#I also like to believe a tiny part of Cyrus remembers Aiden’s dad hurting his pride and is still salty about it

Hi! I hope you had anice weekend!

Henry, at least once a day: Aiden's doing something stupid, I can feel it

-

Leader Aiden au

Henry: You can be the next Alder king, just please stop murdering people!

Aiden: But that's part of my brand! Me and Talon are the crazy murder boyfriends!

Henry: dying noises*

And two questions:

1 How/ why did you first start shipping taiden?

2 Not that anyone cares about what he thinks (*beats Cyrus with a shovel*), but why doesn't Cyrus like taiden dating? Wouldn't it theoretically be good that your son is dating the king's brother who saved the world? Does he just not like Aiden that much?

And while we're on the topic of bad fathers, I thought Henry might appreciate how my brain conjures up Cameron. Because in canon, I'm sure he's really scary, but from the safety of behind my phone screen, I just imagine him as a murder gremlin. I hope Henry will enjoy this!XD

Hi! I had a good weekend, thanks ^^ I hope you had, too!

It would be so funny tbh if Henry could tell whenever Aiden does something stupid even A WHOLE REALM AWAY xD

Now to your questions:

1) I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no idea. It just happened one day xD I didn’t plan to ship them in the slightest (this is after all not a romance story) and I can’t even remember when or how it all shifted. Maybe my origin as romance writer had its hands in it a bit, too. But I think they fit together pretty well, so maybe it was simply meant to be.

2) Aiden is simply not the kind of person Cyrus wants his son to be with. As you know he has a vision for Talon, and Aiden doesn’t fit in it. Aiden is reckless, bold and free-spirited and didn’t get the “proper” education.

While yes, he is (half-)brother to the king’s husband and helped stop the Knights, he is still “just” a hunter that was raised in the human world and also the (technically) illegitimate son of a fae with a human.

Cyrus doesn’t think he’d be a good partner choice, especially for a future head of the family (is my man a bit classist? Yes he is, unfortunately, as you can see in modern AU especially).

Also, he worries about the influence Aiden has on his son and where that could lead. Aiden makes Talon be more daring and a tiny bit rebellious and Cyrus sees it as a potential threat to Talon’s future as high lord.

If Cameron would hear how you describe him, he’d be pretty offended mad probably, but Henry and me greatly approve.

To Nyx Cameron is practically like that annoying son of one of your mom’s good friends that you don’t like but are forced to babysit spent time with anyway.

Once she finds out what he did she pretty much wants to murder this guy already. I might even let her. I don’t know yet if it’ll be her or Henry’s honor to do this or if I let Cameron live after all. The jury is still out on that one xD
