So...I came up with a bad ending to my Howard Morose au. Here Phillip fails to convince Gunths to take him back to the island to save Howard. This results in Howard fully succumbing to his stockholm syndrome and becomes fully loyal to Thomas and fully falls for him. (Spoiler alert the bad ending is canon to my au's story line)
Since I'm here I'll go ahead and give you the good ending. Gunths let's Phillip go back to the island so Howard and be saved. When Phillip returns to the island Howard unconscious inside the manor/lab. Thomas summons the old great one to try to stop Phillip. Phillip manages to put the god back to sleep, and Thomas tries to stop Phillip himself...only of Thomas to be eaten by his pet. Phillip runs inside to retrieve Howard. He picks him up and returns to the boat (which isn't destroyed here) and returns to the mainland. Once back Howard is taken to the hospital. Phillip stays with Howard during the healing process and once Howard is released they move in together. Months later they started to date and a few months later after that they get married and Phillip promises himself to treat Howard better than Thomas did when Howard was still married to the madman.
Phillip Maude and Howard Plunkett are happily married in the good ending.
Maybe I'll have them be Phillip Plunkett and Howard Maude lol.
