ok so. i really do like arthur/drifter but. listen. hear me out. drifter/kullervo.

drifter always gravitating to kullervo's hold during the darker spirals. always fighting kullervo. sometimes drifter dies in the fight and usually kullervo does. kullervo always kneels to them no matter the outcome.

rattling bars. their interaction is usually when they're fighting each other to the death but sometimes drifter just swings by kullervo's cage before the fight. sometimes they talk about the outside world. sometimes they don't say anything at all. they tell kullervo that almost all of the orokin are dead. after new war, they tell them about ballas.

kullervo never says a thing in response. but they listen. and they kneel after their fights, no matter the outcome, and for drifter, that's enough for them.

idkkkk i feel like there could be such a unique and understated relationship there. why does kullervo stay in his cage if drifter has the power to free him? because kullervo doesnt want to leave and drifter kind of gets it. why does kullervo kneel even if they succeed in killing drifter? bc they're the only bitch they respect in this messed up spiral.

anyway kullervo/drifter. many brainworms. may write a oneshot at some point.

May Mixtape Writing Challenge Day 5 Song: Colter Wall - Sleeping on the Blacktop

"Sunshine beating on the good times Moonlight raising from the grave..." The Drifter asks Deputy Commander Sloane for a favour.

Link to Ao3 if you prefer to read it there.

Deputy Commander Sloane woke to the soft clinking of glass on glass. She raised her head from the black metal top of the table, to see the Drifter, a bottle in one hand, two glasses in the other.

Sloan's Ghost, Síocháin, was hovering by her head, knives ready. With the hand holding the bottle, the rogue Lightbearer held out his middle finger toward the ghost.

"Drifter," Sloane said dryly, sitting up above the paperwork she'd fallen asleep in the middle of, eyeing him as he used the butt end of the bottle to push a cupboard door closed.

"Hey now," he said, plunking the empty glasses on top of a stack of Vanguard ammunition inventory tracking sheets before unscrewing the top of the bottle.

Sloane eyed the topaz yellow liquid that came out of Drifter's bottle suspiciously.

He picked up one glass, clinked it against the other and sat down on a chair at the opposite end of the table from her, taking a sip.

Sloane made a face, unsure if she should accept the drink she hadn't asked for and didn't want, then sighed and picked up the glass.

One of her eyebrows raised as she saw him visibly relax when she took a sip. Drifter being nervous wasn't new, Drifter showing he was nervous was definitely not a common occurrence. Interesting.

The alcohol was... not bad actually. Smooth, strong, genuinely nice. It had a kick Sloane was accustomed to experiencing when the Drifter poured her a random alcoholic beverage but it was definitely better than most of what he'd shared with her over the years. Robust taste of orange rind. Not too sweet but enough sugar to balance out the bitter.

"This is... not bad," she said, rolling her head from side to side to help ease the stiffness in her neck. "What is it?"

"Grand Marnier. Some of my nicest stuff, not gonna lie."

"What's the occasion?"

"No occasion, just sayin' hey."

Sloane raised her other eyebrow. "Drifter, why are you here?"

"I mean," the Drifter leaned forward, gesturing to the Derelict around them with his glass. "It is my ship."

"Yeah and, outside of running Gambit, you haven't spent more than ten minutes on it since we got Eris back."

"I guess that's fair." He smirked and leaned back.

"I'm not moving till Ikora says the mission is done," Sloane glared at him. "I always complete the mission." And, she added mentally, you're not going anywhere until the mission's done either.

"That's fine. That's not what I'm here for."

Sloane blinked, remembering it was the middle of the night, and the Guardian had been running through the Nether cleaning up the aftermath of Oryx's escape and subsequent destruction for weeks now.

Drifter had been relatively passive about her having moved her command centre to his ship to keep him from running. He'd been unusually passive and weirdly compliant with everything, in fact.

Although, Sloane did recognize that having the love of your lives die in your arms and then come back from the dead after you were a dick to everyone you'd ever known and fucked off to abandon all your friends to die probably didn't fill a person with much pushback.

"Ok then, why are you here?"

"Wanted a drink."

"Uh huh..." Sloane eyed him overtop of her glass and took another sip. It really was nice stuff.

Whatever he wanted, he really wanted it and he also wasn't going to spit it out without some preamble, apparently. At least the alcohol was nice, and, she admitted, while she was still pissed at him for leaving, Eris had a point. He had come back. And that did mean something. She decided to wait at least a little bit for him to spit out whatever it was he needed to work himself up to asking her.

"You uh... keep up with the times on all the new fancy light powers everyone's been playin' with?" the Drifter ran his thumb along the bottom of his beardwhile placing his elbows on top of Sloane's reports.

"What do you mean?"

"Warlocks got a new Solar bird thing, new sparkle buddy, Hunters got a blink knife..."

"Yeah and?"

"You seen the Titan stuff since ya got back?"

"I have. Why"

"Can ya do it?"

Sloane's eyes narrowed, trying to figure out what the shifty man was up to now. "Can I do what?"

"The new stuff Titans are doing?" he asked the Titan sitting in front of him.

"Yes," Sloane took another sip of the pleasant alcohol.

"Grenades too?"

"Yes. Drifter, is there a point to all this?"

"The Solar ones that heal?" he asked, ignoring her question.

Sloane sighed. "Yes."

The Drifter licked his lips and took a large swallow from his glass before clearing his throat and continuing. "Can you uh... teach me?"

Sloane gave him a confused look. "Teach you how to be a Titan?" she asked incredulously.

