"It's Okay"

Group comfort for da alchemist boi

There wasn't really any context to this when I drew it, but afterward I thought maybe they found out about Varian's criminal past, and he was scared they'd hate him? Idk, honestly, it's up for interpretation XD

[madneurologist]

idk how to title this

I think Hugo has this mindset that he can only be loved if he's useful, so what if when he has feelings for Varian, he's desperate to do everything right and help Varian in whatever way he can to get his approval? That would be heartbreaking, and even more so for the blonde because varian would probably be upset with Hugo because he would think he is underestimating him while Hugo is simply just trying to get his love in the only way he knows

Lonely Without You By My Side

A fic based on this art by @lunarcrown and requested by @justa-0-fangirl

Hugo raised his head ever so slightly, the pounding ache in his head making it hard to think and hard to even remember what was going on. The one thing he knew was that Varian wasn’t there.

Sitting up allowed him to see, (however blurry it was with his severe lack of glasses), that Varian was laying in a hospital bed not too far away from him. The sight did nothing to remind him of their predicament, it only served to fuel his panic at Varian’s state and increase his yearning to be by his partner’s side.

Hugo stumbled off his own mattress and stood, immediately feeling his consciousness begin to fade. He dragged the soft but unsecured mattress from its perch on the iron frame to the ground and dragged it to Varian’s bedside. 

His knees buckled and he fell onto the bed that was now laying on the floor. His breaths became short and shallow, his chest feeling tight all of a sudden. He paid no mind to his injuries and shakily grasped Varian’s hand which had slipped down from the bed. 

Hugo huffed for breath, unable to get alot of air into his lungs but he could’ve cared less. The mere feeling of having Varian’s hand in his own was enough to quell his panic. He closed his eyes and took in short breath after short breath. It wasn’t getting any easier to breathe but he just didn’t care. Varian was beside him again and that was enough.

He idly ran his thumb over Varian’s bandaged hand and kissed it gently. Still holding no memory of the events that had transpired for them to be in their current positions, Hugo fell asleep again, holding tight to the only thing he knew as his mind strayed far from reality. Varian was all he knew in this moment. Varian was enough.

How about some Varigo angst?

Big oof :)

[honeyxmonkey]

MWUHAHAHAHAHA!!!! time for angst

The sword pressed closer to Hugo's neck and Andrew curled his fingers tightly into his hair, drawing a pained hiss from Hugo.

"Before I kill you," the saporian grinned wickedly at Varian. "I'm going to make you watch me very slowly, kill your little boy toy here, Varian."

Varian's eyes darted desperately from Hugo to Andrew.

"Please. Please don't hurt him." Varian begged. "He-he has nothing to do with this."

"Oh, I know that. I just want to make you suffer for betraying Saporia." Andrew pressed the sword even closer, drawing a thin line of blood. "Traitors to Saporia pay with their lives. And now, for you, with your heart."

Varian surged forward but was quickly stopped by the chains holding him down. "No! Andrew leave him alone!"

Andrew clicked his tongue, shaking his head a little. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. We wouldn't want to make this more painful for him, now would we?"

He leaned down closer to whisper in Hugo's ear. "Now, what would be the most efficient way to dispose of you in the way that will hurt Varian the most?"

"Screw you." Hugo spat.

Andrew sighed, backing away only to jam his sword into Hugo's shoulder from behind.

Hugo screamed in pain, leaning away from Andrew as much as he could with his hands chained behind his back.

Varian pulled on his own chains, desperately trying to reach his boyfriend. "No! No, stop! Andrew stop! Please!"

"Oh, Varian. When will you learn that this is your fate? Once a traitor, always a traitor. You and this boy, are going to die today. And let me tell you, it won't be pleasant."

Andrew walked in front of Hugo, lifting his chin up with the tip of his sword.

"I think a few deep cuts should be enough for you to bleed out, right?" He looked at his accomplices. "What do you think, Kai?"

Kai surprisingly looked rather worried. "I dunno, Andrew. I think we should kill them quickly. Their friends are bound to be looking for them."

"Oh don't worry about them. They would never think to look here." Andrew grinned evilly and turned back to Hugo. "So, anything you want to say before you die?"

Hugo glared at him. "If I could flip you off I would."

Andrew's eyes narrowed. "I don't think you should've said that."

