    Summary

    chaos theory
    noun
    the branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behaviour is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences.

    'Is this really worth it?' Seems to be a recurring thought throughout Noir's life.

    He remembers thinking it at nine years old after snapping Lewis Frankel's neck. He remembers thinking it after Soldier Boy ruined his chance of being in Beverly Hills Cop. He remembers thinking it as his skull was smashed in by the same man who had taken everything from him.

    Now, here he is, forty years later. Despite being broken, the same whispering self-doubt has managed to cling onto whatever husk that's still left of him, murmuring a tiny, ‘was stopping him worth it?’

    Noir shoves the thought down like every other time.

    He doubts that the whole ordeal with Starlight and The Deep will affect anything. It was just one awkward moment he stumbled into by accident. How much could that possibly change for him?

    OR

    A rewrite of The Boys from Black Noir's POV if he had accidentally interrupted Starlight and The Deep's first meeting.

    Summary

    “Sir, there’s a version of Mark outside. Asking to see you.”

    Cecil feels his stomach clench in apprehension as he looks at the Mark through grainy security footage. Hands behind his head and expression perfectly calm surrounded by reanimen.

    No yelling, no cocky smirk, no crazy eyes.

    There's also none of the anxiety or anger or any of the complicated array of emotions that Cecil is used to seeing on those features. Just the sort of calm confidence that stems from the complete and utter certainty that he’s the strongest person in the room. Cecil is intimately familiar with that look, since he used to see it all the time.

    On Nolan’s face.

     

    Or: MasklessMark isn't evil and he wants to stay. Complicated, heart-wrenching, and sometimes funny things result from this choice.

    Summary

    Mark stopped dead in his tracks. His blood turned to ice.

    The face in the dirt was his own.

    It was older, the jawline sharper and covered in a thick layer of stubble and gore. There was a jagged scar running through one eyebrow that Mark didn't have, and the sheer size of the man—the breadth of his shoulders and the thickness of his arms—made the seventeen-year-old Mark feel like a twig in comparison.

    "Dad..." Mark’s voice was barely a breath. "That’s... that’s me. How is that me?"

    Nolan didn't answer. He stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at the broken, older version of his son. His expression was unreadable, a mask of stone, but his hands were clenched so tightly at his sides that the air around his fists began to ripple.

    He didn't look like a worried father. He looked like a man who had just seen a ghost that shouldn't exist.

    Summary

    Mark holds the truth nestled close to his heart, buried beside pearly white ribs, surely stitched into his sternum. He is thing with teeth, he knows. Cruel and ugly and monstrous. He binds himself, rightly so, holds the leash tight on his neck, self muzzled by the endless sky and sun and sand.
    ---
    Mark stays a bit too long in the desert. He still comes home.
