MKcember Day 13: Tzedek and/or Persaverence

(Warning for spoilers and content for the end of Moon Knight 2021 issue #30)

———

His throat is warm and tangy. It’s hard to breathe.

“Fthrrr…Khnnshhhhuu…” It is a desperate call, a stubborn one. The shadows sweep in blues and reds around him, intangible as they watch.

“I can do nothing,” Khonshu says. “But you have done this for me, you are mine.”

“I am proud.”

Red, slipping away into an open sea, its flow split from the right path. This is wrong.

Keep going. Hands on his shoulders, warm around his heart. Neon lights and desk lamps and words that urge him forward. He growls under his breath, fervent and stubborn as their pulse hammers. Waning. Slowing. But never stopping.

Their legs ache as they get to their feet. Every inch of their body stings, words soft in a mouthful of numbness that trips as he tries to speak. Sticky teeth. A cloak dripping in evening light. A sunset, perhaps. Ready to bury itself in the warm earth.

This must be done. For all. For us.

The world hums to life, crackling in maddening red. The walls buzz as shouts build from the streets below.

We did not do this for him.

“Shema Ysrael…” Marc whispers. A bubble gurgles free in their throat. “…Adonai eloheinu…” Their breath shivers. “Adonai echad…”

It is a rededication of final breath, a reclamation to hold onto what has slipped. Rest soon. A dry mouth parched to drink.

They squeeze the trigger together, never wavering, and the world around them bursts into fire.

They're brothers your honor

[starsarekind]

So what-- do we hug now or something?

I wanted to redraw a comic panel with Reese (I love you Reese) and Marc but have Marc in the MCU outfit, and then I realized that this was just white on white on white and MAN is that hard to colour. Still, I think I did a pretty alright job :)

Hope you like it! Reese if you see this I'm your number one fan and if Jake tries to take that crown from my head I will-- Anyway. Reese and Soldier supremacy. Also I'm tempted to make 8-Ball fanart low key??!!!

FINALLY doing some MKcember catch up. These have been a bit fast so not my most polished work, but I’m wanting to do the prompts the justice that I can, so I hope they still land well. Starting on the backlog with:

MKcember Day 11: Chanukah Food and/or Dreidel

———

“Marc, keep your hands away from the pan, we have spatulas for a reason.”

Their arm paused over the skillet, Marc’s lips thinning into a frown. “I can just… it’s faster to just flip ‘em,” he muttered. Steven hadn’t been near front for most of the afternoon, but Marc could feel him solid now, a disapproving look echoing forward from somewhere inside.

The Mission, for once, was warm. The kitchen had been pushed a bit wider, the walls and counters accommodating for the extra space needed for pans and dough and sizzling latkes. Jake had done a good amount of the cooking earlier that day, ramped up on the excitement of having the crew all together for dinner that night. He’d whipped together several different donut flavors and a batch of cream cheese blintzes that Marc had already sampled a few of (“And no more!” Steven admonished internally) before slipping off somewhere Marc couldn’t really feel and leaving the rest to him. He was ready to continue what he was doing (the latkes were nicely browned and he wanted to get them even), but Steven was being… Steven.

“Marc, our skin doesn’t need more battery, we get enough of that with the night job. I’d prefer we didn’t recreate second degree burns at home.”

“It doesn’t even hurt, Steven, it’s nothing.”

“Nothing? Marc it’s boiling oil and—”

“Will be fine if we just—“

“Use. A. Spatula.”

Marc sighed, closing his eyes for a moment against the rising headache in their temples, before reaching pointedly over to the utensils. The oil popped and sputtered as he flipped the latkes, the crispy edges gleaming.

“You happy?” he asked.

A wave of good humor pushed forward. “Yes. Our cuticles thank you for the respite.”

Marc huffed. “Alright alright, don’t get shmaltzy with it.”

Steven laughed as he faded back again, and Marc smiled slightly to himself as he continued cooking. He was just getting ready to transfer the food out of the pan when something creaked loudly behind him. He glanced back, eyes scanning the wall until they landed on a much emptier plate of blintzes than had been there before. The wall above the counter rippled in satisfaction.

Marc blanched. “Mission!” he exclaimed.

Jake was going to kill him.
