#Tyrrish headcanons you didn't ask for

[she-whatshername]

EVEN MORE Tyrrish Headcanons you didn’t ask for (Xaden, Garrick, Bodhi, Imogen, aka the Kitchen Table crew)

AN: Wow I’m just posting everything but a chapter update to ‘Drifted’ aren’t I? Writing about trauma is hard for me, and IDK why i chose to make Cree’s character full of it and pair her with Bodhi who’s…surrounded by it. But, what’s a fanfic without a little author induced torture, right?

ANYWAYs, let’s get into it

Garrick, Imogen, and Bodhi would draw straws on who would have to update Xaden on Violet during her first year before Liam was tasked as her bodyguard. Bodhi never drew the short straw but was always the one who ended up telling Xaden. He carried on the tradition after Garrick and Xaden graduated.

Bodhi is viewed as the little brother of the group for two reasons. One, he always was one step behind Xaden and Garrick and a physical year younger than him. And two, despite everything he's been through, he never let it take away his humanity. Xaden cruelly jokes that Bodhi is the only one in the revolution with a still beating heart

Bodhi only 'broke character' once during his years at Basgiath when someone in his squad used a particular slur when referencing his deceased mother. Garrick and Xaden had to drag him off the cadet and dispose of the body and make a cover up so he didn't get charged with breaking the codex. It was their first trio heist together before the actual weapons operations.

Garrick didn't talk to Imogen the first month of her year at Basgiath because he was ashamed of all the horrible things he'd done in his first year

Every one of them has cried in front of Xaden at least once. Even Imogen, though she was heavily inebriated

Also, everyone has cried in Bodhi's lap. Even Xaden, who was also heavily inebriated.

Xaden didn't want to let Imogen into operations at first due to her unpredictable emotions; Garrick convinced him otherwise. When Imogen thwarted not one but 4 separate attempts on Xadens life, it was one of the first and few times he actually admitted to Garrick that he was right.

When Garrick and Xaden found out that Bodhi lost his virginity to someone at Basgiath the two literally detoured from their weapons operations to find out who it was like the protective and nosy older brothers that they are.

Imogen snorts when she laughs. She rarely laughs as deeply as she used to so when it does slip out, it instantly makes everyone feel like they aren't in a active war and that they're back home in Aretia.

Bodhi, Xaden and Garrick have all had sexual relationships with Fliers/Poromish people. Imgoen has not and refuses to out of what she calls 'pride and respect for dragons.'

I think all Tyrrish folk are pretty open and fluid about their sex lives until they find their person. Much like fated couples or mates, its Tyrrish tradition to find 'your person'.

I think they all marry for love only and Xaden's family dynamics are the outlier. Though I think Fen's 'person' was Tyrrendor the country verses Xaden's mother.

Because of this, Xaden grew up with a warped perception of romance and relationships. Also, he's fluent in all Tyrrish history and customs. He knew and spoke Tyrrish before the common language, and learning the common language was very difficult for him.

Also, Imogen is Garrick's person, 100%.

Xaden got his ego, wit and charisma from his father but his aunt, Bodhi's mother, taught him a lot about actual charm.

It was actually his aunt who, upon finding out that then 13 year old Xaden ghosted his girlfriend, made him go the the gardens and pick fresh flowers and hand deliver them to the girl's house with a handwritten apology declaring his 'boyish stupidity'.

Before the unification, if someone finds their person and they choose to marry, the couple would create a rune specific to the joining of their love/family house. Xaden giving Violet a book on weaving textiles was NO coincidence.

Tyrrish weddings are fun as shit (Why yes, there is one in 'Drifted'). In fact, there is a 'Cardulo Clause' that states that any wedding guest who drinks beyond their fare share at a wedding ceremony most pay a balance to the respective wedding partners. This came in part due to Imogen's great, great grandfather who, legend says, drank an entire keg to themselves during a wedding.

Okay now I'm actually going to go back and write 'Drifted'.

[she-whatshername]

At work just thinking about how

Garrick would 100% be that coworker who would get everything done from 9am-10am and just BS and hangout at peoples desks (literally sitting on their desk)

Xaden would have his office door closed at all times and never leave unless the rare bathroom break / snack grab. And his calendar would be blocked all day and I just know he has no real meetings planned. Emails would have no subject line

Bodhi would take on all projects and be the nicest person to work with, make the most beautiful presentation decks and have personalized greetings for everyone

Imogen would wear her coat all day so she could quickly get up at 5pm to leave. Would probably be the person everyone was afraid of but shit would get done if she was in charge of a product.

Liam would still have happy intern energy even if it was his 5th year of employment

Another Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon

I should be sleeping but instead here’s Garrick

How does he sleep? It’s the letter X, yall. He’s sprawled out taking all the space. At Basgiath he was crammed in small beds that didn’t fit his frame so if he’s back in Aretia, he’s got his body taking up all the bed space.

