[heartswithinreach]

Hello! I wanted to say I love your writing and super eager for more! That said, I was recently diagnosed with cancer and was wondering how the lads would react to an MC who was diagnosed with it or something similar? If that's too dark, I'm sorry!

Thank you and I hope your day is great! :)

a/n: i am so sorry anon, i hope you're taking care of yourself and that this can bring you some comfort 💖💖🫂everyone wish anon well!!

LaDS when MC has a cancer diagnosis

Xavier

After a few moments of silence, he accepts the reality of your diagnosis and begins making plans on how to make your life easier. Whatever you need, he'll do it, no questions asked.

For your sake, Xavier is as calm and steadfast as ever. He wants you to continue living life as normally as possible. He'll do subtle, thoughtful things just to remind you how important you are to him and that he’ll always love you, no matter what comes.

With Jenna and your team's full support, you and Xavier both take a leave of absence from duty so Xavier can take care of you during your treatment.

Tara takes the lead in organizing visits and dividing chores they can do so you can rest with nothing to worry about. She spends almost as much time with you as Xavier does and he’s immensely grateful so many support you both.

Xavier listens to your worries and fears. Say what you feel, he's here to shoulder it with you without judgment.

Rafayel

His first reaction is anger — not at you, but at this horrible situation.

No one deserves this and he's so frustrated he can't just make this go away with the money or influence he has. What is it all for if he can't take care of you?

But this isn't about him. Rafayel might not be the most natural caretaker but your bond is forever. He won't just abandon you now.

He can't sleep that night after you tell him so he works till dawn converting a spare room into your home away from home. Being near the sea can help improve your health, right? Well, maybe you should stay with him for while, then!

Rafayel, despite what he may think, is actually a pretty good nurse, fussing over you and making you feel special while keeping your spirits high. He is so attuned to you and your needs, it’s as easy as breathing.

Zayne

As your physician, he saw the signs early on but quickly passed your case on to someone more qualified than him. He couldn't allow his feelings to get in the way of getting you the best possible care.

Zayne is there at every meeting, every check up, every treatment. He didn't expect it to be so difficult from getting too involved but he knows he would be nothing but a hinderance to the team treating you.

So he puts his faith in the capable staff of Akso Hospital while he dedicates himself to your emotional and mental health. He only goes into the hospital a few times a week for his more urgent patients, otherwise, he’s at home with you.

Zayne becomes so considerate and gentle, you'll wonder how you ever thought he was cold. Through it all, he will be your rock.

You need him, now more than ever, and Zayne takes that more seriously than ever oath he’s ever made.

Sylus

Mephisto is never far away so when you’re walking home after getting the news, you’re not very surprised to see Sylus waiting in a dark alley by your apartment. He will pull you into his embrace without a word and hold you together as you fall apart.

Sylus wants to know how you want to proceed and then he wants you to give him permission to make it a reality. He’s always silently hoping you’ll use his resources but now he’s almost pleading.

He keeps some sense of normalcy by continuing to tease and antagonize you, though now more gently than before and only if it’ll get you to smile.

Sylus wishes you could stay with him in the N109 Zone but he knows it’s impossible. You could never get the proper treatment there and he can’t leave his domain for too long. But the twins and Mephisto can do everything he cannot and that brings him some solace.

In time, you and Mephisto become closer until he has a nest in your room and you wake up every morning to something new and shiny on your windowsill to cheer you up. Having even just an extension of Sylus with you until the man himself comes to visit you at night is more comforting than you ever imagined.

So I like to think that cigarettes exist in the Devildom, and that they have their own brands and everything. Smoking is also probably more common and less stigmatised/hated than it is in (many places of) the human world. Humans are actually the reason that demons learned about smoking in the first place, and Devildom cigarettes are functionally identical to human-world cigarettes (since demons have basically copied the production method 1:1 from humans)

Demons aren't negatively affected by tobacco, nicotine, and smoking in general like humans are. So it's a lot more socially acceptable - it's still not common, but without the horrible side effects like lung cancer, heart disease, etc, it's not seen or thought of as a "bad habit" like it is for many humans.

