All’s

Just

Have I recommended A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin to you? The protagonist is a composite person with the different parts very meshed.

That sounds familiar, so I believe you have! I need to get around to reading that!!

something similar to garnet from steven universe? being of two people but now functioning as one, a fully formed new individual as the product of a relationship between the two?

That would be one way to do it, yeah! She’s a really fully integrated individual, and her two components only really come into play when they have a disagreement. We don’t see much of her internal processes, so it’s unclear how different she is from a singular gem, and that could be interesting to flesh out in either fandom. I’d say she’s close to being one body and one mind that occasionally splits into two of each, than the 1.5 combo being that I’d be most interested in seeing though.

I just feel like a lot of fic focuses on their relationship as a romantic, cohabiting one that emphasizes the differences and separation between Eddie and Venom, sometimes even explicitly having Venom develop their own identity (often called V/Vee and sometimes going by “I” instead of “we”) as an individual over time and gaining a more human sense of self than they had at the start. Which is a totally valid and interesting thing to explore! But I also want to take a look at the flipside, taking Venom’s “we” and the meshing of two very different beings from very different backgrounds and diving into that to see what kinds of forms it could take.

We’ve never really been close, really? We only know eachother because I went over to… Jay’s, that one time, and it happened to be the day Hawkins came for a regular visit. They’re, um, cousins, y'know. It was awkward, we don’t click at all, and after that we never saw eachother again.

But then shit hit the fan, and, you know my whole ‘getting myself away from everyone else’ thing, uh, isolation is the word, yeah, and it’s gotten bad, and funnily enough Hawkins was in a similar state for different reason at the same time, so we kinda got close over that, and just. Stuck to eachother for comfort. And Hawkins said something about combining our best quality? Like, they said they really could use my passion for things, and I can really use their- their smarts, y'know, I’m dumb as a doornail I admit.
