In war storm Mare wanted Cal to join her in the shower.

And it got me thinking...

My list of individual hcs for marecal bcs @maryxherie thinks I have good takes (I'd like to beg to differ but here's my list anyways)

- Mare and Cal are interchangeable in the "*flexes power and looks badass* will you go out with me pretty please" "we're married."

-Cal touches Mare unconsciously in public and everyone's like "oh my god will you two just get a room"

- Mare and Cal are each other's 1st kisses bcs Cal stayed away from anything romance related and Mare nvr bothered in the Stilts

- Everyone in court suspected Cal was gay cause he nvr exhibited any interest in girls and he's also very pretty (unrelated but I'd like to think that after Tiberias 5 everyone just assumed his descendants were going to all be gay too), then Mare came along and everyone was like "nope, apparently he just has a thing for feisty girls"

- Cal has interest in things from the old generation before the Calamities and studies our era's tech, he got his design for his cycle based on some nearly unreadable diagrams Julian showed him of motorcycles

- Mare's short because she's malnourished (I mean it's canonically true Norta has unideal farmland unlike the Lakelands so food is more unaffordable and of lower quality) and she probably could have grown a little extra if her food wasn't as shit as it was

- Cal has a nice voice (I mean his mother is a singer and I believe it's kind of canon that descendants of singers tend to have melodic voices) and he could definitely sing if he learned ok I can't believe VA would dare say this man would be bad at it

- Mare was an unknowing heartbreaker, as in there were guys that took interest in her in the Stilts but back then she didn't care about romance and was kinda already set on marrying Kilorn/dying in war

- Cal is a romantic, he would believe in love and eventual happy endings (which he got, good for him)

- Cal definitely gives good hugs like that man is tall and warm and everything

- Mare would be the parent who does all the disciplining because Cal would be too soft on the kids

- They would work in Cal's garage together and Mare just troubleshoots all the battery/connection problems e.g. "yea the wire there probably isn't connected properly no electricity there"

Honestly I don't actually have that many but I will eventually compile more, I think about them often enough that the headcanons will come naturally :)

if Mare was with Cal she'd cheat on him with Maven if she was with Maven she'd cheat on him with Cal

pretty much

No one understands how much I love Mare for not hiding her M scar. Instead, displaying it proudly to not only show that she survived, but to really paint the picture of how much of a Monster Maven was.

She so brave

Marecal cuddling

- Mare always plays with Cal's hair and runs her other hand over his bicep

- Cal is using both hands to hold her as close as possible

- Their hands run under each other's clothes to feel each other's skin

- Cal falls asleep a lot of the time when they cuddle and when Mare realizes she kisses his forehead (if she's the one holding him) and keeps still for as long as she can to not wake him

- When they're going to bed Mare is always the little spoon but if not it's Cal's arms around her waist and his face buried in her chest

- Cal's sleepy voice making jokes and telling her he loves her🫣

never thought i'd see the day my mareven heart slowly opens up to marecal but here we are. anyone can betray anyone, including my heart i guess–

[lilyharvord]

It’s all: “you could have been my red queen” this and “thief/obviously” that, but WHEN are we going to talk about: “I thought of you in the end, I saw your face in the water.”????? HMMM?! When? When are we going to talk about this?

"Little bursts on a target range are hardly sufficient to maximize her abilities,

Or do you know how to coax a storm out of her?"

There's something so special about marecal's dynamic because instead of "I'd burn the world down for you", it's "I love you, but I will choose my loyalties over you. If I had to I would leave, although it would destroy me on the inside. I would sacrifice everything we have for the sake of what I believe is right, even though I would hate myself forever because of it. I would let go when the time comes, but it would ruin me in a way that nothing could ever come close to fixing. I can give you up, at the cost of my sanity and my heart and my soul and never loving anyone the same way ever again."

Can we all agree that the Red Queen did the Brotherly Love-Triangle trope WAY better than the Inheritance Games
