prompt: will refuses to meet his alternate universe brothers
"so you're telling me my doppelgangers are an alcoholic cop who hates women, a literal cult leader, and someone who on paper is the most unprofessional district attorney i've ever heard of in my life?"
"don't forget the autistic fellow with the heart of gold who does astronomy"
will's mouth twists into a sour expression. "okay, him, him i'll meet. i don't want to touch the rest of these bastards."

Nigel brings Tonny to Cal to experience his first time with a man.
The Master of your fate (4.7k words)
“Are you going to watch?” There was nothing seductive in the way Cal spoke to Nigel, but it made his cock twitch anyway. He never used to fraternise with those in his employ, but Cal had become the exception in that respect, and in many others. Nigel wouldn’t admit that he was whipped, even though he knew he was. 
Cal had been working for him for almost five years and they’d been fucking just as long. He was the highest earning Dom in Nigel’s establishment, and the only male omega. Nigel had never worked with omega Doms before and almost hadn’t hired him, but he was forever grateful he’d given him that first shift to see if it could work out. 
Nigel hadn’t known until the first time he saw Cal naked that he was trans. The pec scars and his smaller than average omega cock gave away that he’d started life as a female omega, not that it mattered. In fact, Nigel never disclosed this information to clients. By the time Cal had them on their knees begging him to hurt them, they didn’t care if he was trans or not - even those who might have had a problem before worshipping at his feet.
Nigel’s mouth was watering as Cal looked through the one-way glass into the waiting room. This wasn’t a peepshow, all of Nigel’s employees could refuse a client they didn’t like the look of, or even didn’t click with once they were in the room. Cal studied the young man through the glass. 
“He looks like you.” Cal continued when Nigel hadn’t replied. “Younger.”
“Yeah,” Nigel replied. The alpha in the next room was Nigel’s nephew Tonny. A troubled kid who needed to get the fuck away from his family. They looked down on Nigel for his line of work, called him a pimp, yet they were all fucking drug runners that would just as soon rat each other out as anything. Tonny was here for a visit and Nigel didn’t want the kid to go back to that life, even if it made his brother-in-law fucking mad. He’d soon learn Nigel was just as connected as he was if he tried anything. 
And this… This had seemed like a good way of getting Tonny to stay. To help him out like this, give him a freebie. Because that kid was so fucking repressed. So deep in the closet that he might as well be in fucking Narnia, which was fucked up and would never change as long as he went back to his shitty family with their ideas about male alphas only fucking female omegas. Backwards fuckers. 
Of all his employees, Nigel knew that Cal would understand. He had come from a fucked up background himself. Alcoholic mother, a runaway from a fucking cult that thought transitioning was ungodly or some shit. From what Cal had told him - in those stolen moments when they lay in bed together, coming down from their climaxes and caught up in the intimacy of it - it seemed more the case that the fucking cult leader just preferred Cal as a girl. And he was in charge, what he said was the fucking word apparently. And somehow Cal had found the strength to escape that. 
“You’re going to watch,” Cal said, answering his own question.

Prince Charmont forewent the agencies his assistant sent him & instead put out unofficial feelers for mercenary bodyguards.
It took all of his effort to remember he was Royalty on official duties & not in the Bear bar is minor-Royal cousin Cal took him to!

I finished The Path :D
Quick character and song analysis for Cal Roberts, Hugh Dancy’s character. So spoilers obvi but also TW! Sexual abuse, trauma and violence will be talked abt in this post.
When I was getting close to the season three finale I had listened to Two-Headed Pt. 2 and had the connections thrown in my face. Neutral Milk Hotel has always used religious or spiritual imagery in their music which is so fitting for a show about being in a cult. The way Jeff describes relationships and trauma, how he puts them all together can be healing and a little scary as it is a very raw look at the horrors of life. It reflects the way a victim may respond to their own trauma once they have started the healing process. This song reflects Cal’s experience as Jeff reflects on his family and childhood and the use of fatherly imagery.
As Cal’s story unfolds it’s revealed that he is a victim of childhood sexual abuse and it’s explored quite extensively. Cal isn’t fully aware of the abuse and has it is slowly revealed to himself and others. This trauma effects every aspect of his character and the relationships he forms within the cult. He believes that he has had something so important to him taken away and that if he can be the leader he can take all that damage back. This position of power he is so desperate for is to strip Steve of his agency (even after his death) which he believes will help him overcome this pain. Cal also believes that the darkness of those who hurt him is who he is and not the reflection of what happened to him and the adults who let him down. He has lost himself in this darkness.
