Khonshu x Gender Neutral Reader🌙
Yay it's done! Tried something new with this one. This somehow turned into 27 pages long headcanons
Also quick warning, I included some gods that weren't in the show, like Anubis, Ra and Set but they don't have big roles in this.
And for those who don't know, Witch is a Gender Neutral word
Wdym the witch and ennead reader are longer than the normal reader? No idea what you're talking about

🌘You probably met Steven first, before he was pulled in all that moon knight Business. However, while you could not see Khonshu yet, he could see you very clearly. At first he didn't think much of you but the more he watched you the more he grew interested in you.
🌘So one night out of the blue, he appeared in front of you. He was expecting screaming but no-
🌘You were calm, even fascinated by the moon god in front of you. Of course that only stroked his ego and he took an immediate liking to you
🌘Steven didn't know you have met Khonshu until you two were hanging out, with Khonshu present and you said hi to him.
🌘Poor man was freaking out because he thought Khonshu would hurt you
🌘He wouldn't
🌘It would take a while but you two grew closer, night by night. With that the elder god was beginning to be confused. He never felt this way for a mere mortal and honestly, it scared him a little
🌘But now to the romance~
🌘Khonshu would be the first to confess, in his own silly way
🌘He first would come to you one night, on a full moon, and say how truly lucky you are to have gained the affection of an elder god. Going on a monologue as to how blessed you were, which was quickly cut short when you said that you also like him
🌘Birb man was so happy
🌘At the begining in the relationship Khonshu would have trouble seeing you as his equal but after a while he would (with great difficulty) swallow his pride and see you as his other, equal half
🌘He is still very new to this so please be patient and if you are you'll get a doting moon god!
🌘Murder bird is so down bad for you.
🌘Khonshu showers you in his love, whenever the moon shines, you feel his loving embrace
🌘Every moring you wake up, he makes you Breakfast
🌘While you can't directly touch him, you can feel a little of his presence. Him holding you close, beak softly nudging your neck.
🌘Khonshu is also extremely protective, the god is aware how fragile humans are, so he would not have you in any moon knight matters
🌘He loves you dearly and could not bare to see you hurt
🌘Khonshu hates it when others flirt with you, he'll throw one of his trantums, effectively scaring them away.
🌘After that he will be a little grumpy, give him a few kisses and long hugs, that will lighten his mood
🌘you are not the only one being doted on tho. Give him kisses, hugs and loving words
🌘He will coo when you tell him how much you love him or give his beak little kisses, like-
🌘"Yes little human, I am great aren't I?"
🌘When he was imprisoned in stone by Ennead, he longed to return to you. Being away from his beloved human pained him greatly. He despratly earned for your loving embrace.
🌘When he and Ammit where freed, he fought his hardest, so that Ammit and Harrow could never harm you.
🌘Once he returned, he immediately took you in his arms.
🌘Khonshu refused to leave you alone for weeks, the time he was away should have been nothing to him but being separated from you was to much for him.
🌘However you two are together once again and he will never leave you again

🌗Working with deities is not uncommon for witches and you thought you'd give it shot as it might help you a lot with your practice.
🌗Khonshu was one deity you were planning on working with
🌗The night you started the Ritual was on a full moon, hoping that would help Khonshu hear you and he did. At first Khonshu was confused, he had not someone reach out to him in a long time and specially not in such a way either
🌗After the Ritual was done, Khonshu decided to answer this little human's prayer, you however did not exspect him to appear directly in front you-
🌗But then again you shouldn't be suprised, in a world with a himbo that carries a thunder hammer, a big green dude and a man that has been in ice for 80 years this is probably the most normal thing that happened in a while
🌗Khonshu would tell you how much of a wise decision you made by chosing him over other moon deities
🌗He would help you with your witchcraft and give you protection under the moons silver glow but in exchange he wants something in return.