Any pillows? One. A single pillow is all he needs. When you stay over and ask for a pillow he’s going to be cheeky and say “I’ll be your pillow.” But he’s also serious, he only has one pillow…

But he’s Garrick and always has a plan to take care of everyone so once he finds out how awkward it was to have you over with no spare pillow he secures one for you

How many blankets? Just one. A semi thick blanket. But bonus points is that it’s big. The Tavis family were all tall so his family blanket in his room is so big you both can easily share without fighting for warmth.

Does he snore? Oh yeah. Lumberjack Garrick is sawing logs over there. Xaden makes mention that Garrick runs his mouth even in his sleep. Yes, It’s loud but it’s like, cute lolol. If you give him a little nudge to roll over on his stomach he’ll stop.

He makes you a pair of earrings that have noise canceling runes on them, because he’s Garrick

Nightmares? Yes. More on that below

Cuddler? He’s grabbing you up and tossing you on the bed and grabbing you again once he gets under the covers. He loves to fall asleep with you held close, preferably with your face against his chest. Though, after he’s asleep he rolls off if you and sprawls out on the bed.

Goodnight kiss? Yes.long, slow, intimate as hell and you two usually find yourselves….a bit more active before sleeping due to that level of loving

Is he waking up for late night smoochies? Yes sir. Though I’d like to imagine the nightmares wake him up and he’s so scared and startled he can’t go back to sleep right away. But, he sees you next to him and starts cuddling you again, kissing your shoulders, back, neck, face, wherever.

Is he a shameless flirt who wants to love on you every moment of the day? Yes. Is he also a man with trauma that wants to be comforted but is too prideful to ask for help so he just wants your touch to ground him and intimacy is the only way he thinks he can do that? Also, yes.

[she-whatshername]

Did somebody say, Tyrrish Men Headcanons you didn’t ask for?!

Smoochies Edition

AN: Ya’ll, I have put myself in a rather precarious position as I have somehow got myself into writing a slow burn, rivals to lovers fic (It’s called ‘Drifted’, please check it out) and I am several chapters away from a kiss scene…So I need to just Headcanon this out for my own sanity.

How I envision how they like to kiss

Bodhi:

Certified Angel this one

His kisses have emotions to them. You can feel his joy, relief, love, etc each time you kiss. Like synesthesia for the mouth.

Stands behind you and lets you lean back into his chest, wrapping an arm across your chest or at your waist. If you tilt your head back or, better yet, fall asleep, he’s got you. Kisses your shoulder or base of your neck to wake you up.

Ultimate Move: He will caress his hand across your jaw and cradle the back of your head and kiss you. He wants to hold you, always.

I wish to type more but I am saving it for ‘Drifted’

Garrick:

This man puts the rizz in Charisma.

Short, precise kisses. Smiles against your lips a lot.

Ultimate Move: He will reach for your hand and pull it to his mouth for a kiss but in a fraction of a second turn it over and kiss your wrist instead. All while never breaking eye contact with you.

His eye contact is illegal in several provinces.

Bites your lip when he kisses you. Bites a lot of stuff actually.

Xaden:

Forehead kisses. Yep. I said it. This man loves a five second forehead kiss. Eyes closed, taking all of you in.

At first, its light touches and glances in your direction. If you’ve charmed this man enough….get ready for endless touches.

Does not hug, but embraces. Like arms around the shoulders is not his thing. He’s hands on the small of your back, legs touching legs. Like he’s trying to fuse you two together so he can be with you always.

Ultimate Move: Hand on either side of your face, caressing your cheeks and just devouring you with his mouth. Does he come up for air? Never. This shadow creature has mastered the art of kissing and breathing through his nose.

He’s said it before he could live with his mouth attached to your face and like the true perfectionist he is he trained his body to do just that

[she-whatshername]

Marked Ones at the office

At work again thinking about

Garrick keeps a little board on his desk and marks a 1-5 ranking on Xadens current mood. After he grabs morning coffee with him the team gathers around his desk to see what number Garrick puts up.

Bodhi is the go to person to ask to have an email forwarded to you (even though you were probably on the distro list to begin with) no questions asked he will resend it

Bodhi is also the person that actually restocks the snack and drink drawer

And when this happens Imogen is first up to grab a handful of snacks to keep at her desk so she doesnt have to go up again

Xaden never turns his expense reports on time. Liam does it for him.

Liam is apart of every employee community network group whether he identifies with the theme or not. He’s on a gardening group and has never planted a thing in his life.

They are all technically being watched by HR but they do such a good job not leaving a paper trail no one really do anything

Garrick is not aloud to plan any team functions after a particular incident

[she-whatshername]

A Sleepy Garrick Story

Taken from my Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon featuring our boy Garrick. I love that you all enjoyed that Headcanon and many of you found so much love for the rune earrings and angst for that last part revolving around nightmares. So, I decided to write it out of my head because its been on loop, ya’ll.

