Three To One

Fandom: Resident Evil Rating: T Characters: Jake Muller, Sherry Birkin

Summary: Sherry is nothing like any of the girls Jake has ever met before. It's too bad he has no idea what to do with that.

A/N: Just a quick oneshot because I love this couple. This is also on AO3 so if you prefer go ahead and read over there (link to my profile is in my header). If you like this please share so others can find it too! Thanks for reading!

◣──•~❉᯽❉~•──◢

Jake is just getting inside his room when his phone buzzes. “Shit,” he mumbles, his arms full of his equipment, which he quickly drops on the bed after kicking the door shut. He pulls his pack around and fishes inside the front pocket for the phone, but it quits its vibrations before he can find it.

He sighs when he finally gets a grip on it, figuring it’s another job. Whether or not it’s one he will actually do remains to be seen: he’s been out of the mercenary business since Liangshang, focusing his work now on BOWs instead of politics. The money isn’t as good, which means he can’t really afford to miss a job, so he sits heavily on the mattress as he snaps the top of the phone up.

Before he can go to his missed calls, a text message pops up. He presses his thumb to the blue square, his eyes widening when Sherry’s name appears at the top. Their last conversation fills the screen until the bottom, where her new message reads: >Call me when you get some time, okay? :D

He clears his throat, rubbing his other palm on his thigh. A quick check confirms it was Sherry’s call he missed, and for a moment he wonders if something is wrong. But she wouldn’t have put a smile emoji at the end of a message if something was wrong, right? Jake frowns and rubs the back of his head. His experience with women does not include the kind that use emojis.

Deciding to call her back in a few minutes, he stands and starts to put his gear away. He has two more nights in the little hotel room before he needs to move on, the latest mission now complete. Jake sits at the little table and takes apart his guns, cleaning them thoroughly and trying not to think about his cell phone sitting on his bed. Every once in a while he glances over, wondering if Sherry is waiting for him. No way she is, but she wants to talk to him. What if it’s urgent?

He sets the last gun aside and walks over to the bed, looking down at the screen. It stares back blankly, stubbornly refusing to reveal the real reason Sherry called. Maybe she just wanted to check on him, although something in him doubts it. Sherry knows he can take care of himself, and he hadn’t given her the details of the pack of zombie wolves that were spotted around the mountain towns. If she had known, she probably would have insisted on sending him backup, which Jake didn’t need. What he needed was the commission from getting rid of the shitstains.

Jake curses under his breath and goes back to his pack, finishing putting away the guns and ammo and taking stock of the rest. One of his blades was snapped in the hunt, getting stuck in a tree when he was trying to cut some branches. Other than that he is in pretty good shape, so he decides a shower is next on the agenda.

Yet he finds himself racing through his wash. Usually after killing he likes to stand under the water, turned as hot as it will go, and watch the dirt and blood circle the drain and take away whatever shit was clogging up his brain along with the grime from hunting. It was a ritual from his mercenary days, although now that he isn’t targeting humans anymore, there isn’t any guilt to sit like a hot rock in his stomach.

The ritual is put aside for a fast, lukewarm shower, and once he is clean he pulls on a pair of sweatpants and sits on the bed, barely long enough for his tall frame. His skin is damp as he lays back on the pillow and picks up his phone, taking a deep breath before dialing Sherry’s number. They’ve talked loads of times, keeping in touch in these months since China. She helped him get some contacts to start working, and in return he does some side work for the DSO, tracking sightings and sending back information on request. They usually text or email job details and some pleasantries, but he and Sherry don’t usually talk. But they have a few times, so this shouldn’t feel so nerve-wracking.

His stomach flips when she answers. “Jake, is that you?”

Her cheery voice doesn’t set him at ease like he had hoped. “Yeah. Everything okay?”

“Absolutely. Those specs you sent last week were perfect. The higher ups are pretty pleased.” She takes a breath before asking, “Are you still in Belarus?”

Jake clears his throat. “No, actually. I’m in Romania.”

“Romania? You didn’t tell me you were heading somewhere.” She doesn’t sound hurt, just surprised, and he has an apology rising on his tongue when she continues, “That actually works out better.”

“Better?”

“Yeah. Do you have a few days you can take off? I could use your help with something.”

“Yeah! I mean—yeah.” Trying not to sound too eager, he switches the phone to the other ear. “What, uh… is it a job?”

“No,” she replies. “Well, I’ll be working, sort of. Can you meet me in Greece?”

Jake glances around. One of the things the DSO had helped with was a proper passport, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Once he gets paid he’ll have enough for a ticket. But if it’s not for a job, then what? “Want to clue me in on where we’re going?”

Sherry laughs, and heat flares on his neck. “I’m going to a conference and could use a friend. I hate going to these things by myself. I’ll send you the info, okay? It starts Tuesday.”

“A conference?”

“Most governments will have reps there. The DSO is sending a few teams and I was chosen to go. Are you in?”

He nods. “Okay. I mean, I can meet you. And uh… thanks, I guess. For thinking of me.”

“Yeah, it’ll be fun!” Sherry sounds excited, which makes him smile. “I’ll email you right now. See you in a few days!”

True to her word, Sherry sends the information for a hotel in Xanthi, and for the rest of the evening he looks up everything he can about the city. It’s on the seaside, like pretty much everywhere worth going, lots of restaurants and beaches and the usual tourist fare. The conference is at the university in town, some kind of networking thing for international organizations in the bioterrorism game. Makes sense that the DSO would have a presence there, although he doesn’t know if that’s good or bad.

He hasn’t been to Greece, and he wonders if he’ll stick out. Jake glances over where his boots sit on the floor, his dark cargo pants slung over the chair. He doesn’t exactly have anything to wear to a conference either. With a groan he closes the laptop and sinks down, regretting agreeing to go. Bioweapons he can handle. Making nice with suits is an actual challenge.

◣──•~❉᯽❉~•──◢

The flight is cheap and blessedly short. He had to make a stop at one of his storage units to drop a lot of his gear: can’t exactly get on a plane with a grappling hook. He does check a gun just in case, feeling almost naked without it while they are in the air.

He stands with his backpack on at the baggage claim, watching impatiently for his case. Just as he spots it he hears his name, and Jake turns to see Sherry’s blonde mop in the crowd, heading towards him. He hesitates, not knowing if he should go to her or grab the case, and ends up doing neither, frozen as he watches it roll by and around the other side.

“Jake! You made it!” she calls.

“You didn’t have to meet me.”

He turns towards her voice when he finds himself in a tight hug. Sherry barely makes it to his chin, so she goes on tiptoe to put her arms around his neck, catching him in surprise. Jake’s eyes go wide when she leans up and plants a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Alarm bells are blaring in his head. He puts his hand on her waist and pulls back as she sinks down on her heels. “Hey, uh…” Jake shakes his head to clear it, still feeling her soft lips and the sticky bit of her chapstick on his skin. “Hi.”

“Hi yourself.” Sherry grins up at him. “Is this all you brought?”

“No, my case—shit. Wait here.” He turns and hurries over to the turnstile, jogging a bit around to the other side when he spots his case. “Excuse me,” he mutters as he nudges his way through the other passengers, grabbing it and hauling it from the moving ramp with a thud.

The noise snaps him out of his daze. Jake looks up to see Sherry wave, and he realizes she just kissed him. Not a real kiss or anything, but…

He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Bioweapons are way easier than this.

◣──•~❉᯽❉~•──◢

Jake sits half-slouched in his chair, drumming his fingers on the table as he sneaks glances at Sherry. The conference is hosting a dinner, and he’s there as Sherry’s “plus-one”, whatever that’s supposed to mean. The past two days as she’s attended meetings he’s mostly been exploring the city, unused to the lack of action and the happy crowds of tourists. Part of him itches to get back to the field, but it ended up being worth it to go to this event.

The place is nice, and even though he isn’t wearing anything fancy Sherry had assured him a black shirt and pants would be fine. She is in a dress, the first time he’s ever seen her in one, and he’d be lying if it didn’t take him by surprise. This is only the second time since their first adventure together that they’ve seen each other; the first was not long after they first went their own ways, when she met him in Germany to help get him set up as a special contractor for the DSO. It had been weird to see her again after everything they went through, almost awkward.

This time things seemed different. Sherry was genuinely happy to see him, and it put him at ease despite being around so many people. Jake had learned her original travel partner got sick, so even though he didn’t have a pass to the conference he could use the hotel room. Suited him fine anyway: sitting in a room listening to people talk sounded like torture. In the evening they’d have dinner and hang out as she told him about the people she met and he would give little stories about the residents he met in the city, swapping stories about missions and their backgrounds.

Spending time with Sherry was nice. More than nice, amazing actually. She was just so different from the women he used to know, intelligent and funny and mature despite her youthful looks. Jake was starting to dread the end of this conference and splitting up again—that is, until she showed up for dinner in that damn dress.

He can’t stop glancing over, and luckily Sherry is absorbed in the keynote speech to notice. His eyes keep falling to her neck and tracing her exposed shoulders, the little straps leading to a sweetheart neckline that makes his throat tight. It’s not that he’s never thought of Sherry that way—God knows he’s had plenty of thoughts—but she is so out of his league that having her so close, the memory of her kiss on his mouth, makes it almost impossible to sit still.

Thank god this conference was almost over. Like dangling a sandwich in front of a starving man.

Her hair is longer now, and she tucks it behind an ear as he watches, the little hoop in her earlobe catching his eye. She is wearing some kind of cherry and jasmine perfume that smells like heaven, and when she shifts and crosses her legs, his eyes dart down to the shapely calf that leads to a pair of nude heels.

