Hiiii!!!! I have an idea! Imagine like getting married to leon/going through the whole process of wedding shopping etc with him. Also do you think he would cry at a wedding? I love your works sm you're so talented I hope you have a great day/night! 💗
leon kennedy x gn reader
Anon... You don't know how much I enjoy thinking about Leon getting married and all those sappy things. It's like you read my mind. And thank you so much ueueue. I'm glad you like my works. <3
I feel like Leon would act really calm and collected in front of you. Even cracking some jokes about not having anything planned out for the wedding. But Dear God that is far from the truth. 
But first, let’s talk about everything before the whole preparation. Leon would definitely struggle to get the right ring size for you. Acting smooth? Not in his dictionary. At first, he’d try it when both of you are ‘sleeping.’ He once read someone could get the exact size by wrapping a string around his partner’s finger.
He tried.
It was unsuccessful. 
You either shifted in your sleep or he couldn’t get the right angle to wrap the thin string.
Ultimately, he just asked you to try some rings, just for funsies… Of course. 
Now, after the exhausting task of buying the ring and actually asking you to marry him, he'd be delighted to start organizing the wedding.
At first, he'd try to brush it off by saying that both of you should go with the flow, not to stress over the wedding. But his old-ass would discover Pinterest and a new world was presented for him. His favorite late-night activity would be searching for wedding ideas and he takes his job very seriously.
Glasses and all, he’d hold his cell phone so close to his face for you not to notice him. Poor guy doesn’t know that you can see through the reflection of them. Usually, he’d leave all the decorations to you, even when you two decided to move in together since he lacks creativity. But a wedding involves two people, and that day is just as special for him as it is for you.
Eventually, he understands he doesn’t need to feel bashful. All of his life has been surrounded by destruction and violence, he may as well indulge in the domesticity and the tranquility of finally settling down with someone he loves.
Leon is a foodie, so his favorite appointments are the ones in which both of you have to try the dishes you want to serve at your wedding. Growing up, he didn’t get to eat home meals, and even when he first started the Police Academy most of his meals consisted of takeouts or food he’d prepare himself. So the mere task of devouring those plates for the sake of the wedding was a great excuse.
He wouldn’t wear a suit and you wouldn’t force him either. However, that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t put some effort into how he looks. Part of the wedding planning included a visit to his most trusted barber! He’d definitely shave to look clean in the pictures, but his hair would remain the same.
Leon talks to you and shares his thoughts about the wedding reception. Flashy and showy types of settings aren’t his thing so he suggests going for a beach wedding. The suggestion soon turns into persuasion. He’d show you videos of people getting married on the beautiful Caribbean beaches, or some perfect attires for the beach.
“Oh, it seems that my phone is spying on me or something.” He glances a subtle look at you to see if you’re listening to him. By the tone of his voice, you already know what he is implying.
“Why is that?” And when you finally look at him, you see how his smiles get wider. Of course he got you.
“Because… YouTube won’t stop showing me beach wedding videos. How crazy it is, right?”
So, Leon’s pleas are heard and you decide to go for it. Although, something you both agree on is the fact that it needs to be private, just friends and family.
And yes, he definitely cries at the wedding. One thing he kept from his religious past is the vows, he promises you a future in which he is going to be next to you no matter what. So, in the middle of his speech, his voice would crack, a tiny bit. Clearing his throat he acts like nothing happened but everyone could notice how emotional he is.
Overall, Leon would be delighted to take this next step with you. The last thing he expected in his life was to find love in this messed-up world. And don’t get me started on how Leon would be as a husband because that man is husband material through and through! I’d write a whole essay just for him.

