vera’s trial & error at guessing potential targets for this particular reaper ( or at least that’s what she assumes he is ) have so far been sub par. for most reapers, or those who take up the mantle --- Captain America John Walker --- deaths are not random. the elderly or ships fated for stormy waters tend to have a posted employee, but this dark loom of a man’s destruction is chaotic & void of pattern. 

so far he’s been moving up the pacific; the only tell she has is the echo of power left behind his visits : too extraordinary for an ungifted being. having just shadowed through a small town, foggy docks late at night in the big city a mile away are as good a guess as any for his whereabouts & she’s done a lot of guessing the last few months. 

thankfully a murder mystery setting is exactly the right spot. 

Send me a 🇧🇷 and I will tell you a Brazilian song that reminds me of your muse || @shadowselved

I thought of a fun one, that I think could fit the relationship between Eddie and Bruce specifically (aka... unwarranted hate)

"Joana" by Ana Carolina. In this one, the singer says how much she dislikes this woman called Joana, but the reasons she lists? Most are very dumb like "I dislike her nails" "Joana is a bit problematic, she wastes her time studying physics and mathematics" "I hate Joana, her pale face with rosy lipstick." The only thing Joana seems to do is implicating with the singer when she puts Billie Holiday to play.

My fav lines are the ones at the end:

This is the song I made in the day I took

To bad mouth Joana

I also dedicate my dislike

To this song without importance

But I know we will be eternal

Me,

Billie Holiday,

                                        ❛   you’ll   be   taken   down   brick   by   brick   by   brick .   ❜

The mortal realm was always such an interesting place to be, even if only to visit from time to time. They had such curious little places to eat and explore and adventure through that he found it difficult to stay away for lengthy stretches of time. A soft-spot, perhaps, but one he could indulge without drawing too much attention from the other Courts. On that particular afternoon, he was sitting at a table in the sun, just outside a fancy boardwalk-side cafe. He’d been sitting there for some time if the array of empty dishes and cups was any indication.

Shmi

Just adopt him pls Shmi

Here’s some trash: Shmi doesn’t get murdered by tusken raiders, but she does lose Anakin to the dark side. Khan is sent to Tatooine (because the Republic, or I guess the remnants of it, aren’t always angels eithers) to take her as leverage against Darth Vader. Angst ensues and Khan has mommy issues so pls adopt him

Or just, a reiteration of what we’re sort of already doing; Khan is sent by Palps to get Anakin before the Jedi discover him so pre-Phantom Menace, but obviously Khan hates being forced to work with the burgeoning Empire. He’s not down with ripping a kid from his mom, particularly because he had a rough childhood himself as a created super soldier/precursor clone. He’s buying time while he wrestles with what decision to make, and meanwhile Shmi is showing him kindness and oh my god why is she so nice to him when he’s literally like “I’m here to take your kid” skfjds

Bonus points if he takes Shmi to see another planet

Bonus bonus points if it ends horribly and Khan dies at the end or something

Something from her modern verse: Maybe after Shmi gets out but still works as a maid, Khan hires her because he’s... a rich mob boss lmao. And even though she tries to let him do his thing, it’s a dangerous life and rivals of his are not above going after literally everyone around him, personal or not, so he finds himself in a role where he needs to protect her and Anakin. Or what if a good ol’ kidnapping plot, where it’s just a day where she had to bring her son (Khan doesn’t care), but his rivals are like “what if this kid means something to Khan” and boom, he has to get her kid back Taken(tm) style, but like... worse because he’s kinda psychotic

Or also in Shmi’s modern verse, but before she’s paid off her parent’s debt this thing from your wishlist; but Shmi is married to Khan to pay off her parent’s debt maybe......

Kylo:

I really just want a nemesis plot. I mean just straight up rivals and they hate each other and it’s probably misplaced because they’re both lost souls….. but nah they’re just assholes to each other

Or what if....... what if both lost souls but they form a weird bond?? like something they don’t talk about ever because lmao why would they, but it’s there and they’re ride or dies

An actual idea: Emperor Kylo and his ”faithful” knight Khan. Can result in fun things like betrayal or, on the flip side, them deciding there’s an actual respect/friendship there??

Another actual idea: ADMIDALA KYLO THO?? AND BODYGUARD KHAN???

Rogue:

Okay but little hydra experiment khan and little runaway rogue meeting each other

hydra has its sights set on Rogue and sends Khan maybe

khan going to prof x’s school post-defection from hydra and just... can’t fit in, continually causes unrest, corrupts rogue/unintentionally (?) exploits her self-doubt following the whole Apocalypse thing B)

Aether:

Clash of universes where Khan, while escaping from Starfleet before Into Darkness, happens up the Aether, who is one of Admiral Marcus’ prized “possessions”. He frees her-- accidentally maybe, or on intentionally because empathy/just hates the admiral That Much(tm), they can wreak havoc together??

Or, because he’s Khan, he’s like “you should help me” but..... manipulatively idk

Lancelot:

Fey Khan! Fey Khan! Fey Khan being the Fey that The Weeping Monk can’t seem to kill. c; I… have nothing more than this, because I’ve yet to watch the show, but I have Wikipedia at my disposal……

I see your modern verse with a cult, and I raise you Khan and Lancelot both being raised in cults. Okay, so I already have a cult verse, and I’m always wanting to scream about it, but I’ll tone it down to mesh more with Lancelot’s verse (… unless??). Anyway, in Khan’s thing, he’s a cult leader, the enigmatic head of the Church of Starry Wisdom. He’s absolutely a sinner and maybe the bane of Father Cardan’s existence? What if it’s Khan that sways Lancelot and makes him question everything??

Carina:

I’m dumb but I do have a mermaid hunter/sailor verse for Khan and maybe he knows where to find Hector, just sayin’