He pushes his chair back and Sherry glances over. “You okay?” she mouths.

Jake nods. “Just need a drink,” he whispers.

She chuckles at that, her smile warm. “This isn’t the most exciting thing, I know. We’ll get something after, okay?”

Her wink makes him feel stupid for saying anything. “Yeah,” he mutters, sitting back in his chair.

The speaker finally wraps up and the emcee once more takes the stage. He announces dinner will be served shortly, but before that, “We have an award to give,” he says. “Our organization wishes to recognize those that have given exemplary service in the field of anti-bioterrorism.”

They clap politely as he opens an envelope. “This year we recognize Sherry Birkin from the Division of Security Operations. Ms. Birkin, can you please join me up here?”

Jake looks in surprise over at Sherry, who seems just as bewildered. She turns to him with a laugh, standing as the crowd starts to clap. “I had no idea,” she says to Jake.

“Well go up there,” he huffs impatiently.

She nods and quickly stands, weaving through the tables towards the stage. Jake watches as she walks up the steps at the side, and when she arrives at the podium the emcee hands her a small plaque and guides her to the microphone. He smiles as he claps along with the others, feeling a strange sense of pride. None of these people probably have any idea how good Sherry really is but him.

“Um, thank you so much,” Sherry says once the applause dies down. “I had no idea that I would be receiving this recognition. It means a lot…”

Her voice fades as she squints into the audience. Jake frowns and turns, trying to see what she is looking at. There are figures advancing from the back of the room, and the way they move instantly sets off alarm bells just as Sherry yelps, “Everyone, quick! Run!”

Her words are barely heard as gunshots erupt. Panic breaks out as people start to scream and run, the dark figures aiming guns at the escaping attendees and pushing through the crowd. Jake moves, jumping over his chair and sliding around the table to get to the stage. A figure in black fatigues approaches with a handgun and he grabs it and yanks, pulling him off his feet. They struggle for a moment before Jake delivers a series of punches, leaving the figure groaning and unmoving on the ground.

In the corner of his eye he can see people rushing the stage, so he yanks the gun from the assailant’s hands and spins. Two people are dragging Sherry away, both with weapons, as she struggles against their grip. The rest of the room is in mayhem with chairs and tables everywhere, people still shouting as they run for the exits. No one seems to be hurt, however; is it possible this is all just to grab Sherry?

Jake aims the gun and fires at the nearest gunman, hitting him in the chest and sending him to the ground. He takes off in a sprint towards the stage and is met with two more figures, one of which he shoots and the other dispatched with a broken arm and a fist to the jaw. Sherry is gone, but there is commotion behind the curtains, so he leaps up onto the platform and bolts backstage.

There is a long, dark hallway, and he squints in the dim light. Footsteps stomp up ahead, and he hears Sherry’s voice. “Let go of me, asshole!”

“Grab her!”

Jake races ahead and a gunshot goes off. His arm explodes in pain, making him stumble and crash into the wall. He grips his bleeding bicep and looks up to see Sherry struggling with one of the men. The other is on the floor at their feet. Jake grits his teeth against the pain and steps towards them, but Sherry grabs the gun and pulls hard before going down into a crouch to trip him onto the ground. Once he is down she rips the rifle from his hands and hits him between the eyes, the body going still.

She gives him a little kick before swiping her hair out of her eyes. “Jerk,” she mutters.

“Sherry?”

Jake’s voice catches her attention. Incredibly, she smiles, as if she wasn’t nearly just kidnapped and took out two armed men, and slings the rifle over her shoulder before hurrying to him. “Jake!” she cries. “I’m so sorry.”

“What are you apologizing for?” he growls. He narrows his eyes at the two on the ground. “Who are they?”

“I don’t know yet. We gotta get out of here.” She grabs his arm and he hisses, and Sherry frowns when she pulls back her hand to find it red. “Are you hurt? Jake!”

“It’s fine. Come on, there’s gotta be an exit.”

They make their way down the hall to a room at the end, thankfully empty. They continue through the dark and empty rooms, easily slipping back into their former roles as Jake takes point and Sherry follows. More gunshots are heard on the other side of the building, and within minutes there are sirens outside and the sound of a helicopter overhead. “Guess word got out,” he says.

“Bunch of amateurs,” she mutters, and when Sherry follows her assessment with a snort, Jake can’t help but grin.

They turn a corner and run into three more. Neither waste any time as Jake takes out the first one as Sherry gets the second. The third retreats and they follow, chasing him along the hallway until he crashes through a door with an exit sign overhead.

Moments later they reach the door and once through it they find themselves in a little pathway between buildings. “Come on,” she says, and Jake follows as she jogs back towards the entrance.

There are police squads there already, the attendees mulling around the ambulances and several of the assailants being marched out in handcuffs. Police turn and start shouting orders, and Jake follows Sherry’s lead when she puts her hands up. “Sherry Birkin, DSO,” she calls.

They are briefly taken into custody and questioned, but when it’s clear that they aren’t with the group—and that Sherry might have been the target—they are given medical attention after handing over their weapons. Sherry is fine other than some bruises, but Jake sits on the back of an ambulance as a nurse gives him stitches when she finds him again.

“Had to give like a hundred statements, but they’re letting us go,” she says as she walks up. “How are you holding up?”

“Just a graze. I’ll live. They were terrible shots.”

“They were, weren’t they?” she agrees, then starts to laugh.

Jake joins her but stiffens a bit as the nurse finishes the last stitch. “Watch it,” he growls, and she shoots him a look before packing up her gear. Once she’s gone, Jake stretches his shoulder, testing how sore his arm is.

“You good?” Sherry asks.

“I’ve had worse.”

She steps up to take a look, and Jake swallows when her fingers pull back the ruined sleeve of his shirt so she can assess the stitches. “Not too bad,” she murmurs. “Need gauze?”

“Nah, I got it.” But he doesn’t move as her touch slides gently over his arm, the skin tender and raw under her fingertip.

When she leans in and gives a soft blow of air across the cut, he jumps. “What’re you doing?” he exclaims.

Sherry smiles. “I remember when I was growing up, my dad would take me to the park sometimes. Not often, but when he did I would always get hurt somehow.” She leans in and blows again across the wound. “One time I needed stitches, and since he was a scientist he knew how to do it. Afterwards he would blow on my skin and give a kiss to make it feel better.”

Somehow it does feel a bit better, but the closeness starts to make Jake sweat. “Yeah,” he says lamely.

She replaces the sleeve and leans up to kiss his cheek. Jake jerks back in surprise, his mouth falling open as she laughs again. “Come on, let’s get out of here,” she says.

◣──•~❉᯽❉~•──◢

It’s their final day in Greece, both having flights the next morning back to where they came from. They spend the better part of the day at the police station giving more information, and then Sherry has a video conference with the DSO. Turns out the party crashers were a group for hire after Sherry after all, although what organization was behind it remained to be seen. From what they gathered from the investigation they were paid in cash for a kidnap, and didn’t know who was behind the broker.

Sherry is a bit deflated when she gets off the call. “Looks like I’ll be grounded for a bit when I get back,” she sighs. Jake looks over from where he stands at the window, watching people walking below the hotel. “Until they find out who is after me, anyway. Probably for my stupid blood.”

She rubs her arm and Jake tries to think of something to say. He’s in the same kind of boat, carrying around antibodies he didn't ask for. Somebody at any time could decide they wanted a piece of either of them, and not for the first time he curses how unfair it all is, the two of them victims of their fathers' stupid ambitions.

But as always, Sherry takes a deep breath and puts on a smile. "Do you want a drink?" she asks. "I'm dying for a drink."

"You think that's a good idea?"

He raises his brows but Sherry nods. "Yeah. Did you find a bar during your travels?"

They end up at a little pub not far from the hotel that is thankfully small and free of tourists. They take a table and Jake orders two beers, but Sherry shakes her head. "We're in Greece, we're doing ouzo," she insists.

That makes him laugh. "You ever have it? It's pretty strong."

"I can handle it," she says. "Trust me."

The corner of his mouth goes up as he nods. "Yeah, okay. Whatever you say."

It's a great night, better than the others in Greece. It seems like there’s always a million things to share with her, and Sherry is warm and funny and laughs at his lame jokes. Jake thinks he could spend all night here, talking to her like this, but they are barely a bottle in when Sherry starts getting tipsy. "You better slow down," Jake warns her.

"No way," she huffs, pointing a finger at him before she downs another shot. "I'm totally fine."

She pours some more, sloshing a bit on her fingers. "Right," he says dryly.

"You're the one who's hurt," Sherry points out. "If anyone should be taking it easy, it's you."

Jake shakes his head. "I've had a hell of a lot worse than this. Plus this ouzo stuff is nothing."

"Right," she mimics.

"Do you have any other life or death experiences in the works before we leave tomorrow?" he asks. "Because I gotta say, you're two for three now."

Sherry snorts, nearly choking on her drink. "I swear I'm boring! I don't ever get to see that much action. Unless I'm with you."

The comment is innocent, but Jake laughs. "So I'm the only action you're getting, huh?"

Immediately he regrets the joke, his ears burning as she sits up and looks at him in shock. "Jake Muller!" she exclaims. "Are you flirting with me?"

"No," he quickly says.

"You are!" she exclaims. "You're flirting. Wow, I never would have expected it."

"I'm not flirting," he insists.

"Well why not?"

Sherry pouts and he frowns at her. "Huh?"

