why couldnt I be normal? why couldnt I just not have had a ptsd breakdown that didn’t derail my life completely? why couldnt I have kept doing schoolwork? why couldn’t I have felt nothing like I did all those years? Why was I so damn impressionable? I had everything. I was good at everything. nothing but a failure now. Gifted kid. Sorry kid. Freaked out at authority because of what they did to me, kid. no one knew. Why didn’t you tell me kid? Why are you like this kid?
What do you think would have happened to them if they had not been able to get their happy ending? But not just them, I mean, what would they have done if their partners (Snow White, Ariel, Alice, etc.) ended up "dying"
for example: if the apple ended up killing Snow White or she simply never managed to wake up, if Alice lost her life to the Jabberwocky or if Ariel ended up having a tragic fate again, for example, turning into sea foam like in the original story.
What would happen to the recruits? In addition to mentally and emotionally, would they end up trapped in the anti-kingdom forever and would its villains be the ones who would have their "happy ending"?
Ooooooooohhh boy is this a loaded question.
For the sake of this post not being too long I am only going to list the stories that have been written with their alternate endings. If I'm inspired enough, I might try to post an actual bad ending on my patreon.
APPLE POISON & SNOW WHITE from my telling of Black Apple Poison
Adam's bad ending would essentially be:
a. He kills Snow White while trying to save her with true love's kiss.
b. He would have lost the battle against Grunes, and would have essentially died.
c. The Evil Queen would remain the most powerful being in Apfel and Frederick would have died a horrible and painful death for choosing to join forces with Adam.
JACK HEART & ALICE KINGSLEY from my telling of The Last Card
This one was so hard because there are so many intricate parts to this one.
a. If the Queen would have had Jack's card, he would no longer exist, and she would completely lose sight of herself and never be able to return and would have killed the White Queen to remain supreme queen of Underland.
b. Alice's mind would have fractured, and she never would have returned to the normal world. She would remain on the run for her life because "it was her fault" Jack died, and she'd never be able to return to the normal world.
c. Both Alice and the Queen of Hearts would try to conjure up another type/form/being that could have been Jack, both will fail and fall into a never-ending loop of sorrow that not even Father Time could reverse.
EIGHT FOOT JOE & ARIEL from my unfinished but outlined telling of Three Hearts.
I know many of you are impatiently waiting for me to do something with this one, however, I have to at least get Black Apple Poison published first because the burnout I had for this story was so bad. T^T
Note this is following the story of Disney's originally animated telling of the Little Mermaid.
a. Ursula would never had changed and would have killed her niece, either through the heartbreak of pretending to be Vanessa, or under the water.
b. Joe would go on a complete rampage, pure blind rage with years of pain and grieving used in both his magic and attacks in full force and the little kingdom of Tirulia will be wiped off the map and forgotten from history.
c. After destroying Tirulia he would return to the see as an angry grieving creature causing destruction under the sea until he is banished to the dark depths.
Now as in terms of what would happen to the Recruits once they achieved a bad ending, well, since their stories are more or less like a time capsule for their branch of the story to exist, they would remain in that bubble of the bad ending until Mr. V could essentially go back and 'rewrite' things with a less sad/cruel ending. The Recruits would also be more or less in a state of sleep as well.
I know these aren't particularly dark, they could always be more, but it's a very good rough summary of the scene in my head. I hope this is enough to satiate your curiosity for now~
https://www.eenet.org.uk/enabling-education-review/enabling-education-7/newsletter-7/7-11/#:~:text=Colombia%20has%20the%20highest%20percentage,Colombia's%20long%2Dstanding%20civil%20war. I was studying about it and there are children between 9 and 15 years old in these groups. This kind of thing happens in several places around the world where there is great armed conflict, being the biggest place of incidence in Africa. It made me think (besides being sad over this crap) what would a Yautja do if he ran into one or a group of child soldiers? It is confirmed that sometimes they go hunting where there are wars, but what if in the middle of the hunt he bumps into one that has just killed an enemy soldier and is now pointing the gun at him?Would that affect your code of honor?
