Drabble promp for OC of my Darkling’s Son Adryk Prompt: An act of Merzost that goes wrong for both
How could he have pushed him this far? Or perhaps it was not him alone, although he seemed to be the greatest influence over his son. A summoner of light born into a dark realm, a consequence of true love. He had been surprised to see the light and not a shadow summoner like himself, but Adryk had only seen disappointment hidden in his features. He was an outcast in the Dark Realm, not trusted by his own sister, not able to control the dark like his mother and unable to wield shadows like his Father. He chased those with light to their disapproval, their warnings of not trusting those with light but that only made him feel as if his own family hadn’t trusted him either. He was different, an heir to the Darkling with nothing to show for it. How badly he wanted to be like his Father only to discover again and again that he never would be. He had grown sick of it. He had learned through stories that his Father was capable of changing fate, of doing the impossible through the use of a strange magic. One that he had always forbid him to learn or speak about. Upon a wave of fury and desperation he raided his father’s study, tossed books and items aside until he came across the forbidden books of his uncle that had taught him everything. It was all true, the strange magic did exist and it had a name. Merzost. He knew nothing of the magic but if anyone could fix him his father could. With the book clutched in hand he storms across the palace ground until he comes across his father near the forest. He throws the journal at his feet, watching as his Father’s dark eyes fall upon it. “Do it.” He demands. “Take the light from me!” Aleksander furrows his brow at the book then looks up at his son, he was surprised by the sudden plea and the journal. Though perhaps he shouldn’t be surprised. He sighs and lifts the book into his hand. “It’s too dangerous..” He begins, only stopped by Adryk snapping the book from his fingers and tossing it aside. “Yet its not too dangerous when you want something. Was it too dangerous when you stole Hades powers? Or those of others who have crossed you here?! Take them!” His hands ball into fists as tears well in his eyes. “I want to be like you, I want to be the heir you wanted.” He pauses for a moment to glance away. “Or I don’t want to be at all.” He whispers softly. Aleksander freezes as his eyes fall upon his son, seeing his desperation only reminded him of his own actions in the past. The risks he would take when he too was desperate. It hurt him to know he had helped to push him to this point. “Adryk it’s not like that. You are the son that I want, no matter what.” Adryk was quick to clasp his hands, gazing up at him with plea in his eyes. “This is what I want. And if you truly want to prove you care about me then just give me the one thing I want. I just want to be like you.” He finishes in a hushed voice. “My own sister doesn’t even like m-.” “Adryk.” His voice was stern as it cut him off. “I don’t want to hurt you and your sister is just a lot of talk.” He eases Adryks hands from his own with a sigh but the boy was adamant. Adryk shakes with frustration as he lifts the journal, brandishing it to him. “I know of this now and if you don’t do it then I will.” His voice was filled with hesitation, fear even but he was like his father more than he thought. For he would stop at nothing if he wanted something bad enough. The Darkling knew this and the fear of his son using Merzost left him with little choice. “Put that down.” He says softly as he steps towards Adryk. “If it’s what you want…I’ll do it.” It would be better for him to perform it than his son. Better to drain his own reserves then risk harm befalling him. “You want to be like me..” He guides him deeper into the forest. “You already are.” He pauses near a vine with large black thorns, kneeling to pluck a couple free. Adryk had touches of Shadow, been able to slightly manipulate it. Perhaps he could make that stronger. He had sealed the power of others in these thorns already with little problem, perhaps it would not be so difficult to make his son happy. “I’ll do this, only if you swear never to enact Merzost yourself. Adryk, promise me.” His voice was full of demand but he answers with a firm nod. “I promise.” “Then come..” He waits for Adryk to come near and pricks the tip of thorn into his skin, he hisses but upon his fathers instruction he holds it there. Aleks knew Fiona would kill him for this, but he also knew that she just wanted their son to be happy. The incantations begin to blur in the Darkling’s head, the dark veins forming across his skin as the magic begins to take from him. With a cry he shoves the other thorn into his own arm, blood spilling across his skin and the grounds at their feet as he reaches across to firmly grasp the one in his sons arm. The wind stirs around them in a furious roar as light pours forth from the cut in his arm, flooding out into the air around them. If felt as if his very soul was leaving him in that moment. The Darkling continues to incite and shadows emerge from the thorn in his arm, winding through