Lucifer smokes occasionally, mostly for stress relief when he's overworked. He'll usually only indulge when he's on his own, mostly whenever he needs to calm down and decompress. The only room in the HoL where he'll smoke is in his study. Even for something as small as a cigarette, he doesn't like to be seen "relying" on anything to help him, thanks to his Pride.

Mammon will sometimes smoke, and he mostly does it when he's out at the club or in the casino. He's a "social smoker" like someone might be a social drinker. He's unlikely to ever pick up a cigarette at home or at RAD, but if he's out in the city partying the night away or gambling with a bunch of the Devildom's high-rollers, then he's more likely to light one up. He's also been photographed with cigs for the odd magazine spread.

Satan used to smoke, and he used to be the heaviest smoker in the family. He has since "quit" however, and claims that he no longer indulges in the habit. This is because he mostly smoked when he was younger and still full of rage, struggling to handle his Wrath without losing control of himself. Smoking helped him calm down and reduced his anger, and he would smoke for similar reasons as Lucifer (stress relief)

Satan maintains that he's put this part of his life behind him, though, and that it's been a very long time since he needed a crutch like cigarettes to help him stay calm. This is mostly true, though when exam season rolls around at RAD (and when he's stressed out trying to tutor five of his brothers as well as study for his own finals) Satan will secretly smoke in his room.

Diavolo doesn't normally smoke, but he'll do so on the rare occasions he meets with the Devildom's House of Lords. Many of the sitting members of the House smoke cigars or pipes, and Diavolo is socially savvy enough to light up a smoke as well in order to make a good impression. He may also smoke with Lucifer, but only if the Avatar of Pride pulls out his cigarettes first.

Mephistopheles has tried, on many occasions, to smoke with Diavolo whenever the Prince has done so - but Mephisto just turns into a coughing, spluttering mess every time. He can't handle even the mildest of cigarettes, and since it embarrasses him that he always starts choking and wheezing, he usually pretends that he hates smoking and will shit talk the habit.

Mephisto somehow went from my most hated character to my 2nd favorite character after W. Maybe I’m just too fickle or emotional or not exposed to enough media with the same character archetype, but idk anymore man chapter 8 got me bawling my eyes out for this little shit.

(Its not like all the hate went poof tbh. I can’t forgive him for the crimes against humanity. The fact that even in Reunion everyone fucking hates him is a testament to his horrid personality. Part of me still wants the bear girls and probably 10k other victims to take turns smacking his smug face. But thinking about him just makes me so sad??)

He had a shit life. His family abused him, other slum kids bullied him, someone shoved a radioactive rock down his throat and gave him arknights cancer. Faust was his only friend and he would do anything to make him happy, even if he was beaten up even worse for it. Even after getting power, his first act of defiance (which is uh. killing his family by mind controlling the slum kids) was prompted by his bestie and not out of his own will. Then they got sent to the mines and almost starved to death. Then the first adult he ever trusted was possessed by some ancient evil guy and encouraged him to kill people, so he did just that. He didn’t even know it’s wrong until Faust basically killed himself. Then he wanted to die but couldn’t because Faust wouldn’t want that, so he turned himself into lugia funniest shit I’ve ever seen tried to wipe his memories to start over. But of course he failed and instead turned into an eldritch abomination that only caused more and more harm.

After everything I can’t even feel mad anymore, just… hopeless. The environment fucked him up so bad he sees no value in anyone’s life except Faust and Talulah. Then he fucked up so bad that everyone he knows is either dead or wants him dead, and who can blame them. At the end the only thing left is one broken kid with no self-worth, no dreams, no will to live, only the blood of thousands on his hands.

I know trauma isn’t an excuse to commit war crimes and other characters also have fucked up backstories but didn’t turn out like him. But I feel like most of them at least had some kind of guidance (through family or education) at some point of their lives. Mephisto’s guidance is terrorism. No surprise his moral compass is so fucked.

Tldr arknights got me depressed over the smug war criminal I’m deleting this fucking game >:’(

I need to do better justice to that Pretender Meph post. Man, it has been one hot second. Presenting,

Bruce's Big Pretender Meph Essay

Just a fair warning that this essay will be less serious than the last one, I wanted to get sillay with it.

Content warning for repetition and themes of identity under the cut.

