Summary
Purple wants Gold's dad back too. He really does. Gold's dad being back would mean that Gold would stop killing herself and she would eat and sleep without him reminding her too and Gold's dad would smile at them in that tired-but-kind way he always did and ruffle their hair and say he's proud of them, real proud of them, for building the staff and making the plan and trying so hard to save him. Then they could go back home, all three of them, like a family.
(It's really, really not fair.)
or:
in which gold is the grieving worldkiller, and purple is her brother, and neither of them know how to be a family anymore.

A New Answer To The Same Question by antimony_medusa for crystalrainwing
Fandoms: Original Work
06 Dec 2025

Summary
The new hero’s uniform was bright primary colours, one of the vaguely beetle-inspired looks they were spitting out this year with yellow goggles pressed over their eyes and an iridescent blue split cape reminiscent of elytra behind them. Dark skin, homemade pronoun pin stuck to the chest of their uniform, and they had to have had their hair done yesterday, because the bleach and the fade were both pin-perfect. They looked altogether too young and excited to be kitted out in combat gear, and their presence in Erin’s office was interrupting the flow state she had been in with her paperwork.
“Fuck off,” she told the power handler who’d brought the kid in. “Whatever it is, I’m not interested.”
“Foreboding is going to be working with you for the next few weeks, Prescience.” The handler’s expression was bland.
No. She didn’t want this. Not ever, but especially not now.
Or: Prescience is one week away from turning rogue.

Summary
u/McMrChillGuy492 NTA. Why is everyone calling OP an asshole? Of course he's trying to get custody of his younger brother after getting out of foster care and back on his feet. When did that become controversial?
u/BedwarsAlien That's not his brother
u/McMrChillGuy492 What?
u/BedwarsAlien Check his post history. Tommy's not his brother and he's not even in foster care. He's literally just a random kid
u/McMrChillGuy492 What the fuck??????

Summary
What is it they always say when they get stuck in some dank underground place on a wild goose chase after mythical treasures? “The only way out is through”? Maybe that applies to telling your best friends you’ve been in love with them for fifteen years, too.
Riley really, really hates when the only way out is through.
(or, it took the gates family three generations to find the templar treasure. what’s fifteen years of hiding the fact that you’re in love with your best friends, compared to that?)

Summary
“You know,” says Ben, “they might not know you’re with me yet.”
And suddenly Riley understands.
“Oh,” he says. “Oh no. Absolutely not.”
(or, the late-night grocery run alternative to patrick gates having way too many lemons in his house.)