"You're just... so damn..." Sherry shakes her head and pours another drink, knocking it back before slamming the glass on the table. "So damn respectful."

Respectful is not a word that Jake would ever have put near his name, and he chuckles. "You're drunk."

"I am not."

"Right. And I'm not flirting. Or respectful."

Sherry gives him a slow smile, leaning forward with her elbows on the table. Jake raises his brows, wondering what she's thinking, her eyes bright and shining and her cheeks slightly pink. This is definitely the first time he's seen her inebriated, and Jake suddenly wonders if he's in over his head. "You are respectful," she murmurs. "You haven't tried to kiss me once. Why not?"

"What?"

"Why haven't you ever kissed me? Don't you want to?"

Jake huffs a laugh, rubbing his neck. "All right, I'm cutting you off."

"Hey!"

"And we should get back. It's not exactly safe out here for you."

Sherry pouts, but when he stands she lets him pull her to her feet. "I'm fine as long as I'm with you," she mumbles.

The walk back to the hotel is slower than it should be, as Sherry holds onto him to stay mostly upright. "Wow, you're not drunk at all?" she exclaims, looking up at him.

"Probably because I'm not so tiny," he replies.

"I'm not tiny. I'm tall." Sherry yawns and leans her head on his arm, wrapping both of hers around his. "I'm glad you're here. Who knows what would have happened if you weren't."

"I don't know about that," Jake replies. "You took care of those two on your own. You can kick ass better than most mercenaries."

She finds that hilarious, pressing her face into his shirt. "I do kick ass. Tell that to the DSO. I can kick anyone's ass."

They reach the hotel and Jake helps her to the elevator, and then into her room. Sherry sighs and kicks off her shoes, but doesn't bother with anything else as she slides against the mattress. "You leaving?" she mumbles into the blanket.

"Can't exactly stay here," he says.

She sits up and looks at him. There is only the light from the street outside streaming in the window, as neither had bothered with a lamp. She looks sweet and innocent like this, sitting with her hands behind her on the bed, but her gaze is anything but as she stares at him. Jake's throat goes dry as she blinks at him. "You could, you know."

"Could what?"

"Stay. Want to?"

His heart beats wildly in his chest. Of course the answer is yes, about a thousand times yes, but she's drunk and he's unprepared and Jake knows this would be a huge, colossal mistake, the best mistake of his life. He walks towards her and Sherry looks up, her hair falling back on her shoulders as her lips part.

He strokes her cheek as he makes his decision. "Next time," he says. "I promise."

Sherry opens her mouth to say something, but then she reaches up and grabs his shirt. She's stronger than he expected, and he follows her tug down until her lips seal over his. Jake freezes, letting her kiss him slowly, their mouths remaining chaste as she tilts slightly to slot against his lower lip.

Just a few seconds and then he is easing away, and Sherry sighs and lays back. "Okay," she says sleepily, rolling over. "Next time. I'm too sleepy now."

Jake swallows thickly, watching her for a minute, and when he hears her breathing even he makes a quick escape to go lay awake and curse himself the rest of the night.

◣──•~❉᯽❉~•──◢

A terrible noise wakes Sherry from a sound sleep, and it takes her a minute to realize it’s her phone. Wincing against the sunlight streaming into her room, she runs her hand along the bed until it bumps the case, and she swipes the call button and brings it to her ear without moving. “Hello?” she mumbles.

“Sherry? It’s Hannigan. You all right?”

“Yeah.” She takes a moment to assess and realize that she is all right, for the most part. “Had a bit to drink last night,” she continues. “What’s going on?”

“Your flight is moved up to this afternoon. There’s an FBI agent who is going to accompany you back to New York.”

“Great.” Sherry rolls to her side, half expecting to see Jake on the other end of the bed. Did she really ask him to stay, or was that a dream? “Anything else?”

“Nope. Have a safe flight.”

Sherry hangs up without saying goodbye and turns to lay on her back. As she studies the ceiling she runs the night before through her head, cringing at the way she flirted with Jake and insisted that he do the same. Groaning, she remembers asking him to say, demanding to know why he didn’t flirt. He had taken offense to being called respectful, and then she had kissed him? Sherry winces again as she buries her face in the pillow, her cheeks flaring with heat.

What is wrong with her? There is no way that Jake is interested; if he was, he would have made a move long ago. Plus, she is a DSO agent at a conference, not on a single’s vacation. Not to mention it would break like forty rules at the agency. Not to mention they don’t even live in the same hemisphere. Not to mention she is ninety-nine percent sure she’s not the type of girl an ex-mercenary would go for. Not to mention she invited him to a conference and almost got him killed.

Not exactly girlfriend material. They’re friends, nothing more, as long as she hasn’t ruined things.

Probably not, knowing him; Sherry wasn’t exaggerating when she called him respectful. She hauls herself from her bed and takes a quick shower before getting dressed and packing her things. Her phone beeps with her new itinerary, and as she makes herself coffee in the room she debates on what to say to Jake.

By the time she’s ready she’s running a bit behind, so Sherry decides not to think as she wheels her suitcase behind her into the hallway. She turns to head to Jake’s room to say goodbye but is surprised to see him in the hallway as well, pulled up short with his pack on his back and carrying his case.

“Hey,” she says.

“Hey.”

Sherry swallows and nods to his case. “You heading out?”

“Yeah. I got a job and need to catch a train. I was going to come say goodbye…”

She looks down at her own suitcase. “My flight was changed. I’m heading out now too.”

“Should we walk down together then?”

Sherry smiles in surprise and nods. “Yeah. Absolutely.”

It’s quiet on the ride down the elevator. Occasionally she glances over and up, trying to assess his mood, but Jake wears the same stoic expression he always does. He doesn’t seem mad or anything, so maybe things aren’t as weird as she had imagined they would be?

They each check out and head through the lobby to the taxi stand. Her heart is beating wildly, wondering what to say. This could be the last goodbye they have for a while, and up until this morning she had figured she’d try to make some tentative plans. That was before she threw herself at him, though.

The doorman steps out to find her a taxi when Jake turns to her. She notices the sweat on his brow as he says, “Listen, about last night—”

“No! No, that was…” Sherry laughs nervously as she waves her hand. “You were right. I cannot handle my ouzo. I’m so sorry.”

“It’s fine. It was…” Jake gives a long sigh. “I didn’t want you to be upset.”

“I’m not! As long as you’re not?” He shakes his head and her shoulders slump in relief. “Good. Then let’s just forget about it. And don’t let me near ouzo anymore.”

He opens his mouth as a taxi pulls up, and Sherry looks over as the doorman opens the passenger side door. “This is me,” she says. “Thanks for coming… I know it wasn’t what we expected, but it was good to have company. Your company.”

Jake seems a bit bewildered, so she gives him a quick, awkward hug before turning to the car. But his hand on her arm stops her, and Sherry feels him tug her backwards until his arms fold around her and his mouth covers hers.

It’s nothing like the kiss last night: the respectful Jake who had remained still as she drunkenly tried to kiss him is gone, replaced by this Jake who knows exactly what he’s doing. His lips slide along hers as they fall open, his tongue quickly dipping inside to taste her as she gasps. She feels his palms against her lower back, his fingers spreading along her backside, and she grips his shirt to tug him closer before returning the kiss. It’s hot and passionate and leaves Sherry a bit dizzy when he dives in for round two.

Her lips feel almost swollen when he pulls away. His expression is the same, just a bit softer, and Sherry bites her lower lip as if to remember the feeling of his on hers.

The doorman clears his throat and Jake shoots him a look. “Relax,” he snaps before turning back to gaze at Sherry. “I meant it,” he says. “Last night. Next time, okay?”

“Yeah.” He lets her go slowly and she steps back, her throat dry and chest tight. “Next time.”

Jake gives her a smile and turns to walk down the street, and Sherry watches him go before she quickly jumps into the taxi, wracking her brain to try to remember what he promised for next time.

Resident Evil Sexuality / Identity Headcanons, part 2

Ingrid Hunnigan

Lesbian / Female

Hunnigan is a strong headed lesbian that falls under the more masculine side but still identifies as female

Any time Leon tried to flirt with her in the beginning, she wanted to jab in his face but couldn't because he was in a different location

The only reason Leon stopped was because Hunnigan made the small joke after one of his flirts saying, "I pull more girls than you without all the stupid pick up lines"

Jake Muller

??????

It must be a Wesker thing because Jake confuses me as well

From one point of view I think "There really isn't enough screen time between him and any other character other than Sherry or Chris, who Jake clearly has a rivalry with"

From the other I think "But there's a chance he's queer of some kind"

But I honestly don't know...

Jill Valentine

Lesbian / Non-binary

You cannot tell me that Mx. Valentine is not a lesbian that doesn't identify as a specific gender

Like, c'mon, LOOK AT THEM

That was theirs and Chris' bonding in S.T.A.R.S. was both of them finding out they were attracted to opposite genders and Jill being non-binary

That's why they're both tight with each other because gays protect each other, it's a code

Karl Heisenberg

GAY / Male

If you think Heisenberg is straight, you are fucking mental

The part of his greatest plan of getting his revenge on Mother Miranda(r) that he didn't tell Ethan was trying to win his heart and running away with him, CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

The moment Heisenberg saw Ethan, he thought, "I'mma make this bitch mine"

Leon Kennedy

(I love him and his stupid food-loving ass)

Bisexual / TRANSGENDER (female-to-male)

Leon's bisexuality has a preference, a preference for men, Ada is his only exception otherwise, he'd be gay

He's SO TRANS, it baffles my mind how much transness oozes off of him

Leon's flirting isn't to necessarily gain a female's attraction but more-so just because it boosts his ego just a bit because he knows he's hot

Piers Nivans

GAY / TRANSGENDER (female-to-male)

Riddle me this, Batman... have you, in your entire life, met ANYONE with the name Piers?