Hi Ruby! Imagine going undercover with Leon and having to act like an established couple. I feel like that would be so funny, imagine having to take wedding photos and sleep in the same room together, etc. I feel like he would be totally open to being in a domesticated setting, especially if he had a cat.
(Me encanta tu escritura, Sigue escribiendo, espero que tengas un excelente día/noche!!! 🤍🫶🏽)
(I am deeply sorry for replying so late 😭😭 I've had so much work to do, and I barely had time to actually write something. Thank you so much for your words by the way! I get so happy when I receive compliments like these! También ten un lindo día corazón 😽😽)
gender neutral reader
Moving on, that idea sounds so interesting! There's something about fake dating that makes every writing a lot better and now you ask me about fake MARRIAGE? Straight up my thing I'll eat this whole as if it were my last meal.
So, I don't know why but as soon as I read your ask and registered your words I immediately thought about Damnation Leon… Like I see that man and he's just so fake marriage coded, type of I'll put a ring on your finger but I'll act like I don't know you the second we get home.
So, let's imagine. You and Leon are sent to a mission in which you have to act as a married couple to infiltrate and steal information from a company.
The whole objective doesn't really matter when your agency provided you with the most realistic experience of being a married couple. A nice house, almost mirroring the perfect family. In front of others, Leon would take the role of a doting husband, holding doors open, taking your hand and showing off his perfect partner to 'everyone.' But as soon as you're indoors, he'd act like nothing happened.
I can't picture him being mean or grumpy, but he'd definitely act nonchalantly. What do you mean he complimented the way you did your hair? No, he did not do that. You're crazy.
And don't get me started on the rings. He'd proudly wear them, outside and inside your shared home. After a day on the job trying to retrieve the information and collecting clues, the ring stays on his finger even when both of you come to your house. Eventually, he doesn't take it off. You would find him absentmindedly fidgeting with his ring, playing with it while he waits for the food to heat up.
This little tradition continues with you placing your ring next to his when both of you go to sleep. And talking about having to share a room, well… he doesn’t dislike the idea of sharing a bed. The trope of there's just one bed but we have Leon internally screaming “Yes!” when he first realized.
Overall, I feel like it would be the perfect opportunity for Leon to indulge in domesticity, the one thing he's always sought. Having someone next to him each day is such a blessing for him, like a reminder that maybe he indeed has something else rather than the whole word to fight for.
And, I could definitely see Leon to continue “acting” like a husband, even when the mission was done. The house doesn't need to be sold, he'd tell you. In fact, maybe you both need a cat, a scruffy cat to be specific.
So, in the end, you ‘have to’ share your home with Leon and an adopted cat. Life works in mysterious ways.

Okay but imagine Leon having a hispanic/latino s/o? Like him being introduced to their family at parties and having to memorize all the cousins, him falling in love with all the aspects of their culture. Also i feel like he would love gustavo cerati???? Coming from a latina (boricua y dominicana) this has me kicking my feet and giggling!! Ly 💗!! - 🐚
Hi! This is the first time someone claimed an emoji! I feel so excited, hehe.
And I just noticed I often reply to these asks with just my thoughts not knowing if any of you want a whole fic 😭 If you want one let me know ‘cause I'm dense.
Regarding Gustavo Cerati… you're so real 🐚 anon. In fact, I'm preparing a post which is basically hispanic music I think Leon would like. And let me tell you, there are A LOT OF Cerati's songs. If you guys want to share your thoughts/suggest some artists or songs you're welcome to do so. 🙏🏻
Anyway, I could definitely see Leon being overjoyed dating someone hispanic/latino.
The term itself is really broad, so I'm going to leave the details of the culture as ambiguous as I can so everyone can imagine their own.
leon kennedy x gn reader (reader speaks spanish)
Leon himself isn't someone who actually got to spend his childhood and younger years next to a family, or at least a loving one. So, when he met you, he slowly discovered your upbringing and how beautiful your culture was.
It started with little things. When you first mentioned Leon where you come from, he'd search for one thing he really enjoys—music! He fully believes art is the door to a culture, so there's nothing better than getting to know your country by its artists and songs.
He'd need to translate them, though. He barely knows how to say hello in another language. But then again, he tries his best to actually engage in your culture and show genuine interest.
While he navigates through the songs, typical dances, and festivities, the next step is obvious. As your relationship gets more serious, you'd tell him that your family wants to meet him. He isn't scared, not all. He's actually really excited at the prospect of meeting your relatives and taking such a serious step with you.
However, he is nervous about something.You had previously told him that your family was big, and while it didn't bother him, he isn't confident about his ability to remember names.
Poor boy would be the target of your family's teasing. As soon as he enters your home, some of your relatives would give him a pat on his back, seeing how nervous he is. The whole experience would be overwhelming but in a good way.
You'd introduce him to every family member. He'd say his name as best as he could (He asked you to teach him a bit of Spanish, to at least impress some of your relatives).
Very basic and broken Spanish: “Hola yo me llamo Leon, ¿Cómo estás tú?” Baby is trying his best, and everyone could see how much respect he holds for their culture and language.
He's really respectful in every aspect you could think of. When the little mingling comes to an end and hunger starts to brim in each one of your relatives, Leon would be delighted to try everything.
As soon as he starts eating, there are two outcomes. A) He really likes the food. B) He doesn't like it. For the first scenario, he'd devour the plate. Having something prepared with so much seasoning and love was something foreign to him. He'd whisper and ask you to tell your mom if he could fetch himself another serving. He's too shy for his own good.
For the latter, he'd still remain as respectful as he could. It's okay not to like certain things, and while he tries to finish his plate your family would joke about how he couldn’t handle the spice (even if it wasn't spicy in the first place.)
His favorite activity to do with your family is to see your childhood photo album. They would pull out embarrassing photos of yourself, but he'd think you look lovely. In moments like these, he gets to bond with your family even more, feeling himself blending with them and being part of a family he always longed for.
Overall, Leon would find himself falling in love with you and your culture. No matter how different it's from his own upbringing, he'd be honored to share moments getting to know everything about your country.