🌗Humans have started worshiping the old gods again and he wants a devoted little follower, a priest! Give him praise and offerings-
🌗You just throw bird seeds at his face:/
🌗At least that got him to shut up
🌗He does bonk you with his Staff in return tho
🌗But that bonk shocks him, he can actually touch you! What a interesting little light you are
🌗That's what he calls you, little light
🌗With Khonshu being your patron, you are granted a lot of new powers! Lunar Magic obviously is among them
🌗Khonshu helps you learn control your new powers, he is with you through every step
🌗Your routine is making a little offering to Khonshu and giving him a prayer during the night
🌗He always listens
🌗Romance doesn't spark between you two immediately, at first he only sees you as his priest.
🌗Yet after a while he can't deny that he has gotten rather attached to you
🌗You touch him in a way that he never knew was possible, much lese how addicted he is to it
🌗He is so touch starved :(
🌗The first time you hugged him, he stood five minutes in the same spot, wondering what just happened and why he want's you to do it again so desperately
🌗Whenever you do a ritual and he is present, Khonshu watches you with awe, you truly are something magical
🌗It is on a full moon,where you go about your usual prayer, when you say it with so much love and devotion, does he notice that you are more to him than just a priest
🌗He craves your touch, your attention
🌗Your love
🌗It is when you finish the prayer, he comes to you
🌗At first he doesn't say anything, he just stares at you. Even without any eyes you can figure out how he looks at you with such adoration.
🌗When Khonshu still doesn't move, you step forward and gently take his face in your hands, as he takes yours in his
🌗With the utmost sincerity you give him a heart warming "I love you" and kiss his beak
🌗You two stayed in each other's embrace that night
🌗He makes a constelation after you, once you two are done
🌗Khonshu would sometimes hug you from behind and coo at you
🌗He would be so jealous if you also worked with other deities
🌗"You have me already! You don't need any lesser god."
🌗Would 100% sabotage their alters
🌗You take him to the side and tell him that, while yes you work with other gods, he is your love. The other gods could not even dream to compare
🌗Khonshu would let you work with other gods then in peace after that
🌗Not without bragging as to how you are his lover to the other gods, whenever you communicate with them
🌗It is only natural that you would meet his Moon Knight
🌗They were shocked when they found out Khonshu had a partner.
🌗Marc "Blink twice if you are being held hostage"
🌗However, Khonshu did not want you involved in any of his "Justice". Fearing you'd get hurt
🌗But that wish quickly died when a sun Cult has targeted you :/
🌗When they took you in the middle of the night, Khonshu screeched for Marc and Steven to save you. Only to find you, having already beaten the cult.
🌗Khonshu has blessed you with powerful lunar magic and you used that to your advantge.
🌗Khonshu came rushing to you and Held you. Screeching in terror if you got hurt. Carrying you back home, refusing to let you down.
🌗He doesn't leave your side for month
🌗Because of the whole thing you kind of, accidentally, became a part of the Moon Khight thing
🌗He blames Steven
🌗One day, you met a strange blond man with a cane. For some reason he felt... off. Before he could do anything you quickly made an excuse so you could leave. As you started to walk away, the man said how eager he and Ammit were to properly meet you one day
🌗Leaving you confused because you never even met the man?????
🌗You told Khonshu about it he stood still for two minutes and then suddenly screeched bloody murder.
🌗When he and Marc go to Egypt, you begged him to take you with him
🌗Birb Man quickly shut you down.
🌗You went anyway without them knowing and when he found out, his soul left his body
🌗There is no turning back now, but no fighting for you!
🌗That's final.
🌗...
🌗You stabbed a man in a fight you suddenly appeard in
🌗Khonshu screeched in horror
🌗You also got to meet Layla :D
🌗When Khonshu was held on trial by other gods because he manipulated the sky, you were seething with rage
🌗You bit Osiris
🌗When Khonshu got imprisioned, your powers were greatly weakend, to the point where they were non existent.
