Not weird at all! I’ve had similar questions in the past.

I commissioned the amazingly talented and super nice @joeyhxdson to draw El Rook for @seedlingsinner as a gift! Rhi, you’re super awesome and I love your deputy! I wanted to do something nice for you! 🌸

This is a part of an adopted Duncan sibling AU/fic, which I’m getting my own OC to fill in for me. Still has a long way to go, but at least I know where I want it to end up haha. Enjoy!

As strange as it may have been to admit, John wanted companionship. He wanted a network that would love and support him, that would understand him on a level that very few could. He had hoped that he would find that in his brothers. That they would understand the utter fragility and despair that came from having your life on a string; that they would understand his wrath at the injustice of it all, at the absolute unfairness and cruelty of the world. That they would understand his disgust and resentment at a society that doesn’t and would never give a damn about you, that is filled with liars and cheats and scum. And he had found that understanding in his brothers. At least, for a time he thought he had. But just like everyone else they didn’t fully understand. They didn’t understand like she did.

It is often said that people don’t know what they have until it’s gone, and John hadn’t realised how true that statement was until he left. No one had come close to his Lilian. No one had ever come close to understanding him like she did; his dear, innocent little sister.

It had been so tough without her. The vast majority of their lives were spent together. They had been through it all, side by side. Every event their parents forced them to attend, every beating they were made to stand and watch, every lesson their parents saw fit to teach them; and even when John had fallen headfirst into his addictions, and Lilian had gotten lost to the point of self neglect. They had always been a pair; thick as thieves. She had never abandoned him, even when there were times when he thought she would be better off without him.

He got to see her smile every day, saw that fond gleam in her own blue eyes every time he looked at her. Saw how alive and bright they became everytime she picked up an instrument, or reflected on the good times she had; both with and without him. No longer was the colour of her eyes dulled down by her silent disappointment in him everytime he did a line or picked up a syringe. They no longer looked void and soulless, just like they did everytime they’re parents spoke or put their hands on her. She was happy; John was happy.

Everything was going so well.
