So in OHtMF, when Maxie and Archie get kidnapped and forced into working for Team Galactic, Jupiter kind of has a thing for Archie. Obviously, our favorite water loving man ain’t having none of it. I just find their dynamic very entertaining and Maxie’s reaction to her is great.
they went for a swim

Little cute Hardenshipping I did based on this post by the author of OHtMF:
Link to fic
@ghostlyfluffster @authorazumarill
So, uh, I made this because I felt like it… We have Magma Leader Maxie, Galactic Commander Mercury Maxie, and Post OHtMF Maxie (who I made myself BTW)
Oh yeah, basically all of this is fanart of this awesome Hardenshipping fic:
This Commander Mercury is from before he and his Archie…”reconciled” after months of forced actions and anxiety and stress. And Archie at that time was…let’s say not good, and seeing the man you love not good is dreading.
Trauma fucks you up.
They just can’t get enough of him, can’t they.
And also:
(Can you guys even read my writing?)
And here’s the full thing:
Eugh… extra space…
More stuff I wrote about them bellow:
Team Magma Leader Maxie
Ruthless snobby leader of Team Magma.
Has yet to admit his compassion in a genuine and open way.
Believe in humanity a bit too much.
Well reserved, hair smooth and clean as well as his clothes.
Has yet to realize how much of a dick he is.
Wants Archie thrown into a volcano more than anything and refuses to believe he would marry anyone other than a volcano.
Can't swim for dick.
Although he calls Archie a psycho, he himself has yet to realize he too is a psycho.
Age: late 30s
Team Galactic Commander Mercury Maxie
Kidnapped by Galactic and forced to work for them after months of hiding in Sinnoh with Archie.
Let himself go a bit (too stressed to care at this point, so his hair is a mess.)
Fueled with anxiety.
The man he loves is going through Depression, and is the only thing he can think about.
Has also yet to make amends with him. (Basically before they fucked for the first time.)
Has yet to call Archie his lover out loud (Thanks insecurities!)
Has never felt so powerless in his life.
Realizes how his life as Xavier Manchester (his alias) is the life he wants.
Tired. Just tired.
Misses his Pokemon
Has a recent new fear of drowning.
Age: Early 40s
Post OHtMF Maxie (6 years later) (made him myself BTW)
Living his best life with Archie
Engaged to Archie
Free from his charges of Team Magma.
Never been so happy in his life.
Is regularly dying his hair brown, like he's still playing as Xavier
No longer takes pleasure in believing in humanity. Now takes pleasure in living and being with the ones he loves.
Reconnected with his mother.
Open to change, like new hairstyles and hobbies or jobs, like teaching.
The hairstyle he has now is recent.
Has let himself go a bit. It's not very noticeable but he is not as skinny as he used to be.
Has learned to swim thanks to Archie.
Has overcome the grief of losing Camerupt. (HC that Camerupt dies at the end of OHtMF)
Age: Late 40s
Little Lucas (from OHtMF)
Now living a new life as regulars can still drag you into some crap you’d never thought you’d do. Like babysitting.
Dawn
Lucas Kouki of Sinnoh
I never thought I’d ever cared for Lucas if it wasn’t for the OHtMF fic. This is mostly my head canon version of Lucas.
He’s the sweetest cinnamon roll
He loves Pokémon and his friends to death.
Unfortunately easily frightened.
Stupid determined.
Can beat god, but doesn’t think he can.
I love this fic and these two so much.
Here are some concepts I made of Maxie and Archie as Galactic Commanders in OHtMF fic.
Tehir designs are said subtly in the fic, but I altered their designs a little here. Especially Archie’s outfit, most of it was originally made by me.
Is it bad to be obsessed with a single fanfic for almost half a year now?
Do I need to seek help?
Anyway, I’m saying this because I have fallen head over heels over a Hardenshipping fix lately called Oh How the Mighty Fall on AO3.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/16201007/chapters/37863323 I highly recommend it during this weird craze I’ve been seeing where people are “reviving” the fandom of it.
