Birthday Celebration | Valo x Gn reader

Characters: Chamber, Gekko, Yoru and Sova

Warnings: fluff, celebrating reader's birthday, gender neutral reader, maybe ooc, haven't written for Valorant in a while, English isn't my first language

A/n: Guess whose birthday it is today (March 13th), still can't believe that another year is over. I wrote a few Birthday related things for different fandoms and I will post them over the next couple days. But we are starting with a few Valorant headcanons

Comments, likes and reblogs are always appreciated and really motivate me to write more <3

Chamber

For your birthday, he would definitely consider your preferences.

If you're more introverted and prefer an intimate moment together, he would probably cook you an amazing, very fancy dinner with candles all around.

If you're more into socializing, he would likely prepare a small party with you and your close friends.

He will ensure that his schedule is cleared for you on your birthday and devote the entire day to making you feel special, ensuring you have his full attention.

He cherishes being able to spend your birthday together with you and would carefully pick out your gift.

It would probably be something more expensive that you had your eye on but never bought because you couldn't justify spending that kind of money.

He would like to make it perfect and ensure the gift is unique to you.

He would probably congratulate you first thing in the morning while serving you breakfast in bed and come to you with a bouquet of your favorite flowers.

Also, expect kisses throughout the day and generally a lot of affection.

He doesn't often have the entire day to spend with you, so he wants to fully exploit his this day.

Gekko

He would put a lot of thought and effort into planning your birthday party.

Before planning anything, he would subtly ask you about all your preferences to ensure your day is special and truly enjoyable.

He would probably throw a smaller party for you so you can spend quality time with the people most important to you.

Gekko would gift you something thoughtful and sentimental rather than extravagant.

Maybe he makes something himself and will also probably write you a handwritten letter expressing his feelings for you.

Or he would go in the direction of gifting you something that you both can enjoy together or that holds meaning for your relationship.

He would wake you up sweetly, probably with something from your favorite breakfast spot, and also a lot of cuddling.

In his birthday wishes, he would include his gratitude for having you in his life.

Gekko might also plan a surprise activity during the day that aligns with your hobbies or interests, adding just something extra 

Yoru

He would definitely throw you a big surprise party, aiming for a fun and memorable celebration.

Unlike Gekko, he probably wants to invite as many people as possible to fill your day with excitement and energy.

If you don't want a big party, he'll take you out for a cool outing.

Yoru would probably gift you something unexpected and unconventional, wanting to think out of the box for you.

Despite his playfulness, he would ensure you feel loved and appreciated on your day, giving more compliments than usual and showing a softer side when it really counts.

Sova

Sova is thoughtful when it comes to you, wanting your birthday to be meaningful and special.

Rather than an extravagant party, he would plan a more personal celebration, prioritizing spending time together and creating new memories.

He might also plan a surprise outing to a place you've always wanted to visit or organize a cozy picnic in a beautiful location

He would put a lot of thought into your present, aiming for something that reflects your interests, like a handmade item or a meaningful keepsake.

His birthday wishes would be heartfelt, expressing appreciation for you and the joy you bring into his life.

He might share personal moments you've spent together and express his gratitude.

He would make you feel loved and appreciated, showing kindness and affection throughout the day, not allowing you to lift a finger to show his love through his gestures.

Cutest blurb🥺

How about Tom made a handmade gift to Y/n like a scrapbook or a jar something like that and Y/n is like 🥺🥺🫶💓💖💖💞🥹

anon, this is so cute 🥺 sorry i'm just now getting to writing your request, i hope you like it!

cleaning out my inbox 💌

tom wasn't the crafty type. everyone who attended the failed paint and wine knew this. he was terrible at art, couldn't even draw a stick figure if he tried.

and beings you were the crafty type, ever since then he was determined to make you something special and 'cute'. he wanted to give you a gift that wasn't store-bought, he wanted something special to give you. something that came from the bottom of his heart.

so he thought of a brilliant idea, a scrapbook.

he had asked his mom for a few pointers beings she had made baby books for him and his brothers when they were younger. she had given him all the tips and tricks he could think of.

he even took notes.

when his mom said that it'd be nice to include things from dates the two of you had went on, his mind immediately went to the keepsake box that you had at the top of your side of the closet, the one where you kept all the photo-booth strips, restaurant receipts, movie and event tickets, everything you could possibly ever think of.

and of course he had asked you if it was okay if he went through the box, wanting to get your approval on what to take and what not to take. you were a little confused as to what he was planning.

