Reaper76 AU Idea

Reaper is a symbiote like Venom and Jack Francis Morrison is his host.

Tired military veteran who’s trying to cope with lingering PTSD gets taken over by an edgey, sarcastic, ghoul like entity that can transform him into a vigilante anti-hero.

Jack comes to appreciate the company and Reaper adores his human host. Reaper helps him cope, keeps him under control when he feels like he’s losing it, and makes him stop drinking because ew tastes gross. On the really bad days, Jack doesn’t want to get out of bed, so Reaper spends most of it wrapped around him, providing comfort and protection, makes Jack feel safe. In return, Jack agrees to get up finally and shower.. get them some food.. Doesn’t spend a whole weekend curled up in a daze like he used to.

Jack, with his strong moral compass, keeps Reaper from being too violent. And eating people. He can suck a little of their soul but not TOO much.

Their biggest hurdle is that Reaper wants to be cool and tries to get Jack to dress edgey but this country boy likes his jeans and plain t-shirts.
