Hey what if Chandler and Cusack saw how much of an abusive piece of shit the DK was and decided that they would do everything in their power to protect Mel and Zel and basically kidnapped them as infants/children to raise them in a loving home somewhere in the human realm or something and half the Holy War was just the DK trying to get his pawns/weapons/sons back while the goddesses blew his constant invasions into the human, giant, and fairy realms out of proportion?

i'm just imagining like the DK reaching out his hands towards Cusak and Chandler and them repeatedly slapping his hands away XD

and of course, without Mel to pick them, the DK has to pick elite warriors themselves. (At least I'm pretty sure Mel is the one who picked them out. If not, I'm going with it anyway.)

The DK is impatient. There's only a few years where kids are impressionable enough to be manipulated easily, and time is slipping through his fingers. The warriors he picks are semi-decent, hastily chosen from strong families. Galand, being the mitochondria powerhouse that he is, makes it to the team. At first, he thinks the DK just wants his kids back, but questions as to why Chandler and Cusak ran away with them in the first place. The two caretakers are also demons, powerful ones, why would they disobey their ruler and creator?

Galand finds out why, when he hears the demon king mutter and pieces it together. And abuse of children, no matter the race, is a huge taboo for demons. Galand tells the other commandments, who have no choice but to believe Galand of Truth and from there the knowledge makes its way to the general folk, slowly turning the entire demon race against their king.

Meanwhile in Stigma, Ludociel conveniently fails to mention that the DK wants his kids back, saying that he wants to invade the fairy kings forest where they're stationed. Many who don't care enough (which is like 99% of them, also due to lack of information) buy it easily. Not Elizabeth. She knows where the DK invades regularly, and it's alway the same place, a village with no conceivable advantage in battle. It's one of the few human settlements still untouched by the war. Curious as to why the demon king of all people would want to take over, she investigates.

She discovers quickly that there are four demonic presences within the village. They were well-hidden, but as a high-ranking goddess (if not the strongest one) she can sense them anyway. They're just two kids and two elders. She figues the demon king would want his people back, but invading over and over, just for two children too young for war, and two doting elderlies? Seems fishy, but there's no way to find out more unless she talks to them.

And another detail: Without Chandler to cast absolute order, and the growing resentment against the demon king among demons, Elizabeths attempts at convincing the demons to turn back and stop the fighting are much more successful!

One who also makes it on the team of the TC is Gowther. He was always close to the royal family, and also saw the abuse second-hand, patching up wounds and bruises with magic and potions. Chandler and Cusak told the elder demon of their plans, and in fact, Gowther was the one to pick out the village they ended up staying in! Knowing that the TC are formed this time solely to get the two princes back, Gowther joins willingly and isn't imprisoned. It's the only way he gets to see the two princes, and he still makes doll Gowther to visit Chandler, Cusak, Mel and Zel under the radar.

And I just read that the DK also invades the other realms. And all I can picture is his gigantic body, only half fitting through the portal entrances (or whatever the different realms have as entrances) and going "Where the FUCK are my pawns I mean children." to whoever hears him and gets the f outta there real fast. Right after, swarms of demons trickle through (bc the DK is blocking like 90% of the entrance) to search the place before being beaten back by the resident warriors. In the case of the goddess realm, one random goddess goes "Bro, do you really think demons would even survive up here?" and DK responds "Do not question my judgement, puny goddess."

Does Pervert Elizabeth have a lot of skimpy outfits to dress Meliodas up in? Could the skimpy clothes Meliodas had for Elizabeth Liones form way back in season 1 when they first talked about her being a waitress at the bar be his own form of revenge form how she’d force him into skimpy clothes? Does he have matching sets from back during the war hidden a closet somewhere?

She really might, honestly, but the fact that he dressed her up in them right after they met implies that she didn't dress him up that often. Not often enough for him to think it would trigger her memories at least.

And yes, it absolutely could've been his own personal revenge. He probably reacted in much the same way that she reacted in the Boar Hat.