It's a sad thing, but to answer your question:
There are a couple of nuances to your question, actually. Taking this from a combative standpoint the question narrows down to:
Does the fact that this a child protect them from being killed despite the fact that a weapon is being used?
No. It doesn't. Not automatically. The code of honor is usually boiled down to the idea that you shouldn't hunt children. They are never to be involved in an organized hunt as targets like Dutch or Harrigan. If these children pose a genuine deathly threat then sadly yes, they would be killed.
That being said
A child is not going to be a genuine threat to a Yautja. Ever. City Hunter took a shotgun blast to the fact by an experienced cop and all it did was stun him. Jungle Hunter had to be tricked and have a log dropped on him by an experienced military man, Dutch.
These children are not equipped to harm a yautja in a way that matters. Whatsoever. If -somehow- a child was able to outmanuver a yautja to the point of driving it to murder them, then that yautja would be considered dishonorable anyway, likely disowned by their clan for sheer incompetence.
As for what I think a yautja would actually do in this situation? Disarm and likely kidnap them. Take them somewhere safe. Out of a sense of honor and duty, they would try to rectify this in whatever way they could.
I'm having a terrible time trying to find it online, but there is a comic where a yautja saves a child from being murdered by his father. I'll link the pages if I can find them.
I dont know if its too dark but if its just erased it!!!
I know you already write an ask about S/O having a baby even if that means s/o dying
BUT how about S/O and skelly having a well going pregnancy but in the moment of birth... s/o dies? Like, something happend that cause their death, not even having a chance to hold their baby,,,
Well dang. Sad! Lol
sorry it took me so long to get back to yours. I have a lot of asks ^^'
I'm trying to get them all answered in a timely way without making people wait too long.
Also hope you don’t mind the characters that I picked! I wanted these to be long. If you have any special characters you want, then send the ask again and ask for them, please :)
Sans- Today was the day! Sans was so happy! He and his datemate were having a baby! He's always wanted kids. During the whole pregnancy he did everything he could for her and would panic sometimes even if it was just a kick. Yeah, he might have overreacted a lot, but it was just because he loved his datemate and wanted the best for them. Now it was the day! There were a few things that he was worried about, like for quite a bit of time before the whole water breaking, Y/n had some abdominal pain but they told him that it was fine and nothing too bad. Y/n also was more sensitive to light which was worrying but they kept telling him that everything was fine! Papyrus was here with him, talking excitedly like "I'm going to be an uncle!" he was so happy about it, and Undyne told him that he did good and even pat his skull which was a tad strange, as he was you know, older than her but eh whatever. He saw the doctor come out making his grin go up and he jumps up walking over holding a balloon which was tied around his wrist. It was a 'it's a boy!' Balloon but Frisk crossed out boy and put a piece of paper that said 'babybones' "Hey there, how's Y/n and the baby? Can we go to see them?" then... he noticed something. The way the guy looked upset, the air felt cold... he didn't like it so he gulps "Can we go see them?" he asked, a bit more force behind his words. The doctor explained that something went wrong and that Y/n died during the birth, and the baby had to be taken away quickly to be put onto tubes to make sure it would stay alive. Sans couldn't listen to all of it, he felt like he was underwater, everything was murky. Y/n was gone? His babybones was... he felt sick to his stomach and he didn't even know that he had one of those! He needs to sit down so he just sat down on the floor hugging himself as tears streamed down his cheeks. This was his fault! He didn't mean to make his datemate die to have his babybones. He can't do this again; he can't raise another person all alone. Please come back.