Hi Ruby! Do you have any recs for leon/chris? Kinda in a reading stump right now 😔🫶🩵 -🐚
Hiii! And I get you, I have barely read anything related to Leon these last few weeks since nothing has caught my attention, but !!! I can recommend you some of my favorite fics here.
For Chris I only have one which is Blizzard by @lightning-hawke . I really really love it!
For Leon I have just two (For now). I tried to keep it as *tame* as possible since I don't really know what you like in fics but these ones are definitely my favorites!
Lord knows it would be the first time by @kianely lives rent free in my head! I don't know if they are still active but all of their works are top tier for me.
I also really like @leonw4nter fics. If I had to choose I would say I love you without wax. Forever yours, Leon is definitely my favorite. If you're in the mood to cry, give it a chance.

Oh my- in the most refined of expressions, allow me to convey a sentiment akin to "most venerable mother of god," as I respond to your proposition with a measure of astonishment. I extend my sincere gratitude for your considerate offer, and in navigating this social terrain, I find myself traversing with a cautious curiosity. If I may, let us contemplate the prospect of an extended hand-in-hand communion; only if you have the predisposition to do so, of course.
However, I must add, contemplating the thought of prolonging our shared tactile connection beyond a second and a half, I venture to express a degree of restraint; recognizing that such an extended period of time of holding hands may border on undue indulgence. My intent is not to appear avaricious but rather to acknowledge the collective desire of others who await their turn in this intricate dance of human connection. Let us navigate this delicate balance with grace, ensuring not only our own fulfillment but also affording the opportunity for fellow seekers to partake in the shared warmth of handclasps.
Greetings,
I hope this letter finds you well. 
I’m more than joyous to know that we can engage in this hand-in-hand affection. However, your hesitation led me to ponder about my proposition. Was it too forward? Please, forgive me if so. I never intended to inconvenience you. 
Nonetheless, as I keep reading your letter I came up with another conclusion. That perhaps your mind was flooded with questions about a third party. Please, do not fret about any other individuals for the moment; as I haven’t received any other proposal to hold hands. 
My invitation still stands, and I’d be delighted if you could accept my humble display of amiability.

