there's a world out there where haiti never happens, and tim's parents get their divorce but are both allergic to spending any time with their son still and keep traveling, so in a few arcs and a series of comic events, tim gets left in the primary custody of That Nice Bruce Wayne Guy, Isn't It Great He's Always There To Look After Tim When Disaster Strikes And They're Not Around? while they globetrot and occasionally visit. and it's so funny to me.

okay but i AM thinking about Divorced Parent Zukka
Izumi living mostly full-time in the Fire Nation with Zuko because of politics and she’s the heir and blablabla
Izumi never feeling fully like she belongs among the Water Tribe because she so rarely gets to visit and learn the culture
Sokka and Izumi’s relationship doomed to get complicated as she grows up and wow if it isn’t too uncomfortably similar to Sokka’s relationship to his own dad as a teenager
Izumi not even able to talk about either of her dads with the other one because she’ll just get annoyed at their stubborn idiocy
Izumi being the one to FINALLY bring her stubborn dads back together when she’s an adult and can see they never stopped loving each other…

The Greatest Shame - ZoSan Divorce AU Fic Teaser
Presenting the first teaser for the ZoSan Divorce AU fic! I've been working on this for a bit after several talks on a Discord server about the idea. Well, now I'm not too far from finishing the first chapter, at least as long as I can keep the writing momentum going.
I hope y'all enjoy, and I highly recommend checking out @bubba-luz since they posted some soul-crushing art for this AU before I actually started writing this fic.

The All Blue truly was everything he had heard it would be, perhaps even more than he had pictured in his mind. Over the decades he had traveled on the Thousand Sunny, he had never seen the sea so clear or the countless creatures that lived below the waves visible in a rainbow of colors. It was beautiful, that he could admit, but it only caused the heavy feeling in his chest to grow. Zoro sat at the water’s edge on the dock of an island he had never realized was close to the mystical sea. It had been an accident finding his way here to the All Blue, maybe that was why he stayed on this island with no name. Maybe that was why he had chosen to stay silent all this time, waiting for the others to find their way here.
The rhythmic click of a lighter and the following all too familiar scent of cigarette smoke causes him to stiffen, closing his eye as the quiet footsteps slowly approach. He feels when the other stops, only a few steps from where he sat, watching the waves quietly. The silence only adds to the heaviness in his chest, broken only by the quiet exhalation of smoke. He slowly opens his eye, willing himself to glance at Sanji from the corner of his eye. The cook’s blonde hair was longer now, pulled into a loose tie at his back and once again back to the hairstyle he had joined the Straw Hats with, but that only caused the ache to spread, especially as Zoro’s gaze traveled down towards his hands. Guilt festered as he took in the way Sanji’s hands trembled as he held his cigarette, the scar he had inflicted long ago still obvious despite the years since then. Simply seeing the damage he had caused made the scars on his back light up with phantom pain, burning as if it had just happened.
He can feel the pressure build in his throat, choking any words he would have said to Sanji, if he believed that anything he spoke would be worth acknowledging. The air was tense with the silence, yet neither was willing to break the dark cloud that had settled over them since long ago. It’s sad really, Zoro thinks, gazing once again at the waters of the All Blue. He’s the world’s greatest swordsman, yet something so simple causes him to lose his voice, leaving him unable to find his way. What good is such a title when the one person he wanted most to share his success with no longer looks his way. But he knows he doesn’t even deserve a passing glance, let alone being in his presence. He lost that right long ago. This is the one thing that Zoro knows will never be fixed.

I saw your whole bit about cheaters in Saw and I concur completely. For me it doesn't even register as a possibility for Strahm because he has the wombo combo of being a gay autistic. He married his high school sweetheart and chased the white picket dream because that's what he was told to do by authority figures back in the day. I like to think his ex wife is a lovely person that figured out the relationship wasn't working and mercifully started the divorce proceedings so Strahm could finally figure out his own shit. I think he keeps the ring on as a source of stimming comfort
(disclaimer: headcanons, but as an autistic adult, all I see is a man who tried to play by societal rules, but society was not built to accommodate autistics/gay men and work is the only thing that really makes sense to him)
yeah if anything, if he has an ex at all, it was broken off and its 1000% over as of long ago (i really cant do any love still being there w divorces im sorry. whether that means its a clean breakup headcanon or a messy one. they can still be friends, but no love. i will self-insert that headcanon if a fic says otherwise just so i can continue reading it, unless it becomes a big enough plot point.. this is my 1 absolute no im sorry 🙏)
ive also thought of that, of them meeting in school or something, and either Peter himself or Mrs Strahm realizing long ago that they perhaps made a mistake, young and dumb, and itll be better for both of them to go their separate ways and continue exploring themselves
the ring being kept as a reminder to himself for x, y, or z reasons is good 👌👌 ive seen it being a sign to himself to be careful entering relationships because his addiction to work got between the last one, i like that too

snarky asshole meets snarky asshole,, hijinks ensue..
don't forget the angsty shared history and talking about the other any chance they get. no proper communication about their feelings allowed of course,, not on this page
it's the bitter exes bitter how things ended up and refusing to admit any wrongdoings relating to it and deep underlying insecurity of the other truly knowing them (and the fear of them using it against them) whilst simultaneously missing that sentiment and connection for me.

the way like a good 75% of the time the main overarching conflict in a cosmere book is Shard Drama™ is so funny to me because its like. imagine you and nearly everyone else in your small discord server became god and got your own planets but you kept on having the same interpersonal beefs you had in life except now there are people dying because of your messy breakup or that one dipshit who you all hated getting to be the literal embodiment of the concept of being sinister and malevolent
