SHIPPING INFO:// Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog

REPOST. DON'T REBLOG

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?:

I don't like "One ✨ True ✨ Pairing" when it comes to rp. This isn't Highlander. I do love and enjoy all the connections I've made with writing.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?:

Romantic, Sensual, Friendship, Familial, Platonic, Enemies.

It depends on the muses, what the other mun is looking for, and the chemistry which develops over time. Soulmates and deep romance are welcome as well as the complicated toxic. Regret flavored co-parenting 'what are you in my life?' If "it" happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it's all good too.

If a muse is a love interest from canon (listen, there's like 5 of them plus Frenchie in the entire history), I'm happy to pre-establish, it just takes a talk to make sure we're on the same page. For Layla, I'm exclusive with @lalamoon.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?:

Age gaps are fine. The System is going to be 40 per my calendar this year but I sort of go between mid-30s to early 40s in my head. If a muse over a decade younger than the System, I'll probably be more selective than when they're closer in age.

Are you selective when shipping?:

I like shipping. We gotta talk about it first.

The System has a lot of baggage (what character doesn't). They're not everyone's type. Marc will never stop being Moon Kn.ight. He can be convinced to take breaks but whenever he promises he'll stop, he always gets back to work. He's got terrible coping mechanisms and struggles which make him difficult to be in a relationship with. Which, if you want to explore that up and down, that's cool.

You don't have to ship someone with the entire System. Usually, if someone only wants Marc, Steven and Jake aren't really interested in that person anyway. And there's still interesting dynamics one can write with Steven and Jake without making it romantic or sensual.

Though they don't come up often (thus far), Soldier only really has heart eyes for Reese and Badr is (headcanoned) aroace.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?:

When clothes start coming off. I fade to black or bump it to Disco (if we're close in that way). This is not out of any sense of shame. I like my emails job.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?:

@brooklynislandgirl @cordeliabarton @echoestm @gottahunt @kylo-wrecked @lalamoon @lt-ghxst @prettytm @positivelybeastly @voicestm @wardogsong @writteninscarlet

"It was in the past but we're raising a child" @marlenexalraune and @midnightxmission

Feeling out something @biitchcakes and @webxfshame

Familial @tjhmnd

Rip everyone's notifications o7

Does one have to ask to ship with you?:

I mean, yes.

How often do you like to ship?:

???

Are you multiship?:

Yes. Everyone has their own separate verse and can also cross into AUs. That being said, in main 616 and 'modern/no superheroes' verses, the history between the system and Marlene does impact the present time.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?:

I like various flavors of writing. It's never Just About the Ship.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?:

Marla / Moon Kn.ight System/Layla

Finally, how does one ship with you?:

Talking, writing, talking….

MK – :Layla and Marc: Procreate on iPad Pro

Ahhh, one more of the many Moon Knight pics I did following the completion of the series, and put on the back-burner because I wasn’t 100% happy with it. I wanted to do one of Layla with each of the alters, and this is the first one I doodled up. It’s not my best work at ALL (I don’t like Layla’s face in it) but I love this couple so much. I am looking forward to seeing more of them in the MCU proper, as long as they keep Layla as Marc’s rock to help him out. I really want her to be the one who shoots down ANY one who tries to shit on Marc LOL.

Anyway, just an OTP pic of Marc and Layla. Drawing is FAR from my best, but I did this for my own enjoyment, because I love drawing these two so much. I love Moon Knight so much. I love Layla and I love the Moon System. It’s been so long since I really enjoyed Marvel again.

Hope you guys like it anyway, or at least appreciate it. <3

Moon's Scarab → Ch. 1: Welcome to Egypt, again.

Marc Spector x Layla El-Faouly.

pre-canon fic; based on the Marvel comics and Disney's series Moon Knight.

warning: violence, cursing, angst, smut maybe in the future (?), the majority of spoken Arabic in this story is in Egyptian dialect.

word count: 1.9k

beta-read by the awesome: @kesskirata

series masterlist | next chapter

° Author's note:

okay, it's been a very very very long time since the last time I fangirl-ed over a canon and straight couple. Fuck, Marc and Layla are my favourite OTP now; despite the shit they've been through, their couple dynamics are just freaking awesome, they got me screaming in the last episode, and had me in bi panic. Just fucking amazing, I just adore power couples. And now we have the Scarlet Scarab in throughout the process... Chef kiss to Marvel. So, I figured that, especially with the criminal lack of fics for this amazing ship, I decided to do something and write a long fic about them; how they've met and got married. Yep, as it's said up there, this is gonna be a pre-canon fic.