Doubt it, Piers rats out his identity faster than a bullet from his sniper

Also, he's SO in love with Chris, it's so fucking obvious

I said it once and I'll say it again, FRIENDS DON'T LOOK AT FRIENDS THE WAY PIERS LOOKS AT CHRIS

Rebecca Chambers

Aroace / Non-binary

I never remember Rebecca ever trying to gain anyone's attraction on purpose and actually kind of avoided it

They had love for people, but never romantic, they looked at Chris like he was a big brother and not a potential boyfriend

They didn't even show any attraction to Billy, who was more than nice to them while my dumbass was wishing I was getting saved by Billy every 20 seconds

Also, Rebecca being non-binary just clicks in my brain a certain way that works for me

Rosemary Winters

Pansexual / Genderfluid

Rose doesn't quite understand why it should matter who you're attracted to and even got into a few arguments about it

Being born from someone that had a virus also fucked up her genes pretty good, they were born female but their puberty process and mental gender never matched

They never blamed their dad for the weirdness of going through puberty but they did find it a bit annoying

Sherry Birkin

Straight / Transgender (male-to-female)

Sherry started her transition really early and didn't even realize what it was until she was in her 20s

It was also William that helped her be comfortable with herself even as a kid, because Annette sure wasn't about to

Leon made sure that she was okay with herself as well whenever he saw her

Sherry was able to twist her words to be able to get surgeries from the government for free, making excuses that missions would be hard if she didn't have the right kind of body

Sheva Alomar

Bisexual / Female

Sheva also has a bisexual preference, she prefers women over men

Not to say there's only one guy keeping her bi but she's threatened past boyfriends with it, makes her laugh every time

She definitely had a crush on both Chris and Jill in the beginning but it calmed down when she had to actually work with them (mainly Chris)

Steve Burnside

(I RAN OUT OF FUCKING PICTURES OF USE IN THIS STORY AND HE'S THE LAST CHARACTER FUCK!!!)

Bisexual / Transgender (female-to-male)

I think we can all agree that there was definitely something queer with Steve in all versions of him

Steve doesn't have a specific preference and is kind of a hopeless romantic

The sad thing about Steve that kinda separates him from the other trans characters here is that he never got a full transition before he died 🥲

Did I ads that part to make people feel sad for him again? Yes I did because I genuinely liked his character

💕my fave female girlie is probably ada, i cant believe her and leon are both goth and trans

❤️oh god fave male girlie is very hard but ill try and chose a top three 1) ethan winters bc he is my wife 2) parker luciani and 3) albert wesker i love men so much aaaaaaaa i wish they were real

👀first got into resident evil when i watched 8-bit ryan play the re2 remake and then re7 in 2019-ish i believe, but as for when i got autistic about it, that was in around maybe march-april of this year (2023) when i hacked my ds and played revelations. i fell in love with parker and he became my husband

🎮fave main game HAS to be 7 bc a) ethan winters (my wife) b) i LOVE the outlast insp behind that game SO MUCH IM SO AUTISTIC ABOUT OUTLAST GRHA and c) scares the everloving shit out of me (as a horror game should)

🕹️revelations for the 3ds bc im gay, and also its the first resi game i’ve actually ever played, and also IT WAS SO FUCKJNG GOOD LIKE WHY DID CAPCOM NEVER DO ANOTHER 3DS PORT THAT SHIT WENT SO HARD WAAAAA

💥probably has to be either re6 or revelations 2. i havent played to much of either game but re6 is shit bc a) wesker has a son (?????? wesker is clearly a RAGING homosexual i refuse to even ACKNOWLEDGE jakes existence) b) feels like its built to played 2 player (i dont have friends who own the game or have the hardware to play it) and c) I DO NIT LIKE JAKE MULLER I WANT TO CREMATE HIM other than that the over the top goofiness is really fun to watch but not so much to play. as for revelations 2, the story and mechanics seem fine like really ok but i cant get past the beginning section with the fire spitter thing bc again, the game feels like its not meant for a single player experience

👹counting wesker, ethan, and heisenberg as b.o.w.s bc like they are but if we talking actual monsters with like 1 braincell between all of them then i wanna say the hunters or cerberus’ bc they are so silly or the giant plaga salamander bc it is also so silly

👑hobo trash magneto obviously, i fucking love old men with strength and chub but i do not like his voice, they 100% chose the wrong va for him bc he just sounds like elvis if he was a weatherman, other than that 10/10 but im going to dunk him in clorox, i think he moght need it

😇MY WIFE ETHAN THEY CUT HIM SHORT HE DIDNT HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT AND THIS ALSO ENDS REALLY ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WINTERS’ AND MAYBE EVEN THE MOLD ALL TOGETHER AND I HATE IT WAAAAAAAAAAAAA

🚨probably. i think mia is actually a cool character like is she fucked up? yeah but i love men that have done worse so eh. i also think jessica is ok bc shes kinda a girlboss, she doesnt care if she gets hypothermia from the one WHOLE leg out of her suit and honestly? bad bitch behavior. she needs to keep slaying

📺GOD YES I DO! they are all so goofy and over the top, especially vendetta. i love watching them with my friends on a call and then we all yell about leon or chris’ ass lmao

⭐️weskie☺️☺️☺️☺️ he is (in my hc anyways) the silliest but most traumatized gay autistic creature i have ever seen and i want to give him a bowl of soup or smthn. that or let him experiment on me haha

💎im very casual usually, but if an achievement is easy to get i will 100% go out of my way to try and get it. i like difficulty but not so much that i want to yell and throw my mouse and keyboard/ds/steamdeck/other device

🔮i hope we get more mold content and mia content if she’s still alive (idk if she is tbh) i can pray but ik ethan wont be coming back :( something else that would be interesting would be a return of wesker, and seeing how his and chris’ dynamic has probably changed now that chris is like trying to embody his style idk

📖ofc i do im autistic but it comes in sections bc of just how much there is. so at first it was just really focused on chris and leon, then wesker and revelations, then homestuck and resi combined, and now im hyperfixated on 7 and 8 bc ethan is my wifey

💍multiple faves tbh, chrisker (chris/wesker), chreon (chris/leon), wintersberg (ethan/heisenberg), and mithan (mia/ethan (t4t couple of the century tbh (really only super into it when its boiled down to ethan being “i love my wife :)” or “i miss my wife :(“)))

🦠kind of, i definitely fucking LOVE the mold so much bc that shit really gets my brain terribly scared like omg, snd the t-abyss is very silly to me, i wish got more of it.

🌎i went down this rabbithole of self inserts (not ocs that are vaguely tied to me) when i was in 5th grade and not dojng that shit again, learned my lesson on how much shame that would bring future me

🎨occasionally, i do art of the characters some times but still have yet to post any writing about it

🪄either bringing ethan back to life or removing jake from existence bc i fuckign hate him

🔪if theres an option for stealth, i like snipers and silenced weapons but if i know i have to go guns blazing its 100% a shotty for me

😈wesker i love him so much he did so much wrong but he has childhood trauma and his ass is really tight i dont think it was on purpose/ref

🏆revelations for the 3ds!

✏️”ive sent my right hand to dispose of you.” “youre right hand comes off?” i cant believe they removed that its a fucking tragedy

⏰parker luciani, hes only appeared in one game and then a manga and thats it, i need to see more of british itallian ass, if i dont i’ll DIE

Send me an emoji!

O’DEATH ! WON’T YOU SPARE ME OVER ‘TIL ANOTHER YEAR?.

HELLO EVERYBODY! my name is nia & this is my revamped blog for my DEATH KNIGHT CHAMPION by the name of NYLNYSA RAPIDSTAR, originally estab on 04.30.18 . here, you will find the mobile links to my , interest tracker, the bio and rules for my muse, also a mobile version of fully typed out verses . i would ask you please don’t follow me if depictions of gore, horror and or fear make you uncomfortable as nylnysa’s source material uses these themes heavily. with that being said, this blog is strictly 18+ for both muns & muses as the subject material here can be quite grim. i would ask if you would please DO NOT treat my muse like a zombie. while she is re-animated, her nature is closer to a vampire than a shambling corpse. this character is heavily associated with my arthas blog @mournbladed EXCLUSIVES: @redactar ( leon s. kennedy ) , @nichtmeinvater ( jake muller ) @drearyknight ( albert wesker )

QUICK VERSE CHEAT SHEET! *

( verses without descriptions will default into crossover verse for now )

MAIN - WORLD OF WARCRAFT*

THE EBONBLADE has been called upon again , this time to the realm of death itself to save azeroth from its icy grip. emerging from the fog that shields acherus from the world , nylnysa leads her kin into uncharted lands. ( faction alignment: night fae )

ALL WORLDS HAIL DEATH - CROSSOVER*

HE PLANET of azeroth is rich and ripe with magic . it’s leylines run deep and at times create tears within space, time, and reality itself. interested in finding a new way to empower the shards of frostmourne, an artifact weapon wielded by her former master arthas, nyl slips through one such tear into a new world.

