They’re both underweight and siblings by choice and I love that for them
i've only mentioned this AU once ( i think ), but whenever i recall 'The Two Suns' and various scenarios i've either always had in mind or made up recently, it makes me really happy.
one of my thoughts is Kyle helping heal the Crimson Waste. i don't think it'd be easy, i don't think anyone would even acknowledge him at first, but Kyle watches the people struggle and suffer and kill just to survive another day ( food, water, etc. ). where they have nowhere else to go, as no one will accept them.
for him, the Horde was like that. though he had Adora and Rogelio, he was deeply afraid of being left behind. and he was. he didn't resent Adora for that. in fact, he blamed himself. because he couldn't see any other reason for her leaving, at the time.
so, he sympathizes with the Crimson Waste ( or the Crimsons, as i like to call them ) and, through his own struggle, begins to help the people heal. not everyone believes in it, not everyone deserves it, but Kyle knows he can't please everyone. he had always known that.
though Kyle x Rogelio is a thing in this AU ( with some changes, which are not only about the bullying thing ), i never wanted Kyle to be 100% reliant on Rogelio when i made it. it was much more likely for him to be reliant on Adora, actually. but i still wanted to make the relationship between the two matter. i'll get into that another time, though, if anybody's interested.
regardless, Rogelio does acknowledge that both of them are happier here. that Kyle is smiling and laughing, without awkwardness, embarrassment, or shame. that neither of them hate the work they're doing, even though it's hard.
they stay.
because why wouldn't they?
when Kyle and Adora see each other again, it's in s4 ( he is, unfortunately, unaware of the Horde's plans ), and they're both considerably better than before, but still, well... broken.
there's a moment where they're alone, where it's quiet and the responsibilities around them disappear, if only for a little.
leaders need rest, too.
Teensy feelsy headcanon regarding Ikkaku and Law because my heart has yearned for them all day:
When they’re alone, out of earshot from the rest of the crew, and in a good mood (especially on Law’s part, Ikkaku usually is anyway), they can act and talk like those extremely loving and affectionate siblings that everyone wishes they had/their already-existing siblings were. She’s the only one on the ship that is allowed (although not without a glare) to call him a nerd, even though they all likely know he is lmao. He has himself, on a few rare occasions, even gone as far as calling her sweetheart (the only time ever he used it for a girl completely platonically). Probably when she was feeling really down and he was consoling her in the machinery room.
Maybe sounds OOC, but with @anubislover ‘s HC that Ikkaku’s actual brothers were shitheads, and with Law’s actual sister dead, I strongly feel they both need that kind of relationship. <3

Hey brother, there's an endless road to rediscover. Hey sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker. Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do. - Avicii ; Hey Brother
Apollo: Telling someone "you're shit" and "you ain't shit" are both insults.
Apollo: But telling "you're not shit" is a reassurance.
Artemis: And "you're not the shit" is an insult, while "you're the shit" is a compliment.
Apollo: Hmm-mm.
Leto: It's 3am kids, go to bed.
Artemis, about Orion: This one's different. He's honest, and sweet, and he wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
Apollo: HE'S A GUY!!
Artemis: Are you going to help, or are you too pretty?
Apollo: I'm too pretty.
Apollo: So when do you think we'll see a big, hairy boy?
Artemis:
Artemis: Please just call them bears.
