Rayllum, 10 babies and Xadian family planning

I’m trying to post the next chapter of Dark Alternative, but AO3 is very wonky, so you’re going to be subjected to my rambling thoughts on my new WIP for Work in Progress Wednesday.

So, over my vacation, I’ve been plagued by post-season 7 fanfic ideas. Short fics, obviously. No more than three chapters, as usual.

What’s got me intrigued right now, is how the continent of Xadia, or at least, a select group of people, will manage with living with the knowledge that Aaravos, in some form, is coming back in seven years. How would that affect politics and society, as well as the individual characters and the choices they make knowing that?

The regular folks would struggle to miss that whole eternal darkness and dead creatures thing that happened, but what do they know about exactly what went down?

And what do they know about what’s to come?

You know me, I’m a Rayllum person, so pretty much any fic of mine is a Rayllum fic, and this current idea is focused on how this particular threat affects the next stage of their lives.

Without a doubt, when we last saw Rayllum they were totally committed to each other and are fully ride or die… but how would that devotion relate to their future, in particular, the subject of children?

Now, I’m an angster in my deep dark heart, so while I’m sure many people could conceive of a fic where Rayllum are secure in their ability to defeat Aaravos come round two, that ain’t where my brain was ever going to go.

Rayllum are in love and clearly want a future together. Callum was openly planning a quaint little one in the Silvergrove before they were rudely interrupted by the whole end of the world dealio.

So, where does that leave them now (in my angsty reality anyway)?

In their youth, they both leaned into their more paranoid natures (Rayla leaving without Callum in TTM and Callum getting physical with Soren in season 4), and while they’ve both grown and matured since then, would such a threat as the world ending be enough to bring that paranoia right on back?

Which leaves me with my current fic planning conundrum.

Assuming Rayllum decided to forego the whole having kids thing until Aaravos is imprisoned again, how likely is it that they could plan when to have a family.

I’ve seen people say that the world of The Dragon Prince is in a medieval setting, and so people had children younger then, which, aside from not being the entire story, doesn’t feel like it really applies to a world with magic and dragons, a world that lacks the sexism and gender roles that are also associated with medieval times or other more grounded works set then.

Additionally, looking at canon, I think it could be reasonably argued that some form of birth control is readily available in the setting. In fact, I think it’s likely multiple forms of birth control exist in the world of The Dragon Prince.

From humans to elves, we don’t see large families normally associated with the inability to plan a family via the use of effective birth control. The “largest” family we see are the Sunfire monarchs, with three children. Viren and Lissa had two children only. Sarai may well have had more children had she lived, but Rayla’s parents spent multiple years at the Storm Spire and she remained an only child.

I can’t imagine there’s much in the way of entertainment at the Storm Spire either. Sure, they could abstain or get creative, but oof, hasn’t enough been asked of them?

Even looking at prior generations, we do not see large families. Given the closeness in ages of the siblings we know of, it also seems unlikely to me that children were lost in childbirth or to childhood illnesses.

To me, it seems far more likely that family planning is active in Xadia and would be a tool Callum and Rayla could exercise.

Clearly, no birth control is infallible (or I guess it can be, magic and all) and I assume Miyana’s twins were unplanned.

Personally, I head canon Rayla herself was an oopsie baby in order to further explain the complications of her parents being called away to join the Dragon Guard.

Where am I going with this? I don’t even know anymore.

I suppose, to me, it’s not a foregone conclusion that in seven years Rayllum would have a kid (or indeed multiple). The setting of the world doesn’t imply that it’s particularly difficult to prevent pregnancy. In fact, the small families imply to me that family planning is a cultural norm among elves and humans.

Faced with the imminent threat of Aaravos’ return, would Rayllum plan to start a family? Certainly, people put off having children for far lesser reasons.

We also don’t know how using dark magic, even in that limited capacity, has affected Callum and the potential for him to get possessed again. It was clearly enough to physically mark him, but does that go deeper?

Would imprisoning Aaravos once again result in an inevitable possession?

Not great when Dad gets taken over and abandons the family.

Or worse, Mum has to take him out.

Angsty though!

As usual, I’ll be doing my own thing in my fics, but I’m interested to see where Arc 3 goes with this (optimistically assuming we get it). There are a lot of factors at play to explain why we might see a lot of the characters in a state of stasis. Seven years isn’t that long when you’re facing the world ending, after all. Particularly when you’re likely to play a very active part in trying to stop that returning apocalypse.

So, which way to go? I see the angst potential in both.

On one hand, you’ve got the pain and desperation of protecting your kid from a returned Aaravos, or perhaps worse, a possessed Dad.

But on the other, you’ve got two people who likely want to take the next steps in their lives, but feel the pressure of a ticking bomb haunting them and potentially preventing them from moving forward.

Either way, bring on the pain.

[tategaminu]

Rayla will be pregnant in Arc 3 (trust me bro)

This whole thing is a mix of analysis and coping, while trying to be as self-indulgent as possible. It actually makes sense, I swear but take it as mostly me trying to gaslight you into believing Rayla will get paegant.

With the upcoming Arc 3, we’ll get to see our two blorbos at the fresh age of 24 and 25. This means that not only might they be married, but they could also become parents. While Rayla and Callum are both very parental people, but would they have children in a world that's about to be doomed when a certain giant purple man comes back from the sky?

Would Callum and Rayla follow their desire for a domestic life while preparing for Aaravos, or would they renounce it? Would they bring a child into this world knowing it may end? Would they have a kid, even knowing that Aaravos might kill them, leaving the child orphaned?

I’m leaning towards yes, even if it’s an oopsie, but let me lay out the different points here LET'S GOOOO

Implications for the future and meaning

I'm 50/50 on whether Rayla and Callum will decide to have children or not.