🌗You, Marc, Steven and Layla then go on a little adventure
🌗Marc and Steven get shot
🌗You and Layla were hunting Harrow until a magical Hippo spoke out of a dead guy??
🌗She told you that Harrow was to powerful and that you needed to free Khonshu.
🌗You booked it to your birb boyfriend
🌗When Harrow came and killed the other avartars, you didn't feel all that bad-
🌗But the moment you freed Khonshu he immediatly embraced you, so hard.
🌗Being kept apart from you was the most painful thing for him, even if it wasn't all that long. Yet a single day without you, was an eternity for him
🌗In short he's clingly
🌗When Mommy Ammit is freed, you want to help fight her and Harrow.
🌗Khonshu denies you of this tho, he just got you back, he won't risk losing you
🌗Seeing Khonshu get beaten up by Ammit breaks your heart
🌗You blast magic in her eye, giving Khonshu a little advantge
🌗When the fight with Harrow comes, you blast his face with lunar magic
🌗Hard
🌗Probably broke his nose
🌗You help Marc and Layla with sealing Ammit in Harrow
🌗When all is done you are tempted to kill Harrow yourself
🌗Once you go home, you force Khonshu to stay in bed with you, cuddling the entire day and night.
Ennead!Reader
🌕Revered by many mortals and even gods, you were truly divine being but none held you in higher regard than Khonshu
🌕To him, you were the stars to his night sky. The glimmering water under his pale light
🌕He was a simp in short
🌕You two were often worshiped together, mostly because the two of you were close with one another
🌕You and Khonshu haven't been together until after Osiris' death and Set's defeat
🌕He realized how he could not bear the thought you suffering the same fate as Osiris
🌕How you being gone was too painful
🌕Khonshu would rather tear down the night sky than to let you be taken away
🌕Under the brilliant stars and shining moon, he asked for your love.
🌕That fateful night, a new union between two gods was made
🌕Khonshu made many constelations after you, like paintings to immortalize you divinity in the skies but he said that no matter how bright the constelation, it would never compare to your true beauty
🌕The Birb, however would get jealous sometimes of other gods having your attention
🌕He talked smack about Anubis after you two were busy with the afterlife
🌕Anubis bonked him
🌕That humbled him real quickly
🌕He keeps you away from Set and when he comes to close, Khonshu screeches at him
🌕Some nights you would lay together, tracing your his body with your fingers while he held you close
🌕The moon's light was always brightest when you were with him
🌕The Relationship between Khonshu and his father Ammon Ra was complicated. Ra didn't have anything against you, he is rather fond of you. But any attemps of mending their relationship has failed
🌕So you tried to keep those two away from each other in general, even chosing avatars that would stop the fighting between their vessels.
🌕It didn't always work but you saved a lot of lives like that (o_o)b
🌕You cared deeply about the mortals, which only made it hurt more when they abandonded you
🌕With the other Ennead going back the Celestial Heliopolis, ready to leave humanity, you were tempted you leave yourself
🌕Khonshu however chose not to
🌕He kept in interfering with the mortal plane, something that displeased the council
🌕So they banisched him
🌕When Khonshu was exiled he was shatterd, being seperated from you pained him beyond meassure
🌕Before he could do anything irrational to get back to you
��He felt your arms around him
🌕You were on earth, with him
🌕Khonshu had so many question but decided to stay in your embrace instead. The fear of having lost you really broke him for a moment
🌕He asked if you also got banisched
🌕You didn't, but you could not just stand there and let your love be send away.
🌕So you chose to leave the Ennead, they didn't understand your decision but respected it
🌕Unlike Khonshu, you were still welcomed back, so long you don't break the rules
🌕But none of that matterd, what is most important is that you two are together.
