He had been gone for some time - only a few weeks at this point, but even just a few weeks was too long. Xadai was quiet as he entered his bedroom and took note of a certain Miqo'te laying sprawled out on his bed.

Xadai knew he would be gone for a while. Setting these kinds of things up took a lot of planning and many frustrating visits to the chirurgeons. Even so, his arm was finally healing up, and he was now the proud pet project of a prosthetic in the making. He was sure Maru would have wanted to come with him, given all that has happened, but the Warrior of Light had other, more important duties to attend. So, Xadai gave him the key to his apartment and that was comfort enough he supposed.

Quietly, Xadai set his bag down in the corner of the room, and then wandered over to the side of the bed. His remaining hand came down, brushing fingers through the fluffy white hair on his lover's head.

"Maru.. I'm home."

@kolak-magiya

Despite the fact that he had an evening job, nights off weren't entirely unusual and even though he enjoyed the nights that he worked, sometimes it was nice to have the night off.

While the temptation had been to stay at home and relax for a change, the greater temptation had been to get up and out of the flat for a time and to that end, he'd gone out.

Drinks, a dance, maybe a simple hook-up before the night was over... All those were on the cards and once he'd parked up his bike and stowed his helmet, shaking out his hair and ears, he was ready to join the queue to get into the club.

The only warning she gets is a thump of his bag hitting the floor as Ryce arrives home from a long day of work. He’s striding over to her immediately, a certain look in his eye as he scoops her up and presses her back against the nearest wall with a playful growl.

“Been thinkin’ ‘bout ye all day..” He purrs, tilting his head to rub his single horn against hers. “Xadai and Julian’re babysitting th’ girls right..? Meanin’ we got th’ whole night t’ ourselves~?”

Solana had perked up the second she heard the bag hit the floor, dropping whatever it was she’d been doing in favor of turning to greet him with a cheerful and adoring grin on her face. There was never a time she wasn’t absolutely thrilled for him to get home, to spend the rest of the night with the love of her life was an absolute blessing each and every time~

She’d spent most of the eve thinking on how they might spend their alone time tonight as well, in all honesty- both innocent, domestic things and more.. intimate ideas in equal parts.

Catching the look in his eye, her own eyes sparkle with interest and amusement- giggling as he scoops her up. Her arms instantly wrap around his neck, and her legs around his waist- one of her hands lightly toying with locks of his hair. She bites her lip as her back presses against the wall, damn near purring with desire.. being pressed against walls and furniture never failed to get her going~ “oh, y’ have, have y’~?” She purrs, smile growing as she leans into his affections. “Aye, th’ little hatchlings’ll be pesterin’ their uncles t’night- house is our for th night~ care t’ share whats on y’ mind, love~?”

Her hands caress the back of his neck, his shoulders and upper back as she bats her lashes at him flirtatiously- entirely curious what exactly he had in mind..

The fabric moved easily as Xadai pushed the sleeves of his shirt up to his elbows. It was done pretty quickly before the Au'Ra moved to pick up the crate that was too heavy for Maru to lift himself.

In silence it was moved, and Xadai showed little struggle in doing so before it was set down with a dull thud. He stood tall, stretching his arms up over his head before relaxing and turning to the miqo'te.

"Was that the last one? Or do you want me to go lift heavy objects so you can drool at me some more?"

Had he thought that? No, not really. He knew Xadai too well for that. Had he hoped for it? Absolutely not. He'd been a little minx for far too long already and he deserved everything he was about to get.

His mewl turned into a whine as the Au Ra's hand pressed against the tent in his smallclothes and Maru pressed his hips forward encouragingly, immeasurably turned on by the simple touch through his undergarments.

"You lasted longer than I thought you would," he admitted with an impish little grin, honestly surprised that Xadai had let him tease for as long as he had.

"Gotta admit, you're fucking sexy when you're all worked up like this..."

Julian huffs out a little laugh, raising a brow in amusement. He and Xadai had never been the sort of couple that really put into proper words the interest they held for each other- not often, at least- preferring to act on it instead, especially back in the day when their relationship consisted entirely of sporadically pulling the other aside for a rather aggressive and sexually charged moment alone.