Also, the usual ‘I am a tired human who is writing late at night vs sleeping’ so spelling errors and lack of proofreading is a part of the storytelling at this point

The rune earrings came off again. It was what you assumed as your mind began to stir with awake, causing your eyelids to slowly blink open to the darkness of the room. There was just enough light from the mage lights that hovered above the courtyard to illuminate some light into the space from the window. You were able to see a few feet in front of you to the small chair that currently held your clothes, the desk, even the square desk mirror that sat on top of the wooden surface. You’d have to remind Garrick to close the blinds fully next time you find yourself entangled in his sheets.

Its been about a week since you found yourself regularly sleeping over in Garricks room. It was a bit larger than your dorm room, perks of being apart of leadership and a third year you assumed. It also was in a rather good spot on campus as it was close to the stairs and you could easily get to your morning classes. And, of course, Garrick was here which made it all worth it. Even if you did find yourself crammed on the side of the bed while he sprawled out on his back next to you.

Sleeping with Garricks as great. But actually sleeping with Garrick…it had its downsides and upsides. Fighting for space in his bed, lack of pillows and his rather deep snoring, total downsides. But, being smooshed up next to him and tangled in his arms, being kissed to sleep each night, and the many times when he didn’t stop kissing you goodnight, upsides indeed. And, he made you a pair of earrings that were warded to block out sounds so you could sleep peacefully next to his rumbling snoozes, it was sweet. It was almost like a gift someone would give their partner. Unless all the girls who also slept with him also got a set. You’d have to investigate that in the morning. And, no matter the outcome it didn’t matter. You weren’t going to fall any further for Garrick than you already have. It didn’t matter if he saw other people, you were fine with it. If you told yourself that you’d believe it soon enough. In the meantime you decided to begin to pad your hand on the bed to feel for your maybe not special pair of earrings so you too could get back to sleep.

Before your hand pressed against the mattress you heard the hitching of Garricks throat behind you, and not a moment later you saw in the reflection of the desk mirror his body become upright in the bed, gasping as if his head had been held underwater. You didn’t move as you laid on your side for fear of startling him further, your eyes transfixed on the desk mirror.

You’d never seen Garrick scared before. He rarely showed emotions outside of his usual easy going nature or his hardened section leader persona. He was tough, but also kind. But this, Garrick was none of those things. He looked terrified. His shaking hand pressed flat against his chest over his heart as he closed his wide eyes in an attempt to steady his breathing. Each exhale more and more controlled. While you couldn’t hear him, you began to interpret the words he was silently repeating to himself over and over.

It’s not real.

The flames.

They’re not real.

They didn’t burn us.

We’re alive.

Xaden’s alive.

Bodhi’s alive.

Imogen’s alive.

Liam’s alive.

You closed your eyes shut, trying your hardest not to make a sound as you swallowed a lump in your throat. You felt as if you had stumbled upon something you shouldn’t have. You shouldn’t be here for this. Yet, you found yourself wanting to turn to him, to hold him in your arms and tell him yourself he’s okay.

You weren’t sure how long you laid there with your eyes closed. A minute? An hour? You hadn’t yet drifted off to sleep but you mind was pulled to the present as you felt a hand caress your bare shoulder and lips at the base of your neck.

“What-“ your secret was out before you could close your lips.

You could feel the smile of Garrick as he chuckled behind you, “Sorry, did I wake you?”

“Well-“

“How else should I act when wake up and see you next to me? Can’t keep my hands off you even in my sleep.”

What in the hells? Was this even the same Garrick?

His tone was back to normal. Cocky attitude too. How easily he was able to slip into his former, shamelessly flirty self.

This wasn’t the first time this happened. Him waking you up late at night with kisses to your back, your side, anywhere where he could find bare skin. All with the promise of making the rousing awake worth your while and honestly, it was worth it every time.

But now, it clicked. He did wake you up almost every night wanting some type of love and affection, was it just his astonishingly high libido or was it all due to the nightmares?

You were now being coaxed on your back with Garrick hovering over you. His lips busy kissing your neck, shoulder, chest. Slowly working his way down. His hands reached for the sides of your hips, and you felt it. The tremble of his fingertips when he touched you.

This was enough. Your hands wrapped around him quickly, securing his head and pressing him into your chest and stomach. He froze temporary, you could feel his breath getting caught as well.

“Uh, care to tell me what’s going on? This a new kink or something?”

“Just,”. You found yourself struggling for a moment before you resigned yourself to him, “Just want to hold you for a bit. Is that okay?”

“There are plenty of things I could be doing to you right now instead of - oh, fuck”

“But I want this. Just this.” You responded while your nails scratched at his scalp between his curly hair. Garrick mumbled noises of approval as you continued your touch.

You held him in silence for a few moments. Your one hand massaging at his scalp sand the other still drawing circles against his shoulder.

“I like this.” You finally said, “I could do this to you every night…if you wanted of course.”

He was quiet, you almost thought he had fallen asleep before you heard his voice, small and softened, “Every night?”

