GHOSTBIRD

this fanfic is a oneshot. no matter how big this fanfic is. this fanfic shall remain a oneshot. no matter how big it is. it's a oneshot. big oneshot. but oneshot.

"if you do it, i know he'll do it too!"

and at first he doesn't get it "it makes no sense", he doubts. not only because he wants to do shit, but because he doubts godwyn would get actually influenced by him. "he doesn't care about me, he's just a spoiled brat"

but it does work. it always work. if it's to wear a certain kind of clothes, doing a certain activity, behaving in a certain way... if his older brother is doing it, then it's cool enough for godwyn to do it too.

and something clicks inside messmer. he feels seen. he feels important. this tiny, annoying brat cares enough about him to change his manners just to be a little bit like him. and it's more than that, because godwyn is the golden child, while messmer is cursed, he hates his own kindling. why would godwyn want anything to do with a brother like this?
