Haven end run preplay part one! PARENTS WEEKEND

[seaoftroubles]

Ugh, when is PW this year, anyway? Any hope we actually manage this by then?

THE PLAN:

• Mara poses as Audrey for PW. Finds Duke at the welcome picnic? Immediately flirts/constantly touches him (secretly filling him with aether)
• Duke warns Lucifer and Octavia via text. They all meet together (at the boat? in the park?) to tell her to fuck off
• Audrey breaks through Mara's hold for a hot minute. Duke re-manifests Jordan's trouble out of defensiveness and they learn that his troubles can affect her
• Mara gives up the pretense and admits she's primed Duke to explode if Octavia doesn't open a portal to her home world right the fuck now. Lucifer(?) sets up a Portalocity portal to trick her into instead.
• Mara goes through the portal into whatever random not-her-home-world-or-Haven dimension it opened to. Portal shuts. OT3 has a quiet moment of "fuck yeah, that's over" (with Duke trying not to ruin it with his "okay, but also Audrey" angst)
• Duke FUCKING EXPLODES. Lucifer flings himself (and his beautiful wings) on him like he's a grenade and absorbs most of the troubles. One or two maybe escape and Octavia pounces on them, troubling herself(?).
• Duke passes out, they take him home, we have some angsty h/c times before moving on to PART TWO -- later, when we get this sucker going pretty well first

With OCD incoming!

Octavia wished the terror she was feeling had actually been fading. She was searching Duke's face for something, then looked at Lucifer again.

"Is this what she wanted?"

Just another question neither of them had an answer for.

"For him to explode?" Lucifer inquired. "I imagine so."

He felt a hopeless anger.

"I hope she wound up in a world full of nothing but porcupines."

Octavia had more questions, but it felt fruitless to ask them. She hesitated for a second, then reached out to touch her hand to Duke's cheek.

Resisting the urge to check for a pulse that she knew was there because she could see him breathing.
