THIS IS SENDING ME WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS FANDOM SO UNSERIOUS LMAO

[zaffiri-saffici]

Nicky was always meant to be stillborn. He was never supposed to live after birth, but Rio gave Agatha more time with him, and in turn he got more time with Agatha.

Whether it was implied or not, he was always the son of Death. He was always supposed to go home to his other mother. When Death finally beckoned him home that night, Rio wouldn’t allow him to join her until he kissed Agatha’s cheek. And he knew, instantaneously, to kiss Agatha not once, but twice.

Once from him, and once from Rio.

Though he was always meant to join Death at her side, Rio gave Agatha the chance to be his mother, too, and now I am a mess about it and will be thinking about this for a long time.

11/4 edit: Wow, y'all have completely overwhelmed me with your love for this little meta, so as thanks, I turned it into a bit of fic we can all cry together about.

Read "Once (Twice) from Nicky" on AO3.

11/19 edit: So I have Agathario brain rot now (ty Jac Schaeffer) and couldn’t help starting a longer form fic because this family just makes me a mess. So, in light of this, I am selfishly adding the link to this fic below so we can all be messes together.

Read “Five Stages (in Grief’s Embrace)” on AO3.

they were so doomed. rio bent the rules of the universe for her. she gave her six whole years, but that is so little. that’s not enough time at all. there would never be enough time and agatha hates her for it, forever. and in the end, rio still weeps for her

Rio: I’m bored

Agatha: Then go and do something

Rio: I want to do you

Agatha: Not yet Rio

Rio: Why don’t you want me?

Agatha: I just said I’m not ready yet, there’s still things to do

Rio: Like what?

Agatha: like finish this meeting with Nicky’s teacher!

Rio looking at the woman sat at the desk

Rio: She can watch I don’t mind

Agatha: You want another woman to see me naked?

Rio frowning: No! You’re mine and how dare you suggest something like that

Agatha rolling her eyes: Why don’t you go and get Nicky and check out the new garden they have

Rio: They got a new garden?! Hell yeah I’ll be right back! *quickly leaves*

Agatha: I apologise for her behaviour, she often forgets where we are and says whatever she’s thinking

Nicky’s teacher: I think we should just get back to talking about Nicky’s behaviour

Agatha: Of course of course, so what was the word he used to his teacher?

Nicky’s teacher: it began with a C and ended with a T

Agatha: Ah, that’s his mother’s favourite word, okay I’ll have a word with her

Nicky’s teacher: I’d appreciate that very much

Rio coming back into the room with Nicky: That garden is bitchn’!

Nicky: Yeah Mama it bitchn’!

Agatha mumbling: fuck me

Nicky’s teacher: I see these meetings are going to be more frequent

So we all agree that Rio's the baby daddy, right?

Because you don't just cast someone to look so much like the mothers's ex for no reason. He's like the perfect mix of them.

I have always known This Road is cruel and wild I bury my own heart Here with you, my child If one be gone, we carry on But every mile I go With every bend Beyond the end Your mother loves you so

Omg what if, hear me out, Rio wasn’t by their side during Nicky’s life like the show insinuated but instead every time Agatha killed a coven she appeared outside and kept Nicky company while Agatha drained them because Rio appears right before death is certain. And that’s why Nicky so willingly went with her when she came for him because she was an old friend at that point. Always there, holding him, and keeping him company as he listened to the dying cries of dozens of witches over his life time. Her presence was probably so soothing for a child surrounded by death because that’s all he had ever known. Death was an old friend to him, there since he was old enough to help his mama, and he wasn’t scared when she finally came for him because he had only ever known death’s kindness and compassion

Nicky with his mothers walking on either side of him. Jac really fed us domestic Agathario crumbs. I will never forgive Marvel for breaking up this family.

Baby Daddy Rio continues ✨

[medusas-daughter]

It's the way Nicky reacted to Rio. The way he wasn't scared or even surprised like he knew her. The way she only nodded and he immediately understood that she was telling him to say goodbye to his mom. Like she'd been visiting him regularly before taking him. Like she's been preparing him. Like she's been parenting him. Like she's been loving him in secret because if Agatha saw her sniffing around him she would have lashed out. But Rio couldn't stay away from Nicky. And he left the road in peace with Death's hand in his.
