I wanted to draw this meme, and when I thought about it, I came to a conclusion that character with the most kenergy is Flash. As such... this one is for @kitausuret

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITA!!! 💗💗💗
SymbiOT3 sketch for the amazing @kitausuret! It's inspired by her fic Dust to Dust, go read it if you haven't already because it is absolutely wonderful! Just can't get enough of these idiots being in love 🖤
I guess this can double as a @symbruary contribution as well 🤭 for 24: symbiote ot3, and also 17: regret/apology and 26: yearning/longing/pining, because there is A LOT of that in the sorce material (seriously, go read Dust to Dust, it's freaking splendid!)

Venom 3 concept:
Flash Thompson is here now. Romcom shenanigans ensue. Eddie says something along the lines of "Well if you like him so much why don't you just bond with him?" and Venom's like "Really? Sure!" They are bad at communicating despite literally sharing Eddie's only brain cell. Venom comes back to him and is all excited like "Eddie! He likes you!"
Eddie needs to be saved again and the kiss scene from the first movie happens, except when Agent Venom kisses him the symbiote just kind of stays between them and it lasts longer and they are all three of them gays who are gay and they love each other.
Followed by a cool ass fight scene in which they're all fighting together and Venom switches between the two hosts. They're handing it off to each other like a relay race. High fiving and shaking hands to hand it off.
The ending shot is of Eddie and Flash holding hands and Venom is covering both of their hands.

I think one of the most compelling things about the symbiot3 to me, especially when you hold off on putting them together until after vol 3 starts, is that it's not a human having to get used to a human partner with an alien - it's about a human having to get used to their alien partner being with another human.
Involving the Venom symbiote as essentially having this... string of exes makes the dynamic between human partners potentially really interesting. But, for Flash in particular, it's that he was forcibly separated from the symbiote and then to find it back with someone who, in two different identities, tried to kill them had to be pretty jarring. (Not that Eddie had a great impression of Agent Venom, either, what with the kidnapping, the being-tied-up-for-Crime-Master, the almost getting cooked alive...) Everyone's been awful to each other at some point. Like, it's messy. There's a messy dynamic all around.
But... then you remember that at some point, there was that little turning point. That moment when one realized the other wasn't such a terrible Venom awful after all.
(Venom (2011) #35 (Bunn, Shalvey); "Venom Inc: Omega" (Slott, Costa, Stegman))
But the crazy thing is when neither of them knew each other before Venom. They only ever associate each other with symbiotes - and largely, with one particular symbiote. Their shared partner, hell, their shared identity is Venom. It's for a long time the only thing they do have in common (at least, as far as they're each concerned).
Sure, there's something to be said for AUs where things go a little differently. I've read one fantastic AU where Eddie met Agent Venom and had never been Venom before, and another where Flash met Venom and at the time had never himself been Venom in the past. But making Venom their common ground... it's just something so special.
But, to kind of get back to my original point... normally you would expect like, oh, this human is getting involved in a relationship with another human being, they have to get used to this other human being a package deal. But here, it's Flash having to get used to (and maybe accept) that his symbiote partner is with someone else. He's already sweet on the symbiote. That's his partner. They've been through everything together, but Flash gradually seeing what the symbiote sees in Eddie? Flash eventually coming to fall in love with Eddie, too? Not just accepting but embracing the impact Eddie had on the symbiote, as the first host to reciprocate its love and affection?
And on the flip side, Eddie feeling everything the symbiote does for Flash, and having to try and separate its feelings from his own? The slow burn of going from assuming Flash is only hanging around him because he wants to be near the symbiote, to realize that Flash isn't that kind of guy? That Flash isn't so dead-set on his own jealousy that he can't trust that his partner is making its best choices?
Beyond that, they'll also find unique human-y things to love about each other. They see what the symbiote does, sure, but there's so much they can discover in the mundane day-to-day of human life, too. Even if the symbiote was the original thread that bound them together, and may ultimately be what they always come back to, they both also know what it's like to have to drag yourself back from the brink. They both know what it's like to hit rock bottom.
And they both know that you can't get back up without help.
(Venom (2018) #8 (Cates, Coello) ...oh Eddie, you were never second best. 💞 don't mistake affection for diminishment. props to this issue for the admittedly-brilliant use of "our other", though.)