the air and connecting to the other. The Darkness begins to fill the void where the light once was, faster and faster the pull stronger and more vicious. He would have let go but he found his hand stuck as the powers roared between them in a painful draw and pull. To take in that much power at once was disorienting, even painful for Adryk as he bares his teeth against the burn of the pain. It all happened too fast, Merzost had a mind of his own. Ears deafened by the roar of power in the winds that surrounded them, the Darkling’s senses began to dim. Heart racing as the magic pulled from him and just before fainting he collapses to the ground the same moment that his son does. All falls into silence and stillness around them, both thorns shattered into pieces. If they had not collected anything then what… The Darkling looks down as the black lines begin to fade from his skin, an arm bracing himself against the ground as he kneels. Merzost always weakened him but he felt much weaker than before. Adryk seemed to be completely unconscious as he crawls quickly over him. “Adryk.” He says, concern in his voice as he reaches to shake his shoulder. A familiar feeling floods him, an ache as he feels the power under his own sons skin. His power. With a gasp he quickly lets him go, falling back as he glances to his own fingers, his own fears realized. He tries to call the shadows, tries to summon the darkness but there is no answer. Everything he ever was, was no longer there and all that power of ages past had slipped inside his son. That all consuming power and shadow. How would it affect him to have so much? He wouldn’t know until he woke up and greater yet. How would it affect himself to have so little? Fear consumes his dark eyes as he tries to summon once more, feel a touch of any power. Light dances across his fingertips, but only briefly before it fizzles out completely. With a cry of frustration he slams his hand upon the ground, finger clawing into the earth as the weakness of being drained overtakes him. The only way to heal from it gone as he collapses into exhaustion beside his son.

A/N: Wait! Don’t scroll away disappointed. Let me explain why this is not a Tom fic. So rewind a couple of years back. Before I fell head over heels for this British Spidey actor, I didn’t have any particular crush. Just a void. I admit, I fancied Chris Evans. Everyone does right? That was until Age of Ultron was released. Boy oh boy! In a matter of minutes into the movie, I developed this insane crush on Aaron Taylor Johnson playing Quicksilver. I’d seen Kick-Ass before that, but ATJ never struck me like this before.
But as quickly as that crush grew and blossomed, Pietro (and ATJ) were ripped from out midst. Leaving behind this gap where I felt a growing sense of the Maximoff’s were done wrong. With poor Wanda and her story development in WandaVision. I knew they could do better. Especially my beloved Pietro.
Why end it like that…? So I felt like I had to right the wrong. I wanted to for a long time. I adore ATJ, his person and his work. And seeing him announced as Kraven fills with me utmost joy. But that means we probably won’t see Pietro ever again. It’s a loss, but a otherwise great development for ATJ. Good for him!
So, with me needing a little break from writing Tom, I took my ideas to the paper. And I could once again start daydreaming about my ATJ. 🤤
And this is the result. It’s massive. Close to 19k in words. And filled to the brim with banter, growing love interests, conflicting agenda’s and a bit of extra depth for Pietro. It may not me accurate. But I’m damn proud of it. It’s a labor of love. And I hope you enjoy it.
If you don’t, or are disappointed in me, I promise you, the next one is with Tom. But I can’t guarantee this is the last Pietro fic though
Take care!

The machine roared to life, shaking and shuddering as it began spewing the hot beverage into your mug, a slow but steady stream. Drowning out all other nearby sounds. A slow draft of steam clouded before you. Or was it smoke? You chuckle to yourself, wondering how such a high-tech compound like the Avengers has such old inefficient machines. With your folders and tablet under your arm, you pick up the mug and head for the hallway. A busy discussion was brewing in the lounge. A mix of Avengers, Guardians, Gods, and mutants alike. One voice overshadowing the other even louder. But even though the noise you hear out your name, calling you.

Tomorrow is a hope... never a promise.
Reader/Son x Clark Kent & Lois Lane
Request - I wanted to ask if it was possible for you to write a AU of sorts. A crossover between Scarlet Witch and Superman & Lois. Where Clark and Lois have a third son and turns out that he's he's krypton's Scarlet Witch/Warlock. MC is younger than the twins.
Lois and Clark are in the kitchen talking alone. They see you playing catch with your brothers outside.
“Do you think any of them will get powers?” Lois asked.
“Maybe… I’m not sure. They don't show any signs and nothing strange has happened for now” Clark said.
“They are too young. I just want them to have a normal childhood” Lois said.
“I understand. Let's not worry about that for now” Clark said.
