#rayllum headcanons

[tategaminu]

Callum and Rayla marry one or two years after defeating Aaravos/end of Arc 2. Being shunned by her village‚ Callum wants her to have a royal title (it's what she deserves). They have a little ceremony with friends and family at the Moon Nexus and leave for their honeymoon of two years.

Quick Rayllum headcanon for you

Every time they travel and have to sleep in an inn or anywhere that isn't either Katolis Castle or their separate home, instead of having the usual couple thing of "who always has what side of the bed," Callum always takes the side of the bed closest to the door of the inn or wherever they're staying. And that's another way he protects her, making it so if anyone dangerous or if anything bad were to happen, he'd be shielding her from it first and foremost. This also doubles as helping Rayla feel safer and more comfortable in different and unusual environments, having him always being her first defense helps calm her anxieties and makes her sleep easier

This came to me out of nowhere

cause they couldn't have Rayla sing an actual lullaby this season and not expect this

Callum smiles before he even reaches the doorway, the soft lilt literal music to his ears as he climbs the stairs, and Rayla's voice grows clearer as he approaches.

"—I am near, my love is here—"

The nursery door is ajar, the real proof of how safe and secure they are here in their little cottage, and Callum nudges it open just a bit further. Their little Rae can be fussy sometimes, but he watches his son sleepily yawn and nestle against Rayla's breast, her nightgown pulled back up as she rocks him.

"Went down easy tonight?" Callum murmurs, slipping in.

Rayla doesn't jump, never one to be snuck up on. She settles into his arms instead looped around her filled out waist, easing up his hold a little so she can lower their just-about-a-toddler into his crib. Rae stirs, tiny horns poking out of white hair, but his bright green eyes don't crack open, so it seems he'll stay asleep for the meantime.

"You know he gets his lungs from you," Rayla says, eyes narrowed as she turns to face her husband instead, but she's smiling too much.

Callum knits his fingers together at the small of her back. "You love me. Us," he retorts confidently.

Her hand cups his jaw, eyes softening. Her other hand drifts to his heart, where it beats for her—for their family. "I do," she hums.

Her kisses feel like music too.

i've been thinking about my favorite hc: rayla wearing callum's clothes!! i image her so excited borrowing his clothes, and he stares her with a dummy face😭😭

sorry, i think it's cute

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

Headcanon that at the wedding, Callum spouts miles of poetry and promises and everyone is getting so bored and all WRAP IT UP but Rayla doesn't care the only thing that exists is heart eyes

[mandaloriandragontrainer]

When Callum passes, one of the birds from his funeral rites flies to Rayla and nestles onto her shoulder. It stays with her in the months (or years) that follow, greeting her every morning, singing to her, comforting her in times of sadness.

It’s his way of watching over her, even when he’s gone.

[m4rs-ex3]

Callum and Rayla kiss first thing when they wake up, and last thing when they go to sleep. When they’re separated, they wear matching moon opal pendants (like Rayla’s fathers), so that they’re always together.

oh 100% they're so cringe like that 🩷 yes moon opal pendents of course but consider: callum makes rayla a bracelet out of his own feathers (like he did with phoenix ones)

[themistdragon]

:O !!!

[air-seaprimal]

I think we as a fandom don’t talk enough about the implications of Rayla being in romantic relationship with a prince. Like she probably has a relatively low social status in the grand scheme of things. She’s just some random elf to everyone else.

I ‘d imagine it’s going to be an absolute nightmare for Opelie when the two are fully back together. Rayla’s probably also going to marry into the Katolis royal family. Which means she will have to parcipate and be involved with a lot.

One thing Rayla didn't tell Callum was about elves and their horns.

Callum touched her horns once. They always fascinated him so he couldn't resist. Rayla's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't protest. That's why Callum never thought it was weird to occasionally touch her horns that made her so beautiful.

Once, when Rayla was visiting her family, Callum lightly ran his fingers over one of her horns. He was already doing it automatically, but the feeling of joy remained.

Rayla's parents, all four of them, almost lost their temper at the scene.

It was only then that Rayla revealed to Callum that only lifelong partners ever touch their loved one's horns.

[tategaminu]

callum has memorized EVERY single one of her scars (like. hundreds. he's dedicated)

She's very self conscious about her scars so Callum makes sure to remember all of them to show he doesn't mind at all and still finds her beautiful. They are proof of how rough her two years alone were and kisses them tenderly 🥹🥹🥹

Hiiiiiii

Do you have any headcannons for Rayllum's life post marriage and kids?

Love your blog!!!

Firstly, glad to know you love my blog! And I may have a Rayllum headcanon or two up my sleeve...

*takes deep inhale*

Something that I mentioned in this post, no matter how long they've been married, Callum still loves to call Rayla his bride, (and despite her annoyed groans, she secretly enjoys it)

Since Callum often works late into the night, researching and such, Rayla is always the one to pull him away from his work, (and eventually starts bringing little Rian along with her. Callum can never say no to both of them)

Ever since learning the Moon Arcanum, Callum loves making little illusions of animals and stars for the kids

Rayla 100% sings that same lullaby to Rian and Alyss (and it melts Callum's heart every time)

Even after Zym pulled off her binding, her wrist is never the same, with the occasional ache that becomes more frequent as she gets older, and Callum always uses a little bit of magic to soothe it

If Rayla and Callum are ever in need of a break, Ezran and Soren will watch the kids for them (Rian and Alyss love their Uncles Ezran and Soren)

Once the kids get older, and start dating, Rayla is the more protective one. Callum is too, but much more easy going. ("What if they run into someone dangerous?" "You mean like when I met you?")