WRAITH QUEEN - RESIDENT EVIL*

Nylinda Laurier was a biologist from New Orleans, who set out on an expedition to study the polar bear population of Antarctica, in nineteen-ninety-eight. On her very first and last visit to the frozen wasteland, the expedition was disrupted by an emergency alert warning them of an active outbreak at an ice shelf a few cliques away from where she and her research team were stationed. Instructed to take shelter at their base until the situation was resolved in case the chaos were to spread, their work came to a screeching halt. It would be a couple days before the danger would pass, but once they were approved to resume their study, Nylinda was as eager as ever to get out onto the field. Though her team expressed that they should most likely exercise caution and return to the states as soon as possible, Nyl brushed them off believing the danger had passed. It was merely waiting to rear its head again. Resume

HAUNT YOU - LEAGUE OF LEGENDS*

BEING BORN INTO MAGIC in the kingdom of demacia was no blessing. when nylnysa’s parents realized their daughter’s natural affinity for magic, they attempted to hide her by having her suppress her gift. while she was forbidden to use it, she was unable to resist the organic pull the arcane had on her. it was merely a matter of time before she was eventually caught by authorities, while using her magical abilities when she had thought no one was looking. seeing her power to create spectral weapons at will as useful, nyl was given the choice to remain practicing magic on the condition she become a mageseeker. agreeing to this as it was the only way to keep her parents who had hidden her from undergoing state punishment, nyl began her career within the taskforce. many years later, while pursuing a mage the unlikely pairing fell in love, keeping the affair a secret. nyl eventually grew ill with a life threatening sickness that she could not defeat and in his panic to save her, the mage cast an experimental spell meant to revive her. Though it was successful, it was not in the way he anticipated. nylnysa was risen as a banshee, trapped between the living and the dead. it was an agony unimaginable that consumed her every cell as her soul continuously tried to flee her mortal body. with the experience having wiped most of her previous memory, she attacked, seeing him as the seed for her suffering and the source of her pain. able to escape her, nyl continued to wander runeterra, destroying mages that crossed her path in search of her once lover.

Issy I don’t know if someone asked you but...Albert Wesker and Jake for the character ask? 👀👉🏻👈🏻

Hehe thanks Karen I’ve actually been wanting to do these two >:) 💕

How I feel about them:

Albert: Whew, where do I start. Ok, so I can honestly say without any shame that I LOVE ALBERT WESKER. Yeah, he’s a dick but that doesn’t mean I can’t love him 😔 Not even kidding but when I was 12 I wrote a whole story about his childhood because something about young Wesker interests me soooo much. Spencer was the one that fucked him up and I actually feel quite a bit of pity for him (I meant, the poor dude was brainwashed as a kid and forced to do terrible stuff ;-;) He’s badass, super hot, and he’s got that old-school villain personality which I just love so much. His calm and collectedness (obviously pre re5) has always been something I’ve gushed over because, I don’t know, there’s something about stoic villains that just sends me, ok? 💕 Also, his fashion sense is impeccable.

Jake: I’ll be honest with this one. At first I didn’t like him. I was pretty young when I first played 6 and didn’t really care about him (I was more into his dad lmao) Played 6 again and I can honestly say that I now love Jake Muller to pieces 🥺💓 He’s badass, he’s cool, he’s a jerk but super charming in his own way. I love the fact that his morals are very grey to begin with — being a mercenary, he’s only in it for the money and it was nice to watch him slowly develop as the story went on. Also the fact that he has hand-to-hand combat as one of his weapon selections just hhhhh omg he’s such a badass 😩 I just honestly love him and his character so much and I wanna know what the hell he’s been up to!!

Who I ship them with romantically:

Albert: Oh damn. Love is definitely a tricky thing to describe with Wesker. I think the closest he’d get is either respect or fascination (definitely obsession if he was ever with an SO). He was with Jake’s mum in what, the early 90s? So we definitely know he is or at least was capable of sexual attraction. I think there was possibly something with Excella (nothing he really cared about but just saw her there and perhaps used her as stress relief? He’s a selfish dude so he’d totally do it). Like I’ve said, I’m not a huge re shipper but there’s something about him and Chris back in their S.T.A.R.S. days 👀 maybe even Jill too.

Jake: No-brainer — Sherry. Not only does their dynamic work but they were clearly fated to be together or something. I mean, their dads worked together and created the virus/blood- types that they both carry in them. I loved watching them flourish over the course of the game and watch Jake slowly start caring for Sherry 🥺💞 (you CANNOT tell me that this man isn’t an awkward softie when he wants to show affection) Basically, I just love them together and the fact that their history is so closely related just makes it even more special.

My non-romantic OTP for them:

Albert: Hmm probably William. Mainly based hcs and the true canon but these two men clearly respected eachother. They were even described as rivals back at the training facility and given nicknames — scholar Will and practical Al (I love that hhhh). Especially in that manga with them together, I just love them 🥺 (I never stop thinking about Al with the juice box omg 💓) Maybe calling them friends is a push but Will was clearly the closest thing that Wesker ever had to one ;-; 💕 (high-key wanna hug him 😔)

Jake: Ooh I think him and Leon could work well. They both respect eachother thanks to Sherry and they have a lot in common. Jake kinda reminds me a bit of re4 Leon (cocky but caring) so maybe Leon sees a bit of his younger self in Jake? Jake and Piers are an interesting duo too. They hate eachother’s guts but it would’ve been nice to have them properly work together or something ;-;

Unpopular opinions on them:

Albert: I hate what they did to him in 5 😔 He went from being cool, calm and collected to a completely unhinged psychopath in a space of just years and it triggers me so much. Capcom basically turned him into a stereotypical villain that wanted to take over the world and went mad ajdjdjd. How could they massacre my boy like that? 😭😭😭

Jake: Not really unpopular but I wish we could’ve seen more about his mother :( I wanna know if she ever spoke to Jake about Wesker or if she genuinely loved him while they were “together”.

One thing I wish would happen:

Albert: I wish he didn’t die (a part of me thinks he maybe be alive thanks to Umbrella Corps soooo). His death was stupid, comical and just cheap. A volcano,,,with rocket launchers,,,really??? Wesker was the main villain of the franchise and deserved a WAYYYY better death smfh 😤 I ALSO WANT A PREQUEL ON HIM SO BAD!! Whether it’s in Umbrella or S.T.A.R.S. or both! Just something 😩 Omg just imagine a game where you can play as him and Birkin in the different facilities hhhhh 💕

Jake: I wanna see him with Chris again. I need to know if those can ever work together properly or smooth things over. I’m sure they’ll forever be love-hate but I just wanna see how they’d act together 👀 Another thing I wished we could’ve seen was Jake confront Albert!! Yeah his dad is dead (possibly 👁👁) but seeing the two interact would be so interesting, especially since Jake feels so conflicted about his dad. (Also imagine them doing normal father-son stuff 😔✌️)

I’ve always found pre-5 Wesker the hottest ngl hhh (he’s hot in general buttttt) 👀💞

#thankyu karen 🥺💓#i love talking about my bastard men lmao #resident evil #asks #karen 😎

My Albert Wesker RE rec list

So i’m fairly new to Resident Evil fandom (only since March- after the release of R2make). To celebrate Resident Evil month i’ve created this list of some of the best Resident fanfic i’ve read so far and want to introduce to more people. All of these fics include Albert Wesker- my favorite character whom i believe deserve better characterization and these fics sastify it. I really recommend you guys to check them out. Note that some of the stories may change some canon details and timeline but overall everything else is canon compliance.

1.The Serpent by The Unholy Trio

Raw, heart-breaking and oh-so-human is how i describe this beautiful fic. I believe this fic is quite popular but i still want to include it in my list. This fic shed a new light to our favourite protagonists of the series- Chris, Jill and Wesker. The author has managed to bring out both the light and the dark within each of them as well as highlight the conflicts among our trio. For how one dimensional he is in most media, this fic flesh him out in the most unexpected way i could imagine by giving him all the human qualities and emotions which bring the well-deserved depth to his character. To summarize it, the story dwell into an alternate timeline where Wesker succeed with his Uroboros plan and wipe out the humanity, only him, Jill, Chris as well as a small number of people remain. An emotional roller-coaster where all souls are tested and personal prices are paid. (contain Weskertine and Valenfield)

2. God’s Child by Riot Siren (available on Ao3 also)

This fic is based on the original ending of Wesker’s Report I: what if Wesker got to Sherry Birkin before the US government? This is one of the very first Resident Evil fic that i read and till this day it remains one of the best fic i’ve ever read among other stories and other fandoms. It follows the journey of Sherry Birkin under the guardian of Albert Wesker himself in the world of violence, madness and B.O.Ws, how her relationship with him transform her from a well-protected, somewhat naive young girl into an experienced woman. To start with, this fic contains Wesker/Sherry. I know this is an unconventional ship, at first I was uncertain cause obviously the age gap between them (Wesker is older than her fking dad @.@) However the more I read the more i got suck in, thanks to the author’s amazing writing style. This fic brings you into the dark, mysterious world of bio-terrorism with plots and schemes and dramas. God’s child is so good that I wish it was canon. The best thing about this fic is how the author let us have a look into canonical events from the perspective of the dark side (namely Wesker, Sherry, Excella and even Alex Wesker) The fresh look into the inner working of all the terrible plans from the villains combine with how Sherry is influenced and change within story is one of the most notable thing about this fic. And Wesker, through the brilliant writing of Riot, appear much more terrifying, intimidating but also more intimate and realistic than ever. A true page turner to me!

