Cockwarming Headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alhaitham is a lazy man, so he would adore cockwarming.
Early morning hard-on? He will happily pull his pajama pants down just enough to let his cock out, slipping it inside you before falling asleep again.
He loves the feeling of being inside you. He would happily lay there for hours with you keeping his cock warm.
He likes to lazily grind against you but never fully thrust his hips into you.
When you're being a brat, he will have you sit on his cock, not letting you move until you're begging him to let you ride him.
"Can my Pet not keep still? That's another five minutes of having to sit here and look pretty."
After you have sex, he doesn't like to pull out. Instead, he lets his soft cock stay inside you as the two of you cuddle.
When you're connected like this, he can't keep his hands off you, always running them along your body, leaving behind goosebumps in their wake.
He will do just about anything to keep you on his cock, keeping you distracted with sweet kisses and mumbling about "five more minutes."
Tumblr media
Working in the lab? Of course he expects his pretty assistant to keep his cock warm.
He always has you sitting in his lap while you work, chest to chest.
You are not allowed to talk or wiggle while he's working. You just have to be a good warm hole for him to use.
If you move too much or make a sound, he won't hesitate to slap your bare ass, leaving a bright red mark before returning to his work.
But of course, he always rewards you when you do a good job. He will even let you decide how he fucks you if you were perfect for him.
Most of the time cockwarming is a punishment for you, to make you squirm, or simply for his own pleasure.
But some nights after you have sex, he can't help but keep his cock buried inside you.
If you try to move away to clean up or roll over, his arm will wrap around you, pulling you right back into place.
The two of you will fall asleep like this, connected for the entire night.

Title: Random HCs Pairing: 「 Shikamaru x GN.Reader  」||「 Choji x GN.Reader 」 「 Shino x GN.Reader  」||「 Naruto x GN.Reader 」 「 Kankuro x GN.Reader 」||「 Kiba x GN.Reader 」 Plot: Some random relationship headcanons, reader is gender neutral as possible Warnings: N/A | Please notify if needed in ask format ’’’  ’’’  ’’’ Word Count: 3,087 Read Time: 11 minutes, 14 seconds ’’’  ’’’  ’’’ Author’s Note: Well I haven’t written anything in a hot moment, but here’s some headcanons I’ve had in my drafts for a while. If something needs to be tagged let me know! Anyways, please enjoy!
════════════════════════════════════════════
「                                    Misc. HC’s                                   」
Nara, Shikamaru
☀ It’s already known he would be the best nap buddy. But you know what’s even better? Is he willingly, and I mean willingly! Stays up for you when you need him or want him to. (Although he’d much rather wrap himself in a blanket with you and call it a day.) But yeah. That five hour long play you want to go to? He’s up and paying attention the WHOLE damn time. Maybe complains a little, but he’s up! You need a study buddy? Well yeah- duh, he’s gonna help you with it. Though he will probably request a kiss here and there as payment though. Sparring partner? Also yes. Although he’ll try to end the session faster just so he can reap the reward of cuddling sooner.
☀ He is faithful but uh- he still does quite a bit of rubbernecking out in those streets. Man has eyes and he will be looking. Won’t touch the displays. So that is something if you’re wondering. He doesn’t feel very bad about it either because he doesn’t think much of it- and why should he if that’s all he’s doing. It’s not like he’s his old man who was actively partaking in his window shopping.
☀ When he first introduces you to his parents his mom is excited. Finally someone other than the Nara men she had be dealing with for so long! Not that she doesn’t love them that is. But when he sees how you and her interact he knows he made a good choice in calling you his.  Which just inflates his already giant ego more.
☀ He doesn’t talk about it, nor does his own father, but he does have a mild form of depression. It sneaks up on him and he doesn’t ever know what to do with it or himself. In fact it makes him more down trotted since he knows how to handle or do so much else. What he does know is that when he’s in this slump and you are beside him. He will have his face in your chest (even if you don’t have much), a hand interlocking fingers with you, and a quiet breath. In short you are a peace for him during the storm. Allowing him a momentary retrieve.
"Tsk.” Shikamaru was ready for the session to be over with already. He wanted to curl up into a ball with you in bed. Yet here he was, bent over the kotatsu table with you, helping you study for this irritating exam. He knew you didn’t really need his help even though you insisted on it. Glancing up with his charcoal black eyes, Shikamaru looked at you and sighed. He didn’t want to admit it, he liked that you wanted him around so bad- made him feel needed even if it was for something so benign. That small smile creeping up on his face that he didn’t even notice until he could feel the dimples form against his cheek. 
﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
Akimichi, Choji
☀ He would ditch spending time with Shikamaru to hang out with you if he could. Like he likes his best friend, but you? Opfh, he loves the fact you indulge in him for all that he is and could be. 
☀ Yeah sure he loves to eat and cook with you-- but do you know what else he likes to do with you? Video Games, man has bought so many co-op games just to play them with you! When you two are both able to you’ll usually end up having at least one date night that consists of all game playing! Mixed with popcorn and sodas and also a dedicated wind down movie session for when the games get too heated or you guys get burnt out. Either way you usually end it at that.
☀ He likes working with his hands. Likes being able to mess with things physically. That’s why when he finds out there’s a pottery class he takes it up and makes you some cups, plates, and little knickknacks. If you have a favorite animal he’s making it, favorite color(s) will be used as paints, like plants? Babe guess what you got a new pot! Cooking? Man be building you plates and what not.
Let him show you he loves you with whatever he can build.
☀ Please let this man do your hair. Please, oh PLEASE, let him do your hair, (If you have any that is.) You won’t be disappointed at all with the magic he can weave. Man can do all kinds of braids and styles like it’s second nature! It kind of goes along with the whole- working with his hands thing.        If you got curls (Such as 4C hair for example of this) he will give you some of the best hair care he can. When it’s time to wash out those curls, man is right there either to keep you company or to do the washing for you. He’ll wash them, dry them, and even willingly stand around for those long hours putting them into box braids. He’s committed to doing them right and does still try to be nice about it.       If you often wear scarves/hijabs he’s going to try and learn how to knot and tie them into some faux hairstyles. He thinks he almost has a faux mohawk style down- but it’s still rather messy. But he does try!       If you sport facial hair. Man is also going to help your trim and care for that too! He’ll help you scrub your face, put in that beard oil, and brush out any knots you might have! Plus he’ll help braid them to boot!       If you don’t have hair then that’s also alright. Man will instead help you with your facial routines and scalp care. (If you shave it, he doesn’t get a single nick on your head that’ s how dedicated he is!) You’ll be delighted at the care he does with putting your lotion on your face. He will sneak a kiss in though.
☀ If it’s raining he’ll try to focus on putting the umbrella on you even if you insist that he keep it on him. He doesn’t care if he gets a cold from it, he just wants you to be covered.  Besides, if he gets sick maybe you’ll take care of him. ☀ If you want to give him a treat that isn’t food related then a back massage would do best for him. You’d be surprised by how tense his muscles can get.
"AH! Y/N! Guess what!” Choji announces as he practically bursts through the front door with a bright eyed smile. Holding a delicately wrapped boxed to his side, bow and all. Only to present it to you like a child on their birthday receiving a gift themselves. “Go on! Open it! Take a look!” Practically beside himself with joy as he watches you take it from him. As if seeing you happy made him happy.
﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
Aburame, Shino
☀ He takes his time with introducing his partner(s) to his friends and family. He wants to be secure in knowing that whoever he’s bringing around will actually stick around. So if you meet his father in a proper introduction at home with the dinner and everything. Just know, he is very serious about you and he would hope you feel the same way too.
☀ Will usually seek you out to have lunch with you when he’s able. He likes having his meals with you so you two can talk about the recent events of the day and unwind a little before getting back to it. Although if either of you are unable to, due to schedule conflicts or what not. He’ll ultimately send one of his insects to just hang around you- with your knowledge of course. 
He finds tracking his partner without their knowledge to be quite a disrespectful thing to do. You should trust your partner after all.
☀ He isn’t the type to argue even with his petty instincts kicking in. He’ll only actively argue with you if the stakes are high and even then he’ll try his best not to let it get to him. He loves you and wants to handle things like adults.
☀ He will suggest you two do a class of some sort together! Just to have more quality time together despite any busy schedules either of you may have. Personally he’ll point out a sewing, knitting, or possibly some jewelry making. Just because that’s something you two could easily do at home as well! Not only that, if you do decide to make jewelry together you could always gift each other something to wear. Something you can keep on you to always know the other is there for you even when your thousands of miles apart.
☀ While he isn’t much for PDA (Public displays of affection) he still tries to keep a hand on you. This usually is touching the small of your back or hooking his pinky with yours. It’s stealthy and easy to hide, something that could be brushed off.  This isn’t to say he’s embarrassed of you, he just get’s flustered easily when other’s point out his soft spot. Which is you.
Sitting under the umbrella covered garden table set, Shino fixed his usually closely held sunglasses onto his face. He was just enjoying the warmth of the spring sun on his, unusually, exposed skin. Allowing you to see the traces and trails of the small almost invisible scars of his body. It almost distracted you from noticing what was in his hands. A needle and thread, looping some beads together. The beads were in a colorful array with flowers and beetles. Looking up from his creation he caught your eyes. Smirking at you from the side of his closed lips. 
﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
Uzumaki Naruto
☀ As we know the boy is actually good about taking care of plants! One could even say it’s a hobby of his! But what they don’t know is how many he grows just to gift to his partner. Yes, yes he grows his own favorites too. But if he knows his partner has a particular favorite- well then he is going to be growing a few bundles of them in his small apart. Just so he can have a piece of them around when they’re not available and something to gift them later when they come by. Although your smile is far more than enough of a reward for him to take in return.
☀ He’s a board game man and no one can convince me otherwise. Y’all got a closet full of them and come every Thursday night when you are both at home in the village you two will play. Sometimes you invite friends, other times it’s just you and him. It doesn’t really matter what you play together! He’s just happy to be with you.
☀ Yes, when he was younger he wasn’t the best at keeping tidy. But as he’s gotten older he’s gotten much better about it. Especially when he found out that you had a particular scent you liked to smell. It might be a little pricey but he’s going to grab the candle or the fabric softener, whatever it is.  Though admittedly the first time he does this he might have gone overboard and nearly knocked himself out from the singular smell taking up the small, cramped space. After that he tried to keep it to one thing at a time. Changes it from item to item or space to space. 
☀ Out of the Konoha boys Naruto is the best dancer. He knows how to move his body in tune with a beat. Combo that with his talk no jutsu and one could say he is a smooth criminal on that dance floor.
”Oooiii!” Blonde hair on end as he straightened his back out, arms crossed behind his head pulling his grey tee-shirt above his midriff only to fall and hide that golden trail once more. He had been sitting there on the cold hard floor. Papers scattered all over the small table before him. “Can’t we go get Ichiraku now? My eyes are about to fall out from all this stupid paper work.” He groaned, only to perk up and lean into the hand that found it’s way into his hair. Maybe it wasn’t so bad if it meant some affection.
﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
Kankuro
☀ Please let this man do your makeup. (If you do wear any of course. If you don’t, he’ll probably ask you at some point to let him try and put some on you. For practice reasons of course.) PLEASE. He’ll be so delighted, and chaotic, when you finally let him attempt it. 
☀ He doesn’t look it but he is the type to find a copy of your favorite book and read it. In private of course. He doesn’t let you in on the fact that he now owns a copy, that he’s read every line that he could over and over again until he memorized it completely. 
You won’t know it until he’s slipped in a line you yourself know by heart. 
☀ Will puppy dog eye you with love when you’re not looking. He doesn’t even notice it. But he falls in love with you a bit more and more the longer you’re together. He’s the guy that will realize after YEARS of being with you that he loves you. That as time has passed as you two are holding hands as you walk through the market place it suddenly hits him how much you really do mean to him.
☀ While he’s not the marrying type his life and yours would be completely enwrapped in one another’s without the legality of it all. What is his is now yours. What is yours is his. You need not worry about his loyalty as he is all yours. Now if it’s that important to you he will propose and you’ll have the whole wedding and cake and what not. But just know. He doesn't want or need some silly paper to let you or others know he’s yours and you’re his. He just needs you in his home to share the good moments, the bad, and any others you’re willing to share.         But also take note, his puppet will be in the front row somewhere.
☀ He likes to kiss the back of your neck when you sleep. A soft smile on his lips as he enjoys the feeling of you stirring underneath his hands. Something about the quiet of the room and you in his arms makes him so at peace. He can honestly say in those moments that he must’ve done something good to deserve you.
Kankuro tossed the water that pooled in his hands up and onto his face. Clearing up the debris of now shaven facial hair off with the leftover shaving cream he had applied earlier. Once down he grabbed the maroon colored hand towel, patting his face dry and further wiping anything off to ensure a clean canvas for his toxic face paint. “Hey dork! Hun’! BABY!” He shouted across the apartment to garner their attention. His head peaking out from the bathroom door frame to see them do the same from the living room. A look of bemusement written all over as his lips spread wide into a grin. “Chicken butt.” He snorted as they rolled their eyes and went back to what they were doing.
﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
Inuzuka, Kiba
☀ When he brought you home to officially meet his mom and sister. The man, well boy to them, tried so damn hard to tell them not to embarrass him in front of you. Practically threatened them not to do or say anything because he didn’t want to look like an idiot in front of you. They both chuckled and agreed. But what did he do when he brought you in? Tripped up over his own two feet and actually fell face first into a wet kibble bowl. Man is his own circus. But ultimately he is your clown.
☀ He’s a little insecure at times so watch out when he does get jealous. Because it’s a flip flop from being wildly accusative to wholeheartedly distant. Although if he see’s someone trying to hit on you. He’ll rush up right behind you, wrap an arm around you, and make it known that you and him are a serious thing.  He knows it’s not attractive of him to do this. He’s gotten better about it the longer your relationship has gone on. It’s just that deep unsettling gut feeling he gets that maybe you’ll up and leave him without even a single note.  Once they’re gone he becomes somber but quickly tries to pull it off by acting like the hot-headed idiot you love. He just doesn’t want to lose you.
☀ If he was a dog breed he would be a German Shepard, fierce and loyal but one of the more dramatic breeds out of the K-9 family. 
☀ He and you will be getting matching necklaces. He needs it like the ring on your finger you’ll eventually be getting. Because, one might be shocked, he actually does want to settle down. Will he force you to have a wedding? Not at all, but he will be a bit heartbroken over it.  It’s a big celebration of you two being together and officially tying your families into one after all. So if marriage isn’t for you he will at least ask you to wear a necklace of the Inuzuka clan marking.
"But babe!” The Inuzuka whined as he gripped his partner’s middle close to his face. Rubbing his nose into their clothes, catching their scent as he inhaled deeply and let out a loud disrupting huff. “Tsk,” His tongue clicked to his roof with an aggravated toss of his head onto their lap. Loosening his hold on them with a dramatic flair as he slipped onto the ground next to Akamaru. Who was none too please with his partner’s antics. “I want to go with you, what if someone tries to hit on you and whose gonna make you laugh like I do?” Kiba was being ever the silly dramatic at their friend’s night out. Not meaning any of it in a toxic manner, but more so to make his love chuckle.

