Look okay can we talk about Ethan saying the word yes

Heisenberg holds out his hand, palm up, heart on his sleeve and Ethan says yes

Can you imagine a Heisenberg that is genuinely eager to work with someone, an outsider, an equal, in order to take down the the woman that made him what he is???

Can you imagine the relief? He'd feel? At having someone actually On His Side for the first time in this life??? That has to be something Big for him, right? Someone going "yes, I will help you" and actually Meaning It

Sure he goes through all the stages of grief before he actually believes a single word Ethan says to him, or maybe his intent all along was to use and betray Ethan as an asset and nothing else, but eventually, after a good few life or death moments with the megamycete stuff, he has that moment

You know the moment I'm talking about. The italicised oh. The one where he looks at Ethan, really looks at him over his shoulder, the man laying down covering fire at his back during the revolution they both brought to fruition, and he realises what true companionship can be like. And from that moment on he Craves It. The reliability. The camaraderie. God, is this what Validation and Trust feels like?? Someone caring whether he lives or dies?? I'm telling you the man is SUNK no conniving bastard just wakes up one day and decides 'I'm going to befriend the enemy'. He either had a plan to betray Ethan OR he legitimately wanted help and companionship. And I know which one I'm gonna pick up and run with

Sure they started wanting to actively kill eachother in the beginning, but that just adds to that edge in their relationship both of them have learned to thrive on. Keeps them sharp and distant, that tightrope pulled taut, ready to snap...

Anyway yeah, imagine

“Are you using your safe-word?”

Arthur thought about it. “No.”

Dutch chuckled. “Yeah, he can handle more.”

Broken and Bleeding, But Never Gave Up

by Splat_Dragon

And on Arthur’s bad days, Charles works at whittling a ring - and maybe it’s morbid, but he uses the wood he intended to use to carve Arthur’s gravemarker. Once he would have used it to mark the end of their story, but now he intends to use it to mark the beginning of a new chapter of it and, when he gets the letter that has him trembling, has him smiling from ear to ear and wondering whether he should have their neighbor watch the cabin or sell it altogether while they’re in Colorado, he sets the ring atop the letter on the pillow next to Arthur’s and sets to cooking breakfast as he waits for him to wake.

“You know, I figured out why you’re so quiet,” Arthur mutters, “S’cause you’re busy listenin’ n’ watchin’.”

“… Something like that,” Charles says quietly, a little amused that Arthur sounds put-out by him being observant, “Does that bother you?”

“… You ever hear too much?”

“Of course.”

“From me?”

Charles glances down at him.

Slowly shaking his head.

There’s a beat of silence before Hosea speaks, worry leaking back into his voice, “Just you?”

Arthur tries not to sigh too loudly into the phone as he says “No, I was thinking about asking Charles if he’s busy. Getting some pizzas too, or something, I don’t know.”

“Good, that’s a good idea. Charles is good for you, Arthur. I like him.”

Arthur’s brows furrow and he stands up straighter at this, “Good for me? What’s that mean?”