Papyrus- Today they were at the hospital. Why? Because Papyrus' datemate was pregnant with his babies! Twins, which he was very excited about. He loves the idea of his child having a friend forever and twins are the best way for that. Undyne was there and rambling about how cool it was and she was hoping that they'd have two different eye colors, like the twins in her shows! Alphys tried to tell her that that isn't exactly how it works out, but Undyne ignored her. Sans kept making puns! Like he said that he couldn't even tell that Y/n was pregnant, cause the baby was inapparent... come on Sans. Then he asked what was taking so long! It's like this wait time has been waiting a maternity. Papyrus had to groan at that. Toriel was giggling and has been telling him all about how to take care of babies but he was sure that he and his amazing, slightly less than himself, datemate would be able to handle it! When finally, the doctor came out he was happy and jumped up, running over holding his hand to his chest as he says "Hello doctor! I, the great Papyrus, is the datemate of the human, Y/n, that you took back there. Our babybones are supposed to be born now. How are they and my amazing wonderful datemate?" the way that the doctor looked made Papyrus... nervous. He asked again hoping that the doctor just didn't hear him! Yes, most likely! Then the doctor told them all that Y/n had died during the birth of the twins because their body just couldn't handle it. Papyrus listened, and he heard the others saying how sorry they were, or they didn't say anything. His body felt frozen, like he couldn't say anything, or do anything. What? Oh well uh... he turns his head away then down for once... not sure what to say. His datemate was going to be gone? He wasn't going to be able to see them again? He asks the doctor if he was fully sure, if there was no way that his datemate could still be alive that they're just wrong? The doctor told him that no, they were sure, and that broke Papyrus' heart he hugged onto his brother, sitting on his knees, and just sobbed. The sounds and force behind his cries shook his bones. Did he do something wrong to deserve this? He thought he was a good boy! He thought... He didn't know what he did wrong.
Blueberry- Blueberry couldn't believe that he was going to be having a babybones with his datemate! When he told the others though, Alphys laughed and told him that that was one of the best jokes she's heard from him! Stretch gave her a look of 'shut up' while Blueberry got a little upset and told her that it wasn't a joke! It was offensive that she thought he would even joke about that type of thing. She sunk down and smiles sheepishly mumbling that she was sorry. That's why they're now in the hospital, and he was twirling his thumbs between his fingers rocking back and forth slightly where he was sitting. Everything was going well they were told, but he was still nervous. Sometimes Y/n said that they felt sick and were always so dizzy so they had to stay in the bed more often but they were told that it would be fine and Y/n was fine! That's... the truth, right? He felt a hand get placed onto his shoulder making him flinch away and he looks over quickly to see Asgore who was holding Chara, a relaxed smile on his bearded face and he says "Hello Blue, are you feeling alright?" Chara raises their hand, waving with a little smile on their face. He hums, thinking about it, rubbing his neck as he answered "I think I'm alright? I mean... j-just nervous but the magnificent Sans would never become too nervous to be there for his amazing datemate!" he laughs putting his hands on his hips, even though he was sitting making Stretch chuckle. Asgore smiles a little himself and nods in approval, starting to say things that he should most likely do for a baby while Stretch interrupts saying that it's going to be a human and skeleton mix, so they'll most likely not need way too much help. Blueberry didn't like how they started to go back and forth, even Toriel rolling her eyes looking tired of them and whatever they were doing. Finally, the doctor came out making him perk up and he grins hopping out of the chair and points up at the other two boys "You two, stop arguing and sit down! You can both help me and Y/n raise our babybones. Since they're half human and half skeleton, I can use both of your helps" Stretch sticks his tongue out and takes Chara and sits down Asgore looking offended but chuckles shaking his head, sitting down as well. They were close friends. He walks over to the doctor putting his hand to his chest "Hello, my name is Blueberry, or at least a nickname. I hope not to bother you, if you're busy, but you went with my datemate to have our babybones! How are they both doing?" he looked so excited, but the smile and star shapes went away when he saw how sad the doctor looked Alphys snaps asking what happened? They were told that Y/n had died during the birth and one of the twins passed but the other one was still alive, just needed to be watched over carefully for the next few days. He heard people saying that they were sorry but Sans wasn't listening. Why were they saying sorry? That... isn't going to bring them back.