They see you are playing rough with your brothers. It was Jon's idea to play football in the backyard. You wanted to show off and prove that you are strong enough to play rough. Jon threw the ball at Jordan but you caught the ball, then you and Jon started to wrestle for the ball. Lois and Clark left the kitchen and went to stop you and your brothers playing rough.
“Boys enough” Clark yelled.
He grabbed the football then you and your brothers, then you started to breathe hard.
“We were playing,” Jordan said.
“We told you three many times not to play rough,” Lois said.
“It’s football. I'm strong they can't beat me” You said.
You start to flex your biceps and your brothers roll their eyes.
“Y/N, you can't play rough every time you play football,” Lois said.
“I’m not a baby,” You whined.
You hate it when they treat you like a baby, you want to prove to them that you're not a baby.
“Go inside the house all of you,” Clark said.
“Not fair. I was having fun” You said frustrated.
You kicked the football so hard that you broke the kitchen window. Jordan and Jon gasped and you didn't expect to break the window.
“In the house now!” Lois yelled.
“Sorry,” You said.
You and everyone else go inside the house. Your father made you clean up the mess while he watched over you. He starts to give you the speech and you really don't want to listen to the speech but you don't say anything.
In the family, you're the youngest, and your parents are more protective of you. You always try to prove that you are not a baby and don't need protection. Clark and Lois love their boys but you are a bit wild because you like to explore.

Jordan and Jon want pizza for dinner. They asked their parents but they said no, then Jordan got an idea.
“Y/N, go ask mom and dad for pizza for dinner,” Jordan said.
“You and Jon already asked and they said no,” You said.
He puts his arm around your shoulders.
“They will say yes to you because you are the rainbow child,” Jordan said.
“Don’t call me that” You said.
“It’s true, Y/N. You know mom had miscarriages before she had you. Go ask for pizza” Jon said.
“Okay, but they will say no,” You said.
They follow you downstairs, but they are in the hallway listening. You are in the living room, while Lois and Clark are sitting down on the couch.
“Mom, dad can we have pizza for dinner?” You asked
“Okay, sure. I will order the pizza, Y/N do you want to come with me?” Clark said.
“Yeah,” You said.
Jordan and Jon are happy that they will eat pizza for dinner. You leave the house with your dad and get in the truck, he lets you pick the radio station. He listens to you talk about your favorite band.
After buying pizza and before going home, he stopped the truck.
“Why we stopped?” You asked.
“I’m going to show you how to drive” Clark smiled.
“That is cool!” You smiled big.
You and your dad switched seats. You are feeling so excited that your cheeks are hurting from smiling. He starts to tell you what to do and you follow his instructions. You are starting to drive the truck slowly
“You are doing great, Y/N,” Clark said.
“Wow, this is fun” You giggled.
You go a little fast and he tells you how to stop the car and go again. Then he made you change seats now he is driving home, and you tell him how fun it was to drive.
Tal-Rho sent his army to attack the town. Everyone is starting to panic and trying to get out of town. Clark went to fight Tal-Rho somewhere. Your mom made you and your brothers get ready to head to the army base in town. You and your family head to the truck but Tal-Rho’s army arrives.
“Stay away from us,” Lois said.
“Mom,” You said.
You are feeling scared and they are feeling scared also.
“Stay away from us!” You yelled.
You run towards the person to punch them, but they push you hard towards the ground. You want to prove that you are strong but the person was going to attack Jon but Jon stepped in and got hurt, the enemy used heat vision to hurt your brother. Jon fell to the ground and he was bleeding fast you ran towards him.
“Jon!” You cried out.
You touch his stomach and you see the blood on your hand. Your heart is racing faster and you start to cry.
“Jon, I’m sorry! I-I didn't want you to get hurt. I'm sorry!” You cried out.
Lois and everyone noticed a magic aura surrounding your body.
“Mom, what is going on?” Jordan asked.
“What are you doing to him!?” Lois yelled at them.
“We are not doing that to him,” He said.
Your eyes changed colors then you yelled, then a powerful magic blast and you hit the enemies. They passed out and your magic from your hands went to your brother’s body and he is starting to get healed. Jon looks at you then the magic disappears. Lois helped you and Jon stand up then she hugged you and your brother.
“What just happened?” Jordan asked.
“We will figure that out later, now we have to go,” Lois said.
Your mom took you and your brothers to the army base in town. Your brothers are looking at you strangely and they start to ask questions, but you don't know how to answer them.
