The fact that Santino literally saved Tom from the streets when they first met... and in his last moments, was rushing headlong to save his sister...

teenage sonny hcs?

hated school and couldn't pay attention for shit, quit as soon as he was old enough

fredo and michael got bullied and sonny used it as an excuse to go beat people up

got drunk with tom and kissed him one time when they were fourteen. it was never spoken of again.

used to climb into clemenza's car drunk to follow him on missions. clemenza was understandably annoyed and worried that vito would fuck him up but as long as it wasn’t too dangerous he’d let sonny come along

had a brief phase where he tried to go by santino instead of sonny. none of his family listened to him so he just gave up

he would frequently bring stray dogs and cats home and try to convince his parents to adopt them. his main argument was that it worked when he brought home tom

Who tops and who bottoms? (Sonny and Tom)

Tale as old as time, the top/bottom argument. Now I'm personally camp Sonny top Tom bottom BUT Tom power bottom for sure.

The Lucy Mancini chapter is um…Questionable in many ways but I do appreciate how she immediately assume that Tom Hagen would understand her love for Sonny because they themselves were so close...

(It is a little bit hilarious since her relationship with Sonny was canonically purely physical so she's basically like "You can understand me because Sonny was your best friend who saved your life as a child and he dicked me down so good" which are…Kinda very different relationships but eh, I still appreciated it and it's not like this chapter makes that much sense in general)

It’s more than just an oath

I've been watching Godfather I over and over the past week, and Godfather II, in the background as I cook and eat, and what I noticed is that ever SINCE the moment Sonny died, it was like something was permanently broken in Tom that left him in a fragile state. Tom cried when he was told Vito died, then he recovered, and argued with Sonny a lot, robustly, he didn't do that afterwards with Michael, he was no longer sure he belonged there after Sonny died.

Oh totally!!!!! Romantic or otherwise, Tom and Sonny had such a strong connection. Sonny was the one who saved Tom’s life and brought him home after all. He was so changed after Sonny died and I think Michael could tell
