The Magnus Archives and Gundam 0079 crossover because it's been eating my brain

okay so this is mostly what of the 14 fears the cast of the original gundam would be connected to because we've put too much thought into this to not write it down somewhere (skipping over getting marked by the slaughter because that's the fear of war so like,,, duh)

Amuro: just narrowly avoids becoming an Avatar of the Lonely, like just barely, like he gets stuck in the Lonely and someone has to find him and get him out type just barely. He's pretty isolated throughout the show tbh so he'd be pretty easy pickings, but at the very end he's like "no I have friends fuck you" Martin style

Char: my first thought was avatar of the slaughter but then I thought about it for like .2 seconds longer and this guy is an Avatar of the Desolation through and through, especially with the themes of revenge with some of that fears avatars. The guys plan is to systematically kill the entire family of the guy who wronged him like, c'mon. Could also have a fun bastardization arc of "well your revenge is complete, you have still sold your soul to an eldritch manifestation of humanities fear"

Kai: i feel like he'd just somehow manage to avoid all the eldritch fear bullshit by just going "I am not looking, I do not see it". Maybe later in life he could become an Eye Avatar with the whole journalism thing, but in the original show anytime some fear bullshit goes down he just walks the other direction

Sayla: I feel like she also wouldn't manage to get avatarized, but like in a Gerry Keay way, like she's been embroiled in this shit for awhile and she's going around making sure people don't get killed by the fears and destroying dangerous artifacts

Hayato: okay we said we wouldn't mention Slaughter marks, but I'll make an exception here because he gets very very close to becoming an Avatar of it, Melanie King style. Like he's upset/angry that he can't keep up with Amuro and the Slaughter uses that as a jumping off point to get into his psyche. I don't think he actually becomes an avatar but there's a point where he very easily could

Mirai: part of me really wants to make her an Avatar of the Vast for no reason other than she can fly a spaceship and the Vast is one of our favorite fears. Tbh we honestly can't think of anything else for her

Frau Bow: the corruption tries to get it's hooks worms in her and she just puts it in a jar and moves on with her life Joshua Gillespie style.

Bright Noa: okay so he's actually really difficult, in an AU where they're in the Magnus Archives he definitely takes Jon's place in the narrative and becomes an Avatar of the Eye, but in Gundam proper we honestly have no idea? First thought was Web but he's not manipulative enough for that, it feels like he should fall to one of the fears but idk which one? Maybe the Buried, like in a metaphorical buried by his responsibilities type way

Ryu: he's too mentally okay to fall to any of the fears tbh, i think his death is a catalyst to the others falling to the fears more though

Lalah: first thought was Eye but after thinking about it more she's definitely an Avatar of the End, especially with that scene where she predicts a swan dying right before it does. She just has End avatar vibes idk how to explain it

Garma: okay he was only in a couple of episodes but there's a really fun concept we have where Char fucks up killing him and he becomes an Avatar of the Lonely and he shows up periodically as a "ghost" to psychologically torment Char. realistically he'd be an avatar of the slaughter if he was one at all, but fuck being realistic this concept is more fun

Bonus: Kamille becomes and End Avatar at the end of Gundam Zeta

“I still can’t really believe I’m a dad now.” 

Amuro still feels quite shocked that he is one. Nevertheless, it’s something that does bring him great joy in realizing that he is.

Amuro sighs softly as he looks at some of the mementos of the past that were present in the work shop that he used as his own personal solitude. A home away from home - all the while ‘home’ was a constantly shifting and fluid construct. Whether it was the former Earth Federation uniform he wore in his first rodeo upon the White Base hanging in the closet, many a size too small for his body, or the bomber jacket that he wore when he was an instructor and a member of the AEUG, at least, for a short time. 

A lot had changed in that time, but yet the same demons still remained. Even with his love for Sayla, he still held enormous amounts of guilt for Lalah so many years ago, and how she was more or less a tension point in the eternal battle between him and Char. He still had many a nightmare and spells of regret over the many men that he more or less killed in cold blood - a side effect of having a trial by far in war, and in youth, and being told to kill, and kill extravagantly. 

There were some days where he never left this work shop - a warm cocoon that allowed him to do what he wanted to do from the very beginning, and leave him to his thoughts. He could sense that sometimes, Sayla was worried for his well being when he locked himself in his work shop, or spent the day in their bed room staring at the ceiling and remembering all that he had done. 

Nevertheless, he was here. Even with another year of his life done and dusted, he found himself, through all the trials and tribulations, the horrors and glories of war, he found himself a more complete man then he was when he hopped into the cockpit of the Gundam back on Side 7. Through every event in his life from then onward, he had learned to grow up. 

That had to count for something, as he proceeded to let his hand run against the leather arm of the bomber jacket hanging in the corner. He wondered where Sayla was at this moment, or whether he should go into town for a walk.

“There’s a few I could think of, to be honest. Being collateral in the war games of a small handful of men. The cruelty of fate. The misfortune of youth. Take your pick. They’re all equally miserable.”

And all of those were good options to pick. In fact, all three were pretty succinct to the situations that Amuro faced - both in the past, and now. 

But even with those thoughts of ‘why him?’ nagging in his mind to this very day, he had to keep on. Keep moving forward. 

“I guess you’re right. Maybe that’s why we can be miserable together.” Of course, the male meant that sarcastically, but still...
