I know maybe you're not in the mood right now but any thoughts about Tarzan!Max? I'd accept thoughts about any of your pics because everything is amazing tbh but there's something about Tarzan!Max discovering a new world through Daniel and discovering how amazing is to fall in love.
Does Daniel take him to his farm? I think Max in Daniel's farm would be hilarious, amazed by everything and finding a family in Daniel's family too.
babe i am always down to talk about my boy in all and any situations! sorry this took a while, i took a little nap and then couldn't think about anything but!!!
(the first thing I thought was like..how do you get a whole person through customs. obviously max doesn't have a passport or any form of id so would they have to go through a sort of immigration procedure? but he's not emigrating from anywhere???? i guess i'll leave that problem to them sdfbdjhbf)
I love the idea of Daniel taking Max to his farm.
I'm imagining like. The jungle is Max's home right? But I imagine he's a little less in contact with his monkey pack. He likes to wander around and he has his own little hidey holes and his own places to sleep. So when he imprints on Daniel, he sees Daniel's "pack" as his new family. (and I am now thinking about Max trying to "groom" Daniel or Josh or whoever, gently raking his fingers through their hair and fiddling with their clothes and cleaning dirt smudges away after licking his thumb).
So when Daniel asks if Max wants to go with them, both because he can't imagine leaving another human being in the jungle and because he can't imagine leaving Max behind, Max goes. And in whatever way they manage to do it, Daniel brings him to his farm.
He understands that Max will probably never be ready to live in a city or close to a lot of people, he needs to be close to nature, and even if the nature in Daniel's farm is different from the jungle, it's still better than most options.
I imagine at first Max will struggle to adapt. He is used to have a lot of space to roam, to have trees to swing from, a whole different climate, a whole different diet. and now Daniel asks he wears at least underwear and a tshirt most of the time, he has to eat different foods, it rains so much less? where is the rain? how is he supposed to be clean if there is no river?
Daniel has to really help him through a lot. it helps that Max is learning to communicate more and more every day, but sometimes they bump into a new roadblock that they weren't expecting, and Daniel is reminded about how different Max's life has been so far. (would love to explore an overstimulated-by-electronic-noises max when i have more energy maybe. or a deeply-sad-because-where-is-my-jungle max)
But I think Max also really enjoys learning new things. He is delighted by some of the simplest things, which makes Daniel look at life in a different way too. How did he never realise how amazing forks and knives are? why does he think so little about how incredible it is to be able to make ice in his own freezer? the wonders of a ceiling fan???
I can picture Max spending long minutes just staring at things. Clocks, the washing machine, the fan, the turned off television, the kitchen sink tap. turning lights on and off. flushing the toilet over and over. And I can also picture him taking apart stuff and then (try to) put it back together, like the toaster (was never the same), the blender (was left with several pieces on the counter), the tv remote (tried to eat the buttons).
Max being terrified of Daniel's phone and then, when he gets used to it, absolutely fascinated by it. Asking so many questions about everything that Daniel doesn't know the answer to and forcing him to look them up because Max will simply not stop asking until he has a satisfying answer.
On the other hand, Max taking care of the vegetable garden and the animals. Being so incredible at it that it becomes mainly his job. They're different from the animals he's used to, but he is amazed by the chickens and loves them so much. Sometimes he likes to just sit with them and pet them softly. He becomes best friends with the donkey and the alpacas. maybe Daniel gets him bunnies and at first he's worried Max will kill them when he's hungry, but Max is so so gentle with them and loves them all so much.
And in all this, Max loves Daniel. He does his best to make Daniel food, gives him little "gifts" (eggs from the chickens, tomatoes from the garden, a clean sweater straight from the drier, a glass of water with clinking ice), curls up around him at night because he always refuses to sleep in his own bed. He's very protective of Daniel and gets upset when Daniel needs to leave the farm for errands or other things.
And Daniel shifts from I am very fond of this weird jungle boy to I would very much love to sleep in your arms for the rest of my life with a side of oh my god when is this beefy jungle guy gonna rail me. He sees how gentle and sweet and smart Max is, how quickly he learns about things and adapt to this new life, how interested he is about everything, how he takes care of Daniel, the farm, the animals, and can't help but fall in love with it all.
And the first time Daniel kisses Max at the farm, they're on the couch, Max watching something on the tv, almost without blinking, and Daniel watching Max. He calls his name and when Max turns (because Daniel will always be more important than anything else, even if the guy in the tv is cooking beef and Max is kind of hungry) Daniel kisses him. Max stays still for a bit and then when Daniel pulls back Max licks his cheek in response. It's not perfect, but Daniel can teach him. and Max always learns.