Clark arrived at the base with the suit on. You and your brothers don't know yet that your father is Superman. Everyone knows that you are a huge fan of Superman. You have some posters and action figures in your bedroom. You run towards him and you are smiling
“I’m a big fan” You smiled.
“Oh… um thanks for being a fan” Clark smiled.
“I can't believe I'm really meeting you” You happily said.
“Superman we need to talk,” Sam said.
He followed your grandfather to a private area and Lois is there. They start to talk about what is going on.
“What do you mean, Y/N has powers?” Clark asked.
“Not the same powers as you. It seemed powers like John Constantine, would have but his powers actually appeared all over his body. Jon was hurt but he saved him” Lois said.
“How did he even get magic?” Clark asked.
“I have no idea, I thought you would know. Go change, the boys need you right now” Lois said.
“It will be okay,” Clark said.
Clark hugged his wife and kissed her on the lips. Clark tells Sam, what Tal-Rho wants to do. They talked for a while then Clark changed clothes then went to see you and your brothers. You start to tell him what happened and Clark asks questions about the powers, but you don't know what to say. Then Clark went to talk with Jon and he hugged his son tightly.
——-
You are lying in your bed and your dad walked in. He sits on the edge of the bed and before he can say a word, you said something first.
“Are you and mom going to send me away?” You asked.
“What makes you think that we would send you away?” Clark asked.
You sit up and you struggle to say something at first, but he waits for you to say something.
“Because I have powers and it's my fault that Jon got hurt,” You said in a low voice.
“Y/N, we love you and we will never send you away. You are our son and we will never abandon you. And it's not your fault that Jon got hurt. He doesn't blame you, Y/N. This is new to us and we will get through this together” Clark smiled.
“Thanks, dad” You said.
Your dad hugged you tight and you believe what he said to you.
“Go to sleep, it's late,” Clark said.
“I’m not tired,” You said.
“Nice, try. Y/N, go to sleep it's written on your face that you are tired” Clark said
“Goodnight,” You said.
“Goodnight, Y/N,” Clark said.
You lie down and you watch your dad turn off the light and leave. You close your eyes and you start to fall asleep.
Clark just told you and your brothers that he is Superman. He picked up a truck, Jon and Jordan were in shock but not you.
“Y/N, you don't seem impressed,” Lois said.
“I saw dad, use his powers before and I saw his suit in the closet. The glasses are not a good disguise” You said.
“How come you didn't say anything?” Jordan asked.
“You and Jon wouldn't believe me. One time, I saw dad use his ice breath to put out the fire in the barn. I don't want to wear my underwear on the outside, no offense dad” You said.
“Y/N, I’m not asking you to wear your underwear on the outside. So that means, I have magic and I have the same powers as you?” You said.
“So, cool I have the same powers like dad” Jon grinned.
“Do I have powers?” Jordan asked
“We don't know yet,” Lois said.
“Sorry, I’m late I had to deal with something in hell,” John Constantine said.
He appeared through a magic portal. Clark introduced John to you and your brothers. Then John lights his cigarette and he stares at you.
“Why is he here?” You asked.
“He has magic and he will people with it. We don't know anything about magic and we thought that he could help you” Clark said.
“He is old and smells bad,” You said.
“Y/N, don't say that. That is rude” Lois said.
Your brothers couldn't help to laugh.
“And you still wet the bed,” John said.
“Whatever, old man,” You said.
“You two be nice. And try not to go hard on my son” Clark said.
“I can't promise anything. Let's get started” John said
Your family watches John use his magic. You try to use your magic but nothing is coming out of your hands. But he laughed then he hit you with your magic and you fell to the ground.
“John! I told you not to be hard on my son!” Clark yelled.
John used his magic to stop your parents from interfering.
“I know what I'm doing!” John yelled.
“Don’t hurt them!” You yelled.
You are walking forward towards him. Then a powerful magic arua starts to come out of your hands. Then everyone witnessed a dark magic book appear in front of you. It turned to the page on what magic to use
“How did you make that book come to you?” John asked.
You read the magic words and used the magic to hurt John. But he was quick to block your magic with his magic. You tried again but he blocked it again. Then he stopped and he tried to get the book but the book moved closer to you.
“Boy, you do have any idea what book you have!?” John said very loud.
“No. It's my first time seeing it” You said.
“That book is called Darkhold and it's connected to you. Study that book from start to end. contained spells, formulas, and information on how to create machines to harness energy from other dimensions, Study the book” John said.
“Wow, that is a lot,” You said.
