i get shipping carol and valkyrie, and i am all for them being a friends with benefits type.

but honestly, my heart is still with carol and maria, because of all the missed time and memories.

how all carol wanted was to be with maria and monica, but couldn’t because her work was never finished. and she felt so much shame for how everything she does makes things worse.

and she thought monica wanted her to be a perfect superhero, but all monica wanted was her other mom back home.

the only time carol was able to return was the time maria learned she had cancer but lost monica.

i am just full of feelings for this little family done bad by lost time, bad timing, and lost memories.

I get that they have to get rid of old guard marvel characters because the actors are like moving on with their careers and shit but how come the men get to go home to their families, have happy endings, and the women have to die for shock value or to move the plot along?

Tony: Fine. I will behave.

"I'd die for you, if you need me to. If I had the option."

"Relax. I don't need you to. It's okay."

"I'd live for you, if you need me to. If I had the option."

"Relax, I don't need you to. It's okay."

a superhero ??? i'm a PROVIDER. i'm a BRICK in this HOME FOUNDATION. i am what she sees in the morning and who puts her to sleep AT NIGHT!!!!

i've pointed this out in several other spaces but i need to talk about it here too

do you know what is the most exciting, interesting, love confirming thing about this moment? it's that carol's not just sifting through photos trying to piece her life together - in this particular moment she moves the group photo out of the way just slightly. just enough to get a better look at maria and nothing else

her entire life has been torn from her and she's not even interested in herself in this moment. it's maria she wants to see, maria she's interested in, maria she gets a good look at and then (right after this moment) is shown smiling about

carol wants maria even in the smallest ways :')

Maria stood at her kitchen window; salt and pepper brows slightly furrowed as she overlooked the slightly overgrown grass.

“Need to get Paul over here to cut my damn grass.” She thought to herself as she waited for the water for her pour over to boil.

Maria had never really cared about the appearance of the yard. That was Carol's domain. She religiously cut the grass every Saturday morning, pulled every stray dandelion, and refreshed the garden with colorful annuals with each season.

Well, at least she used to. It had been a while since she'd dared to even step outside.

Maria sighed and made her way over to the kitchen table, where before, they'd share mornings over toast and eggs, hers scrambled with cheese, Carol's sunny side up.

But it had been 3 months since their last breakfast, which culminated in Carol having a meltdown because she couldn't understand why her egg was runny, even though she'd never taken them any other way.

The doctors had warned her that Carol's condition would worsen, and quickly, but Maria had no idea how rapid the decline would be.

Carol had always been a little clumsy, a bit forgetful, and even more prone to bouts of anger. But when she lost her 4th set of keys and blew open Maria's backdoor for the 2nd time when she couldn't remember where the spare was, Maria knew something was wrong.

Carol never got sick. 

In their nearly three decades of living together, not once had Carol even seen a doctor. She barely even seemed to be aging, still looking like the 30 year old airman who disappeared and then crashed back into her life and her heart.

It took Fury and Monica to convince Carol to agree to be evaluated by the physicians at S.W.O.R.D. and even then, she denied anything was wrong with her for the days before and after the evaluation.

"Extraplanetary Neurocognitive Degenerative Disorder" also known as E.N.D.D. or "Space Dementia'' was the final diagnosis after several days of blood work, imaging, and assessments.

They explained that Carol's earlier brain manipulation compounded with numerous interdimensional travels, copious exposures to cosmic radiation, and prolonged periods of isolation had resulted in her brain neurons essentially burning out. She would have periods when she appeared completely normal as the Kree DNA in her blood attempted to heal the broken connections. But those days would reduce in number over time.

Maria was familiar with dementia, as her grandmother had died from Alzheimer's when she was a teenager. But E.N.D.D. was different. Carol was different. How do you explain to a 60-something year old superhero, who physically looked and felt like a young woman, that their brain was essentially deteriorating?

There probably wasn't any good way too, and the disclosure of her condition resulted in Carol going AWOL for an entire week before she made her way back to the bayou bungalow with her only excuse being she "missed a turn."

There were no treatments and definitely no cures for E.N.D.D., but Maria was advised to provide Carol with support and lots of reassurance to help slow the progression and ease the transition. This of course meant no further space exploration, thus leaving Carol grounded both figuratively in her mind, and literally earthbound.