I think they will get married, but having children is a completely different matter. Aaravos will return in seven years, and even if they prepare, the threat of him truly dooming the world and killing them all still looms over them

If they decide to have children, it would be because they want to continue with their lives, even with Aaravos returning. If they choose not to, it may be because they don’t want to be 'selfish' — not wanting to bring a potential orphan into the world or a child who might die young. There’s so much at stake here, especially considering the trauma they both carry with their parents. Callum lost his dad and mom at a very young age, and his relationship with his stepdad was somewhat strained. Rayla was abandoned by her parents and later faced issues with her adoptive ones. These experiences could definitely influence their decision. Don’t get me wrong, they would be amazing parents, but these fears and past traumas could hold them back.

At the end of the day, just as Opeli says, their lives must go on. They can’t just wait forever for Aaravos to be gone for good, even if he returns in seven years. But the question is — will they even notice? Some sources say the time skip might be as much as 12 years. What if Aaravos spends five of those years planning to take them down? Will they wait that long?

Of course, Callum is still worried about all of this, because he’s deeply afraid of what the future holds — what Aaravos might do to him and his loved ones.

Whether the pregnancy they might have is planned or not, I think they would choose to go through with it. As I mentioned, they’re both very parental people and love each other so much, they would love the life they would create together so would they really renounce that life — a life they want — because of Aaravos? That would be unfair to them. It could also echo Janai's words in season 6:

With you. Callum and Rayla facing the dangerous times ahead, together.

And not putting off the good things (their baby and life together) for fear of the bad (Aaravos).

Miyana and the ten babies scene

It was a big surprise that we got a pregnant Miyana this season, and it seemed to be an oopsie pregnancy. They both had a secret relationship before, and after that, they were committing war crimes together—there’s no way they planned this. So, the creators not shying away from surprising pregnancies means that Rayllum having one isn’t impossible. Now, would they repeat themselves? sure, why not? after all, Miyana's pregnancy wasn't that present in the season.

Anyways, to get to the main point, I think Miyana's pregnancy served not only as a plot device but also for foreshadowing and parallelism.

Dear bad-taste-in-men Miyana talks about how she wants to love her child and have her child feel loved, how she wants their dream to come true—a quiet life, full of happiness and love for their kid.

Then Miyana asks him to fight, to stay alive for both of them. Karim ends up fighting... but not in the way she expected, and he loses his life. However, we could see this scenario playing out the same way, but turned around with you know who?

Exactly! Them.

Because right after Miyana and Karim's scene, we jump to these two.

Specifically, these two talking about having a quiet, nice life together—this time, the guy is the one expressing it to the girl, and she accepts.

In the same episode, we get Callum speaking fondly of his hypothetical children with Rayla, while Karim refers to his unborn child as an heir, never once calling them a baby. (There’s a lot of talk about having babies for a kids' show, lol.) It really shows that Callum is truly made of dad material, unlike Karim. And of course, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these two scenes are in the same episode—it's clearly done for foreshadowing purposes.

Note that Callum isn’t surprised by the question at all—this guy has 100% thought about his kidos with Rayla before.

This scene could easily be a throwaway joke, but why would they include it if that’s the case? I think it’s more likely foreshadowing. I don’t think they’ll have ten kids, but Callum is very open about wanting to be a dad, and the way Rayla treats children and animals… yeah, these two are definitely going to be parents eventually.

Callum definitely wants to have babies with her—he doesn’t even deny it, which hints at some juicy things for the future.He also talks about how and elf/human baby would look, which is something great considering they were at war just two years ago.

I’ve said this before because I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but the series ending with Rayla and Callum surviving and bringing a new life into the world—a half-elf, half-human child—would not only show that they’ve made it through everything and have a bright future ahead, but it would also symbolize the full union and peaceful coexistence of humans and elves.

TTM

This is a bit of a stretch, but why not add it? This comic is after all, mostly about them. We get this iconic scene where our little muffins hold hands for the ceremony. Of course, this is part of the ritual, but Callum also does it to show his love.

This ritual is about the rebirth of Phoe-Phoe. Rayla, of course, is distraught about her parents after what Lujanne says, but her words are interesting.

'Death is frightening, birth can be as well — elf and human, each one is equally vulnerable in the beginning and in the end.'

Let that fact be humbling, let it bind us together- so also does life come from death. This is a cycle, not an ending.

II think having Rayla and Callum here, with those words, could suggest something for the future. They’re going to be in a situation filled with impending doom — and, of course, death. But who's to say there won’t also be rebirth? After all, it’s a cycle, and future life could be a beacon of hope in the darkness that’s about to come.

The child being born at the end could represent the cycle of death and life — new life after (or perhaps before) Aaravos’ defeat, symbolizing the balance between the two. It could mean that even in the face of death, there will be life.

Moment of Truth

In Moment of Truth, we see Viren's backstory with Lissa and his children. We know how relevant the parallels between Callum and Viren are—what if they also parallel each other as fathers?

Viren was shown to do anything for Soren when he was a child, and Callum has repeatedly shown he would do anything for Ezran and Rayla. If we see Callum as a father, we’ll likely see him doing anything for his child as well, further paralleling his character arc with Viren's.

What caught my attention in this episode is the contrast between Lissa and Rayla. We find out that Lissa abandoned Viren because he mistreated her, in the same episode where Callum is literally healed by his love for Rayla. In this episode, we also see Viren's way of parenting, but Callum and he can’t fully parallel in that regard... yet.

Sir Puff

Sir Puff and a Rayllum baby would be parallels, HEAR ME OUT.

Puff is technically the first 'elf/human' hybrid we see in the whole series. Of course, he’s not a full one—he’s a homunculus—but still, he’s born from a human and an elf.

Sir Puff was an artificial elf/human child created by two people who didn’t love each other, 'without consent,' and existing solely to be sacrificed to extend someone else’s life.

But Rayllum’s baby? That would be a child born the natural way, from two people who love each other deeply, and who wouldn’t be sacrificed. They would be loved and taken care of. Sir Puff and a Rayllum baby would be the same thing in completely opposite ways.

I’ve been thinking for a while—what if the reveal was something like this? Rayla saying 'our child,' but in a completely different context, of course.

