Someone (*ahem* weeaboomec1 on Twitter) requested Fitch crying so I thought I’d share one of my personal headcanons for him:
Fitch once had a partner, who he considered his soulmate. They were newlywed with a child on the way. But his partner was murdered, along with their unborn child.
In ZP, I headcanon the murderer to be Phineas since it’s obvious the two have it out for each other.
In his grief, Adina saw an opportunity, and approached him with a proposition: He becomes a hunter under her command, so he can learn to track and slay demons with the weapon she gave him. Fitch agrees so he can one day slay Phineas.
In HH, I headcanon the murderer to have been a home intruder who Fitch had then killed in a blind rage, which ended up sending him to Hell after he passed away from his own defensive wounds. Adina, again seeing an opportunity, came to Fitch with a proposition, he becomes her hunter and slays demons to earn his way into heaven. Fitch agrees in order to one day reunite with his partner, and on the condition that Hatchet is spared from the annual cleanse and goes to heaven as well. Adina agrees, never intent on holding her end of the deal.
Yea yea it’s cliche and it’s cheesy but