In the season three finale Cal has reached a bottom. Eddie is going to reveal the secrets of Steve and the movement, exposing the abuse done to Cal in the process. Cal cannot see a future past this point and spends the episode planning a suicide attempt. He leaves the mother of his child two letters, buys a gun and goes to the hidden cave with painted flowers which he knows no one else knows about except him and Sarah. After finding the letters, Mary calls Sarah and begs her to help find Cal and she explains his plan. Sarah rushes to the cave to find Cal with a pistol preparing to take his own life. It is dark at this point and they are completely alone. Up until this point Sarah and Cal hadn’t been interacting much. In season one their childhood relationship is rekindled and in season two Sarah becomes co guardian of the light with Cal, leading the cult together because Cal had dug a huge hole for himself. To lead alone he probably wouldn’t survive but with Sarah she would be able to conceal his crimes (he kills someone, oops) and keep up the facade that Cal and her were “chosen”. As they continue to lead Sarah discovers more and more of Cal’s secrets, she comes to despise him. They also end up sleeping together and getting together during season two which doesn’t last very long because Sarah discovers that Cal had an unhealthy relationship with Mary and that she was pregnant. (I can not tell you how worried I was that Sarah was going to get pregnant) all this to say that Sarah is very important to Cal. They both really loved each other and their relationship had fallen apart. Sarah starts to leave the movement during season three so her and Cal never get a chance to reconnect till this point. Sarah talks Cal down very slowly and reassures him that the darkness put inside of him is not who he is, that he isn’t what those people did to him. He believes that putting it to an end will make it go away but she tells him it won’t. He starts to cry saying he wants to be over it already and he hugs him. He drops the gun and goes back with Sarah. The impact of this trauma has left Cal directionless and his only option is to stay with the cult. He sees it as home and wants it to change for the better and be apart of that change. He joins Eddie and Sarah as they continue the cult at the end of the episode. The show doesn’t get a fourth season but they wrapped up Cal’s storyline enough to give him a new starting point.
Cal’s original motivation for leading the movement is that he is the son of Steve and that Steve had promised him that he would lead in his absence. Cal takes this a step further in season two to try and strip Steve of his influence and placing the importance on who comes after Steve. Not only does Cal want to take away Steve’s influence and power to give it to himself, but he wants to prove that he is the rightful Son of Steve. His whole childhood he had been taken away from his alcoholic parents so the only father he knew was Steve. Steve even alludes to thinking of Cal as his son. When Eddie confronts Cal to tell him he’s the chosen son he is broken about it. He knew that he had lied about being chosen but it must have stung to have it confirmed that your abuser and the god you believe in chose someone else rather than you after you had been subjected to abuse, which he believes makes him worthy of being leader.
Cal has a confusing number of love interests and partners throughout the three seasons but the one who is most significant is Mary. She is the first one to approach him in a sexual manner and he consistently goes back to her. She disclosed to him that she was abused by her father as a child and that she is vulnerable and damaged. Cal not only can relate to that but takes advantage of that. Knowing that she has an interest in him and that he has power over her, he continues the relationship with her to extremes in secret. Cal and Mary’s relationship isn’t really abusive. He definitely has a position of power over her as he is her CULT LEADER but he never hurts her and restricts himself with her every time they are together. This early on shows how Cal has a victim mentality to sex and relationships. He struggles to be intimate or let others touch him and usually is acting on sexual impulses. The relationship between Cal and Mary has heavy marriage symbolism in season one and two, Cal encourages Mary to form a relationship with another cult member she met early on. Cal become jealous of Mary’s affection towards him so he jealously sends him away. After Mary angrily confronts Cal about him sending her bf away she realizes his feeling for her, he goes to get her bf back. When he’s brought back him and Mary have some struggles but Cal encourages them to move forward together and get married. On the night of Mary’s wedding she goes to Cal again. This is the first time they actually have sex. She goes through with her marriage to her bf and then discovers she’s pregnant. Right off the bat in season two it’s hinted to that the baby is Cal’s and after being abandoned in the woods by her bf Mary gives birth. The cult finds her outside of the compound with a newborn in which it is revealed that it is Cal’s baby. Then they begin having a real relationship for awhile. They start living together and raising their son but still never get married to each other. Cal never commits fully to Mary but takes on the role of father with a great amount of pride. During season three Mary and Cal have a scene together that I think shows how much Cal actually cares about her and in someway himself too. Mary gets a urge to make Cal “feel good” and Cal stops her to ask her how she would want to be touched. She’s thrown off by him asking the question so he asks again in a clearer way and they have a gentle scene together. Whenever they had sex it wasn’t violent or abusive. It was usually passionate and gentle. In the end Mary has much more control over Cal than she has over him because he is always putting himself down and Mary is just learning to build herself up. It’s an interesting progression and in the end Mary is better off. She becomes independent of Cal and the cult at the end of season three giving her a hopeful future. The lyrics “Two-headed boy, she is all you could need. She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires.” Reminded me of their relationship as Mary is the one person Cal comes to love and connect with most deeply throughout the series, she gives him his son and helps him connect with the trauma he had forgotten. Also in the first episode of season two which hints to Mary carrying Cal’s baby, he eats a tomato from the garden on the roof which I find funny.
