Those 7 Long Years
PLATONIC Papa Alastor x GN!Child!Reader
TW: Angst- Alastor disappearing for those 7 years, fear of abandonment, separation anxiety.
A/N: I wanna say by this time Reader is about in their pre-teen/teen years depending on how fast you think they are aging in the story!!
Your day started off fine but your Papa wasn’t anywhere around..but then he was never around..Until one day he popped back into existence.
It was a peaceful morning, as peaceful as it could get in hell, but nonetheless you got yourself up and dressed for the day. Slowly making your way from your bedroom to your Papa’s bedroom, he didn’t wake you up so you figured he had gotten busy but he wasn’t around..which was weird but not exactly out of the ordinary for him, he was a busy man. You knocked once..then twice..but he never answered so you slowly opened the door, “Papa?” You called out peering into his bedroom but he wasn’t there. You closed the door and made your way downstairs hoping to see your Papa’s shadow waiting for you at the bottom of the staircase but it was never there to greet you and you couldn’t hear his jazz playing from the kitchen either but you trekked onwards to find your Papa.
Hours..you spent hours running around the hotel trying to find him. You checked his bedroom and radio tower four times. Fear started to creep into your heart as you sat on the sofa in the foyer, tears welling up into your eyes as you tried to not think about it. He would be back, maybe he was at a meeting or got sidetracked with Auntie Rosie. Yeah! That had to be it, he was sidetracked with Auntie Rosie, you could give her a call and see if he was still there! But you didn’t move from the spot, just curled in on yourself and watched the doors of the hotel. He would come back eventually…right?
You glanced back at Charlie who was sitting right next to you and curled your legs into you even more. “Waiting for Papa..” You whispered out, answering her unasked question, “He wasn’t in his room or tower this morning..he’ll be back soon.” You whispered out looking back at her, tears falling down your cheeks. “He wouldn’t abandon me right?” Your voice broke on the last syllable as you clung to her arm. Her heart shattered at the sight of you crying..Where was Alastor?
You stayed in her arms for an hour or two just crying your little heart out. She didn’t want you to feel like you were alone anymore..
~~~7 YEARS LATER~~~
When Alastor had returned from his long 7 years away from the spotlight and his little fawn, he had entered the hotel like nothing had happened..because nothing happened. But something felt off when he entered, something..no someone was missing. Where was his little fawn? His shadow disappeared from his side and moved towards the stairs as if waiting for you to run down them at any moment but that moment never came.
He hummed and walked towards the stairs before stopping when he saw you standing at the end of the hallway. Tears in your eyes, his heart shattered seeing you cry, he broke that one promise he made to himself years ago. To never be the one to make you cry. But here he was, silently watching as you broke down dropping the plates you were holding but before they could crash onto the ground his shadow had quickly scooped them up. “Papa…” You whispered out as he made his way over to you, watching you shake and tremble between each sob. Without a word he pulled you into his chest allowing you to cling to him, “You left, Papa.” He gently wrapped his arms around your smaller frame. He hated seeing you cry. He hated being the cause of your pain.
“I know, Little Fawn..I’m sorry.” He whispered out his ear flattening against his head, he couldn’t tell you why..he didn’t need to drag you into his problems. “You said you wouldn’t leave me again, but you did.” His smile pulled into a small frown as he rubbed your back, allowing you to cling to his jacket.
“I’m here to stay for good, Fawn. I won’t leave anymore.” He whispered out and he would stay. He’d keep you by his side until this silly redemption hotel worked and you went up into heaven where you rightfully belonged.

a scene from a dream
this... wasn't supposed to become a comic ?
like when i had that dream i was like no way i'm making a comic about that comic i dreamed about when all i really have is one contextless scene
but then i couldn't get it out of my mind so i sketched it
and Then, i was satisfied for about a month or two... until i almost burned myself out on The Boy Who Leapt Through time and my brain decided to physically stop me from working on that AU
so instead i decided to ink This thing, just for fun, without really bothering with details
so i guess this comic ended up being an accidental lesson on not stressing over things you love, or else you'll burn yourself out and no one will be happy about it
on top of being about what if Yuuta tried to drown Toji, of course
....... if i had a nickel for every time i drew a comic where a character drowns someone, only to have a flashback to the most traumatic day of their life, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

It’s always been pretty obvious that Marvel has a heteronormative-shaped elephant in the room when it comes to romances. But I tend to be.. tolerant, I guess.. of certain ones and not others. And I think I finally figured out what it was.
I don’t necessarily enjoy all of them, but I’m ok with the ones like Tony/Pepper (where it had a lot of onscreen time to develop and pepper was an important part of the plot) and Wanda/Vision (where the relationship is essential to both of their characters in the comics, so they made it essential onscreen as well) and Thor/Jane (where Jane was a major part of the Thor legacy in comics and onscreen she never got in the way of the story).
I am, however, completely unforgiving of the ones that introduce a straight-presenting romance just for the sake of having a straight romance.
For example,
There was absolutely no need to pair Bruce and Natasha together in AoU. They were never a thing in the comics, they weren’t central to each other’s stories, they had no romantic build-up in prior movies. It was completely out of the blue and I can’t think of single good reason they did it tbh.
Steve Rogers making out with Sharon Carter was not only gross, but also random and unnecessary. They did have a relationship in the comics, but their connection in the films was flimsy at best and having them get together onscreen after focusing so intensely on Steve’s love for Sharon’s aunt Peggy was… a choice. It didn’t further the story or add to it in any way.
Sylvie is an OC, pure and simple. The creators of the show made her up- she doesn’t even exist in the comics- so there was no prior reason for them to introduce her as a love interest to Loki- they did it because they wanted him to have a relationship with a women. Period. And given that she hindered his characterisation and took story time away from him, there was actually a good incentive not to have her exist as his lover… but y’know. He was a boy, she was girl, can I make it anymore obvious?
If this proves anything, it’s that Marvel is so desperately bought into the whole heteronormative ideal system that they find a way to work a boy-girl romance into literally every. single. plot.
*And btw, by “heteronormative” I don’t just mean like “oh if there’s a romance it has to be straight” No! I mean as in “there HAS to be a romance AND it has to be straight.”
So they’d rather have a weird forced romance between two characters who have zero chemistry than just stick with the romance that isn’t central to the plot. They’d rather have an odd uncomfortable incest-via-time-travel situation than not have a romance at all. They’d rather have the first confirmed queer character engage in selfcest with the only female version of himself than have him paired with a man or no one at all.
It’s exhausting. It’s annoying. It just goes to show that straight culture really does dominate everything and society puts so much emphasis on romance that movie makers even feel like their damn fictional characters aren’t whole and are unfulfilled until they pair them off with someone.