🌕Because of his banishment, Khonshu resents the other gods yet is grateful that you chose to stay with him
🌕Sometimes however, he can't help but feel guilty for being the reason you left your home
🌕You quickly shut those thought down. As much as he can't bear to be without you, you also could not imagine a life separated with Khonshu
🌕You kiss his entire face, declaring your love for him over and over again
🌕You smotherd him with so much love he became flusterd, causing a Blood Moon to happen
🌕While on earth you watched Khonshu take many new Avatars, but one stood out to you
🌕A mortal named Arthur Harrow
🌕You made your distaste for the human very clear and it turned you had every reason not to like him
🌕Khonshu's next Avatar however, Marc Spector, you didn't dislike
🌕You saw a broken, scared boy. While he was close on deaths door, you appeard before him. Giving him comfort and love
🌕Khonshu himself came too, offering Marc a deal, to become his avatar. You didn't like how it sounded but chose to trust your beloved.
🌕You didn't see much of Marc after that, beliving Khonshu to take good care of him
🌕It wasn't until much later that you decided to see Marc again.
🌕Khonshu seemed irritated, so you thought you might check up on the little human
🌕You were more than suprised that he forgot about you
🌕And suddenly got an british accent
🌕He seemed rather frightened.
🌕Which confused you even more, why would he be scared of you when he has regular contact with Khonshu
🌕And speaking of him, you saw your husband scaring the poor boy not long after
🌕Chasing him through a corridor
🌕It wasn't until you appeard, that you chastised Khonshu for terrifying Marc.
🌕When you send Khonshu away, you tried to calm Marc down, to which he told you his name was Steven Grant.
🌕How odd
🌕You decided that the man has seen enough gods for now and left him alone
🌕Asking Khonshu why Marc now goes by Steven Grant and acts completely diffrent, he tells you not to worry about the worm
🌕Which left you even more confused???
🌕You later on found out on yourself, that Steven was diffrent person entirely.
🌕Before you could find out more, Steven met Harrow.
🌕Khonshu found out and demanded Steven to break his windpipe, scaring him even more
🌕You tried to calm Khonshu down from his tantrum
🌕Reader "Yes dear, you are real justice"
🌕Everything Happened so fast, a jackal got summoned, Harrow got the scarab and Steven got a very nice suit
🌕The aftermath however
🌕Khonshu talked to Marc
🌕As their conversation went on, you start to have doubts about your Husband's deal.
🌕When they go to egypt, you follow them to make sure they don't cause too much trouble
🌕During the trial with the council, you try to defend Khonshu and prove that Harrow is trying to free Ammit
🌕The Ennead however thought that your time with Khonshu has warped your sense of truth and lies
🌕You made a mental note to curse Osiris later
🌕When Steven and Layla needed the night sky from the past, you begged Khonshu not to do reverse it. But knowing the importance of the mission, you relented.
🌕Khonshu took your face gently in his hand and caressed your cheek, before going to turn the night sky back
🌕Your heart shatterd when he was imprisoned, trying to get a hold of him as he was fading away
🌕You honestly considerd hunting down the gods and their avatars
🌕You would free him, no matter what
🌕But helping Steven and Layla was more important now
🌕You helped them during your journy to stop Harrow
🌕But things didn't go as planned
🌕Marc and Steven got shot, and Harrow got away
🌕You did your best to keep Layla save.
🌕Resurrecting the boys now was out of question, their souls have long since left
🌕You just hoped Tawaret would bend the rules for once
🌕When Layla went for Harrow you tried to convince her to free Khonshu isntead, the corpse on the ground agreed with you!
🌕When you got to Khonshu's Ushabti and Layla freed him
🌕You embraced Khonshu
🌕Hard
🌕Nearly crushing him
🌕But when he asked Layla to become his new avatar you chastised him, saying how to leave her alone and grieve
🌕When Ammit got freed and fought Khonshu, you intervined and gave Khonshu time to escape.
🌕When you found out Marc and Steven were alive, you were ecstatic
🌕When Khonshu offerd to let Marc and Steven go, you were proud of him. Letting the two have a, somewhat, normal life
🌕When the second fight with Ammit came, you didn't hesitate to attack her
🌕When she trapped Khonshu with her hair, while she was starting to get sealed away, you punched Ammit in the face to hasten the process.
