🐍 Kree makeup Loki • I wrote down ‘The Lighthouse/AoS AU’ for 2023 fanarts and got a bit carried away with the warmup. I imagine Loki as a Jötunn diplomat resident in The Lighthouse.
About The Lighthouse
Key element is that the Kree chose unscarred humans to serve them, whereas Loki is fascinated with a resident who has a scar where his eye would be.
There’s also a plot where Inhuman teenager slaves are growing up there until their skills are getting tested, the winner will be bought by Kree royalty to serve them as bodyguards - if I remember correctly, I need to watch it again.
Price had decided to throw in the towel and retire. He trusted Kate and Soap to take over.
Now, John would admit, he and Phil were probably overprotective of Kyle, but, how they found him was… horrible.
And he remembered it every time he looked at him.
—
Price woke up, hearing Phil over in the kitchen to make them breakfast, and he smiled, getting up to see him.
He had just finished up, and he smiled, "Morning, John."
"Morning, my dear." He plated his food, and they sat down, but Phil saw something outside
"Get it after breakfast." John said, "it's probably just the post."
Phil nodded, sitting down and eating while they spoke about their plans for the day. John had taken him off the crew for now, since he was injured, but he was getting better and likely would be able to go back.
John went outside to check the porch, and-
He froze when he heard a little whimper, and he looked down.
To see a little basket, with a little baby inside, and a note.
"I'm sorry. Please take care of him. I can't anymore. His name is Kyle. He's a magic user."
And he immediately felt attached to him.
He picked the child up, and looked into his eyes.
He felt a small cold patch on his shirt, and saw that he had turned it to ice.
He sighed, yelling for Phil, who looked shocked.
"Oh my God!" He yelled, going up to him.
"Phil, please, watch him, I'm going to the village to get supplies." John said, and Phil nodded
"I'll be back."
Phil sat on the couch, calming down and putting the child to sleep.
"You'll be alright... your safe now, little one." He whispered, wrapping him in a blanket, “You might be a little warm. But, I’ll make you a blanket, just for you, Okay?”
He knew he had too. This child was now theirs. He would never go back to the crew. He knew what he had to do.
John finally came back with baby formula and clothes, and gently took him from Phil, giving him a break from holding him to feed him.
“The note said he was only five months old.” John said as he started feeding him, “His name is Kyle. A magic user.”
“Where are the Sigils?”
He briefly checked, unwrapping the blanket, seeing two small Sigils. Ice and Teleknises.
“I’m disbanding the crew for a while.” John said, “he needs to be taken care of.”
“John, I have it-”
“It’s not fair to you. We are going to raise him together.”
So they did.
Kyle was eighteen now. He was still young, but he had grown up. He was their baby boy. He always would be.
“Morning, little one.” John said as he got to the kitchen, seeing Kyle at the counter, turning a small glass of water to ice.
“Hey, dad.”
“You hungry?”
Kyle nodded softly, and John smiled, “What would you like?” he asked, moving in front of him.
“Pancakes?” Kyle said, looking up from the glass.
John nodded, “Of course.” He looked down, “I don’t understand why you do this. It just drains your energy.”
Kyle shrugged, pushing his braided hair behind his shoulder, “its calming and entertaining.”
“Its draining.”
“Not on such a small thing. If I were to freeze the sea, it would be.”
John chuckled softly, “Oh, Kyle, what am I gonna do with you, mate?”
“Probably be a little confused because I’m not big on sailing and fishing.”
“Nope, we all love your paintings and how creative you are. Such a smart boy, you are.”
He smiled slightly, pulling his hand away from the glass.
“Your a precious little thing.” John said, giving him a plate of pancakes, gently cradling his face.
“I agree.” Phil said as he walked in, kissing Kyle’s forehead, “perfect little boy.”
Kyle smiled a little, “You remind me every day.” He said as he started eating.
“Becuase its true.” John said, smiling down at him.
Kyle smiled, “Thank you.” He whispered.
Once he finished eating, he went back to his room to get his drawing stuff and head out to sketch the ocean.
“Be back for lunch!” John called out before Kyle left.
