The best part about offscreen deaths is that they’re so easy to dismiss and headcanon as faked.

Kazuhira Miller is, indeed, alive.

Ocelot went after him with every intention of killing him, but when it came time to do the honours, he couldn’t do it. Obviously these two aren’t friends, but they did have a working relationship for some time and came to know one another quite well, and despite their disagreements, were aligned by the same goals for quite a while.

So Ocelot gets a sudden wave of nostalgia and decides against killing him, and instead he doses Kaz with tetrodotoxin (which is actually a neurotoxin, so that part is arguably 100% canon).

So he makes it look like he killed Master Miller (for Liquid’s sake) – shows him the body and everything, and then Liquid goes really quiet for a long moment and just stares at the body in a sort of detached state and maybe whispers something like “He was the only man who ever showed me compassion” then snaps out of it and gingerly takes Kaz’s sunglasses off of his face.

Catherine ends up walking in, sees her father’s body and tries to rouse him, but the moment she realizes he’s “dead” Ocelot comes up behind her and sedates her so she won’t see her assailants’ faces. She finally wakes up and the house is empty save for her and her dead father, and later when Ames sends the agent to Miller’s home, he discovers Catherine sitting in a catatonic daze next to her father’s body.

When FOXHOUND claims the body, Ocelot sneaks in and extracts Kaz and swaps him out with a random corpse, which is cremated before an autopsy can be performed due to a “clerical error.”

When Kaz wakes up, Ocelot has made arrangements for him to make a discreet escape, just like he did for Big Boss in 1984. He informs Kaz that they’re even now, and they go their separate ways. Kaz doesn’t know who to trust anymore or who all still wants him dead, so he goes into hiding indefinitely.

Kaz returns to Mother Base, which was never decommissioned and has since been abandoned, and recruits a new army and continues the dream that Big Boss never could quite finish as a final fuck you to him. 

Special Agent Catherine Miller; FBI dedicates her life investigating the cold case of a murder that didn’t actually happen.

Yay super fucked up headcanon!

You know how Kaz’s hair is like perfect when you go to rescue him, even though he’s been tortured for days? Well, trivial details like this make my mind start to wander, and I was thinking about what might have happened to him while in captivity, and the popular hc is him being gang raped by the Soviets, which is a pretty reasonable idea.

But what if there was just one soldier who’s just seriously fucked up, like he’s into dollification and is an amputation fetishist and he becomes unhealthily obsessed with Kaz. It starts out pretty tame, like this soldier comes in and gently brushes Kaz’s hair everyday, and Kaz is like wtf so he fights back because what the hell?? Soldier doesn’t like this, so he starts drugging Kaz so that he’s still conscious but just kinda catatonic and pliable. And there are no showers available but soldier tries his best to clean Kaz up with a damp cloth, then maneuvers him into different poses and hand feeds him and helps him go to the bathroom (gotta get that humiliation fetish in) and essentially assumes control over every part of Kaz’s body.

And then Kaz wakes up naked and face down with his hand and foot tied to the bed with a pillow under his hips to prop his ass up and he can’t really panic because he’s too drugged up, but he just silently starts crying as soldier lubes him up.

And it’s not even rough, because soldier is obviously v fucked up and has this delusion that Kaz is his very own fuckdoll and they’re in a consensual but loving sub/Dom relationship and so he proceeds to gently rape him, stopping in between to dry Kaz’s tears and reposition him to make him comfortable. And this happens repeatedly everyday, and it’s such a mindfuck because Kaz is accustomed to being handled roughly and it’s really insulting that this soldier fucks him with such care and then meticulously cleans him up and lovingly brushes his hair afterwards.

Sometimes soldier muses about cutting off Kaz’s other limbs and turning him into a true, subservient fuckdoll, and Kaz can’t even plead with him because he’s so drugged up so he just cries softly and soldier dries his tears and holds him and all Kaz wants is to be able to fight back because this Sick Fuck is acting like it would be this huge favour and that Kaz would enjoy it.

So finally Venom rescues Kaz and after the drugs wear off he’s just like SHIT SHIT STD TEST FUCK (because I also have this hc that despite popular opinion, Kaz was suuuuuper meticulous about safety/protection because of his mom, so being raped he lost all control over keeping himself clean and it’s just the Worst Possible Thing In The World because he’s gone this long without catching anything) and, idk, maybe he gets lucky and he’s still clean but he ends up having severe impotence problems because of it and it’s tough for him to be intimate with V but V is his typical patient, understanding self so he’s able to coax Kaz out of it over time.