Stretch- It was honestly strange. Stretch... never really thought that he'd go and have kids himself, you know? After his and his brother's childhood, he never thought he would ever want his own children. Yet now he was here, in the hospital, where his datemate was having their kids in the backroom. He was so thrilled! Just... very nervous. Everything was going so fast but also so slow, and he already had a few panic attacks so he had one of those puke bags, using it as a breathing thing while Blueberry rubbed at his back. His brother laughs, saying as he patted his back. "My dearest brother! I can't believe you're making me an uncle, I'm so happy. I'm sure this is all going to go very smoothly!" Undyne nods from where she was sitting beside him, smiling nervously as she says. "I-It's um very... very un-unlikely for anything to go bad" Stretch looks at her out of the corner of his eyes and nods, still feeling his nerves shooting through him. They're both saying that things are going to go smoothly, but he can't help how he nevertheless feels afraid! Things might go wrong Then what is he supposed to do? Well, what could go wrong? He thought to himself but shuts his eyes tightly, breathing harder trying to stop his brain. He knew how dangerous this is, he studied it before, he can't believe he did this! Ahhhh... he tenses up a little when he heard the door open and close, hearing Asgore say hello to the doctor and he lifts his head looking over at the doctor who was holding a clipboard, a frown on their face. Oh no. He felt sick to his stomach already he smiles weakly though to try to appear like he wasn't worried. He's been making puns all day so he decides to do one more. "You know, I'm so glad we didn't use sonblock at the beach all those months ago" he heard his brother groan but Asgore chuckles, sadly... the doctor didn't. They clear their throat, frowning as they start to talk "This is... this isn't the time for jokes, sir. I'm not quite sure how to tell you this, but... your datemate has passed. There were complications and they couldn't hold on. I'm sorry" Stretch stares at the human with his mouth open just a little then shuts it again. That's... he turns his head down holding the bag tighter. He knew that something was wrong but he wished that he was wrong. Of course, he could hear the others saying stuff, but he couldn't bring himself to listen everything felt so wrong and he felt sick to his stomach... this was his fault.
Snackers- If he was to be honest, Snackers never thought that he'd ever get with a human! They were good, but he liked to eat them more than anything? Like... they tasted soooo good but then he got with his datemate, and they made him feel so good. So happy. So, he didn't mind not eating that one human! Well... all humans now. It was a little annoying, for him to have gotten used to eating humans, to just now be unable to. His brother would kill them then he'd cook them! It was so nice... at first, he didn't like the idea, it scared him, but after a while, his brother was able to talk him into trying it and he loved it! Now they were above ground though, so he was allowed to eat other things! He loved trying things, even if sometimes he would eat things that weren't really editable; like one time he bit onto the table while Y/n was trying to take him out of the building but he didn't wanna leave yet so he bit onto the table, and they had to tug him for a little while. It was so silly! Another thing he never thought he'd have were babybones, but guess what? They were at the hospital and Snackers was so nervous because his datemate was pregnant! All the people around him were making him feel nervous, there was so much smell of blood and he was feeling almost overwhelmed by it. He could feel his brother rubbing his back to try to keep him calm and he was chewing on a chewing ring! It was supposed to be for 'babies' but he didn't care. It made him feel good to chew on it and it made him feel like he was safe. It was a comfort thing, his brother said it was for sensory stuff or something? He turns his head to look at his brother, seeing him writing on a notebook, and lifts it so he could read it. 'you're going to break this one if you keep doing it that much bro.' Snackers looks down at his chewing toy, pulling it from his mouth, and laughs "You...you're right! Not... good" He chuckles nervously, rubbing at his neck his eye shines shooting around. "There's just... lot of people. Smelling..." Butcher hums and reaches over, pushing the toy back into his mouth making him blink, chewing on it again. This was all starting to overwhelm him if he's to be honest, the fact that his datemate was pregnant and a whole lot of blood thing... so when he saw the doctor coming out he smiles wide and hops up dropping the toy on the ground since he didn't care much and runs over "Hello!" He says quickly, making the doctor jump back a tad. Humans were still sorta scared of monsters oh well, he doesn't care. "My datemate, Y/n, went back to have my babybones! So... excited! Where?" he wanted to ask where they were, but he was too excited so he was pretty much vibrating. He saw his brother sitting there staring at the doctor who himself started to shake a little "I'm..." He starts, "very sorry to... be the one to tell you b-but-" they clear their throat to most likely calm themselves down while Snackers was just staring, smiling "Your datemate has passed on" he tilts his head to the side, then laughs "passed on what? Their... eyes to our babybones? Good!" The doctor seemed a little uncomfortable and slowly explained that no, he meant they're dead... when Snackers heard that he was so shocked he had to sit back on the ground. So that's what it's like to have someone that close to you killed? He wanted to attack this doctor so his eyes scanned up but before he could he felt Butcher catch him pulling him close to his chest while he kicked his legs and shouted, trying to get out of his brother's grip. He sounded a little like a wild animal.
