A Ship of Theseus

Summary: Half a year after Ammit, the Moon Boys have moved in with Layla again. One day, there's a special delivery. A blast from the past, in the most mundane way imaginable.

A/N: A character study of an adult survivor of childhood abuse. What is means for memories, belongings, and justice

------------------------------------------------------------------

It's another of those days.

On most days recently, stuff around the house is just...stuff. Then every once in a while, they seem to stare back at him. Try to provoke him into a conversation, introspection, memories.

Until recently, there wasn't a lot of belongings Marc had held on to. When he'd left the house, he could take only as much as he could fit in two bags. And he definitely wasn't aiming to include keepsakes. In a way, that had been easier: living in a space that looked absolutely different. It was easier to pretend the child in his memories wasn't really him, or at best was just a version of him. It's been fifteen years since.

When Marc moved back in with Layla, half a year past the Ammit situation, things had become completely different. Steven was in the picture now, and he came with his massive stack of books and an aquarium Marc found unnecessarily huge for two fish. "It's bigger than my army room", Marc had grumbled to Layla one evening as he helped her carry her stuff into their new apartment.

Between her and Steven, it's easy to lose yourself in the warmth of home. At least that's what Marc had hoped to do. Until Elias called again. As he does. When Marc refused to speak to him, Steven suddenly found himself on call with a father he had no memory of having. But Elias called to talk business. He was selling some old furniture from the house; too much stuff for one person he said. Layla listened to it all with rapt attention as her husband curled up on her lap. It was the memories that were hanging too heavy on Elias, that much was obvious. But she wouldn't tell Marc that, she wouldn't set him on another path of feeling guilt for his choice of cutting contacts. Marc had already done enough, and Elias not nearly so.

Two months later, Packers and Movers delivered a mountain of packages from his once 'home'. Marc eyed the pile with obvious distress, second guessing his choice of accepting the unused furniture just sitting around the house. It'd saved them good bucks they could now use towards a proper honeymoon in the Maldives.

The biggest piece of furniture was a heavy desk, now dismantled into pieces and neatly packed. It had been a gift from his grandfather when he turned five. The man liked to spoil his grandkids. In the years since, the table became his sanctuary. He sketched and played on it, and hid under it when needed. The table had been his constant, his only witness. The only piece of wood in that house he found claim to.

But seeing it now, in this form, sent a chill down his spine. The power tools were ready, it'd take just hours to put it all together. Piece by piece, construct back the silent observer of all those childhood experiences: the ones he remembered, and the ones forever lost to memory. He'd have to bring them back, by his own hands.

Layla was only a little surprised when she came home that evening. Normally Marc hated having things lying around, leading to endless complaints of Steven's untidiness. But she'd guessed the table would be, quite literally, a lot to unpack.

"You don't have to", she told him over a cup of tea. "We can sell it, or put it in storage somewhere. Anything." Marc sighed deeply, shaking his head. "It's mine. But I...", he didn't really want it around. It wasn't comforting. His home with his wife and his alter was his safe haven.

But it's also sacred. Some planks of wood simply nailed together; the weight of which only his tiny young shoulders knew. In one teasing example of the ship of Theseus, Steven told him. If you take it apart piece by piece, and build it back together, is it the same anymore?

Marc doesn't know. He leaves the philosophical shit to him and Layla. But he does know what it makes him feel, unlike either of them. It's only him, and the voice inside of him, flaring up from all those scared memories of a bruised kid hidden beneath the wide tabletop. Teary eyes demanding justice...from himself if not from anyone else.

It's been almost thirty years, and Marc still doesn't know what justice looks like for them. How is he supposed to make the correct decision? From the opposite wall, the propped up packages seem to follow every movement...observing, judging, waiting.

"I was thinking...", Layla chimes in breaking his train of thought. "We should head to Maldives in October. Weather should clear up by then...and it won't be too hot." Marc purses his lips in thought, considering the idea, glancing between the cardboard and Layla's jade black eyes.

"That's two months, huh? Yeah...should be enough time to plan", he shrugs. "Tell Steven, he'll be thrilled." "We can finish setting up the flat when we're back", she starts washing the cups. Marc stares at her back, as she's seemingly lost in her world. Another deep sigh, his eyes closed, memories of the desk, memories of this kitchen countertop, Layla sitting on it...the day they made S'mores together. "Yeah...", he smiles, walking up to her and putting the cups away. "I'll....put these in the storeroom till then?"

"Yeah sure, we can deal with them once we're back." she flashes him a blinding grin. "So, honeymoon, huh?"

