This is mainly Bard centric in general but I’ve always headcanoned aside from being canonically spooked by snakes, the poor 40 something is NOT into horror media at all, even just aesthetical stuff like fake blood decoration stuff. SO like.... EVERYONE ELSE he knows closely: Mey Rin, Sebastian, Lau, Ran Mao, Grelle, Ronald, even the KIDS o!ciel and siggy and surprisingly Lizzy, are 100% INTO HORROR. 

The man cannot catch a break when the latest horror film or show or game comes out and it is ALL EVERYONE ELSE TALKS ABOUT, and eventually gets him to check out with them, specifically/especially the movies when still in theaters.

And to top it off the easiest ones to convince him to go are likely a lover like Lau or Grelle, as they CAKE ON the pleading and whining and clinging to him because he’s their big strong handsome protector~ against the fictional scary~ monsters or bad guys killing the victims in the movies! 🥺

He doesn’t exactly “fall for it” but he begrudgingly gives in to stop their fake pleading htdfukgiuh and proceeds to regret it once they’re at the theater proper and he has to sit through an hour of goddamned jump scares and gruesome graphic kills and/or torture scenes.. UGHH 😫

(Also it gives his lover an opportunity to see the cute big guy squirm >:3 )

One to ten for Bardcliff!

Coffee shop AU: Bard is the barista. He has a reputation for rushing people's orders, mixing them up or putting in the wrong ingredients. He becomes especially flustered when a certain pretty redhead stops by and always gives her a drink on the house. Grelle Sutcliff is fond of the handsome blond, even if he never gets her order right. But how can she complain when he's so kindhearted and sincere?

Highschool/College AU: To be honest, I don't see either of them as straight-A students. Their intelligence manifests more as "street smarts." They’re both backrow slackers who wish they were doing something more interesting than being bored out of their minds in class. Maybe they end up spending time together in detention or a dull tutoring session and hit it off! Grelle and Bard soon become partners in crime, finding creative ways to play hooky...and maybe pull a prank or two while they're at it.

Rivals to lovers AU: Bard's the one who takes their rivalry seriously. Grelle is half in it just to push his buttons; she so loves to tease him. And how can she resist when her flirtations get dearest Bard all riled up?

Enemies to lovers AU: Which one switches sides? Hmm...this would depend in part on whether we were in canonverse or not. But I'd go with Grelle; she's a passionate soul, the type who'd willingly sacrifice it all for love.

Soulmate AU: Grelle is dying to meet her soulmate! Why can't they just find her already? Bard doesn't want to meet his soulmate because he fears that would set him up for heartbreak. He's lost so many friends and companions over the course of his life...he's not sure he could bear meeting his soulmate only to lose them to tragedy, too.

Single parent AU: Bard is raising his adopted son Finny on his own. Grelle always wanted a family, so she's thrilled to learn that her new crush has a child! She immediately becomes the mom Finny never had.

Doctor AU: Bard is the longsuffering doctor. He's part of an elite sector led by Angelina Dalles that treats patients connected with England's underworld. Grelle is his latest patient, an assassin who was badly wounded while taking out the leaders of a treasonous plot against the queen.

Bodyguard AU: Bard is the loyal bodyguard of heiress Grelle Sutcliff. Each secretly pines after the other. Bard assumes that a fabulously wealthy woman like Grelle wouldn't think twice about him, while Grelle thinks that Bard only views her in a professional light. But how long can they keep these feelings hidden?

Pirate AU: Self-styled Queen of the Dead, Grelle Sutcliff is a pirate feared across the seven seas. When Prince Bardroy is kidnapped by Grelle and her crew, he assumes he's a simple hostage. Little did he suspect that he was embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, or that he might fall for the pirate queen's charms...

Childhood Best Friends AU: Bard was the one super obviously in love the whole time. Grelle was oblivious (and went through a few bad boyfriends) before realizing that her true love had been at her side from the beginning.

[very-accurate-kuroshitsuji]

Grelle: What are you doing sitting outside?

Bard: Sebastian sent me out here to think about what I’ve done.

Grelle: And what did you do?

Bard: Cooked eggs on the stove without a frying pan.

[red-butler]

Mey Rin: Why are you naked?

Bard: I... Don't have any clothes...

Mey Rin, opening Bard’s closet: You have a lot of clothes. Like this shirt, these jeans, hi Grelle, oh and this sweater.

Grelle, panicked: I- What the fuck?

Bard: *holds out his hand for a fist-bump*

Grelle:

Grelle: Right, that’s what you- Right, okay, God, Jesus fucking Christ.

Outlast Bardroy RP (closed)

Her jaw hurt, Grelle decided, lifting her head from the floor. Her arms were tight against her waist again...the same position they'd been in for...wait, how long? She didn’t know. Time had no meaning now. She'd been here, in teh horrible white jacket that stopped her from doing anything forever maybe. Maybe there was nowhere else, maybe this was all there had ever been! Maybe she was the insane one for thinking there was anywhere else! She laughed at that, the sound painful as it came out her dried throat and mouth.

Ash Landers looked at the file in front of him and then up at the young man facing him across the ornate desk in his office. It was a good office, it made Ash feel proud every time he looked around it; dark furniture, green leather desk, bookshelves filled with heavy sober volumes. This was an office that told anyone who entered how intelligent and powerful the occupant was. Ash smiled at the man, an angelic smile he knew, it would put the man at ease and make him feel special that Ash was dedicating this time just for him. "Well now Mr Cooke, this all seems to be in order. Do you have any further questions?"