And remember, feedbacks, likes, and reblogs are always appreciated!

Enjoy~

Marc Spector

The image of a fuchsia scarf with scarab details spurts into Marc's head as a female flight hostess instructs the passengers to tighten their belts, for they're about to land in Cairo International Airport. It hasn't actually left his mind, really; it hunts him almost every night ever since that night in the Egyptian desert close to the borders with Sudan, depriving him from sleep.

Marc feels nauseous, the urge to vomit is becoming stronger and stronger, lurching and tugging at his stomach as the plane descends within the air. It's very much unlike him, he never had this before. He notices his grips tightening on the armrests of the chair; his jaws tick.

Fuck, he almost hisses, but the vile word reverberates only through his head. He can't allow past memories to freak him out, and lose control now. He can't afford to. Khonshu's current mission, which has led him right back to Egypt, is critical; the country isn't at its best times.

After the military upheaval of Abdelfattah Elsisi, the previous defence minister, against Muhammad Morsi and overthrowing him, a great majority of people weren't pleased with the result. So, multiple protests have emerged, again. The people are enraged and pissed, for Morsi is the first elected president of Egypt since the royal family has been dethroned. However, Elsisi is a military man, and solving problems with peaceful negotiation isn't on the table.

And now, almost two years after the coup, Elsisi is the country's president despite the people's grouse; riots are rising, and the situation is unhinged, or Ala kaff ifreet [On a Jinny's palm] as the locals say. On one hand, Marc thinks, it may be in favour, he can easily carry on his god's wishes without much trouble, since the country is already in chaos, he can deal with and use it to his advantage, all he needs to do is to keep himself in check, and bury his emotions inside his consciousness, he's pretty good at that after all. He can do it — he must.

Marc flinches a bit as the plane sinks harder, and he sneers. Yep, definitely gonna hold it. He snickers.

“Heya awwal marrah as'ab marrah,” [The first time is the hardest one.]

Marc's head turns around, his adjacent traveller looking at him with concern. A kid girl, an elementary school student, fifth grade maybe. She has a dark and curly hair, her tan skin is revealed by the sleeveless top she wears.

She extends her hand to him, smiling so innocently, a window between her teeth is apparent, ready to cradle the permanent ones. “Feek temsek edy law awez,” [You can hold my hand if you want.]

Marc nods and swallows, surprising even himself when finds his hand reach out to hers. His large hand engulfs her tiny one, and oddly enough, he finds something sedating about the whole act.

“Sh-shukran,” [Thanks.] He tries to smile, but his lips curl into a grimace instead, the girl giggles.

“Enta mush masri?” [You're not Egyptian?]

Marc shakes his head, “No.”

The girl's smile widens, “No?”

“Ana amriki.” [I'm American]

“Oh! Amriki wo betetkallam arabi? Helow awy!” [American and you speak Arabic? So cool!]

The girl laughs in zealousness, “My name's Shahd, and you're...?”

“Marc,”

“Ammo Marc,” Shahd says, “Enta jay ala Masr leh?” [Why did you come to Egypt?]

Ammo? Marc raises an eyebrow, does he look that old to have a young kid calling him uncle? He's only freaking twenty nine; he scowls a bit.

“Uhhh...” Marc regards the young girl's face, discombobulated.

Of course, he'd not tell an eleven years-old why he's really here, and most certainly, he can't tell anyone, obviously. But looking at her grinning face unsettles him more than he already is. Wait, maybe she's one of those young spies who are trained to ensnare people who are like he's used to be. He's encountered many of them before, when he was still a soldier then a CIA agent, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and many other places, child recruits who work for certain groups and systems. Fuck, he even told her his real name.

Way to go, Spector, way to go...

“To see the pyramids?” She asks him, still giving him that toothless grin.

Damn, why is he so tense and suspicious? She's just a kid, a fucking kid, he can deal with her, he can deal with much worse.

Marc nods, flexing his brows, “Oh, yeah, to see the pyramids,”

“Ya'ni enta tourist?” [Means you're a tourist?]

“Exactly,” He hisses unintentionally when the plane dips down and the landing gear meets the ground. Shahd squeezes his hand for assurance, still smiling at him.