Speaking of being protective (not entirely sure if this counts as a Rayllum headcanon), Stella certainly becomes very attached to Rian and Alyss, playing with them when they're really young and accompanying them around when they're older

Callum loves pressing a kiss to Rayla's wedding and engagement rings on her finger as many times as he can, fitting the gesture in casually as often as possible, reminding her of all the promises he's made to her

That's all I got for the moment off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'll add more later. Enjoy!

Elves get married with cuffs on their horns and humans with rings on their fingers. But Rayla has only four fingers and Callum doesn't have horns.

So how would ya'll feel about Rayla having traditional horn cuffs and also two rings on the tips of her horns that match the rings Callum is wearing, and Callum also has two wrist cuffs that match Ralya's horn cuffs?

[raayllum]

a/n: set after 6x06 and heavily references 6x03 bc they were blessings

Sometime after they stop kissing — alright, they don't really stop, but languid silences, soft giggling, and sweet nothings fill some of the space in between kisses as they curl up together on his bed in the Starscraper — Callum asks, "So, what were you crying about on the Ray of Illumination?"

The sun is rising above the sea of clouds outside their bedroom window, and for a moment he regrets bringing up anything potentially sad, both of them happier than they've been in years, honestly. They have everything they need for her parents, his connection to Aaravos has been severed, the light and truth of her love filling the cracks in his heart, instead, and finally, finally she knows that his heart has always belonged to her. That it always will.

But he's always been curious, and he's always wanted to sooth whatever's troubling her, fix whatever is breaking her heart, and she'd had a good deal to cry over just a couple weeks ago — maybe even something from the last two years apart — and... he wants to know. He wants to help.

And, slowly, he thinks she's getting to a place where she wants him to be able to, where she'll let him.

"Oh, um..." Rayla averts her eyes, fingers tangled with his, but her smile doesn't dim. She sticks her tongue in her cheek. "It's a bit silly, really."

"Still." He uses his free hand to brush his thumb over the curve of her cheek, the blue bend of her marking, where he knows the tears would've fallen.

"Just an old diary written by the captain. Esme something. Stella pushed it open." Rayla scoots a bit closer and Callum lets go of her hand to wrap his arm around her, more than happy to give into her desire to be held; he never feels more at peace than when he's holding her, now more than ever.

The bump of the tip of his nose against hers as a gentle prod. "And?"

Rayla turns her face down, his lips brushing her brow, but he can still tell she's worrying her bottom lip between her teeth. He wants to angle his face down and kiss that worry away, draw her lips to his, but refrains. They have plenty of time, after all. To kiss, and rest, and prepare for their journey. It's close to dawn now, and Callum knows they won't leave till the day after tomorrow at least — they need supplies for the journey to the Nexus, recover from their trials, and to say goodbye to their new friends here.

Finally, Rayla explains, "She was writing during the last days of her life, on that ship I guess. About a man she left behind. Her one true love, Conrad."

"Oh." Callum pulls her further into a hug on instinct, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Just... resonated with me," she nearly sniffles, laughing weakly, but her smile is real and reaches her eyes when he glances down to check. "I'm sure you can imagine why."

"Lots of stuff about what she would've said if she saw him again?"

"Mmhm."

"Think I can relate to that too," he hums, giving her forehead another kiss. "I love you, Rayla," he repeats for what might be the millionth time that day, but he already knows he can never say it enough. He's always known that. "I'm so glad you came back."

She wraps her arms tighter around his torso, cuddling in closer, tension ebbing out of her and face half pressed to his scarf. "I'm so happy you're here, Callum," she sighs warmly.

"Always." He strokes her hair, wondering if she'll fall asleep like this—it always got her a little drowsy in the past—or if she'll let him weave her braid for her one of these days, musing, and then... "The Captain's name wasn't Esmerelda Skall, was it?"

Rayla lifts her head, brow furrowed adorably. "Er, yeah, it was. Why? How do you know that?"

"She was a famous explorer in the Human Kingdoms. Charted out a lot of our maps up north. My Dad—King Harrow—took me on a diplomatic mission once to Del Bar, where she's from, when I was eleven or twelve." There's a warm, content feeling blooming in his chest that he'll get to give her closure on this, too, somehow. "Conrad founded a town near the capitol and served as mayor. He named it after her. He loved her all his life—put a grave marker for her next to his when he died and everything."

Rayla's "Oh" comes out choked and small, but her smile is wide as she blinks back tears. "That's—that's beautiful. I guess he really—"

"—loved her?" Callum finishes, curling two fingers under her chin to lift her face for a moment. Then he brushes away the real tears trickling over, drawing her further into his snug embrace. Her breath is beautifully warm as it fans over his lips before he kisses her, soft and firm. "Yes. I really do."

[rvnclwsews]

I have a head cannon that Callum and Rayla don't get married so quickly. They are happy with being regular Callum and Regular Rayla, but they know a marriage will solidify them as Prince and Princess and bring a new host of geopolitical strife with it. But they do end up married eventually and the engagement goes something like this:

Callum: I want to marry you, and I get that you saying yes means I get a wife but you get a husband AND a title and that's a lot to ask of you. I completely understand if you don't want that responsibility... But I want you to be my wife... And my princess..."

Rayla: you want me to wear a crown for you."

Callum: only a very little one. And besides, you'll be overshadowed by whomever Ezran chooses to bring into his life.

Rayla *with mock drama* but I am the elven princess of Katolis and I will not be overshadowed! I will outlive you all!

Callum *excitedly starts running away*

Rayla: are you running off to tell your brother?!

Callum: of course I'm going to tell my brother! I'M GETTING MARRIED! *He yells for the whole ass courtyard*

Rayla *to Callum's back* I CAN TAKE IT BACK Y'KNOW! I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT FINGER FOR THIS RING! CALLUM!
