#Kratos loves his grandkids

[the-awakened-insomnis]

I’ve seen other ppl make Atreus’ kiddos I figured I'd get in on the fun.

In order: 

The Evils that Plague mankind, Sleipnir

Fenrir, Hel, and Jörmungander

Narfi and Vali

[-] Story below, kinda long[-]

Atreus began having visions of their children, specifically how they’ll meet their demise, either imprisoned or straight up killed. It horrified him, even more so upon realizing Angrboda and Sigyn would also pay a tragic price for it as well. They began putting great distance between themselves and the women they cared for. There was no romance, but it was still strange considering Atreus usually spent a great deal of his time with the giant and goddess. He thinks if he keeps them at arm's length, they’ll be sparred their tragic fates, and by extension, these children doomed by prophecy. It ends up back firing.

More visions haunted Atreus sleep, ironically these visions are happier, children laughing, he swears he can see their faces almost. Him, Angrboda, and Sigyn are together, happy and at peace. One of the children run up to him, wanting to show him something. He sees a smile, innocent and joyful. It feels awful, like poison mixed with honey. Was this the punishment for defying fate so drastically? 

He doesn't sleep as much and it shows, his eyelids already blackened from his short imprisonment by Odin, the snakes venom causing severe damage. But now the bags under his eyes are more obvious. For every question asked regarding his wellbeing, he’d deflect it with some excuse, his divine duties getting to him. Nobody really fell for it but they knew pushing him would only send him away. 

Angrboda and Sigyn were equally worried and frustrated, Atreus looked like he was falling apart and the few seams he had. Dodging question after question and conveniently always having somewhere to be. One day they were together, talking about whatever, their duties, practicing magic. Healing from whatever ached them, and then suddenly Atreus is distancing himself from them. 

Then it hit her, it wasn’t completely impossible, Norns knows she’s had her own over the years. It’s only a theory, but it’s better than nothing. Angrboda ponders, what if Atreus is having visions and they’re avoiding everybody because of it? She’s heard stories of people were willing to do to avoid fate. She knows Atreus and his family share a strong distain for fate. 

But what could he be seeing that was so bad that he’d just start cutting himself off from everyone? She spoke of her theory to Sigyn, she agreed that it was very possible. 

All they had to do was find Atreus and ask....

[wiclowmakers]

rewatching kratos and odin’s first meeting and noticing how every time odin mentions, gestures, or even LOOKS to atreus, and kratos reaches for his axe the man is the living embodiment of “keep my son’s name OUT of ur mouth”

#meanwhile odin is simultaneously dismissing his grandkids and insulting his son #the parallels the concept of parental love #kratos willing to die to keep atreus safe vs odin willing to kill his own son out of spite #txt #god of war

God of War thoughts and what if s that make me sad

Before Odin reallt got to be a big ol asshole, Freya taking Baldur to Vanaheim and showing him her home

Freyr being the Best Uncle to Baldur

Baldur actually being raised in a home where neither parent despised or hated each other. There may not have been love, but maybe more of a understanding that the marriage is political.

Thor being a good father to his kids, or at least able to be a better one

Atreus teaching his kids to read hiw his mother taught him

Thrúd getting to learn from her mother how to be a leader and a Valkyrie

Kratos having a family that is happy and close (also he would totally not cry when his grandkids call I'm grandpa, there's just some dust in his eyes)

Freya continuing to help Atreus with his magic, so he can teach his kids

Atreus kids listening to Mimirs tales until they fall asleep or a grown up sends them to bed

Atreus learning about his half sister and what happened to her, and understanding why Kratos was the way he was with him.

Freya, Thrúd, Hildisvini, or Fenrir keeping an eye on Atreus family and descendants as time passes

Faye greeting Lydandra and Calliope in the afterlife and telling stories about Kratos and Atreus

Kratos making it to the afterlife and not having to chose one family or the other

Atreus kids asking Kratos about his homeland and Kratos telling them of the olive orchards, and the sea, and the beauty of Greece

Atreus kids having a favorite realm where they reside when they grow up.

Kratos becoming the Tyr his son hoped for but was let down on.

Huginn (or Munin whichever one survived) staying close to the remains of old asgard, not out of loyalty but because whatever is home if not where odin was

Kratos, Freya, Atreus and Mimir taking Atreus children on trips through the realms, and explaining what each one was and is

Atreus becoming a leader for the giants with Angrboda

Atreus growing a beard to look more like Kratos because in terms of looks, Faye genes bullied Kratos'