Could you do some modern day Soda headcanons please? I love him so much and I love your blog so much soooooo….
Ok so soda is tricky for me to write but I tried my best!!!
Modern Au Sodapop Headcanons
-Drinks every single energy drink imaginable. Rockstar? Like its water. Prime? For the plot. 5 hour energy? He’ll down it in five seconds. Darry is HORRIFIED.
-Is pretty enough he’s one of those people who becomes moderately famous on TikTok without having to really do much. His followers notice he’s always talking to someone off camera, and they’re desperate to find out who it is, but Soda only ever responds to comments with ‘oh that’s just Stevie, he doesn’t like TikTok’.
-Soda’s followers have a lot of theories about this ‘Stevie’. Soda is weirdly tight lipped about him, despite the fact he often breaks off mid rant in videos to talk to him. There’s also the fact that the rest of the gang is often around/in the background of videos, but the mysterious ‘Stevie’ never appears. (okok I’ll stop here before this becomes a Stevepop social media au)
-Regularly forgets to take his ADHD meds and Darry often has to remind him
-Would either have a hockey flow or a mullet (whatever y’all think, personally I think modern Soda with a hockey flow tracks with his character)
-One of those people who loves horror movies but is also completely terrified of even the dumbest ones and has to sleep with the lights on for weeks afterwards. Steve makes fun of him for it, but will also stay up on the phone with him if Soda watches one by himself and freaks himself out
-Has a million fidget spinners because they actually help him focus on stuff when he needs to
-Soda in modern AU wouldn’t call Ponyboy ‘kid brother’ as a nickname (don’t get me wrong, I love it but Ive never heard it used irl). Instead, I think him and Darry (and thus the rest of the gang) refer to Pony as ‘shrimp’ and Ponyboy absolutely hates it  “where’s the shrimp” “he’s has track practice ‘till four, you of all people should know that Dar” (brought to you by me and my interactions with my own little brothers)
-The whole gang is super into video games, but Soda is kind of shit at them and lowkey grumpy about it
-Every teacher he’s ever had has done that thing where they expect him to be exactly like his older sibling, and therefore expect him to be a model student like Darry, and every time they are proven entirely wrong. By the time the same teachers see Ponyboy’s name on their class lists they’re terrified of what to expect
-He definitely had that horrible middle school boy stage where he just reeked of axe body spray and BO before he figured out proper hygiene
-Every two weeks him and Steve end up doing some sort of YouTube deep dive where they end up being convinced of some sort of wild conspiracy theory that Ponyboy and sometimes Darry have to spend three hours talking them out of
-Uses far too many emojis in texts
-He had a pet hamster once and you know that thing died in the most horrendous way imaginable. Two-bit probably farted into the cage at one point as a joke and the poor thing asphyxiated to death or some shit like that
-He’s that kid in group projects who does nothing and tanks the presentation for everyone by mispronouncing half the words on the slides some other group member made for him
-Him and Steve are so inseparable that when they’re not together people will be like ‘where’s your boyfriend’ and he just answers without thinking before flushing really hard and sputtering a bit. 
-One of those people that casually catches snakes with his bare hands. Steve HATES it and Ponyboy is TERRIFIED of snakes so he gets in trouble with Darry if he does it too often or brings them near the house

↪ day five. fbi — #marchhotchness
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What are some of your headcanons for his FBI career, do you have any?
these aren't headcanons mostly, but i spent a lot of time trying to make sense of hotch's backstory because it's a bit of a mess. criminal minds writers aren't serious people and they just be saying things either it fits or not to the timeline they themselves created. i hate them. i hope they spend their whole lives stepping on legos. anyway.
Tumblr media
i've talked about this already, but i don't think aaron was a gifted sports kid, i think he was good enough, which means i also think physically he was just that, good enough. being in a physically challenging career wasn't his main plan anyway.
so, aside from fights during his school years and lifting a bit of weight and doing a bit of cardio, before the academy, he wasn't the most prepared guy for the job.
but he's goddamn determined, so from the moment he applied he started working out, we've seen him in action, and that's him as a middle aged man, so he went from this geeky bookworm boy to someone who worked out every single day so he wouldn't be a liability on the field.
as for gun handling, i think that was never difficult to him, his father probably had guns at home and taught him how to shoot and properly handle them. as a prosecutor i'm sure he already had guns in his home for protection.
his efforts in the academy got him a spot in the crisis negotiation unit, first as a swat operator, he's a prolific sniper. then as a profiler as his intentions were always set to be the one who finds and catches the criminals, as we know, the bau is an elite unit, so before being promoted and transferred, he want from the cnu to the seattle field office as a profiler and worked two years there.
these experiences gave him enough expertise to teach crisis negotiation, and then he was transferred to the bau as profiler. in 1998 he was promoted to lead profiler, his first case was the reaper, as we already know.
we don't have a fucking clue of when, but he was also communications director for a time, i like to believe it was somewhere between 2002-2005.
in 2005 he was promoted as unit chief in gideon's absence, but kept this title even when gideon came back.
aaron is focused, he is determined and he is honest. that should be good, but actually that makes him target of many people who see his drive as a threat to their careers, so he is used to having to deal with higher ups trying to step on his toes and swipe the rug out off his feet.
if the godforsaken producers of this show weren't a fucking JOKE (jeff davis when i fucking GET YOU) i'm sure there would have been more conflicts of that sort, because the position for fbi director is not out of reach for him, if he wanted that, he could definitely be up for the task easily.
but, i like to think he wouldn't want it. it's better pay, better hours and he would be able to make important decisions, but he would be out of the field and out of the bau, i don't think he would be able to do it. he loves the bau, being a profiler, catching serial killers, way too much. it's his passion and his purgatory.
and to quote him: "why would i ever leave the bau?"