That said, he was more comfortable trying to put it to words now then he had been before- even if at times he still found himself too flustered or aggravated to say it to his lovers face.. “hah. I’ve always found him too attractive for my own good-” He starts, lips pulled up into a crooked smile and eyes rolling playfully. “-and, of course, that hasn’t really changed.. though it’s clearly far beyond just that nowadays. Xadai might test my patience and rile me up like no other can half the time, but i do wholeheartedly adore the bastard nonetheless.. Its a miracle we’ve ended up where we are, all things considered, but i’m glad we have~”

how would you rewrite gl rebirth

I haven't actually thought about how I would rewrite GL:Rebirth much because the whole storyline just makes me uncomfortable and grumpy. I have thought about how I would rewrite the last arc of Kyle's run after Black Circle: Urban Knights (Green Lantern 1990 #165-181), but I'll try my best to answer this. I typed out an ENTIRE essay but accidentally deleted it, so I'm crying right now but I'll try to recall all that I wrote sldfgjshdfg

It depends on what you mean by rewrite it as well, it could be changing some aspects of the story but keeping most of the plotlines (minor changes) or keeping to the idea of trying to resurrect Hal Jordan and start up the corps but with a completely different storyline (major changes). Unlike Geoff Johns, I don’t think Hal needs another redemption arc when he already has multiple others and it’s more about what he continue to do for me, so it would more be about the resurrection of Hal as opposed to the redemption of Hal. I'll split my answers into two parts under the cut (because spoilers) - Keeping the Main Plot and Revamping.

Keeping the Main Plot

Changes to the plot

This idea is something I talked about with @fantajoseph where instead of having Parallax be there from the beginning (some parts of the story even seem to imply that Parallax had been there since Hard Traveling Heroes maybe which is ????), Parallax was only unleashed and took over when he absorbs the power battery. This doesn't absolve him of everything (which is boring), keeping some of his actions including killing Kilowog, but doesn't have him literally going for world destruction. It also could fit with the changing of motives from initially being bring back Coast City to literally going back to the Big Bang and starting the universe over with him in-charge and deciding how things go. It also puts the release of Parallax squarely on his shoulder for attempting the power grab (even if he did it unknowingly), instead of having it be a "it was always going to happen" thing where he is portrayed as "sad boy poor victim uwu" or whatever which takes away so much of his agency.

I’ll straight up remove John trying to reintegrate Spectre!Hal back to regular human society. I don’t understand what was up with that and I really dislike it. I enjoy Spectre as a mystical spiritual entity that can’t quite interact on the same plane back with regular humans and all that. The vibe of the longing and tragedy of how he is there but not quite there. With all this time between, they should’ve come to terms with this situation and not do whatever is going on, because it doesn’t make sense. Hypothetically, if this rebirth stuff didn’t happen, he would just be doing his Spectre stuff, atone for what he feels like he’s done wrong, find peace, and then go to Heaven. Hal is dead then, the whole baseball scene just takes away from that.

I would change Parallax’s control of people to be much more like Alexander Nero with the uncontrolled, wild, unpredictable, messy elements due to fear as opposed to the very controlled attack the Justice League stuff that was going on. I think fear should be more messy and dangerous, not whatever was going on. I think there should be a difference between Sinestro controlling / using fear for power and being controlled by a literal fear entity (having fear dictate your moves because it overwhelmed you).

I wouldn’t have all three of Kilowog, John, and Guy be controlled by Parallax, and I definitely would not have Ganthet controlled by Parallax. In the original apparently, Batman gets controlled too and shoots Robin (????) and as much as that kind of cracks me up, I probably won’t do that either. I’d maybe have 1-2 of them be controlled by Parallax, but I’d definitely have Kilowog, because he was just plagued by fears very recently in the most recent GL run and it would be interesting to bring back and haunt him with the Xadai. Most importantly though, whoever gets possessed by Parallax should break free and overcome it themselves, I don’t like the Ganthet cop out.

I’d also include Tom. I mean just a bit before this, Ganthet even acknowledges that Oa has 2 saviors - Tom who recreates Oa and reignites the central battery, and Kyle who brings back the Guardians. It just isn’t a proper rebirth story without him, especially since it’s Hal’s rebirth. Additionally, in the Green Lantern Legacy: The Last Will and Testament of Hal Jordan, they even said that if Hal had spoken to Tom, he might not have been able to carry out all the Parallax stuff, so who better to be there to bring Hal back and maybe force Parallax to GTFO once and for all?