"just go through the box and pick," you smiled, "but, can i ask why?"

he grabbed the box from the top shelf before humming back at you as you laid on the bed, "mmm, no reason. just wanna look through. maybe it'd be cute if we put together a collage and hung it up in a picture frame or something."

you furrowed your eyebrows, thankful he couldn't see your confused expression, "yeah, sounds good, babe."

and for the next few nights when you'd wander up to bed to read a few chapters of your book before falling asleep, he'd stay downstairs. in the dimly lit dining room, rummaging through the tickets and photos, picking out how he wanted each page to look. he had even made a special trip to the craft store earlier that morning to pick out stickers, fancy markers and pens, the glue dot runner his mom suggested for the photos and tickets, scrapbook paper, and designed washi tape.

he was excited to get to work. he was even more excited to see your reaction to the finished project.

and after a week and a half, and many 'is this good?' texts to his mom, the scrapbook was completed. just in enough time for your anniversary.

he had ran out and got flowers and your favorite candy to give to you along with his handmade gift. the two of you always kept it simple on your anniversary, beings it was in the middle of valentine's day and his birthday.

when you got home, he was eager to give you your gift. you laughed as he basically ran to you as you opened the door when you got home from work.

"hey," you laughed, "eager to see me?"

"always," he smiled, kissing your forehead sweetly, "come on, i've got a surprise for you."

you didn't even have time to kick off your heels before he was dragging you into the kitchen. he smiled as your eyes landed on the scrapbook, flowers, and candy. immediately 'aww'ing at his gesture.

"aww, tom," you cooed, grabbing the scrapbook from the island, "this is adorable."

the smile never left his face as you flipped through the pages, each page being a different date that the two of you went on. he had made special pages for the tickets you saved to each of the marvel movie premiers you two had gone to together. he even had the pictures he had taken on his phone of the two of you printed out so he could stick them on the spider-man scrapbook paper.

yes, he paid $15 for spider-man scrapbook paper.

the last page of the scrapbook paper was white, lace trimming on the top and bottom. you read the letters over and over again, taking in the detail. there was a diamond ring sticker, along with 4 words in white and black block letters:

'will you marry me?'

you turned to see him on one knee, smiling up at you. you laughed softly, closing the book and putting it back on the island. your vision became blurry the longer you looked at him as he sat on one knee.

"will you marry me, darling?"

you smiled, immediately nodding your head, "do you even have to ask?"

he chuckled, standing as he slipped the ring onto your finger, "is that a yes?"

you leaned up and kissed him, cupping his cheeks in your hands. his cheeks were warm as you took in the smell of his cologne and after shave. it smelled like home.

"a million times yes." you smiled, nose rubbing against his before he leaned back down and kissed you again.

"my fiancée sounds a lot better than girlfriend, huh?" he smiled, brushing a few loose strands of hair away from your face.

"couldn't have said it better myself."

King and Queens

Rhysand + Rheana (See Rheana here)

For @officialrhysandweek

Rhysand week 2024 Masterlist

Day 6: Worlds Axis

Summary: Rhysand and Rheana discover their true heritage that their paternal family buried deep down

Cw: None

Rhysand and Rheana had managed to clean up everything of their parents and sister, kept what mattered to them, and begrudgingly gave away everything else.

The pair carefully packed away items that held sentimental value - paintings, letters, trinkets, and keepsakes. They even found time to preserve memories they shared together, such as recipes for meals cooked by their mother and little crafts their sister did, they would always joke about how she couldn't stick to one, handmade cards created by their father during the rare moments of his love for their mother. Every memento was handled with care and placed securely within boxes marked with their names.

Only one last thing remained, It was a large estate filled with rooms upon rooms of treasures accumulated over generations, something their father had yet to tell them about, Rheana had learned about it in a letter under her parents' bed. It would take days just to go through all of it. Yet, they knew they couldn't keep every single item, some things were simply too valuable or too cumbersome for two young adults to maintain alone.

"What do we do with this?" Rhysand asked, walking through the halls of one of the biggest mansions they had ever seen, surprise filled both the siblings.