Ring Popping the Proposal

Based on the headcanon from @deadly-safety-scissors

The Bardcliff proposal!

It started, as many bad ideas do, with a visit to the pub. Bard, Eric, Alan and Ron were in the mortal realm, celebrating Alan’s promotion to head of first year training and moving from pub to pub, getting steadily more and more drunk and more and more silly and excitable as they did so. It was closing on two on the morning by now and all of them had reached the stage where what would normally be considered stupid, nay suicidal, ideas were becoming absolutely brilliant plans that they just had to do.

“You-you’ve gotta do it Bard!” Ron laughed, glasses askew. “It’ll be the bestest thing ever!”

“I don’t actually wanna die you guys!”

“Nooooo, she won’ kill you!”

“She’s too much in lovey dovey goodness with you.”

“I ain’t risking my-my...uh…” Bard frowned as his train of thought failed him. “I ain’t risking my life on that. She’ll kill me. Again.”

“But it’ll be sooooo funny!” Eric grinned, Alan nodding beside him.

Bard spared a moment to think that all his friends were evil bastards who were actually out to get him killed, but the drunken haze pervading every one of his thoughts was beginning to sway him.

“Where would we even get one bad enough?”

“I know!” Ron’s hand shot up in the air like he was back in training again. “Oh, pick me!”

“Go on…”

“There’s a little toy thingy, you know, where you...um...put the money in and getta toy back? It’s nearby an’ it does rings!”

“Yeah!” Eric jumped to his feet. Or staggered rather, catching hold of the edge of the table to stop himself keeling over. Alan and Ron followed him up, dragging a still somewhat reluctant but getting caught up in it all Bardroy with them. All four wandered out of the pub and into the night.

Finding a specific location when you were drunker than a skunk was harder than expected, and it took nearly twenty minutes of peering at shops and around corners, giggling like children as the silly adventure took over them. By the time they actually found the toy dispenser Bard was completely on board with the idea they’d come up with. Ron came to a halt and gestured proudly to the dispenser. It was a cheap one that took pound coins and gave plastic children’s jewellry in return. Necklaces, bracelets and most importantly rings in a variety of colours.

All reapers began digging through their pockets looking for spare change and fumblingly slotting coins into the machine. Alan checked through each toy as it fell out.

“Gold necklace...blue ring...bracelet with, um, kitten on it...yellow ring...bracelet with a shell on it...gold necklace...green ring...red ring, oh! Oh! Red ring!” He triumphantly held up the ring and all four reapers gathered around it eagerly.

“It’s hideous!” Eric said in awe. It rather was, chunky cheap plastic with a large translucent red ‘jewel’ sticking a good inch out. The seams were obvious and there was a very obvious ‘made in china’ stamped on the side.

“And...you want me to propose to Grelle using this?” Bard asked, staring at the ugly thing.

“Yes.”

“She’s gonna kill me.”

“But it will be so so worth it won’t it?”

“Well…” Bard looked at the ring and tried to imagine the look of sheer outrage on his beloved Grelle’s face when he proposed to her using this.

“But you’ve gotta do it properly!” Alan chipped in. He might seem the sane one, but Bard had a sneaking suspicion that Alan had been the instigator of this whole idea. 

“Properly?”

“You’ve got to be wearing...wearing the worst clothing you can find, and ask in the most casual way..and not shaved and everything!”

“Are you mad!” Bard exclaimed, but he was laughing at the same time.

“Nope! But she’s gonna be!” Eric laughed, sitting on the damp pavement  and putting on all the rejected jewellry. Ron was still entranced by the hideous red ring as Alan kept trying to persuade Bard to get himself killed in the most exquisitely painful way possible.

“Come on guys...I can’t propose to her like that, she deserves better than that…”

“We’re not saying it has to be the real proposal!” Ron said, “You can-can do a proper one later! This’ll be great though!”

“Well…”

“Aw, go on Bard! You’re only gonna get to do this once, so may as well have fun with it! Right?”

“But-”

“Come on!”

“Please?”

“I’m sure she’ll forgive you, eventually…”

Bard looked back at the red ring, thought about just how angry Grelle would get with a proposal that seemed so sloppy and half hearted. She would be incandescent with utter fury. He wondered how it would feel to get a chainsaw straight through his head while she banshee screeched at him. She was beautiful when she was angry, his red red queen.

“Aww, alright.” 

All three other Reapers broke into loud cheering, Ron and Alan doing a bizarre drunken dance as Bard agreed to their scheme.

“But if she kills me, I’m haunting you lot forever.”

“She won’t kill you, she looooooooves you!”

“Oh! I’m going to film it! We can never forget this night!”

“Ron, she will kill you too.”

“It’ll be worth it!” He chirped.

“Well if Ronnie’s going to be there, I should probably be as well. Jus’ to stop Grelle actually murdering either of you.” Eric said, hauling himself up off the pavement with Bard’s help.

“I suppose that means I’d better be there too. To stop you lot getting into trouble.” Alan said.

“Stop-stop us getting in trouble?” Bard spluttered, staring at the shorter man. “This whole thing was your idea! You’re the one getting us into trouble, not out of it!”

Alan simply shrugged, looking very pleased with himself and Bard gave up. Alan might seem innocent but he was the worst of the lot of them for coming up with ideas for getting them all in trouble.

“I don’t know why I spend time with you lot…”

“Because you looooooooooove us!” Ron laughed.

“Urgh, I’m getting too sober for this...shall we head back to the pub?”

“That, Bardroy, is the best idea any of us has had all night!”
