#Lyra Shelby

Relationship fun facts: ❤️Jake X Lyra💛

1. Lyra met Jake when she accidentally missed her bus going home when it was pouring down rain. Having cat like tendencies, Lyra hates being caught in downpours. He was the only one willing to take her to her home city (she worked in one city but lived in another at the time) and she paid him handsomely for it. Also brought him extra towels for getting the backseat of his taxi wet.

2. Hated the silence so kinda talked his ear off that first ride. He tried to keep up looking grumpy and a hard ass but it was HARD. She was cute, funny, outgoing...basically everything Jake Lockley wasn't. But oddly he kinda liked it. And then he spotted the cheetah in his backseat and knew he was a goner (thinking "Dios mio, she's like me" o.o)

3. After about the third or fourth ride, they kept looking for each other. Neither will admit this to one another but they'd tell anyone who asked, thinking nothing of it. It was just business...right?

4. Khonshu was NOT happy about learning that Jake was essentially doing favors for his ex's avatar. Mafdet was at first not happy about seeing her ex's avatar in the driver's seat, but she thought it was amusing (and she's petty as hell at the thought of her bitter ex driving her around) so encouraged the relationship...just to piss Khonshu off. Smart? Perhaps not. But it made her feel GREAT!

5. Jake was the one who asked Lyra out (note: the pigeon was NOT happy about this, and Mafdet was smug as hell) and their first date was at a sushi place. It was something they both enjoyed, and again Lyra led most of the conversation.

6. Neither of them knew of each others hero identities but worked together on a couple missions. She only ever met Marc and Steven as Moon Knight and had no idea that Jake was a part of their system.

7. Jake and Lyra made themselves official after their fourth date, which involved Jake breaking them into a still closed ice skating rink for a quiet and romantic evening on the ice lit by Christmas lights (he got inspiration for it from her favorite Christmas move, Last Christmas).

8. Jake told her about his condition shortly after that, and he was afraid Lyra would freak out or end things. Life with him wasn't going to be easy, and he wanted to give her a chance to bow out if she wanted to with no hard feelings. But Lyra admitted she loved him, all of him, and wanted this to work. She understood why he was the way he was, as she came from a similar background.

9. Lyra took actually meeting his alters very well. She knew them as Moon Knight and Mr. Knight, but getting to know them as people was interesting, as it was for the boys learning about her outside of the Lady Karma persona. Telling Layla was a whole other story, and at first she didn't take it well, but Lyra refused to let them give up their marriage for her and Jake. Of course Jake was hesitant but ultimately agreed with Lyra's reasoning. As selfish as he wanted to be, he couldn't do that to Marc.

10. Fights between them are rare but are kinda comedic. They go back and fourth between Spanish, English, and German. One of them will say something wrong or mess up the grammar in their other tongue and they'll stop the argument to correct them (gently of course, no matter how serious the argument is, learning a new language is hard peeps), which actually normally stops any disputes. It's actually amusing for the others to watch.

11. They have a lot of nicknames and titles for one another. Lyra calls Jake Mein Falke (my falcon, as Khonshu was depicted as a falcon in mythology), my knight (sometimes calls him Mein Ritter), or simply love or Liebe. Jake will call her by names in his tongue too, such as: mi gueparda (my cheetah), gatita (kitten, if he's feeling...extra affectionate), mi Reina (my queen), or, like her, simply love or mi amor. They get really extra about it

12. They did have a very small wedding ceremony. Nothing legally binding, but Lyra wanted a traditional Egyptian wedding. Steven and Layla actually worked together to plan it, as they knew more about ancient Egyptian customs than Lyra and Jake did. While it wasn't legally binding, since it was done in traditional Egyptian custom, in the eyes of the gods Lyra and Jake are married. Tawaret, who was super happy about this, was there to witness it and make it official. Again, Khonshu was not happy and wanted to object, but the other gods basically told him to shut the hell up and let his avatar have this ONE thing to make him happy. He sulked the entire ceremony and reception afterwards....

My husband and his dad put together a model of the Millennium Falcon quite a long time ago. It's pretty big, big enough that it needs it's own fair to middlin' size tote when it's swaddled and packed away...which it has been for longer than something that badass should be just boxed up and forgotten about.

I have accidentally made him very emotional today by suggesting we take it out and hang it up to display it.

"We could hang it by the ceiling in that corner, and then my Enterprise D can go in the other corner like they're having a very serious meeting or something!"

He didn't say anything, just made this face at me: 🥺

"Or...I dunno...are you trying to keep it safe? We don't have to hang it, but we can if you want. I'd be VERY surprised if Lyra could reach it."

More face. The fuck?

"OR...we could get a display case for it if you wanna look at it without it getting dusty?"

That's when he hugged me. "Shelby wouldn't let me have it out."

"Man, fuck Shelby. She doesn't live here."