Anxious Times (Syzoth x afab! reader)
Tumblr media
Totally didn't just forget to put a title on this and came up with something in five seconds... It's been so long since I've written anything, so I'm a bit rusty; I've got my own headcanons in the vault and some reqs that I need to start. When I tell you, I will die on a hill for this man. I will defend him to the ends of the Earth. I would be cured of anxiety and become the 'he asked for no pickles' person for him. He could literally tear me in half with his bare hands and burn me with acid, and yet you best believe who's gonna be there with a sign, cheering him on when he's in a fight? - ME. Is Syzoth my favourite character? It's very much possible. I don't even necessarily like him in a typical obsessive way (like he's hot and all that); he reminds me of myself in subtle ways that make me wanna give him a big hug and wish him a good day.
Requested?: Yes. The reader is a human pregnant with Syzoth's kid. Naturally, the pregnancy is risky, considering they're from different species (technically, it shouldn't be possible, but we don't talk about this!). This is essentially a collection of his worries and relief over the stressful period.
Warnings: Mentions of Death (Syzoth's wife and child). Mentions of death during childbirth. Mentions of deformation. Pregnancy itself? Nothing explicit or graphic of any kind.
Syzoth had once lost everything he held close to his heart.
The sudden reveal of what he had always suspected yet steadfastly denied tore a gaping hole through his heart.
Everything he had done in those dungeons, everything he'd overseen in order to protect his family, was for nothing.
The pain had been momentarily dulled by the presence of his peers and soon-to-be allies, but it never went away. His wife had been a painful loss, one that would heal with enough time (though he would never forget the time he spent with her and how she'd accepted him despite the odds).
The loss of his child, however, was a pain nothing could heal - or at least that's what he thought.
___
Syzoth wouldn't have expected his sanctity to come from a human. Nevertheless, here he was, sitting next to you, beautiful and kind, occasionally glancing down at the jewelled necklace he had given you as a courting gift. The first of many.
"I'm pregnant, Sy."
When you gave him the news, he was stuck between two points. One of giving you a bright smile and thanking you for making him a father again, the other was to curl up into a ball and cry if he's being honest. The conflict must've shown on his face because it wasn't long until you were pushing yourself into his cold arms and rubbing circles on his back.
No words were exchanged between you, none were needed.
(As if he needed another reason to worship you)
He had lost one child and lover before, and he couldn't handle losing either (or, gods forbid, both) again. To make things worse, the risks were significantly higher this time.
You were human; he was saurian.
He didn't know much about interspecies relationships, but you were under the impression that it would be highly unlikely (near impossible) that you could get pregnant with him.
A couple hours later, he was pacing in his room near frantically. Maybe his humanoid form is an exception because if you were going to get pregnant - that form seemed like the most likely culprit. Maybe he has some human DNA; hell, maybe that's how he has this ability to begin with.
He remembers some information you had found at the beginning of your relationship (you were going to be in a relationship with another species, after all). The child could end up having a horrid mash-up of features, half-reptile, half-human, and not be able to shift the same way he can. Constantly stuck somewhere between the two for their entire life.
The other Saurians wouldn't like that - he'd never take you to them regardless; they were too volatile and held too much hatred towards anything warm-blooded for him to be comfortable with you being anywhere near his so-called 'kin'.
Of course, he'd sooner die than let anything happen to you, but he was only one person, and he knew the hard way that his people didn't mind ganging up to take out those they see as cursed.
If they found out you were with his child while you were there, it would be a bloodbath. A part of him still wished that his people would be more open-minded so that they might finally welcome him with open arms. Maybe even accept his child as one of them.
He knew now not to believe in false fantasies; they would never change their ways. He could only hope that this child would be given his ability, too. He would not let them interact with other Saurians, not really. He just wanted them to see what his home was like and learn a bit about their culture. He knew that regardless of the child's features, whether they were more zaterran than human or vice versa, they'd be loved the same by their parents.
He was getting ahead of himself, he remembered woefully. There was a chance the child wouldn't survive the birth to begin with; there was a chance that you wouldn't either. Who knew what kind of toll it would take on your body? Who knew if birthing the child would be possible to begin with? It might be one of those issues where pregnancy can be reached, but the child is never viable...
He couldn't lose you; he would not lose you.
He returned to you once he had his mind in some kind of order to discuss the situation some more. He felt terrible. Not because of the child but because he knew that you could see how this was affecting him; he was a horrible liar when it came to you. He knew that you would try to spin this around to accommodate his comfort zone, but this time, he wouldn't let you. Especially not since it concerned you.
Hence his vehement refusal when you asked if the two of you should explore ways of...removing the dilemma. He remembers what you had told him when the two of you started to get really close.
You'd wanted children, and you had been willing to give that opportunity up if it meant you got to live your life with him.
If this was possible, he was going to make it work.
---
The first call of order is to inform friends; at this point, Syzoth is still in a state of shock and is just letting you pull him along. Before long, the two of you arrive at the Shirai Ryu. That makes sense; you'd befriended Tomas and Kuai Liang shortly after their brother's betrayal, and the three of you (Harumi, too) have been close ever since.
Tomas was over the moon to see two of his closest friends and even more so to hear the news. Harumi and Kuai Liang gave their own congratulations. They offered the two of you to stay with the clan for the time being, seeing as you and Syzoth had been living together in a rural area of outworld and would be needing assistance throughout the pregnancy.
The first check-up went well but did nothing to quell Syzoth's worries. It only got worse when you began to experience the typical signs of human pregnancy, like morning sickness (which you were struck with particularly bad) and even more so when you were fit with sudden fatigue (he definitely thought you were dying or going into hibernation).
It felt like he was being punched in the face with the realities of pregnancy in humans, and he wasn't even experiencing it himself. Saurians had no issues as such, the occasional cramp. It could be a side effect of being warm-blooded, he supposes. Either way, it never failed to make him uncomfortable, but despite your protests, the physicians would still check. Each time, it was just the typical signs of pregnancy.
---
It's when the bump starts to show that it really hits him that this is happening. He's simultaneously fascinated and terrified.
"What do you mean the children come out hatched?"
"There's usually only one hatchling?"
It's genuinely like he's going through an entirely different process when compared with his previous relationship.
The poor guy knows next to nothing but stick with him because he's absolutely willing to know every detail if it means they'll be more prepared.
I think the fact that humans usually only give birth to one child per pregnancy soothes his nerves a lot. If you think about it, reptiles usually lay multiple eggs, and then some die before they hatch. I could see it being a pretty devastating process.
He'd probably go into this thinking you were going to have five kids, of which there's a chance none would survive, especially with the mix of DNA. He has no idea how big the child would be, and humans are obviously smaller than Saurians, so he was worried about the chance of you bleeding too much during the birth.
These were worries he'd voice to you in the privacy of your own room, with him laying directly next to you, a hand on the growing bump which had become a common action, listening to your explanations.
If you only have one child, then it should be less strenuous than Saurian births. Then, there was the fact that humans rarely had stillbirths. They would know as soon as the child was born whether or not it would live, and that made him sigh in relief. He didn't think he could handle getting his hopes up waiting for an egg to hatch, only to find out there was no chance to begin with.
Instead of the perpetual fear he held for the two of you, he could now see that there were upsides to the situation. Things in their favour. Still, though, his fears would never go away entirely until the birthing process was done and he saw for himself that you (and hopefully the child) were safe.
___
When the day comes, he feels no more prepared than the day he found out. It was a gentle morning in the Shirai Ryu, and breakfast passed quickly with light laughter among the friends. He'd grown closer to Kuai Liang and Harumi over his time here, having already been good friends with Tomas, and knew for sure that he could rely on them as well with the ever-nearing due date.
It was sometime around noon when things started to heat up a little. Syzoth was walking you back to your shared room so that you could rest your legs and feet a little bit. You'd severely underestimated just how difficult it was to keep your energy up with your daily walks. The exercise was good for the child, you'd been told, and that was the only thing that convinced you to actually do them.
You'd abruptly stopped in your small paces, and the hand wrapped around his bicep tightened while a silent gasp left your mouth. Syzoth stops in near tandem with you and gently places his free hand over your stomach, leaning over a bit to see your face clearly.
"What? What is it, love? What's wrong?" This man is panicking already, and he doesn't even know what's wrong yet. Little does he know that your water just broke; at least you'd been wearing multiple layers and pads.
Once you come to terms with what's just happened, you look to meet your partner's unnaturally green eyes.
"It's time." His heart drops, but he's quick to steel himself and get you to the healers. Even though he goes to pick you up to get you there quicker, you gently refuse. Not wanting to be seen getting carried, you've always been a little bit headstrong when it comes down to it.
Besides, you aren't far from the healers, and you aren't having contractions at the moment. If Syzoth carries you now (as much as you would appreciate it), you feel as though the situation will finally dawn on you, as you won't have anything to focus on except for the child.
And Syzoth is definitely worrying more than enough for both of you.
You manage to waddle your way there with no catastrophes, which you take as a good sign. These next hours are the make or break, and suddenly, you understand just how anxious Syzoth must've been over these months.
To be truthful, you hadn't been all too worried. Finding out you were pregnant, despite not thinking it was possible, felt like a blessing. If this child wasn't meant to be born into the world between the two of you, then why had you been allowed to carry them?
You know biology would tell you differently, that this child may not live long even if you do birth them safely, that they might be unhealthy their entire lives, that they may never be able to have children themselves, they might seem fine until years down the line when they suddenly come down with some incurable disease... the list was endless, is endless.
It was almost comical how the person carrying the child was so much more relaxed than the father. Now, you were beginning to feel as though you were in over your head.
Settling into the bed made you feel restless; Syzoth's presence at your side soothed you momentarily, and he swore he wouldn't leave your side.
___
The birth was long and arduous, but Syzoth kept to his word, even if it ended up breaking his hand. He couldn't help but think about how different human births are from saurian ones. Even though you were birthing fewer children (what would've been eggs had you been saurian), it seemed to take a more immense toll on your energy as opposed to what he had thought earlier. Since the child wasn't in an egg, it made complications more likely, and it was harder to fit through the birthing canal.
You were warmer than usual and dripping in sweat. More so than any fight he's seen you in. Somewhere along the way, you'd reached over to grab his other hand, which had slotted itself into yours subconsciously.
Hearing the words 'nearly there' over your screams was a blessing, but he really wished this would all be over and that the two of you would be okay.
There were extra healers in the room, given the unusual circumstances, and they'd been telling him that it was actually coming along like any other birth. Had he been in the right frame of mind, he would've felt much better.
Syzoth has his eyes closed when you give the final push. He almost doesn't realise the child is out until you grip his hands harder than before.
You're staring intently at the small yet silent figure being bundled in blankets by the head healer. Syzoth copies the action flawlessly, spotting soft skin when the blood and other fluids are wiped away.
Human hatchlings are supposed to cry at birth, aren't they? He thinks to himself. It means they're breathing.
The less experienced healers are glancing at each other; it certainly doesn't help either of you two in your worries. The head healer, however, is nonplussed. They look into the baby's mouth first before pulling the blanket down, turning the child over in their arms, and rubbing circles onto their back.
"Come on, little one." They keep rubbing and give a few semi-firm pats before continuing to rub. "Breathe. Come on now."
After twenty or so seconds of agony, cries break out in the room. Strong and loud. Relief passes over the occupants of the room as the head healer turns the baby back over gently with a smile.
Like they'd discussed beforehand the baby is taken for some simple tests, just to make sure everything is really okay. You'd pretty much passed out in response and Syzoth very nearly felt like doing the same.
He leaves the room momentarily so that the healers can check up on you and is met with a pacing Tomas. Open seeing his outworld friend, he's quick to question about you and the child's health.
Syzoth just smiles and leans forward to rest his forehead on his shoulder.
No more than 30 minutes later, Syzoth is holding that child in his arms. She looks human, but her eyes tell a different story. With nine months of stress and panic finally over - he holds his daughter to his bare chest and settles down in the chair directly next to your bed where you are sleeping off your fatigue after finally being able to hold your firstborn.
The pain in the absence of his first child is still there; they would've loved to welcome their little sister into the world.
He finds the pain is still present but not as raw or gutwrenching. It'll never go away, he realises, no matter how much time passes, but he doesn't ever want it to. Everything's as it should be.
Somehow, he manages to fall asleep in that chair, a secure grip around his daughter. His lover at his side. The ache in his chest, now comforting, reminded him of memories from another life - memories he could now look back on with a smile instead of a grimace.

