Ahura: No! Four to five seconds!

Luna: Too late!!!

My beloved~

Franklin Richards x Luna Maximoff

So I’m basically just writing this for me and just because maybe I can get other people into the ship… And quick disclaimer, some of these points are based off things that I am inferring from the characters because they really have not been delved into enough.

This is basically a list of reasons why Franklin and Luna would work together well and some other points about the nature of the ship itself. 

Beware that this will probably be a little scattered.

Childhood friends to lovers. That’s the ship dynamic. I am honestly amazed that nobody has thought to ship this before (from what I can tell) because Luna and Franklin for years have been the two main superhero children. Their families have always been shown to be close and likely they played together as children, not to mention that they were both part of the Future Foundation at one point.

Background. Both Franklin and Luna grew up in tumultuous situations. They both know what it’s like to be the children of superheroes and to be held back because their parents wanted to protect them. (Though Franklin has not been cooped up his entire life, he’s been allowed to explore, where Luna has not.) Both of them have similar experiences, having been kidnapped multiple times by supervillains fighting their parents (which I headcanon they both have PTSD from).

Family. Both Luna and Franklin are specifically tied to their families. The Fantastic Four is Marvel’s First Family and is portrayed as a close, loving family. Luna is the only daughter of Crystal, the Inhuman princess, whose family suffers from constant infighting, and also is the daughter of Quicksilver, making her the granddaughter of Magneto (the retcon can choke). Luna’s family is anything but stable. Franklin and Luna’s family lives are opposites. Luna has practically no support from her family while Franklin suffers from too much support (in his humble teenage opinion lol). In this way they contrast and compliment each other. It’s also likely that both of them have instilled in them a strong sense family values and a want for a stable, peaceful family, which is something they have in common

Personality. Franklin (at least in the current FF run) is very cynical. Growing up the son of superheroes seems to have finally gotten to him. He’s jaded and definitely “going through a phase”. But underneath that is the boy he used to be. Someone with creativity, hope and bravery. Luna is someone who, even though she has gone through so much, has kept her kindness. She is emotionally intelligent (due to her empathy powers) and can look past someone’s outer exterior to their hearts. Underneath everything, both of them are tired kids, who somehow have managed to keep their hearts despite everything. Luna seems to have an easier time of this. But of course she hasn’t lived on earth her whole life and is still enamored by the idea of the ocean. She might be able to help Franklin see the beauty in the ordinary as to her it’s very extraordinary. But at the same time, Franklin might help to ground her more optimistic outlook on the world and together they could come to a happy balance.

And both of them are lonely. Now this is where we get into “inferring territory” because it has never been explicitly said of either of them. But in the current FF run we have seen Franklin completely isolated. He no longer has his best friend Leech with him or any of the Future Foundation members. He’s been banned from Krakoa because he’s not really a mutant (*curses Dan Slott*). The only people he has around him is his family. And from personal experience I can say that even the most kind and supportive family cannot always fill that lonely ache that comes late at night. And as for Luna…oh poor Luna. She has only ever had one friend, Adolf Impossible, who was never seen again and she went to Braddock Academy for a few weeks but did not go back. She lives on Attilan with her family, none of which are her age. Her only friend really seems to be Lockjaw…and he’s a dog… (Of course I headcanon that she’s quite close with her cousin Ahura, but that’s never been shown.) But Luna is lonely. And so is Franklin. And I figure that upon meeting each other as teenagers again, they would find some solace in one another as friends. (and in the fanfics I’m writing they are friends for a long time before getting romantic).

Note. One other thing I want to note is that Luna should not be some manic pixie dream girl to make all of Franklin’s fantasies come true and make his life better without contributing to hers. If anything, he’s the one fulfilling her dreams of being part of a big happy family (as opposed to her big dysfunctional family). Both Luna and Franklin have trauma and issues. They are not there to fix each other. They’re both going on journeys, on parallel paths that eventually converge.

Extra Reasons.

they both have glowy eyes so that’s frickin’ awesome

Luna just came out of comics limbo and looks to be about the same age as Franklin now based on her appearance

If they get married I get to tie together my two favourite Marvel families (Fantastic Four and Magneto’s Family)

They’re both rich kids.