Honesty and Deception
Chapter Five of One Who Holds a Star (Aka Star Holder) is now up on AO3! I know I was just posting the full chapters on here, but chapter five is double the length of the previous chapters (I’m sorry, the plot got so big).
You can read chapter five here! <3
Chapter Snippet:
"Come and sit, Moon! Relax for once," Sun encouraged him. Moon strolled over to the couch and plopped down beside you. He leaned onto the arm of the couch and swirled the wine in his glass.
"The star holder tells me that they've never had wine before," Moon said casually. Sun turned to you.
"Truly? There's quite the cellar in the temple, though..." He furrowed his brow. You shifted. What did that mean? Didn't Sun tell the temple that drinking was indulgent and dangerous?
"No, your grace, I've never had wine," you shook your head. You attempted to sit up straighter, but the couch was incredibly soft. And the more you tried, the further into the cushions your seemed to sink.
"Hm," Sun nodded, "well! You're in luck! This is certainly the best wine I've ever had. Bonnie is quite the master at making spirits." To emphasize, he took a long sip from his glass. Moon followed. And so did you.
The drink warmed you from the inside out as it travelled down. The flavor was light and sweet- something you weren't expecting from a drink you understood to be rather aged. It felt as though you'd just bitten into a particularly fresh and juicy pear.
"It's been so long since we've had time to sit like this," Sun sighed, swirling the wine in his glass.
"It's been so busy since it became just the two of us," Moon nodded.
"And we're quickly approaching one of the busiest times of year again," Sun looked into the fire.
"The Luna Ceremony," Moon groaned, leaning back into the couch, "if only I could discover a way to halt time."
"Oh, come now! You always have fun!" Sun laughed, shaking his head.
"I do not. You have fun dragging me around all night. And I only let you because I know if I let you go alone you'd pass out in the streets." Moon narrowed a displeased gaze on Sun. Sun grinned sheepishly, looking off to the side.
"Your grace, may I ask?" You looked up at Moon. He turned to you.
"You don't need to keep asking permission to speak, star holder," his frown deepened, "not when you were invited here. Ask."
"Of course. Forgive me, your grace, I'm still adjusting..." You looked into the deep red liquid in your glass, "I was just wondering why it seems that you don't enjoy the Luna Ceremony? Is the ceremony not a celebration of you?" You peeked up at Moon, curious.
"You're only partially correct," Moon twisted his wine glass in his long fingers, "the Luna Ceremony is a celebration of the gifts the moon provides. There have been a great many moon gods. The mortals hardly know me from my mother, and I personally don't care for them to know me. Also, I do not enjoy social events."
"Come on, Moon! It'll be fun! We get to dress up, have good food and drink! We'll spend the whole night merry making!" Sun bounced in his seat.
"You're lucky I stay to make sure nothing happens to you," Moon growled softly.
"What would I do without you?" Sun chuckled.
"Well, based on our history, I assume you'd die early. Likely doing something foolish," Moon said flatly. You looked between Moon and Sun in quiet wonder. They were so... casual. It was strange to see them sitting and talking like this. Like you were seeing something you shouldn't. You sipped at your wine, trying your best not to seem as small as you felt.
"How cruel," Sun laughed, "I can handle myself... Star Holder! Are you familiar with the Luna Ceremony?" He turned a warm smile in your direction.
"Yes, your grace. I've read about it," you nodded, "but I've never attended."
"Yes, I'm aware," Sun nodded in turned, "would you like to? It's quite the event!" Your heart skipped. Would he truly permit you to attend?
"I would like to," you nodded, "...but it would be safer for me to remain at the temple, would it not? The star's protection is what's most important." You looked into your glass again. While your gaze was downcast, Moon shot Sun a cold glare. Sun shifted, the light of his rays dimming partially. A look of guilt flitted across his features before he quickly replaced it with another smile.
"I'm sure one night couldn't hurt," Sun said confidently, "and I would be close by. It's true that there are certain risks that come with attending such a large event... However. You ought to attend! Seeing our dear Moon perform there is really something."
"You would permit me to go?" You looked up at Sun. Hope dared to surface, but you pushed it back down. No. No, if Sun was being this nice he must want something. Or he must be testing you.
All your life he had been some distant figure. A light that you lived in the shadow of. Shoes you were meant to try and fill. He’d never taken an interest in you before... Before Eclipse did. What did that mean?
“If you would like to,” Sun nodded, “you’re very bright, I know you are. I trust that you can handle yourself for a night.”
“Truly? Thank you, your grace...” You tried to stop yourself. You did. But a smile found its way onto your face despite your efforts. Sun sat straighter. He glanced at Moon. Moon’s own frown twitched, threatening to twist into a smile of his own. Sun hadn’t been able to make you smile in ages. He felt almost elated to see it.