Hi ive seen your work, thank you for keeping the epic fandom alive 🙏🙏. I’m not sure if you do nod but if you do could you write headcannons about him, like the mandrake ones. Thank you!!
Awww thank you for liking my work!! 😊😊 I found the lack of content for Epic saddening and had to do something about that lol
I can definitely write some hcs for Nod, I’ve had a few asks about him that I havent gotten to writing yet because he’s not someone I write much for but this is a good way to start!
Nod General and Romantic Headcanons
Tumblr media
General
I feel like the movie didn’t emphasize this enough but Nod isn’t just a good flyer, he is one of, if not the, best.
I imagine he’s been on the back of a bird ever since he was little. Flying with his dad or with “Uncle” Ronin when they weren’t off fighting boggans, or even riding with other leafmen when his dad wasn’t around.
Nod probably grew up around leafmen his entire life, being in the barracks or following his dad around while he was on a shift. The other leafmen and women took to him like he was family and he was always seen with another soldier if he wasn’t with his mom or dad.
Probably was friends with other soldier’s kids and they got into all kinds of mischief, mostly bugging the older soldiers.
The day his dad and Ronin left for a seemingly routine recon mission, his dad left with a kiss to his mom and a ruffle to his hair. There was a tension in the air, unspoken acknowledgment between the adults that this time was different than before, but Nod didn’t bring up that he could see that.
When Ronin came back alone, with nothing but his father’s helmet and many bruises and cuts, Nod didn’t shed a tear.
He took the helmet as Ronin explained that his dad wasn’t coming back this time and stared at it in understanding, his face falling.
Nod didn’t even need Ronin to tell him that his father was gone when he came up to the door.
Nod was little when it happened so Ronin had taken charge of him early, but that didn’t make him any less rambunctious.
For a while, Nod was quiet, that was until he grew old enough to be unsupervised and all bets were off. It got especially bad right before Ronin started training him as a leafman. His behavior was actually the reason why Ronin enlisted him, because he was getting into trouble.
Loves animals. Wants all the pets, give him five minutes and he would’ve had Ozzie on his back kicking his leg.
Finn is sort of like his older brother and when they are both off duty, Finn takes time in annoying Nod, usually by messing with his hair or playfully shoving him.
Romantic
Goofy freaking tease. If he’s even half an inch (or whatever the heck tiny people use to measure height) taller than you, he’s calling you short forever now.
Is constantly holding things out of your reach or blocking your way, if you have to do something or need something, by principle he feels like he has to prevent you doing or getting whatever you need.
Cheesy dorky pick up lines. He has an entire index of them, sometimes he will go alphabetical. Finn has a list of his most used ones.
He will be taking you on flights all day every day. Hope you aren’t afraid of heights.
In all honesty though, he would be so excited to share his love of flying with you. He’s good with birds and would love for you to like flying as much as he does. If you don’t, thats ok, but he will give you puppy-dog eyes when you tell him you don’t want to fly today.
Tries to impress you all the time with his swordsmanship and status as a leafman, apparently he heard that people “like a guy in uniform” so he’s laying that on thick.
Even though it is when he isn’t trying at all that he impresses you the most, you won’t ever tell him that. He’s too cute when he’s talking about how to train a bird or fit a saddle and you could listen to him for hours.
That isn’t to say you aren’t impressed by him as a leafman. His agility is crazy and seeing him train or fight is a feat in itself. Just make sure you stay safe and he’ll let you watch him work all day.
Ronin teases the two of you. So does Finn. Nuff said. Finn likes to embarrass Nod in front of you.
“Oh have I told you about the time when Nod got scared by a caterpillar?” “FINN!”
Ronin encourages this, he’s the one that started it after all.

