#way down we go is a motherfucking bop and its great for angst scenarios

Darlin and Sweetheart finally deciding that they’re done with Quinn. Sweetheart knocks some sense into Tank; “fuck that stupid deal- people are DYING. We have to do something. I’m leaving tonight- with or without you.” “…and what about Milo? I take it he doesn’t like this little ‘plan’ of yours all too much.” “Milo doesn’t know. That’s the thing about being a stealth, Tank; you can disappear easily. Are you with me or not?”

Sweetheart leaves a note for Milo, knowing he would have wanted to come with them. But considering the state of his magic- yeah that’d be a hard pass on their part. Sweetheart refuses to ever put Milo in danger again.

Sweetheart standing in the middle of theirs and Milo’s apartment living room, looking from a crack in the bedroom door to a very asleep Milo, to the note on the kitchen counter. Tears build in their eyes at the agitating confliction. “It’s the only way. We’re running out of time anyways.”

Darlin has an easy time feeling like shit for breaking their promise to Sam, but part of them really believes Milo’s mate is right; that they can do this. The two depart that night, driving in silence hours into the dark streets of Dahlia.

Darlin and Sweetheart tracking Quinn down by the early hours of the morning, staying at a motel together to regroup before next nightfall. Sam and Milo are blowing up their mate’s phones with call after call, and text after text to no avail. “We’re in too deep to stop now.”

THESE TWO ARE SO BADASS I JUST NEED THEM TEAMING UP TO KILL QUINN; there’s no way Sweetheart isn’t incredibly talented in other forms of magic. Tank “doesn’t need magic” and prefers to let their teeth and claws do all the talking.

Sweetheart and Darlin coming back to the pack all bloody and bruised, barely conscious- OOH OR WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE FOUND THEM AND WHAT IF THAT SOMEONE IS LOVELY. “I…. Found these two passed out just outside of Wonderworld. Sorry it’s so late I’m-… not used to the sun feeling like shit just yet.”

Sam and Milo can leave the scolding for later, they’re just so glad to see their mates alive and in-not-one-piece. @raaanciid @4ngelv4mp
