I took inspiration from a few other posts as well, but I haven't posted those parts of the fic yet, I'll link the posts once I post the chapters. Here's the fic again: You Are The Moon That Breaks The Night
love you bravebyers nation, thankyoubye
“Every version of you deserves to be loved the way you desire to be loved. My peerless paramour, you are the most kindhearted soul I have ever met, and I have no doubt that beautiful soul of yours is the kindest in every universe. My ray of sunshine, there shan’t ever be a situation where you have to take what you can get and be sated with measly morsels and begrudging attentions. You are the altar, not the sacrifice, never beat yourself down for wanting to be helped, needing to be loved or being who you are. Love shall come to you, I can assure you that. There is no universe where your love remains wasted. I wish to kiss you now, if you allow me.”
The concept of Paladin Mike telling Hawkins Will that his true identity is an altar of worship, not a sacrificial lamb. My brain chemistry had been permanently altered. 🥰🙏👏💛💙
Aaaaaaaaa, I'm glad you liked it, thank you for reading it! 💛💙
A little bit of insight nobody asked for: before I started writing any ST fics I made two lists titled "What does Will need?" and "What does Mike need?" and the first item on Will's was To stop putting others before himself, so when I got this idea I figured paladin Mike would be perfect to make him see that, that's where the altar not sacrifice thing came from.
