I WAS gonna do a mini tag ramble about how I honestly think that mark Wouldn't fall asleep in common areas where ashe could see him because of his whole entire bullshit but I still wanted to put it out there because it's cute. But no. Better idea. Mark does NOT let ashe see him pass out all the time because of his whole entire bullshit but that means he spends and absolutely crazy amount of time napping in his workshop area and hanging out in there when he's tired and blah blah blah. Just another facet of Not Being There despite the times whenever he Is physically home.

I think tide dad naps too.

Please imagine tide in his apron passed out in a chair after supper. During movies. On the beach. I think it's rarer for him because he's got that genetically engineered to be a hero crap going on but the pd have pictures posing with him where he's fallen asleep in weird and crazy positions and it's just another one of those things that's known as a fact of living together.

Introduce a long-winded and dancing and romantic and hesitant and quiet and unspoken tidalwave courtship. Not trusting each other with each other's lives but trusting each other with their kids. Making coffee and sipping from both cups to prove there's no poison. Assessing injuries into lingering looks. Sitting closer together. Quietly testing each other and making sure they can actually trust each other and understanding when the other does the same. The kids start nudging each other and talking behind their backs and they ignore them. They don't go on dates and they'll never call each other boyfriends or romantic partners but there is Something growing between them and if they acknowledge it it'll break. Situationship of All time. you understand.

Anyway imagine all of that and then one day tide falls asleep in front of mark. I want to end the post there tbh it feels like a vine boom. Imagine the guy who was literally created to kick your ass and the asses of people like you, who always tracked your movement, who only started showing his back to you after you got irritated and made a whole thing outve showing yours (but never actually talking about it) just. Falls asleep next to you. And you're too wired from that fact alone that you can't sleep at all. And I've gotta go but if I leave this post now I'll never post it so tldr. Imagine them having naps together. Just feeling safe and falling asleep next to each other. IMAGINE THEY DONT FALL ASLEEP AT THE SAME TIME. guarding behaviour they fall into naturally one naps and the other doesn't and they both feel safer because of it!! imagine!!!!

hi it's me again I'm here because I can't get mark winters dad naps out of my brain. I think he's the fuckking king of laying down somewhere and then staying down or a minimum of three hours. asleep at the table. asleep in a chair. asleep on the floor. like on one hand hehe that's such a dad thing to do but on the other hand. The layers. Even when he's home he's not really available. Ashe can like—talk to him a little sometimes (because even then I think the naps would largely be those fuzzy half-concscious half-asleep things where you turn your brain off and drift but he's still like. incapable of truly shutting off. prey animal type sleep) but he tries not to and it's this whole fuckin. Presence vs availability thing combined w safety vs rest vs comfort and the sliding scale of each for both of them and I just think it's tasty
