#still thirsting over drukkari in 2023

[mrtwizz]

i cried reading this at 5am because i’m a whore for drukkari and i can’t find any recent fics aboit drug x reader x makkari

Synodic

Summary: The Eternals are sent to Earth on Arishem’s mission, but they are surprised to meet another immortal who already calls the planet home. As the centuries pass, they all learn there is much more happening beneath the surface. 

A/N: Well, Drukkari has me in an absolute chokehold so, here’s this. I tried to make brief mentions of historical events but it doesn’t really impact the story. There are obviously spoilers for the film and canon-divergence too! I am also playing around a little bit with pulling in the lore from the actual comics. Please let me know what you think!

Pairing: Druig/Makkari/F!Reader (and a surprise or two) 

Rating: PG-13 for brief canonical violence, thoughts of self-loathing and suicidal ideations, and like two sentences of non-explicit smut

Word Count: 12.9k (should this have been a series? probably)

Or read on Ao3 here!

Synodic: adj. relating to or involving the conjunction of stars, planets, or other celestial objects.

The fledgling civilization was calm. The people were kind and did not question your strange clothing or accent as you sat beside them to fish or carve or weave. You simply were. You existed alongside them, defended their soft borders, and helped them build, heal, progress with your ‘sunlight touch’ as they called it.

It had become your home. For now, anyway.

How long had it been since you arrived? Centuries? Millennium? You hardly kept track and it isn’t as if you could remember before—before you woke with dirt in your mouth and an aged woman carefully cleaning your mud-caked skin. Yes, they were kind—you loved them. Protecting them, repaying them for their ineffable gentleness was as easy as breathing, even against the strange creatures that came from the shadows and the deep of the ocean. It had kept you busy, travelling from village to village, tracking the creatures that would wipe the humans from the face of the planet; kept you from focusing on how everyone around you aged while you stayed the same. You knew that you were not from here, you knew that you were different, and you always wondered why the sight of a billion stars at night gave you comfort—but you never had the answers. It was like everything before was a black void in your mind. So, you had decided to make new memories, help these people move forward and progress through the ages, inherently knowing what they needed.

You’d barely noticed the large ship blotting out the horizon as you pushed the body of the strange monster off the nearest cliff edge. The scratch you’d received from the creature’s death throes stitched itself back together before the body was swallowed by the ocean. It was the sudden stillness from the village behind you that caught your attention.