They pass my vibe check and that’s what’s important

They both have been through so much and they deserve some happiness

I love them both and why shouldn’t I ship it?

And that’s it. <3 Feel free to message me if this brings you onto the ship. I am shipping them all by myself over here and enjoying it immensely.

#Teddy is 20 even though the avengers were present at around the time he was conceived and the avengers have existed for less than 16 years.#do skrull age fast. did the recent time travel story give him some time to grow up more some when. we just don’t know#I do want to know how old Luna is though#she was stated to be six around civil war time. that makes her 12 now#they grow up. painfully slowly#wait the young avengers who are 20 now were 16 then. she might only be ten#okay and this was all before civil war. I hate it here#marvel#comics [tags @meanstiel​ on this post]

I tried my best to break down Luna’s age progression in this post last year, after realizing that she is paradoxically the oldest and youngest out of all her cousins. 

Luna was born first, Billy and Tommy were born second, and Ahura was born last. The boys have all been aged up supernaturally, which allowed writers to refurbish the characters as adolescents and teens. It totally breaks the timeline, but that’s the point. They’re all young adults now, but Luna has been left to age naturally, which means she was stuck as a little kid for a really, really long time.

That definitely holds Luna back as a character, but at least she fits into the timeline. Pietro and Crystal haven’t really aged since the 90s, so it still makes sense for their daughter to be super young. Nowadays, Luna only shows up once every few years, but she’s a little bit older every time. In Quicksilver: No Surrender (2018) she looks like a young teen.

And in Fantastic Four #32 (pub. 2021), Crystal says that Luna has “blossomed into a young woman.” Luna mostly appears out of frame, but I think she looks like a teenager here. Maybe 14-15? Hard to say. Anyhow, that’s her most recent appearance. 

Character ages never make sense, and that’s just something we have to accept, but the arbitrary timelines that writers will set around big events like Civil War or HoxPox really break things. How am I supposed to believe that the Avengers have been around for less than twenty years, and the X-Men have only been around for ten, when there are characters on both teams who have full grown children that were born and raised within those timeframes?! Some of those kids are timewarpy and weird, like Wanda’s sons, but some of them have had fully natural lives and are just way too old to have parents under thirty.

Sorry if I asked you before. So the passage of time that is the 616 universe has always been questionable. Almost as the older one gets the slower their time is. Still if 2 characters are the same age it can be assumed that they will both get older the same year (when that year happens, no one knows). Since it looks like from Kamala Khan's recent stories she is pretty much 18, being introduced 16. So Ahura Boltagon should also be close to 18, and as a Royal should look for a partner. Anyone you would pick? Myself, Treste.

While there isn't anyone specific I would pick, I have seen your posts on Ahura and Treste, and it is a very good ship! They're the same age and while they are of different Inhuman classes, they still run in the same circles, so it's likely they know each other! She's a great choice honestly! Also, since she isn't much of a character, you can practically do anything with her, which is great. I don't think she has a set superpower yet, but they could do something great with her. Do you know what her powers are? Or do you have any headcanons on what her powers are? And I love the idea of Ahura breaking out of his own class when he marries since I think he's pretty opposed to all the class issues Attilan has. I think you said it before, but Marvel would be really smart to start focusing on the second generation of Inhumans and their attempts to fix the issues in their society. I mean, I personally, would love to see what would happen if Ahura actually got to be focused on and became king of Attilan.

Excuse me for coming up with a solution that solves everything!

Sorry to blow up your inbox so much but Young Avenger!Luna gives me so many ideas. I wanna think about a dynamic between her and Teddy. Both of them are basically alien royalty so that could lead to a possible Kree-Skrull and Inhuman alliance.

Hey don’t worry about it! I love talking about this stuff! It’s been so fun!

That is a very interesting idea though, I hadn’t thought about that somehow! I think they would get along very well! i actually think that Luna would make a great Human-Inhuman relations ambassador when she grows up, so maybe Teddy gets her into the political side of things!

The first thing they teach you at mom school is not to let your kids disturb any cursed skulls.
