I love you a billion, Gillion. - A short story.

@lesbianchipbastard @arandompigeon5

“Hello?”

“This is your mother.”

“Are you there?”

“Are you coming home?”

……………………………………………….

The shell rang. Gillion sat up, assuming it was Caspian, Maybe Lizzie or John. He crawled out of the barrel. He picked up the shell, holding it to his ear.

“Hello? Gillion Tidestrider speaking?” He yawned.

“Oh Gill..” The soft sound hit his ears in such an awful way. The familiar voice of a woman Gillion knew.

“... Mom?” He managed to sputter out.

“Oh Gillion… Our little Minnow…”

“Mom! Oh my - Mom your actually- How are you-” His mind raced at a million miles a minute. How did she contact him? Why did she contact him? But that didn’t matter. He was talking to his mom again.

“Your sister sent us a letter.” He could hear the smile in her voice. Meanwhile, the Champions smile faltered.

“She’s still not… home?”

“No… But she sends letters home quite often…”

“But she hasn’t been home?”

“No, Minnow.” She sighed. Gillion did aswell. She spoke again.

“Are you safe? Your father and I are worried.. I know what your doing is right, Minnow, dont get me wrong but.. I worry for your safety.” Gillion paused.

“..The elders taught me well, Mom.” Lies. They taught him pain and hurt, and nothing but that.

But a little lie to his mother couldn’t hurt right?

“I’m glad you put it all to use..” she drifted off. The call sat in a comfortable silence for a moment. There were so many things they could say. So many questions they had to answer. So many questions they had to ASK. But neither could bring themselves to speak. It hurt. It hurt to think of it all again.

“... My little minnow, Are you coming home?” His mother broke the silence, her voice breaking with it.

“Mom.. you know I.. I can’t..” He sighed.

“I know.. I just.. I want to see you home again, Gillion. It’s been to long…”

“I know, Mom.”

“We miss you.”

“I know, Mom.”

“Come home.”

“I can’t, Mom.”

The call fell silent again.

Had it been 3 minutes?

It felt like 5 hours.

“I love you, Gillion.”

“I love you to, Mom.” He sighs.

“I love you, Gillion”

“I know, Mom… I’ll call again soon.”

“I love you, Gillion.”

“Tell Dad I miss him ok?”

“I love you, Gillion.”

“Mom?..” He felt his surroundings shift. He felt the shell become waxy. And still, his moms voice rang through the line, no longer a comfort. It became a threat. No longer filled with the same soft tone it usually held.

“You.. You aren’t my mom.” Gillions voice cracked.

“I love you, Gillion.”

“Let me wake up, Please..” he begged, tears softly falling from his face.

“I love you a billion, Gillion.”

Silence from the champion of the undersea. It felt like the words were laced with poison as his chest tightened .

“Stay safe.” Those last words hit like a bullet to the back. The phone melted to hot wax. Gillion woke up in his tub. Tears fell from his eyes, filling the water with little splashes. Jay couldnt help but wake up.

“Hey, Gill?.. You alright?..” She stood up, groggily walking over to the tub, kneeling down next to him.

“... Jay, I miss my home.” The words fell from his mouth before he could stop them. He didnt want to miss his home. He knew the pain it caused, the anguish that it left him with. And yet, his heart yearned to feel the hug of the ocean, the hug of his mother. Jay could only sigh.

“I miss my home to, Gill. We can’t go back though, Gillion.. That’s what makes us so alike.” She hummed, her hands pushing his hair back, wiping his face, gently kissing tears from his eyes.

“I try my hardest to make me and chip home for you instead.” She hummed.

“... It’s working.” Gillion smiled weakly.

“We’re home.”

/// general riptide spoilers ???

just got to ep 93 of riptide on my relisten (when finn wakes up) and i can’t stop thinking about how during the feywild arc, when celestine was assessing the magic involved in apple’s transmutation spell, necromancy was one of the types listed.

when gillion finally gets through to the unconscious finn using the bracelets, finn keeps talking about his spell, asking if it worked, if it protected his crew. it’s clear that the spell finn had been casting (over the course of 100 years supposedly) was incredibly important, and likely the reason he ended up trapped as a bird. clearly finn had some knowledge of what may happen, considering he started preparing so far in advance. it might be part of the reason he left the undersea in the first place. but after waking up, with the spell’s resulting mental deterioration, he can’t provide the answers he may have once had.