Headcanon...?
Spoilers for a fic I will write eventually?
Do not read if you do not like made-up, author-indulgent backstories for characters who exist in the GFFA. This one is almost hard to post because it's kind of personal. Like, a story so plot driven that I am nervous people will hate my interpretation and my ships. Oh well, I guess, it's happening.
Tumblr media
A discussion in the Duros hoes chat, and then between me and @allsystemsblue, got me thinking about what is Cad Bane's real name? It sure as hell ain't Cad Bane. A lot of the fandom seems to agree on that. "Cad" and "bane" are both words in the dictionary that can be defined.
Cad: a man who behaves dishonorably, especially toward a woman. / scoundrel / rogue / rascal.
Bane: a cause of great distress or annoyance. / scourge / ruin / death.
We shall come back to this.
I have a scene mapped out for Stars Above in which I want Cad to run into his sister. I have a plan for his backstory that does not include this particular fanfic, but another, a series I am working on that will be entitled "Annuals of an Outlaw," and is essentially a collection of works I have outlined that will contain my version of Cad Bane's "story" from his beginnings on Duro in the Descent Ghetto, to after the Clone Wars and beyond.
Yes, it will have smut. And angst. Lots and lots of angst. Many character will appear, including Jango, Hondo, Aurra, Bossk, Embo, Zam, Dengar, Todo 360, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even Boba at some point. Oh, and let us not forget Shriv Suurgav. :)
Yes, Shriv.
You cannot stop me. Don't even try. This is my magnum opus, and by God it will make sense narratively. Just you wait. Or don't. I don't care. I am still going to write this thing if it's the last thing I ever do.
First of all, I enjoy playing around with Star Wars name generators. That is how I came up with the name of my OC, Zulara. I started sifting through them, piecing last names together with other first names, and voilà, a new name appeared to me that caught my attention.
Originally, I was looking for Durese words that maybe meant something in relation to his occupation or personality, but none of them called out. It appears others had that same idea in the past, so it makes sense to go with something new.
Anyway, my name for Cad Bane is Lumoon Troks.
Here are the outpouring of thoughts I had on the matter before I could stop myself. I came up with this over the last hour or two, and I am digging it so far. Who knows, maybe I will change my mind. It's helping me to fill in a lot of gaps, anyway, that I had in the plot, and I am happy about that.
So, I am giving Bane siblings. Two much older sisters, two brothers who are 1-2 years apart, and a younger sister who is four or five at the time Lumoon finally leaves home.
His siblings call him Lu, or Moon for short. When they want to be annoying, they call him Moody Moon, or "Lemon" because of his sour outlook ( lemons are "canon" in SW, I checked).
To sum things up briefly, Bane's mother was a kindhearted woman and his father was a gruff workaholic. They both were employed in the factories and rarely had time to spend with their family, but had too many mouths to feed.
Cad gets into trouble quite often. He runs wild in the streets from a young age. Maybe he hooks up with the wrong crowd. Nothing too menacing; some petty theft, vandalism, etc, etc.
His father's angry about it. He refuses to take on work in the factories with him. He wants more for himself. He's not about that grind day in, day out life. Things get so toxic between them that he leaves to make his own way, stops coming home, worries his mother sick, and his little sister to boot.
So much so, his little sister ( talking maybe preschool / kindergartener age ) decides she has to "bring Moon home" and takes it upon herself to find him. She loves her big brother and sorely misses him.
This does not end well. At all. The worst possible scenario unfolds. The first of many tragedies in Cad Bane's life. It deeply affects him. He tries to go to his mother; she isn't the same Duros any longer. She coldshoulders him, ignores him, and she suffers from a broken heart.
Cad blames himself. "She went out to find you and never came home." This time, he really does leave and never returns. I am sure there is a final fight between him and his father that maybe seals the deal. He takes up random jobs, anything that pays, from sex work, to being hired muscle, to thieving, to murder, you name it, as long as the pay is good and it keeps his mind off his own problems.
He learns skills along the way, and he also learns from his mistakes. Things start being a little too easy. He's tired of being bossed around. He wants to be his own boss. So, that's exactly what he becomes.
He decides to try his hand at bounty hunting. He begins to make a name for himself, except, he hasn't. He needs a new one, something intimidating, striking, and rememberable. Plus, he doesn't want his birthname floating around; that makes him vulnerable, as well as the rest of his surviving kin.
Bane's mother, in the early days of his youth, used to scold him for misbehaving. She called him the equivalent of a cad in Durese, and it translated that way from basic, something along the lines of "Lumoon! Quit being such a cad, you naughty boy!"
It means something to him. He feels it embodies what he has become. It is also a tribute to his mother as well as a punishment; something he has to live with and that he brought upon himself.
The next thing you know, one of his many enemies makes a snarky comment, saying to him, "you are the bane of my existence," or simply, "you are a bane!" From there, his new name takes shape in his mind. He thinks if you put two and two together, it sounds kind of nice. It sticks. He starts to introduce himself like that, when before he had only referred to himself as Cad.
Another misfortune befalls him, which I mentioned I wanted him to run into his sister. This would happen off-world somewhere, years later, and during the reign of the Galactic Empire. She would say something to the likes of: "Mom died. She never gave up on you. She waited for you to come home, everyday. I didn't have the heart to tell her I had seen your wanted posters."
It tears him apart for awhile. His second great tragedy. Never getting to reconcile with the Duros who raised him and whom he loved. He harbors this for the rest of his life.
Of course, running in the streets, he learns not to trust people. He's jaded. He gets fucked over a time or two, badly, and by people he thinks he can trust. He develops a shell; a way of looking at the world that allows him to keep his guard up for his own protection.
In that same vein, I believe Bane can love and that he can love hard given the right circumstances. One of the many reasons he's kept from saying it, is because every person he has ever cared about has either turned on him or dies. The galaxy is a harsh mistress. He's afraid of a repeat scenario; he doesn't let himself get close. He tells himself he's better off alone, doesn't need anybody; he prefers to run without a pack.
That is, until he meets Jango.
And, that, my friends, is a whole other story, but I want to add that Cad Bane has bad dreams. Nightmares, even. Visions. Terrible things happen, old memories replay, he is haunted by his past. The sister he couldn't save; the mother he thought had stopped loving him; the father he was never good enough to please.
Hondo compares himself to a sun, and Bane is the moon. This would fuck with him psychologically, and cause him to react unexpectantly should the nickname stick - one that is reminiscent of his childhood. It is Hondo Ohnaka in my story that saves Bane from himself after Fett meets his untimely end.
Jango, Hondo, and Shriv may call him moody from time-to-time, or grumpy, but that also does not sit well, either, considering his past.
Once Jango dies, and once he fails at training Boba, Cad is even more a wreck than before. In my story, he also does not get to reconcile with his old partner and mentor after their falling out. He drinks himself stupid in the presence of Boba to the point the boy gets fed-up and they have their duel.
Bane, in my mind, can't accept Boba as Fett's son; he is a clone; he could never accept the clone contract from the get go - it put a rift in their relationship. This adds more fuel to the "look out for yourself" fire that is his quote in the Book of Boba Fett.
Sorry this got so long-winded, but, I had to get that out as it came to me. Now, to actually write the story all these ideas are for!

🐅 and 🗡️ for balan?
For the unusual headcanons ask game.
Ok well I could talk way too long about the first one. So I’ll just jot down the first five things that come to mind and call it good. Let’s see…
🐅- Characterization: character habits, personality, etc.
He has learned to show a quiet confidence in most situations because of his role, but he has a good bit of self-doubt under the surface. (Stemming from inheriting leadership of his clan before he was of age, doubting whether Esrid would have chosen him ever if it hadn’t been from necessity, questioning many of his own decisions as chieftain, etc)
He was horrible at bedtimes with both kids because they knew he could be sidetracked by questions and end up half an hour into another story before realizing it. What the boys didn’t realize is that he actually loved this and had no problem being “tricked” into more stories.
Sarcastic/wry sense of humor
Very loyal. Would rather be working in support of someone he respects/cares about than be the person others look to. He did well as a leader, but it was a constant struggle for him and left him regularly exhausted.
Esrid was absolutely the driving force of that relationship and he had zero complaints about this. On the contrary 😏
Bonus: he loves animals. So much.
🗡️ - fighting styles/combat
His people fight primarily with spears and a large knife/short sword similar to a Saxon seax. Over the course of his time in Nargothrond, Finrod teaches him some Elven techniques, especially with a longer sword, but he mever really masters these and is most comfortable falling back on a spear. (I am not great at battle stuff, so sorry this answer is rather vague! 😂)

Headcanon’s about DC Kids AU: Aurore’s hero name would be Whirlpool. Cosette’s would be Buzz Kill. Zoe’s realtionship with her blood siblings in a nutshell: “If I have a Penny for each half sibling that is only a few months older than me and is a jerk, I would have 2 Pennies. It’s not much, but weird that happened twice”. Mireille screamed at Volpina during a battle to make her illusions disappear.
Okay, let's do this!
Zoé: 'Sup, dick?
Dick: I can hear you using lowercase 'D,' you basic-ass blonde.
Zoé: Jealous I got a hot girlfriend and Starfire met someone else? Yeah, fuck you, dick.
-
Jean: Okay, okay! If you guys had to choose your superhero names... What would they be?!
Simon: Kid Quick.
Denise: Really?
Simon: Kid Flash is taken.
Ismael: Krypto-Kid.
Aurore: Okay, not bad. Simon, take notes. I'd go by Whirlpool.
Cosette: Can't decide between AC/DC, Buzz Kill, or Voltage. There's just too many electricity puns!
Zoé: I am the night. I am the vengeance. I am... Still thinking of something other than Robin.
-
Mireille: Hey, Volpina!
Volpina Illusions: What?!
Mireille: *Screams, causing the illusions to disappear when they're hit by the strong soundwaves, revealing the real Volpina who's going to have tinnitus for real*
-
*Still coming up with names*
Simon: Uh... Lightning Run?
Cosette: The electricity-based stuff is mine.
Simon: Ugh! This is hard! Marc, you go!
Marc: Would my Tamaranean-translated name suffice?
Aurore: Depends. What is it?
Marc: Myzan'r.
Jean: I like it!
Simon: Aw, come on!
-
Simon: Anyone want Japanese food for lunch?
Ismael: Sure.
Denise: I could eat.
Mireille: Pick me up some onigiri.
Simon: Be right back. *Dashes off, then returns seconds later with five bags in his hands* Guess who had time to grab mochi!
-
Kiran: Marc! Do the thing! Do the thing!
Marc: Okay, come here!
Nathaniel: What thing?
Marc: *Holding Kiran* Ready... Set... *Throws Kiran high into the air*
Nathaniel: ...
Marc: ... *Catches Kiran back in his arms* Nathaniel, would you like to try?
Nathaniel: *Backs away* No.
Ismael, Denise, and Marc can deadlift the Eiffel Tower like it's nothing
While on the phone, Aurore walked into the pool without a second thought and resumed her conversation for about ten minutes. It baffled Kim and Ondine for weeks
Lacey LOVES getting head pats. It's even better when she turns into a cat
Sometimes Jean talks in reverse without even thinking, and inadvertently casts a few spells
Whenever sunspots occur, Cosette's powers go haywire and create an electrical aura around her. It's best to keep your distance for a few hours... Or days
Denise doesn't even need the Lasso of Truth. Just one glare from them can have any pour soul spilling their guts
So she’s not blowing everyone’s eardrums out by stress-screaming, Mireille took up boxing to get her anger out
Tamaranean puberty can start at any age. For Marc, it started when he was fifteen, and he spent the week covering his face with his hood
Aurore: Marc, I'm sure it's not that bad.
Marc: *Crying* Yes, it is! I look like a raw glorkaroach!
Denise: Hon, you're probably blowing this all out of proportion. Now, let's see that darling face, and- *Marc pulls down his hood* Oh! Oh, Athena! That is not right!... *Pulls Marc's hood back up and pats his head* Yeah, just... Keep that on.
Marc: *Cries again*
Their outfits have some elements of their hero parents
Aurore’s skirts and tops have gold fish scales, and she has trident earrings
Mireille manages to make leather and sweaters work with each other. She also has a lot of fishnets
It’s not rare to see stars embroidered on Denise’s skirts
Marc often wears purple and jewelry made from metals found on Tamaran
Simon wears more warm colors and a few of his shirts have The Flash’s logo embroidered on it
Cosette’s color schemes usually consist of blue, yellow, white, and black
Zoé’s got a lot of black with some hints of yellow. There’s no way in hell she’s going out in Robin colors again
Ismael’s cardigan is a brighter shade of blue with red cuffs
A lot of Reshma’s clothes have vine patterns on the sleeves and hems
Lacey wears Beast Boy’s signature shade of purple with some hints of black
Jean dresses all fancy with bow ties, crop jackets, and tiny top hats on a headband
Now as for Jean and Austin’s relationship- Jean often makes Austin’s favorite flowers appear in his locker
Oh, and Austin knows that he and his friends are related to DC heroes. His dad actually came across Zoé’s dad a few times in Gotham before he was put away
They don’t care much for the Marvel heroes
Simon: Darkseid. The most dangerous villain in the universe. Powerful enough to defeat any hero he faces.
Ismael: Even Superman?
Simon: Yes.
Zoé: Batman?
Simon: Yes.
Reshma: Spider-Man?
Simon: Well, Spider-Man wouldn't fight Darkseid.
Marc: Is it because he is too lazy?
Ismael: What a bum!
Lacey: You know, this really lowers my opinion of Spider-Man.
Whenever they go into battle, there’s always this weird sequence with a 40s-era sounding announcer
Assembled in the tenth grade class of Francoise DuPont in Paris are the world's greatest young heroes. Simon! The fastest demiboy on Earth, but needs to improve his endurance. Zoé! He REALLY hates his brothers! Denise! They’ve got bracelets, and a rope! Cosette! A human taser with outdated slang! Lacey! The animal shapeshifter who sometimes eats meat! Jean! A spectacular magician who can talk in reverse and confuse people! Ismael! He successfully managed Superman’s signature curl! Marc! This alien prince is already spoken for, boys! Mireille! She can and will destroy your eardrums! And Aurore! She hates dolphins and finds them to be jerks! Evil-doers beware! These kids are doing things! Everywhere! With their underwear on the outside!
*The DC Kids look around for the source of the voice*
Aurore: Where is that coming from?!
Simon: *Searching through his bag* I-is there like a tape recorder somewhere?
Marc: *Blasts a hole through the wall* Still can’t find it!

