I cannot stop thinking about a character that works at the Magnus Institute and is dating Elias... but constantly talks about their distaste for the original leadership, Jonah Magnus. Does he eventually admit to them who he is, or is he left just constantly having to awkwardly make small talk about how much he sucks? This idea just amuses me so much. What do you think would end up happening?
Elias with an S/O who Hates Jonah Magnus
Is this fun, Elias asks. Is this providing entertainment? Am I a masochist, Elias asks.
You’re talking in-depth of all the flaws at the start of the Institute, most are just problems that had been fixed but some issues still persisted. You’re just surprised Elias was able to fix what he could in this clusterfuck! He’s always been good at things like that. You always appreciated how he listens to your complaining about this.
You’ve been dating for a few months. Of course, he didn’t know the... extent of your dislike of his old self until about a month in, but he was too enamored by you to care. Much. It was funny at first, it really was! There’s only so much of that a man can take after a while. This needs to change, very soon.
It takes him three months to plan his great confession. It involves wine, a week-long vacation, and a lot of cleaning the Panopticon. He does it for you, his dearest love. As he leads you through the narrow tunnels, with you marveling at the mystery of what could be down here, he knows what he’s doing is the right thing. And you reach the Panopticon. Elias made it beautiful for you.
He sets you down, the corpse of himself carefully hidden from view. He starts to explain every little thing to you, first explaining the horrors and terrors of this world. Second, you are provided every evidence of the Entities, with Elias telling you what each of them does, settling into talking about the Eye. His voice and monologue reach a crescendo when you stop him. Jonah, I think you left out the Buried.
He looks at you with his jaw hitting the floor. “You... know... everything already?” You giggle. If you’ve told him once, you’ve told him a million times, he’s the biggest idiot you’ve ever known. Regardless, you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him.
