Angsty ideas by piracytheorist what's new

Hey so if you don't know me you will now and something about me is that I love whump, aka seeing my favourite fictional characters suffer. Like, suffer a lot, physically, emotionally, mentally, anything goes.

And with Twilight being a spy my mind just automatically goes "He's going to get captured one day and he will be tortured and it will be glorious :)" but then. Questions emerge. In my mind it would happen post-identity reveal and after the Forgers realize they want to stay together, so what would stop Yor from searching out for her missing husband and wreaking absolute havoc upon seeing that they're torturing him?

It was a question that's been bouncing around my head since I came up with that scenario. One idea I had was that this happens while Ostania's government is slowly falling apart, and more and more actions towards peace are taken. Orders for disarming, peace treaties, whatever goes idk how that shit works. Meanwhile, the SSS are sending pictures of tortured Twilight (and maybe a tooth or two) to the Western embassy in Ostania to provoke them. WISE decides to not do anything about Twilight, because things are just going so well and maybe they'll get an actual chance at peace and exposing the SSS's violence against one of their agents will make all of that effort crumble down. Sylvia reluctantly agrees to not do anything, because as much as it pains her to see Twilight like that, she knows he'd rather be tortured and killed than risk the peace and cause further conflict.

So I was asking myself, how would Yor stand for this? How long until Sylvia's words that this is what Twilight would want became crumbs to her worry about her husband's safety and life? For how long could Sylvia stop her, and how guilty would Yor feel for standing by while she knew he was being tortured?

And then I thought, well, easy solution, Yor gets discovered and has to take Anya and Bond and run away and hide, so she cannot go back for Loid. Now she has to stay away, but wouldn't that be too convenient, for her to be discovered just when her taking action would cause the promise for peace to shatter?

Well, just yesterday I thought that it wouldn't be "plot convenient"... if it was Sylvia who reported her. Twilight knew she's the Thorn Princess, but tried hiding it from Sylvia. Sylvia doesn't know all the details, but she knows Yor was hiding something, something which then Twilight hid from her. So when she suspects Yor is about to risk everything... Sylvia calls the SSS on her. Yor is forced to run away and leave Loid behind.

But after a while, everything between the two countries is set in peace. Maybe they're united, idk, something. So Yor comes to Sylvia's place and is like "You either help me get him out or you die right now." Sylvia just takes out the blueprints of the place the now defunct but still working in the shadows SSS is keeping Loid - she was just about to go rescue him herself. They rescue him but during the escape he puts himself in front of Yor and takes a bullet for her. They know WISE cannot provide sufficient medical care so they have to take him to the hospital. Despite all the political resolutions he's still considered a criminal, and Yor is still wanted, so there's heavy security outside the room he's kept in and Yor has no quiet and non-violent way of getting in. She manages to sneak in once while he's still fighting for his life, but then things get too intense and she has to stay away.

Twilight wakes up - he was informed that Yor was exposed while he was in captivity - and sees Sylvia, who tells him how they have peace now etc etc and he realizes it was her who reported Yor.

He understands why Sylvia did it, truly, he does. He wouldn't have had it any other way. But he also can't help hating her. Sylvia doesn't ask for forgiveness, doesn't pride herself in her choice; she knows that for the rest of her life she'll carry the burden of having destroyed the life the Forgers had built, of the thought that she would do it again for the sake of peace, and of the thought that despite hating her, the man whose life she ruined cannot blame her.

Of course, I'm not a fan of super sad endings so the Forgers reunite not too long after, and Sylvia would be one of those who help them get back together, but until that happens I want to see the angst and pain to make the happy ending more satisfying.

Anyway this is rambling and I avoid manga spoilers like the plague so please don't spoil me if anything like that happens or even is so much as mentioned thank