You leaned forward slightly to put your cheek against his head, “every night you’d have me in your bed, Garrick. Whenever you’d need me. I can be there.”

Another smile against your skin, “if you’d have me.”

“I will always have you.” Garrick answered, his tone lifting slightly, “I’m not letting you go anytime soon.”

It was your turn to smile and you went back to playing with his hair until Garrick eventually fell back to sleep. Now I’m top of you this time.

Again, there were always downsides and upsides to loving Garrick. A sore back in the morning and up close snores. Downside. Being there for Garrick. Giving him a moment of deserved calm, care and peace?

Always, always an upside.

But, you had to ask

“Garrick?”

“Mmmm?”

“How many sets of earrings have you made since your first year?”

“Two. Second set incase you ever lose the first ones.”

[she-whatshername]

It’s a cold night and I’m thinking about

Bodhis room in Aretia has a fireplace but he rarely uses it as open flames can sometimes trigger memories of the rebellion and his parents but when you ask to stay over one night he’s riddled with stress about lighting the fireplace. Instead you show up at his door with a large quilt that is imbued with warming runes so you both can stay warm.

Garrick going the extra mile at Basgiath to pull his bed away from the window so you you aren’t next to the cold when you stay over. Garrick also has created a rather comfy pile of furs and blankets on the floor on occasion so you both can sleep together more comfortably

Xaden lets you layer up in his clothes before bed. He thinks it’s hot when you are wearing his clothes. But to him it’s not because “you’re his”, rather this gesture gives him confidence to say that “he’s yours”

[she-whatshername]

Good mornings with the Marked Ones:

Good morning!! Same thing here, a little NSFW so you have been advised

Bodhi:

Is he up before you: lolol absolutely not. My headcanon soap box is that Bodhi sleeps in and naps when he can. Now that you’re both back in Aretia at Riorson House, he’s much more comfortable risking every moment he can to sleep in as much as possible.

Let this man hit the snooze!

So, in this case you’re waking him up. Which Bodhi will protest in his own way.

He’ll throw a leg over you or put his head on your chest and wrap his arms around your waist to keep you still and mumbling a protest of “Mm, just one more minute.”

Sir you said that 10 minutes ago.

If you try to get sassy with him or push him further he takes more advanced measures

“Why do you hate the idea of staying in bed, love. Let me show you what you’ll be missing if we get out now.” He then proceeds to climb on top of you and duck under the covers, kissing his way down your abdomen.

And afterwards you are indeed exhausted and sleep claims you once more.

He plays dirty to get what he wants and I mean, don’t threaten us with a good time Mr Durran.

Bodhi - 1. You - 0 (but everyone is a winner here)

He bringing anything to bed: yeah if he’s up before you he is bringing you tea and sweets to start your day. If he has to leave to defend the front lines he’ll ensure someone else brings it to you.

Are you late to formation: yeah you both are. Xaden usually sends Garrick to break the wards in your room to get you both out of bed.

One time Xaden went after you both himself but Bodhi used his signet to render his shadows useless, which royally pissed him off. You had awoken to Xaden and Bodhi having a rather aggressive pillow fight/sparring match in your room that morning.

[she-whatshername]

A Tyrrish men headcanon you did ask for

Prompt: beach day.

For the lovely @itsbeenmyhonor

Garrick:

Prepared and prompt as usual

Has the bags packed with necessities, a cooler with all the drinks

Snacks and sandwiches included

Packs a bottle of whisky because of course

What’s he doing at the beach: lounging mostly. He needs a break. May partake in a game of volleyball

Yes will flirt and make conversation with everyone

Beach foul: gets a little too tipsy and skinny dips / tries to catch the sea creatures with his bare hands

Bodhi:

The one you gotta remind several times to get up and get ready.

But once he’s up he’s ready to go. Packed last night. Probably will be the one to also bring a change of clothes.

What’s he doing at the beach: in the water the whole time, skimboarding or just floating in the water.

He’s probably the one dressed the best for the weather. Sun hat, reflective shorts, long sleeves. Sunscreen. His mother taught him well about taking care outdoors

He’s the one with the aloe gel taking care of everyone

Beach foul: feeding the animals, he gives the local birds one snack and all the creatures flock to their set up

Xaden:

It’s a toss up if he’s prepared or not. He’s either hyper organized, like everything has its own pocket and place, or he’s got a towel and is like, meh let’s go.

What’s he doing at the beach: napping under an umbrella or brooding somewhere lol

If it’s just a guys trip with Bodhi or Garrick, whole different story

What’s he doing at the beach: He’s on the skimboard, he’s surfing, he’s beating Garrick and Bodhi at whatever game they make up

He probably is the person who goes to the beach early before everyone for a run so he knows the best spot to set up.

