"There, that's the last one"

Tim wiped the dirt from his hands on his shirt as he sat back from planting the last tree in the indoor garden. He looked about making sure it would all be suitable for the boys to nest in.

He smiled thinking of Frederick and Reginald, knowing full well they would be nesting in Cayde's hair instead of the plants half the time anyway. But still, they needed the space and enrichment so he spent the last 4 hours making sure things were set up for the two birds.

He stood and almost fell from the sharp pain in his leg. Sitting, he had almost forgotten about the broken leg.

"Fucking locals"

~*I can see every tear you've cried

Like an ocean in your eyes

all the pain and the scars have left you cold

I can see all the fears you face

Through a storm that never goes away

Don't believe all the lies that you've been told*~

Grabbing his glass of whiskey off the side table, he quickly downed the rest of it. Setting the glass down again he let out a sigh and looked towards the bedroom where Cayde was sleeping. Finally. Finally sleeping after exhausting himself looking at old photos and memories and tears. Levi's passing hit him hard. Very hard. He hadnt seen Cayde this broken before. Everything that has been happening has been piling onto him, just one brick after another.

~*I'll be right here now

to hold you when the sky falls down

i will always

be the one who took your place

when the rain alls

i wont let go

i'll be right here~*

He took the bottle and emptied the rest of it in a few swallows.

Rubbing his eyes he stumbled quietly to the shower to wash off the rest of the dirt and sweat. The water hitting his road rash burned and stung but grounded him through his drunken haze.

Bracing himself up on the wall of the shower in front of him, standing in the spray of steam and hot water he let his mind wander to the last few days. Vision blurred but oddly focused from intoxication the images played out.

Josh broken and bleeding blending with his own broken form from years ago. Can't defend yourself. Mia, stressed and afraid to talk to anyone about how she felt, afraid of being shot for her feelings. He left the hospital to take a selfish break and it cost her dearly. Selfish again. Claira sitting on the floor in pain and afraid. She said he tried to protect her, but he failed, just getting shot himself. Giving Mia his gun to protect her and Josh and seeing her conviction to do so. Everyone sitting in the living room of the vinewood house, exhausted and stressed as he comes inside from keeping watch. He didnt make a difference. Getting his truck and driving through gunfire to get Alvyn and Claira to safety. He left Cayde. He couldnt stop Neveah from getting hurt. Driving back hoping not to find people dead. The anxiety of waiting to be fired upon and looking for injured. Seeing Cayde and no green, picking him up and getting to the truck, engaging the engine and the sound of bullets hitting the truck, frantically backing up. The panic of making sure he lost any persuers and getting Cayde to the hospital. Then gunfire for hours, trying to help as best he could, distractions for the uninvolved that were trapped in it, humor for some, and transport for others. Useless. Fumbling through triage and trying to put the officers back together so they wouldnt die. Useless.

im gonna be honest, the discourse left me feeling like i should completely rewrite my ocs story so i wouldnt be lumped into who those people are -- my oc had a crush on cayde, most her actions were influenced from his death and her development stemmed from the fact she couldnt do much to save him

i care a lot about the two of them but seeing how everyone has reacted left me thinking maybe i should stop oc x canon all together? i havent said anything on my main and would prefer to keep it that way but you know..

it hurts more that these people did interact with my content and even asked questions about my character/brought me into spotlight of some destiny artists i really look up to which made me think they really cared! but they didnt care about my character. they just wanted cayde and the second i took a break from content they stepped away and sent the same asks word for word to other new content creators who have done anything for cayde in the slightest :/

sorry about this i still feel pretty disheartened by all this haha. dont feel the need to answer either, keep being awesome and talking about lore :)

They sound like genuinely horrible people. It's up to you of course, but you don't have to let them ruin your own enjoyment of the content. I'd say you can keep making your content and as long as they can't interact with you, it should be fine. There's plenty of people who have oc x canon ships and those aren't in any way inherently bad!

It sounds so awful that the only thing they wanted from you and your friendship and time was Cayde :/ I feel like that's how they interact with most other people as well. Possibly even each other. I mean, they're okay with bigotry as long as the bigots are posting about Cayde. It's appalling.