Excuse me, I don't wanna be rude or impolite; but, by any chance, like- it's okay if you're uncomfortable with it, I mean, it's a very personal petition, theres no problem, like,, it's not necessary if you don't feel like it, seriously, I know it can be hard to do this and may require some effort and time, and time is gold. I mean, I'm not usually like this, I'm nicer, but like- nicer, NICER, but uhm well, I think you're not one of those who overreact or anything, although, of course that doesn't mean you can't do that, and it's completely ok if you do so after hearing me out. I think I'm being very clear with what I'm communicating, I have always been very confident and straightforward, and this is not an exception at all.
The thing I wanted to ask, is that- by any chance, like, you don't mind doing this at all and I'm not getting you in trouble for this, I mean, it's completely okay if you refuse; could you- I mean, if you can't there's no problem at all, what I'm trying to say is that would you mind if we- like, again, it's okay if you're uncomfortable to do so, I'm not forcing you to do anything, but would you mind, would you care, would you be so kind to actually kind of uuh uhm like uuuhm uhh mmh uuh like, I mean, there's no problem if you say no, but like can we,, can we hold hands?? For- for like, less than a second, no need to actually grab my hand and squeeze it, my hands are a bit sweaty, and even more now that I dared to tell you this. That's it, yeah, I was pretty forward, right? I'm not insecure at all, well, I hope you have a good night, or day, or afternoon. 😊
PLEASE I READ THE FIRST PART THINKING I FUCKED UP SOMEHOW 😭😭😭😭
but what if we hold hands for more than a second? maybe two or three if you'd like. Hope I'm not too straightforward either. 😶

Hi Ruby honey. Wanted to ask for numbers 4 & 11 of the writer ask game if you want to answer. 🫶
Also, I wanted to send this in a separate ask but I figured I’d combine it out of convenience. I wanted to tell you that my personal favorite fic of yours is probably Retrospection & Outcome. I don’t know how you managed to write something like that, but it really is amazing in all senses of the word. I revisit it from time to time, and if someone were to ask me what’s a piece of work I’ve read that I’d recommend to anyone, it would be that fic. Thank you for writing in general, love reading everything you come up with. 🩶
Nic honey, hi !! 🩷🩷
4. a story idea you haven't written yet.
I don't know if this could classify as a story idea but I've been dying to write about Leon as an accidental sugar daddy haha. I even posted about my desire to write that idea.
11. a WIP you'd like to finish someday.
I'd like to have time to finish my kindergarten teacher!Leon x kindergarten teacher!Reader. I used to be sooo excited to write it but I guess there's just not enough free time for me to do it.
fic writers ask
And thank you so much ☹️☹️ Retrospection & Outcome is definitely the fic I love the most. I remember I spent nearly a month and a half writing it (Especially the smut part since I'm so self conscious about my writing haha)
And I could say the same to you, Nic! I love how you view Leon through the different aspects of his life. You write so... human? And on top of that, you're so creative! There are certain topics in which I just wow because I would have never thought about them before.
Ly! 🩷🩷🫶🏻

12, 16 and 20 for the ask game? 💜
Hi !! Thank you so much for the ask. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🫶🏻
12. A trope you're really into right now.
I've been dying to read more Las Plagas Leon fics. I've always been into them but these last few days I was like "I wish there were more" since I'm a bit picky on how I like them to be written.
16. favorite place to write.
Definitely my room since I have enough privacy to write and to listen to music. But I'd also say I love writing when I'm coming back from work.
20. in what year did you publish your first fic?
If we're talking about the very first fic I posted... It was in 2016. But we can't call THAT thing a fic (I won't even say the fandom I wrote it for... I was 13 for God's sake 😭😭😭😭)

Ooh! So we are doing that "what is your favorite work of mine?"
Your recent fics had me punching the ceiling and creaming my bed, I'm looking at you, The Old Way, but if I had to choose, I really really really really really really really really really but like- REALLY love Restrospection & Outcome. Whatever character analysis you made there for Leon, you NAILED IT, truly 10/10, sometimes I have flashbacks and have to reread the part I remembered.
Hey anon!
Funnily enough "The Old Way" was also one of the fic I first HATED. I remember I was at the verge of deleting it completely before I decided to post it.
The main reason was that I've never written something of that sort. Yes I've written smut before but I've never said anything about my... liking to breeding lmao.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. Retrospection & Outcome is like my child... I gave birth that to that baby... I truly loved and continue doing so.
tell me what's your favorite work of mine