Butcher- Butcher used to be named Spear, simply changed that after getting above ground. He hated the idea of himself being named after his weapon; and the thing that ended up taking his ability to talk. Alphys really did ruin that for him... but now that they were above ground, he got the help of the humans! They're trying to make him a fake bottom jaw that he would be able to use to talk better than he could now, and the crack in his skull. It wasn't that bad, just over one of his eyes which was where they tried to take away his magic. It made him have some issues with memory, not as bad as Axe from the other world, but his whole thing was the no jaw issue. Guess he can't complain though haha... ouch. Another thing that has been going on, was the fact that because they were now above the underground, he met someone. That, someone, was Y/n, and they were a human that he very much cherished. To be honest, he thought that they were one of the only reasons he was still alive and around anymore! His brother was sitting with him chewing on his little sensory item looking around. Butcher knew why, there was so much smell of blood, it might be a little too much for him to handle so he reaches up petting the top of his brothers head who looks up at him and smiles "Thank you! How are you feeling?" he shrugs his shoulders, reaching up scratching lightly at his skull letting out a slight sound. He couldn't speak but he could make random noises, and sure he could try to use one of those machines that the humans offered that would allow him to 'talk' but it's just him typing in the letters and the machine speaking for him. That isn't talking to him, it doesn't have emotion it doesn't show what he wants to say it just says what he wants to say without him and that's upsetting to him! He looks forward noticing that some humans were staring at him but when he looked over to wave, they quickly looked away making annoyance bubble up in his stomach. He wanted to snarl, growl at them that he wasn't something to just stare at! Yet, he didn't. While he was lost in thought he heard the door open and close, making him look over, and he sees the human that took his datemate back, making him smile the best that he could and he gets up walking over slowly. The doctor looks up and tenses up when they most likely saw him. Oops. "Um..." they clear their throat "Are you... Butcher?" He nods, so they keep talking "Well I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but due to unforeseen circumstances, your datemate has succumbed to injury caused by the birth of the children. We did everything that we could to save them" Butcher was confused, what happened? It took a little bit to fully click in his mind and when it did, his mind shut off. His datemate was dead because he wanted children? No, because these guys didn't... they just let... he reaches up covering his face with his hands trying to keep himself calm. He can't break, he can't just start killing again even if he thinks these people deserve it... his favorite human, poof! Gone.
Axe- When his datemate told him that they were pregnant, he honestly was shocked. He didn't know how to feel about it, but he was happy mostly? Sometimes he got worried, and he got very overprotective, holding onto them when he thought that there was any type of danger. It wasn't that he didn't think that they could take care of themselves, it was more he was worried about them getting hurt. Now they were at the hospital because it was the day! The day that they were going to become parents and Axe didn't know what to do. Because it was a hospital, he wasn't allowed to have his axe but his support dog was here! He was told that their breed was a... St. Bernard and he named her Pasta. His brother loved and hated the dog but he loved her. He was petting her trying to stay calm looking around trying not to breathe in too much, yet can't help it. The smell of blood around was starting to overwhelm him but he gets knocked out of those thoughts when he felt Pasta put her head on his knee, making him blink and he turns his head down to look at her seeing her, panting softly and he smiles a little more than before then lifts his head tapping his feet on the ground. So much was happening here, and he was so scared. He loved his datemate, they were one of the only things that were keeping him calm and still... around? Living was scary but he kept living to make his brother and his datemate happy, if they weren't around he would have dusted himself long ago. His brother was getting better and healthier, and he was about to have a babybones with his datemate that he loved. The thought made him start to purr shutting his eye, at least the one that he could. While he was sitting there, alone because his brother had to stay home, but he was still happy; the purring stopped when he heard footsteps making him open his eye looking at the doctor who stops when the red eye landed on him. They stare at each other in silence, Pasta looking between the two of them, until the doctor clears his throat "A-Are... you..." he stops, making Axe squint a little "Axe?" He slowly nods at the question. "Okay, alright. You came in with Y/n, right? I'm... ah." He clears his throat "The birth went smoothly a-at first but slowly it seems as though something went wrong." Axe's breath hitched as he heard that, shifting where he was sitting. Wrong? Wrong wrong wrong? What... wrong? His breath starts to go faster, reaching up hooking his fingers into his eye socket, his soul feeling strange in his chest. "What... Did you do?" He asks, slowly getting up growling in a harsh tone. The person takes a few steps backwards but he reaches forward, grabbing the doctors shirt "what did you do?!" The doctor yelps, and says that Y/n died during the birth but his babybones was healthy. He had no idea how to feel, what... was happening? He woke up in a holding room because he got violent with the doctor.
