Your post about married Lonelyeyes with “secret” Jonelias affair made me think about Elias getting Jon pregnant (accidentally or “accidentally”) and now Jon is dealing with guilt and shame + fear of being found out + visible evidence of their affair growing inside him everyday
YOU GET IT. YOU GET ME.
God, his misery would be an amazing meal for those bastards too. I could totally see Peter stopping by the Institute just to bask in Jon’s absolute misery and loneliness and isolation as the pregnancy progresses and he pulls away from his friends and coworkers more and more.
Maybe they keep the meal going even longer, Elias setting Jon and their child up in a nice flat or townhouse or something, turning them into the “other family”, a scandalous secret for Elias to keep carefully isolated to a tiny corner of his life while he spends his real life with his dearly beloved husband.
Of course Jon has no idea that when Elias goes back to his actual home, it’s empty and Peter is very rarely there, but I don’t think it’d be much of a comfort even if he did know.
I don’t know how long they’d let this go on, but I like the idea of Jon actually growing into his own as an avatar before Elias and Peter even realize what’s happening. A Web avatar, perhaps, to take back the strings controlling him. Or a Dark avatar, a way for him to take his child and disappear into the shadows where Elias can’t See Or Find them. Maybe even a Lonely avatar, twisting himself around into something new until he can thrive in his life of isolation, his child the only constant.
And then he’s gone. Or maybe not gone, but out of their grasp even if they don’t realize it. Peter and Elias playing with their food for so long that their prey ends up becoming a predator just to survive… …
