So idk how i would ever make this work but one of these days I’d love to have as a random subplot in my ongoing In Space With Markiplier series where Thomas finds Simon, rescues him from the blood ocean, brings him on board the Invincible

And that’s it

No great romantic scene or anything like that, Simon never becomes a major character. Sometimes he’s in the background for other scenes being traumatized and confused by the Invincible II and their found family bs

Mark has a moment to be like huh he kinda looks like me oh well, moves on

For some reason this idea is fucking hilarious to me

Mostly I’m amused at the idea of the reader being like oh come onnnn give him something

Meanwhile *Simon walks in on Thomas and Mark in a couples fight, he looks to his left, looks to his right, very quietly backs out of the room, and doesn’t come back for the rest of the story*

King's Ransom Chapter 1 - Heaven

The Captain visits a distant planet in an attempt to negotiate a badly needed alliance for the Invincible II. Unfortunately he isn't terribly well-versed in the art of diplomacy, and to make matters worse, there's an exalted warrior prince constantly making eyes at him.

In the meantime, Mark stays behind to lead the Invincible II, and discovers his and the captain's young charge is hiding a terrible secret.

Fun fact I had two different versions of chapter 8, because I had two different endings in mind, and when I posted this last chapter, I was afraid I posted the wrong one and I had to go back and check

The survivors of the massacre on the Invincible II struggle to put their lives back together, while Mark and the Captain work to learn what 'normal' looks like for each other now.
