Molly/Yasha headcanons

because I have Feelings from the last episode. 

-Molly is the only person currently allowed to touch Yasha. This is because he built it up gradually, over a long period of time, and asked for permission every time until one day she quietly told him he was now An Approved Person and it was all good. Is secretly very fond of his affectionate little head kisses and shoulder pats (he never really goes in for the hug unless there was a near-death experience, he is approved but she’s still not super big on the touchy-feely thing) 

-Yasha always has Molly’s back. Always. And she 100% will Loom over anyone who even thinks about giving him shit. Like, he’s getting a bit of shit off a couple of guys for being a tiefling and he’s just being sarky and his usual self about it, but they’re starting to get a bit rough and approximately 0.6 seconds later this gigantic, hulking aasimar barbarian woman appears towering behind Molly and just “Do you have a problem with my friend?” Shockingly the answer is no. 

-Molly always buys her a drink after this. She always insists he doesn’t need to, and he insists harder, and then they just end up getting drunk together. (Or, well, Molly gets drunk while Yasha sits at the same table as him, drinks twice as much, and suffers apparently none of the effects. Molly whines about this every morning after when Yasha is just...Yasha and he’s banging on death’s door begging it to take him now, please gods, release him from this torment. Yasha rolls her eyes at his dramatics and makes him tea.) 

-Molly gives Yasha a tarot reading every morning as a kind of ritual thing, (”free of charge, naturally.”) 

-Yasha likes being around Molly because he’s one of the few people she’s met who is completely, utterly, 100% without a shadow of a doubt completely comfortable with the fact that she’s a woman who is a)- stronger than him and b)- definitely strong enough to crush his head between her thighs with ease if she so chose. (Every time anyone mentions Yasha being strong/a good fighter, Molly is right on in there and just ‘yes, yes, she absolutely is’ and I love it) 

-Molly will still occasionally go nonverbal every now and then when his batteries just flatline. During these times, Yasha will just hover protectively around him like a really well-muscled shadow and glare at anyone who even thinks of approaching him. 

-On the nights Yasha can’t sleep Molly will sit up with her all damn night and keep her company. He’ll drink with her, talk to her (Molly can prattle for days on end when the mood takes him), play cards with her, do readings for her, juggle, literally anything to keep her occupied. At least once this has led to her quietly falling asleep against his shoulder at which point he gently lies her down and covers her over with a blanket, but he stays close. 

-Once you’re on Molly’s ‘approved friends list’ he will straight up kill and die for you without thought. Like you name a time and a place and he’s there. Yasha is the only person on said list at the moment but he’s beyond ride and die for her. Yasha is for him, too, she’s just...Quieter about it. 

-Yasha frowns a little bit when people (Beau) accuse Molly of being a heartless asshole because....He’s an asshole but he’s also got a good heart and she dislikes hearing that criticised. 

-They both love music, and are both fairly musically inclined (Molly can play something, I don’t know what but he just can) and Yasha has a beautiful voice that Molly has heard one (1) time in his life when he actually succeeded in getting her a little bit tipsy. (He will never speak of it. She will kill him. He knows this.) 

-I feel like Molly asks Yasha to teach him Celestial and she just kind of shrugs and agrees without really thinking about it because like why not? And it takes six months for Molly to admit the entire reason he agreed to this was because he thought it’d be really funny for a tiefling to be able to speak Celestial. Get it Yasha??? I’m a tiefling but I’m speaking Celestial. He tries to teach her Infernal for the same reason but she just kind of rolls her eyes and no, Molly. 

-Yasha has broken up a LOT of bar fights in her time and a solid 93% of them were entirely Molly’s fault. (She sighs and curses him to shit but she always goes to rescue his useless purple ass. Always.) 

-Speaking of, she’s the one who dabs at his split lip and puts in stitches in the cut over his bleeding eye after said bar fights while he whines and squirms like a kitten in a cat carrier and she tells him not to be such a baby. 

-One time one of these bar fights was actually started by Yasha because this dude had been trash-talking Molly all damned night and would not stop and Molly just kept shushing her and buying her more drinks and insisting it was fine, he’d heard much worse (but his tail was twitching just a little bit, and there was a muscle going in his jaw) And she restrained herself for like a solid half an hour but then the guy just took it a step too far and she just straight up fucking decked him. Like one punch to the face and the guy went down and out cold and Yasha settled back down to enjoy her drink in peace. 

-Molly swooned at the sight of her for like a solid two weeks afterwards and called her his ‘knight in shining armour, out to defend his honour!’ She told him she’d knock him out if he didn’t stop (but also smiled just a little bit when he was looking.)

-Definitely have little whisper moments like they did in last nights episode where they talk together and because they know each other so well it dissolves into a series of ‘yes’ and ‘mhm’ and ‘no’ and ‘I get you’s that none of the others can make sense of. 

-Depending on how long Molly was nonverbal for, I can totally see him and Yasha having a crude kind of homemade sign language they used to communicate to each other with. They’ll still occasionally use it in battle together if things get really loud, or across a bar, or if they want to say something privately to each other, or just to fuck with the group because it’s Amusing sometimes. 

-Speaking of them in battle like if these two tag-team you in a fight you’re dead. Like be you fiend, fey, or fucking deity, I don’t care. You’re dead. Scarily in-sync. Epic, physics defying combos. They’re just like a tornado of back-to-back death it’s great. (Not pictured, the rest of the squad just being like O_o in the background of the first fight this actually takes place in) 

-Molly encouraged the others to bring Yasha into the carnival and take her with them because he recognised her as being a little lost and adrift and in need of a home and some good people around her, like he was, and she’ll be forever grateful to him for that, even though he very genuinely insists it was nothing. 

-Yasha knows about Molly’s amnesia, or at the very least bits of it, even if she doesn’t know the full extent of it. She’s always supportive and gently nudges people away if they get a little bit too prying. 

-Molly is 100% cool with Yasha vanishing into the wilderness whenever she feels like it. He just kind of shrugs and ‘eh, she’s like a cat, she comes and goes as she pleases.’ But he’s always happier when she’s around, and is relieved to see her, because the girl can take care of herself and he knows that, but also he’s a mother hen and his job is to worry, dammit. 

-Yasha can actually be surprisingly soft and gentle when needed, and has been this way with Molly on a few necessary occasions. 

-Molly found the four-leafed clover that’s pressed in Yasha’s book and gave it to her when they were travelling with the carnival. 

-They genuinely, deeply trust and respect one another. And like...neither of them really trusts or respects, well, anyone, but they do each other. 

-FRIENDED BONDED FOR LIFE, Y’ALL. 

I’ll maybe add more to this at a later date, or maybe I’ll make a part two bc this is Long but I had feelings so here you go, you’re all welcome.
