Summary
It was instinctual, to want to be touched and cared for; to be hugged and held, caressed in gentle, loving arms. But unfortunately, Steven could attest, and maybe even Jake as well (if he wasn’t being an actual douchebag half the time), but their body had developed an extreme reaction to sudden movement and being touched out of the blue.
Or, in the aftermath of the final battle with Harrow/Ammit, Marc is still reeling from reliving the painful memories of his childhood and coming so close to losing Steven to the Duat and has a panic attack when Layla tries to suddenly hug him.

Summary
From a very early age, Jake had learned to prioritize their body and sanity over everything else; nothing got in the way of Jake protecting the three of them from outside forces, absolutely nothing. He would willingly (if not a little hesitantly) go through a mental health break for Marc and Steven’s sake.
Or, an au where Jake reveals his identity to Marc and Steven right off the bat in order for them to not suspect his agreement with Khonshu.

Summary
“It’s not going to be the same as it once was,” Layla rubbed his index finger with her thumb, a soothing motion that he could focus on. “But I want it to be that way, and I know for a fact that you do too.”
She had always been good at reading him, delving deep into the thick of his mind and what he liked and disliked. Layla was smart, perceptive, and stubborn at the best of times, she had always put her all into those she loved and cared for. Sometimes, when he sat back and really thought about it, he was overwhelmed at just how much she seemed to love him and what she was willing to do and sacrifice for his happiness. It was the same way for him and his feelings for her — there was no ocean wide enough to keep them apart, no man who could come between them, and no journey that he would rather take for her.
It made Marc feel so incredibly guilty for just now realizing the gravity of how deep Layla El-Faouly’s love for him went and would continue to go.
Or, the Moon Boys decide to face their fears and get some much needed answers, with some feelings along the way.