I’d straight up remove Sinestro from the storyline, he was unnecessary in my opinion, and ends up making Parallax bug much less scarier than it could have been. Eldritch fear entity coming back into the world? Scary. Eldritch fear entity that is kind of manipulated and utilised by some dude (tm)? Kind of lame. Parallax is like the equivalent of Ion, right? Plus he’s LITERALLY the embodiment of fear, he should be WAY scarier. Having his first appearance be in some way influenced by Sinestro undermines the bug a little imo. At most, I’d have Sinestro’s presence with the yellow ring maybe awaken Parallax from his slumber, but he should be unaware of it. (Sort of unrelated, but I think Sinestro can totally try to control or utilise Parallax in future, but I think it should be difficult and he should maybe have to try multiple times and there should be unforeseen devastating consequences and have it perhaps even backfire a little.)

Instead of the battle with Sinestro, I think they should bring back some of the other GLs and perhaps some of them who disagrees with the resurrection of Hal, resulting in a bit of a stand off. There would be the faction that think he should stay dead and the corps should have a fresh start, and the faction that think he should be forgiven. It would also tie in very well with The Last Will and Testament and Kyle’s very recent run surrounding Black Circle, and have Hal face the grief and issue he’s caused personally instead of Tom and Kyle dealing with the repercussions. Parallax can enter the scene and take control over some of GL’s by amplifying their fears from what Hal has done and what he could do again and all that, causing havoc in general. It doesn’t have to be resolved straight away, but I think the decision to resurrect Hal could be decided based on “Parallax is the bigger villain and what we’d have to deal with first and Hal is both an extremely powerful GL and also the one person to really know Parallax which could help with his defeat".

I would change it so Spectre didn’t know about Parallax. I just feel like the literal embodiment of fear from time immemorial should be a little more mysterious and scary and not so easily identifiable. Maybe Spectre didn’t even exist when Parallax had been imprisoned. (But maybe not, I don’t know enough about Spectre.)

Remove anything that mixes fear and evil. Obviously fear can lead to evil but fear is NOT evil. As cool as some phrases like “Evil finally escaped Jordan’s sight. It hid inside him.” are, it equated Parallax to EVIL instead of FEAR and I think there should be a distinction. Plus I just don’t really subscribe to the concept of pure evil and all that stuff soooo

Minor things I would add/remove/change:

Kyle not knowing he could translate with his ring. Please he has been doing it since his Titans days and just a while back he went on some alien diplomacy trip, you really think he’s out here learning alien languages from scratch?

If the baseball scene is kept, I’d change the confession stuff where everyone just start falling over their feet to confess their sins to Spectre because it just makes me very EEK. I would have it a bit more supernatural with their sins overwhelming him, maybe the visage of the person committing their sins taking over his senses to the point he could not see or hear the baseball match and maybe even can’t feel John and Guy beside him. Basically a little more horror and a little less confession booth to a priest vibe.

Have John included into statues at the Warrior Bar because there is even a Guardian but not John and that’s ://

Include Helen (unfortunately I haven’t read Spectre 2001 so I don’t know how yet)! Increase Alan, Jen, Roy, Wally’s presence in the storyline, maybe either during the GL fights part or in discussions with Justice League or just other parts.

Remove Hal always having an authority-defying habit

Keep the Guardians as mostly children except for Ganthet. Actually have an equal ratio or maybe even some gender non-conforming guardians and definitely not 2:7 ratio because I don’t know who needs to be told that in DC, but 2:7 is not 1:1. Also, if they were going to make them all old, give the female guardians wrinkles too because apparently this artist decided that even alien ancient beings older than we can imagine cannot have wrinkles if they’re girls :)

Remove the part where they gave them temporary disabilities (John was blind, Kyle was deaf) for like ONE panel and then they fought harder or whatever and it was gone like WHAT??

Things I would keep:

Guy and John’s talks, I enjoyed it

Hikers that found and took care of Kyle, it was cute

Ollie-Kyle scenes, I think they were sweet

Reciting the Oath as they defeated Parallax

Detailing the distinctions between how the GLs used their constructs, I liked that part! I would change / polish a bit of Hal and Kilowog’s (especially Kilowog’s) but I liked the idea.