Red- When Red was told that he was going to be a dad by his datemate, he half thought about leaving. He already took care of Edge, he couldn't handle another child. What if they turned out as Edge did!? Yet, after a bit of thinking, he told his datemate that he was ready. Not like he couldn't be, you know? Everything was still worrying but he tried his best to not think about it too much. If anything, if he's to be honest, he was a little excited. This was just another try and his brother didn't really come out that bad, just mean which was expected from their world. That's why, right now, he was in the hospital waiting for his datemate to have his babybones. They were told that they're having twins! TWINS! Can you believe that? Why twins? That's more than he signed up for, and he only signed up for one! Honestly, not even one... he didn't want babies. So many thoughts were rushing through his mind and he was using one of those vomit bags as a breathing bag. It was supposed to help him not have a panic attack. His brother was here, as well as Toriel, and Tori was talking all excitedly about how they were going to have babies! Frisk was here too, but looked nervous, pressed close to Edge because of all the humans around them. Edge looks over at him, noticing the fact he was breathing like that, making him roll his eyes "You're going to make yourself pass out, if you keep doing it like that" He sounded annoyed but Red knew that he was most likely just worried. Exie(based on the word execution) looks over and giggles a little. "And that would suck!" Red rolls his eyes. Ugh... He regrets coming out with them. Luckily for them, the doctor finally comes out making him look up and he gets up, walking over smiling weakly. "Hey bud" he starts, sweat rolling down from his forehead. It happened like that when he was nervous, and he was. He hated hospitals! He got his pills though so that's good? They help with his panic, and the others with his problems with sleeping. "So, uh how's... How's the datemate and kids? Mine, I mean. Not that I don't care about yours, I just... I really don't care just tell me how mine are" he heard Edge groan but Frisk giggles. The doctor tilts their head, frowning then looks through their clipboard "ah..." Well, that caused Red's chest to tighten. "I'm sorry, but sadly, your datemate has passed" Red stares at the doctor, then looks over his shoulder at the other three, then up again. They're... Gone? His chest felt too tight, the others were judging him most likely so he shuts his eyes tightly, teleporting away. He killed his datemate.
Edge- Of course Edge was happy! He had a beautiful datemate, and that beautiful datemate was pregnant! He knew that his datemate was going to have an amazing and wonderful babybones. At first he was nervous to have children, he didn't know if he was ready. Now he didn't care! His datemate was pregnant and he was ready to take care of them both. Red told him a few things for when his babybones was born but Edge snapped at him, saying that he'd be able to deal with it himself. Red rolled his eyes but agreed. Yet... Now they were in the hospital, and he felt so much panic going through his body. His brother was with him, sitting beside him looking nervous. Sometimes he was about to fall asleep but woke back up, shaking his head to keep himself awake and he turns his head to look at his brother, letting out a little chuckle "You okay there, bro?" He asks. Edge turns his head quickly to look at Red who was looking up at him with his stupid eye glows, and the bags under his sockets. He looked so tired but... ugh! "I'm fine!" He snaps, then tilts his head back resting it against the wall tapping his boot on the ground feeling nervous. For so long, he thought he was ready for this but when his datemate's water broke, and they said that the baby was coming; he rushed them towards the hospital and then they went back. They were told that everything was going well from what the people could tell, but they didn't fully know because this was a hybrid, in a way? This was all so crazy, and too much for him to handle, but he had to handle it! Dammit. While he was sitting there, lost in thought, he heard his brother say, while judging his arm "Bro? Hey?" He shuts his eyes rubbing his temples and turns his head "What?! What do you want? I'm busy!" he shouts, knowing that some of the humans were looking at him, but he didn't care those people could look all they want. Red flinches away then points forward, making him look over to see a doctor standing there looking up at him, seeming nervous. Well damn... he squints at the doctor "how is my datemate?" He asks. The doctors eyes shoot away, biting the inside of their cheek most likely then they clear the inside of their throat "I'm... very sorry, but something's went wrong" they shift where they were standing. Edge squints and stands up looking down at the doctor "What did you do to them?" he got explained that the baby was able to live, but his datemate died making him frown. What the hell?