3. Why Power Is A Must by FromPrussiaWithLove

Even until now, we know little about Wesker, who he really is, how and why he became the iconic villain of Resident Evil franchise that we all love. The source materials include game, novel and extra contents only provide us with little information about the true character of Albert Wesker, the most notable thing that explains why he is who he is is The Wesker Project. Many writers of RE fandom have attempted to create their own versions of the becoming of Albert Wesker- former Umbrella researcher turn agent turn traitor and eventually a notorious bioterroist. However this fic stand out as one of the best version to me.

The story begin with Jake Muller and his acquisition of Wesker’s journal from Chris Redfield, which mark the beginning of one of the most heart-wrenching fanfic I’ve ever encountered. By using the journal as the center, the author has brilliantly give us a glimpse into the inner thinking and emotion of Albert Wesker, from when he was just a young 17-year-old man until the last years of his life. Along with Jake, we slowly unravel the reason why Wesker turn to the dark side throughout many events that has changed him over the years, how his life has been manipulated by Spencer. In short, how he was force to become a beast without humanity by Spencer. (I’m not the only one who believe Wesker is not the bad guy all the time right?) One of my favourite thing about Why Power Is A Must is how the fic portray Jake’s mother. Little is known about her from the canon besides the fact that she came to America in her early 20s where she met Albert and became pregnant with his child around 1991-1992 before going back to Edonia. There has been many assumptions about her and what played out between her and Albert in the fandom, some of them somewhat turn into headcanons. What I like about this fic is instead of following these extremely popular headcanons, the author chose to explore a different scenario between Albert Wesker and Jake’s mom, and used her character as a plausible explanation on why Albert was corrupted. Her love story with him has set the tragic tone for the entire installment. In this fic we see an Albert Wesker who desperately tried to cling on to his own human side yet failed because of the weight of all the tragedies that had happened in his life combine with his lack of control of his own destiny (thanks to dear old Spencer yay…) To sum up this fic I will quote what Chris Redfield says before giving Jake the journal:

Albert Wesker was a strong- noble man, who was corrupted with contempt for humanity, but I find myself loathing him from time to time. He was a natural leader to me, but I cannot forgive him for all the lives that he has wasted- took- without a second thought. When it came to the end, there was no way to bring him back. He was too far gone, too damage, too volatile

Update as of February 27, 2024: This fic has been deleted from fanfiction.net. Fortunately I've been able to obtain a copy. If you want to read this fic, please DM me.

Well that’s the end of my list, however if you’re a fan of Jill x Wesker ship I have one more fic for you >_o

100 Days A Slave by SiennaValentine

Tag: heavy smut, Jill’s perspective, non-con element, nonlinear narrative, tragedy

(I’m sleepy so even though I have A LOT to talk about this fic I will stop and go to sleep)

I love u fam but I gotta disagree with your conclusion.

What makes a ship canon is a positive/affirmative acknowledgement of its existence by the canon itself. That’s it. It’s really not that complicated.

Let’s use a different perspective in RE.

Here’s what’s canon:

Wesker met an Edonian woman who fell in love with him. He slept with her and fathered a child. This woman is never named or seen on screen, and Wesker never mentions her even in passing. It’s not fully clear if he’s even aware he has a son.

However.

I personally feel like it would be absolutely ridiculous to try to claim that the ship of Wesker/his babymama is not canon just because they didn’t maintain an indefinite monogamous relationship. Like... no. It’s canon. That’s a thing. They had a kid together. The very existence of Jake Muller proves that the ship is canon.

I also don’t agree that a couple breaking up retroactively makes the ship non-canon. You wouldn’t make that case for anything else. If you were to try to say “Leon being a police officer isn’t canon” everyone in the fandom would jump to correct you, and they’d be right to do it. He might not be one anymore, but he certainly was one, and that’s canon.

Aeon is canon in the OG timeline because RE acknowledged it as a thing that happened.

Aeon is not canon in the Remake timeline because Remake went out of its way to discredit it by changing the context of their kiss from one that was genuinely affectionate to one that was outwardly manipulative, culminating in Leon telling Ada he never trusted her.

Cleon is not canon because there’s no argument to be made that RE acknowledges that romantic feelings even exist between them.

Eagleone is canon in RE4make because RE4make establishes that mutual feelings exist between them and then uses romantic tropes to reinforce it. It wants you to know “hey this is a thing” even if it isn’t plainly stated outright.

If two characters need to have a happily ever after in order for their ship to be seen as canon, then subtlety and nuance are dead and we may as well all write coffeeshop AUs til the end of time. Metaphors and allegories are used by writers for a reason, and just because something isn’t explicit doesn’t mean that it’s not there in the text.

Canonicity in the Context of Ships (and Ship Wars)

Essentially, what makes a ship canon? Does it even matter that a ship becomes canon?

So, disclaimer before we start:

1. This is my interpretation of the meaning of "canon" and what it means for a ship to be canon. As always, I'm open to disagreements and constructive criticism, especially if it can tame the constant aggression in some fandom spaces

2. I like ships, but I don't support ship wars because they're all fucking pointless and if you're a grown adult or close to being one and you're still harassing people over ships on the internet, you're a fucking loser

That being said

As we all know, online fandom spaces have developed their own vernacular over the years: canon, fanon, headcanon, OC, AU, OTP, the infamous 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat', etc. Fandom slang has also evolved since it was first coined. A prime example of that would be the use of the term "lemon" to refer to erotic fanfiction, which while still used, has suffered a sharp decline in favour of the word "smut" (although smut has its own use and meaning outside of fandoms).

The word "canon" is arguably one of the most important words in fandom, since it refers to the official source material from a game, book, TV show, movie, whatever form of media said fandom is about. In essence, it's the official story: what actually happens and what was intended by the creators. Some universes are easily accessible and the canon isn't really subject to much debate. Most TV shows have very straightforward canon: assuming that everything is contained within, let's say, 5 seasons of 22 episodes each, with no spin-offs, movies, or exclusive bonus episodes, the canon of the show will be laid out in these episodes. That's it. Some other fandoms will be much more obscure: think of game franchises such as Resident Evil, where many games have been released over the years, remade, and some have been largely forgotten and can even contradict the current version of events. In this case, it can be much harder to define what canon is, which events are official and still applicable to the story and which should be discarded completely. (And I have to say, as a law student, canon is weirdly reminiscent of the hierarchy of norms, but that's for another day.)

I could discuss the importance of canon in fandoms, but that's irrelevant to the point of this post. Let's talk ships. I don't need to explain to everyone what a ship is. There's no point of contention there. In most media where romance is either dealt with or hinted at, fandoms, and therefore, shippers, will jump at the opportunity to write about or make art of their favourite ship. However, there's always something rearing its ugly head and contributing to the toxic atmosphere in fandoms: ship wars.

Ship wars are in essence extremely simple, and I'm sure we've all been in a fandom that participated in a ship war, whether we were involved in it ourselves or not. Long story short, shippers argue over which ship will become canon. Writers are toying with the idea of two or more major ships and teasing that both have their chances. So, in the end, it's all about who comes out on top and who becomes official.

The canonicity of a ship is a lot more complicated than the canonicity of media itself. I'd argue that even if the canonicity of the story is simple, it's likely that the canonicity of ships will necessarily be harder to draw conclusions about. So you can imagine how complicated canon is when it comes to ships from franchises that barely know their own canon.

Since I've seen a lot of arguments over canon ships in the Resident Evil fandom as of late, and this is what inspired this post, I will be using this example primarily - and since ideally I'd like this post to reach fandoms outside of RE, I'll be explaining and illustrating my examples. Other fandoms and ships might also be referred to.

1. Canon, semi-canon and non-canon

When it comes to ships, there are 3 main ways to describe them:

- Non-canon: quite straightforward. The ship has not officially expressed any desire (even implicit) to get together whatsoever. They may or may not interact in canon, and if they do, there's just no romantic interest there. Non-canon does not necessarily refer to a ship being into each other but not doing anything about it, as this is characterised as:

- Semi-canon: there's something there. Maybe both characters like each other romantically, maybe it's one-sided, maybe there is potential but it could either sail or be ruined completely by Character A's reaction to Character B's feelings. But overall, the general consensus seems to be that semi-canon ships have not acted on their feelings. This definition is not set in stone - we'll come back to it later.

- Canon: yay, your ship has sailed!! The pairing has officially been confirmed. The characters have acted on their feelings and you have won the ship war.

These are the general definitions of canon ships. And if you think they're clear and satisfactory, in what world are you living?

2. Past canon vs current canon

You finally got around to watching the season finale and there it is: Character A and B confessed and kissed. Finally, it's canon, and you can gloat on social media about how you were right all along.

But then it turns out that by the final season, your ship breaks up, and Character A gets with Character C. Even worse, Character A stays with Character C and the show ends with them being officially together. What the fuck.

So, what does that make your ship? It's officially a sunk ship, sure, but what about its canonicity? Should it be considered canon? I mean, they dated for 2 seasons. So technically, there was a period of time when your ship was canon. It just isn't anymore.

This is the first hurdle we meet when trying to define a ship as canon. It all hinges on the when aspect of it. This is also where ship canonicity differs from story canonicity. Storywise, the ship is rooted in canon since they were together at some point. Shipwise, however, they are not canon anymore, since they have broken up. It's canon that they happened, but they themselves aren't canon anymore.

At this point, I would argue that most people consider that a ship that is together by the end of the show/game/movie/book etc., by the end of canon essentially, is canon. Don't worry, we're still far from having solved this.

3. What does it take for a ship to be canon?

You will have noticed by now that, so far, I have instinctively referred to a canon ship as a ship that is together. I'd argue that this is what most people think of when they think of a canon ship.