As she turned a corner, Rheana's footsteps echoed off the marble floors, not polished in quite a while, the air thick with the scent of old books and wood. She gazed around at the opulent furnishings, gold leaf adorning every surface, crystal chandeliers unlit, covered in cobwebs, and walls lined with tapestries depicting fantastical creatures.

"This," she said, running a hand along the carved armrest of a plush velvet sofa, "is beyond anything our family has ever owned. How did our grandparents acquire such wealth?"

Rhysand joined her, his eyes scanning the room with a mix of awe and trepidation. He'd never seen so much grandeur in one place before. It felt overwhelming, like trying to drink from an aggressive waterfall.

"I don't know," he admitted, "but whatever happened, we can't possibly keep all of this."

Rheana noted an old trunk in the corner of the main halls, with a curious expression, she moved to it, her arm muscles flexed while prying the lock open with her bare hands, inside it were old books, brown and yellow in pages, bound by old leather that was falling apart.

Rhysand walked up behind her, "What is it, sister?"

"Old journals... From... Our ancestors." Rheana said.

Rhysand peered over Rheana's shoulder as she gently opened one of the dusty books. The pages crackled as they turned, revealing handwritten notes in elegant script, accompanied by intricate illustrations of various lands and peoples.

"These look ancient," Rhysand remarked, tracing a finger over a faded map depicting the Night Court's territory centuries ago. "Our ancestors must have been quite the explorers."

Rheana nodded, her brow furrowed in concentration as she scanned the text. "It seems they documented their travels, trade agreements, and interactions with other courts and kingdoms. There's also mention of powerful artifacts and magical beings they encountered along the way."

She paused, her eyes widening as she read further. "Wait, look at this entry from Grandmother Eira. It speaks of a legendary sword, said to grant immense power to its wielder."

The words caused both siblings to exchange glances, filled with intrigue and curiosity. They were no strangers to magic or mythical weapons, having grown up in a world populated by immortal faeries and creatures of all kinds, but this sounded particularly extraordinary.

"There's no record of such a weapon in our family history," Rheana said, flipping through more pages. "Perhaps it was lost or forgotten over time."

"But why would our grandmother make note of it?" Rhysand wondered aloud, leaning closer to examine the delicate handwriting. "Unless she knew someone who possessed it or sought it out herself."

The notion sparked an idea in Rheana's mind. "Maybe there's a clue here about how to find it, or who might still have it today."

As dusk settled over the estate, Rheana and Rhysand continued to pore over the journals, searching for any clues that could lead them to the mysterious weapon. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows across the aged parchment, heightening the suspense of their hunt.

Eventually, Rhysand came across another intriguing passage written by Great-Grandmother Azrae, who, according to the texts had been known for her wisdom and strategic prowess. It seemed she had spent years searching for the elusive blade, visiting various temples, ruins, and hidden sanctums throughout Faerie.

"She must've been obsessed with finding it," Rhysand murmured, reading aloud from the journal. "But none of these places sound familiar to me."

"Because these places aren't from Night Court... They're from Hybern..." Rheana whispered, feeling dread, their grandmother and great-grandmother were living in Hybern. They had been all their lives. "I've seen this lake on the maps." Rhysand flipped through the pages, to the maps that now didn't look like the Night court in the slightest, "Our family... They lived there... But how?"

As the gravity of the situation sank in, the siblings fell silent, their gazes glued to the faded ink scrawled across the ancient parchment. They realized they weren't merely dealing with the legacy of two deceased parents or their beloved sister but an entire dynasty rooted deeply in the world of Fae politics and conflict.

"This changes everything," Rhysand finally broke the silence, his voice laced with uncertainty yet determination. "We can't ignore the possibility that whatever secrets our grandparents kept were intertwined with Hybern... Their... Our family."

"We need to keep looking," Rheana replied sternly, her mind racing with questions about her ancestry she hadn't pondered until now. It made sense, the dreading knowledge that a part of their ancestry was connected with Hybern, the daemati abilities their grandmother showed, what their father showed, what they showed. No Fae in Prythian had those abilities, because it wasn't from Prythian, but from the line of kings that ruled Hybern, it was power frequent in their world. She flipped the pages, "Here, look..." She whispered, catching something in one of the pages, it stated how their grandmother had found her mate in a Night Court heir, she turned more pages, "This must be when she fell in love with grandfather... She was pregnant with father in less than 3 years... That's almost unheard of, no one concieves this early."