At the same time, Viren and Sir Puff mirror some of the sacrifice themes that Rayllum faces. Rayla wanted Callum to sacrifice her if he ever had to choose between the greater good and her—she was willing to sacrifice Callum, which would also mean sacrificing herself. But what if Rayla was pregnant? That would complicate everything. Not only would she be sacrificed, but a child as well.

Callum has already admitted that he would do anything for her, even after 'promising' he would choose the greater good. But what about Rayla? Would she be less self-sacrificial if she were carrying a child? Would she still be willing to kill Callum if it meant their child would never meet him? Because one thing is sacrificing her happiness with him; another is taking the father away from their child.

Of course, Rayla doesn’t want to hurt Callum, but she was willing to respect his wishes in Nova. How much would that change after seven years and with a baby on the way? Maybe Rayla would feel even more motivated to save him. While I do believe she would still try to save him regardless, having a child might really strengthen her resolve.

Leola (and her last wish)

Of course, we get the sweet ending of Arc 2. It’s not just a regular episode or the season finale, but the end of an entire arc that’s leading into a new one.

And what do we get in the end? Callum and Rayla sharing a sweet moment, followed by a shot of Leola's Last Wish in the sky. Leola’s wish was for every child to know they are loved. Of course, this message isn’t just related to Rayllum—it’s for Leola, and for all the children in their universe. It’s a message for the audience, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this star has been related to Rayllum, twice.

The first time we learned about Leola's Last Wish was also during a moment where Callum and Rayla shared something sweet. To me, that feels like foreshadowing of them having children and loving them, just as Leola wished. This star and her wish could have appeared in any other scene of the show, but it was shown alongside Rayllum.

Leola was a child who was different and killed unfairly. In the end, Rayllum’s future child(ren) will also be different, but their parents and everyone around them will love them, and hopefully, a tragedy like that won’t happen again. I think there could be some really interesting parallels between Leola and a potential Rayllum child, especially when considering the conflict between Callum and Aaravos. With Callum being a father too, it would definitely make things more… complicated? Or maybe more interesting? Aaravos would certainly find a way to use it to his advantage.

The reveal of Leola's Last Wish at the end is very similar to something, wanna know what? exactly,

Callum finding his one truth (his love for Rayla). Them both embracing and making light (AKA life).

Also as a friend pointed out, it looks like an egg. AN EGG. AN E G G.

Maybe we will see this sweet scene once more, but with Rayla and Callum this time. Wouldn't that be sweet?

This is my speculation and weirdness, Aaron.

[chocolatecake47]

Don’t get me wrong I think about them all day every day but you know when some days the gravity of the entire plot just hits you so hard you’re like woah, Rayla jumped off a cliff at 15 and Callum jumped after her Ezran almost drowned at 9 Callum’s mother died when he was 5 or something how the hell did he pick himself back up from that AND take care of his baby brother Ezran was full on orphaned at age 9 AND he’s a child king running a country and Rayla’s village banished a teenager and blames her for murder Claudia brought her dad back from the dead and is going a lil psycho 😊 Rayla’s spent two years alone probably in the depths of the woods and Callum got possessed and Soren was mentally tortured and probably believed he was stupid for 18 years not to mention paralyzed at one point and Rayla left in the middle of the night because she thinks the world is on her shoulders alone and Callum punched someone for her and Ezran stomped the arrow used to kill his dad and stared down an arch dragon and probably hasn’t properly processed any of his grief and cheerful fun-loving Terry murdered someone for his girlfriend and Rayla was ready to loose a hand in the most painful excruciating way imaginable for her little brother and Callum was ready to loose his life and Soren probably spent countless nights awake and worried wondering where his little sister was and Rayla’s entire family is trapped in dark magic coins after being assumed dead and Callum was electrocuted and tortured on a pirate ship and Soren stabbed his father through the chest for Ezran's life and that creepy sir sparkepuff thing came out of a cocoon and Harrow doomed the world for Sarai and now we’re probably going to watch history repeat itself, and you’re just like wow ohmygod how horrendous that is actually a lot of dark shit to process 😃?

No just me okay whatever

Douzième Fille

12th girl

××《☆》××

××《☆》××

Looking back at the day you first met, you realise how far you've gone. You appreciate the little things in life and some little people, too.

===

Joseph Descamps x Reader

Warnings: This is literally just plain fluff, LAST CHAPTER OF DOUZIÈME FILLE!!!

===

===

Chapter ten: I love you

===

You had six best days of your life.

Paris, France. 1973.

The wedding was one of the best days of your life. You had a beautiful gown, a beautiful cathedral, a beautiful ceremony, and a beautiful husband.

Everything was perdect from the venue, to the food, to the gifts, and to the guests.

You saw old friends. Callum, of course, came and was pronounced man of honour by Joseph. Simone and Jean Pierre had gotten locked in about two years ago, right after they finished college. Michèle and Laubrac came back after profuse apologies of leaving. They haven't married each other yet, but you have a feeling it's soon. Also because Joseph told you that Laubrac told him that he'll propose soon.

Europe Trip, 1973

The second best day of your life was your honeymoon. You and your now husband went around Europe. Going to places you've already been and places you haven't gone to.

A side note, you left that celebrity profile ages ago. It was too toxic anyway, with all the drama you didn't want to get into. Callum did the opposite of this. You're happy for him. And his fiancé, or as he likes to call him, his husband.

Bordeux, 1974

Moving was hard, but it was the third best day of your life. And carrying Briseis was a part of it.

Briseis, your first born. She was named after a character from the Iliad, the same Iliad you had presented in that project with Joseph back in high school.

She was as bright as her father, always laughing and wanting to have fun. Joseph loves her so much to the point that he will always be the one to put her back to sleep when she wakes in the early morning. He does that because he loves you, too.

Bordeux, 1976

The fourth best day of your life was when you gave birth to George.

George was named after your late cat you had in high school. He was taken care of both you and Joseph, which held a special place in your heart. Truly, George, your cat was your first child. But, let's not forget Briseis.

