Gloves still are on!
Just some post-canon sketch for Malevolent boys =)
In every fandom I'm always have only two options: saccharine sweet and HERE WILL BE XENOPHILIA!
Arthur Lester in the 12th century:
"He is a witch, m'lord!"
"Then burn him!"
"But he is pretty, m'lord.'
"....okay, have one more time with him, but after that - burn him!"
In the Half Life Parable, does N ever get routine exams just for his health, in the way that the average person gets a physical every few years? If so, does he bring Stanley with him for support? Stanley strikes me as the kind of person to break a man's knees if they try anything with N.
(P.s. I love this au so much! Your art is gorgeous <3)
When N lived in the Alliance, he definitely underwent regular medical examinations, and his first 5 years in Black Mesa mostly consisted of medical experiments on him. So when he occupied Mesa, N kept his communication with the medics to an absolute minimum. He used previous drug developments and stimulants for himself, but did not trust anyone. So after meeting Mr. Rider, it was Stanley who was at first responsible for N’s health. Only after some time did he persuade his boyfriend to go to normal doctors. Stanley, of course, is a xenobiologist, but not in that sense))
Stanley will absolutely accompany N to medical examinations, and he has a crowbar as a strong argument!
The life cycle of John the Worm.
I was catching little black tadpoles and this idea came to my mind. Not a single tadpole was injured!
Let's pretend that one day everything finally ended well.
Arthur and John single dads AU, anyone? Anyone??
Little brat in John's hands is Yellow. Bonus points if name of John's abusive ex is Kayne =]
P.S. I'm good at making AU's plot, but too lazy to really write it.
Arthur doesn't like it (he's lying!)
"Just look at the map and tell me, where the fuck we are!"
Story of Arthur and John in hands.
Arthur, darling, don't you think you have, uh, some anger issues?
This is Arthur. He's mine. You can't have him!
"Hey, handsome, are you alone here?"
Do you see the plants next to N? He and Stanley were the ones who stole from the nearest botanical garden! Someone's vacation is walking along the coast, and someone has excursions to arboretum and gardens. It was basically N who dragged the sprouts into his collection!
Okay, here I was told that my Arthur looks like Koroviev from the film adaptation of The Master and Margarita, so here we are - me and the meme!