Marc chuckles, and wraps her in his warmest hug.

go to a wedding, go to a party, go to a museum with the moon boys🫶🏻

7. go to a wedding with, go to a party with, go to a museum with

eeek okay, i want to say go to a wedding with marc, but i feel like he would not want to be there😭😭 but also, i would not really want to be there either, so maybe we would just chill quietly in the corner together and eat and drink good stuff. marc definitely seems like the type you can people watch with, while also having your own fun yet chill conversation, and thats what i personally would love to have in a setting like that (that makes us both kind of uncomfortable and anxious) i feel he would relate to how you feel, and we would find comfort in eachother🥺 and god just imagine him all dressed up🫠 and the both of you getting all hot at how the other looks🤭 and the yearning.. the desire for your own wedding together,, hooo boy

i would definitely go to a party with jake, i think if/when given the chance (like in the comics) hes super fun and laidback, and loves to hang around people. i saw a post the other day saying jakes the type who would stay by your side the entire time if you get anxious around people/at parties and it made me want to cry ngl because i think thats so true😭😭 he would just love to be with you, and would want you to be safe and comfortable and happy, and gaaaah i need that so bad. and i think that if i were comfortable enough in the environment to loosen up a bit and let myself have fun, we would have funnnn. i can see him getting rowdy for sure, and i might just join him😋 i think hes a touchy flirty goofy loud drunk for sure lol we would definitely have a good time😏

and of course i gotta go to a museum with steven,, i mean. who woulda guessed. but i actually love going to museums and art galleries, though i havent had the chance many times in my life. i would love hearing his thoughts on things he knows about, and his tangents and info dumping. i think he would have really insightful and unique thoughts on some things, and id just love to learn from him. he would definitely have some cheeky facts too. i also think seeing and learning about new things together, or telling him about something he doesnt know, would be really great too, i think he just loves to listen and learn as well, and just enjoys being with you and talking about things you both like together. itd be such a sweet time🥺🥹

thank you for this ask!! so fun thinking about all of this lol i did not think id write that much about it all🧍woop

Current Drafts [23/10/23] - 15 (plus 22 tickletobers)

So I'm not sure how up to date I'm gonna keep this but we'll see...

If they're in italics I'm actively writing them. If they're just on the list I haven't started yet (I'm sorry if that's the case 😬)

Currently in my drafts box are the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------

PROMPTS:

3 Sentence Prompts 1. Superbat Biceps (as I'm updating this I'm realising this is meant to be a 3 sentence prompt... I didn't plan it to be that short teehee oops) COMBINED WITH Clark discovers just how ticklish the stoic, i've-never-laughed-in-my-life batman is, and teases him relentlessly for it.

1. Superbat - When Superman raspberries Batman's stomach, Bruce doesn't know how to react.

Marvel:

1. Stucky - Bucky's long hair gives him a new idea on how to wreck Steve

Moon Knight

1. Jake feels a little left out of the boy's antics. Noticing this, Steven and Marc bring him in to the teasing, with some very tickly consequences.

2. After days of compounding stress, Marc accidentally snaps at Steven. To pull him out of his guilty mood, Steven gives him a friendly punishment fit for the crime.

Supernatural 1. Destiel wings fic

Stranger Things 1. Robin and Steve talk tickles while high on the truth serum

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY IDEAS:

Across The SpiderVerse 1. Lee!Miles Ler!EveryoneElse (hehe) - The spidey gang take a group photo but Miles' smile "isn't good enough for them" (it's fine they just want to mess with him) so they decide to get a genuine grin out of him in the most effective way. This becomes a recurring event any time Miles "isn't smiling enough" (AKA literally any chance they get)

2. Lee!Miles, Switch!PeterB, Ler!Miguel - Peter wrecks miles and constantly teases him about how 'I thought I trained you better". Miguel then comes in and does the same to Peter to help miles out.

Wonder Woman uses her lasso of truth to tease bruce about his ticklishness. she doesnt quite expect his answers.

Merlin

1. The knights discuss who is the biggest tickle monster of the group, and who is the most ticklish. While the answer to the first question is obvious, there's one person who hasn't yet revealed their ticklishness

2. Arthur ends up trapped in bed (definitely not by merlin's hand 😉) so Merlin takes advantage of the opportunity to get revenge for all the times arthur has messed with him.