So, let’s start with the obvious question: what is a Pretender?

According to the Type-Moon wiki, every Class has, so to speak, a subtitle. Caster is “Magus and Heroic Spirit of Spells and Sorcery,” Rider is “Mounted Knight and Heroic Spirit of the Mount,” Moon Cancer is “the Irregular Who Threatens the World of the Moon,” yada yada yada yada yada. Well, according to Nasu, the Pretender “subtitle��� is “One Who Wears a Role.”

Pretender-class Heroic Spirits are people who gained fame under a false alias. Vigilantes like Zorro do not count. To be a Pretender, you can’t let people know that you’re not who they think you are.

Enter the scrimblo. The scroingle. The scrunkly mippy. Have you ever wondered why someone who introduces themself as The Devil™, Ya Know, From Da Theater (/ref) isn’t up there with the game’s Divine Spirits in terms of strength?

Because we’re not looking at the devil.

Who would’ve thunk?? Certainly no one at launch! Do we know anything about Meph underneath that hot, hot demon persona? No!

According to Holmes, Pretenders “deceiv[e] and mislead… others to do great deeds.” I have said it before with my Christmas Meph idea, but Mephistopheles’ major character concept is that of someone who props themself up as the ultimate evil for humanity to overcome!

In addition, Holmes describes Pretenders as “[those] who deceives even the soul until more power and greater achievements than the real thing remain.” Given that Heroic Spirits are essentially familiars born of souls long since passed, what else could you call the effects of Innocent Monster? Check out that screenshot again. “Past and existence twisted,” huh? Why🙃does that 🙃sound🙃so🙃familiar??🙃🙃🙃

“But Bruce, there’s no indication that was intentional in-universe!” I will admit, that’s a good point! However! [I place a brochure in front of you.]

If you would kindly flip to the “Speech Examples” section, there is one part in particular that simply cannot be ignored!

“Make the name of Mephistopheles my True Name!”

(Thank you to u/Kinalvin for translating!)

This line keeps me up at night. It’s the phrasing, the implication that Mephisto is bothered by the whole thing. In addition! Consider this line from the “Historical/Character Image” section:

“I… was born to be a Servant.”

A regular homunculus wouldn’t be noteworthy or ancient enough to be a Heroic Spirit, but the devil?? What better match could there be?

And just for fun, someone pointed this out before (unfortunately, I can’t find the post), but

Horns. ¯\_😉_/¯

And they are verrrrry similarly shaped.

[melosfantasos]

Below are the controversial changes in recent chapters, but the most problematic one is discussed at length in last place.

Camus is the one sent to assassinate Old Master.

The Cepheus Saint is Albiore rather than Daidalos, one of the uncommon occasions where I picked anime filler. Reda appears, but Spica doesn't exist. Reda gets the Cassiopeia Cloth, as I have plans for Piscis Austrinus. Cassiopeia is Bronze.

Deathmask is different. He has a name that isn't the “Mephisto” from the English dub (but is still called Deathmask), and has a master. There is no more confusion on whether he is evil or not — he is good, just Machiavellian and judgmental. This should make his clash with Shiryu's idealism more nuanced.

Milo is an amazon. I understand this will disappoint people, so I will go into my reasoning below.

People disliked Shun being turned into a girl in the Netflix show for obvious reasons. I have seen fans say they should've turned Aphrodite into a girl instead, but the fact is that, sure, we should have more female characters, but when it came to the main cast, we already had good candidates that went underused by Kurumada (Saori, Marin, Shaina). This was the major complaint people had with the writers calling the main cast a sausage party and turning Shun into a woman. I tried to rectify that by giving them the attention they deserve.

I also added a female main character from the get-go in the form of June, because she is the only canonical Bronze Saint. This was just to slight the Netflix writers by proving canon already had good material for female mains — I admit it was childish, but I love my June now.

I am also in the process of adding new female Bronze Saints by taking clues from noncanon (Delphinus/Dolphin Mii/Alicia), and by creating my own. Besides that, as some know, my Seika will be a very different character from the original too.

Clearly there is more than enough space for female characters, and we don't need to turn Aphrodite into a girl, let alone Shun. Then why do it to Milo?