“I will be!” He ran out the door, out to his favorite spot to draw.
“John?”
“Hm?”
“Do you… think he’s alright? With just us, soap, Kate and Ava? He only goes to the village to draw… don’t you think he’s lonely?”
He paused, sighing. “I’m… not sure. I feel like he would bring it up to us. Or it would be clear that he was… upset.”
“I just… I don’t know, he’s eighteen now. I feel like he just… needs people around him.”
John nodded, “well… we can ask if he feels lonely. And if he does, then… we can try to get him out more.”
Phil nodded, sitting at the counter, “How’s the crew doing?”
He smiled, sitting with him, “It’s good. I’m going to finally retire, leave Kate and Soap in charge.”
Phil lit up, “Really?”
“It’s time. And I want to be around you and Kyle more.”
Phil smiled, leaning on him, “I’m glad. I’d love to have you around more.”
Eventually, John started to make lunch, and Phil went out to collect their son.
"Kyle! Where are you?" he called out, walking through the field.
"Coming!" He heard from down the hill, where the dock to the ocean was.
He smirked, but then got a little confused. Why was he down there?
Then he saw the tree that Kyle normally sat on, a branch had snapped.
He panicked, running a hand through his hair before looking to the hill, about to head down when he saw Kyle coming up.
"Kyle! There you are!" He yelled, running up to him, "the tree- did you fall? You're soaked- are you hurt?"
He shook his head, "I fell... I'm okay..."
"Come, let's get you home, changed and warm." He said, gently pulling Kyle along, "Did you hit your head?"
"I'm okay, pops, really."
He sighed, kissing Kyle's forehead, "Okay. Dad's still going to check you out, though, okay?"
"I'm not a child... I'm 18."
"You'll always be our little baby boy." he smiled, “Come on, let’s get home.”
He noticed how Kyle kept looking out to the ocean, but he was just focused on getting him home.
“John!”
He looked over, and panicked, running up to him.
“What happened, son?”
“The tree snapped… I fell.”
“Go get changed, I’ll get a fire going.”
He nodded, going off to his room. He was walking good, he didn’t look hurt, but they were still worried.
Kyle came back out, sitting on the couch in front of the fire, eating the food that John made.
“Are you okay, little one?” John asked.
“I’m fine. Shaken, is all.”
He wasn’t bleeding, at least.
“And your magic?”
He looked at the side table, making a small glass of water float, bringing it towards himself to freeze it, which he did.
“Okay… that’s good.” He gently kissed Kyle’s temple, taking his braid out, “eat and rest, okay?”
Kyle nodded, looking down at his half empty plate, eating what he had left before putting it off to the side and laying down on the couch.
Phil sighed, laying a blanket over him, “There’s a storm on the way.” He said to John.
He nodded, “Let’s get to the village. We need to get supplies.”
They had to prepare for that storm. And they needed to do it quick. Warn the village. Make sure Kyle was safe.
They had a little time.

a Princess Mechanic, The Lighthouse Inspired AU written for @t100fic-for-blm | Rated: M | Complete, WC: 13k
Raven Reyes has been taking care of the lighthouse just off the coast of Arkadia for years now; she doesn’t need anyone’s help. But that doesn’t stop Clarke Griffin from showing up on her doorstep one night. With her, she brings storms and confusion. A helping hand and a distraction. And Raven learns that maybe not everything, including feelings, can be always be explained.
also!! how did logan start as a lighthouse keeper, and why?
Logan has been the sole lighthouse keeper ever since he was eleven and his uncle, the previous lighthouse keeper, died during a storm. Obviously, if the village knew that a literal child was caring for the lighthouse they'd find a new keeper, but the island is isolated enough so that they don't find out until Logan goes unto town for the first time years later to get his boots replaced. At that point he was 15 and refused to be replaced so the village leaves him to it. At this point in the story, he is in his early 30s and has been taking care of the lighthouse for over 20 years.
In the dark, dark wood there was a dark, dark house, and in that dark, dark house, two Turn fans have been working on something special…
Watch two years of world-building be revealed this Halloween season with a serial fanfic sure to give you shivers!