Two-Headed boy Pt. 2 has imagery that reflects some of Cal’s story and matches the story of his life. Him coming into the knowledge of his abuse and his son, him finally connecting with people who love him and those he cares for. The lyrics “Love to be with a brother of mine” reminds me of his relationship with Eddie. How they are both orphans brought into the cult, just at different times, and how they were treated so differently. Cal being able to reconnect with Eddie in season three was really heartwarming. He isn’t really trying to be brotherly with Eddie but it happens naturally that he doesn’t notice it. He trusts Eddie and even helps him which is so different to the way Cal was with him in season one in which he’s trying to gain control over Eddie and steal his wife. Also “Brother we are one in the same” which highlights cal and Eddie’s reflective relationship.
In season one Cal and Eddie return from Peru at the same time and their conflict starts almost immediately. Cal has a relationship with Eddie’s wife Sarah because they grew up together, Cal and Sarah’s first interaction in e1s1 is him subtly flirting with her. Sarah had chosen Eddie over Cal and it sets up a competition between them. They are constantly competing for the love of Sarah, Steve and the cult.
In season three while Eddie is running the cult he keeps Cal close by at first only accepting him back on conditions. As the season goes by Cal proves himself worthy and Eddie begins to trust him again. At this time Cal knows abt his trauma and is in the process of initially working through it. When Cal uses the HC (it’s a thing from the show but it’s basically restricting breathing by using ropes) in the painted cave he confronts his trauma with Steve. The tighter and tighter he wraps his belt around his body the more Steve suffers infront of him. Steve at this point is dead and the person who is actually inflicted with the pain is Eddie. He comes to understand Cal’s pain and trauma because he can feel it. He can feel all the trauma as Cal restricts himself and understands what had happened to him. This connection between them is linked by Steve. Steve had chosen Eddie as the son and they became connected by the lightning that strikes them and Eddie clearly has some psychic abilities when he was having visions of the future so it really isn’t a far fetched idea. When Eddie comes to Cal to let him know that he now knows what happened Cal is shocked that he figured it out but he also accepts that he was the one who told him. Eddie had already been treating Cal differently at this point but after this they are more brotherly than ever. They work together, give each other advice and Cal even supports Eddie as a leader, he sees him as family. When Mary leaves Cal for defending Steve on tv, Cal tells her that he wants to stay in Meyerism because it’s the only home he’s even know and now he feels that he wants to stay and be connected to the people he loves. He doesn’t want to lead it or take it away from Eddie, he just wants to continue to help it grow. He wants to have his family.
These parts of his story reflect the song A LOT. Cal’s journey from broken boy to evil leader to broken man is all there in the show to see and the song felt so similar to the person Cal gets to be at the end of the show. By the finale he is stronger than he had ever been, he has a family and people who love him and want to protect him. He has gained so much of what he deserved as a child and now gets to raise his own son better than he was. It’s a very beautiful story. Even though Cal pissed me off A LOT it was a really beautiful story to watch unfold. I really had no idea his character would become so complex and complicated but the execution of it was amazing. His story was handled with care and thought which left room for him to grow and evolve from this arrogant liar to a trusted friend. There are even more details that I could connect to the song but they are all kinda obvious if you watch the show. Jeff’s writing style has always been spiritual and religious which is simple enough to connect it to this show but Two-headed boy pt. 2 really speaks to Cal as a character and his journey through childhood trauma and self acceptance.

prompt: cal, adam, and will were triplets
canon-typical content warnings for The Path
to be fair this isn't really a prompt so much as a fully formed idea in my head.
will, adam, and cal were all brenda's children (bear with me) but they were taken away from her because the father thought she was a bad mother (like in canon in The Path)
the father joins Meyerism, can't afford to support the children himself. goes to steve meyer for guidance.
steve, who i am taking many liberties with here because i barely know the guy, comes up with a divinely inspired reason that "the three boys must be separated as a test of faith. one to be raised by a poor man, one to be raised by a rich man, and one to be raised by us, and taught the way of our movement. and when they are grown, we will see which of them is prepared for the garden" or, look, some bullshit like that.
so will is raised by a boat mechanic, and adam is raised by his father, and cal is raised by steve. and none of them know about each other.
brenda probably tries to tell cal the truth on her deathbed but we all know how well that worked out (for those who don't - cal refused to see her, and therefore missed the message that she's sorry for letting him be abused by steve meyer for years. and sarah, who was supposed to pass the message along, chose to exclude that part because she believed brenda was lying.)
and steve dies too, before he has the chance to say final words to Cal, i guess.
