Papa was a rolling stone...

[cbrandtwright]

AN:  I think someone's done something similar to this at some point, but what do we know about the parents of the Shitennou?  Here's my take on one...  Could be the start of Papa!verse.

Who?  OC (Kunzite adjacent)

When?  pre-SilMil

A little dark, but nothing that warrants an M.

Forget everything else. I mean it. Write this as a full blown fic. Do it. Do it now.

Oh. My. Baked Beans on Toast.

Taken down by his own village. And the visual you give... *hurk*

I think there is sooooooooooooooooo much room for interpretation. How did the kingdom end up to where it was when our kids enter the picture? Okay, you twisted my arm - but perhaps I'll need to save up the expanded story for Angsty April.

Oh this is lovely and terrible. I love the small details of the world and of Kohar that you offer that seem so simple yet explain so much. And poor Kunzite, not only born without a father, but brought up under his shadow, with all that responsibility and dark history.

Agreed - I'm hoping to, at some point in the future, do backstories for all the papa Shitennou. I don't think there's anything in the canon of where the four actually come from.

asdf;; COURTNEY THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! i find the potential in the backstory about his father and mother and the origins of the shitennou and the golden kingdom absolutely fascinating, and it's a shame it's not explored more in the fandom...*hint hint hint* this pushes every single one of my buttons and I KNOW YOU KNOW IT.

MORE.

Hint taken. Finally picked up Kushiel's Dart and am LOVING it so far.

Was my subject change too obvious? I do hope to get back to this verse eventually - now where did that muse go?