Answer is simple: I want a female Gold Saint. Let's look at available solutions.

Solution 1 — Take a clue from Next Dimension and make an Ophiuchus Gold Saint. I can't do that because 1) I have set rules to how the world works that make this impossible. My Sanctuary's Ecliptic Houses are based on the Ancient Greek house system: the ecliptic is subdivided into spaces called “houses” that are immutable since the time of the Babylonians, i.e. even if Ophiuchus enters the ecliptic, it's never going to get a temple of its own, because although the houses refer to the constellations, they are not the constellations themselves. Think of how the Tropic of Cancer has little to do with Cancer nowadays, yet we still call it that; it's similar to what I'm doing. 2) Shaina. Enough said. This is a Seiya x Shaina fanfic too, and she is forever sacred.

Solution 2 — Make Aphrodite into a woman. I mean, he's called Aphrodite after all! My answer is obviously a no.

Solution 3 — Make a female Sagittarius join the roster later on. There will be changes in the Gold Saint roster over time, but no female Sagittarius (someone asked me if I was making Seika into the new Sagittarius, and although that sounds fascinating, it's not happening). My June is already peak fanfic, I have to balance things out somehow.

Solution 4 — Genderbend someone else and endure people exiling the fanfic. That was my choice because I'm a masochist.

Why Milo? There is precedence for Milo being a woman in the Toei 2014 film, and there is Scorpio Sonia; both are noncanon, but still highlight the possibility of a female Scorpio.

Other reason is that Milo is a distinctively masculine name, while Aphrodite is a distinctively feminine name. I enjoy that contrast, a femboy with a woman's name and a tomboy with a man's name.

All of the major scenes will still be there. The fight in Sanctuary will be even more intense, I'd say. The encounter with Kanon should be on par with the original in weight.

I hope this is at least tolerable to readers. Feel free to rip me apart in the comments anyway, I know Milo is in many people's ships.

Ghost Rider I/Hellstrom I

Marvel Spotlight #5-7

(#5-7 Written by Gary Friedrich pencilled by Mike Ploog

#6-7 inked by Frank Monte)

I loved the origin for Johnny Blaze in Marvel Spotlight #5 even though at times it’s unintentionally funny. I don’t know why but every time his adoptive father, Crash Simpson would call him a coward it would just make me laugh cause he went so hard on him with it. It just came off melodramatic just so there’d be tension in the family. I did like the fact that Johnny’s adoptive mother, Mona sacrifices herself to save him. I found that to be a really powerful moment. Along with the fact that she makes Johnny promise her that he won’t ever ride in Crash’s show. Crash being diagnosed with cancer hit home for me (my mom died of lung and brain cancer) and the idea that Johnny turned to Satan cause he was desperate to help his foster father made sense to me especially in their world of the supernatural and superheroes. Cause if I could’ve saved my mother I would’ve. I’ve always liked that part of Ghost Rider and it makes him even more interesting than a lot of other superheroes. He has powers given to him by Mephisto or Satan and uses them to fight evil. I do like that twist and it’s why Ghost Rider (especially 90’s-00’s GR comics) is one of my favorite characters. Note: this is my first time reading these early GR comics. Then of course the reveal comes when Crash dies in a show and Satan tells Johnny that he promised to heal his disease not save him. Classic can’t trust the devil stuff. It’s classic for a reason cause it works as a plot device. Don’t trust the devil, kids. I don’t like Johnny’s love interest, Roxanne Simpson and I found the idea that her being a pure soul can banish demons and save Johnny to be a little lame. Plus she spends most of these issues getting kidnapped.

We start issue 6 with Johnny Blaze being harassed by a group of bikers called Satan’s Saints. He knocks them off their bikes and then their leader, Curly offers him a membership cause he’s cool. Now in my Morbius posts I have mentioned that I find the idea that people think Morbius is wearing a mask to be completely unbelievable. Here, it’s the same situation except for the fact that GHOST RIDER HAS A SKULL FOR A FACE AND IT’S LIT ON FIRE. It’s such a stupid idea that everyone just thinks it’s a mask/helmet. It infuriates me cause it makes everyone seem to be stupid. It doesn’t work. Anyways, Curly is revealed to be Crash reincarnated by Satan so that he can get Johnny’s soul. Again, they use the pure soul/love that Johnny has for Rocky prevent Satan from getting his soul so instead the Devil sends Crash as Curly to retrieve Rocky so they can sacrifice her. It’s kinda weird how willing Crash is to sacrifice his daughter to be alive again. There’s a fight at the motorcycle show with Satan’s Saints. It’s cool and Johnny successfully save Rocky and everyone in the crowd believes it was a part of the show. Johnny sees himself as a danger to Rocky so he ends up leaving her. Guess what happens next? She gets kidnapped.

