#this gets sappy

Titus reconciles with Leandros. Forewarning: Fanon, personal interpretation of canon,Gets sappy towards the end

The silence felt so uncomfortable. The recycled air of the battle barge felt chilly to Titus despite his thermal-regulating armor.

The softly sung devotionals of the servo skulls and speakers permeated the Reclusiam. The beautiful impressions and work on the walls gilded in gold detail reflected the artificial light onto Leandros, illuminating his armored form beautifully.

The skull-helmet that covered his aged face was ever set into a stern expression. The red helmet lenses were ever-judging of what it viewed. But underneath it, Titus could sense the rapt attention that he was being paid by the chaplain.

It made what he wanted to say all the more important now. This was the last bridge he wanted to gap. He couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.

“Leandros..” They were alone. This was a more personal way to address the younger Astartes after so long apart, and after a tortuous question left hanging, unanswered. Some part of him wanted to know if Leandros truly suspected him of corruption, or if he simply made of a mistake.

“Titus.” Leandros addressed him in turn.

“Were you firm in your convictions that I was truly corrupted by the warp?” His voice sounded strained, even to him.

“I was. But…” Leandros paused, as if trying to find the words to say.

“You have proven your purity of will time and time again. I have come to believe I was hasty in my judgement. The inquisition has not treated you well.” This seemed like it was difficult for him to admit as well. Titus suspected it was an ego-wound to his Astartes psyche.

He did not know if Leandros had truly moved on from his previous captain’s death or the past.

“And I should have been more direct with you, told you my intentions. Perhaps things would have played out differently.” He sighed.

“Let this be the last time we broach this issue..” The Chaplain replied..

A few slow-heartbeats passed between the two. A small hiss was the needle drop in the silence as Leandros took his helmet off to clip it to his belt.

Titus could see the sunken eyes and pale countenance of his chaplain. The expression he held now told of a weight lifted off his shoulders.

He moved a bit closer to try to comfort the chaplain, disregarding codex protocol.

And unexpectedly, Leandros hugged him.

“Thank you, Titus.” It was softly uttered, but pitched enough for an Astartes to hear.

Titus kissed his forehead and rested his own against the younger man’s in a gentle attempt of comfort.

It did not go unreciprocated as he felt a pair of chapped, scarred lips press against his own.

I like to think combat training for these two became more complicated as they got older, if you know what I mean

I colored the last one first and then lowered my standards. give it up for 10yo ambrosius and his glaringly yellow shirt

Thinking about indulging in masochism as a positive part of play. Like so often I see people talking about a sub getting hit for disobedience or failing to do something or even as just a passive thing that happens and like sure that has its place. But like what about a sub doing a good job so they can earn getting flogged? Warning a brat that you won't bite them for the rest of the night if they keep up the attitude. Offering to beat someone until they're crying as motivation for them to get all their work done? What if the violence was full of love? What if I want your skin to show the world how much I love and care for you?

gay holmes literally means so much to me as a lesbian. like growing up realizing i’m gay and feeling rejected in a lot of areas of my life but having these stories to depend on; it’s so healing to interpret holmes’ withdrawn, “bohemian” nature to be caused by the same feelings of rejection. and also ofc theres something about this little mf surviving decades and getting to grow old w/ his life partner in a time where society hated his existence and it’s like maybe i can get through fucking tuesday. maybe there’s hope for me and i like to think people like me thought that in 1895 too.

It’s just something about John Marston being twenty-six. Little John needs saving again. Twenty-six and he thinks he’s going to bleed out on a snowy mountain top. Twenty-six and he’s watching his friends die all around him. Twenty-six and he’s got a kid and a wife to think about. Twenty-six and one of the only fathers he’s ever known gets shot in front of him. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got left stands idly by while he gets arrested. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got is disappointed to see him out of jail. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got leaves him to die on the side of a railroad track. Twenty-six and he’s on a snowy mountain again, this time saying goodbye to his only brother. Little John needs saving again. Take my hat this time, too. I know, I know. Twenty-six and starting a life. Twenty-six and utterly, completely, absolutely alone.