🌕When Khonshu wanted Marc to kill Harrow you chose to step in and let Marc know that he was free now, he could finally leave all this behind
🌕Before he goes tho, he says that you were his and Steven's favorite
🌕Don't tell Taweret!
🌕Yet you were a little shocked at how Khonshu agreed so quickly, without any argument
🌕With all that has happened you just wanted to hold your silly bird man and gaze at the heavens
🌕One day though, Khonshu was gone longer than usual, so you decided to find him
🌕You did not exspect to find Harrow being put in a limo, by what seemed to be Marc Spector's body, but not him or Steven.
🌕What suprised you more was how Khonshu himself was there, with new suit, which you guessed he made after Steven's
🌕It seems your dear husband has been keeping secrets from you...

chapter 4: i am the antichrist to you
(summary) | dabihawks, todoroki family, seroroki, kiribaku, aizawa & class of 1a, ua traitor
____________
DAY 1
____________
Bakugou Katsuki kicks the seventh rock that’s encountered his path in this hell of a street. He’s never been to this part of town, his cell service has never been so shit, and he’s convinced the last three people who’ve bumped into him haven’t showered in weeks.
He’s about to give up until he spots a vaguely familiar pair of blue sneakers. They’re torn, dirtied down into a shade of dull navy, but the four written initials still stretch across the midsole.
KH. NT. AT.
The shoes are right, but the skin-wrapped skeleton of the body who wears them is someone Katsuki does not recognize.
Dabi’s horrible rasp rings loud in Katsuki’s ears — ‘I’ve heard about you, it’s pretty easy to get info from hungry delinquents.’
Kemuri Hashiga and Nagai Tesaki, once bright and plump juniors, sit outside the worst halfway house Katsuki has ever fucking seen, passing around either a cigarette or a joint.
The same boys who used to complain of their fathers’ smoking habits.
‘Really? You don’t even keep up with the very kids that followed you around everywhere? Your ‘extras’? Man, maybe you are the perfect pick, huh. A little bully to quirk-less kids, you’ll fit in here just fine.’
Katsuki takes a deep breath, adjusts the hold of his wrapped bento, and stomps forward for answers.
Kemuri’s black hair is wild as ever, but it’s the resigned look in his eyes that falters Katsuki’s step.
“Long time, no see, Bakugou.”
And, Katsuki, well, he’s never been one to beat around the bush. He drops the towered bento between the two kids — ‘according to that patchwork son-of-a-bitch, they need to eat.’ — and demands, “What the fuck happened to you? You guys were rich.”
Long, spindly fingers snake around the bento like pale garden snakes. Katsuki suppresses a shiver, he never did like Nagai’s quirk — the sound his fingers would make when extending always reminded him of those overly-gory horror movies.
Nagai doesn’t say anything. He won’t even look up, his face shadowed by greasy strings of hair that droop past his shoulders.
Katsuki used to like his hair, it was always shiny and thick. Brown, with the most subtle highlights one could only see when it was spring and sunlight would beam from the classroom windows right over his seat. He used to complain of overheating during these times. Katsuki used to send small explosions around his chair to make him sweat.
‘I’m not like that anymore,’ Katsuki begs of himself.
He squats down to their level and watches as the two tear into the bento like hungry wolves.
He waits until they’ve had a few pieces of meat and some rice, “Where’s Akairo? I can’t find anything on him.”
“Dead.”
Katsuki whips his head to Kemuri, “What?”
“Yeah,” grains of rice dot the boy’s cheeks. Kemuri brings the bowl up to his face and licks the bowl clean, “Thought you knew. Dumbass made a deal to be some old fucker’s experiment — thought he’d get stronger, or something. He never got into a hero school, and he liked flying.”