Crash begins the sacrifice of Rocky but is interrupted by Ghost Rider. Satan gives Crash a flaming sword and basically says he needs to kill Johnny. They have a fight in hell and Crash ends up sacrificing himself to save Johnny. There’s a weird moment where a cloaked figure in hell helps Johnny leave after taking Crash’s body. I will say I liked the fight in hell. It was really cool imagery and I liked that Crash had a redemptive ending. Plus the imagery of Johnny carrying Crash was really sad. I love when the fight is happening, we see lots of red, yellow and Orange flames but once Crash has sacrificed himself, the main colors become shades of blue. Overall with my problems aside, I enjoyed the hell out of this first arc but next story arc is where things get rough. Btw, the ending to this arc is in the first pages of issue 8 but I wanted to cover it all in this section.

This storyline came off problematic and used a lot of racial stereotypes plus casual use of R-slur. The Apaches had pink-red skin and it just came off offensive and honestly, racist. I hated this whole story arc and frankly, I almost gave up reading it. I was really looking forward to Ghost Rider and we definitely went off the rails here. Plus, Roxanne got kidnapped again and I’m so tired of the damsel in distress trope. We can only go up from here right?…right? Also, is everyone a satanist in this book? Damn, the satanic panic really had people by the throat in the 70’s.

Ghost Rider #1-2

(#1 and #2 Written by Gary Friedrich

#1 pencilled by Tom Sutton

#2 pencilled by Jim Mooney

#1 and #2 inked by Syd Shores)

I’ve made my point about the way they portray the Apache characters so I won’t retread that just know that it continues here (it’s not as bad but still annoying).

I was excited when the first issue of Ghost Rider opens on Daimon Hellstrom visiting his mother’s grave. Daimon is a character that I had written down to explore more of so I was pumped to see that he takes over the Marvel Spotlight series for a while. Anyways Sam Silvercloud and his father meet with Daimon to see if he can help his possessed wife Linda Littletree, who is a villain named Witch Woman. By the time he gets there though Linda has been taken over completely by Satan and she runs to find Johnny Blaze. There’s a cool scene when Daimon gets to their house and he wraps his wrists around the Chain of Ankhs and tells them not to open the door or help him in any way no matter what he tells them. It’s just a cool setup and immediately makes you wonder what Hellstrom’s deal is. Johnny Blaze is in the hospital after a crash and then at night he transforms into Ghost Rider and heads to Copperhead Canyon to stop Bart Slade from attempting the jump. I will say Bart failing the jump and dying in a fiery explosion was unexpected and raised the stakes a lot more for me as a reader. I gotta say too that Johnny continuously has to flee the police (just wait till I get to issue 3) and sometimes I have to question the writing because it makes Johnny seem like a total moron.