"Nope. Just the one Grenade. Everyone can do that right? Don't matter what Class. Everyone can throw a Solar grenade if they're runnin' Solar. Hell I do it all the time... just uh... not that one... that one's new."

"You... want me to teach you... how to do healing nades?" Since when did the Drifter want anyone to teach him anything, let alone about the Light?

He looked down at his glass and then back up at her, his face concerned but earnest. "Yeah," he nodded. "Most people get that intel from either Ikora or their ghosts but... I'm not exactly Ikora's favourite person right now... and as for my ghost I uh... kinda voided the warrantee on him a while back."

"I thought you hated the Light and refused to even pick a Class, never mind learn how to use it properly."

"Yeah. Never been a fan. And besides... who said anything about properly?"

"Hmmm..." What was his angle here? He always had one.

"But a tool ya don't like is still sometimes the right tool for the job," the Drifter continued, turning his glass, tilting it, watching the yellow alcohol roll flow inside of it. "I can throw a Stasis grenade just fine, and I can light shit on fire well enough, but... that don't heal no one and I'd..."

Sloane watched as his hands began to shake. He put the glass down on the table, sat back and began fiddling with a jade coin he'd pulled out of seemingly nowhere.

His voice also shook slightly as he continued and he seemed to be forcing himself to keep it under control. "I'd like to be able to do that if I'm ever in another situation where I... wish I was able to..."

Sloane put her own glass down, suddenly understanding. "This is about Eris, isn't it?"

"Yeah," the Drifter said gently, painfully, without any guile or subterfuge that Sloane could tell.

This was new. He was being completely up front with her. The delay in spitting out what he wanted wasn't him trying to work an angle. He was struggling because he was being honest about something he needed. From her.

Drifter leaned forward again and took another large sip from his glass before he continued. "I can't help but think how... if I'd known how... maybe I could'a..."

His voice faded out and his eyes unfocused briefly before he licked his lips and looked back at Sloane. "Probably not but... best time to have started learning how to do it was before... and the second best time to start learning it is now. So... can you teach me?"

Drifter wanting to learn how to wield his Light was definitely not something Sloane was expecting, but him coming to her, of all people, to learn how was what really surprised her. She looked him over as he nervously finished off the contents of his glass, waiting for her answer.

She realized he was afraid she'd say no. How many people did he trust enough to learn from? How many people would take a request like this and throw it back in his face? The way Eris had talked about him was still bouncing around Sloane's head, how he'd grown and how there was a time he would have killed himself over and over to avoid feeling a thing like grief.

If someone had asked her months ago if she ever thought the Drifter would come asking for her help to teach him how to wield the Light, Sloane would have scoffed and told them they were delusional. But now... he really didn't have much in the way of friendships. Certainly not after the shit he'd pulled, Sloane mused.

Him leaving was a pretty big betrayal as far as she was concerned. A massive strike against him and Sloane had written off what little tentative friendship they'd built together over the years because of it. But now? Knowing how badly losing Eris broke him. Knowing how Sloane had found him, desperate, trying to make a wish, of all things, to get Eris back. When he'd been the person who'd always said you couldn't trust wishes and you never got what you ask for out of those things.

Sloane really had seen him at his lowest point. And punched him in the face for it.

She didn't regret it. He deserved it. But maybe him leaving after that was deserved too. Maybe if she'd been more gentle he might have had a reason to stay. Maybe.

"Teach you how to throw a healing grenade? Yeah, I can do that," Sloane answered, watching him suck in a deep breath (had he been holding his breath?) "But it is Solar, so we should go somewhere that won't get damaged if we set the whole place on fire."

The Drifter grinned and poured more of the yellow alcohol into his glass. He reached over to top up Sloane's glass but she shook her head and covered it with her hand.

"Got a Gambit map I retired that's not in use anywhere. That work?"

"The piss map?" Sloane asked, eyeing the colour of the liquid in both their glasses.

"Heh." Drifter looked down at his glass and seemed to instantly get the joke Sloane hadn't made but had indeed been thinking. "You heard about that, did ya?"

"Everyone heard about it." Sloane finished her, still admittedly very nice, drink. "Guardians don't complain quietly."

"No... no they do not."  When he said it he winced a little. Both understood he was talking about more than just the piss map.

Maybe some things were worth rebuilding.

But if you're going to rebuild something that's been ruined once already, it's important to lay a strong foundation.

"Fine. I'll teach you on the piss map," Sloane said. "But you're doing something for me in exchange."

Time to see how sorry he really was.

The Drifter nodded, seemingly comforted by the transactional nature of their proposed exchange. "Alright. What do you want?"

Sloane smirked and stood. She leaned forward and picked up the nearly four inch stack of Vanguard ammunition inventory tracking sheets that had been piling up on her desk for the past two months.

The Drifter made a face.

"You're good at math." Sloane plunked them down in front of him. They landed with an audible thunk.  "I need them by Tuesday."

"Oh, fuck me," he said, looking up at her, managing to look both incredulous and like he was sulking at the same time.

"The things we do for love, huh?" Sloane patted him on the back before walking away.

The sound of the Drifter's exasperated groan caused the Deputy Commander's smile to widen as she continued down the hall.

I think I’ve reached my limit with inktober stuff, so here’s all the pieces I’ve done this year. ^^

Granted its not…a lot, but considering I was tackling two different prompt list this time, I think I did a decent job(plus it really helped that I didn’t tackle ALL the prompts XD).

Once more, prompts for Darksiderstober were made by @proxis-shattered-expectations and the HMtober(Hyper Light Drifter)prompts can be found on Heart Machine’s Twitter.