But what does it mean for a ship to be together? Do we mean that they have to be a couple? Is it marriage, is it a relationship, is it friends with benefits? Or is it a simple kiss and confession? Do they even have to make out, or have sex, or put a label on their relationship?

This is when we venture into the territory of canon vs semi-canon. Earlier, I defined semi-canon as a ship that has feelings for each other, or is one-sided, but no one has acted on their feelings. Mind you, this is the definition provided by the Internet.

Let's say Character A confesses to Character B. Character B feels the same way, but they don't want to get into a relationship right now. The show ends there. I mean, technically, they like each other, right? That much was confirmed. They acted on their feelings by confessing. Technically, that gets them out of semi-canon territory. But does it get them into canon territory? Nothing came out of the confession, really.

We can't in good faith argue that two characters confessing is enough to make them canon, since the term semi-canon also exists, and could very well apply depending on your own definition of it.

The problem lies in defining what it takes for a ship to be canon. If we go back to the very roots of canon, it's confirmation that a ship has an official romantic nature.

Is liking each other enough? Doubtful: if a main character flirts with a minor side character, who reciprocates, does that make them canon? They're into each other. But it would be ridiculous by fandom standards to deem them canon when the side character might never be seen again and has no real bearing on the story.

Truth is, what makes a ship canon fluctuates depending on the standards set by the media itself. If a piece of media is heavily romance-based, canon will most likely be defined by the ship that makes it out in the end, the one that has proclaimed to be a couple. If the piece of media is not keen on romance, and never creates romantic relationships between characters, it might be enough for the fandom to consider canon a pairing that has simply alluded to being into each other.

Whether the last example is good enough reason to hail a ship as canon depends on the fandom and the shippers. Some might think it's a stretch, some might think it's more than enough.

One possibility would be to look at the writers' intention for the pairing, read interviews if they're available, etc. However, most of the time, franchises have changes in writers over the seasons/games/movies, and it gets even worse when you take into account franchises that are adapted from another source material - say, Game of Thrones vs ASOIAF: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' intentions for the characters certainly differ from George R. R. Martin's intentions.

I'm going to start using actual examples now, to better illustrate my point. I'll be using Resident Evil ships, like I said. RE, despite having constant ship wars, is not famous for making ships canon or focusing on romance at all. The most you'll get is indicators that two characters are into each other or you'll get established relationships that are not subject to ship wars since they have no other love interest (see Mia and Ethan Winters: married couple, established as part of canon and the validity of their relationship with regards to other characters is never questioned). As a matter of fact, you could probably argue that the Winters are the only canon couple in the REverse.

Most RE ship wars happen as a result of Leon ships, the main ones being Aeon (Ada/Leon) vs Cleon (Claire/Leon). There are other Leon ships out there, mainly Chreon (Chris/Leon), Serennedy (Luis/Leon), Leshley/Eagleone (Ashley/Leon), and many more, but they don't engage in ship wars because they have the common sense to be normal human beings about their ships. (Seriously everyone, chill the fuck out.)

Aeon shippers are known for one thing: banging on and on about how their ship is canon - which, in their eyes, automatically discredits all other Leon ships (what's the point of shipping if it isn't to win, right? I'm obviously being sarcastic). Which, knowing the canon nature of Aeon, makes it the perfect test subject for this discussion and post.

Are Ada and Leon into each other? Sure. Ada confessed to falling in love with Leon in OG RE2, they flirted in OG RE4, Resident Evil: Damnation suggests that they have shared at least one night together, and in RE6, Helena guesses that Leon has feelings for Ada. These events, however, have changed in the remakes: Ada no longer confesses to being in love with Leon in RE2R, though she does kiss him to manipulate him, and they don't exactly flirt much in RE4R. But then, by discussing this, we'd end up discussing what is canon in a game franchise plagued by obscure secondary sources of canon, and that's not what I plan on doing here (I also severely lack the extensive knowledge to do that).

Despite all of this, Ada and Leon never actually get together. It's a constant game of cat and mouse, will-they-won't-they, whatever you wanna call it. Since they are on opposite sides of the same fight, it's practically impossible for them to get into a normal, healthy relationship. Going back to what I said about the canonicity of a ship being defined by the standards set by the piece of media itself, you could argue that Aeon is canon by those standards: since they can't get together, it only matters that they have shown reciprocated feelings towards one another.

However, that's not entirely true, is it? RE hasn't set those standards for romance. It doesn't act on ships, but it hasn't deterred romance as a whole: look at Mia and Ethan Winters. It is possible to get into a relationship in RE - now whether it is possible to get a happy ending is entirely less likely.

But I mean, there are other love interests for Leon that aren't on the side of who he's fighting. Look at Claire, or Ashley, or hell even Jill. We can't, as a fandom, reasonably ignore the flirting that went down between Claire and Leon in RE2R (and Infinite Darkness at times) and Leon and Ashley in both OG RE4 (though he does reject her at the end of the OG) and RE4R. And he was probably trying to flirt with Jill a little in Death Island, too - he's a bit of a whore (affectionate).

How do you even define the canonicity of a ship in a universe like RE, in which most characters can't form normal, healthy romantic relationships? Is it enough to kiss/sleep together (Aeon)? Is it enough to unabashedly flirt and to practically be parents to a practically adopted daughter (Cleon)? Is it enough to share all sorts of romantic tropes and overtly flirt with each other (Leshley/Eagleone)? What happens when you start removing all of the events that used to be canon, but might not be anymore/be part of a different canon than the current one?

4. Conclusion (kind of)

I really want to offer a definition of a canon ship that suits everyone, but every time i come up with one, I bump into yet another wall. Tentatively, we could define a canon ship as a ship that has, by the standards of the piece of media they belong to, acted on their desire to be together in a lasting manner that disproves all other potential ships for the characters. I'm sure that can be perfected, and there might be elements of this definition that can be refuted, but this is how I would characterise a ship as canon. Which would, you guessed it, make pretty much every Leon ship non-canon in the context of the REverse as a whole.

The one true conclusion of this post, however, is that shipping amounts to playing with Barbies and should not be taken so seriously. There are a lot of shippers who know that their ships have no chances of becoming canon, yet still choose to have fun with it, make content for it in their own space, and some of you guys are dicks enough to go and bully them over it. Go outside, take a breath, and understand that canonicity is not the be-all and end-all of shipping.

I went a bit overboard with this and I'm sorry (not really). I'd love to know everyone's opinions on what makes a ship canon, if there's scenarios I haven't considered, etc! Constructive criticism is more than welcome and as always, my ask box is always open <3

how does the mun feel abt nero being veril's son in canon?

( ooc );

Ho ho.

Um… good question.

It’s funny, that’s always been like–the joke/the thing since DMC4 was a thing. It was always the meme, the idea that people threw around, the concept that people liked to talk about, but it was never actually CONFIRMED confirmed in game. Yeah, some magazine or whatever did, but still. It was different back then.

Now to have it actually confirmed in game and so much surrounding it, is almost surreal.

Short version?

I love what it does for Nero’s character. I love that it challenges everything Nero has ever known, including how he was brought up and who he was as a child. Basically in regards to Nero, I think it’s amazing and has the potential to make for extreme character driven stuff.

…For Vergil? Ahhh… I mean look, I don’t write him, but–I’m gonna’ be honest, the idea of Vergil just… having casual sex with some Fortuna lady and then Nero being spawned out of that whole ordeal is… weird to me. Lmao. It’s similar to how I felt about Jake Muller in RE6, AKA Albert Wesker’s son.

In that, Albert Wesker of all fucking people does NOT seem the type to just… have a casual hookup and open up the possibility that oh yeah the woman might become pregnant with my flesh and blood.

–And Vergil doesn’t seem the type either. I’m 99% sure he has other things on his mind. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. AND also, the idea of Vergil being uncaring/careless enough to not even consider that she could have his child after the fact is like… ??? Wouldn’t he THINK about that? Like “oh yeah i did have sex that one time, oh yeah i guess she did get pregnant” like what excuse me, this man is a genius and calculates fucking everything lmao.

Just my opinion. I mean it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it is rather silly from Vergil’s perspective in regards to his character.

#🖕—☾𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊 𝖍𝖆𝖘 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖊 : Out of Character☽—🖕#( maybe vergil was just having a good time at that moment and didn't think about it. like dante said 'you were human once too' )#( IDK. IDK. )

FYI: Muse Cull

Yes, you read that right. I’m planning on permanently deleting some of my less active muses (much as it pains me, as I adore them all), but I wanted to give you a heads up which ones I’m planning on saying farewell to, just in case you followed particularly to write with any of them, and just hadn’t got around to it yet. I am being pretty ruthless with the list, so if there is someone on this list who you actually do want to write with, make it known fast, before they’re deleted forever. I won’t be bringing them back once I’ve deleted them.

Felix Kennedy; though he’s an OC who I adore so much (I just want to hug him all the time) he gets no interaction whatsoever. Maybe I’ll eventually write a story for him to star in.

Miyuki Hayashi - another OC I love, who has an interesting backstory and interesting powers, but another who doesn’t get any interaction at all.

Bruno Madrigal - yes you read that right! Y’all know how much I ADORE Bruno, but it seems that the Encanto fanbase has withered and died over the last few months and he was quite popular for a bit but now no one seems to want to write with him.

Pepa Madrigal - same with my darling Pepa. I love her so much, but the Encanto fandom seems to have died and no one seems all that interested in doing crossovers with her.

Esmeralda - same thing with her. I love her, but she doesn’t get any interaction.