And I wouldn't put it beyond him to have kept the skimpy outfits. Elizabeth made them (or had them made) for him after all, and even though their main purpose was to fulfill Elis perverted desires, he could tell that she put effort into making them comfortable to wear for him (not counting that they barely hid anything). The outfits didn't chafe anywhere and didn't get in the way of his daily business, so practically speaking, he could've worn those outfits as his everyday clothes. His goddess is a huge pervert, but a pervert with love.

And if he kept the matching outfits hidden, that means Eli can find them, and if she finds them, she will absolutely want to dress in matching outfits with Mel. Hawk is mortified upon learning about his additional side of Elis perversion that knows no bounds. He also asks Mel why he kept them if they were so embarrassing to wear, and Mel just blushed a deep red and said 'no reason', but was very obviously lying.

Like, imagine Abbadon’s first meeting with the man his daughter was courting (cuz you know that Ellie was the one to court Meliodas that first time) and how… strange and awkward that must’ve been for him. Like, ‘oh okay my daughter is dating the most feared and hated demon in existence and acting like he’s some sort of misunderstood puppy…’ and then as the meeting passes he realizes that Meliodas… really is sorta like a misunderstood puppy. Specifically own that’s been mistreated it’s whole life and needs rehabilitation ASAP. Then it’s a sudden, ‘oh… I’m gonna adopt myself a new son out of this aren’t I…’ moment all while Seraphina is looking at him like “What the fuck do you mean, your gonna adopt him!? We gotta stop her and kill that demon!”

Elizabeth peaked into her father's study. He was reclined in his chair, eyes skimming over some book or another, his wings settled, half curled around him.

"Dad?" She asked quietly. He hummed as he looked up. "Hey, Elizabeth. Come on in, what's up?" She slipped in and closed the door behind her, walking over to the chair across from his. She pulled her legs up onto it, hands in her lap. She steeled herself, taking a breath as Abaddon marked his book and gave her his full attention.

"I'm courting someone."

He blinked, then smiled. "Really, now? That's fantastic! Tell me about him! Her? Them? What caught your eye first? What is this mystery partner like?"

"Him, you were right the first time. He's great, really! He's super sweet and kind and, honestly, he's pretty awkward, but it's cute. He loves his brother so much, and always tries to make sure he's OK, even in the midst of battle! I found him helping get a couple of kids out of harms way, that's what got my attention."

He blinked at her, then tilted his head a little. "...Are you talking about Mael? I know he's been trying to woo you for awhile now."

"No, no it's not Mael. I see him more as a sibling than anything, he's one of my best friends, but I have no romantic or sexual interest in him."

"Ok, that's fine. Then who is this mystery man? What clan is he from? You know I don't care if you court a goddess or not."

"Well, that's the part I'm a little worried about. I know you SAID you wouldn't care, but..."

"But... You're courting a demon, aren't you?"

"Yes..." her voice was a little whispy and hesitant and he smirked. "Of course you are. Alright. What's his name?"

".....Meliodas."

"...I see. And how long has this been going on now?"

"About six years now."

"Ah, that explains the change in his battle methods. He was trying to impress you, who knew? Alright, when can I talk to him?"

"...What?"

"When can you set up a meeting for us? I've engaged with him on the battlefield before, but I've never actually TALKED to the man."

She stared at him, stunned. "You're not mad??"

"Mmm... I'll admit, I'm a little startled. It's off putting, thinking that you're courting The Destroyer of all people, but it also kinda makes sense. He may be your opposite, but he's also your equal. Besides, it's YOUR love life, not mine."

"Oh..."

He laughed and walked over to kiss her forehead. "I'm glad you've found someone that makes you happy. Even if it IS our clans worst enemy. We'll work it out." She sagged and hugged him. "Thanks, Dad."

_-_-_-_-_

Abaddon was waiting In the old Heavens Theatre. It had been abandoned decades ago, and was in disrepair, but it still worked well enough as a meeting point.

He sensed the two coming before he saw them, and smiled as they landed in front of him. Elizabeth beamed at him. "Hi, Dad! Thanks for coming!" Meliodas, however, was a bit more withdrawn, watching him nervously, warily.

