I really like your peterjonelias! As there is a severe lack of it everywhere else, can you do more please!!

tired-fandom-ndn:

Yes! Absolutely!

Just as a warning, my headcanons for ships change at a whim so this is gonna be a wild mishmash of different ideas and AUs lmao

• They LOVE EACH OTHER. This isn’t a like tense alliance between avatars or whatever, it’s just three men who are very evil and love being evil together. Sometimes. Peter likes being evil with them but from a distance.
• Jon is financially stable with a well paying job and his own flat. Elias is pretty damn wealthy after hoarding 200 years worth of wealth in off-shore accounts on top of his Institute salary. Peter is still their sugar daddy and takes great pride in basically throwing his many credit and debit cards at them.
• IF they’re relationship started pre-canon or early in the show, before the Unknowing, then it’s because Jon came into his becoming as the Archivist much earlier and Elias started introducing him to the other avatars. To his delight, Jon and Peter really hit it off and things went from there.
• In that AU, they’d basically act as his support system while he slowly loses his humanity. An avatar is never more vulnerable than while in that “not quite human, not quite monster” stage and Peter and Elias work to basically protect him from other avatars, other entities, and himself. They’re his port in what feels like an endless storm.
• IF their relationship started post-Unknowing, then it would’ve basically been to spite Elias. Peter was probably trying to make his lover/husband/ex/frenemy jealous by snatching his precious Archivist, only to get in way too deep. Jon was probably drawn by Peter’s inhumanity and his own desperate need to find another anchor after losing Elias.
• Elias is a pretty average build, decently tall and pretty muscular (he did beat someone to death with a pipe). Jon is a twig, already pretty short and skinny but practically gaunt after everything that’s happened to him. Peter is MASSIVE and built like the sailor he is, complete with a very nice and soft belly. He can almost wrap his hands completely around Jon’s waist and they all love this, though he pretends he doesn’t.
• In that very fun AU where Peter is Mordechai Lukas, then Jon would absolutely be Jonathan Fanshawe reborn as his ex lover’s Archivist. I imagine Peter/Mordechai and Elias/Jonah would’ve spent the last 200 years trying to find him again, and would be DELIGHTED when the Web drops him right back into their laps.
• NSF.W/ Peter and Jon both have dehumanization/objectification kinks, Jon because it lets him enjoy sex without the usual expectations and Peter because it makes it easier for him to handle that sort of intimacy when he can pretend like his partner isn’t actually a person. Elias thinks they’re both hilarious, but is pretty into it too tbh.
• Peter and Elias really do love each other, but they’re so different and when they fight, it’s brutal. That’s why they split up so often. Jon, though, doesn’t hesitate to call them out on their overdramatic bullshit and force them to actually talk things out. His low tolerance for relationship nonsense is part of the glue holding their relationship together.
• Peter justifies their relationship to himself by saying that, even if he isn’t particularly lonely when he’s with them, the pain and loneliness is excruciating when he’s away. It’s his offering to the Lonely, an apology for finding love.
• To “exacerbate the loneliness” according to him, he brings some of Jon and Elias’s things with him when he goes to sea. Not photos, just to make things more difficult for how voyeuristic Watcher, but things like Elias’s favorite coat or the quilt that Jon’s had for years.
• In turn, his presence is always in their home, even when he’s gone. They have what few pictures they can take of him, leave his clothes hanging in the closet and folded in the dresser, keep his toiletries out and a towel set aside for him, don’t put away his spare shoes or coats, etc. They make sure that he’s still there with them.
• This infuriates and pains him.
• N.SFW/ Pre-prison, Jon discovered a fondness for cockwarming under Elias’s desk. This continued when Peter was the head of the Institute, and then when they moved in together.
• They aren’t secretive about their relationship but NO ONE knows the details. It’s the hottesr topic for Institute gossip.
• Elias complains constantly about Peter giving him beard burn, but he’d riot if Peter ever actually shaved.
• In an omegaverse AU, one where Jon is trans, or an AU with some sort of supernatural pregnancy shenanigans, Jon would put his foot down about entity-related childrearing. The Lukases may be obsessed with churning out loneliness floor their god through child neglect and emotional abuse, but Jon will not tolerate that for his children. Their child will be raised with love and will choose their own entity (or no entity at all) when it’s their time. Peter and Elias both accepted this, under threat of Jon leaving if they tried to break that rule.
• Jon likes to nap on Peter’s lap. He is basically just an overgrown cat.
• To keep from hurting Peter with their own Beholding habits, Jon and Elias created a very complex ritual involving the torture and sacrifice of humans to both the Beholding and the Lonely. This is effectively to reassure their entities that they’re still loyal and dedicated, and to ask that they be be allowed to See Peter. This ritual needs to be repeated pretty frequently, but it seems to be working.
• The Lukases actually weren’t too unhappy about the relationship. It strengthens the alliance between the Beholding and the Lonely, and that means less danger for all of them.
• Peter gives the best massages and Jon’s joints haven’t felt this amazing since the early days of his arthritis.
• Jon goes into the Lonely willingly, just so he’s marked like he needs to be, and part of Peter is shattered at how much damage it did. He knew how easily they could hurt him, but never really thought about how much he could hurt them in turn. It was a very sobering realization.
• This was very Peter focused bc I don’t think peterjon gets enough love, sorry!
