Fics like in many a mused rhyme

Lydia straightens her shoulders. “So this is what I propose.” Betelgeuse cackles. “Poor choice of words.” “Stay with me for five years. You’ll see the world, experience things - you can scare to your heart’s content, as long as you don’t kill anybody. I just want your protection for myself and whoever I’m working with. After that time, I’ll marry you, you come alive, and you can retire to Hawaii or wherever the hell you want.” His laughter fades as she speaks until he’s just staring at her, jaw dropped and eyes wide. “So, not a poor choice of words, then.” - aka the one where betelgeuse makes a fake deal so he can spend some time with his wife and thinks this will somehow be enough. spoiler alert: it's not.