There’s this thing I read on wiki’s and other people’s comments about how Kyle wasn’t taken over by Parallax because he knew fear and the others didn’t which always never made sense to me because SURELY they all have encountered, dealt with, and know fear. After all, it is something that they all grappled with in their own storyline?? But then when I read the story, it seemed a lot more like it was that Kyle was familiar with fear. That he felt it more regularly, could identify and understand it, and therefore was less likely to be controlled because when Parallax started to try to control him, he recognised it. The advice Hal gave was “Listen for fear. Remember fear.” I really liked that, because sometimes we need to be able to identify our demons and recognise it so that we can deal with it, it’s something that is applicable irl too, even though usually it’s not because a bug demon would take control of us.

There’s this THING that I don’t even know if I want to change or remove or what, but Hector Hammond in this storyline!! What is he doing there?? Why are there multiple panels of him locked up in his facility being oddly creepy, mostly towards Kyle? Like he’s all “Sing for me, Kyle” and then pops up again at the end being all ah I didn’t expect Kyle to be able to do it?? I don’t think he’s even met Kyle? How does he even know what is happening?? This doesn’t even seem to pay off in this storyline, nothing happens?? Do they go somewhere with this in another story?

Revamping

Resurrection stories are sometimes a little EH with me, so I’m not sure how I'd like to go about it best per se, but I do have a few ideas floating around.

Either way, to resurrect Hal, something to think about is how he could have a body. GL:Rebirth went the “his body was somehow preserved and someone (Kyle) brings it back from the sun” route, but there are other options like someone reconstructing his body.

In Kyle’s first run as Ion, he explicitly offers to erase Parallax (no bug demon at this point, just Hal as Parallax). Spectre!Hal tells him that it’s not wise basically and Kyle (a creepy god boy at this point) is like oooh cool, you really can’t lie huh, guess I can do it. But then he doesn’t do anything with that information.

Kyle has ANOTHER Ion run less than 2 years after Rebirth, so one possibility is to just shift forward that Ion run and to have him bring Hal back. I wouldn’t have him retcon Parallax!Hal out of existence, but perhaps being the Spectre was somehow eating into Hal’s soul and his very soul was in danger and could possibly disintegrate for good and to save him, Kyle resurrects him. I don’t know enough about Spectre, but I know Hal tries and fail to turn it into a spirit of redemption as opposed to a spirit of vengence, and some angry evil spirits are loose (?) because of that, so maybe Hal’s potential loss of soul could have to do with that.

The other (and more fun imo) possibility is to have Lianna resurrect Hal. Towards the end of Kyle’s run, he fights and defeats Amon Sur and when he was probably about to murder that guy, Lianna pops up and stabs Kyle and murder Amon instead, citing the reason that “bad stuff will happen otherwise” basically. This confuses me for so many reasons because

The guardians generally have a non-interference policy and don’t personal get involved in stuff which this is VERY involved (although of course, Lianna has kind of been flouting this rule a lot but STILL, murdering 1 or 2 dudes?)

The guardians don’t allow the GLs to kill in general, and while they are for sure more lenient with themselves, Ganthet is in charge at the moment and I can’t see him being very pro-murder

If she was trying to kill Kyle, she most definitely did not succeed, and if she really wanted to kill Kyle, surely she could’ve done a better job as a guardian?

This is because of her “prophecies” but even within the story, quite a few of her prophecies didn’t come through??

Anyway, I propose that Lianna wasn’t trying to KILL Kyle, she was trying to prevent Kyle from killing Amon because she doesn’t want him to walk down a darker path that he had kind of been heading towards. She knew he’d be able to survive (or maybe even gave him a boost that helped him survive), but she chose to interfere to stop him.

With this logic, I think it could be written that instead of straight up disobedience and killing Amon herself, she could decide to bend the rules a little and try to involve Hal so he could stop Kyle and help to capture Amon instead of killing him. From her perspective, this would work well because Hal is a good example of why you shouldn’t do that maybe, and he is powerful enough to deal with Amon! However, I imagine Spectre!Hal would be like “I can’t interfere” and all that and so she frees his soul from the Spectre and resurrects him.

This brings up multiple things that I think would be fun!

This forced resurrection is KIND OF what he did to Ollie in GA 2001, which sets up a fun “should you do this?”

This might not actually be the best thing for Hal, and maybe Lianna even knows it, but she might have done it because Kyle sort of sometimes raised her and she clearly cares about and wants to help Kyle. Before this she’s done a lot from pause planet destruction when she recognised him even while kind of crazy, help him record a message for his friends, personally deliver that message to Earth, help encourage his friends to record a message back, run interference in Jen and Kyle’s relationship, try to stop him from going into a dangerous situation, and intervene with and kind of threatened someone who was hired to kill Kyle. It would fit into the thread of things she’s been doing much more than... stab him.