Briseis was two now, gaining the ability to speak, walk, run, whatever drained her unsifting energy. You were most proud, as well as your loving husband.

One of these nights, you'd catch him talking to both of them, talking about whatever they wanted to talk about, telling them stories, showing them fun. They fall sound asleep after, and you, for one, are grateful for him.

Also, you adopted two cats. One Achilles, one Patroclus. What? You couldn't help it.

Bordeux, 1980

Only a few months ago, your beautiful Callum was born. He was obviously named after your best friend. Callum cried when he found out. That was the fifth best day of your life.

He flew all the way to where you lived, seeing as now he lived with his lover in Sicily. He gave him countless amounts of gifts, even the ones month old babies couldn't use.

The house was fully packed. Your three children, two pets, and a mother and a father. Their very beautiful father.

You were in your 30s now, and you're so glad you're in this age with him by your side.

You sit in your husbands office, reading a book in the corner of the room. He was finishing up some papers, cigarettes between his lips, and sometime later blowing out the smoke.

You were halfway through a stanza when you heard a record break. Music started playing, the volume going up slowly. You look up from your hardcover to Joseph standing there, hands in his pockets and an eye on you. You raise your eyebrows. He does so, too.

"Dance with me, honey." He says, walking towards you slowly after he butted his cigarette out. You roll your eyes, putting your book down.

"You'll wake the kids up with that music." Even after saying that, you get up anyways, grabbing the hands he offered you a while ago.

He shrugs simply, sliding a hand on your hip and raising his other. "We'll take them back to sleep then. Dance with me." He presses his forehead to yours, kissing the tip of your nose.

You can't help but close your eyes, relaxation hitting your body like a truck. It's been a while since you felt like this. You both had been so busy with work or with the kids. You needed this. He did, too.

He starts to hum along the song. "I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you heard the night before."

Your mind flashes back to your high school days. The weeks of ignoring each other was wasting time that could've been used for loving instead.

"And though it's just a line to you, for me, it's true and never seemed so right before."

You look back at the first day of school. You thought you hated him. You thought he hated you. But in trutg it was the opposite, he confessed. He loved you the second he laid eyes on you, and you had been too blind to see, trying to distract yourself from the fact you did actually love him, too.

"I practice every day to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come true. But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you."

Seven years you were away from each other. He told you how much he missed you that night after the gala. He told you he prepared, he practised, because he didn't want to mess anything up. You told him nothing could because even after convincing yourself in high school that you didn't love him, you still did.

"The time is right. Your perfume fills my head. The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue." He turns you to spin, and you get back to your place in front of him, swaying with a hand on his chest.

"And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like, "I love you. "" He looks deep into your eyes, now staying still. He takes your lifted hand to his lips, pressing his pretty pink lips on it.

"I love you." He says, the instruments in the background adding to the moment. You smile, and he mirrors you. You place a kiss on those lips, tilting your head a bit. You part away.

"I love you." You say, caressing his cheeks. You're so glad you ended up here. With him. This was your sixth favourite day of your life.

"Mommy? Daddy?" A tiny voice asks. You both turn your head to Briseis, eyes droopy and hair a mess. She walks closer to the two of you, and Joseph does the task of lifting her up to your level.

"Yes, sweetheart? Why aren't you asleep?" Joseph said gently, and you can't help but show a smile.

"I can't. I wanna hear a story." You two nod at each other before carrying on to turn the record player off and heading to Briseis' room.

Once you tuck her in well, leaving the bedside lamp on, you question. "Alright, which story do you want for tonight." Joseph sits on the other side, brushing your daughter's hair with his fingers.

"How did you two meet?" She asks, fluffing her blanket up. You and Joseph look at each other, smiling knowingly, before you continue.

"Well, this is where it started. It was 1963. They mixed boys and girls in the same school. I was the twelfth girl."

Moonshadow Ages

So I could go on for hours about what we know about the culture and history of Moonshadow elves, but yk what would be really funny?

Rayla is 15 in season 1 and nobody seems to bat an eye at her being on a high-profile assassination and treated the same as anyone else on it. When she was 9, Runaan noted her horns were sharpening and would be fully grown soon (the short story Lunabloom). Additionally, the art of baby Rayla in Lunabloom is the only time we see a young Moonshadow elf with horns that aren't fully grown that have the wood grain sort of markings that the adults have in the show.

Theory: Moonshadow elves have a different standard of majority than humans do. Once their horns are fully grown and marked, they may still live with your parents (as Rayla does), but they're effectively adults within a larger societal sense. Rayla's been considered sort of the equivalent of humans between 18 and 25 this entire time - adult enough to be treated as one, but with passive acknowledgement that she does still have growing up and stabilizing to do.

Which produces the sheer comedic value of post-season 7, at Callum's 18th birthday, someone congratulating Callum on finally being a grown man and Rayla just having this record scratch moment

"What do ye mean I've been datin' a teenager!" "Rayla, you are only a year older than me??" "I've been a grown woman since before we met!!" "I think - and stay with me on this - I think we might be having a culture clash moment, honey"

[babybearnation]

Hey bear I would like to submit an official event request for headcanons for Pato, Jack, Liam, Marcus, Callum and Christian Mansell with a gn partner with anxiety or autism please

Also the day I became 🥔 anon I had potatoes for dinner so that was fun ❤️

🥔 anon

dude, i'm irish, i fucking love potatoes. please keep in mind that i am not autistic, therefore i am basing the autism section off of a few friends/family members, as well as my own sensitivities with textures & foods, etc. also i know i said only one idea per ask but i liked both options so much that i'm doing both :D

this got long, so everything is under the cut!