Beach foul: getting to competitive, thus starting a fight with other beach goers. It’s not his fault no one can win against him and the others at volleyball

Probably would get grumpy about having too much sand on him at the end of the day lol

Liam:

Bless. He’s just rolling up to the beach hopping everyone brought a spare towel, sunscreen, etc

Hes just happy to be at the beach with everyone

Literally when everyone’s packing it’s like “and bring an extra one because you know Liam’s going to forget his…” lol

But he did make sure to put frozen snacks in the cooler.

What’s he doing at the beach: frisbee. He at least remembers to pack that. He’s Just running up and down the shoreline having a blast

Beach foul: not telling anyone where he’s going when he wanders away from the group.

100% naps in the car on the way back

[she-whatshername]

It’s time for a Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanons

Featuring this drama llama, Xaden

How does he sleep: arms crossed hanging upside down from the ceiling like the little bat gremlin he is

Lolol

Though I imagine it’s very stoic. On his side like Bodhi or asleep on his back. If he’s face down on his stomach that means he’s exhausted. Let him rest.

How many Pillows: two large pillows

Any blankets? Okay let’s talk about these sheets. Xaden has a comfy ass bed. Softest sheets, fluffy pillows and a thick quilt and fitted sheet. He is the king of lies turndown service and lives to fold down the sheets on your side of the bed each night as a silent invitation to snuggle up with him

If you’re out late his shadows are roaming around Riorson House looking for you. And id he’s late to bed and you fall asleep waiting up for him he picks you up to take you to bed and his shadows are pulling the covers up on you

Also, if you were ever like, I want new pillows or new sheets, he’d have it done. He wants you to feel comforted and safe in his room and will do everything you ask to make his room to your liking.

Like when you struggle to stay warm at night for whatever reason he’s employing Bodhi and Garrick to weave a warming rune into the blankets to keep you warm (because I just know those two are resourceful like thet and Xaden has trust issues to ask anyone else)

Nightmares? Yes. he hides it well and will not talk about them with you. However his eyebrows always give it away. If you see him asleep either his brows furrowed or narrowed with concern, gently caress his skin to soothe him back to sleep

Cuddler? Oh yes. He’s the type of Cuddler who likes to melt into you. He wants to cuddle with all his skin pressing against your skin. He loves to tuck you into him, with your forehead right at the level of his lips so he can press his face into your hair and pamper you with kisses

I know this fucker lives for some gossip too. He likes to wrap himself around you and be all warm under the covers and just talk shit lolol. He would absolutely be that guy who not only gives you the space to talk about your day but is actively invested in it. He is the drama and lives for it too. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed he will tell you some old Basgiath gossip he unearthed while sneaking around in the shadows to help lighten the mood. I know this man knows some tea.

Does he snore? very lightly. He’s very much like Bodhis headcanon because brothers

Goodnight kiss? Forehead kiss every night. He also loves a slow, sensual kiss that leads to some intimacy but there will always be a forehead kiss

Bonus: hair braiding before bed. We know this sexy little weirdo has a thing for hair so I think he enjoys domestic activities like braiding your hair before bed, brushing it, or (for my bonnet folks ) massaging oils in your hair and wrapping it for you. He sits behind you on the bed, strong legs on either side of you while he has his hands on your hair. He doesn’t get a lot of time with you throughout the day but he looks forward to these moments most of all. When you offer to return the favor he will always oblige but the moment you run your hands in his hair he tenses up, moans a bit and then he’s all over you lolol

Is he waking you up for late night smooches? This is Xaden, of course he’s always UP to go DOWN if you know what I mean. He’s always looking for ways to love on you. Like if you breathe on him while you’re asleep he’s kissing you awake with that look in his eyes that means you’re in trouble but the best way possible.

[she-whatshername]

Slight October shenanigans with Bodhi

A very small Bodhi shenanigans that turned into more of a oneshot. I cannot wait until we get into the NSFW of it all with Bodhi in drifted, lolol. Its coming soon!

Again, no real facts here, but I think Bodhi (and all the Marked Ones in some fashion) get a little turned on when their S/O or crush defends their honor in some way. I feel like for Bodhi, its a 100% turn on

Walk with me here

No one really fucks with Xaden in the quadrant. Scary dragon, scary shadows, scary wingleader authority. Yes, he has looks that could kill but he actually can kill so if someone was foolish enough to speak down upon him, Xaden himself or the other Marked Ones would just mop the floor with them

And then Garrick. Same thing, he's huge as fuck (lolol), strong, has a very classified and probably dangerous signet and is Xaden's right hand. Same thing, I assume very few people are going to speak down upon him

And then there's Bodhi. Our sweet lil angel of a human. I could absolutely see some cadets thinking he's the weakest link (bruh, are they wrong) and want to go after him instead. I also imagine he'd be the person who would just take it because he doesn't care enough to fight someone over words. But, if he sees you stand up for him, I bet he's fucking smitten over it

ANYWAYS back to the shenanigans

Picture it. He's walking in the quadrant and pauses just short of the arches to glance over at you and another female cadet in what seemed to be a serious discussion

"You're kidding. Durran? A Marked One? I'd rather take my chances with anyone else from First Wing." The blonde haired girl huffed.