Issue 2 makes Johnny look even worse cause he pushes Rocky down so that she’ll leave him alone and let him give up to Satan. It’s hard to like Johnny when the writing makes him hit women and seem dumb as rocks. Witch Woman (possessed by Satan) appears and wants Rocky’s soul along with Johnny’s so GR refuses and makes hellfire appear between Rocky and WW. I haven’t mentioned this but I love that Ghost Rider can wield hellfire but I’m missing his chains and penance stare. These early Ghost Rider issues are really rough and I’m struggling to be positive here. More motorcycle bad guys appear named Big Daddy Dawson’s Ruthless Riders and these ones are Nazis so there’s that. They start to fight but Witch Woman transports herself and Ghost Rider to Hell. Rocky is then harassed by the nazi bike riders but we don’t find out what happens to her until next issue. Johnny refuses to give up his soul as long as Rocky is in trouble so Satan reveals himself by burning the Witch Woman. He sends his demons against Ghost Rider and they hold him down as the Devil holds his sword above Johnny and ready to stab him. They are interrupted by someone. I love how Jim Mooney draws Hell with a dark cave structure but with yellow and orange flames in the background. Also I gotta say that I’m confused about Satan, Lucifer, Mephisto etc. the Hell stuff is so confusing in the Marvel universe. Anyways, before I move on to the next issue in this story, Daimon is freed by Sam after pleading that Linda is in trouble. We don’t see his costume but he’s in his Son of Satan garb with the yellow boots and red pants. They hid his full costume because they wanted you to pick up the Son of Satan issue of Marvel Spotlight to get the reveal. It’s the same with the ending of this issue. It’s clear that the person who stops Johnny from getting killed has to be Son of Satan but all we see is a speech bubble coming out from the corner of the page. I actually liked how they hid Daimon’s full reveal cause it made him more mysterious. That’s another thing, we don’t ever see Daimon’s face throughout these 2 GR issues, he’s always in shadow or shown from the back. It worked for me.

Marvel Spotlight #12

(Written by Gary Friedrich and pencilled by Herb Trimpe and inked by Frank Monte)

Daimon Hellstrom is freed from the Chain of Ankhs by Sam Silvercloud revealing Hellstrom’s alter ego the Son of Satan! This issue takes us back to the events of Ghost Rider #2 but with the perspective of the Son of Satan. We get a costume reveal of the red and yellow shirtless cape and pants look. He’s holding his badass trident and has his Satan tattoo on his chest. I gotta be honest this was a badass moment. He uses his trident to shake the ground and make a storm and call his chariot. It just shows how powerful he is. It’s a great first reveal. Plus I like going back and seeing his perspective. It catches us up on how he found Johnny in Hell. He’s a bastard too cause he saves Rocky from the Nazis but then when he figures out that they went to hell he leaves Rocky in the desert. Daimon fights off Satan’s minions and we get a reveal that his trident is made from Netheranium which makes Satan’s powers useless. It explains how Son of Satan can fight his father and not just be easily defeated cause it’s the Devil. He leads Johnny and Linda out of hell and then rides off in his chariot leaving them in the desert. I laughed so hard cause he’s such an asshole. The dude flows with arrogance but he can back it up. I’m so excited to continue exploring his character and story. This was definitely my favorite issue from these comics that I read for this post.

Ghost Rider #3

(Written by Gary Friedrich and pencilled by Jim Mooney and inked by John Tartag)

I liked how Ghost Rider learned he can create a bike out of hellfire but the moment he transforms back to Johnny he loses it. One thing that sets Johnny apart from other heroes/anti-heroes is the fact that his powers are on a time limit. If it’s the day, he’s screwed cause he’s not invincible but at night he’s almost unstoppable. We get the return of Big Daddy Dawson who kidnaps Rocky (again she gets fucking kidnapped. This is worse than early Spidey comics). Rocky is only around to be saved. This seriously sucks. She has no interesting character traits, she’s a plot device. Oh, wait she’s pure of heart so there’s that. That’s cool right? Johnny gets hurt, again because he’s an idiot who tries to jump a police blockade!? Johnny has to be stupid. He just has to be. He’s hospitalized and Dawson knows this so he takes Rocky to the hospital cause he wants money from Johnny (he is a famous stunt biker so it makes sense that he’d have money). Every issue feels like it’s just retreading the same story over and over. It’s quickly becoming my least favorite book to read. Johnny fights the Devil or other bikers or problematic villains. At least this issue ends with the Nazi biker driving into a fuel tank and exploding. That was the most interesting thing that happened this issue besides GR creating a hellfire bike. Sorry I hate complaining and being negative cause I know it’s not fun to read but I gotta be honest with my feelings. Thanks for reading this post! Next up we’re Adventuring Into Fear!

