All-Father!Kratos headcanons because im obsessed.
* kratos attempts to be everywhere at once, constantly trying to broker peace independently. he feels as if he's doing a terrible job at being a mediator for fair discussion when in reality he's trying his best.
* kratos travels around the nine realms DAILY. it's to the point he has a home or a place of rest in each place.
* he once passed out from exhaustion because he's not used to talking to that many people, considering it's been YEARS since he was a spartan general leading thousands. thrúd had to drag him to his bed because she's the only one strong enough to even move him.
* tyr gifted kratos the bifröst eyes after seeing how much effort he's putting into healing the realms. he knew kratos from his youthful days of anger, but seeing him grow? it warranted something more meaningful. kratos accepted the gift. tyr also did the process of inserting the eyes. kratos had to get hammered.
* kratos is a caring parent to huginn and muninn. he cares a great deal about his animals and makes sure they're all fed. he hopes his example spreads to others (COUGH, RAIDERS)
* kratos does have a primary home. it's located in the realm between realms (not sindri's house) - it has a bedroom, kitchen and study but the real kicker is that there's a mini interpretation of the yggdrasil tree in a seperate room, in which there are doors to the each of the nine realms. kratos uses his new bifröst eyes to travel with these rooms.
* kratos has a golden shoulder guard that he slots mimir in during diplomatic meetings. its removed when kratos knows he is going to battle and is primarily used for special occasions.
* like most kind gods, kratos tries to read every prayer and see every offering addressed to him. he attempts to make such prayer come true via blessing, but he isn't used to turing the tides to favour when it comes to peace. he does try, however.
* kratos with glasses? more likely than you think.
* when atreus returns, he sees the progress his father has made and can't help but shed a tear.
* speaking of atreus, kratos always has a room for atreus in his multiple makeshift homes. he misses his little boy :-(

TRAGEDY VIA ODIN
Father!Kratos x GN!Reader, Little brother!Atreus x GN!Reader
Warnings: Angst, AU, Death, SPOILERS FOR GOD OF WAR: RAGNAROK AND GOD OF WAR (2018)
Summary: A rant from you at Týr ends in tragedy.
Notes: In this AU, Odin ends up killing you instead of Brok.
----------------------------------------------
"He does hate surprises..."
"...Hold on," you said, as you walked in front of Týr, "I wanna hear about this way into Asgard you know." Throughout your groups entire journey, Týr had apparently had a way into Asgard he neglected to share until now, which ate at your mind like Brok did to Fuckin' Gratitude.
"Well?" "It's an ancient path. We can't reach it from here," responded the norse God of War, as he turned to walk away from you. However, you were still unsatisfied. "If not here, then where?" Tyr turned back to you and said, "Let me collect my things, and I'll show you." "You don't have anything," you perceptively pointed out, before continuing.
"And by the way, that mask. Give it here," you angrily said, before you took the wooden mask from his hand and throwing it onto the nearby table. "You didn't earn that mask. My brother did." Atreus quickly moved to separate you two, and told you, "Y/N, it's OK..." but you angrily responded, "No, it's not, Atreus! This isn't right. The pieces aren't connecting. Like- Hey, what's with you calling him "Loki"? You know his name!"
Týr slowly turned away from you. Your rage reached it's peak as you gently pushed your brother aside and stormed up to Týr to continue your rant.
"Hey, Týr! Answer me!"
Before you could react, a magical knife pierced your chest.
"DO YOU NEVER SHUT UP?"
You fell to the ground as the truth unveiled to the others, as Týr's form devolved to reveal Odin. Atreus was quick to rush to your side, as Kratos and the others rushed to confront the All-Father. "Of ALL the things-" "Odin! If my son/daughter/child dies..."
Your focus quickly turned from the confrontation to your younger brother, who was desperately trying to heal the wound, or close it, or do anything. Flashes of your time with your brother came to your mind, from when you first held Atreus, to when you and your father both helped him hunt a deer just after your mother passed, and most of all, of your team up in your final battle against Baldur. As the tears fell from your eyes, you couldn't help but smile at how far he'd come.
"Y/N, please, hol-hold on...Maybe if we go back to the Lake of So-Souls, we can-"
"No," you groaned out to Atreus, holding his cheek. "Wh-why are you smiling," he asked in tears. You let out a slight chuckle, and responded, "...Because of you...Look how far you've come...I'm so...proud. And mom...would be, too..." As you smiled, you ended up coughing up blood.
"No, no!...Father..." By now, everyone was near you, with Atreus and Kratos right by your side. "Y/N...son/daughter/child...I-" "Shh..." was your response to your father, as he held you. "Father...thank you...for helping me and...and Atreus...survive..." You could feel your strength to even breathe slip by the second, but Kratos kept his hold on you tight. "Y/N, you must hold on. For us. For-" You help Kratos' cheek, your eyes practically waterfalls now.
"It's OK...You...you can let go..." you said as you moved one hand down to your father's, and another to your brother's.
"I'm...I'm going to see mom now..."
And with that, you let out one last exhale, and slipped away.
"No! Wake up, Y/N! Wake up," screamed Atreus, as he shook your body.
"Wake up!"
"WAKE UP!"
"WAKE UP!"
"Wake up, Y/N..."
"...Mom?"
THE END.