You're eyes narrowed while you stepped forward slightly, "We need a strong team if we're going to beat the infantry unit in The Games. Why are you being so weird about this?"

"I know cadets like you get so smitten with what you've heard about people like Durran and the others. You can whore yourself out to them but I'm not going to be on a team with a fucking traitor. Its a disgrace to Navarre that people like him and all the other Marked Ones get to even step foot in this quadrant and bond with a dragon. If you put him on the team, I'm out."

"Well then, you're out." You said with a shrug of your shoulders. "Bodhi is a top ranked cadet with one of the fastest gauntlet times and top scores in class. He helped Marehaven to the infirmary when she tore a ligament in sparring sessions, he's kind. That's everything we need to win The Games this year and you're willing to risk our squads record because you can't get over a stupid relic?"

"You don't understand-"

"There's nothing traitorous about him, or any of the Marked Ones. They're cadets just like us. And what I am understanding is you're to distracted to think straight and I can't risk that on my team for The Games. You're out." You spoke the last two words with extra emphasis. So much so the female cadet across from began screaming profanities at you for the better part of a minute before she stormed away in the courtyard.

And Bodhi across the way is just staring at you like Amari herself has appeared in human form.

He doesn't need the protection from the glares and threats of the cadets. He has his own strength, and Garrick and Xaden when he needs it but, there was something enamoring about how angry you got at his name being mentioned with such distain

Oof. He's smitten

dangerously smitten

Later that afternoon when you ask him to join your team for The Games he accepts, not mentioning that he overheard you defending him

NSFW Begins here

And when your team does indeed win the The Games against the infantry unit Bodhi guides you to one of the secluded rotundas, capturing your lips in a heated kiss before dropping to his knees to worship your body in celebration of your victory and in admiration.

Like, he's pulling at the leather strings of your flight leathers with his teeth just to get to your skin.

His breath and mouth are hot on your skin, his fingers slightly chilled due to the crisp air. Its an unexpected temperature play and its amazing

You're finished in a matter of minutes. Yet Bodhi is relentless and by your third he's catching you when your legs give out.

Somehow he's managed to get his own flight jacket off and on the ground so when he sets you down your bare ass isn't hitting the stone floor. He's pulling you in his lap to kiss your lips. When you offer to return the favor he's shaking his head, "This is your victory. Let me celebrate you."

[she-whatshername]

An additional Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon

A moment for Liam. Omg why am I doing this to myself.

How does he sleep: he never sleeps. Always awake. Never closes his eyes. Ever. No blinking. He’s alive and awake. It was never his honor!!

However

I think he sleeps like a flipping model. On his back with one arm over his head or on his stomach with his legs posed like a ballerina or something lol. He’s just a nonchalant work of art always

I also think he falls asleep mid work. Like you. Find him at his desk with his head down, still holding a piece of wood and his knife all while snoozing silently. Or he’s sitting in bed with a book on his lap and his head tilted up against the wall snoozing. You have to wake him up often and guide him to bed.

Pillows: I do think he sleeps with two pillows. But only uses one. The moment he saw you he acquired a second pillow because he was formulating a plan to get you to his bed and he wanted to be ready for when you did finally join him

Any blankets? A sheet and a comfy fur throw. Nothing too extravagant

Does he snore? No. I feel like he does some small sighs here and there and maybe a little hum when he’s in deep sleep

Sleep mumbles though

Cuddler: oh fuck yes. Best Cuddler amongst the marked ones. Better than Bodhi dare I say. Loves to lay on his back and you lay over his chest with an arm around you. And this man goes both ways. He will not say no to being little spoon either. He not only cuddles like a rockstar but he pampers!!! Like he’s kissing your shoulders and is like “love, your muscles are so tense” and then reaches under the bed and he starts to rub your shoulders and mumble apologies for not having the oils pre-warmed for you. WHO IS HE?!

Nightmares? Yeah. But he’s not going to tell you about them. He’s good at secrets and was foster brothers with shadow secrets himself. so he learned from the best to hide everything lolol

Goodnight kiss? Yes, always. A kiss on the lips and a verbal goodnight. He probably throws in a genuine ass compliment while giving you some innocent sleepy eyes. “Goodnight love. You were amazing on the mat today. I’m proud of you.”

🥹🥹 like, okay thank you king

Is he waking you up for late night smoochies? Yeah. He’s Xadens foster brother with an even worse libido so if you’re little spoon and you press your bum a little too hard on him he’s out of REM sleep like 😴👀🫦

[she-whatshername]

loved the sleepy Tyrrish men hcs. would you write one for how they’d be if you had a nightmare?

I’m so glad you liked the Sleepy Headcanons. Those were fun to write. Let’s see how they’d react to this prompt

Prompt: nightmares

Bodhi:

If you had a nightmare Bodhi would be an amazing person to consult with.

