modern got au in which asha is a "teen parent"
or more accurately, asha and theon have a much larger age gap, 10/15-ish years, type of age gap (she's at least 18/19 and theon's only like 4/5), and in a series of freak events, their lives are turned on its head.
their brothers were dead. their mother and father were ruled incompetent, the former left a shell of herself after the loss of her sons, no longer able to care for her remaining children, the latter was never a father to begin with and he didn't seem to have any wish to become one now.
she was an adult by law, meaning she was free from the hell that was the system. her kid brother - the one who smiled at her for seemingly no reason, the one who crawled into her bed when thunder rattled the house, the brother who held her hand on their rare family outings - was not.
she couldn't leave him there, even if she wanted to, even if it would make her life so much easier. she wouldn't abandon him like the rest of their shitty family. he was blood for fucks sake, she'd die before she let's him get taken away from her and given away to strangers to be used and exploited or treated like a shelter puppy to be pitied and fawned over.
cue asha fighting for custody of her baby brother, doing whatever it takes to be deemed a suitable guardian, and the two of them taking on the world together.
more thoughts:
they have to find an apartment cause they can't afford to keep their family home. moving into the cheapest place they can find with only the stuff they can fit in asha's truck, sharing an air matress and eating off of a coffee table while watching movies they rented from the library.
asha cleaning her brother up before his first day at his new school, trying to get him to look suitable, but not really knowing what suitable means for a kid going into kindergarten/first grade
theon comforting his sister when she gets overwhelmed with it all, doing his best to ease her tears. the night ending with them both curled around each other, just two scared little kids trying their best.
asha fighting anyone she has to to keep custody of theon, whether it be the social worker, the judge, people who called cps to report her. she doesn't care, no one will take away her baby brother.
asha taking theon to work with her (she works in a boat shop cause she already knows what she's doing) and having to keep him entertained while she works so they don't get sent home.
their first christmas/birthdays by themselves. theon putting together gifts at school (finger paintings or paper mache or something of the like) and asha cherishing it forever. asha spending all the money left to her name each time to get him something nice so eh can feel like a normal kid.
theon doing sports in school (little league or something) and asha making sure she goes to every damn game, being the loudest in the stands.
asha getting more and more used to being physically affectionate with her brother at time goes on. before everything she'd tense up when he'd hug her legs or hold her hand, but now she scoops him up like a rag doll, ruffles his hair, kisses his forehead, without a second thought.
{I'm so normal about them I swear}

I'm glad I wain't the only one who noticed how easily Jonny boy hefted that crate full of a lotta dirt and a full grown man. That's gotta be a two-person job at least.
I suppose it could be an adrenaline rush from anger or rage, but I dunno, he ain't exactly been acting Totally Human lately.
Adrenaline goes far, and I know Mina was trying to paint it as ~miraculous~, but yeah, no, I spy with my little eye something supernatural. Especially when, even with the heroic task at hand, our good friend Jonathan was clearly playing a game of Blasphemy Chicken with the Almighty ever since the hell of October 3rd and the Wafer burning Mina. Plus, too much eerie unexplainable shit has been going on with Jonathan to write it off as a mere heat of the moment fluke and/or Godly intervention at the finish line.
...Although I would find it kind of funny if only because it means Stoker implied this was happening:
Jonathan, aloud: God help us!
Jonathan, internally, ready to go Bloodthirsty Dark Side in 0.00001 seconds if Mina can't be de-vampired: Or Else.
God, apparently deciding to wrap up this 400+ year-long vampire show right now this second or risk Jonathan Harker pulling a Faustus: Right, yes, absolutely, go team, please don't add vampirism to the shit you have going on right now

Uhhhhh
"wah wah wah stop talking about the largest massacre of Jews since the literal holocaust"
yeah, the Israeli government's response has been horrible. yes, millions of people are suffering and thousands are dead because of their actions. no one's telling you to stop talking about that, so why do you think it's okay to tell us the same thing?
