Work Text:
Once upon a time, there was a God of Love and Mirth who was in love with the God of Storytelling. His name was Thespius Green and He was filled with both Love and Mirth from His days as a mortal to when He became a God of both Domains. He held His tongue about His feelings for Click Clack but found His voice with the help of a Godpoke before the apocalypse that almost was.
But sometimes…
Sometimes He is a singer who woke up and clawed Himself out of a grave as a reanimated corpse and was hit by a car driven by the one He would love and Their eccentric friend.
Sometimes He died before Ascending and His love and dear friends carried Him up the Spire to fulfil His last wish to Ascend.
Sometimes He died and the Grove was given a God of Grief in His stead, Their tail shaped like a chrysanthemum.
Sometimes He found a vhs tape and discovered a way to pull a lonely cartoon out of it and into His world.
Sometimes He was guided into the realm of Gods by His masked lover after making a deal and was given the body of a puppet on strings.
Sometimes He met His love long after His Ascension and watched as They helped expand Hobbyhoo beyond the Hills and discovered Themselves in the process.
Sometimes He is allergic to peanuts and His lover comforts Him when He succumbs to the urge to eat a chocolate cup filled with peanut butter, allowing Him to comfort another God with a similar affliction.
Sometimes He was declared illegitimate and His divine blood was spilled from lips sewn shut with red thread.
Sometimes His lover became two and He does what He can to comfort Them as They adjust to Their new lives apart but connected with a thread, pushing Himself to the limit of what He can tolerate from Them.
Sometimes He wore a body made of plants on a mission to help a long lost God and discovered that He had feelings for a former God as He learned more about Him.
Sometimes He and His newfound lover died together, holding hands as They turned into nothing but stardust.
Sometimes Thespius was forced to watch as all of the other Gods save Inspekta were ripped from the Rift and He was the last God to hold on to the Rift to protect all of creation as the others fought to get back to Him.
Sometimes Thespius and Click Clack had a physical effect on their people, giving them deer legs in the Hills and the ability to glow in black light in the Strip.
Sometimes He and His love were pirates, sailing the ocean for treasure and fun with the others.
Sometimes the Spire falls and the ocean becomes toxic but Thespius still has Click Clack to help Him guide their people to Earth.
Sometimes He and His love write a musical to commemorate how the Rift almost swallowed all of creation.
Sometimes He and His love die and are reborn in a newly created universe, given the chance to do it all over again.
Sometimes He and His love flee France from a swan based cult, free from their claws and able to prosper in the Grove.
Infinite stories. Infinite ways to tell them. Thespius Green and Click Clack were changed and shaped according to the wishes of the ones telling their story.
And the one thing that remained constant was that they were all in one way or another love stories.