Rhysand leaned in closer as Rheana pointed to the entries detailing their grandmother's life, his heart pounding with anticipation. Each word, each stroke of the quill, painted a picture of a woman caught between worlds, torn between loyalty to her birthright and love for a man from a rival land.

He felt a shiver run down his spine as he realized the depth of his own connection to Hybern, not just through his parents but through his very own bloodline. The weight of that knowledge settled heavily upon him, a burden he wasn't sure he was prepared to carry.

"What does it say?" Rhysand asked softly, his voice tinged with reverence for the woman whose legacy now entwined their own destinies.

Rheana's eyes widened as she read further, her breath hitching. "It says… No..."

"No what?" Rhysand asked urgently, noticing the shock and horror etched onto his sister's face.

"Father was... We are..." Rheana shut the book. There was so much they didn't know about their families, what made them as powerful as they were, but their grandmother being from Hybern, they were probably related to the king distantly and their grandfather being the descendant of the most powerful Lordd of their time, they were bound to be powerful. It was their destiny. "We never really learned where our grandmother came from... She was next in line... She gave up the crown to be with grandfather."

Rhysand stared at Rheana, his mind reeling from the implications of her words. Their family tree, once thought to be relatively simple, had suddenly branched out into a tangled web of royal lineage and ancient rivalries. The pieces began to fall into place - their parents' untimely deaths, the whispers of dark magic, the sheer power that radiated from within the walls of the Night Court estate.

Rhysand looked at the house they were in with a different light, trying to find answers to the new questions that emerged, avoiding the easiest answer that was waving at his face, refusing their relation to Hybern, and the magic they showed.

✨️ Tag Game Masterpost ✨️

Got tagged in so many amazing things by so many precious humans while I was away, thank you all so much for thinking of me! 🥰🫶

----

First up, @mishervellous, @creepkinginc, @energievie, @tanktopgallavich and @look-i-love-u tagged me to complete this wonderful Tag Game Tuesday created by our beloved @celestialmickey!

Please address me as: Lyds 💙

How many countries have you lived in? Two (one main one and the other for a few months)

States/provinces? Two (one in each country)

Cities/towns? Two (same as above)

Homes? Two (only counting long-term ones that are deserving of the name)

Road trip or long-haul flight? I'm used to and love road trips, but would prefer to go on a plane right now as it's been 14 years since my last flight.

On the spectrum of hoarder to minimalist, where do you fall? I'm a maximalist, so... organized hoarder? 😅

Do you have a keepsake box/bin/bag and if so, what’s in it? I have two, a box with old letters and photos from dear people, the other is a chest with handmade cards from my husband, we gifted them to each other every month for 3 years and it's overflowing at this point.

If you could live anywhere, where would you live? While living on the seaside with the mountains two hours away is not bad, I'd like to be closer to the cooler, foresty part of my country, also anything in the Scandinavian region seems very appealing.

Favorite place in your home? It changes frequently, right now it's my office corner with my baroque style desk and memo board full of inspiring, queer stuff on it 💖

Finally, what’s your current favorite item in your home? A tiny, antique, Viennese furnace I got from my grandparents', it's chipped in places and needs a paint job but I love putting LED tealights in it and watching it glow, especially during the holidays.

----

Next, I was tagged by @mishervellous and @ian-galagher to make this sweet picrew!

Lounging at home and thinking of all of you 😍

----

Last but not least, @mishervellous, @creepkinginc and @look-i-love-u tagged me to play this Screenshot Game!

Rules: post a screencap of your lock screen photo, a screencap of the last/current song listened to, as well as the last photo of a celebrity that you saved in your phone.