gn!reader with anxiety:

pato o'ward:

an actual sweetheart who will never make you feel bad

if you need some time alone, he'll reluctantly give you it, but if there's any way he can stay with you whilst you're going through an anxious spell or an anxiety attack, you best bet he's staying there

he'll hide you from the camera crews and try and make it seem like he's just loving on you, rather than shielding you from the world

if you have any anxious habits that upset you like biting your nails or scratching at yourself, pato will spend ages googling and working on ways to prevent you from making yourself feel worse

genuinely such a sweetheart who will drop everything for you if you start having an anxiety attack

jack doohan:

jack probably knows what its like to have anxiety considering his family and the legacy he has to somewhat live up to

therefore, he's gonna be really sweet and patient with you and your struggles

he may not understand what triggers your anxiety attacks, but you best bet he'll figure out every single way he can calm you down

he refuses to let you feel bad for your anxiety and he will not let you apologise to him for any anxiety attacks you may have

definitely tries to create a safe space for you in alpine's hospitality because he totally understands the desire to hide away and if he can offer you a safe version of that, he will

liam lawson:

aint nobody fucking with his baby when you have an anxiety attack

have you seen this man's glare? he's not letting anyone get close to you and make things worse for you, no fucking way

much like pato, he'd probably be reluctant to leave you alone but if you're in his driver's room, he's a bit less reluctant because he knows that's a safer space for you to hide that just a random side path in the paddock

if you need something of his to help calm down, he will eagerly hand it over. his hoodie? here you go. his shirt? he will walk halfway across the paddock shirtless to go get another one if he needs to. his phone? you'll let him know if anyone important calls.

biggest defender and protector of you and your privacy and safety

marcus armstrong:

must be a kiwi thing because i just KNOW this man be glaring at any camera crews or reporters who try and interrupt him whilst he's with you mid-panic attack

he will literally employ his friends (callum, robert, his teammates at MSR, etc.) to help protect you

it might be obsessive but he always checks that you're okay 5+ times before he gets in the car because he doesn't want you to go into an anxiety attack without him or his friends there to help you

if he needs to, he will educate everyone in MSR or hell, even the entire indycar paddock, on how to deal with anxiety attacks and what to do if you have one

he is SERIOUS about his job as your boyfriend and ain't no one hurtin' his BABY

callum ilott:

callum will be so fucking gentle and delicate with you

the last thing he'd wanna do is exacerbate the problem so when you're mid anxiety attack, he'll whisper soothing words to you, his touch is soft and gentle, and he never treads too far or too fast, afraid to startle and upset you

like marcus, callum will make sure prema knows how to take care of you before the season starts just in case an anxiety attack comes when he's busy doing media or off racing

he's also not afraid to sprint halfway across the paddock to get you anything you need. water? he's finding the nearest fresh source. his hoodie? already retrieved it from his driver's room just for you

he will go above and beyond to make sure you are safe and happy and you're not struggling - that's the very last thing he wants :(

chistian mansell:

he's already fully prepared to help you way before he even met you because he just seems like the kind of guy who'd want to help anyone out any way he can, even if he doesn't know them

he's very ready and willing to drop everything for you - he'd probably even refuse to get in the car if you were mid-anxiety attack or something which makes you stress out even more bcuz PLEASE get in the fucking car, this is your JOB christian

after that, i think he'll work hard to make sure something like that doesn't happen again - he'll help you develop coping mechanisms or he'll ensure that there are staff members who can help you

if anyone has the SLIGHTEST negative piece to say about your anxiety, he will not hesitate to call them out. fuck outta here with that bs

is not afraid to employ the help of pepe marti and have the two of them make massive fools of themselves if it means you'll laugh and smile and calm down - he'll do it, don't test him!

autistic!gn!reader:

pato o'ward:

once again, pato is a sweetheart, let that be known, hear ye hear ye

this man has about 8 bajillion copies of your comfort items. stim toys, chew toys, headphones, hoodies, plushies - whatever you need, he's got 14 variants in his driver's room alone.

if you find the paddock too overwhelming, pato will never force you to go and he will get the best laptop with the best streaming service for his races so that way you can watch at your own comfort level, even though you're literally in the hotel near the track

pato can be quite loud and chaotic, but he's always so careful with you and he will not be afraid to tell people to shut the fuck up if they are being too much

is so down for your weighted blanket, i just know he finds it really relaxing and grounding after a tough race

jack doohan:

jack is so down to just yap at you if you want that when you go non or semiverbal, im not even joking

even though he's clearly not that important in the eyes of alpine, he'll try and get pierre to get alpine to make a nicer material for his team kit that way the texture doesn't upset you

if you find that touching or playing or fiddling with the hair, clothes or accessories of another person calms you down, he's willing to let you fiddle away (he'll apologise a BILLION times over for shaving his hair if you liked playing with it)

jack is pretty friendly and nice, but he will quickly become vicious if anyone upsets or mocks you. he will straight up not tolerate that shit at all

willing to do whatever it takes to make you comfortable when coming to the race track but he knows how loud it is so he won't ever, at all, force you to go with him if you're not comfortable doing so

liam lawson:

gets obsessed with your special interests/hyperfixations because he loves listening to you talk about them and he'll end up sharing any relevant fun facts you teach him with his fellow drivers/his team

he knows unfamiliar touch can be scary to you so he'll warn literally EVERYONE that they have to be careful around you - he refuses to potentially put you in a situation where you get overwhelmed or have a meltdown because that is the last thing he wants

speaking of meltdowns, he's really good at helping you calm down from them - he knows all the right things to say or not say, he knows which comfort items help you calm down quickest and he's even willing to let you scratch at him if that's something that helps calm you down

ll30 merch will be the comfiest, most friendly-to-you merch ever because he wants to see you rocking his fit and he refuses to let you be uncomfortable when you do

if anyone is weirded out by your stim toys, he'll start fucking using them himself to normalise it. he's not letting you be judged just for how you deal with the world

marcus armstrong:

this man will change his whole life to suit both yours and his needs because he loves you so much and he's not gonna let you suffer

he gives off chews on plastic vibes so if he catches you chewing random bits of plastic or chew toys/jewellery, he's chill - that's cool to him. as long as you're safe, of course

he never hugs you whilst he's wearing his race suit. those things are uncomfortable as hell for him, therefore he can't imagine what it would feel like for you and he refuses to find out without your explicit consent

will shit talk fellow drivers or even the reporters if any of them are rude about you. he does not care at all and he never will

if you're a biter, you can bite him. he likes it. he won't make it sexual if you don't but if you do, he's not complaining at all.