Sending u asks for plane.
Okay, imagine the party take a trip together and they have to fly.
How does the plane ride go? Like does anyone have plane anxiety, do they eat way too many snacks, etc.
um. we don’t have to talk about how you sent this the LAST time i was on a plane.
OKAY so sticking w my personal headcanon that karen and hopper negotiate government payouts to all of the kids (full college rides, trusts, etc) as reparations for the utter bullshit they’ve been put through (and in exchange for their silence), i think the party takes a group vacation after they graduate high school. their parents are super hesitant to let them out of their sights, but they deserve some fun and dustin has an aunt in florida so it’s not even like they’re gonna be all alone, okay?
getting to indianapolis from hawkins just to get to the airport is a nightmare. the party had a sleepover in the wheelers’ basement so that they could just get up and go the next day, but one crazy movie marathon and two bottles of cheap sparkling wine nancy slipped them later, it is a struggle to pull their asses out of bed. the party has never been particularly punctual, so maybe it takes holly shouting down the stairs and dustin whacking his friends with pillows for them to get a move on. they have to be at the airport in two and a half hours, and it’s a three hour drive. well, usually. lucas climbs in the driver seat of the wheelers’ station wagon (mike: “shouldn’t i drive? it’s my car!” everyone: “NO.”) and races down the indiana highway, pushing 95 in a 70. it’s fine! he’s a great driver, really, and there’s no one out cause it’s five am (jesus christ) and listen as long as NO ONE tells their parents, it’s fine. el insists they blast the radio, and max — who basically pushed mike down the stairs so she could call shotgun (that’s not what happened, asshole! it totally was! guys, c’mon. what? he started it!) — indulges her ever madonna loving whim. will smiles and grooves along while dustin and mike white knuckle grip their seats.
they pull up to the airport and get their luggage checked with like, ten minutes to spare. they get settled into their seats with a sigh of relief, way in the back of the plane. they all sit on the same side of the plane, two sets of three seats right in front of each other. el, max, and lucas sit in the front, with will, mike, and dustin behind them. dustin immediately pulls out a blanket, pillow, sleep mask, and earplugs (“you’re laughing now, but i’m gonna sleep like a goddamn baby while you fuckers whine about neck pain all week.”) and promptly passes out. el and max quiz answers in a teen beat magazine she picked up from a newsstand (“is that really necessary? we’re already late!” el, gravely: “it is the most necessary.”) max idly curls her hand around lucas’ as he flips through an old comic.
will tries to doodle random passengers on the plane, but mike is freaking the fuck out and they haven’t even taken off yet. so, will shuts his sketchbook, props his chin up on his elbow, and asks mike what he thinks of this new campaign concept he heard about. mike starts rambling about how yeah sure, reintroducing mirakil is a cool concept but his motivation makes ZERO sense now that his family is dead and c’mon, lipiria is RIGHT THER—-hey! [max shoves her seat back at the same time dustin elbows him.] he gets so wrapped up in his spiel that he doesn’t even realize they’ve taken off til they’re a quarter into their flight. he’s still super anxious and gets up like three times to walk around the aisle before will makes them switch seats. mike can’t stop bouncing his leg, and his knee is pressed right up against the seat in front of him (because the leg room on this plane is abysmal, and he made sure to let everyone know that when they first sat down). el pops up and turns back to him:
“i understand why you are upset. we are in a very big metal box and are very high up. it does not make sense why we are not falling to our deaths.”
“um, el, i don’t know if that’s helping him—“
“i make things move with my mind, mike. that does not make sense. stop kicking my seat,” she huffs, and plops back down to her seat. mike goes red. will stifles a laugh. max giggles from where she was seemingly asleep on lucas’ shoulder, who’s eyes are twisted shut, asleep.
dustin wakes up just as they touch down in florida. he does not hesitate to share his frustration that they did not save ANY airline peanuts for him. (he refuses to hear them when they tell him that the peanuts weren’t even that good, or when they point out that he has a peanut allergy.)

If you see this as a request or are not interested to answer generally, feel free to ignore! But I've been wondering if you have any personal headcanons about Five? It could be about everyting. Habits, behavior, even if he sleeps in full pajamas or just in a shirt and boxers.
I find it really interesting what people have in mind about him what the show doesn't tell us, and since I really like your portration of Five I thought I might try to ask~
Oh God, there are too many to mention. You might recognise some of these if you've read my stuff because I incorporated them.
This sort of request is fine BTW as it takes me less than an hour to answer.
Habits
Full button down pajamas are his default I think but might forgo the shirt on warm nights. Also sleeps in underwear and possibly day clothes when drunk
Always puts his shoes parallel to one another facing the wall with the laces tucked inside.
...But his socks somehow never end up in the laundry hamper. They end up down the side of the couch, under the bed, one even ended up in the microwave once. He has no recollection of how this happened.
Talks to himself when working. It's a hangover from having Dolores. If there is a human or animal in the room, he will talk to them instead.
He loves showering and bathing . It never gets old for him. He really values feeling clean because it was a rare luxury in the apocalypse. Every time he washes himself, he thinks about how good he has it.
Linked to the above: Meticulous about skincare, anti-perspirant, keeping his facial/body hair neat.
Likes/dislikes
Enjoys analogue watches. They remind him of his power, the way they work fascinated him from being a kid, but as he got older, he began to appreciate them for their styling in the same way he enjoys a well-tailored suit.
Secretly enjoys The Spice Girls. Would die rather than admit this.
Is a total boomer about cell phones. Could tell you how one works and probably adapt it so it could make calls across time, but hates their ubiquity. Has one out of necessity and is in group chats with his siblings but refuses to upgrade his handset until it is totally 100% obsolete.
Loves babies. Particularly babies in his family, but if you show that fucker any baby, he loves it. He's like a grandpa pinching cheeks.
Relationships
Waited ten years before -uh- consumating his relationship with Dolores. Before that point he didn't allow himself, knowing that it was crossing a rubicon. Sheer stubbornness carried him through his horniest teen years but, at twenty three, he gave in. This triggered one of multiple nervous breakdowns.
Had a slight pre-sexual crush on Viktor when they were kids that he didn't realise was a crush at the time. He is now grossed out by it but it makes him laugh too because it's symptomatic of how weird their childhood was.
Secretly admires and envies Luther for his open-heartedness and moral certainty.
This list is definitely non conclusive. Five lives rent free in my head.