My bunny, my ringtone and my current crush 🤗

I'm super late and feeling a little overwhelmed with getting back into the groove, so I'll skip tagging this time, however if you see this and would like to complete any or all of these, please do! Love and good vibes to all 💙✨️

KENZIE’S CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO:

AXEL

His first little gift is for the Dec. 24th and they open together. Matching PJ sets that Kenzie and Koda also have. A bunch of candies and hot chocolates and marshmallows and some popcorn for a Christmas movie evening. His main gift on Dec. 25th is personal and handmade. Using the paper he drew a line on when they first met, Kenzie has turned it into a piece of art. Silhouettes of themselves are reaching towards one another’s hands over the line, it’s framed for him to have in his office if he wants to. And the other part of the gift is a little funnier, handmade coupons she put together that he can ‘cash in’ at any time. For affection or spicy times.  @axel-mathis

DANNY

Kenzie knows Danny isn’t sentimental so she’s opted for a small handmade card that shows a simple appreciation for his willingness to forgive her and try his hand at being a father despite the slip up. It literally just says “You’re doing good x” Inside the card is a coupon he can use at the amusement park in the summer with Koda.   @danny--anderson

RONNIE

Kenzie has done a dotwork piece of art that depicts Ronnie and Kenzie as kids, using a photograph that was taken at one of the many family gatherings. Hidden throughout the dots is a tiny inside joke that says “We’re probably not even cousins.” because of their complicated family tree. @ronniexcameron

BUNNY

Ever proud of her cousin’s musical gifts, Kenzie has recreated one of Bunny’s EP covers on a larger canvas. Her name is painted in a way that looks like it’s neon and glowing and the whole piece is very pink.  @bunny-castillo

DYLAN

Inside an actual whisk, Kenzie has put chocolates and little candy canes and wrapped the whole thing together. Also hidden inside the whisk is a very small folded bit of dotwork art that is of Dylan and Kenzie as kids. On the back it reads, “A sister I didn’t know I needed.” @dylandunsmore

ANGEL 

Kenzie has put together a box of all the things Angel needs to do stick ‘n’ poke tattoos. There’s a few pieces of paper in there of original designs from back in the day that she put in there as a keepsake for her. Not wanting to be too emotional, the card reads “You pack a good punch, proud of you.”  @angeloconnor

FINN

Finn’s is real simple, a pack of smokes and a bottle of Irish whiskey and some chocolates. All Kenzie put in the card was a ‘x’ which says more than enough for the grumpy old man that she loves. @finn-oconnor

DJ 

Kenzie put the gas money in a card that she couldn’t give him at the time for the ride to Del’s place. And she bought him some gummies from Lazy Daze because she knows how overworked he is. @dougie-anderson

DUSTY

Probably finding the joke way too funny, she bought Dusty a cheap looking engagement ring and tied a small card to it that said ‘It should’ve been you.’ She’s probably playing into the joke too much but she can’t resit it. As a genuine present she bought him some smokes and a lighter that says ‘If you wanna fuck, smile when you give this back to me’. @dusty-anderson

RHYS

Rhys has a small collection of Bee themed gifts. Bee socks, honey flavored chocolates and honey whiskey. As a joke there’s a coupon in his card for a chuck’e’cheese meal. @rhysles​

ELLIOT

The joke gift is cream for bee-stings after she heard about the Elliot and Dusty drama. His genuine gifts are a fancy matte black pocket knife and a matte black wallet. @elliotxdunsmore​

A birthday is a perfect occasion to show your love and appreciation for the special people in your life. Choosing the right gift can make them feel truly cherished. Birthday Gift for Special Person If you're looking for something beyond the usual, let's explore some unique and thoughtful birthday gift ideas that will make your loved one’s day unforgettable.

Nothing says "thoughtful" like a gift that's tailored specifically to the recipient. Personalized gifts such as custom jewelry, engraved photo frames, or monogrammed items can add a personal touch. Websites like Arni Arts offer a range of personalized items that can be customized to suit the recipient's taste.

2. Experience-Based Gifts

Sometimes, the best gifts aren't things at all. Experiences like a weekend getaway, spa day, cooking class, or a concert ticket can create lasting memories. Choose an experience that aligns with their interests, whether it’s an adventure, relaxation, or learning something new.

3. Handmade Crafts and DIY Gifts

If you're the crafty type, a handmade gift can be incredibly meaningful. Whether it's a scrapbook filled with memories, a knitted scarf, or a hand-painted piece of art, the time and effort you put into creating something by hand will surely be appreciated.

4. Subscription Services

Subscription services are the gifts that keep on giving. Consider gifting a subscription to a streaming service, monthly book club, gourmet snack box, or even a monthly delivery of fresh flowers. Each time they receive a new installment, they'll be reminded of your thoughtfulness.