callum ilott:

always carries your headphones in a special case that way, should you need them, they'll be a) easily identifiable and b) kept safe and secure, usually in the bottom of his bag

always willing to change clothes if they make you uncomfortable. in fact, he might even go so far as to throw them out and replace them because what's the point in wearing certain clothes if his baby can't hug him whilst he's in them?

will prep all his friends and staff members on how to make sure you don't get overwhelmed and what to do if you are and he isn't there to comfort you

your meltdowns scare him because you seem so upset and so hurt and he hates that. he hates you being hurt and so meltdowns are really difficult for him (obviously, he knows they are more difficult for you, but he can't help how he feels)

every race weekend he attends without you will end up with him coming home with a handful of gifts that he knows you'll like - plushies if you like em, sweets & candies & treats that he knows are your comfort foods, etcetc.

christian mansell:

well prepared KING - he's got everything you need the second you tell him you need it

he doesn't really have a huge say in how his team kit is designed so if it's an uncomfortable texture for you, he'll try and stay out of it for as long as possible to avoid upsetting you

if there's certain foods you cannot stand to be in the same room as, he'll make sure that everyone knows not to bring it near him or his driver's room - if he has to lie and say you're allergic for people to take it seriously, then so be it

if you go nonverbal and just make little noises instead of speaking, he will very quickly pick up on your nonverbal language system and be able to decipher it damn near flawlessly

christian is another driver who is not afraid to yell at other drivers or, if he's comforting you, he'll get pepe to go and do it for him instead - he's not letting anyone disrespect you

masterlist directory

callum was a close friend of austin's. they’d met before filming masters of the air, but only grew closer as filming went on. they went their separate ways after doing some press for the series, austin leaving a little early to do some press for dune. but even after, austin was still booked and busy for the whole year. 

he had some time before getting busy with another film and it just so happened that callum was in town, the two had some catching up to do. austin and him went out for dinner together, having a couple drinks like two old friends that hadn’t seen each other in years. after dinner he invited callum over, wanting him to stop by and say hi to you.

“y’know we celebrated two years a week ago. crazy, isn’t it?” austin unlocked his front door, letting callum step in. “we should double date sometime—” he chuckled, “you and dua, us two. it’d be fun.”

callum shoved his hands in his pockets with a nod, “she’d love that.”

usually, you were in the living room catching up on a show or watching a movie until he got home. he furrowed his brows once he noticed you weren’t around, deciding to head to your shared bedroom. he frowned seeing you in bed, sitting beside you and rubbing at your arm. “baby,” he said softly, getting a soft hum in response. “you alright?”

“mhm…” you responded, “sleepy.”

he was about to reply himself when he saw the plushie tucked in the comforter with you, sighing softly. “alright, honey.” he pressed his lips against your forehead, his tone going gentle. “callum’s here, wanted to say hi. i can kick him out—”

“no.” you quickly shot up in bed, the expression on austin’s face going to confused. “i wanna say hi.”

he shifted to sit beside you, keeping his hand on your back. “baby, he doesn’t know.”

you frowned and looked into your lap at his words. austin always knew when you were feeling little, of course, the plushie probably gave it away. but your tone and mannerisms changed quite a bit when you were feeling smaller. some of his friends knew, and some didn’t just out of fear of being judged. if austin could, he’d tell all his friends–he wanted to always brag about how sweet you were. 

but now? callum. you weren’t sure if you wanted to be big just to go say hi to callum or to just…tell him. your brain wasn’t all there, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to really make any decisions. then again, you liked callum a lot. you trusted him, austin trusted him. 

austin could tell you were deep in thought, placing a hand on your knee as a sweet gesture. “hey,” he said softly, “you don’t have to do what you aren't comfortable with.”

you still seemed unsure, fidgeting with your fingers as you thought about it again. “is he gonna be mean about it?”

austin shook his head, “i highly doubt it, baby. highly doubt it.” there was still a bit of hesitation on your face. he never wanted you to feel like you had to tell people. “i can tell him you're feelin’ sick, that you're up here resting.” 

“no, no.” you shook your head. “i-i think…i wanna say hi. i wanna tell him.” 

“how about this…” he took his hands in yours, his voice sweet. “i’ll go talk to him, explain it to him and see if he's on board with it, alright?” 

he was happy to see you agree, that's a relief. callum was one of his closest friends, he couldn't see the man making it weird or finding it uncomfortable. all it took was a light conversation on the couch with him to help him understand what you were going through. he didn't have to explain why or what caused you do fully go into that headspace, callum understood. 

“so…i should talk to them like they're a toddler?” callum reiterated. “because that's what their headspace is like?” 

austin nodded, “yeah, pretty much. if you're comfortable enough, i’m sure they’d love to have someone to play with other than me. so many toys stashed away in here.” he chuckled. 

he glanced around the room, wondering where austin had hid everything. he had to give him props, hiding such a huge part of their relationship. “i’m not judgemental.” 