Powerful Green Lanterns being brought back to the guardians’ service (Kilowog and Hal), this one actually by a guardian, which could bring up the whole “are you going to be a guardians’ puppet again?” and like topics of whether this is the direction the new corps wants to be heading, especially with all the guardians basically being younger than the GLs technically.

Hal fighting Amon Sur would be so interesting because Hal is everything Amon wants to be! Got his father’s (Abin Sur) recognition, got his father’s ring and became GL, destroyed the corps, almost cause a world destruction. Amon would detest him so much and Hal would hate Amon for tarnishing Abin’s name as well and it would be fun to see them interact. I just realised three people relating to Abin Sur (Sinestro, Hal, Amon) have all gone the villain route oh wow

Kind of unrelated, but I also like the idea that Lianna's simply   actually far more powerful than Ganthet and that's why Ganthet's powers were unable to limit her powers even when she is a baby.

Rebirth also seem to want to bring Guy and John back into the corps. The easiest way is to have the Amon VS Hal & Kyle fight closer to earth, have the Watchtower notice it, and John is dispatched to check it out. Guy can get involved either because they suspect it has to do with Kyle and he insisted on coming or John dragged him along, or Ollie somehow knows or suspect it has to do with Hal and forced the ring Hal left him on Guy and pushed him to go, or something along those lines.

Alternatively though, John is already a GL again anyway so when the corps start, he would probably be automatically be part of the corps. I don’t know how the arc where he becomes leader of GL happens, but I’d definitely keep that for him.

For Guy, one possibility is to have him join the GL back to train rookies with Kilowog (also something I talked about with @fantajoseph). I’d imagine there could be a lot of recruitment (since they’re starting all over) and so they’d want to have more than one trainer, and perhaps Guy could be a little unwilling at first (his whole “GL is the past for me” thing), but something could make him feel the obligation to join again? (Also, I don’t know why but I haven’t seen much about his Vuldarian heritage thing and I don’t know if they just didn’t let him keep those powers or something or I just haven’t seen it, but I’d definitely keep those because who doesn’t want more superpower. I think it’s fun.)

  He stopped, frozen in place upon noticing the other stood in the room. He had not meant to wander in on anyone - had merely assumed with the door not latched that the room had been empty. It appeared, however, that that was not the case as his eyes landed upon the far taller man, beige scales decorating his skin in delicate patches. Stephanivien had never seen such a thing before, never met an au ra - that was what they were called, correct? In silence he couldn’t help but stare, eyes running along the shapes of each patch of scales along the stranger’s back, flicking up to peer at horns accentuating his face. He felt his face heating already, a hand lifting to rest over his mouth and nose - eyes still peering widened through gaps in fingers.

  At the voice, he jumped and uttered a short yelp. His body turned though not entirely away, painted eyes squeezing shut and brows gently furrowing.

  “A-apologies! I-I didn’t know th-there was anyone in h-here!” he cried out, his voice raised slightly above his usual volume in his shock. He bit his lip, his ears lowering slightly. “I-I can - I-I should go, yes? I think - “ He snapped his mouth shut, hunching his shoulders. He really should have knocked.

@primalvessel

The Miqo'te's eyes were on Xadai the entire time. There was just something effortlessly attractive about the flex and play of muscle on display and by all that was holy he should not be as turned on as he was by the simple act of the Au Ra baring his arms. And yet there he was was the blood rushing south. "Huh?" he said intelligently, suddenly realising that his lover was speaking to him. "Oh! Yeah, that was the last one but if you wanna go move some furniture for me, I'll gladly sit and drool some more. Moving furniture will take you out of the sun though... "Hmm... How does chopping wood for the fire sound?"

The Miqo'te's reaction was quite comical. Xadai never disliked feeling so desired, especially when the feeling was coming from Maru. Just a simple act of moving heavy objects was enough to have the other man drooling and watching without shame. He wondered for a moment what other simple acts turned him on so much.

"Sounds like a good idea, honestly. People are talking of a cold storm getting ready to pass through soon. Might do us some good to be prepared."

That and Xadai absolutely detested the cold, though he supposed being an Au'Ra was to blame for that. His scales weren't very insulated, after all.