He’d take you seriously. Even though it was a dream he knows what those are lien and how real the fear is

No matter what he’s doing, if you come to him, he’s pausing any task to be there for you

“Hey, bit late for you to be up - love, what’s wrong? …. Let’s head back to bed and talk about it. Can you walk? I’ll carry you.”

How does he take care of you: giving you lots of attention, eye contact, holding your hand while you talk, and if you can’t share just yet he’s sitting in silence with you rubbing circles on the top of your hands while he holds them.

He always offers tea after you wake up from a nightmare to help you calm down to sleep again

He makes a mean cuppa tea and keeps a kettle in his room near the fireplace so he make a brew for you without leaving the room.

He’s going to hold you, with your permission, for the rest of the night after you fall asleep.

Garrick

This man

He’s so observant he’d most likely sense you’re having a nightmare and help coax you awake

And he’d be so fucking good at it

You’d wake up terrified and he’s hovering over you like, “easy, easy. Just a dream, love. You’re fine. Take a deep breath for me, yeah? Atta girl.”

And even if you did wake up ready to fight and accidentally attack him he’d make some joke about how you need to take that energy to the sparring gym the next day

How does he take care of you: Garrick would listen to you like Bodhi but I don’t think he’d be as present throughout the convo, mostly because he’s running though scenarios to see what he can do to make sure the nightmares go away.

And post-nightmare care with Garrick is great

After you fall back asleep he’s sneaking out in the morning to get you breakfast in bed or he’s using his “Xaden is my friend” card with senior leadership or Brennan to push back any matches or get you excused from class

He’s also doing side guard dog duties and giving angry eyes or quick quips to anyone who says how tired you look the next day

Xaden

Ok do not come for me

I do not think he’d be the best person to take care of you after a nightmare

I don’t think this man had a restful night himself since before the apostasy so I feel like he too is working through some shit himself

He probably wouldn’t know you had nightmares unless you told him directly. And honestly he’d be a little stuck on how to take care of you.

He’d hold you, ask if you want to talk and kiss your forehead but it’s very surface level

Nightmares are hard for him, and that’s okay. He’s great at other things

Though he’d make sure that if he can’t help you, you’re getting Bodhis kindness and Garricks careful planning to make sure you’re taken care of.

Honestly he’d probably get Bodhi and Garrick in a room and be like “Y/N is having nightmares. Fix it.” Lolol

And he’s there too! Not gonna lie but if he’s super confused on how to help you he’s using his signet to find out what the nightmare was. And if it’s related to any living person in the quadrant. He’s going after them lolol

He’s the male lead equivalent to “you were mean to my partner in a dream and now I am pissed and going to kick your ass”

[she-whatshername]

Thoughts while in my cold medicine induced haze

Prompt: how absolutely terrible the Marked Ones would be at taking care of you. Because they can’t be perfect at everything

Xaden:

The fault: too overprotective

“Tell me again,” he asked, “who were you with yesterday?”

“Huh? Xaden, why?” You grumbled hoarsely while pulling the covers up to your chin. It had been ten minutes since Xaden came into your room with a cup of tea and all of it was spent asking weird questions. The bedside manner this man had was…questionable. Pun intended. You just wanted him to snuggle and pamper you, was that too much to ask?!

“That Ridoc kid was sneezing this morning. Didn’t even cover his mouth,” he explained. He stood up from the edge of your bed, practically pacing. “Saw him yesterday didn’t you? I knew he was behind it.”

“Love. Please just lay with me.”

He grumbled while laying next to you, his arms wrapping around your waist. Finally. This was the comfort you were seeking. You begsn to close your eyes and settle for a nap.

“…want me to stab him a few times for you?”

Oh for fucks sakes! You let out an annoyed groan and threw the covers over your head, not before throwing Xaden and his ridiculous theories out of your room for the rest of the afternoon.

Garrick:

The fault: too handsy

“Thank you so much for the tea, Garrick.” You mumbled from the nest of covers you were under on the bed.

“Aww, you say my name so cute when you’re all stuffed up like that.” He smirked while sitting on the bed next to you. “You know, you look really hot for being sick as shit.”

You narrowed your eyes at him. Was he serious? You were in the middle of a cold sweat, “I haven’t even showered today.”

A glint if mischief appeared in his eyes, “dirty girl.”

“Enough. Keep it in your pants Tavis, I’m sick!” Gods, normally you would find his libido and teasing tolerable but today? not the day.

But this was Garrick. It was a losing battle, “You’re so hot when you order me around like that. I’m kidding - don’t look at me like that. Just get some sleep okay?”

You rolled away from him and closed your eyes, hoping a nap would make you feel any bit better. After about an hour you woke, rising from the bed to head to the bathroom. You walked past Garrick who was lounging on a chair by the washroom door. It was nice he stayed with you while you slept. But that affection quickly ended once you felt his hand careen against your ass in a playful slap.

And while you’d normally find love taps like that endearing, you decided to return the favor and throw Garrick out of your room on his own ass.