“i know.” austin nodded, smiling at him. 

it really felt like callum was a natural. he loved hearing about every little stuffed animal you owned—the tiger was the first one austin bought you, the elephant was from the zoo, your favorite plushie was his favorite story of them all. callum made note to buy you a plushie too, although he feared austin may feel a slight pang of jealousy if he did. 

with the two men engrossed in a conversation, sprawled on the sofa while you watched a cartoon—you jumped up suddenly to look at a shelf with some of your little-er games and puzzled, picking up a puzzle where you had to match the shapes with their holes. you set it on the coffee table and tugged at both austin and callum’s sleeves. “puzzle, please?” 

austin chuckled down at you and your mannerisms, “well, not the best way to ask. but you said please.” he glanced at callum, “you in?” 

callum nodded, “i love a good puzzle.” he got down on the floor with you, austin beside him. “ah, this one looks a bit tricky, don't it?” 

this was when callum truly understood how your headspace worked, he noticed how you struggled to get the square into the circle piece—something that was so simple to many adults, not all. he never judged, he was a patient man. “y’might need some help there, kiddo.” 

normally, austin would give you a chance to figure it out yourself. 

but you were struggling a little more than usual this time around, grumbling and constantly putting the puzzle piece into the wrong hole when your brain was telling you so strongly that it was the right spot. why wasn't it fitting? 

callum scooted over to you, lifting you into his lap and chuckling. “hard, isn't it?” he was completely focused on you, not even noticing the loving gaze austin had on not just you, but him too. 

“why doesn't it fit?” you whined. 

he took your small wrist in his, trying to move it with the piece in her hand. “y’see? this is a square, honey. you're trying to put it in the circle. doesn't fit cos’ it’s got edges, pointy edges.” he explained, running his finger along the edges. “try putting it here.” he moved it to the next slot, “does it fit?”

you frowned, “no.” 

“alright,” he nodded, “try the next one.”

you moved your wrist over to the next spot, gasping when it actually fit. “it fit!” you exclaimed, “look, cal!” you pulled his attention back, “it fit!” 

“good job, honey!” callum cheered, clapping excitedly and patting the top of your head. 

“how about the next piece, huh?” austin grinned, passing you the next one.

“daddy!” you made grabby hands at austin, wanting him to hold you next. him and callum immediately switched spots, now callum was looking at both you and austin with a lovingly gaze. it was such a sweet dynamic. he couldn't get enough of you. 

truth is, callum always had a soft spot for you. he had a soft spot for austin too. he couldn't help the googly eyes sometimes. the two of you just had the sweetest dynamic going on, he wanted in on it too. not romantically, of course. he loved his girlfriend, but he wanted to spend time with you again for sure. 

it didn't stop at puzzles, he played a little more with you, coloring too, which he enjoyed doing a lot with you. austin seemed to notice how relaxed callum seemed to be with you, letting you both bond.

it ended with the three of you on the couch, you in the middle, austin on the other side and callum on your other. you dozed off in the middle of your cartoon, head resting on callums shoulder. 

austin's gaze met with callum’s a soft smile playing on his lips. “what do you think?” he asked in a hushed tone, not wanting to wake sleeping beauty in between them.

“set me up for a play date.”

fool's gold

Lando Norris x Amelie Dayman

Summary: Lando and Max share a quiet moment on the golf course in Phoenix, where Lando opens up about his lingering feelings for Amelie after an unexpected encounter with her brother, Callum, in Miami.

Wordcount: 1.1 k

Warnings: none

full masterlist // request over here!

May 8th, 2022 - Miami, FL

Lando stormed out of the McLaren motorhome, jaw clenched, hands stuffed into the pockets of his race suit. His Miami Grand Prix had ended in a fucking disaster—a DNF after getting caught in someone else’s mess. He had spent the last thirty minutes doing media obligations, forcing a smile while answering the same frustrating questions over and over again.

Now, all he wanted was to get to the garage, talk to his engineers, and figure out what went wrong. Maybe throw something. Or punch a wall.

As he walked, he heard someone call his name.

—Lando!—

He ignored it. Probably a fan, maybe a journalist who had managed to sneak into the paddock. He wasn’t in the mood.

—Oi, Norris!—

His steps faltered. That voice.

He turned sharply, his stomach tightening when he saw who was calling him.

Callum.

Amelie’s brother.

Fuck.

Lando braced himself instinctively, half-expecting Callum to take one look at him and swing a punch. It wouldn’t be surprising. Lando would probably deserve it. But instead, Callum grinned, walking toward him like nothing had ever happened.

—Didn’t think you’d hear me with how fast you were storming off,— Callum joked, clapping a firm hand on Lando’s shoulder. —Tough race, huh?—

Lando blinked, his brain struggling to catch up. Callum was acting like... normal. Like nothing had ever happened between him and Amelie.

Like he didn’t know.

—Uh... yeah,— Lando forced out, trying to shake the confusion from his voice. —Not the best day.—

—Ah, shit happens,— Callum shrugged. —At least you’re in Miami. Can’t be too pissed when you’ve got palm trees and a million clubs to distract you.—

Lando chuckled weakly, still too caught up in the fact that Callum was talking to him like he hadn’t once been in bed with his little sister.

—Yeah, I guess,— Lando muttered, running a hand through his damp curls.

—Anyway, I’m heading to Red Bull’s hospitality. Came to support Checo since Stella had to stay home with the baby. First time I’ve been to a Grand Prix in ages,— Callum said casually. —Figured I’d catch you while I was here.—

Lando nodded, forcing himself to act normal, but his mind was spinning.

Callum doesn’t know.

He would have known if Amelie had told him. There’s no way Callum would be this casual with him otherwise. No way in hell.

And that meant...

Maybe she didn’t tell him because she still thinks we can work it out.

Lando felt something dangerous spark in his chest. Hope.

—You alright, mate? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.— Callum’s voice broke through Lando’s spiraling thoughts.

—Yeah, just... tired. Long weekend.— Lando forced a grin, shaking his head.

Callum smirked, crossing his arms.

—Not too tired to go out tonight, I bet.—

Lando chuckled, shaking his head. It was easy, natural, like he wasn’t currently having an existential crisis about why Amelie hadn’t told her brother about them.

—We’ll see. Depends how much I feel like drowning my sorrows.—

Callum laughed, then tilted his head slightly, giving Lando a look he couldn’t quite decipher.

—So... how’s everything?—

Lando knew exactly what he meant.

He debated for a second, but curiosity got the best of him.

—You tell me.—

Callum raised an eyebrow.

—Me? What do you mean?—

Lando shifted his weight, eyeing Callum carefully.