And with those words, the saporian drove his sword into Hugo's abdomen, earning him a gasp of pain from the blond and a scream of horror from Varian.

"No!" Tears streamed down Varian's face as he watched Hugo collapse. He turned to Andrew, pure, maddened fury in his eyes. "I'll kill you, you son of a-"

Andrew suddenly grabbed Varian's face, yanking the boy towards him. "This is what happens to traitors. They lose the ones they love," he nodded his head towards Hugo who's breathing was already shallow and heavy. "And they lose their lives."

Varian furiously yanked on his chains, his glare hardening.

"You should've died all those years ago, Varian. Because you delayed this, you dragged somebody else down with you."

He pulled away to run his sword through Varian's heart when they heard alot of shouting.

Andrew growled in irritation. He looked back at Varian. "Until next time, I guess."

With that, he and the other saporians disappeared, leaving Varian alone with no way to get to Hugo who was very quickly losing the fight.

Varian once again felt tears come to his eyes. He didn't know how long it would be until they found them and by the time they did it would be too late.

"Goggles?" Hugo's weak voice called out to him.

Varian looked at him and almost cried more. The idiot had the nerve to smile.

"It's gonna be okay, Hugo. We're going to get out of here, alive."

Hugo searched his eyes before speaking again. "I love you, Varian."

Varian could tell it had been hard for him to say anything at all with how heavily he was breathing.

"Hey, don't... don't do that. We're going to get out of this."

Hugo nodded, slumping against the floor. It was an awkward position with the way his hands were behind his back. It did the wonderfully awful thing of letting Varian see just how much blood he was losing.

Finally, finally, finally, their friends burst through the doors. Eugene was the first one in and he immediately went to Varian to unchain him from the wall. Rapunzel was the next one in and she went to Hugo.

Anxiety spiked through Varian as he wondered if they were too late. He couldn't read Rapunzel's face but as soon as Eugene had him freed Varian rushed to Hugo's side.

When he reached him, Varian almost screamed. He was cold, and pale and he wasn't breathing.

"No! No, no, no, no!" Varian held him close, sobs racking his body as he screamed and cried. "Please! Please, no. I can't lose you. Not like this."

Rapunzel and Eugene were at a loss on what to say as they watched Varian have a complete mental breakdown.

"Please..." Varian's sobs slowly stifled into hiccups as he leaned his forehead against Hugo's. "I love you."

Eugene put a hand on Varian's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him but the contact only made him cry harder.

"I'm so sorry, Varian." Rapunzel was close to tears herself. It broke her heart to see her brother like this.

Varian finally began to release his hold on Hugo's body. He looked at Rapunzel and Eugene, bloodshot eyes and tear stained cheeks.

Rapunzel reached forward and hugged him. Varian returned it with one arm, keeping one hand on Hugo's cheek where his head sat on Varian's lap.

"I'm so, so sorry Varian." Rapunzel squeezed him tightly. "This shouldn't have happened. We should've gotten here faster."

Varian's only response was more tears and Rapunzel didn't mind. She hadn't known Hugo very well but she knew that he had meant the world to Varian.

Eugene looked anxiously at the door. Andrew might come back at any moment. He hadn't known it was just Eugene and Rapunzel who'd come for them. He was bound to have figured it out by now.

"Varian, we need to go."

Rapunzel had released him by now and Varian had gone back to holding his boyfriend's body.

"No!" Varian's voice was shaky and he sounded like he was on the verge of tears again. "We can't leave him here!"

Eugene sighed, his heart aching for his brother. "We don't have time. Andrew could come back at any moment."

Varian looked back at Hugo, tears coming to his eyes once more. "We can't- we can't leave him."

The sound of shouting coming from the other doorway was what prompted Eugene to do something he would never have done under normal circumstances. He grabbed Varian by the arm and pulled him up. He started to basically drag him out of the room as the boy fought him, screaming and thrashing in his grip.

"No! No, Eugene! Please, we can't!" Varian sobbed and yelled, his voice becoming ragged with the way he was screaming for Eugene to put him down. To go back for him.

As soon as they got outside Eugene pushed him onto Max and they rode as fast as they could, Rapunzel not far behind on her own horse.

All the while Varian didn't stop crying. His sobs had become silent tears and when they got back to Corona, he still hadn't said a word.