Yanberry- Finally! Yanberry was so happy to hear that his datemate was pregnant. He's been trying to do that for quite a bit of time now, you know? He wanted to get them pregnant, so they wouldn't be able to leave! Once they have children together, it'll be so much harder for his datemate to get away from him, if they ever wanted to. He has no idea why they'd want to though, he treated them so well! He loved them so much and would give them everything that they wanted to have. Plus, he saved them from their old boring life and now they live with him and his brother! He wouldn't just allow ANYONE to live with him like that. So, they should be happy to be with him. Now they were at the hospital! Yanberry didn't like the idea of his datemate being touched by some random person! But if that's needed, he'll do it for them. He was sitting in the waiting room telling everyone and every creature, just how excited he was! He couldn't believe that they were going to have a babybones, do you know how extraordinary it is for hybrids? Somehow, they had one. Well... two! Ahhh he's so excited! While he was sitting there, he heard the doctor come in, making him perk up looking over and he smiles when he saw the doctor so he hops up and heads over, putting his hands behind his back, smiling. "Greetings, human! I am very happy to see you! You see, I brought my wonderful datemate here. They're having my babybones and I'm wondering how long they'd need to be here?" He asks, trying to smile innocently. If he could take them home tonight, he'd be so happy! The doctor looked uncomfortable, though making him squint. "Well... Your ah... Datemate? Has succumbed to Maternal mortality. I'm sorry" Yanberry, of course, knew what that meant making his eyes widen just a little. What? Annoyance fills his body, then anger. He wanted to hurt this doctor but instead decided to do something else. He broke down, covering his eyes with his hands allowing tears to start to slip from behind his hands "Y-You killed... you killed my datemate!" he could feel eyes on him now, not that he cared. This was to get attention. The doctor tried to calm him down telling him that the babies lived! He was going to find out where this doctor lived and take them out himself. Nobody would know, but he was going to kill them violently... how dare this stupid human take away his datemate? Ugh. Maybe he can trick Chara into doing a reset! Who cares if they have to spend a bit more time in the underground? Yeah, he knew about it, shut up.
what would be the ROs reactions to the MC breaking up with them? can’t wait to see your IF’s progress!
OMg guys why?
It would depend really, if you have a good reason for wanting to break up (ex. It was quite clear that the relationship wasn’t working), then all the ROs would understand, they’d be very sad but none of them would try and stop you.
If you just broke it off with them for no discernible reason, and refused to give an explanation, then they’d be a lot more reluctant to just let you walk away.
Under the cut!
Luisa would be angry, but at herself more than you, she’ll be asking herself a lot of questions and wondering how she missed this? What exactly she missed?
If you refused to give Cody an explanation, they’d be angry at you, but it’s a defensive anger that comes from their pain and confusion, they just don’t understand why you’re doing this?
Noah would respect your decision the most to be honest, even if there didn’t seem to be a reason. They’d assume you’d gotten tired of them, or the life they lead. They aren’t surprised, but they sure are devastated.
Reese would be heartbroken, they have never felt this way about anyone before, and they thought everything was going really well. They spiral a bit, thinking about all the reasons you could have, and the common theme is something they might of done. Will go back to casual, fleeting relationships.