Abaddon smiled and stood up. "Well, you asked me to, so of course I did." He smiled as he walked forward and held a hand out to the Demon. "Abaddon, if you weren't already aware. It's nice to meet you outside of battle." He stared at his palm for a moment before tentatively clasping and giving a firm shake. "Meliodas."

His original plan was to give the Demon an only half playful shovel talk, but as he talked with him he realized that Meliodas was actually, genuinely frightened. He shouldn't have been, not really. He was plenty capable of matching him in a fight, if he thought he would attack. It dawned on him almost slowly that he was scared of REJECTION. He felt a piece of him melt a little. Demon or no, this was just another kid.

......

Gah, and he was so fucking cute too, looking at his daughter like she'd hung the moon!

Zeldris as baby. Like, not turned into baby but actually a baby

OMG YES HES THE CUTEST BABY EVER CHANGE MY MIND!!

The only reason baby zel was allowed to live was because he wasn’t born weak like all the other siblings meliodas had prior to that, The DK needed a spare in case something happened to Meliodas but because all of them where born weak and useless the DK killed them infront of meliodas showing to him that any weakness whatsoever wasn’t allowed and if he even dared to show his life could be snuffed out instantly. Because of this Meliodas grew to have a habit of not getting attached to them knowing they would just die because of how weak they were. And it was too painful remembering all of them that died. At first when zeldris was born meliodas didn’t even go near him because he thought it would just be the same thing all over again. That was until he walked by Zeldris’s room one day and felt the magical energy flowing through him. It shocked him that something so smol could hold that much power. He knew he was born strong but he never expected anyone else to match him. So feeling that and seeing just how cute he was made Meliodas fall in love with him instantly. (He was too cute to resist not that meliodas would admit that out loud) so because of that any free time he got he would sneak away to spend time with Zeldris.

At first meliodas didn’t know what to do with him he had never had a sibling live this long he was scared that the minute he did touch zeldris he would die just like the others. It took a bit but eventually he did manage to walk over to where zeldris was laying and gently rub one of his cloved fingers against his cheek. Causing Zeldris to look up at him catching meliodas off guard as he wasn’t expecting him to do that.

Demon babies can sense the magic of others which is how they know who their mother is and who they ate safe with and not. And as soon as he felt meliodas’s warm protective energy he knew he was safe with him. And instantly began to play with Meliodas’s finger. Putting it in his mouth and nibbling on it with his little baby fangs. Of course demon baby fangs are super small because they aren’t developed yet so it didn’t hurt when he did that but it still felt weird. But meliodas didn’t have the heart to take his finger away and just let zeldris do it finding it weirdly relaxing spending time with him. They stayed that way for a bit longer until meliodas had to leave to go to training as much as he didn’t want to leave zeldris he had to. So he gently took his finger out of his mouth and ruffled his hair telling the little baby he would be back later. As soon as he walked out the door he put a protective spell around Zeldris’s room protecting him in case someone or something tried to harm him. He knew better then to just trust the castle guards.

It became such as routine for meliodas to visit Zeldris that nurse maids would just let Meliodas take care of him while he was there and let them have their space. In those time meliodas let himself relax and just be himself taking care of him and holding him. It was his favorite part of the day always looking forward to spending time with his baby brother. It was the one joy he had in life (before elizabeth) and he wouldn’t let anything happen to Zeldris at least while he was there. Many time he would take zeldris to meetings or patrols around the castle and if anyone said anything or looked at him in a Nasty Way they would instantly be silenced making sure everyone knew that he was talking zeldris with him and he didn’t care what anyone said. And no one dared to say anything about it again.

They were inseparable you could always find them together No matter what. As soon as meliodas would come back from a mission or even training zeldris would toddle over to him happy to see his big brother again and meliodas each time would drop everything to pick him up and talk to him. Only zeldris got to see the soft and loving side to his brother and it made him feel special. They would spend hours together talking and just hanging out before meliodas would have to leave on another mission but not before promising zeldris that he would be back and that he would bring him back something. Making the tiny demon happy as he would wait at the window watching for meliodas to return wrapped in a blanket. Most of the time he would fall asleep but when he sensed meliodas nearby he would instantly perk up and go meet him happy to see him again.