Marc gazes at their clasped hands, hers is so small compared to his, so soft and delicate compared to his calloused and rough one. He closes his eyes for a moment, seeing a blurry image of Randall's hand clutching into his desperately as he tries to push himself up to save himself from drowning, he sees his little brother crying and begging for help, panicked and scared to death, his only hope in his big brother to save them both, which he terribly failed at.

Marc yanks his hand from Shahd's. They look at eachother awkwardly for a moment, Shahd's blinking and Marc's swallowing hard. He throws a quick scan around before asking, “Howa feen babaki wo mamtek?” [Where are your parents?] He clears his throat and adds, “Akeed mush betsafri lewahdek, mush kida?” [Surely you don't travel alone, right?] He tries to grin playfully at her.

Shahd giggles, “Akeed la ya ammo Marc!” [Of course no, uncle Marc!] Then she points at the chair two lines in front of them to the left. Marc traces her finger to see a man watching them both, a proud smile on his face.

“Da babaya!” [That's Daddy!] She exclaims, “Baba bus! Ammo Marc amriki wo beyetkallam arabi zayina!” [Look, daddy! Uncle Marc's American and speaks Arabic like us!]

Marc tries to smile cordially, his qualms rising again in his chest, “She's lovely,”

“Thank you, sir,” The man smiles back, something truly genuine haloes his presence. Marc feels a bit more relieved.

The plane's movement hauls to a stop, then another stewardess' voice echoes through, in Arabic then English, politely informing the passengers of the safe landing they just had, then she courteously instructs them to keep calm and to not jostle among eachother, then wishes them a happy trip.

Marc loosens his belt then waits for several minutes before he moves and grabs his bags from the cabin baggage. He then puts his cap on his head, and takes a gum into his mouth and starts chewing on it. And before he walks down the aisles, a small hand tugs on his shirt.

“Nice to meet you, Ammo Marc,” Shahd extends her hand with confidence.

Marc smiles, “Nice to meet ya, kid,” He shakes her hand. She giggles and Marc's smile softens more. He offers her a gum which she delightfully accepts.

When he sees her father he nods at him in acknowledgement. Shahd's dad smiles back as he says in Arabian-accented English “Enjoy your stay in Masr, sir!”

Marc is already past him, he scoffs at himself, “Yeah, sure I will.”

•••

“Yeah, I'm in, Frenchie,” Marc's head rests against his right shoulder, while holding the phone in between, and unpacking his stuff. He sighs, grabbing the phone with his hand now, “Told ya I need a man to watch from afar, and can't trust anyone but you, Frenchie,”

It's a conversation he and his friend have had before. His co-worker and right hand, Jean-Paul Duchamp, has insisted to come along and help Marc in Egypt by being at the latter's side.

“Oui, oui, you did make it clear, Marc,” Duchamp's French accent answers from the other side of the line, “But let me remind you, shall I sense anything off, I'd certainly come for the rescue,”

Marc chuckles, “Yeah, counting on that actually,”

Duchamp guffaws, “You rascal,” Marc can see a very clear picture of his friend twirling his mustache playfully. “Anyway, sent you the info you might need on this case, if you want anything else, just gimme a call, d'accord?”

“Yeah, sure,” Marc scratches his eyebrow with his thumbnail, “Anything else?”

Duchamp clears his throat before he adds, “Well, actually yes, Marc,” He stops for a moment, “You're surely aware that, after the huge amount of investigation we've had, this is most likely has a link to what happened that day, aren't you?”

Marc tries to sound unaffected, unfazed, “Your point?”

“Are you ready to face it again, Marc?” Duchamp's usual sarcastic tone disappears as he asks, “Are you ready to—”

Marc cuts him off, “What happened that day remains in the past, Frenchie,”

“We have yet to locate him as you know,”

Marc cards a hand through his hand indignantly, “Doesn't matter,”

“You sure? Last time you underestimated him, he made a hole in your stomach and left you to die in the desert.”

“Yes,” Marc snaps, exasperated, “But I came back alive, didn't I?”