In the months since, the good days with moments of clarity and ease grew scarce, while episodes of confusion and frustration intensified. Carol found herself grappling more often with the simplest of tasks or details, her mind betraying her at every turn. Even mundane stimuli began to overwhelm her, adding to the burden of her deteriorating cognition.

Interactions with the outside world became fleeting and fragmented, with Carol retreating into herself more and more with each passing day. Small bouts of connection offered brief glimpses of the woman she once was, but they were quickly swallowed by the overwhelming darkness that consumed her.

So when Carol strolled into the kitchen just as Maria poured her freshly brewed mug of coffee, freshly showered and with a large smile, Maria felt she was seeing a ghost. A reminder of the woman she'd fallen in love with so long ago.

"Morning my love." Carol chirped as she sauntered over to her usual chair, pushing damp blonde hairs back on her forehead.

"Good Morning. Would you like some coffee or tea?"

"Yes, I’ll take a cup of joe, thank you."

Maria fought the urge to question not only Carol’s presence but her pleasant disposition and this request. Carol seldom drank coffee. In fact, she could barely think of a time since their officer training where Carol had asked for the drink over her routine allotment of fresh tea. 

Yet, she knew that any questioning could possibly send her love into a spiral, so she walked over the counter, grabbing Carol’s favorite cat mug and pouring a steaming serving of coffee.

“How do you want it?” She asked, walking over to the fridge. “We have some coconut cream, oat milk, Monica’s almond joy creamer, and I think some condensed milk in the pantry.” 

Maria’s mind was spinning. She so desperately wanted this moment of normalcy to continue, but she could not remember how Carol took her coffee. Was she the one with memory issues? Something so simple was about to derail a well-needed good day. 

“Come on Rambeau, you already know. I take it black like you my love.”

Maria couldn't help but chuckle at Carol's playful response. This flirtatious reassurance from Carol was like a warm embrace, grounding her in the familiarity of their love and connection, something she’d missed for a while. 

"Carol Danvers, are you being fresh with me this morning?"

"Depends, is it working?" 

A small part of Maria still felt on edge. What did this mean? How long would it last? Why did she feel guilty? 

Almost as if right on cue, she felt familiar arms wrap around her waist, Carol’s warmth a gentle stopgap to her mental queries.  Maria leaned back into the embrace, closing her eyes as she savored the moment of comfort and security. In Carol's arms, she found temporary reprieve from the doubts and uncertainties that so frequently clouded her mind.

Even if Maria had been primarily a caregiver to Carol for the last year, she was still her wife. She allowed herself to enjoy their connection, setting her worries and allowing herself to be fully present with the woman she loved.

As Maria leaned back into the embrace, she couldn't help but notice a hint of confusion flicker across Carol's face. Maria gently brushed her fingers against Carol's cheek, offering a silent reassurance that everything was alright.

With a soft sigh, Carol nestled her head against Maria's shoulder, their embrace speaking volumes of the love and understanding they shared. Together, they lingered in the quiet comfort of the morning, savoring each moment as if time itself stood still.

Suddenly, a familiar chime pierced the tranquil atmosphere, causing Carol to startle. "What was that?" she asked, her voice laced with a tinge of alarm.

Maria chuckled softly. "Just an Amazon notification, probably a delivery update or something. Nothing to worry about."

Carol nodded, but Maria could see the lingering tension in her eyes. She reached out, gently cupping Carol's face in her hands. "Hey, it's okay. We're safe here, together."

For a moment, Carol hesitated, her gaze searching Maria's face for reassurance. Then, with a soft smile, she leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to Maria's lips.

In that fleeting moment, amidst the tangled web of their worries and uncertainties, Maria found solace in the enduring strength of their love. And as they gazed into each other's eyes, a silent vow passed between them - to weather whatever challenges lay ahead, hand in hand, heart to heart.

"Fill up my cup You ask me how I like it baby My love You already know I take it black like you"

Inspiration:

A/N: I've read a few other stories that capture Carol's memory lost as due to other conditions and this idea came to me. We only have a small glimpse of an older Maria and Carol in The Marvels and just wanted to give an alternative to what was offered. I don't think there's any multiverse, AU, or dimension where their loved is not challenged but I also refuse to believe that there isn't any multiverse, AU, or dimension where their love doesn't conquer all.

Also, this is dedicated to all the caregivers to those with cognitive issues (development or acquired). You all are fucking rockstars!

Also, someone on A03 suggested hearing from Monica's POV. Whatchall think?