Moon Knight

1. After hiding from his brothers, Steven has found himself between a rock and a hard place. With Marc blocking one side and Jake blocking the other, he must choose who to get wrecked by or he'll have to handle them both

2. Marc has never been one to laugh easily, so Steve and Leyla hatch a plan to finally get him to crack

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully I can get through them lmao

The Khonshu Boys; their favourite Jewish Holidays

Steven Grant; Tu B’av Steven’s favourite is the Jewish Valentines day. Considered the informal high during the three weeks leading to Tisha B’av (a fast day on which numerous disasters in Jewish history took place). Tu B’av is a celebration of being welcomed back into the fold. it was on Tu B’av that the descendants of the spies were allowed into Israel as well as when the tribe of Benjamin after the events of the Concubine of Gibeah. This idea of divine forgiveness, a call home, is what draws Steven to it. As the conciliator of the system, he finds peace in the minor holiday. A informal reprieve from the bitter days of Av.

It also suits his hopeless romantic heart, as the modern alternative to Valentine’s Day, it is the day Steven prefers to celebrate with flowers or wearing white. Dance too. He marks it in his calendar in Hebrew, the one sign of tradition in his secular practising life. I imagine he would prefer to spoil his S/O in this day rather than Valentines. It would also be his ideal day to get married- considering its an auspicious day for weddings.

The final edition is it also the end of the summer solstice in which the nights start to lengthen, for some reason I imagine as night returns more here he marks going back towards Khonshu, who’s realm is the night. There is something about the symbolism of this, especially as it traditionally marked a return to Torah study, that would interest the philosopher in Steven.

If not Tu B’av Steven’s other favourite holiday would be Tu B'Shevat, The New Year of the Trees. A holiday of renewal.

Marc Spector; Pesach or Passover Marc’s favourite holiday, with bitter irony, is Pesach. The holiday commemorating the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, the years of slavery and the years of being wandering in the desert. The time of Moses and commandments. Yet, it is deeply Marc’s favourite, for multiple reasons.

Firstly; as a child it was when all the stories were told around the table. We know he preferred to hang out with his father and his disciples learning about the Torah and Jewish history. This holiday it is discussed all infront of him without restraint. As a child he loved searching for the Afikomen and finding it first, proudly showing it off to his parents. He also knew all the words to “Echad Mi Yodea.” a song testing the general knowledge of children on the conclusion of Pesach, a humorous way of relating the tales back to G-d.

Secondly; it suits his internal moral mission. As established even without Khonshu he still feels a need to carry on a mission, to protect travellers of the night. Speaking in phrases loitered with humour and sadness, it is on this holiday it feels symbolically laid before him. The wandering in the desert, the sins of Moses as well as his virtues. The writings of the laws. Let alone the Seder plate, in which every item has a symbolic meaning.

The only issue for Marc is Pesach is a time of irony and sadness for him. His people left Egypt and now he serves an Egyptian G-d. It was the holiday, as a kid, he belonged and now he hasn't in such a long time. It is of conflicting emotions, but he would not be the Jew he is, if he couldn't balance both and sit there loving the bitter maror and the sweet charoset.

This is also Mr Knight’s favourite Holiday. Also Marc doesnt mind Hanukah, its secularised and fun but it does not have the same significance for him.

Jake Lockley; Shabbat Jake’s favourite holiday is surprisingly simple and intimate, it is the weekly Shabbat, from Friday night to Saturday morning. The time in which G-d rests and the world does not move. Resting may not be on Jake’s radar but the other meaning of Shabbat is; family. He does not celebrate it obviously nor with religious traditions but instead subtly honouring his loved ones. It his here, under his unpolished appearance and gruff temper that is simple, good heart comes out.

On Shabbat, he will go and eat with Gena and Crawley, he insists late at night that Gena puts down the utensils and comes sits and eats, to break from work. He listens to them all talk about their weeks, not saying much but simply nodding contently. Making his found family his own ritual. Yes, he will pick up freshly baked Challah that morning and keep it in a brown paper bag to share with them. However, if any of them make comment about the bread he scoffs and goes “it is just bread.”

It is also on this night that little kindnesses comes out. He still patrols the streets but if he sees an Orthodox Jew, particularly a woman and her children caught in the rain he will drive them home, pretending to be a Goy so he can take the “sin.” of operating a car on himself. It is Shabbat when he becomes a father or any form of paternal figure, that he will place a hand over their head and murmur the father’s blessing over them. Even if they don’t hear him say it.

I also imagine Jake, although the more “rule breaking.” to actually be the more devout. Like many gruff, working class Jews. He may not be to the book but he does still see himself as doing good for the community. He leaves donations in boxes, goes after the bullies of Yeshiva students and he subconsciously smiles whenever he sees Shabbat candles in the window as he drives through Manhattan.