So we're on track to put together a super nerdy living room. Lightsabers, a bat'leth AND a mek'leth, and whatever the fuck else we want. And no one can tell us we can't.

In the Arms of My Love

Summary: just a cute little thing I'm writing off the cuff. Could be part of a series of one shots. Lyra and Jake share a moment before she has to get up for work <3 sweetness and fluff ^^

Warnings: none, just sweet fluff <3 possibly bad translated Spanish and German, I used Google translate and I'm slowly learning German myself

They didn't sleep together in the same room or bed very often. Lyra could possibly count on a hand and a half how many times they slept together since getting married. For most, they wouldn't see this as a legitimate marriage, but Lyra Shelby-Lockley took this more than seriously.

They were married before the gods after all.

So getting up from bed early to get ready for work was always a challenge. But it had to be done. Leaving the warmth of his arms was the worst and hardest part, especially nowadays with it being cold and all. On top of that, Jake was a cuddler, he clung to Lyra like she was the only person on earth. He held her tight, even in his dreams, and Lyra understood perfectly why.

When they first met, the poor man thought himself unlovable. Nobody had really given Jake the time of day, barely even his alters at the time. Jake Lockley was a love hungry, touch starved man with a longing heart buried deep under his usual brutality. Something about that just hooked Lyra in. It was like he existed to be loved by her.

So now he was doing his usual clinging and cuddling her close and Lyra knew he was awake. She smiled sweetly against him, reveling in his warmth, his scent, and breathing. Lyra gently caressed down his chest, just over his heart before moving her head to kiss his neck.

"Mein falke, I have to get up" she told him.

"Not yet, gatita. Just a little longer...por favor?" Jake replied, still a bit drowsy. (Kitten, please)

"Sweetheart...it's six. I gotta get up to get ready" Lyra's smile didn't fade, "bitte...". (Please)

Jake shook his head and ran a hand through her thick dark brown hair. "Quédate conmigo" (stay with me)

"Honey I just looked at my bank account" she playfully lied, "ich muss gehen" (I have to go).

Jake kissed her head a small number of times, something she absolutely adored. Even so, he held her tight. Jake laughed softly.

"You're not in until noon, gatita-".

"And I still have to get ready because someone decided to distract me from my routine last night".

"Eh, lo disfrutaste". (Eh, you enjoyed it.)

"Not saying I didn't" Lyra giggled softly, planting more kisses on his neck, "aber entscheidungen haben konsequenzen" (but choices have consequences)

"Sigue haciendo eso y tendrás más consecuencias". (Keep doing that and you'll have more consequences.)

"Oh hush you" Lyra shifted a bit so she could put her hands on either side of Jake's handsome face, "what am I ever gonna do with you?".

Jake smiled and without missing a beat he answered: "Love me, feed me, never leave me".

Lyra rolled her eyes but she knew she would never get enough of that damn smile. She loved it so much. She loved him with all she had.

Even without murderous intent, most folks would've found Jake Lockley's smile unnerving. But not Lyra, not his sweetheart. She had come into his life like a warm ray of sunlight after a long winter. Lyra alone could warm and soften his heart, rendering him near harmless.

In her arms he found refuge and the love he had so very much desired for years. In her arms he found his equal. He could forget about who and what he was. All that mattered was he was hers. That was a gift he would always treasure. Always.

In his arms, Lyra found her safest place. She found the place where not even her resentment could get to her. With Jake, she forgot about the wrongs done to her and others she loved. Her role as a hero didn't matter when he held her. She could just be who she was and be loved for it. For that, Lyra was eternally grateful.

She smiled sweetly and snuggled more into him. "Okay, nur noch fünf munuten..." (okay, just five more minutes)

★★★★★

Stephie Stilinski used to go ice-skating as a kid with Heather; while her brothers hated it, Stuart was the only one the triplets to flat out refuse to get on the ice. It wasn’t until their mother urged him to join her one day that he realised it wasn’t so bad. The Christmas before things got too bad, Stuart went skating with his siblings for the first and last time.

Lyra has oppositional defiant disorder, much to her sister’s chagrin. Over the years this has caused some tensions for Lyra, put her in situations that she would probably have been better off avoiding, and yet it isn’t something she personally has an issue with.  

Dmitry has tried to learn sign language over the years so that Annika doesn’t feel so alone; however, it isn’t something he’s ever found as easy to pick up as her daughter – and his best friend – Zariyah. He’s a little jealous that Nikolai managed to pick it up relatively easily as well, but refuses to be beaten.

Cece makes no secret of the fact she doesn’t like Thomas Shelby, but the truth of the matter is she knows that she possibly owes him for the fact Hal came back home safely. That’s part of the issue between the two of them, and one that causes the most friction.

Lily learnt to hack in a coding lesson that her school put on. It was an afterschool thing that she wasn’t even meant to be attending, but she sat in by accident and kind of fell in love with it all.