“Oui, somehow,”

“Then there's no need to worry, Frenchie,”

After they bid eachother goodbyes, Marc starts to set up his computer supplies, wires and devices have soon covered the entire room. From a year onwards, Marc has been careful when it comes to use Khonshu's armour, he doesn't summon it until the situation grows critical and too serious, he can handle many situations depending only on his skills and talents, obtained from years of experience, as a warrior against evildoers and sinners. He couldn't risk drawing the attention of the intelligence and the chance of being arrested; an international fugitive, uses superpowers and act as a vigilante. He either would be dragged to acquiesce to the bullshit they name "Sokovia Accords" or they're going to throw his ass in prison if he refuses to submit to it, which he certainly will do, like they did to many Avengers members.

Moon Knight doesn't work like that, he doesn't submit to anyone's wishes but his god, which in this case is Khonshu. The world is indeed going into deeper shit, with the Avengers split, and two of them are off of the world, crime has been increasing around the globe. That's when Moon Knight must act, maybe that what motivates him to keep doing this even though he hates it. It's his way to atone for his misdeeds.

“You know I will protect you with everything I have; you are worth protecting.”

Marc closes his eyes, trying not to startle, whipping his head to face his master. He nods silently, craning his head up to gaze at the deity, the one who saved his life two years ago. He still remembers every bit of it, every moment of it. Marc still feels the cold steel of his gun pressing against his chin ready to end his misery underneath the god's statue, still feels his blood life gushing out of his stomach, streaming and smearing the white sand he crawled upon, still hears his choked apologies for the people who'd met their demise because of his actions.

“You shall face your fears, Marc Spector,” He remarks, “And by my name you shall crush them underneath your feet and by that, you're going to protect the travellers of the night.”

I was tagged by @badwolfbadwolf in one of those get to know you memes, and then tag 9 people I'd like to know better.

Three ships: oh lord, asking me, a multi-shipper, to limit myself to naming just three ships? I might stretch that a little. Probably the most main current one is Steven Grant/Marc Spector/Layla El-Faouly (or any variation thereof - I'm leery of including Jake at this point because the show only gave us such a brief glimpse of him I don't want to get attached to a fanon version of him). Jonathan Carnahan/Ardeth Bay from The Mummy has got to be one pairing I'd love to see way more fics of these days. And I haven't been reading as much Mandalorian fic lately so I haven't looked but I'm still holding out for someone or several someones to write some Din Djarin/Omera/Cobb Vanth because those two have to be my top two picks for him (though I do love plenty of the other ships for Din).

First ever ship: ok, so, like, are we talking about that I actively daydreamed about and sought out content for? I think it might have been some LotR stuff, but I don't remember a specific pairing. I think ultimately baby hxan's first OTP was Remus Lupin/Sirius Black.

Currently reading: Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

Currently watching: technically at the very moment Thomas and Friends. But uh, as for like, what my husband and I are putting in for our evening entertainment, we are between shows at the moment. I might have to do a poll to help me narrow down choices .

Currently consuming: just had some cruskits with cheese and vegemite

Currently craving: wanting to try the naan my husband just made to go with tonight's curry

Ok, now I'm meant to tag ppl who might feel like doing this? But honestly I don't feel like trying to so, uhh, just do it if you want to and consider yourself tagged.

7 questions: Jake Lockley from Moon Knight/MCU

three facts about them from my personal headcanons

My personal headcanon that Jake is the reason the MK System ran away from home...

He convinced the MK System to run away from home.

He appeared on the day the MK system decided to run away from home.

Given Marc's weeping over Wendy's death : at times he wanted to reach out and try reconciling with her, but Jake stopped him every time. Because only Jake understands that for their own safety, the MK System need to be away from Wendy.

a reason they suck

They got too little screentime.

a reason they are great

He has fun fighting bad guys, in a way Marc and Steve don't.

a reason I relate to them

I speak Spanish.

(what I consider to be) the top tier otp/ot3 for that character

I think Jake/Layla. Much like Steve/Layla and Marc/Layla in the show. Honestly I ship Layla/the entire MK System. Can't have one of them without the other! Which would make them my OT5 XD.

five things that never happened to that character that I believe should have happened

He should've gotten more screen time,

He should specifically appear in a few episodes before the last time, BEFORE Khonshu reveals his name, to add a bit of mystery.

He should be appear in Season 2. If there's a Season 2.

He should've gotten his own Moon Knight suit.

