MASSIVE TW FOR BODY HORROR
Also in this AU/story Collector was freed early (say around the middle of S2)
Collector stumbled back, having been slashed in the stomach by Belos; Luz rushing over and swiftly guiding them away. "I-I'm fine Luz-" the young star said with a cough, healing his wound as he spoke. King looked over, looking a bit nervous "Collie- you um..you're skin is more purple-" he pointed out with clear concern; this statement catching Lilith and Eda's attention. The older Clawthorne sister walking over to check for herself "huh..he's right, it is.." Lilith muttered, now also concerned about Collector. The young god sighed "it's fine guys, honestly" they said, it was hard for anyone to see that they were lying about this. Unfortunately for Collector however; Hooty wasn't too convinced, the bird tube knowing for a fact that skin goes purple when rotting.
A day had passed and Collector's skin had only increased in purple hue, this now being far more clear in a fight between a troup of Coven Scouts. One of the scouts shot at Collector with a crossbow in attempts to sedate the child "ack-! That..ow.." Collector murmured, the skin around the arrow peeling off as their body decayed rapidly in front of anyone. King stared in horror at the sight, almost vomiting because of it. Eda was also disturbed but held back the urge to throw up. Soon Collector's body crumpled to the ground; twisting and contorting in different ways until their head spun 180° mouth hanging open. A black, galaxy-looking mass of something pooling out of the open mouth.
"C..Collector..?" Luz said shakily, looking at the decomposed vessel on the floor. The mass of space matter looked at her "I'm sorry you had to see my true form this way you lot.." they said, Collector seemingly being the large creature before them. King was very surprised "w..what is...why did you hide this..?" He asked, looking at Collector with confusion and slight fear. Collector looked at him and sighed quietly, glancing at the body he once inhabited "I'd been in this vessel long enough..I assumed it was permanent, I also knew you'd be scared" they said, his 'body' morphing and changing shape to resemble the old body. Eda and Lilith exchanged glances just before Lilith ran up and hugged Collector "you're beautiful the way you are Collector, no need to hide it" she said, smiling softly "now, let's deal with those scouts" she added confidently.