✩࿐࿔ take a fuckin study break [new 12/5]
a surprise/unexpected update

so many of you are either already into finals or heading into them?? so like remember. rocket says to take 15-20 minute breaks every 50-90 minutes. use that time to open your window or go for a walk (even if it's cold). take some deep breaths. stretch. drink water. unclench your jaw. talk to someone who won't let you stay distracted for too long. and grab something to eat (even if it's just a granola bar). brains don't retain jackshit without sleep, nutrients, and moments of rest.
seriously i feel like so many of you are going through some form of finals right now and so i felt like i kinda had to write this last-minute (minimal editing tbh) so just. be kind to you. don't be too hard on yourself.
this is about as wholesome as it gets (for me) i think. can be read platonically or romantically. mcu-based, meant to take place post-volume 3, but headcanon however you want ♡
“Ow!” you yelp, rocking back on your stool and scrubbing a hand at your forehead. “Did you just flick me?” “I been talking at you for like two minutes,” Rocket grouses. “It’s like talking to a frickin’ wall.” You glower. “I told you. I’m studying. And writing. And studying. Leave me alone.” “Yeah, yeah,” he jeers. “Terran finals. Whatever. Sounds like a waste of time. Haven’t the humies on that backward mudball realized yet that tests don’t actually measure learning? It’s like using a yardstick to measure time.” You sigh and lean back. “Yeah, they know. Doesn’t matter though. If I want to pass these classes and get this stupid degree, I need to–” You scrub at your forehead again and sigh. “You know what? Never mind. I cannot have you  un-motivating me right now. What did you want?” He leaps neatly onto the stool across from you and sets two glass bottles on the tabletop, then leans his forearms on the little table between you, smirking smugly. “To pay you back, cupcake.” The mockery in his voice does not bode well for you. “Remember what you told me last week when Adam was whining about how I was making him study the Bowie’s schematics for too many hours?” You feel your stomach drop. “No,” you lie, big-eyed. His smirk only grows. “Lemme refresh your terrible frickin’ memory, then.” Now his teeth are sharp and he heightens his voice into a whiny falsetto. “But Rocket. Maximum productivity is only five-to-seven hours a day. You can overload the crappy baldbody brain if you go longer than that–” “Pretty sure I did not say ‘crappy baldbody brain,’” you interject dryly. “–and he could lose everything you’ve taught him already. Plus, he needs fifteen-to-twenty minute breaks every fifty-to-ninety minutes.” You stare at him flatly, unwilling to dignify his bad mimicry with a response. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to care. He’s snickering openly at this point. “Time to take your fuckin’ break,” he tells you. “It’s for your own damn good.”

My diasomnia family Valentine's day headcanons 💚
Lilia presents his V-day gifts in the most frilly and gaudy heart-shaped boxes he can find. They sparkle in the sunlight and are covered in a bunch of cute little bat stickers he put on them. When his valentine opens the box, it's completely filled with Dark Matter. They pass out, the sound of his laughter echoing in their ears.
Sebek is only physically capabale of gifting people items that pertain to the young Lord, be it pocket sized photos of malleus, a self-made compilation of stories of malleus's greatest triumphs, or a one-use ticket that permits someone to directly look at malleus for five (5) seconds (the ticket idea was signed off by malleus).
Silver is incredibly thoughtful with his gifts. His father taught him all about how to be a proper prince and he really takes that to heart when it comes to gift giving. He'll pay close attention whenever he talks to his valentine and hone in on any mentions of things they like or desire. His gifts can sometimes turn out to be more practical than romantic (like giving his valentine a new coat because its been getting cold out and he remembered they mentioned not packing a thick enough one when they enrolled at school, rather than giving them chocolate or flowers), but anything he picks out always ends up being just what his valentine wanted.
Malleus presumes that others enjoy the same things he does - that being experiences rather than objects. He will invite his valentine to come visit some old ruins or abandoned locations with him, and he'll happily regale them about the history of the place and tell them all about the peoples who once lived there. He'll even use his teleporation magic and take them to go admire his favorite gargoyles with him. (Yes, he asks them to take photos of him and the gargoyles together).
incoherent blubbering noises about how wholesome these hcs are!!
Lilia — I LOVE THIS AND 100% AGREE!!! Somehow, I feel that Lilia gets more joy than he gives on Valentine's Day from his lovingly handcrafted gifts... He has to keep the youth reminded of the fact that fae can be so devilishly capricious, and irresistibly cute too!
Sebek — NOT THE HAND-WRITTEN AND HOME-STITCHED POCKET REFERENCE BOOK OF MALLEUS' GREATEST QUOTES, that has taken me out!! (Silver is staring at him in utter bewilderment as Sebek hands him his copy with smug exuberance and one slightly crumpled ticket as if the previous owner had a crisis of faith before handing it over to a certain sleepy human; as if your paltry gift of hair gel could even hold a candle to my offerings, Silver!)
Silver — Currently he's a bit miffed that Sebek didn't appreciate the effort that he went through to get him that hair gel; the poor boy was subjected to hours of the finer details of potion-making and hair care from Vil and Azul! BUT THIS IS SO SWEET, MY HEART? The fact that he'd try so hard to stay awake and pay attention to what his loved ones need to make their lives easier aaaaaa Lilia you can claim NO credit about how thoughtful and darling this boy is, we should just be thankful he wasn't ruined by your impudent nature.
Malleus — I WAS CACKLING; not prince malleus having zero social skills and a certain haughty demeanor to assume that looking at stone gargoyles for hours would be the perfect valentine's day experience NEVER CHANGE HIM!! He tried to take his family with him one time; Silver fell asleep on a gargoyle, Sebek was fretting over his every step lest he trip over exposed stone, and Lilia was more amused to see how many crows would land on Silver's shoulders before he woke up. Needless to say, it was only one time.

✨Killudust Headcanons✨
— ☆ author’s note: i’m so happy i was able to properly formulate and finish these hdcs when i had the free time to do so. i just can’t help but to have fun with this rarepair ship it’s so funny but cute! so yeah, please enjoy if you’re into rarepairs just as much as i am ♡︎
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• The silver-haired heir is a huge hopeless romantic for her.
• Killua has a particular past-time of his that involves collecting gold dust girl merch and body pillows.
• This guy reads self-insert “reader x Gold Dust Girl” fics made by other fans on a daily basis and saves the best ones on his personal archive list.
• He also happens to run a Gold Dust Girl fan account and labeled himself as her “official number 1 fanboy”.
• He gets made fun of by Milluki for collecting every accessible Gold Dust Girl figurine out there, but Killua isn’t affected by his words since his older brother is a much bigger hardcore figurine fanatic.
• Killua usually calls the golden girl by another name since her original one is way too long to say.
• He doesn’t really see himself calling her “Gold Dust Girl” all the time.
• It’s way too long to say, but he also thinks that the name sounds too formal, like a description or a label of some kind.
• He also believes that her labeled name would ruin their shared moments together and would kill the vibes that they’ll be having.
• So instead of calling her by her original name, Killua would make up cute short ones so it won’t be too long or basic to say.
• He could care less if anyone else calls her “Gold Dust Girl” because he believes everyone else should call her that.
• Only he has the right to call her with nicknames because she chose HIM as her interest and him alone.
• Expect the silver-haired boy to act all proud and cocky by that fact alone whenever he brings it up multiple times to Gon and the others.
• It took him a bit of time to think of some nicknames for her since he really wanted something special for her but couldn’t decide between two of them.
• After many hours of thinking, he finally decided to call her “Goldie” as her main cute name.
• He also thought of “Princess” as well as “Princess Goldie” to make it more charming for her so he’d use them on the side.
• He believes these names are worthy of being used on someone as exceptional and perfect as her since they sound adorable and short.
• Not too complicated but not too flashy.
• He feels very proud of coming up with these.
• Just don’t tell him that he did a good job or else the zoldyck boy in love will cockily explain to you in a full five-page essay on how he came up with them.
• At first glance, Goldie is perceived as a silent and shy girl.
• One good thing that she’s especially good at is helping anyone with financial problems since all you have to do is wash her to get at least 500g of gold particles.
• Killua would be delighted to help her in this situation (he thankfully doesn’t get the chance to do that however).
• Goldie is a girl with a few words.
• She’s the type of person you won’t see talk, but the people who know her will understand exactly what she means by her gestures and expressions.
• Killua will be the one starting the conversations they’ll be having.
• While he engages, Goldie would always smile at what he’s saying and laughs whenever he makes his awful corny jokes.
• She’ll always nod and express her questions or answers by using facial expressions or her hands, and Killua will always figure out what she means and answer her right away.
• Since she’s an NPC card, her vocabulary is pretty limited, but despite that inconvenience, she still has some kind of self-awareness.
• This would explain her expressive expressions in everything that Killua says and why she seems quiet all the time from a stranger’s point of view.
• Killua won’t mind her quietness because he finds that charming and mysterious about her.
• He doesn’t like loud people with lots of temper like his mother.
• He prefers the opposite: someone who doesn’t nag, is calm and is especially sweet.
• He particularly enjoys angering the bodyguard guarding the gates of her mansion by regularly coming in to grab Goldie and leave the place. The current back-and-forth visits to her house always give Killua a good laugh since the bodyguard can never keep up with him.
• The silver-haired boy is either causing trouble for the bodyguard to show the man just how much of a lousy job he’s doing, or if he’s just doing all of this to impress Goldie. Both would be acceptable.
• The ideal date for these two would be at a cafe.
• Being comfortable around each other is Killua’s first priority, so taking her to a quiet coffee shop with sweets and drinks would be the ideal place for both of them.
• They’d be lovingly sharing a sweet drink and cake while listening to the cafe’s pleasant melody songs.
• Killua won’t care when the date will start or finish: he WILL clear out an hour or two to take her to the mall.
• He always chooses her outfits for her and explains afterward why buying clothes for her NEEDS to be a part of every date.
• She needs to get new clothes instead of always wearing the same clothing every time he sees her.
• Although his reasoning for the constant change of clothes made some sense, a part of him secretly just wanted to go shopping with her so that she could always look her best wearing the clothes HE chose for her.
• Whenever he’s with Goldie, Killua will start acting in only two possible ways: his fanboyish side and gentlemanly side.
• Killua would mostly get excited when he sees her but will try to show a calm exterior when he meets her for their dates.
• He’ll act like a huge fanboy when imagining how their dates will go out however.
• When the date starts, he’ll act as gentleman-like as possible even though he’ll internally panic and squeal like a little boy seeing their favorite character in real life for the first time.
• However, as much as their relationship looks cozy and sweet at first glance, there are still some downsides to it.
• One of these issues would be her skin.
• A human doesn’t usually have golden shiny skin so whenever the two are hanging around in the numerous towns of the game, the players who take notice of them will all mainly stare at her with bewildered expressions plastered on their faces.
• But Killua will shoo them away.
• And by shooing them away, he’d give them the death stare, which would be enough for the other hunters to run with their tails between their legs.
• He doesn’t mind the constant unwanted attention because he knows he’ll look cool in front of her. He just doesn’t want any onlookers ruining his chances with her.
• Another problem regarding their relationship is that Goldie cannot leave the Greed Island game.
• No matter how many times Killua would make up dating scenarios happening outside of Greed Island, he knows none of it will become true.
• Since Killua used his only chance at taking out a card from the game to help Gon, that meant there would be no other way for Goldie to leave Greed Island.
• Despite that inconvenience though, Killua did not let himself down.
• Every time he enters Greed Island, he always brings things from the outside world with him: things like what he found during his many hunter explorations, souvenirs, photos that he took with his friends and Alluka, pieces of information about what the real world is like, and many more.
• Goldie cannot read nor write (due to being an NPC) which leaves Killua in charge of reading or writing things on her behalf.
• This gives Killua so much to talk about and show to Goldie, that there are no challenging situations or awkward silence to face if they suddenly have nothing to talk about.
• Simply put, Killua is that one lucky fanboy living his dream: spending quality time with his favorite game character.