A would be a bit suspicious, they would wonder where this is coming from? Your relationship with A would be one of mutual trust and communication, for you to just out of the blue break up with them, would be quite out of character. However, if you persisted that you were done with the relationship, they’d accept it. They’d probably be the only RO who was still friendly to you after that.
K would be absolutely devastated. You’re the one person they trust above all else. They’ve told you things they’ve never told anyone, let you see them vulnerable in ways no one else has, and after this, no one ever would. K would be the one who would avoid you completely, even asking for a transfer to another handler.
Thank you (?) for the ask! And thank you, hope it doesn’t disappoint :)
"Right," he said, somehow summoning the ability to make a sound past the lump in his throat. "Yeah, I, uh... I get it. But, she'll wake up, right?"
Chakwas' eyes wouldn't lift from the datapad. He swallowed.
"Right...?" he repeated. "I mean... she's got to."
"Jeffrey, if you'd have a seat, please?"
"No," he snapped, her gentle tone making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He turned his back to her, staring out at the hospital floor. So many doctors rushing around. So many broken bodies on gurneys. Nobody had slept. "I'd... rather stand."
Chakwas' reflection touched a finger to her temple briefly. "Jeffrey, I really think-"
"I wanna go back there," he said. "If there's nothing anyone can do, then I wanna go back there, right now."
"I didn't say that. I said there's nothing more anyone can do right now. It's for her to pull through."
"Can I go through, or not?"
"I won't stop you, but I-"
"Good," he barked.
After a long pause, she said softly, "I can't wake her."
He cleared his throat. He knew he was being a dick.
These places made his skin crawl. Hospitals. Waiting rooms. If he could feel anything at all, it'd be nausea at the antiseptic smell of the place. Chakwas' footsteps led away, towards the room in the back. The expression on her face was... something. He couldn't read it. Didn't want to.
Inside this quiet, shady room, Shepard lay under a mass of wires and tubing. Her face just visible, bruised and battered, but whole, at least. Dappled light from the trees outside danced over her legs, which - his breath caught in his throat. One looked bizarrely wrong. Perversely short. It was missing. She was missing one.
"Oh," he said, blinking hard at the stinging behind his eyes. The doctor might've put her hand on his shoulder, but maybe she didn't - he didn't know. "Can, uh. Can, um?" He couldn't make any words happen.
"I don't know, but I think you should talk to her, all the same," said Chakwas. "It might do her well to hear your voice."
He stood at the foot of the bed. Everything turned into a coloured blur. The silence was what struck most. Around now is when he'd expect EDI's smooth voice to say something about his heart rate, or quote some kind of stupid zen riddle to comfort him, or ask him something weird about being able to think. But she wasn't here. She wouldn't ever be here, either. It was just him and this awful, yawning silence.
"H-hey," he said, trying to just say something, anything at all so it wasn't so goddamn quiet. "Hey, stupid," he sniffed. "You can't go, yet. We aren't done watching the rest of Fleet and Flotilla."
He imagined the way she'd roll her eyes and flash him a smile. He groped about with numb fingers for the chair nearby. "I won't watch any more without you. I don't wanna get ahead."
Her hand was so pale, so light, so cold. It hadn't felt like that when she'd run her fingers through the scruff on his cheeks, or made trails down his chest, or when she turned his head with just one finger to get his attention. He rubbed circles on her palm. She always had his attention.
"You don't get it," he croaked. "When it's over, I'm gonna tell you something, and you're gonna laugh and tell me I'm a dumbass 'cause you always knew." The world was nothing but blurry colours again. "You're supposed to tell me it's our game that we never said it."
He enclosed her hand in his. Maybe it would help to warm her up. The war was over. So many people were gone. All of his family. Most of his friends. EDI. But there were tomorrows, now, where there were none before. There was all the time they could ever want, now. All she had to do was open her eyes. Breathe, be warm, be alive. He wiped his eyes with his wrist. Nothing else about her was safe to touch, so he kissed the back of her hand and cradled it, trying so hard to help her be warm.