Imma be real, ever since the ending of onk being linked to the mephisto ed became apparent, I've been thinking about the possibility that both hoshino kids will die at the end. Specifically because of the "sleep well now, children of the stars" line which also sounds like HOSHINO children ykno

Anyway i wouldn't be surprised if ruby commits suicide in the next three chapters, not that i want that to happen ofc :( maybe she wouldn't have pre-reveal (and wow does it make sense now that aqua "wanted" to be disowned by her...) but now that she knows that he was goro?? I think there'll be an attempt at the very least maybe she will meet the cancer girl at the hospital then who knowsss

with  everything  that  was  happening  to  wade , she  was  stunned  at  his  efforts  to  stay  positive  that  they'd  be  able  to  beat  this.  sure  she  had  asked  to  do  so.  but  this  was  CANCER.  no  matter  how  much  she  wanted  to  deny  it ... that  is  what  it  was.  they  all  knew  it.  it  was  just  a  matter  of  coming  to  terms  with  it.

not  so  she  could  start  moving  through  any  stages  of  grief.  fat  chance  she  was  letting  him  leave  this  world  without  her. no , the  sooner  she  accepted  what  was  happening ... the  sooner  she  could  fix  it.  

anya  had  gotten  as  far  as  they  had  in  life ... because  they  lived  the  the  rule  that  everything  had  a  solution.  admitting  there  wasn't  a  solution  had  meant  failure  in  her  eyes  due  to  the  people   who  had  taken  control  of  her  early  upbringing.  failure  wasn't  an  option.  so  she  wasn't  going  to  let  herself  fail  in  finding  the  solution  that  would  keep  wade  right  where  he  belonged.  with  her.

her  hand  closed  around  his  the  second  he  grabbed  for  it.  squeezing  so  he  knew  she  was  there , but  being  careful  to  not  hurt  him.  she  couldn't  only  imagine  where  his  pain  levels  were  at  in  the  moment , on  top  of  what  he  went  through  on  a  day  to  day  basis.  she  could  feel  the  warmth  there.  causing  her  eyes  to  get  a  sheen  of  wetness  over  them  that  she  willed  to  recead  for  his  sake.  he  didn't  need  to  see  anyone  crying  over  him.  especially  her.  all  that  was  going  to  do  was  bring  those  plans  for  his  assumed  death.  ( yeah ... that  whole  accepting  what  was  happening  was  going  so  well. )

" if  that'll  get  the  fuckin  message  across  that  you're  not  goin  anywhere  then  i'd  do  it  in  a  heartbeat. "    she  forced  a  scoff  from  her.  a  smile  to  try  and  convince  him  that  she  was  okay.  who  was  she  kidding.  by  now  he  likely  knew  most  of  her  tells , if  not  all  of  them.  wade  was  one  of  the  only  people  she  had  ever  really  let  in  to  see  her.  her  whole  life  was  kept  behind  a  shield.  waiting  for  the  moment  when  someone  would  come  along  and  try  and  rip  away  what  she  worked  so  hard  to  build.  not  only  had  wade  broken  down  that  shield , but  now  stood  there  beside  her  to  protect  the  beautiful  life  they  built  together.

" we're  gonna  beat  this.  you  and  me.  we  beat  the  fuckin  devil  you  and  i. "    if  they  had  managed  to  get  away  from  mephisto.  beat  the  fabric  of  their  reality  being  torn  apart.  what  was  a  little  cancer  after  that.    " what's  that  thing  you're  always  sayin  before  ya  do  something  especially  badass? "

Before Wade had met Anya, there were approximately two living people that REALLY KNEW the Merc for who he was deep down as a person; one of those people was an OLD, BLIND WOMAN, and the other was HIMSELF.

And really...he was pretty sure Blind Al knew him better than he knew his OWN CHARACTER at times.

Moral flexibility had been his creed for Wade's entire life, and when that was the case though NEEDS MUST, it didn't encourage him to be CLOSE with himself, or introspective. In fact, he filled damn near every SECOND of his life with incessant TALKING, just so he could avoid a chance encounter with his own INNER-PSYCHE.

Being part of a real family was something he'd simply given up on. The closest he'd had since he was a teenager were the two VOICES that inhabited his head...and they were both SHITTY in their own special ways, so even his make-believe familial connections had been GARBAGE.

Hey! Not like we WANNA be here, you dickshit! Quite right...it's not our fault that you're a disappointing manchild.

The company of those voices had never been anything but a reminder of his FAILURES.

