hey! a little too shy to come off anon but i wanted to say your response to the sugar daddy thing has given me lots of ideas. including but not limited to: peter finding out elias's plans and making fun of him, elias who assumes jon is just a nerd (he is) who's memorized things when he's really using beholding powers, poor jon dealing with simon fairchild, and elias who only finds out jon's the archivist when jon's many eyes open during sex
actually no even better: they’re cuddling and jon feels so safe and secure and elias looks down to see the dozens of eyes on jon’s skin blinking open to look at him
- Peter mocks him RUTHLESSLY. His favorite thing to bring up is joking about Elias using HIS money to take care of Jon. It isn’t actually Peter’s, but it’s hilarious to see how pinched his face gets.
- “I knew mother was right when she told me I should get a prenup but I never thought you’d fall so far!” “Your mother died 200 years before we ever married, you absolute—”
- Elias is so fucking used to knowing everything that he assumes that Jon also knowing everything just means that they’re obviously soulmates. He literally never makes the connection. God, he’s so smart and such an idiot.
- Simon: So I see that you’re carrying on the wonderful avatar tradition of starting a sugar baby polycule ;)
- Elias: Jon, sweetheart, I’m so sorry but we can’t see each other anymore. It’s not you and it’s not me, it’s Simon. Blame Simon.
- CONSIDER THIS ATUALLY: JON HAS MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF EYES TO OPEN
- He has his normal human eyes which are, just for the record, a beautiful, deep brown. Elias could gaze into them for hours but respects Jon’s issues with direct eye contact.
- He’s also covered in eyes that only open when he feels incredibly safe, when he knows that the person or people he’s with would never take advantage of such a giant weakness. They’re the same shade as his regular eyes, and tend to only open in batches instead of all at once.
- He also has a “halo” of eyes, which are glowing outlines of eyes that essentially orbit around him. The main one is a giant glowing halo around his head, and the rest are smaller ones that are scattered around him. Their usual color is neon green, but they often change color depending on the situation. Jon only manifests them when he needs to See as much as he possibly can, and Elias will never forget lying in bed with Jon hovering over him, watching those eyes blink into existence because Jon wanted nothing more than to remember that moment forever.
- Elias has had a few Archivists in his very long life, but never one like Jon. He has never seen an Archivist who has reached their full potential, who accepts their role entirely and embraced their abilities. He’s not at all prepared for how incredible Jon is, and is completely blown away.
- He does not make the connection though. This vain bastard probably assumed that Jon didn’t become Archivist until they started seeing each other.
- “My dick gave you—” “Elias, NO. Stop talking.”