You hold the book and you won't let him read it. John explained what kind of magic you have to your parents. Lois isn't happy about you having chaos magic and she doesn't want you to have magic. But she won't stop loving you and Clark will feel the same way. Later, John teaches you how to summon your magic and how to control it.
———-
You haven't been studying the Darkhold magic book. You are playing catch with your brothers in the barn. You and Jon are trying to help Jordan activate his powers. Jordan tried to pick the tractor but he couldn't do it.
“I guess i don't have super strength,” Jordan said
“Try throwing the football far?” You said.
“I can try,” Jordan said.
Jon laughed because he knew that Jordan couldn't throw the football.
“I can throw a football,” Jordan said
“Yeah, right. But go ahead and you will miss” Jon laughed.
You throw the football at your brother but with force. He didn't catch the ball and the ball went through the wall.
“Mom and dad are going to ground you forever,” Jon said.
“Why you didn't catch the ball!?” You yelled.
“You didn't throw it straight!” Jordan yelled.
You tried to use your magic to fix the hole, but you opened a portal for a few seconds but it closed.
“What was that!?” Jon yelled
“I don't know, I’m still figuring out my powers,” You said.
Again you used your magic and you fixed the hole. You are smiling about it because you won't get in trouble. But you started to play with your brothers again, they kept throwing the ball at each other so you wouldn't catch it. But you used your magic to catch the ball and you are happy about it.
“That’s cheating,” Jon said.
“You are just slow” You teased
They started to chase you and you started to run fast. Lois and Clark are outside talking and you run toward them, but Jon uses his speed to catch up to you. He tried to get the ball but you won't let go, then Clark and Lois made him let go. He got in trouble but not you and they made you and your brothers go back inside the house.

One Too Many
The Darkling: “Now… you know sacrifice.”
Alina: “Beyond anything you’ve ever known.”
Are you fucking kidding me? You’re telling that to a guy, who survived centuries of slaughter of his people, often loved ones, and still kept going, trying to protect next generation and the one after that… after you merely finished your already dying childhood sweetheart?!
No, she has no fucking clue, what sacrifice is. Self entitled brat!
Look, I love Jessie, but the face says it all…
Alina: “And look what it did.”
The Darkling: “Indeed. Look what it did.”
Aleksander sounds almost mournful.
Alina: “Mal and I changed the world. We tore down your Shadow Fold.”
The Darkling: “You have my sympathies for what comes next, when you realize that what you’ve done solves nothing. The world doesn’t need a Saint to protect it. It needs a monster.”
She won’t. She showed zero self-reflection so far, I’m pretty sure she’ll continue being her short-sighted, self-involved SELF. Except now more privileged as a Living Saint and Queen…
The Darkling: “And while I remain… Let me be your monster.”
Alina: “You think that after everything, I’d still stand by you?”
No! She’s constantly hurting you, why you keep coming back for more?!
And when exactly did Alina stand by Aleksander? In the middle of previous season, before she ran off with no explanation?!
The Darkling: “There is no light without darkness. Without me, you have no counter, no balance. Let me carry the hatred of this world.”
Alina: “Hatred. Because of the choices you made.”
I’m getting tired of repeating myself, but how is Grisha opression a result of the Darkling’s choices? Did he hurt someone before he was born? Is he a god?!
Plus it’s incredibly hilarious Alina “Half-Shu poor little thing, pity me for all the racism ~I~ have to face” Starkov now believes automatic hatred against you is something you cause yourself. But then again, she was planning a trip to Shu Han few episodes earlier, so the centuries-long distrust between those nations probably magically disappeared too… How incompetent writer do you need to be, if you can’t even keep track of your own themes?!
The Darkling: “Choices you too will make… in time.”
Alina: “I will never walk your path.”
No, she lacks empathy already. I doubt few decades of losing her friends will make her a better person.
The Darkling: “I know you believe that now. But soon… Soon you will have no equal. The years spent alone will grind you down, they will harden you. And who will be there to shield you from it? Who will be there to save you?”
Alina: “I will save myself.”
I know this is supposed to be another Girlboss™ moment, but he isn’t really saying “Hide behind me, I’ll protect you!”, he’s saying “What will you do, when you’re alone and friendless, who will support you, share your difficulties? Who will remind you to stay human?”.
The Darkling: “Without me, know they will come for you.”
Alina: “Let them come.”
This totally doesn’t sound like Oh-So-Merciful Sankta’s gonna be burning people alive in few years. Nope.
