OH MY POOR LAVA LAMP
HE IS TRYING SO HARD
The fascinating and heartbreaking inversion here is that originally we had a Syaoran who was trying SO hard to be like Lava Lamp - his soul was desperately trying to build itself up and be a complete being, using Lava Lamp's soul to be as similar to it as possible, but he couldn’t quite get there.
And now we have Lava Lamp who is trying SO HARD to be like Syaoran. Specifically, Syaoran’s auto-pilot programming. He’s promised Watanuki that he’ll do ANYTHING it takes to complete this task, he’ll take ANY suffering onto himself to get it done. He wants SO MUCH to be able to prioritise and get it DONE no matter the cost - like Auto-Pilot could, technically.
And with that in mind how INTERESTING that Lava Lamp and Syaoran make up their own Yin Yang contrast even now. Syaoran is mostly programming but needed a little bit of Lava Lamp to be a functioning person. Lava Lamp is already a functioning person but needs a little bit of Syaoran’s ruthless commitment to survive the horrors of his reality.
And so here we have Lava Lamp hardening himself to the loss of this child and making himself walk away, but as the child continues to speak we see how this is DEVASTATING him.
(Which might be even WORSE if he has any memories of this child of his own. Does he remember seeing him running around in the background of Syaoran's life? Did they ever interact? Has he SEEN this child grow up in reality, and now has to watch him slowly die instead?)
YES!!
Fai sees this all happening and finally bridges the gap he left open in Nihon. Before when he saw Lava Lamp’s pain he considered putting a hand on his shoulder but didn’t, couldn’t QUITE connect with him. But now he sees Lava Lamp being absolutely torn to shreds over this dying child and just gently touches his arm and talks to him - and the INSTANT change in Lava Lamp’s face. It's not an expression we've ever seen on him - like he's completely unguarded and can't summon a mask even if he wanted to. As if he can’t quite believe this is being offered to him. As if he’s not used to it. As if this has never been offered to him before.
BECAUSE IT HASNT.
It's possible he was so convinced that the distance between him and Fai would always be there because of Syaoran, but here Fai is willingly crossing that distance to comfort him and you can SEE that Lava Lamp never really thought that was going to happen. I mean, who ELSE in his life has ever been here like this for him? Ever since he went in that lava lamp the answer has been : no-one.
FAMILY TRAUMA BONDING!
Kurogane joins in the comfort by reinforcing what Lava Lamp said and sharing the blame he was trying to take all onto himself. Kurogane, Mokona, and Fai ALL opt in to let Lava Lamp know that he’s NOT doing this alone and they’re ALL equally in this together, even if the result is negative and they caused something awful. It is SO sweet to see them reaching out to him in this moment, finally building this connection between them when he desperately needs it, even as they all walk through the dissipating water of all the lives being destroyed around them. You can see by the expressions on Fai and Kurogane in this panel that they’re hardly THRILLED about the tragedy around them, but the important thing is they’re all choosing to walk in unison as it happens.
OHH AND LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO HIM
THE PAIN HAS EASED AS HE CLOSES HIS EYES GENTLY AND IS VISIBLY TOUCHED BY THE SOLIDARITY
FINALLY SOME LAVA LAMP BONDING I’M SO THRILLED
Am I even going to read Evil Wolverine’s text
No I don’t think so

You know Kuki walked in on him making this face in the mirror. You just know it. <3

retired Dream is a fuckboy?? 👀 (also lol that tried to autocorrect to ‘fun boy’) xo @hardly-an-escape
Oooooo yes, this one is so much fun! And retired Dream can be both a fuckboy and a fun boy, as a treat 🤣
The basic premise for this one is Dream becomes human, but Hob tells him to go live life as he pleases (an echo of what Dream told Hob when he was first immortal) and Dream...goes off to travel and work off thousands of years of sexual tension 😂😂
The whole thing started off in this short fic I wrote ages ago and since then I've just been prodding at it and trying to give it a real plot and not just make it a pwp lol. Here's a little bit of the fic now in the initial draft!
Murphy, as promised, does not disappear the next morning. In fact, he gives Hob a rather enthusiastic goodbye that has the immortal seeing stars and questioning whether it was possible for an orgasm to detach one’s soul from their body. Wherever he’d learned that trick with his mouth, Hob was tempted to send the other person a gift basket. And maybe a proposition of his own.
“Don’t be a stranger,” Hob says, as he kisses Murphy goodbye in his doorway. “And you should send me some selfies of any new piercings you get.”
Murphy smirks against his lips. “Only if you send me one back. Preferably if the reaction is…positive.”
Hob snorts. “Real roundabout way to ask a man to send you a dick pic, Murphy.”
“I have been told one needs to be—subtle with such things,” Murphy replies, fluttering his lashes as he steps back from Hob and into the hallway. Hob unashamedly rakes his body over the form of his friend, his now friend with benefits they’d decided last night, and hums approvingly.
“You know you never need to be subtle with me,” Hob says. “I think 600 some years earns you the right to be as crass as you want. It’s good for a man’s ego too, you know,” he adds, waggling his eyebrows. Murphy rolls his eyes.
“Goodbye Hob,” his friend says. “I’ll see you around.” Then he’s turning and walking down the stairs towards the building exit. Hob is almost certain the man is sashaying his hips on purpose, giving Hob one final show before he’s gone for who knows how long.