(something about the spell feels very reminiscent of a deal. finn trading his knowledge and intellect, whether he did so intentionally. something he dedicated his life to. him being able to protect his crew, to a certain extent. and when he finally gets to see that his spell worked (?) he might not fully remember it’s significance. might not remember what he wanted. why he made that choice.)

during my relisten, i’ve really taken note that whenever any of the black rose crew are talking about the hole in the sea and what they remember, there’s some pretty big gaps in memory. they all recall falling unconscious at one point or another, and waking up somewhere else. drey struggles to remember a lot after being in the block so long. finn’s memory is waning, either from age or the effects of his spell. and initially, when chip talks about that day, he’s confident in what he remembers, and doesn’t seem to dwell much about losing consciousness and how he eventually ended up at skullslice port.

but when finn wakes up, and chip gets the third part of the map tattooed on his back, everyone’s confused. why wouldn’t it be on arlin, like they’d thought? why now?

drey says something along the lines of “why chip, though? he wasn’t even down there with us. you weren’t there, right chip?”

and chip doesn’t say anything.

i think the reason there’s so many gaps in memory is that maybe none of the black rose pirates made it out. maybe there’s a reason necromancy was involved in finn’s spell.

(THESE ARE THE RAMBLINGS OF A MADMAN BTW I DO NOT CLAIM TO HAVE A THEORY AND I MIGHT HAVE COMPLETELY MISREMEMBERED SHIT BUT I AM FULL OF SO MANY THOUGHTS)

Gryffon JRWI had a fucking great home life before he became a monster hunter and he's the single healthies member of the Albatross. He learned to crochet from his panda-grandma and learned to fish from his uncle. I like to imagine that he would have had a lot of extended family members living with him, so he'd be living with 20 people constantly.

i can't wait for jay to step off that damn teleporter and for ensa to notice and start yelling at her for bringing more people back to her damn house and for jay to be blinking blankly because she's running on adrenaline and spite and like two hours of sleep and for ensa to grab her shirt and pull her in because she's not listening and for her gloves to smear oil stains over jay's chest and her face and for them to lean in and lock eyes and kiss sloppy sty

#cough um what who said that. what #important detail the rest of the crew are standing there like business as usual except igneous who is jaw dropped live igneous reaction #jrwi riptide #jrwi #jrwi ensa #jay ferin #birdbolt #this is real and canon grizzly showed me the post-hiatus plans. you should believe me.

114 fucked me up but I think it fucked chip up even more

I've already mentioned this on twitter, but dude,,, the way chip's unconditional trust and understanding for gill led him into that trap is so fucked up and evil

when gill returns with his skin intact, chip doesn't question it. the sheer relief of having him back overshadows all the discrepancies

even when gill asks to see the leviathan bones, chip agrees to go with him, maybe somewhat reluctantly, but he understands its importance to gill

when gill asks him not to turn on the light, chip obeys without hesitation, trusting gill's judgment of the situation

when gill barricades the door, chip doesn't question it either. he believes it will make them both safer

even after discovering that it's not the real gill, chip refuses to inflict lethal harm because, in some sense, it's still gill

and as real gill is about to die, chip screams at jay to prioritize getting him out first. he even argues with real gill about this-

this episode perfectly shows chip's devotion to gill LIKE

he would willingly let gill take him by the hand and lead him into a pitch-black laboratory because, after all, why shouldn't he follow? It's gill, and gill would never trick him or intend to harm him,,,

#jrwi riptide #jrwi spoilers #they make me fucking sick #i hate them #head full so many thoughts #6 month long hiatus wouldn't be enough to process this fucking episode #also gill in the drawing doesn't have his ring on and it is on purpose yes #jrwi fnc #jrwi fish and chips
