Big Bad Wolf Shiv and Little Black Sheep Pocket

The inspiration comes from Shiv's lines and the weapon names from Pocket.😳

Okay so @fetching-sketching wrote a really good fic on AO3 and suddenly woah I have a Deadlock ship. Was anyone going to tell me Pocket found Shiv handsome or was I supposed to be blindsided by that dialog in game.

Pocketknife[Shiv/Pocket] Headcanons - Domestic

I absolutely do ship asks!! You can also find what kind of requests I accept here on my AO3! Hope you enjoy this, I definitely got a little carried away haha.

Despite growing up with a silver spoon in their mouth half their life, Pocket actually is a decent cook. Nothing mind blowing, but they usually do most of the cooking. Shiv likes to be nosey in the kitchen while they cook, which Pocket acts like it annoys them to no end… But really they enjoy having his company around. They'll cook together sometimes as well. Whenever it's Shiv's night to figure out food if his partner isn't feeling up to it, most of the time they're going to go out or order in. This guy can make like two dishes beyond the basic array and to be honest he doesn't really want to learn anymore lmao

Pocket's odd jobs they take lead them all over the city, but if there's ever a chance that them and Shiv can walk most of the way to work together? Shiv is all over that shit. It's rare that their schedules line up enough for it to happen, but when it does, you can bet your ass Shiv's insisting they walk together. “Now, you can either loop your arm through mine, we can go hand in hand, or I can just sling my arm around ‘ya. What's it gonna be?” Once again, Pocket acts like they're embarrassed by the insistence, but… Really they love it.

Shiv prefers date nights out, while Pocket prefers them in. When they go out, it's usually bowling, a movie, or a jazz bar they can relax and have a few drinks at. Shiv likes to explore different places, but he definitely is always coming back with his date to a few of his favorite spots. When they stay in, Pocket will always bring out a new, lavish recipe that they cook together. They'll wine and dine each other inside before settling down with an activity Pocket's come up with. It could be something from a board game, to a craft, watching something on the television/listening to the radio, and what have you.

They're both pretty good about waking up early. There isn't a situation between them where one always oversleeps and needs to be woken up by the other. Deep down, Pocket wishes that Shiv would oversleep sometimes just a little because they'd love to wake him up with breakfast or a cup of coffee. Sometimes, though, Pocket lounges after they wake up, and often tries to convince Shiv to stay in bed a little longer with them. It works a little under half the time, and although most of the time it turns into cuddling and chatting about nonsense, some of the time it ends up with them needing a shower afterwards.

Although the bathroom is cramped, they try to share the space, and that's only because Shiv takes forever to get ready. He's got a whole fucking step by step process he has to do for his morning routines and he will not leave the house unless he does it. Pocket finds it charming, but also very annoying. Thankfully, Shiv understands that maybe the time spent getting his hair to look just perfect among all of his other grooming habits is a bit abnormal, so he'll adjust however he can to make it easy for Pocket to get in and do what they need to do.

Pocket loves rainy days. It means they get to stay in and cuddle if there's no pressing work to be done because Shiv would actually rather die than let his hair get all fucked up outside for everyone to see. It took him months just to let his pride ease enough to let Pocket see him with his perfect ‘do undone.

Shiv thinks that the frogs Pocket keeps are cute, but he doesn't wanna interact with them beyond that. He's not a huge animal person, but he understands it's Pocket's thing. Truth be told, they could probably come home with a couple of stray animals and Shiv would probably bite his tongue and let it happen even if he doesn't really want them. It would probably end up with the stereotypical situation, though, of the dad who begrudgingly lets the animal stick around and then ends up becoming best friends with it LMAO

Speaking of frog pets!-- Shiv will get little things to put in the terrarium he sees out and about while working. “Got this cool vamp’ skull, think it'd look good in the tank?” Pocket has also insisted that Shiv name one of the frogs, and although they're not particularly in love with the name Legs McJumper, they wouldn't dare to rename her.

They both take care of each other's wounds when they come home banged up. It's a lot more common for Shiv to be roughed up rather than Pocket, as the latter tries to avoid getting into a scuffle when they can. Shiv will try to get his wounds tended to at headquarters if they're particularly nasty because they have some good tech for it, but if he has a couple cuts or bruises he'll just make his way home instead. Acts like he doesn't enjoy being doted on and treated by Pocket but he does, of course. Pocket, on the other hand, actually truly doesn't enjoy being tended to. They tend to keep the minor injuries to themselves if they can, but Shiv has both a keen eye and nose and can sniff out blood or injury pretty easily. He doesn't like seeing Pocket hurt, but he does enjoy hearing about how they kicked ass(hopefully HAH).

Requests are still open if there's something you want to see!

[birdykane]

The moment blood hits his tongue he groans, deep and guttural from the back of his throat. It’s electric, intoxicating in a way blood’s never been before. He can feel their pulse quicken beneath his tongue. Pocket shifts slightly and Shiv growls, his hand grabbing their arm to hold them in place.

Scene from @fetching-sketching 's Bittersweet in Taste because it lives in my brain 24/7. Please go read it this piece does NOT do it justice I just needed to get it out of my brain.

Deadlock HCs - 1

so...

i'm going to dump my deadlock HCs on here too shamelessly, focusing on Pocket specifically this time

(plus a bit of pocketknife? does it even count??? idk??????)

warning:

contains descriptions of genderqueer experiences, including body dysphoria

heavily based on my personal view as nonbinary trans myself, but that does not mean ALL nonbinary people feel/think the same way as I do

+ please note that deadlock is still in development, many of these might change when further information gets released

1.

pocket is androphilia. they always have been. they do have a thing for handsome men. especially those who are at least 5 years older than them.

(* 'homosexual' is not a very good word to describe nb person's attraction)

however, they haven't been in any long-lasting relationship.

growing up as the eldest heir of fairfax, every social interaction was to be controlled, measured and judged, leaving them with no options they could choose on their own.

there was a fiance too, whom they met only once or twice in person.

…and we all know how things ended up.

It mightn't have been the same if they had disobeyed, but they were not that type of person either.

trying to figure out one's needs was hard for them. kind of threatening, even. hiding was easier. giving up early was much, much easier. they belived that locking themself in normativity was better for all.

rather than deviating from fairfax's path, they followed what others told them to do.

2.

yet after they were shot, it took quite a time.

they couldn't shake off the thoughts of becoming their father's "eldest, obedient, fairfax-like son."

then one day, just a normal day with no special news, they came to realize.

eldest, obedient, Fairfax-like son.

they could never be the half of it.

but they are trying. slowly but steadily.

admitting is not equal to getting used to.

they still feel awkward when reaching out for what they want. It's hard. now low self-esteem and life safety issues combined together, it really is.

3.

pocket feels insecure about their height, because people often(and easily) misgender them just for being too tall.

(* pocket is one of the tallest among human characters in deadlock)

but none of these worked on their height. instead, they were left with a thin frame. (they're not sure if this is a good thing or not.)

they have been on the taller side ever since childhood.

they tried what they could do to 'not grow up too much', like staying up late, eating less.

well below it's pocketknife time folks

4.

pocket is even taller than shiv according to their current 3d models.

so if pocketknife is doing some kind of classic-height-difference thing, it means that pocket is bending their knees or shiv is standing on a box –

– …like this. (* i'm joking)

and shiv does NOT give a single fuck about pocket being taller than him.

it makes pocket feel relieved somehow.

despite being shorter, shiv still can lift pocket so easily.

...it gives pocket some very certain kind of imagination.

...or maybe it works for both of them.

(will be added more when I'm not super busy)