Hi Ruby!! Hru? Are you feeling better? Also quick question, do you like Formula One? Because I can't get race car driver Leon out of my head like...... OMG. Love you! /p - 🐚
Hey! I'm feeling better indeed I would almost say I'm fully recovered! Sad thing is... my mom is sick now 😭😭. It's funny because if I get sick she will too and vice-versa.
And to answer your question... No, I don't. To be fair, it's not that I don't like it, I just have never been introduced to the whole concept before buuuuuut I could recognize one or two faces (I had a friend who would post about some of the drivers on his ig stories hehe). (Edit: I know who Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are 🤭)
But now you have planted THAT seed in my mind... 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I swear I once saw a Leon mod in which he was wearing one of the uniforms...... Or maybe I'm gaslighting myself...... I don't even know anymore....
🐚 anon you always bring some good food here. I hope you're having a great day, take care !!

I hope you're feeling better Ruby!!! 💗🫶 I get your pain, I had the flu and my period a few weeks ago too 😭 - 🐚
Hi boo! I'm indeed feeling better. It's the sore throat that won't go away!!! What's even more depressing is the fact that my job requires me to speak nonstop, so I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow if the mere action of swallowing my own saliva has me meeting God. 😭
And I hope you're feeling better too! I guess the universe decided that all of us shall face the wrath of sickness lol.
Take care anon! Have a good day 😽😽😽

EXCUSEME NO, I mean, yes, he would.
But you know what I think he would absolutely listen to?? Fking Jarabe de Palo or even Alejandro Sanz, if he's in a dramatic mood.
(I'm sorry, I've been studying thiS for the past few months, most of the songs go for re6/DI Leon)
A couple of examples here:
https://youtu.be/O_9ubdWZAek?si=IXb6FLurViwIBR7k (I like the vibe, it's like chill and melancholic, but not sad)
https://youtu.be/8uGyf1t4Rg4?si=TsOe8z5YgIay5XHn (same as the first one)
https://youtu.be/V419yO6FeIU?si=0ZqL_qUCt42MAcDc (re2 Leon would put Tan Biónica while patrolling, I'm sorry ✋️)
Bonus:
https://youtu.be/b_vPrhPl5uY?si=f_HoIlFpwjE4Szbu (the lyrics remind me of him😩‼️)
https://youtu.be/WZ32gSLNHfA?si=uAUkUVhJJx58dcg9 (mf listened to this at one point of his life and identified with it, I'm sure. Prob og re4 Leon)
I've finished, thank you, have a good day.
ANON ???? You came into my askbox, decided to drop this masterpiece and expected me to be normal about it ????
But let me tell you, you're so right. So so right.
And the fact that you've been studying this for months !! That's some dedication, and I'm definitely looking forward to reading more about your thoughts about Leon’s music taste.
Regarding the songs I completely agree. Although I kinda see Re4r Leon listening to Jarabe de Palo too. Look at that man... he's so La Flaca coded.
Alejandro Sanz? Do you want me to have a heart attack? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Sorry if I'm being sappy but I can imagine DI Leon singing his heart out while Amiga Mia plays in the background. Is he heartbroken? No, he's just dramatic like that.
And if I may add, I feel like he'd also listen to Soda Stereo and therefore Gustavo Cerati. My top 2 choices would be Te para Tres and Vivo respectively. (These ones are also focused on older or Re4r Leon)
And the image of a younger Leon driving his police car while listening to Tan Biónica? Anon, let me ask your hand in marriage because you have just created the most perfect scenario.
And rookie Leon would be sooo dramatic, even more than DI Leon. The only difference is that re2r Leon would hide it while DI Leon is loud and proud.
So... hear me out. Leon (all of them but heavy on his Re2r) as a Selena fan. He LOVES singing Si Una Vez o el Chico del Apartamento 512 when he's alone at his home.
I'd say more but I feel I'm rambling. Thank you again anon. Have a good day too.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