Then...he'd met ANYA BARNES. Against all odds, she had found SOMETHING WORTH A DAMN within him...and through them, as well as their family, Wade had been able to see that he hadn't EVER experienced what it was like to feel UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Not until that family.

And now...he was going to repay them all for that love by BECOMING A SOURCE OF GRIEF. Pain. Abandonment.

Given the choice of who he was okay with taking some LIGHT DEGREDATION from, Wade would have MUCH RATHER have Anya dish it out, not a couple of P R I C K S that LITERALLY lived in his head RENT-FREE.

Hearing her tell him to SILENCE his pessimism, he wanted more than anything to FOLLOW THAT ORDER. Anya was quite possibly the only one in the entire multiverse that could have brought him out of his own head at that point, and when he was forced to meet her gaze, he felt like the air in his lungs had been cut off, and all he wanted to do was COMMIT HER FACE TO MEMORY. As though maybe he would stand a chance of finding her in the NEXT LIFE.

He had to put in genuine effort into not allowing more tears to fall down his face after she wiped away the strays that had escaped his eyes. His throat was so tight that it ACHED, and deep down he just wanted to SCREAM into the void until his voice give out.

Rather than causing a RUCKUS with such an action though, he kept his eyes fixated on the love of his life. One of his hands moved up to hold Anya's that they had used to turn his head to face them. His touch was light, but warm, and he tried his best to keep the tremble from his hand as he gave hers a small squeeze.

He didn't know what the ODDS were that Anya could somehow discover the cure to FOUR CANCERS was...but he wanted to believe her so much that he turned a blind eye to the odds and kept his attention only on the assassin that he'd fallen irreversibly in love with.

"I guess watchin' you get into a KNIFE FIGHT with my tumors could at least be entertaining..." Wade's voice DID quiver slightly, but he maintained. He moved to press a kiss to her knuckles, offering a shaky smile in an effort to offer her comfort.

And here's Cancer! For a piece I had to REDO from SCRATCH, I was actually able to get him out way faster than I expected! Was it my prejudice as a fellow crab? Or maybe my disdain for having to draw the same character twice? The world may never know!

Next one, onwards! Banzai!

"It's a long story." For a moment Johnny just stared at the ceiling. It hurt to even think about it but Johnny knew he had to tell her the truth now before she starts thinking he murdered his wife.

"I was sixteen and my life was perfect. My dad and I had a stunt show at the circus." Johnny said. "But then I found out that my dad was dying of lung cancer. My dad was all I had and he was going to die and there was nothing I could do. I was so heartbroken and then, that night there's suddenly this strange man and he tells me that he can heal my dad and all he wants in return was my soul. I know what you're thinking now and you're right. I was stupid. But, fuck. I didn't even believe in the devil and all that shit back then. There was an old lunatic who offered me help while everyone else just told me there's nothing that can be done. I was young, stupid and in despair. So I signed the contract." Johnny sighed.

"As I woke up the next day I thought it all had been nothing but a weird dream. But guess what? My dad was healed from his cancer. The doctors couldn't even explain why. Everything was good again. Dad and I were dreaming about leaving the circus and having our own show. But you know what's the thing about making a deal with the devil? You never get what you want." Johnny paused for a second. "He died in a strange accident during our show. Strange coincidence, hu?" Johnny looked at Roxanne for a second. "I ran away and forgot about the stranger and for about 10 years I was living my dream. I had my own stunt shows, had a wonderful wife and two beautiful children." Johnny swallowed thickly.

"But then he showed up. His name's Mephistopheles. He took my soul and made me the Ghost Rider, the Devil's Bounty Hunter. And here's the part where you start to think I'm completely out of my mind. I fulfilled my part of the pact though not exactly like Mephistopheles wanted to. The devil didn't like that. He offered me my soul back if I give up being the Ghost Rider. I told him to fuck off and told him Id use it to fight him." There was another pause but this time it was a bit longer. "He killed them and it's my fault. He killed them because I..." Johnny was fighting back tears. "I had to watch them die and...Mephisto brought my wife back as one of his demons. He called her Black Rose. She killed innocent people. I...I had to...I...I'm sorry. I need to." Johnny quickly got up and went into the bathroom.