They dismounted and everyone came streaming out of the castle to see if Varian was alright.

Quirin worriedly looked over his son. "Are you okay?"

Varian didn't answer, staring emptily at the ground. His heart had been shattered into a million pieces and he didn't know if he would ever be able to pick them up again.

"Varian?" Quirin turned his son's face towards him. "Varian, talk to me. What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

He shook his head.

"Then talk to me. Varian, please."

The alchemist started to cry again and Quirin did the only thing he could think of, he pulled Varian into a tight embrace.

He looked helplessly at Rapunzel who looked rather worn.

The princess shook her head, looking sadly at Varian.

It slowly dawned on Quirin that someone was missing. Someone who Varian cared alot about.

"Where's Hugo?"

The question made Varian cry even more and Quirin knew exactly what Varian was feeling. It was pure and utter heartbreak.

"Varian, I'm so sorry." Quirin hugged his son tighter.

After Varian had finished crying he let go of his dad. Quirin felt his own heart break at the look in Varian's eyes. He was completely shattered.

Varian looked down at the ground, only able to think about how he had left Hugo alone, not even knowing what Andrew would do to his body.

Varian felt something awful crawl into the pits of his stomach. Something he hadn't felt in years. An unquenchable thirst for revenge. He wanted to make Andrew pay for what he'd done.

"He's going to pay for this." The words left Varian's mouth so quietly no one else had heard him. "I'm going to make him pay."

Act of Mercy

Or, Honey combines three of her favorite things, TTS, Varigo, and a zombie apocalypse

-----

Varian stared at the bite wound, already black and bruised and gross, crawling with infection. Hugo's breathing was getting increasingly heavy and ragged. Black veins spread from the wound and up his arm to his neck.

He was too late. Why was always too late?

"I'm sorry," Varian choked out, kneeling down to unchain him from the wall. "Oh god, I'm so sorry."

"What are you doing?" Hugo rasped, sweat dripping from his forehead as he tried to fight off the virus growing inside of him. "It's too late, Goggles. You need to go."

"No, no, please we can figure this out- we can-"

"Varian."

Varian knew he was grasping at straws. Hugo knew it too.

"You need to go-" a small, strangled cry tore from his throat as his body became weaker against the virus that was tearing him apart. "Please. Please just go. I don't want to hurt you."

"I can't just leave you. Not while you're suffering."

Hugo was gasping for breath now, though it was shallow and weak. The veins were spreading quicker up his neck. The virus was unstoppable.

He looked up at him weakly, green eyes were dull and full of tears. He suddenly pulled Varian into a kiss, lips quivering against his. Varian almost cried, then he felt the gun being pulled from his belt and pressed into his hands. Hugo broke away from the kiss, eyes beginning to take on the milky white cataracts of the other infected.

“What are you do-”

Hugo guided Varian’s hands up so the gun was pressed to his temple. “I don’t want to hurt you... and... and I don’t want to become one of them.”

Varian’s eyes widened as he realized what Hugo was asking him to do. “Hugo no- I... I can’t-”

“Please, Varian. Please.” He was crying now, hands shaking dangerously as he reached up to cup Varian’s face. “I need you to do this. Don’t let me turn.”

Tears streamed down Varian’s face as he watched Hugo slowly lose the last bit of control he had on his mind.

“Please.”

Varian took in a shaky breath, finger trembling over the trigger. “I love you.”

And then he smiled.

“I love you too.”

Varian looked away, clenching his eyes shut as he pulled the trigger. 

The gun went off with a bang.

I kinda want to write a fic where Hugo straight up dies. No fakeout deaths, no coming back to life through magic, he just dies. I want to write a Moon Hugo and Sun Varian au where Hugo dies at the end because the moonstones power was too much for him to handle. I want to write Hugo making all the wrong decisions, thinking he's protecting Varian, only to realize that he was hurting him along the way. I want them to argue about whether or not its worth it to have taken on these powers. I want them to be conflicted about their relationship because they love the other boy so much but he's truly become their complete opposite and being together is too dangerous. And most importantly, I want Varian to break. I want to write him slowly going insane over the distance they've had to create. I want to write him watching the love of his life slowly withering into nothing because the moons power is consuming him. And I want Varian to be powerless to stop it
