I Have Been Rotating Android!Therion And Engineer!Alfyn

I have been rotating Android!Therion and Engineer!Alfyn

I loooove the idea of Alfyn finding this deactivated, beat-up android of a pretty unusual model and bringing them back to his shop in Clearbrook and painstakingly cleaning the leaked battery and replacing broken and waterlogged circuits to the point where he can even activate. Idk the other details (why was Therion turned off? Is this bc of Darius? How long was Therion out?) But. I'm a sucker for a good human/android dynamic

Oh I love the sound of this... if it was Darius then the last thing he would remember would be the betrayal... what if Darius found and restored him first just to use him until, well, he had too much a mind of his own and outlived his usefulness...

Then he's worried that Alfyn might do the same and Alfyn has to build up trust with him while also trying to keep him functional...

*Adds ideas to the fire*

mermaids on the mind.

Alfyn lives in a mer community under the waves, but dreams frequently of exploring the surface world and spends a lot of time either near shore or following ships.

Therion’s betrayal happens at sea (maybe he and Darius are pirates together idk) and he gets thrown overboard into the ocean. Alfyn finds him and saves him from drowning (mermaid kisses allow a person to breath underwater for a time) and he takes him to a shore near a human settlement. Therion wakes up on an unfamiliar beach with vague memories and no clue how he is alive. At that point he starts carving out a new life for himself in town- but between the nightmares of the betrayal and drowning he also keeps dreaming of a handsome man he’s never met before kissing him. He often visits the sea and stares out at the water.

Results: delicious. Tastes like a fudgey brownie.

The recipe:

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 a beaten egg

Splash of vanilla

1/4 cup self rising flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 bag chocolate chips

Baked at 375F for 13 minutes

It is time. For baking crimes.

Divided the dough in half so we can have normal chocolate chip cookies too.

Crimes committed 1/2 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup flour

Ready for baking >:)

oh to find the merman from your dreams trapped in a too-small tank owned by some rich bastard.

I tried to write you some inbox fic but it DIED OTL

The gist of it was that Therion overheard dome dockworkers talking in the tavern abt how some fishermen caught a merman, and then proceeded to describe the one he saw in a dream(?) six years ago after his betrayal. And he thought about how the memories were fuzzy but his face and the desperation of the merman's lips on his were seared into his mind, and how he still spent a lot of time staring at the ocean in spite of everything. He didn't know what he expected, to see the merman, to see Darius with only just enough life left in him to beg for forgiveness, something else, who knows. But he still likes the sea. It's calming, thr sand is nice, he likes watching the hermit crabs scuttling around. Sometimes he swears he sees a flash of green iridescent scales behind the rocks but when he goes to investigate there's nothing there. Anyway the dock worker's friend thinks he's full of shit but Therion can't help himself and goes to investigate. And wouldn't you know it, there in the warehouse where all the fishermen's catches are brought is that same merman from six years ago, unconscious and tangled in fishing net.

Aaaaah this has me rotating ideas (along with the tags you left on my sketches) and just

Time to steal a merman. Rescue mission.

I'm out and about so I can't draw right now but...

Thinking of Alfyn getting sold to some rich person's own private aquarium

And I want Alfyn to be able to manifest legs somehow but escape is still difficult (he would also be naked if he transformed so...)

rotates mermaid Therion thoughts

Therion gets tangled in a fish net and eventually washes up on shore in bad shape- Alfyn finds him and after the initial “oh shit a dead body- OH SHIT HE’S ALIVE... and is part fish???” he brings him home and sticks him in his bathtub to try and nurse him back to health. Therion is about as thrilled about this development as you might expect.

Okay I can't add the video to the original post for some reason but the people have spoken. My korok washing mashing. I have a clip of link in it as well but mobile is a huge bitch so I'll have to add it later
