Odin manipulating Týr's magic-using s/o and opting to erase some of their memories instead of imprisoning them with him. Keeping them in the same prison is too risky, but he would want to keep Týr and his s/o close in Asgard if he were to imprison them. So instead, Odin is "merciful" and binds s/o's memories with magic. If he plays his cards right he might be able to convince this naive and amnesiac s/o into teaching him magic that they never would have while he imprisoned their beloved.
And when he takes on the guise of Týr, he decides to give them SOME of their memories back. Now they know that Týr was their beloved, but that's all Odin lets them remember; if they start to recall too many details of their relationship, then they might notice Odin!Tyr isn't who he claims.
It's odd. They know that they have fond memories and feelings for Týr, even if they're muddled and missing. So why does it feel strange whenever he's around them? Maybe it's because their memories aren't entirely back. But when he asks them to use their magic in front of him, even if his explanations are reasonable it just feels weird. Like she shouldn't be doing this, or that she swears she taught Týr all about her magic before. Why does he want to learn it again? Is she misremembering?
And somehow whenever he's intimate or affectionate, even when s/o can't recall their life with Týr, it feels...different. Wrong, almost. Odin's definitely not above manipulating her and trying to gain her trust by doing EVERYTHING Týr would do as a loving husband. But s/o can just tell that Týr's "affection" wasn't quite like this before when they were together. He's holding her differently, touching her in ways and places that (even if she can't recall) just make it feel different.
Odin!Týr is basically trying his best to groom Týr's wife into believing he's her husband, that she should teach him her magic, and he'll also try to prod her memories of Týr's secrets into resurfacing. It's a delicate and dangerous balance though, since he can't risk too many memories of Týr coming back and having her figure out he's an impostor.
I'm also imagining Odin might be a bit of a selfish bastard in another sense while he carries out this plan. After all, he's been lonely for a while ever since he and Freya separated, and Týr's wife reminds him a lot of his beloved Fjörgyn--granted, with her memories altered, she's a lot more naive and trusting than she used to be. Part of him missed having that kind of companionship, so getting to enjoy it by pretending to be Týr and essentially courting her all over again as he builds her trust is nice for him.

Dad's house is always cozy. Who could resist a late afternoon nap?
At least partially inspired by @supersaturnnyoomkitty (who loves Týr and his metal sons as much as me) and her very sweet fic A Visit to Sweden!
