#this is all still accurate if ur mostly looking thru A (kit’s) eyes

@gjalleon i was GOING to send an ask with my oc infodump, but it got too long and I couldn’t chunk it up well into multiple asks. But I legit went on desktop for this. I needed a hype up for working on my wip. And you gave me an opening.

My main two oc’s are the protag and antag of my main wip. And these boys have History. The both of them have been best friends since they were very young, and later in life both got accepted into what is essentially an elite research program. 

Character A is a cinnamon roll savant, who joined the program with hopes of bettering the world and is bursting with excitement at being able to work with some of the smartest minds to help fix the sorry state of things (there was a whole eco-war we won’t get into it-). 

Character B mainly applied so he could stay with A, even though he’s more than qualified in his own right. A is definitely B’s soft spot, B being extremely jaded otherwise.

As the two start in this new place, A quickly climbs the ranks and makes a bunch of new friends of their colleagues, while B falls behind and gets outcasted. B starts getting spiteful, although he can’t tell if it’s at A or at the program. So he decides to go big. He starts working on this huge secret project while A continues being a “golden boy.” 

When it comes time to test his research, B asks A.During the tests, A finds out B has been working on a necrotic virus, and in the process gets infected. Instead of helping his once-best friend, B just runs, taking his research with him. 

A makes it out alive, but loses his arm in the process of keeping the infection from killing him.Years later, A is put on a task force, and they’re sent to figure out why people have been disappearing and returning with a strange sickness. And he finds B. Continuing his tests, slowly losing his sanity, and oh GOD when they see each other for the first time after everything.

I have cried so many times over these motherfuckers. I will say, they have a happier ending than what this setup implies. But the god complex I get from writing the special angst of “friends to enemies to friends to lovers” is unmatched.
