let's not talk about the parallels of Peter being electrocuted by Miasma in order to get Juno and him out of the Tomb, and now Juno getting electrocuted by the behavior modification program in order to get his family out
cause you can suffer through mostly anything when you have something, anything, to look forward to
Juno Steel would know. Hyperion has told enough stories about him, and none of them ever get it right - not the one where he’s the abandoned golden child, the best-kept secret of Jack Takano and Northstar, not the ones that call him a conspiracy theorist wrapped up in the footage of a hoax, not the full-length, front-page biography about “Juno Kanagawa.”
No, Hyperion has only ever seen pieces. None of their stories mention that he’s a mer, and after seeing the damage being known can cause, Juno prefers it that way.
But not even Juno knows his whole story. Finding it will require untangling a web of lies tied together with mer song... and learning to trust.
And finally, after many months of work and a wordcount that would not stop rising, my fic for @penumbrabang! Thank you to everyone who helped me see this thing through!
Happy mermay, everyone!

[ID1: A full color digital picture depicting Juno from the shoulders up. He is a dark skinned nonbinary person. He’s wearing a strappy red dress, purple lipstick, a purple eye patch, golden triangular earrings, and gold eyeliner. His hair is short cropped and he’s face is scarred and flushed. His nose is bleeding and a black blaster with electric blue and green detailing is being held against his left temple by a tan person in a blue tank and dark blue trousers. The person is almost completely out of frame. Judging by Juno’s positioning, he’s likely being held on his knees. The assailant right hand is on Juno’s right shoulder. They are both facing the viewer against a dark purple background. Juno looks put out and grumpy, but not particularly scared. The artist’s signature is in the top left corner in a light purple. It reads “@captaincravatthecapricious.” End ID]
[ID2: A mostly grayscale digital illustration depicting Peter Nureyev and Juno Steel. They face each other, Peter angled towards the viewer, and Juno angled away. Peter is a mixed Filipino man wearing a loose shirt under a corset. He has oversized glasses, tight trousers, an ear cuff, and sharp teeth slightly visible through full lips. He’s avoiding Juno’s gaze, and waving his hand, partly obscuring his face. He’s deflecting, while Juno is trying to look into his eyes, checking for a concussion. Peter is bleeding on his right side, visible as a coral red, just above his corset, Juno is applying pressure. Juno is a dark skinned nonbinary person wearing a backless dress and triangular earrings. He’s wearing eyeliner and an eye-patch and has visible armpit hair. He has scars on his visible skin, full lips, and he’s looking tender and concerned. He’s cupping Peter’s face with his right hand, looking into his eyes. He’s flushed the same coral, feverish. The artist signature is visible on Peter’s right thigh. It reads “@captaincravatthecapricious.” End ID]
i was walking among the fires of hell, delighted with the enjoyments of genius; which to the angel look like torment and insanity.

I was talking to myself in the shower and i said the most genius thing. I said "Lord Arum is just Peter Nureyev wearing a lizard costume doing a very bad impression of Con O'Neill"
At first it hurt, it hurt so badly, to see this lady look so much happier, so much softer and unburdened and alive after he refused Peter. To see a Juno Steel that isn’t trying to die, and isn’t angry at the entire universe, and isn’t gnashing at the teeth for a fight against anything that could hurt him, after Peter offered him the stars and was abandoned. It hurt to see Juno so much better and know it happened without Peter, after Peter offered to do anything for him.
Now, though. Now it makes Peter smile, knowing his love found it in himself to try to get better, to want to live, for himself, not for Peter. Not because Peter requested it, but because Juno looked at his life and decided to be kinder to himself, to not take the entire universe on his own shoulders, and to allow others in.
Peter may not have been part of this process, but the fact is that it’s only because Juno grew so much that he is even allowed in now, and more than that… more than that, Peter is just so proud, seeing the man who stole his heart finding joy in being alive, after the last time they parted ways with each other, death clinging to both of them, but even more so to the detective who tried to blow himself
#tpp#jupeter#junoverse #the penumbra podcast #this is actually a piece of a fic i have to finish #from the set i was writing on the nebulous Carte Blanche timeline #and seeing how s04 is going rn. i may need to get back to it. bc my lady needs softness #and Nureyev also needs some love! where is Nureyev??? in the Carte Blanche. w his lady love. obviously!
being afraid of doors exists on a spectrum, on one end is Juno and Peter (oh do not separate me from my lady love or I shall perish) and on the opposite end is anyone afraid of the spiral