BUT YEAH KAZ BEING RESCUED WITH PERFECT HAIR LED TO THIS seriously what is wrong with my brain

What if Kaz’s daughter became a cop

Also I think about grown up Catherine a lot and the type of person she’d turn out to be. I don’t think she’d do the military/mercenary thing per se – tbh I see her so deeply affected by her father’s death that she studies criminal justice and idk maybe foreign relations at university, then gets accepted to Quantico and becomes a detective for the FBI. (Tell me you don’t see adult!Catherine in a tailored suit with a badge at her hip, complete with Daddy’s trademark scowl when she’s about to question someone) 

And her personal side project when she’s not working is investigating her father’s cold case with the hope of eventually getting revenge, hoping that anyone even remotely involved might still be alive, or at least as some way for her to get closure. I see her going to question people who might have known her dad and them getting all weird and nostalgic, like “Holy god, you look just like him” and maybe moving in a little too close/touching her face but unlike her father, she’s frigid and emotionally closed off (for obvious reasons) so she just kinda stiffens and stonewalls them while keeping her hand on the gun at her hip and very curtly tells them to sit down because she just wants to ask them a few questions. And it sounds more like a threat than anything else.

Occasionally though, if you really set her off, she has her daddy’s spitfire temper, and she’ll unleash merciless rage/violence on you if you’ve pushed her too far or don’t give her what she wants in a timely manner. This was demonstrated once when she nearly killed a suspect while “interrogating” him and was put on temporary suspension. She’s a friggin loose cannon for sure, but she’s a damn good agent and while of ambiguous moral standing, she’s ultimately one of the good guys, just like her dad. She just uses questionable methods sometimes to maintain the balance, as it were. 

Good lord, Special Agent Catherine Miller, yet another thing to add to the daunting list of ‘fics I need to write.’ 

tbh I’ve always kinda thought that the whole thing with Kaz’s eyes is that he got some benign form of the parasites that allows him to see in infrared. That’s why he can totally see Quiet when she’s shadestepping but he’s obviously not telling anyone about it because of the stigma on parasites. 😦

And while he can also see normally, extreme light hurts him and gives him migraines. But yeah he’s totally rockin’ that Predator-vision.

Dude you know what. I think about tpp Kaz topping all the time. I imagine him and Venom during foreplay, and prep is kinda difficult when you’ve only got one hand so I like to imagine V helping Kaz by unscrewing the lube for him and helping him lube up his fingers/dick, &c. For some reason that visual is just super hot to me. =D

g-ambit:

Now this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted. Good.

It just kills me to imagine how frustrating it must be, going from being the sexually hyperactive type of person who has tried everything at least once he used to be to barely being able to move around by himself in TPP.
His only real chance of fully enjoying topping again would probably be with Venom, where they would trust one another enough for this kind of things, and wouldn’t need to have a long talk about it because they understand eachother that much. Venom doesn’t talk much and Kaz doesn’t feel like he has to impress him when they fuck.

But when it comes to one night stand and quick fucks with others, I imagine him to be very closed on himself when that happens, probably making it so it’s done as fast as possible and with very little talk, he’s not here for feelings, he just need to fuck someone hard. But with only one remaining hand he knows his amazing lover reputation took a big hit. He can’t settle on where and how to touch the other, now he has to make a choice every time, does he want to hold them down? pull their hair or jerk them off? Fingering someone and not being able to anything else while doing it would take him so long to get used to. Same for which position to use. He used to love it when people would ride him but now the position just makes him feel weak. At least he still has both his knees…

I love to imagine he can’t even properly get himself off anymore, he can’t stroke and finger himself at the same time, can’t cover his mouth when he starts to make those noises, he’d probably only masturbate when it seems like the only way to deal with too much frustration.

Kaz becoming more and more aggressive and sexually frustrated and depending on Venom for finding real relief.

oh man oh man yeah and like I can totally see Kaz getting really frustrated with masturbation too because he has to relearn how to do it without his dominant hand and just. HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER TRIED TO JERK OFF WITH THEIR NON-DOMINANT HAND JUST FOR THE SAKE OF EXPERIMENTATION? THAT SHIT’S SO DIFFICULT. I imagine him trying to jerk off for the first time after being rescued and trying really hard to find the same rhythm/angle he’d used before but not quite getting it, then ultimately getting frustrated with it and giving up.

Also I imagine him possibly having impotence issues for a while too because that’s a typical side effect of trauma and I see him having a huge emotional breakdown over it because he’s a man who’s essentially placed a great amount of his self-worth in his virility so now he doesn’t even feel human anymore. Only when V is able to coax him out of it and get him reacquainted with physical contact again does he start to come back to life a little.

I also have this little headcanon where he initially does try out a bionic arm because he wants to be active and affectionate like he used to be, and he wants to be able to touch Venom/any other potential partners the way he used to, but he ends up being really disappointed with it because there’s no actual sensation in bionic fingers so he can’t really touch them and it completely defeats the purpose. Also jerking off with cold metal is just really unpleasant to him and he can’t imagine anyone wanting to be touched by cold hard mechanics and he has this minor existential crisis so he flips his shit and like yanks the prosthetic off after the first try and flings it across the room because he’s so disappointed and frustrated at it being such a poor substitute for flesh and blood.

But then this is also why he finds so much comfort in Venom because V knows exactly what he’s going through since he’s already gone through it himself and can help Kaz cope and coach him through the entire process.

Jesus I may write a fic about this.