Clopin - literally the same thing.

Jim Hawkins - now this one hurts because I ADORE Jim. He’s one of my favourite muses but no one ever wants to write with him. I believe I had one thread with him a million years ago on my old multimuse blog. On here, no one’s written with him ever.

Matsuda - it kills me to get rid of Matsu, but no one ever wants to write with him in the DN fandom. Maybe because he’s too pure for this world and the DN fandom only ever wants angst? (I know I’m hella guilty of that too).

Stephen Gevanni - same thing with him. I love him, but no one else seems to.

Misa Amane - it surprised me that no one wanted to write with Misa, but that is apparently the case so I’ll be saying goodbye to her too.

Kyoko Sakura - I love Kyoko so much. Madoka is one of my most loved fandoms, but the fanbase seems to have died and no one wants to write with her.

Keith Kogane; I loved Voltron back in the day but found the fanbase way too toxic, so I don’t really want to interact with anyone from it, to be honest. And it’s been that long since I watched it that my muse for Keith is pretty dead.

Victor Van Dort - I love ol’ Victor, but he isn’t active enough to warrant keeping him here.

Jake Muller, Piers Nivans, Sherry Birkin and Luis Sera - fuck, I love them all so much, especially Luis, but no one ever wants to write with them, it’s only ever Leon who gets a look in.

Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald and Ghost - I love them so much but I don’t think the Ginger Snaps fandom really rps, and no horror blogs ever want to write with them.

Bofur - BIG SOB. I love Bofur but no one’s interested.

Karen Davis (The Grudge) - I feel like the Grudge fandom doesn’t even exist in writing (I refuse to give up Kayako though. She’s here forever).

Marie Antoinette

Eleanor Crain

Theodora Crain - I really thought I could get somewhere with Theo, but apparently not. She’s such an interesting character.

Randy Meeks - yep... I love him, but the same issue that I’m having with all the others

Katrina Van Tassel.

Yoon Bum - because the KS fandom is dead and no one wants to write with him anymore.

Now, I don’t want to get rid of any more, but there are a few who also have had no interaction since I added them, these being Deet and Rian from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Peach and Beck from YOU, and Count Lucio from Arcana.

I wanted my 1001 post to be something special and cool, like the file I made doing into the lore of my Resident Evil OCs, but I have decided I shall use the time to just talking about Resident Evil. I’m seeing a LOT of comments and as a longer time fan of the games, I feel like I could add a new perspective on some issues, and maybe add some important info.

This post will talking about; Teaming Up with Heisenberg, Chris’ Role with Rose, and Dimitrescu advertisement. Spoilers ahead.

Dimitrescu Ad-

Now, this is the biggest issue. Many people are angry because Dimitrescu was only in the game for the first 3 hours at most, (or in better terms, 20% of the time if your play is 13 hours) but was the focus of all the marketing. Here’s the thing though, that was actually genius on Capcom’s part. Dimitrescu is so early in the game that nothing about the later game is revealed. Up until after you defeat her, you don’t have a clear idea what’s going on. It’s just hunt down your baby. You don’t find the first flask till after.

So because Dimitrescu is so early and leaves most of the plot unknown, it was really good to advertise her because nothing of the game would be spoiled. This was a problem with one of the last 3make trailers, as they showed Nemesis’s dog form. OG nemesis didn’t have a dog form, so finding out he’d have one in this game was a spoiler. It caused many people to be like “don’t watch this trailer. It’ll spoil you.”

Next part of its genius was that since the first trailer, people were going NUTS for Lady D. The whole internet was simping for her. Capcom saw this, and they acted on this, showing people all they could of her and making her the focus. They gave the people what they wanted, and this got Capcom more sales, because you had people who had no interest in RE beforehand picking up this game just for her. Feeding into her fans got them more money.

That’s why Lady Dimitrescu’s advertisement was actually really good. Because it kept most of the game a secret, and fed into what the fans wanted, giving Capcom more sales from simps. People are just kinda angry that she wasn’t the main focus (despite the fact the other lords were shown and Miranda was mentioned in the ads as well.)

Teaming Up with Kaaarrll-

One thing people, myself included, wondered was what would happen if we had the choice to team up with Heisenberg. Now, do I have a good idea on how it would go in game?? No. That’s a lot of speculation and headcanons. However I have an idea on how Capcom would do it. Capcom is... lazy, if I’m being honest. They like money and they do stuff cheaply.

Take into account RE2 and 3make. Those games had alternate endings depending on how you played (Claire A/Leon B or Leon A/Claire B) (plus the three different RE3 endings) however when remaking these games there was only always the one ending. There was no way to get a different ending, no matter how you played. Additionally, the A and B games were different in the OG, but in the remake they’re almost exactly the same with a few things changed at the beginning. In the OG for example, Mr. X was only in the B game. In the remake he’s at both but just shows up earlier in B.

Even looking at RE7, they give you this illusion of choice between Mia and Zoe, however choosing Zoe is automatically pointless and gives you the bad end in the long run. This is because Zoe immediately dies and after completing Mia’s portion, she also dies. Choosing between the 2 was pointless because the outcome is just death for one. Nothing even really changes in gameplay aside from Zoe and Mia dying. The ending boss fight and mines are all exactly the same. Even the ship is exactly the same.

So how would Capcom do Heisenberg? Well, like 7, I feel they’d give us an illusion of choice, where the option is clearly “don’t side with him if you want the good ending” because if you chose side with him, he will somehow end up ultimately dying and Ethan will still also get his heart ripped out. (Possibly by going after Miranda) Or alternatively, you chose side with him and then he still pushes you down the hole, changing nothing about the factory aside from some dialogue. Maybe Ethan says something like “I’ll side with you but using Rose is 100% of the table” and Heisenberg goes “well fuck you then.”

Basically if we got to side with Heisenberg, Capcom would probably do it in the laziest way possible because they don’t want to have two separate ways the game can go, and we’ll somehow wind up with the same exact places and gameplay despite the differing options.

Chris-

°-° Ya’ll are really wild with Chris, not gonna lie. I see a lot of people going “Chris was always gonna take Rose and turn her into the next Eveline” “Chris was gonna lie to Ethan, say Rose died and then turn her into a weapon” “Chris turned Rose into the next bioweapons, he’s a monster. He treats her so terribly”

This goes heavily against Chris’s character. Not gonna lie, it’s completely hypocritical of him. Why? Well you see, back in Resident Evil 5 and 6, Chris had two people he was close to, Jill Valentine and Piers Nivens, turned into living bioweapons. Jill had no free will and Piers was transformed. Chris wanted nothing more than to save both of them, urging Piers to come with him because “they could fix this.” These were people he cared about turned into BOWs, and it pained him, he wanted to save them but with Piers he couldn’t. Piers sacrificed himself. Also keep in mind, Chris is a brother. Claire is his only loving family and I don’t think he could ever turn her into a bioweapon, let alone allow someone else to. If Chris would be so against people he knows becoming BOWs, why would he look at Rose and go “screw it. She’s powerful, let’s make her a weapon.” He knows how much Rose meant to Ethan, and he felt bad about having to abandon Ethan. He wouldn’t just... do him like that.

Also, it would be way outta Chris character to turn Rose into a BOW because at the very end of the game, he’s upset with the BSAA. The BSAA has begun using bioweapons as soldiers, which goes against everything they’re suppose to stand for and is completely hypocritical. Chris is upset and ashamed in them, that’s why he says “go to the European Headquarters. Someone has to pay.” He’s going there to raise hell, essentially, because what the fuck are they doing. It would be Chris going “you can’t use BOWs but I can so fuck you.” (Keep in mind, the BSAA being corrupted is why Chris was starting to drift away, and this might be his last straw with them.)

In short Chris never planned to turn Rose into the next Eveline, nor does he want to. He is strongly against BOWs and the use of them. Especially turning innocent people into BOWs, and using them for evil. Not only that but he’s seen people he cares about be turned into BOWs and he didn’t like it one bit, why would he betray Ethan and do that exact same thing to Ethan’s daughter, when he was so determined to save his friends from it. He is most likely just training Rose so that she can control her powers and of kill anyone on accident. The most I can assume is that Rose is an agent for this new organization, of her own volition, but these guys in suits are really on top of her in case she goes rogue this has nothing to do with Chris influence.

In shorter terms, it’s against Chris’ morals, goes against his character thus far, and would be hypocritical of him to have evil plans or intentions for Rose. He is still the good guy, he just isn’t the greatest at explaining stuff (see Chris not telling Claire he was going to Europe because he didn’t want her involved and then her proceeding to go to Raccoon and get involved for more evidence)

(Keep in mind, this isn’t the first “evil” child Chris let live. In RE6, he comes face to face with Jake Muller, Albert Wesker’s son. Chris comments how he sees his father in him, and you’d think this would be a red flag considering what Wesker did. Jake proceeds to point a gun right at Chris’s head, and almost shoots him in the head. What does Chris do? Let him go. He knows Jake isn’t an enemy or going to be an enemy later, so he doesn’t kill him or try to capture him. Chris is essentially only against BOWs who are evil or used for war. If they’re just regular people who were handed a bad card, then he’d let them go (hence why he wouldn’t kill Heisenberg and Rose if they lived. As long as they weren’t planning anything evil, they’d be okay.)

#rant #my thoughts #resident evil 8 spoilers #resident evil #I like finally having an excuse to talk about all this RE stuff #it’s nice #I get to use all this info I’ve had stored #anyway angry assholes don’t interact #only civil people allowed #also feel free to ask questions!
