Thank you for making me feel not weird for wanting to ask questions!
1.) If doorman is going into the ritual with drifter in him as a symbiote is this changing his/their wish? Does doorman want a divorce like Sinclair or do they both have different goals? Though I suppose this transitions into asking
1.5 How do each of the two of them feel about this? I.e Mr. powerful patron the doorman all of a sudden having a vampiric parasite not only stuck in his body but being able to control parts of it versus Drifter himself who after being cursed by a patron has found himself in the body of another one
2. How does cohabitation work for them? Drifter already in canon has a large appetite but I canβt imagine how it is with him being a symbiote. How would doorman handle it? Would drifter be constantly poking at that hidden desire to slaughter mankind again? Or would he just pester doorman to feed on the guests or other impulsive things.
I feel bad typing this much so Iβll leave it here. Thank you for entertaining questions and Iβll read the au links you listed too!
sorry this took a while. i got really busy and these are really good questions and i wanted to put more thought in answering
1.) im not sure yet if doorman is even participating in the ritual in this AU so i have a few options:
-hes not participating until drifter came. so hes gonna wish him away or maybe even get him his own body depending on how their """relationship""" develops. would be really funny if the patron that cursed him is also the one that they summoned
-if the doorman has something else to wish for on top of drifter maybe wishing for a body (either a whole separate body or taking doorman's depending on the character developments), then the two would have to fight for it. maybe theyd bicker the patrons ears off and decides that since both of them equally contributed, they get their own wishes
1.5) it feels very awkward and weird at first but since theyre both freaks, they eventually realize the merits of coexisting. or if it goes into a bleak turn, the two would constantly fight for control
drifter definitely savors the irony. he did piss off that other patron for fun after all. meanwhile doormans not too enthused since hes just a fledgling god and hes already losing control of himself and his powers which would make him join the ritual
2.) either doorman feeds him regularly (doorman in control) or drifter would have to go on a frenzy to get satiated (drifter in control)
speaking of doorman's past of tormenting mankind, hes definitely met drifter before but in different bodies. sometimes he recognizes him, sometimes he doesnt. drifter always recognizes doorman tho as he can always sense him when nearby. doorman has teased drifter about becoming his host before but he might not survive being inside a fledgling god's body. but now that he "shed his trappings", hes much more compatible....reluctantly this time since hes a wagie now
if doorman's gonna do the feeding, hed stock up on the stuff that drifter likes just to avoid killing anyone but hed sometimes fold to drifters whims
