I think a lot about Katniss and Peeta pos-mj looking out for each other.

Because they are both completely destroyed, but they both hate seeing their partner suffering. So they do what they can to stand up for the other.

Peeta still has trouble touching her, he still grinds his teeth when he feels her too close, but he can't see her sobbing without comforting her in his arms. He can't see her whimpering half awake in the middle of the night without holding her hands, he can't see her eyes shining for him to come closer and do nothing.

Katniss can't get out of bed, she can't eat, she can't even force herself to take a shower. But her heart breaks when she sees Peeta depressed. When he's not eating , she forces herself to get up and go into the forest. She cooks it and feeds him piece by piece into his mouth. She cleans him and changes his dirty clothes with new ones. Wipe his face with a wet cloth to remove the grime and help him brush his teeth.

They just don't fall apart because they have the other by their side.

The desire to keep their love alive and safe is what makes them get up and do it. Heal slowly, make life better. It's the desire to see Katniss smile again that makes Peeta tell jokes, it's the desire to see Peeta happy that makes Katniss soften.

They do for each other what they can not do for themselves.

Me at the start of FHJY: oh no Gorgug and Zelda broke up! 😭 I'll never recover!

Me after the finale: *glancing between Zelda, Mary Anne, and Unit trying to figure out which is my favorite (potentially) canon Gorgug ship*

Okay but now I feel compelled to wonder, in that fun AU of CC and Marilyn being Captain and Mary Marvel, what their lives as heroes would be like

Like, villains are the same for the most part with probable lack of antagonism with Sivana, he’s the dude who hired them for the dog in the first place with the public intent of a historical attraction at a park and on the side of the bus he’s campaigning for mayor. Other than that, villains seem to be the same from the brief moments we see.

They stay out of the limelight, they prioritize keeping their identities hidden for the sake of Billy and Mary’s saftey and childhoods, and they take their duties seriously.

But what’s tingling at the brain right now is how they’d interact with the rest of the world of DC, heroes and teams and whatnot, outside of Fawcett and the menagerie of characters there. We know CC accidentally stumbled onto some daring scene with Spy Smasher and the bunch (no joke, time was funky in Fawcett and CC was alive at that time) but I’d love to see him with other heroes

Like, say he fills the normal roles in comics Billy would’ve, joins JLI and, like his son, tries calling the other heroes out for acting like bigger juveniles than his actual kids and ditches bc apparently the people who save the world on the regular cant not try and fist fight the other every few hours. He’s on and off some team, focusing on his city and his family more and more, pops in for bigger fights when they occur but is mostly hometown based and handles his own issues.

Of newer stuff, I turn to YJ’s tv show for another idea. Aka, CC also being a chaperone for the Team at the same time Billy comes in but with a twist, turns out his kids have a percolation for magic and have been getting the hang of some spells so they’re joining the Team too while CC is on chaperone duty. So leads Billy and Mary’s attempt at a slow entrance into heroism that immediately backfires when they get captured, cue heartwarming scene of dad hugging his kids after a dangerous situation that follows him tearing the base apart looking for them. True dad fashion and all that. What becomes complicated is the World Without Grown Ups plot, in which I say have Billy and his had pre-the plot agree that Billy can have Shazam powers for super big emergencies and Billy definitely counts all adults disappearing as an emergency. Cue once more the fun father son bonding of Billy looking just like his old man with Shazam powers.

Onto Marilyn, who unfortunately doesn’t seem to have more beyond “clever” and “good mom” from comics, but she’s got her hutzpah and would probably be as active a hero as CC while still prioritizing her life and family over heroism. The whole Shazam thing is definitely more a job than it is what kind of person she is, she’s an archeologist and likes that profession more than she likes worrying about everyone else. She’s definitely more no nonsense and, if there’s a difference, she’d probably prefer the more grounded crime fighting than the mystical shenanigans CC would do in her stead. Billy and Mary end up closer to her in quality time since that focus of crime fighting keeps her grounded.

Also, the general vibes of the Captain Marvel tropes. Such as the identity shenanigans.

It is a fun thing of fanfic that, since his civilian identity is very vulnerable and people like their identity plots, Billy has his questioned or revealed a lot. Add in CC as Marvel instead and it flips a bit to be a man who is well known in his home city whose entire family, non-powered children included, could easily become targets if anyone knew who he was. And he’s deliberately secretive about it for that purpose, he’s protecting his children with his wife. So, perspective, there’s a new hero who comes in with a hero partner who is also their life partner. They have the power of actual gods and titans, they don’t explain anything past some nebulous Wizard they can’t name as to how they got their powers, they are very hush-hush on their normal lives but everyone knows they have to have one. It’s hard to contact them, you don’t know they’re working or traveling or with their kids because you don’t know they do work or that they have kids, so you worry what they’re up to for what seems to be every hour they aren’t begrudgingly saving the world with the rest of the heroes. You catch them talking to the other but the minute they hear you they clam up and change everything about how they were just a second ago, you could swear they were talking about digs or gods or bringing someone home but you don’t know anything because you don’t know them.

Cue the mistrust, the reveals, how it all goes wrong and someone gets hurt, be it the other when they don’t have their powers or their kids and suddenly you’ve pissed off the man who loves his family so much he was tearing the multiverse open to try and keep the timeline going where they were all alive and happy together and the woman who loves those kids just as much. Or, say that reveal had villains get both of the Batsons, and now those heroes have to look those orphans in the eye and beg forgiveness, and when fate still demands its heroes out comes two new ones that make it seem like the whole Batson sham was fake and no way Marilyn and CC were the Marvels, the marvels are still flying around after they’ve gone and gotten dead and buried. Cue those heroes looking at the new Captain and Mary Marvel, knowing it’s the kids they accidentally made orphans wearing the faces of the friends they betrayed.

I literally cannot express to you how much I love Mary Ann Scuttle you don’t even understand

[bamfwizard]

I've never truly been brought to the point of actually tearing my hair out.

but.

if Uncanny X-Men keeps dropping parent-child dynamics onto Rogue and Gambit.

I just might explode.

[xoxohannas-world]

poor little girl, when did you realize the world was cruel? was it when you understood that you must suffer one way or another—either by others' hands or by your own

[littlemarianah]

"Mama, why are your ears like that?” asked the little girl, for the thousandth time. She gently ran my ear, pinching my missing earlobe with her little fingertips as she laid her head on my shoulder, almost falling asleep.

The little boy in my other arm was already sucking his thumb, sleeping peacefully.

I would run my hand through her hair and say to her. "The fire took it, Willy."

"Long before I was born?" she would ask and I would nod.

“long, long before..." I would say.

She would blink her eyes slowly, even though she was so tired, she would continue talking. She dabbed her tiny fingers along the rough scars on my neck. "Here too?" she asked.

“Yes, here too." I would say.

Her blue eyes would look at my scars curiously, she always made the same questions several times, as if she was trying to understand the facts, try to understand how something like this is possible... For a six years old girl, who didn't know anything worse than hurting her elbow.

“Did it hurt?"

“Yes."

Satisfied with the answer, Willow would fall asleep

Got bored. For the Marie likers