Here's a thought I doubt anyone's ever considered before.

What if Tristan was born before the Commandments were released?

He'd be the child of a different Ellie of course, probably Liz, and Liz died shortly after giving birth to their son. As a result Meliodas showed up in Liones with two babies!

The Sins still form and all that but with the addition of Tristan being coddled by everyone because he's Meliodas' son... up until Zaratrus is killed. Meliodas doesn't have time to grab Tristan before he's teleported away so Tristan gets left behind and taken jn by Baltra. He grows up alongside his own mother as practically siblings and when Baltra is locked up and the Coup happens Trustan goes with Elizabeth to find the Sins, and also because he wants to find his father.

Relationship Goals!

The Seven Deadly Sins 01x09

I love how zeldris held up his sword to Meliodas’s throat and meliodas didn’t give two fucks meaning that zeldris has totally done this before and meliodas is desensitized to it cause he knows zeldris won’t do anything LOL

I’m just your problem AU

3000 years ago, Meliodas and Elizabeth were still courting each other in secret. Meliodas has just recently brought up that he’s been considering betraying the demon race and joining stigma and Elizabeth is ecstatic! So ecstatic she told mael all about their plans, which ludociel overheard and immediately went to tell the supreme deity

to say that SD is livid is putting it lightly. She needed to put an end to this as soon as possible. Luckily she hadn’t started physically mating with the demon scum or else she would have destroyed them in the spot. She just needed to find away to split them apart without them wanting to get back together, that will kill all remaining feelings and allow them to destroy each other without remorse.

Unfortunately the Supreme Diety was expert in this. While the Demon King was more about brute force and physical violence, the Supreme Diety was more about emotional and mental manipulation, pushing someone’s mind to the brink and watching them break into tiny pieces, it didn’t matter who she was hurting as long she gets the desired outcome, which in this case is a Holy War.

Maybe she threatens to harm Meliodas if Elizabeth doesn’t break it off. So she sends her off with strict instructions on how to do it, and curses her to never be able to tell Meliodas what she had told Elizabeth and that she’ll never be able tell Meliodas that she actually loved him. (She can tell other people but as soon as she tries to tell Meliodas or if Meliodas is near the words physically can’t come out)

That night she met up with Meliodas, he looked really happy to see her of course and had been planning to give her gift that he made. Seeing him this happy made her heart feel like it’s about to shatter into pieces, Elizabeth didn’t want to do this to him but she was terrified of what her mother would do him if she didn’t do this.

I’m sure what Elizabeth tells him exactly but it’s something along the lines of that she never actually loved him and that she was just using him to get information on the demon race and she no longer has any need for him now that he was considering joining stigma. It’s even made worse when it turns out that the Supreme Diety sent Ludociel to attack Meliodas.

Meliodas hadn’t moved since Elizabeth told him these things, he was in such emotional turmoil that he didn’t register Ludociel coming at him from behind and had gotten blasted into the nearby forest. Luckily Zeldris had followed his elder brother being suspicious about what he was up to and witnessed everything, so he jumps in to blast Ludociel into a nearby mountain. He hoists his brother up putting one Meliodas’s arms over his shoulder before aiming a vicious glare at Elizabeth, asking her if she got some sort sick pleasure from tricking and embarrassing his elder brother.

It’s… one hell of a breakup to say the least. Elizabeth will never forget the devistating look of betrayal on her now ex-lover’s face as he left with his brother. As soon as he’s gone, Elizabeth falls to her knees and screams out in grief and agony.

Meliodas returns to the demon realm with Zeldris, who’s side eyeing his elder brother in worry. He was eerily silent, his eyes were overshadowed by his hair so he couldn’t decipher what he was thinking. When Meliodas gets to his room, he silently closes the door and starts throwing everything in a rampage. It ends with Meliodas about to destroy the courtship feather she gave him, but he couldn’t do it. Tears start to pour down his face, backs up against the door, sinks onto the floor and clutches his hair sobbing.

