I know we’re enjoying the angst potential of Adrian’s s/o being in danger from an external source… but what if it wasn’t as simple as that? What if you were just missing, here one day and gone the next? Who does he ask when there’s no one to talk to? Or what if the danger was internal— mind control, or possession? How does he fight something he hates when it’s hiding in something he loves? 😳
STOOOOOOOOOOP i'm so fully of the mind that adrian will let the person he loves kill him before he will kill them himself. imagine. oh my god imagine okay like i know i'm going a little sideways here but stay with me. thinking about "amok time" episode of star trek: tos. just like not literally the same but similar vibes. and the reader is literally mind-controlled to kill adrian and the only thing that will break them out of it is killing him so adrian fights them and lets them win and lets them kill him out of love for them and then the reader wakes up and is out of the mind control and sees him dead. and freaks out. but he's not actually dead because like duh he realized what was happening and they just used some bones mccoy-esque technology to slow his heart rate enough to make you believe he was dead and break the conditioning or whatever. anyways this idea has made me go cuckoo bananas thank you for this i'm sorry i got so specific on you