Katsuki remembers. Akairo Tsubasa was a dragon-like mutant — ‘heteromorph, you can’t call ‘em that’ — who spent 90% of his day above ground. His favorite hero was Ryukyu, to which Katuski used to roll his eyes over and tell him, ‘There’s no use in idolizing a hero that can do the same thing as you. No one’s interested in what the world already has.’
To his credit, Akairo usually would just laugh and respond with, ‘I don’t care about charts. I just want the license so I can fly without having to worry about getting fined or arrested!’
Katsuki latches onto the word, ‘experiment’. He can’t help but immediately think of the Nomus.
“Was he killed?”
Kemuri nods, “Stain.”
‘Gods, no,’ Katsuki couldn’t explain it to himself, he couldn’t logicalize the cold feeling in his chest. If he were to be completely honest with himself, he wasn’t really friends with those three. He was their fucked-up cult leader and they were dumb enough, impressionable enough, hell, maybe insecure enough to have followed him around like loyal puppies. Half the time, he barely remembered their names — admittedly, that’s why it took him so long just to find them.
Katsuki sighs and looks at the building the two boys lean on. He studied the dilapidated state of the wood — not rotted, but splintered and discolored. Mismatched tree bark nailed hastily throughout like bandaids, the temporary last-minute fixes of an oozing, wounded thing.
Katsuki clears his throat, “Why’re you two here, though. Did you run away from your homes?”
‘Were their homes as hostile as mine?’
The two have been scarfing down the contents of each bento bowl since the minute Katsuki arrived, but at this question, they both freeze. The knuckles of Nagai’s unstretched fingers turn white with the strength of his grip around the bowl.
“We’re orphans,” Kemuri starts, and his voice is so low and strained, that Katsuki has to lean in closer, “Our parents died in a hero fight. Building caught on fire, there were no survivors.”
‘Gods,’ Katsuki rubs his eye, ‘It just keeps getting worse. How did I not hear any of this?’
“Why this place? One bad rainstorm and it’s going to fucking collapse.”
Nagai hasn’t moved a single inch, and Kemuri shrugs, “Used to be one of the best, till heroes just kept flingin’ rocks and fuck-knows what else at it. A rainstorm taking this place down would be a blessing, at this point — insurance might then cover something.”
Kemuri’s tone, for the first time since Katsuki’s heard, turns bitter and his mouth tips into an ugly snarl — one Katsuki doesn’t think he’s ever seen, not even when they were bullying kids in their middle school homeroom. “Fuckin’ heroes,” he spits, literally, over his shoulder, and down the concrete they sit on with a frothy splat, “Never watching where they fucking aim.”
And, Katsuki — well, he’s a boy with the worst kind of anger issues and there is an undying need to defend his line of work, defend the concept of, ‘the ends justify the means,’ because — “These villains never stop, heroes have to make last minute decisions and they can’t — ”
“ — You think I care?”
Nagai’s voice has never been so loud.
He’s finally looked up and those eyes immediately shame every defense to die in Katsuki’s throat.
They’re angry, Nagai’s eyes — they’re pissed, but the set of his furrowed eyebrows speaks volumes of loss.
The loss of his family, the loss of his home — of warm food in his belly and the mundanity of watching Sunday quirk-sports with his father on a worn suede couch.
‘Yeah,’ Katsuki is right to be shamed. He’s never known loss, and though his house had never been warm, he cannot deny that the closest thing he might have to ‘a home’ awaits for him with the comradery of a hundred other kids, with the guarantee of a bright-eyed boy with too short eyebrows and too sharp teeth.
Katsuki admits he’s never cared much for these two boys, a thing he wishes he had the capacity to change, but he is striving to be a hero, and justice must be served.
With his unending resolve, Katsuki asks, “Who was the villain responsible for your parents’ death? I swear, I’ll fuckin’ get ‘em.”
Nagai’s burning eyes turn cold and a hopeless tear escapes to trail down his sunken cheek, “Endeavor.”