He stays in his room for days, then the commandments under orders from the demon king go to get him out. They’re pretty nervous to go in there cuz they heard a little about what happened from Zeldris, so they’re pretty confident that if they go in there it’s gonna be hell to pay. But before they can even knock, Meliodas cracks open the door, he asks what they want in a dull tone, his voice is also hoarse. They tell him and he just says that he’s not going to see his father that day. His hair’s a mess, he has dark bags under his eyes which are red and puffy, tear tracks are still on his face. He looks like a wreck basically.

They give him a breakup pep talk, this is the first time Meliodas has ever gotten his heart broken and he doesn’t know how to stop these horrible feelings, so they encourage him to channel his heartbroken sadness and anger into getting revenge on the goddess who tricked and betrayed him. This is what kicks off the holy war with the Goddess Race wanting to eradicate the Demon Race and the Demon Race wanting vengeance on their prince’s behalf, all according to the Supreme Diety’s plan.

The Demon King is honestly a little impressed.

Unfortunately Elizabeth has to regretfully to kill Meliodas in battle because she can’t stand to see her former lover like this, so consumed by rage and grief, grief that she caused, so she puts him out of his misery.

“I’m sorry Meliodas, I’m so sorry.” Elizabeth chokes out as she stabs out his hearts one by one, tears were streaming down her cheeks as she aimed her lance for the last one. She made eye contact with Meliodas, staring deep into his green eyes one last time, eyes that glared at her in hatred. “Please forgive me.”

Meliodas growls at her, looking at her beautiful face covered in grime and blood, his blood. He felt some of her tears drop on his face, tears of pity probably, tears of guilt, why else would she cry for him, she never loved him after all. “I hate you Elizabeth.”

She sobs, “…I know.” Elizabeth brings her lance down and the dim light in his eyes goes out.

Elizabeth is stricken with grief and anger, anger directed at her mother. Elizabeth challenges her mother, wanting revenge for her lost lover, she loses her life and gets cursed in the process, a curse of immortality.

The holy war ends with the demon race locked away in the seal and the goddess race losing their physical bodies.

3,000 years pass and Elizabeth is the leader of the seven deadly sins, the sin of wrath. The demon race gets released from the seal of eternal darkness and Melascula does her whole resurrection thing, but she finds a very familiar soul, a soul she hasn’t seen in over 3,000 years and Melascula thinks it’s about time that he gets his revenge on a certain annoying goddess and her friends.

I had an idea that's stupid and probably like 50% crack.

Tristan as a teenager, right? And he's very mischievous and constantly getting into things he should not be. Ends up finding some sort of cave system, follows it for shits and giggles, finds a long abandoned chamber with a large rune circle on the ground.

He's curious and is investigating it when it activated and WOOPS, he gets sent whirling back in time. Where does he land? Right between his parents.

But not Mama and Papa. No, not even Mel and Ellie.

Bloody Ellie and Meliodas the Destroyer. Before they became even FRIENDS, much less lovers. When they were still enemies. And Tristan just fell out of a portal in the sky, yelling and just barely managing to pop his black, feathered wings out and slow his fall before he crashed into the ground in the middle of their battle.

They both pause. They're always unphased by surprise attacks of ANY nature, but this was just... weird. Both their weapons, Meliodas’s Spear and Elizabeth's Naginata, are pointed at him, and he yelps, hopping up to his feet and back a bit and putting his fists up, magic activated.

One green eye, one blue eye, turned black and gold respectively. Large, feathery wings like a goddesses, but black like a demons. An ark gathered at one fist, hellflame twisting around the other.

They stare at each other for a moment, Tristan growing more and more pale, before they demand, in perfect unison: "What ARE you?"

And he sounds very strained, face pinching, ad he says "Ahh... You two are gonna kill me..." And he's not sure if he means THESE two, or his parents when they found out where he's gotten off to this time.

“You better give us a better answer than that if you don’t want me to silence you right now!” Meliodas growls out, pointing his blade threateningly. Tristan bites his lip before saying,

“What are your chances of believing I’m from the future?”

…Ya know, I think TC Meliodas would be less of a jerk if he had a three headed hellhound as pet.

Like if I had a three-in-one dog I definitely wouldn’t treat people like crap, especially if said dog grows to be fucking gigantic and rlly fully but that’s just me talking.
