✅️ the captain is known colony-wide for never letting themself rest until every. single. task is done. when Celci yelling at them fails to work, Engineer follows them around with a cup of coffee and the face of a concerned grandmother 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

💤 after.. everything.. both of them tend to have nightmares of the whole ordeal. Cap is happy to let Mark crawl into their bed whenever need be, and vice versa <3

💢 the Captain will *never* fail to remind Engi of their height difference. elbow on his head or ruffling his hair with a big grin, Cap's favorite sight is seeing him swat their hand away

💪 on the other hand, Mark is insanely strong compared to the Captain's scrawny ass. if he's feeling insane enough, he'll pick Cap up bridal-style and waltz around the Colony until he has decided he's gotten his revenge ,,

⭐️ both of them have this running gag of Engi pretending to be Actor!Mark and Cap acting disgusted when he tries to kiss them (bonus: for the love of fuck do not mention the Date around Engineer. the most jealous bastard ever he will mope in a corner for hours)

🛌 Captain is an early bird, who *needs* to get out of bed before the asscrack of dawn ("what will the colonists think?") and Engi, who is, again, much stronger than them, is happy to pull Cap in for early morning cuddles. much to their dismay <3

🌹with all the new flora being discovered on the planet, Captain makes it a habit to leave a vase full of fresh flowers on Mark's desk every once in a while. it starts out as sweet and romantic until they start competing for the better/prettiest plant. it stops as soon as Mark somehow plants a fucking tree in Captain's room

🧠 sometimes, when everything seems to be going well, there are days Mark will avoid the Captain. the crew and the rest of the colony are never sure why, but Cap will think back to the bright blue of the warp core. they will find him hiding with the colony children, hold Mark's hands and promise him that none of his past mistakes will ever matter again. that he is good and kind and worthy of redemption. and they kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and

ISWM + Iron Lung Crossover Ideas

Now listen, because they would address why the fuck the Engineer looks exactly like Simon, and it's startling and weird and it makes Simon feel even more scummy than he already does.

And, it's honestly quite a straightforward explanation: they are the same person.

Because this isn't just a situation where Simon is a man out of time, out of his universe, and far, far away from home. It's a situation where Simon is being forced to witness what home would've looked like had his universe not cannibalized itself... and even worse: witness what he himself could have been, had he not been beaten down into what he is now.

A lively dreamer with a knack for building incredible things, however naive.

And, fuck, oh what Simon would've done to have the opportunity to grow into a naive man.

I don't ship convineer, but I see their dynamic as an opportunity for Simon to meet himself as a better man, and to cycle through the rage, the hope, the bargaining, the awe of a universe untouched by blood. To grapple with the grief of seeing himself with a damn sparkle in his eye.

And the Engineer, dismissing Simon as a quirk of the universal paradox; a byproduct. Nothing to worry about or think about too hard. Meanwhile, Simon was pushed into the light to meet the red-eyed god and found a new reality instead. Perhaps it was an accident. Perhaps the red-eyed god chose this for him. Perhaps this was Simon's enlightenment. His salvation.

Or, and he dreads to feel this way, a lie. I don't think Simon would ever come to terms with anything being real. For all he knows, he could be hallucinating as he suffocates on the floor of the SM-13.

The Engineer getting his universe back in order at the Captain's side was all he needed, strangeness be damned. Pining after his Captain blissfully unaware that Simon had to live through the betrayal of his own. Both of them being egotistical pricks in completely opposite directions at the same time.

The Engineer never understands the depth of Simon's sorrows, because he never saw what the Quiet Rapture did to people. What Eden - the C.O.I. - made him do. Never understood why Simon keeps demanding to see Mars when it's such a mundane hunk of rock...

The Engineer could never fathom himself a cold-blooded murderer, and yet Simon stands as a testament to that. An ever-present reminder of his worst self.

And Simon struggles with feeling like he is the worst version of himself. He knows that. He doesn't need to be told by some asshole who got to have the universe at his fingertips.

The Engineer watching the Captain extend their niceties to this quiet guest who does nothing but bitch about his crew, about his friends, about his ship. Because why is this guy suddenly getting so much attention from the Captain?

Loathing. On both parts.

And on the Captain's view of things, of course they'd want to do everything possible to make sure Simon is okay, because all they can see is Mark, traumatized, angry, and cold, and they'll be damned if even a single further instance of him is abandoned on their watch.

It's a mind fuck for the Captain as much as it is to everyone else, because now they have to keep two extreme sides of the same coin from killing each other.

Simon wouldn't know how to tell time, because neither IMC or EIC calendars exist. His age doesn't add up to anyone on board, either, because his native clock - Martian years - are nearly double that of Earth's. Simon would have no idea how far back - or forward - he would have been sent.

Simon would develop some kind of OCD-like tendency about checking the windows to make sure the stars are still there.

Simon wouldn't know what to do with rations and cushy supplies on-board fit for an entire colony. Please, I'm begging you to watch this clip from the Fallout TV Show. It shows exactly what I'm talking about. The confusion of healthy living.

The feuding between the Engineer and Simon would end in someone getting their shit rocked, obviously. Simon is too much of a brute to want to open up to such an annoying bastard, and nothing the Engineer says ever gets taken seriously by Simon.

So, things get messy. A busted lip, someone getting their head slammed into a computer keyboard after saying one too many off-handed comments. A screaming match. Someone from the crew having to break them up, and the Captain having to actually reprimand them for once.

Slowly realizing that they both want the same thing: to just fucking live, and be, and exist without something more powerful commanding its will over them, whether it be a crystal or a god.

Of course, it's all an allegory for accepting the duality of man and whatnot. Learning to accept the ugly parts of yourself, or you will never unify as a whole and grow.

But that's for the subtext.

Oh, and Simon suffocating on the floor of the SM-13 and hallucinating the entire thing may or may not be true in this storyline of mine, because all Simon wants to do in his last moments is picture a universe where he got to be somebody great.