Bodhi:

The fault: none! Angel this one is

Though, he’s probably such a hovering partner lolol

“I got your tea, love.”

“Thanks Bodhi.” You smiled at him while snuggling into your sheets. Now that you had some tea a nap wouldn’t be too far off. Just want you need.

“Of course. Need anything else? A book?”

“No, darling. I’m good.”

“Fluff your pillows?”

“You’re so sweet. I’m fine.”

“Need some more medicine?”

“All good.”

“Want me to get you lunch? Have you eaten?”

“No, and yes. I’m all set.”

“Need a massage?”

“No.”

“Want some help reorganizing your blankets?”

“Bodhi.”

“Can I get you some water?”

“Please-“

“Can I help you clean up in here?”

You groan and throw the blankets over your face as you attempt to silence the sounds of his questions and the other noises as he began to clean your room.

A Tyrrish men headcanon you did ask for - part 2

For the darling @grayvapor

Prompt: omg if you’re still looking for requests for them, I would LOVE a post about how they react when their child (son or daughter, either one) needs to be disciplined for causing a lil toooo much chaos in Riorson house and breaking something valuable/interrupting a Very Important Meeting™️ with their shenanigans

Bodhi:

Let’s start with the basics - how many kids does he have: if I had my way with this series Bodhi and his partner would have a lot of kids. So I let’s just say 3, for now haha.

Who is causing the trouble: eldest and second eldest. The two are caught sneaking sweets out of the kitchen. So he’s called out of his very important meeting to talk to them

Let’s be real, he’s kind of smiling because that’s what he and Xaden did when they were little

So he’s not too hard on them. Is very calm on why what they did was wrong and the importance of being patient to wait for after dinner etc.

While he’s forgiving his partner isn’t. They are a bit more strict. Lolol the kids are afraid of her and Bodhi is usually like “don’t make me get your mother.”

Xaden:

Let’s start with the basics - how many kids does he have: probably one. A daughter. And she’s best friends with all of Bodhi’s kids

Lolol this is already cracking me up

Who’s causing the trouble: daughter knocks over a Poromish sculpture while running through the halls and gets pulled into the Assembly room, interrupting very important meeting

Xaden just laughs. You think he’s going to discipline his kid?

His kid. His house. His sculptures. And if it’s he and Violet’s child or their daughter looks anything like her, he’s not doing shit.

He’s like, “you hurt sweetie? Oh Good. I hated that sculpture. It was a gift from Tecarus and I was going to get rid of it soon. Did I ever tell you the time me and mommy kicked his ass in Cordyn?…”

Lolol this child will get away with everything. She can do no wrong

Will probably cancel the meeting and get her a piece of cake if she’s crying because the sound of the sculpture falling scared her

Garrick:

Ok. I don’t think he or Imogen will have kids.

But he will absolutely be fun uncle.

Best uncle

Like. If any of Bodhi or Garricks kids get in trouble he’s bailing them out

Picture this. All the Durran and Riorson kids get in trouble for sneaking out to the hatching grounds to see a baby dragon and get caught up in some shit and Bodhi and xaden are ready to lay down the law and Garrick’s like, “I know you’re both busy. I’ll handle the little shits”

A soon as they leave Garrick just starts laughing and is like “can’t believe you walked into a dragons den…look if you want to do it again and not get caught here’s what you do.”

Uncle Garrick is the best

Will let all the kids play with his swords and weapons only to get yelled at by everyone

“You gave her a SWORD Garrick? She’s three!!”

[she-whatshername]

A sleepy Tyrrish Men headcanon

Featuring Bodhi

Also not proofread all lolol

How does he sleep: slightly curled to the side, arm underneath his pillow holding it slightly

Any pillows? Yeah, since coming back to Aretia Bodhis finally giving himself the comforts he had missed from before the first rebellion. He has at least 4 pillows on his bed and uses 2 to rest his head. I think he likes to be surrounded in comfort and doesn’t want to feel alone

How many blankets? Bodhi was born to snuggle. He’s got one sheet and at minimum two blankets. A thick quilt from his mum and a fur throw from his father. He 100% coslept with his parents when he was young and begged to sleep over in Xaden and Garrick’s room as he got older. So, makes sense he likes to feel bundled and warm each night

Like, when you agree to stay over and make a habit of doing so he is so happy and feels so loved.

Does he snore: small snores, but it’s endearing and not alarming lolol

Nightmares? Yeah, just be there for him. Rub his shoulders and back. Hold him

Cuddler? Oh yes. And he’s so warm!! Anytime you crawl into bed afterwards Bodhi will turn and wrap his arms around you, sometimes cupping your stomach and chest and it’s an amazing feeling to be enveloped in the heat of his skin, plus with the blankets and pillows, you’re ready for bed

Goodnight kiss? Yes. Kisses on the lips, no matter how tired he is.

Is he waking up for late night smooches? No, he sleeps rather soundly and for most of the night but once he is up in the morning, he up…for all the things lolol