hc + 🥣, Nora & Trystan
aah tysm for the ask! <33
thematic headcanons
Instead of like talking about their favourite foods, I kind of want to talk about their "cooking" styles in general. Nora and Trystan, being well, adults, cook for themselves and had learned how to. Nora learned this skill at a young age when she had to deal with her dad grieving her mother and it was that rough period where she was forced to grow up too quickly. Trystan learned to cook out of interest because he believed it to be a basic human skill - like self-defense and many others. They are not proficient chefs but can make a meal for themselves.
(just adding a tw here for mentions of food for anyone who may find it triggering)
Nora's cooking is largely based on what she was taught growing up. Her mother, Alison, being the peak of Asian parenting, never believed in frozen or instant cooking and taught her the value of doing work with your own two hands wherever applicable. Jimmy took the baton after Alison, teaching his daughter how to not just cook and eat pancakes three meals in a row, but how to actually utilize resources and reduce wastage. He power-packed a whole adulting lesson when she was 12 years old. Naturally this influenced the way Nora preps her food. It is usually vegetarian and very bento-box-y. She needs to have a staple rice dish - steamed rice, egg fried rice, sticky rice; fermented vegetables. Then either there's some sort of gravy involved *or* a side- be it say, eggs and okra or braised tofu.
The formulaic eating works because one, she enjoys not having to think about what to eat, two, improvise on the stuff that's already in her fridge, three - be able to finish cooking under an hour, four - be able to customize her sides wherever she sees fit and improve and five- get all the nutrient food groups in one plate. Growing up being a soccer player and a track-and-field person, Nora had to rely on a lot of fat-rich, carb-rich diet that supplies her with energy. Even in the years she was a police officer, Uncle Tommy insisted she continues to build up a more balanced intake instead of just give up, eat ramen and worry about the future.
Nora's also a bit of a survivalist cook. She might not be interested in battling zombies in the frontline, but if you ever need a chef to whip up a meal with just what you could forage, she will make that a full four-course meal in five minutes. An exaggeration, but you get the idea. She knows how to work well past the limitations a refridgerator can provide and sticks to the basics of a lunch box design. Also, yes as the sterotype goes, she can actually season her food well. Armed with a dedicated shelf of spices in her kitchen, she finds it like as if this is a funky chemistry experiment. The one qualm I will have with her is that she focuses on the practicality of the dish and rejects novelty. I don't blame her for it, but sometimes, yes, she ends up having the same thing for a couple of days until her taste buds die and she has to force herself to make something else.
In terms of an achievement she considers herself in the art of cooking has to be mastering the craft of hand-pulled noodles. It took her many tries, many weeks of agony, but she can finally, finally make a bowl of ramen right from scratch.
As for Trystan, his cooking is something he learned out of his own interest which is why he resorts to constantly pushing his boundaries and making these elaborate, complicated stuff. If Nora's a practical person, he's the envisioner. When he moves to New York, cooking becomes a necessity. Especially when his view of his culture has been tainted by well, everything with the exile. He finds it a cathartic project to be able to work on a meal, which is why he insists on investing more time. He and Nora, albeit carrying different opinions, can agree that food tastes good if you made them all from scratch.
He truly developed this style of novelty-first cooking when he took on cooking in a competitive spirit. He learned the basics; doing a lot of backhanded research just for one dish. His style is more inclined towards adaptation. While he isn't a proficient baker, he is excellent with the stove. While cooking purists might disagree - believe that it requires practice, Trystan as per usual, tricked his way through by reading thoroughly on the subject and applying it in just the right places. His strongest suit are the main courses - with the main objective being to introduce a part of himself in every little thing he makes. Even a bowl of muesli would have this trademarked flair of his.
The best thing about his approach is the fact that he always finds a way to improve. His stuff is less straight-jacketed and there is no one way to make it. He ensures of it. Substitute olive oil for eggs, you get the same result. Don't have bread? No problem. Adaptability was key. He had to get used to New York somehow - between the time-zone differences, culture differences, food variations. There were ingredients he couldn't get in local markets that Drakovia was abundant in. Him making these tiny changes inspired him to make more broadened changes and take into people's requirements when say, he's cooking for a mass of people.
I rambled way too much lol.

Mother and Son (Headcanons)
Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende)
Word count: 840
Premise: She spends some rare quality time with her son (Headcanons)
Author’s Note: Thank you to the beautiful @headoverheelsforramsey​ for requesting this. Sorry it took me this long to post!
Tumblr media
Ethan gets them tickets to a trampoline park because if they’re going to bounce off the walls, he’d rather they do it away from all the glass decoration and picture frames they have around the house
He wishes that by “them” he meant Jonah and his sisters.
Instead, he means Jonah and his mother, who has all the energy necessary to keep up with the kid
Lilac and Jonah arrive at the trampoline park and immediately get to work.
They laugh and send Ethan tons of videos and pictures, each sillier than the previous one
An hour in, Jonah informs his mother that there is no way she can jump higher than him. (Because that’s true right? There’s no possible way a person his mother’s age can beat a ten year old kid who’s made it his sole mission to be the best at trampoline jumping)
“Ha!” his Mom laughs when she jumps almost as high as him
Jonah cannot believe his eyes. “You’re just as old as Dad and he can’t jump as high as me. Not even close. It’s kinda sad.”
“Just as old?”
Lilac feigns offense and dives into a nearby pit, aiming a foam block at her son with every intention of missing
“Take that back. Your father is eons older than me.”
Jonah laughs, picking up the foam block and aiming it at his mother. He misses on purpose too because he could never intentionally hurt his mom.
Lilac lets out an exaggerated gasp and gathers as many foam blocks as possible, preparing for what promised to be outright war.
But her pager goes off.
“We have to go to Edenbrook,” Jonah guesses, his voice so deadpan, he sounds a lot like Ethan.
Lilac’s heart hurts a little at how expertly her son hides his disappointment. A result, no doubt, from years of interrupted family outings.
Ethan and Lilac had always been adamant to separate their work from their family life. The time designated to their children was sacred and they fought very hard to keep work from seeping in.
However, now and then, a work emergency pulled one parent (or both) from the kids.
Lilac sighs, kneeling down to eye level with her son. “We can go get a chocolate lava cake after. I promise.”
That cheers him up a little.
When they arrive at Edenbrook, the nurses they pass in the hall fawn over Jonah, as is their custom. Tobias greets him by ruffling his hair and fist bumping him. Dr. McDaniel asks him about school. Harper embraces him and remarks how tall he seems to be getting with each passing day.
“Still want to be a surgeon?” she asks, as she always does.
Jonah nods enthusiastically.
Harper smiles fondly at him and sets up his favorite game, Operation, for him to play while the team meets.
It’s a fun game, but it gets boring after five minutes. It’s way more fun to play against his sister and beating her every time. Plus, it’s pretty funny to hear Dad grumbling in the background about surgeons.
As though sensing his boredom, his Uncle Bryce makes his way into the office, sending a silent greeting toward the team.
Jonah high fives him in greeting. “How did you know I was here?”
“You’re a celebrity, little Ram. You’re all Edenbrook can talk about as soon as you walk through the door.”
(Lilac paged him and begged him to keep her son company in between surgeries because Jonah adores him)
Grinning, they play several rounds, Jonah winning every single one.
It's the best because Uncle Bryce is an actual surgeon and if Jonah can beat him, then he can probably be a great surgeon some day.
“Duty calls,” Bryce says when his pager goes off. “I have to go scrub in.”
“Can I watch your surgery?”
His mother stops talking to her team, addressing Jonah sternly. “No.”
“That's okay, little Ram. Next time I'll teach you how to do surgery on an orange.”
This cheers him up.
Lilac walks over just then, the meeting over. “You two are determined to break my heart.”
“And Dad's.”
Lilac laughs and tickles her son in retribution.
It's too late to go back to the trampoline park by the time the meeting is over.
So Lilac keeps her promise of lava cake, watching her son carefully for any lingering signs of disappointment
Jonah shows none
But then again, the kid is so much like his dad that Lilac is not fully convinced
When they leave the café, the sugar rush is starting to affect her son because he all but hops toward the car
He stops, glances back at Lilac, and gives her the brightest grin
“I love you, Mom.”
He hugs her tightly.
It's all it takes for her to hold back her tears.
Because despite trying to be everything— a wife, a mom, a doctor, a leader— and sometimes feeling like she's doing everything halfway, her son's arms around her are the best reassurance.
“I love you, too, little bunny.”
