i read this comment and i did a random consideration. (@froysaintgnue)
i agree, brett’s dead was awful and i’m still not over it. he just didn’t deserve to die, he was very helpful even if he might have been underrated.
personally, i don’t want theo, to die not only because of thiam, but because he’s one of my favorite characters ever and he just can’t die after all this development, it would be meaningless. anyways, liam is one of my favorite too.
liam lost hayden. he almost lost scott, malia and lydia - and they will leave eventually. stiles already did. mason and corey will go to the same college without him. brett and lory died. theo is pretty much the only person he has left.
imagine liam losing theo. even if you don’t like them in a romantically way. imagine liam losing the only person who can calm him down. imagine him losing the one who always listens when he talks. imagine him losing the one who always supports his plans. imagine liam losing theo while they’re fighting together. liam would never forgive himself, he would blame himself for his dead like he did for brett and lory’s. he would be so mad, lose his control. he wouldn’t have nobody who can calm him down for real.
then theo appears in a flashback like brett did, but with a very different intention. he would tell liam that it wasn’t his fault. that what happen was part of his redemption. that it’s okay. that the important thing is that he survived, and not only because he’s scott’s beta, but because he cared about him. “we’ve grown close those times, didn’t we, dumbar?” and liam softly smiling with tears in his eyes. theo would tell liam to go to college and go ahead with his life, but not to forget him. that he would always be by his side, cause “we’re a kick-ass duo”.
then, if you ship them romantically…
imagine theo telling him “i did it because i loved you. i love you and i always will. and i’m sorry didn’t say anything…” and liam would smile, saying something like “your actions did. and i knew it when we looked at each others… i knew it when you saved me. i knew that i loved you too. always will.”
and theo would smirk, proud of his little wolf.
“you’ll be an amazing alpha, liam. i wish i was there to see it myself.”
