the thing is abt the joenicky wouldn't have stopped searching take is that like. they're not Better Than andy / quynh and they don't necessarily love each other More. i find it interesting to examine the idea that THEY think they couldn't have stopped but ultimately because it's not them i think they'd have no way of understanding andy's position + circumstance would've made them stop in the end. again like in my tag rant i think they're both too concerned with the greater good. they would not place each other over that. in the end.

#i feel like i misphrased my codependency comment i dont actually think that. i do think they have a very specific (interesting) dynamic of #coming into immortality together and so i think they literally don't know what to do w/out each other (ties into greg's comment of them #never really being apart). i think they're like. inextricably part of each other and i do think separating them would fuck them both up #astronomically. but like. in my iron maiden joe prequel nicky is the one who actually decides to end the search #andy and quynh push him towards it but it's his choice. the same way in my post iron maiden quynh fic andy eventually chooses to end it #but i don't think it's a decision they WOULDN'T make.#this also ties into my they would not give up the world for each other. i think they think they would. but they wouldn't #mostly because i find 'would sacrifice the world for the one they love' kinda dull but i think both of them love people too much.#if it happened and they didn't know whether the other was alive they would probably devote themselves extra to helping people #because what else can they do. esp nicky i think he would need purpose above all else #neon has thoughts #ANYWAY. i have a lot of thoughts. i need to start iron maiden joe prequel / cypress shadow again. this will fix me
