#anyway. your muses could also be in the cult! and tk could be there to pull his dad out and end up pulling them out too idk idk

[parameddic]

i have built a mini au in my head where after 9/11 owen keeps drinking, gets invited by a poker buddy to some interstate event, accidentally joins a cult (but like, a good cult full of good people. they've got some radical opinions but owen's sure he can talk them down from it, and the base beliefs are good, he'll Fix Them), and he is radicalised and never comes back. and TK grows up without his dad, and there's all the ups and downs and drug addiction and fighting to feel loved and he scares and scares his mother (he loves her so much) and he Gets Through after a couple of overdoses and multiple tries at rehab and maybe even finds paramedicine (I think he could), living in NYC with his mum, and he - one day - goes to find his dad because That's His Dad and he's at least gotta ask if he wants to come home. he at least needs to see him and tell him that he's still wanted.

idk. i have almost a drabble about this actually. is this as fun and interesting an idea to y'all as it is to me

#verse information #i'll put it in that tag so i don't lose it but idk what to DO with the verse. but if there's any! interest! in the verse! #i could write it up properly #anyway. your muses could also be in the cult! and tk could be there to pull his dad out and end up pulling them out too idk idk #i don't think - for the record - i don't think owen actually WOULD leave just because tk asked but i do think #tk arriving to ask him about it could be a catalyst and owen could get himself out. yknow? #i have it all so clearly. it's sharp #tell me which of your muses could be radicalised in a cult #or!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell me who would see tk trying and warn him to stay away from 'those guys' bc they're a cult!!!!! #or tell me who would support him if they knew him in this verse and he came home without his dad but at least he tried!!!!!!!!
