alternate bad ending

(inspired drabble under the cut)

Lucanis has been taught to accept death since he was a child. He's trained in it. He's used to it. But that doesn't mean what family he has left isn't important to him. Rather it's what matters to him most.

Then he gets imprisoned and tortured. He watches people die, week after week for a year. He's made to think he's going to die at any moment. Made to think that his family is dead. But he doesn't know.

Then you come along, set him free, return him home to find only one family member left, the other probably dead after all. But he still doesn't know.

Then she's alive, imprisoned by the same person that imprisoned him, the other living relative. But he can't kill him. He won't be the reason to lose what he has left, and there's so little left.

But then there's you, who's shown him compassion he's never known, that there's something more than just family/contracts/enemies. That it's safe to be vulnerable around someone.

But he's scared to get close. Scared he'll hurt you. Scared he'll lose you, to himself, to a god, to something he can't kill.

Then his walls start to break. He doesn't know what he'd do without you. And then you disappear. You might be dead. A day, a week, a month goes by. You're still not back. You're probably dead. He thinks he'll never see you again.

It's weeks of not knowing, and he's wasted all this time fearing he'd only take time away from you, time he could have given you instead of pushing you away, and he's lost you anyway. You could have both been happier, if he wasn't so broken.

Then you're back, and nothing else matters, there's no holding back. He'll do anything to protect you, you are his sole purpose now. This he knows, more than anything.

Then the battle is over, the gods are dead, and so are you in his arms. He couldn't protect you.

He knows death. He knows you're dead.

But only now after decades without, does he remember what it's like to grieve.

the thing about Irondad is that i can make reality whatever i want and what i want is Tony being a cringe failure when it comes to the parenting side of things and Peter simultaneously being like "yeah he is a fucking loser" and "he's super smart though and learning from him has been awesome" and "but if he would be my dad that'd be cool." like Peter is an unreliable and a biased narrator at the same time so he thinks Tony is cool but in my eyes I know what he is. Tony is actually like "i would die for this kid" but having an emotional conversation feels like he's been asked to drag his bare ass across hot coals. he doesn't even know where to begin to accomplish that task. which is why Peter says things like "oh he doesn't say a lot of things to me about how he feels but i can read between the lines" and in his mind Tony says things that mean another thing but never are *quite* that thing. usually jokes that talk about what he means without having to say it or be vulnerable. in his POV he's freaking out that Peter is missing to the point of being physically ill about it, yet Peter couldn't imagine it's that bad or because losing *him* is the cause of that problem. that's how Irondad really is, and i can make it better because canon is my bitch now

The useless slob husband has gotten out of fashion lately and I LOVE that for men as a whole. The Ludo guy in High Potential is such a good dad/ex, and Derek in shrinking is such a good partner and friend, and Ricken Severance is always 100% into his baby, Jay in Ghosts goes above and beyond to go with Sam's and the ghosts' shenanigans, and Jonah superstore was the dad that stepped up often, that one husband in pivoting loved his career mom wife so much... shows are giving their women such cool dudes! I find myself actively rooting for these straight guys to be on screen. That shit was NOT easy to come in the 2010s, it was either useless slob or possessive sexyman.

Important questions. With older bf!Simon is there ass eating? Second question, if so, is it a he eats your ass, you eat his ass, or you eat each others ass? 👀

brilliant question- let me go crazy for a second okay 🫶🏼

there’s an unspoken rule about your older bf!simon and that’s the rule that says there is no part of you that doesn’t drive him fucking crazy.

there are just some parts more than others.

and every time he has you bent over, he’s running his thumb over your asshole- call it a cliche but simon goes fucking nuts over your asshole.

which is why he can be found with his face between both cheeks, large hands kneading the flesh as his tongue breaches the tight muscle.

he likes it best when you reach back to grip his hair, there’s a moan that leaves him and vibrates through you when you pull his face against you.

satiates that filthy part of him that needs to claim every single part of you.

(simon’s a little more precious about his own ass, he doesn’t really know how to feel about you sticking your own tongue up his asshole. but when he’s all pliable and soft and you catch him at the right moment, he’s moaning his fucking head off- holding his thighs back as you run your tongue from his balls to his ass in one long stroke)

AND I MET THE CHANGE GOD TOO. OKAY. COOL OKAY

[sidesteppostinghours]

ok. question.

ortega ended up hallucinating sidestep after they "died", but sidestep doesnt know about that. they know it got bad, but never the full extent of how their death affected them. so if your sidestep Did learn, if they found out ortega looked for them in every little piece they could, would that change anything for your sidesteps? would their relationship with ortega be any different?