He should've at least appeared in a few reflections.

five people that character never fell in love with and why

Marc (he's like a brother to him and that would be incest)

Steven (same reason as with Marc)

Khonshu (too much of a power imbalance)

Tawaret (same reason as with Khonshu)

Arthur Harrow (their shared history as Moon Knights, and different experiences as Moon Knight, would make it awkward)

BASED ON THIS ASK MEME

#jake lockley #moon knight #mcu #character asks #character ask meme #7 questions #marvel #mcu moon knight

really obscure separate body! marc/steven AUs i may or may not write but i ask the internet for:

postal delivery au: steven delivers all of Marc’s mail and one day Marc has to sign for a package (probably full of illegal shit from Layla lets be real) and Steven’s there with his stupid cute uniform rain coat and uniform hat and marc’s like “oh no he’s cute” and now he’s addicted to online shopping and always selects the “sign for package” option so he and steven can chat at the door (this was entirely because of the latest Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and I'm not sorry)

librarian au: there's no thoughts here i just want Steven in hipster glasses and jackets with elbow patches surrounded by books. this is also what Marc wants. that's it that the extent of my train thank you for joining me on that ride

celebrity son x body guard au: steven is the son of someone famous, and he mostly stays out of the limelight, but his famous parent is doing something big (a new book series? a reunion tour? a new movie? whatever) and people pay more attention to steven so he needs protection: cue sexy ex military cum body guard Marc (and possibly jake if that’s your cup of tea) and the whitney houston sound track and maybe a creepy stalker!

High school au: fuck okay its not obscure but goddamn is your otp even real if you DON’T have a high school au fic?!

isekai au: okay this you can just go bananas, there's so many takes and i want them all! Steven slips and falls in the bathtub into a magical world with dragons, and maybe ends up a magically bound dragon rider to Marc the dragon who has a sexy human form? i want it. marc slips and falls and ends up engaged to Steven the magical prince? i want it. marc slips and falls and ends up the mythical hero in the other world’s lore, destined to defeat the “dark wizard” threatening the kingdom only, oh no the dark wizard is hot and awkward and mostly just lonely? i said i want it. isekai au!

The state of my Moon Knight ships right now

So you have

Marc x Layla (of course) - they'll get back together and their relationship will be stronger than ever (with a lot of work ofc)

Steven x Layla - Marc will give him the green light about it soon-ish after they're back in London.

Jake x Duchamp/Frenchie (still doesn't know how to call him in a way that doesn't sound weird to me ><). - I've already talked about this one but it's Jake's first real relationship and he cares *a lot* about Duchamp.

And then Marc x Steven - Marc is reluctant and finds it weird but Steven's too smitten to care whether it's weird or not.

Steven x Layla x Marc - of course, it'll get there, I'm pretty sure. I'm still not sure how exactly they'll make it work

And then,

There's special ones of

Jake & Layla - which is the aro-ship ? Don't think they'll fall in love, they just have a strong friendship...and great sex

Steven & Frenchie - if Jake&Layla is the aro-ship, then Steven&Frenchie is the ace ship. Steven will probably fall for him in one way or another, but he's not interested in doing anything sexual with him the only man he wants to do it with is Marc. Steven is the 'staightest' of the boys to me. Idk it's fun to have the ''less alpha'' guy as the only one who's really straight(-ish).

And then maybe...

Jake x Matt Murdock - I just...really see it now ? Blame the new Daredevil reactions I found. It'd work really well imo. Same as....

Marc x Matt Murdock - I also really like it. Think it's Matt who's gonna break Marc's 'pretend to be straight' act. Because look at him, this handsome lawyer with his smooth ways, who could resist? No one! Not even Marc!

So they all have three-ish relationships and everyone is shared by two of them? That's kinda what it gave me lol.

Is there too many men in this? Yes, yes there are. Is anyone surprised? No we are not.

Jake has girlfriends but they're not really serious relationships. Maybe he'll have a more serious girlfriend eventually, who will it be ? Idk. Suggestions are open.

Marc & Steven don't want to be with any other woman than Layla. And Steven's relationships with men are two particular cases with their specificities.

Marc's relationship with Matt will be pretty far in the future, and also an unusual, if more traditional, one because let's face it it'd be two trash babies together.

So poly?

Poly.

I have a very hard time not doing poly-ships these days.

Tl;dr Marc/Layla Marc/Steven Marc/Steven/Layla, Jake/Frenchie, Jake&Layla, StevenxFrenchie and Jake/Matt Marc/Matt