SO. no one knows. until Hannibal fucking Lecter sees Cal Roberts on the news and is like. "mmm, let's put a pin in this whole season 2 arc and the tension and the lying, because Will, holy shit, you have a doppleganger and this is way more interesting than whatever the fuck we were supposed to be dancing around right now"
AND WILL WATCHES THE CLIP. of cal roberts arguing with professor neill. (aka cal defending meyerism on live television, despite the fact that he's currently in the midst of recovering his suppressed memories about meyerism's founder Steve sexually abusing him for a decade of his childhood)
Will watches the clip and he can tell, immediately, that Cal Roberts is a fucking mess. A basket case. Suffering and lying and paying lip service to something he's afraid that he still believes in despite everything.
Will watches this clip, with all his empathy sensors activated, and Will says, "Absolutely the fuck not. nope. not opening that can of worms."
hannibal tries to reason with him, because hannibal is completely flummoxed that Will doesn't want to drop everything and go with Hannibal to meet his long lost twin.
But Will says no. Because his life is already fucked enough and he doesn't want to open this door. He can't accept it. This isn't his kind of crazy.
anyway, Will lasts for about 48 hours before caving because he feels Cal Roberts' anguish in his chest and he can't sleep. what else is new.
anyway so hannigram go on a road trip, abandoning S2B entirely
and blah blah blah, confronting Cal, getting into the cult, tracking down steve's journals and doing detective work together. they find out about Adam.
and then, i don't know. codependent brotherly love endgame. save cal from himself, save will because he's always at his best when he's concerned with the welfare of others. and will gets to see hannibal in action as a selfless psychiatrist for once instead of the manipulative bastard he's always been around Will
and i think hannibal would be really really good with cal and adam, that's all
if he wanted to be (which in this case i think he does? because he likes seeing will around them, giving will a family in a new and unconventional way.) (edited)
and uhhh. it doesn't hurt that hannibal is like "oh, there's three of you now? :3c"

Playing For Keeps (Cal/Tonny) - Shortfic
Explicit // M/M, Multi // Cal Roberts (The Path)/Tonny (Pusher I & II) // Tags: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alpha/Alpha, Alpha Cal, Alpha Tonny, dad Tonny (canon), starting over, closeted character, mind games, time skips, previous parent death/murder, secrets, revelations, Tonny's all grown, masturbation, dirty talk, CW: alcoholism, Cal is an alcoholic, heart to heart, anal sex,   Happy Ending.
Part 7 of the Plaything Series and a direct sequel to Part 4 "Roleplay"
Tonny takes his baby and runs away to start life over with the Meyerist movement.
Playing For Keeps (5k words):
It had been months since Tonny had been with an alpha.
Alphas plural, actually, and just that once. It had awoken something in him that they surely realised. One of them, Adam, had pretended to be an omega and Tonny had tried so hard at first to cling to that as a rationalisation of what he was doing. Of what he was feeling.
But as he fucked, and was fucked, by an alpha it became harder to deny the truth.
The desire he’d felt all his life. And now he had realised it, he fucking wanted it. He wanted it so bad. All of it.
Sex, a relationship. He even wanted someone who he could raise his kid with since that stupid fucking mistake had left him with the only good thing he had going for him.
But how the fuck did he do that? He had no idea where to start. And what would happen if he did? He hadn’t exactly been in a great line of work back in Copenhagen, not a good group of people. He shuddered, not even wanting to think what they might have done to him if they’d found out he liked alphas. What his dad would…
Tonny didn’t let the thoughts take hold. That was all behind him at least.
He had started looking into ways to escape since he became a dad. He was raised into this fucking life and would be damned if he did that to his own kid. Now he’d moved them across the world to the US, but he needed something more. Greater protection, a community that they could disappear into.
And that’s when he’d seen the flyers for Meyerism, for their community and church.
They needed to be safe, so he went from one closetted life to another. The Meyerists seemed like good people, but he wasn’t going to rock the boat. As much as he wanted to finally be free to explore his sexuality, now was not the time. Now was the time to think of his kid.