—How’s you sister?—

Callum smirked, but there was something teasing in his eyes.

—Who? Elysia?—

Lando narrowed his eyes, giving him a flat look.

—Don’t be a dick, you know who I’m asking about.—

—Ah, right. Amelie,— Callum said, his smile softening slightly. —She’s good. Busy. You know how she is.— He paused, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes before it was gone. —Last I heard, she was actually enjoying the chaos of filming. Said something about finally getting to use all those drama classes she took as a kid.—

Lando nodded slowly, his mind racing. Busy. Of course she was busy. She was always busy. That was part of the problem, wasn’t it? Or, at least, it was the excuse he’d used to justify… everything.

—Yeah, well… good,— he managed, trying to keep his voice neutral. He couldn’t help the slight edge of bitterness that crept in.

Callum gave him a knowing look, but didn’t push it. —Well, I should get going. My friends are probably wondering where I’ve disappeared to. Good seeing you, Norris. Better luck next race.—

—Yeah, you too,— Lando replied, watching Callum walk away.

He leaned against the wall of the motorhome, his breath catching in his throat. Callum’s casual demeanor had thrown him. He’d expected anger, maybe even violence. Instead, he’d gotten… friendly banter. Like nothing had changed.

But everything had changed.

The hope that had flickered in his chest a moment ago now felt like a lead weight. If Amelie hadn’t told Callum, it wasn’t because she wanted to work things out. It was probably because she was done. Finished. And he was the last person she wanted to talk about.

He closed his eyes, a wave of frustration washing over him. He needed to talk to her. He needed to understand. But the thought of facing her, of seeing that coldness again… it made his stomach churn.

He opened his eyes, pushing himself off the wall. He couldn’t stay here. He needed to do something. Anything. Even if it was just walking to the garage and pretending to care about the debrief.

As he walked, his mind kept replaying the conversation with Callum. “Busy,” he’d said. “You know how she is.”

Yeah, Lando knew. Or, at least, he thought he did. But maybe he didn’t know her at all. Maybe he’d never really known her.

Considering Humans and Elves are two separate species each cultures birth control methods might clash

E.G. some specific herbs used by Moonshadows might be completely resistant to humans, and vice versa

so the possibilities for an oopsie baby might skyrocket for a mixed couple like Rayllum

In a world with dragons and magic, I can think of a whole lotta things that could be used as birth control.

There’s the fandom fave of Moonshadows having very regular and predictable cycles, and now we also have the fact that Callum is an ocean mage and can presumably control the flow of other fluids too. 😬 I’ve seen some rhetoric surrounding the whole “10 babies” thing, people for and against arc 3 Rayllum babies for various reasons, which is what started me thinking about the subject of family planning in the series. I genuinely love how TDP keeps me guessing and I am super excited to see what arc 3 has in store, but considering what we can gather from the world over the past seven seasons, I don’t think it’s that out there to assume that reliable methods of birth control exist in the world of TDP.

I’m assuming Opeli won’t be giving a PSA to the screen, but I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Rayllum will have kids in time for Aaravos to return, even if they are the grand old age of *checks notes* 24/25.

y'all seen this shit? crazy

okay obviously this is incredible i am ecstatic we are so back but like. i'm sorry what the actual fuck is this pose 😭

i even lightened it and yup sure enough i am confused. yes yes the arm across the shoulder love it but. the other arm?? bent behind her back, palm out, rayla blink twice if you need help. and callum's hand like,,,, you can tell it's just at his side but like in front of her leg i just. ykw bless the awkward babies.

anyway by the looks of the way callum's staff and bag are strewn about, i'm betting that this is their room and this fact makes me happy.

ok while i admit that yes the shit on the windowsill def resembles the corona in silhouette, a) it looks real small and we have a scale image that confirms it's much larger and b) it could literally be anything let's pack up the circus my fellow clowns (please let this age well)

the thing that i'm most intrigued by is the fucker that they're standing in front of. maybe my brain is just overloaded by now but i honestly have 0 ideas. ok nvm as i am writing this i realize it's a dresser of some sort based on the legs (a lil odd considering it's right in front of a table but i digress.) **EDIT** i'm fucking stupid it is a chair. AND whatever that mysterious oval is what they're looking at. interesting........

life as a nepo baby doesn’t get much easier than this. my mom’s family owns universal, and dad is a famous actor & director. (i’m setting myself up for success, aren’t i?)

i’m a film producer. due to the privilege of having amazing parents, i had a head start on internship opportunities. as a teenager, i worked under mark platt on films he produced then ventured on to co-produce films like Barbie (2023) and The Little Mermaid (2023). i later created my own production company, ‘Prism Productions’ where i produced films like; Anyone But You (2023), Challengers (2024), and Wicked (2024).

another prize i got through nepotism lol. in the early months of 2018, my dad was casting for his next movie, callum was one of the finalist for the main role of this film. my father invited callum over to our house, i, as his very busy 18 year old daughter didn’t really care about who was coming, and from where. as you can imagine, people come and go from our houses everyday. anyway, my father decides callum will be his leading man on his new film and i’m non the wiser, the loml came and went, and i had no clue. to my wonderful surprise, my dad invited callum back over for a celebratory dinner with the main cast and crew. (callum was the last piece of the puzzle). love at first sight, no better way to explain it, we just instantly connected over the raucous of the dining table. that’s how our little love story began!

our own little nepo baby, born on august 4th, 2021 at 7.3lb. she was a perfect mix of the both of us and the best addition to our little family.

you’re never just the right age to have kids, and as young parents, you never stop hearing about it. for me and callum, it just felt right, we were so excited for our baby and so ready to have her in our arms. we met at eighteen, got married at twenty, so what if we had a baby at twenty-one…

she was a bit crazy and the shelter we got her from said the only thing that put her to sleep right away was looney tunes so the name just stuck lol.

she’s a big ball of energy, gets into everything no matter what you put in front of her and makes you laugh like no other. we got her when me & callum got our own house and moved in together.
