.

the funny bit: Atreus also realizes that his father is a god-magnet. no matter how far he travels, word of the ghost of Sparta precedes him. now, though, there's talk of the new god of war in the Norse lands, who is making a big splash. the remains of Greece have been rebuilding and, hearing the tales of this new god, have surprisingly set out to treat with the norsemen who follow a god so strangely familiar to their own. even gods from lands to the far east and west know of Kratos. now, though, there is a mix of old fear and new awe when Atreus reveals their relation to other gods. they...kinda want to meet this god.

cue Atreus leaving different lands to visit home only to find more and more gods taking tea with Freya in his father's newly grown garden, speaking with Mimir about philosophy in his father's warm, fire lit kitchen, watching on the sidelines as Kratos wields his ax to...just chop firewood. these gods are invading their home, taking up space and his father's precious time! they vie for his attention like lovesick puppies, trying to gain the wisdom--and perhaps...favor?--of Kratos. This, of course, is unacceptable. Nobody but Atreus seems to think so, though...

TLDR: Kratos is a god-magnet post-ragnarok, visiting gods are smitten, and Atreus must protect his father's honor!

Sometimes I do feel almost overwhelmed with how much I like VnC. It's so magic that there happens to be a series out there filled to the brim with the exact sorts characters, story beats, and themes that I love most, and it happens to be constructed in exactly the way that I find most satisfying to write about and examine and dwell within.

Ok but the way Caleb's English VA says "the authority to command me" in that 55 affinity secret time just about killed me. absolutely forgot to breathe

any old Hannibal fans/current IWTV fans who are suffering in exactly the same way as me: reading The Lives of the Mayfair Witches to prepare for the crossover novels and having elaborate AU fantasies about Will Graham, NEW ORLEANS-born weirdo who NEVER KNEW HIS MOTHER who suffers from what are arguably PSYCHIC VISIONS??????

Will Graham is a tenfold Mayfair offshoot who can see The Man

DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. DOES ANYONE SEE THE VISION

Accidentally suggested a community label for your heartbeat comic because my Wifi failed and I was tapping the screen so furiously to get it back……

maybe there should be a community label of “catnip for gays”