Your OC sounds interesting! My own Hunter OC had a familial relationship with Cayde and was wrecked when he died. He's her main nightmare and while she's over his death and is friends with Crow, it's one of those things that's difficult to get over for her. Since she feels like she should've been there to save him.

Plenty of people have similar stories! You're definitely not going to get lumped in with others just because of oc x canon ship. Most fans handle it normally and don't get unhealthy about it.

Also thank you! Feel free to ramble any time.

Summary: an imagine i thought of

Warnings: none really

Honestly in this world it was difficult to find a true mate someone to love you spend your life with. No gaurdian or non-gaurdian had a mate seemed impossible with Gaul around. The traveler granted you that special feeling of a connection with someone it gave it to everyone even those with out the light had that un-spoken bond with someone. You had just been woken up your ghost floating around you leading you to the city you felt different in-human you couldn't shake it as you boarded a ship heading back to the tower.

Maybe it was immortality now? The fear of no death knowing you could come back to life with your ghost? You didn't knoe you were a normal human not Exo or awoken just human. Landing on the stone floor you looked around gaurdians grabbing their gear before heading off to fight. You frowned looking down at your ragged clothes as you sighed heading to where you ghost led. Amanda holiday a nice beta giving you a nice do over on your ship and some proper hunter clothes. Hunter huh wild and free you thought but then again are we truly free?

You snapped out of it heading to the armory no doubt you saw it glisten calling you the hand cannon. You touched it grabbing it craefully spinning it around it felt right you slid it into your holster grabbing a niper aswell before heading to get them painted. Black and gold seemed fitting a diamond from cards on it you smiled thanking the woman before heading to the vangaurds your coat swishing behind you. You grew nervous suddenly all the sounds being blurred into one your senses on fire as you gripped the wall.

"Guardian?" Your ghost asked as you nodded to him.

"Im fine" you mumbled getting up and heading to them. You froze though suddenly a ridgid back a few meters away from you the famous Ikora rey and Zavala looking confused at their hunter.

"She's here" the hunter said making them frown turning to the human.

"I can uh go" you coughed a feeling flowing through you, it couldnt be could it?

The figure turned around his optics focussing on you as you froze again.

"Cayde?" Ikora asked the hunter as he stared not answering.

"Cayde-6" Zavala huffed as the Exo turned around babbling sorrys.

"Hunter come here" you stepped forward to the warlock who glared at the Exo.

"I was uh told to be here" you muttered as she nodded.

"Well, Cayde?" She asked annoyed.

"Uh yep on it right over no where oh boy ok um" he rambled looking at the map.

"Roght here fallen doing stuff yeah shoot em" he said nervously laughing as Zavala sighed face palming.

"What he means to say gaurdian is that a fallen captain has taken captive of a civilian find it kill it and bring her back safely" you nodded at the titan slowly walking off. You went to mars finding the captain killing it when someone joined you.

"Cayde?" Your ghost questioned.

"Ok ok shhhh im not meant to be here i uh" he sighed.

"You feel it right i know im crazy an all but do you feel it? You nodded to him as he sighed in relief.

"Ok seriously i was scared i was going mad like sheesh" he said making you laugh.

"Whats your name?" He asked.

"Y/n" you answered your ghost backing away.

"A guardian who speaks wow even better" you smiled at his comment as he sighed.

"Cayde, Cayde-6 nicknamed ace" you nodded you knew.

"Which you already knee because everyone knows hah" he sighed rubbing his head.

"Ok this is really weird but do you wanna get ramen sometime i know this amazing ramen place in the city it is to die for even though we come back and blah blah" he stammered as you smiled again at his cuteness.

"Yes Cayde id would love to get ramen" he lit up.

"Really?" You nodded as he smiled fist pumping.

"Ah thats, thats amazing" he sighed making you giggle.

"I swear i already love you" you froze as did he.

"I mean like not literal sense ya know like more lime i like you but what isnt to like haha" he gave up hanging his head as you walked closer lifting his chin up giving his cheek a kiss. He stood frozen his eye bright as he picked you up hugging you. You smiled laughing at his behaviour as he let you down.

"Can't believe i found you" he whispered.

"Me neither" you felt whole.
