#she has done nothing but love Xaden over and over again

[justascrollingghost]

Not to be dramatic but if Rebecca Yarros gives a Violet Sorrengail a second love interest in the next book I’m not fucking reading it. You’re going to tell me that girl would turn her back on Xaden? That she’d even consider not finding a way to help him? That she wouldn’t be going out of her mind trying to find ways to fix it? That she wouldn’t chase him across the globe if he tried to run away to keep her safe? Nah.

Garrick Tavis Dad HC's

Kind of a part 2 to last weeks Garrick Tavis with Pregnant Reader HC's. You cannot tell me this man does not give off girl dad vibes. He just screams it to me. So this will all be based around Garrick having a little girl. Masterlist

This man would be over the moon when he finds out it’s a little girl. His little girl. He vows then and there to protect her at all costs. He also immediately starts asking for another one, earning an eye roll from his partner.

He loves nothing more than to sit on the couch or somewhere outside, cuddling his little girl. And nearly always falling asleep with her cradled to his chest.

That girl goes everywhere with him that he can take her. To the point Xaden, Bodhi and the others get sad if he doesn’t turn up with her. She has all of them wrapped around her little fingers already.

Every time she does something new he gets so excited. He will rush to where ever you are and tell you immediately what she’s done. Most times you have to tell him to slow down and repeat what he has said as he’s spoken way too fast.

Once the Toddler stage hits though, this man gets even more excited. He can’t wait to be able to play games with her and teach her everything he can. He gets even more excited when she turns into a daddys girl and just wants to do everything with him.

He’s taking care of Chradh? She’s right there helping out. Garrick being quite impressed with how patient Chradh is with her. Especially when she paints one of his claws bright pink to make him look prettier.

He’s sparing and practicing with the boys? He makes her a training dummy and wooden sword to practice with off to the side.

She wants to play princesses and have tea parties? This man is sitting at that table that looks ridiculously small next to him, with a tiara that looks just as ridiculously small on his head pretending to drink tea and eat cakes with all the dolls and his little girl.

He would spend hours building playhouses that looks just like a castle for her to play in. And loves when she asks him to play the knight and rescue her from the evil dragon. Chradh, who Garrick thought would roll and eye and want nothing to do with it is just as into it as he is. Sometimes too into it which has resulted in a few crushed or burned down playhouses.

Once the nightmares kick in, Garrick is there and ready to fight off any monsters under the bed scaring his little girl. She isn’t convinced they’re gone? Garrick will sit by that bed and hold her hand till she’s sound asleep again. Most time’s he also falls asleep to and you find him sprawled on the floor with his hand still holding hers.

Garrick is fully stocked up on first aid supplies immediately after her first fall. He is fully prepared for any burns, cuts, grazes and insect bites. No harm is coming to his little girl that he can’t fix.

And no harm will come to her when she is older. No boy is going to mess with her. They’re all too scared of her dad, as well as her uncle’s Xaden and Bodhi. Any boy that is interested in her is going to have to prove it. One wrong move and he’s out. Garrick only wants the best for his little girl.

The boy that does win her heart and Garrick’s approval, they’re pretty much like father and son. Spending time together without her there. They just laugh when she complains her boyfriend has become her dad’s boyfriend.

Heyy love! I am not so sure if I asked you this before (I think I did), could you make a scenario on Bodhi coming into the kitchen and finding us baking/cooking something he really loves. Thank you if you do. ❤️

Hello!! Thank you for your patience as I pulled this together. Life has been lifeing these past few weeks and finding time to write an actual fic vs my usual headcannons has been tough. But here we are. I added a little twist to the request, I hope that's alright. Also, IDK why, but I wanted to bring some angst into this fic. Enjoy. Also also not edited because, it me lolol

Bodhi hadn't realized he had eaten so much today, but realizations like this usually tend to happen when you find yourself spewing your guts into the drain of the quadrant showers, fully clothed and soaking wet. Gods, he would never look at breakfast food the same way ever again.

He would never look at you the same way ever again. That is, if you'd even want to look his way again.

Aside from the bile, feelings of shame and guilt stirred into his stomach.

He walked out on you. After you had done what would be the kindest gesture anyone has done for Bodhi, second to the silver scar with his invisible signature carved onto his cousins back. Fuck, he really messed up.

After taking a few more deep breaths, and a few more heaves of what he assumed was last nights dinner, Bodhi turned off the running water, returned to his room to peel off his clothes and climb into bed. Everything but sleep seemed to find him in the late hours of the night.

The next day he decided to skip breakfast and head to the sparring mats, hoping to clear his mind if not by his own abilities or someone punching some sense into him. Luck came in the form of Garrick, who happily took him up on the offer.

A few sessions later Bodhi was standing with his hands on his muscle of his hips, catching his breath, only to lose it as you entered the gym. He couldn't help but stare, and the moment your eyes both connected he felt that same twist in his stomach despite how empty it was.

You had managed to give him a glare that expressed both your anger and hurt; a marvel of your beauty, one that always made Bodhi awestruck. But, your stare and quick retreat back to the hall caught Garricks attention, "What was that?"

"Nothing." Bodhi shrugged him off.

But, Garrick was both observant, and persistent, and a pain in the ass when the two combine, "Not nothing. She was silently screaming at you to fuck off and hug her with her eyes. What's the deal? I thought you two were good."

Bodhi decided to just cave in, because he knew Garrick wasn't going to let up. He's like a dog on a bone when it comes to gossip and the fact that Bodhi looked up to him like a brother didn't make it any easier, "I uh...we." Bodhi found himself stumbling over his words, "She invited me to her room, she had a surprise for me."

"Oh did she now."

Bodhi grimaced, "Not like that, cut it out."

"So what was it?"

Bodhi couldn't help but look at the floor, "You remember those tea cakes we had growing up back home? The ones with the-"

"The best icing ever? Perfectly baked? Hells yes I remember them." Garrick eyes were growing wider by the second, "We used to get in so much shit trying to take extra ones from the staff at Riorson House. I had to shovel so much horeshit that one summer when Xaden and I stole a whole plate. Why the fuck are you bringing up tea cakes?"

"She made them." Bodhi answered simply, "I dont know how she did it but she found the recipe and...she made them. Just like the ones back home."

"Fuck."

"It gets worse." Bodhi added sourly, "You know she's good at drawing right? She practically redrew the map in our land navigation exercise because she's got this fantastic memory. Well, she also..." Fuck was he going to vomit again, "She drew me a landscape of Aretia. The mountains and valleys. She got a scribe to get a copy of an old battle brief from the rebellion on a favor and copied it. She knew I was feeling homesick so she brought home to me, said we could eat together in front of her drawing...and pretend I was back home."

Garrick took a step backwards, eyes now wide in disbelief, "Well...fuck. So, wait why was she glaring at you this morning."

"I may have...." Bodhi mumbled out the rest.

"You what?"

"I may have...maybe....I walked out on her - wait Garrick what are you - ack!" Bodhi didn't have any time to react as his body was hoisted in the air and slammed down on the mat in an aggressive tackle. It only took a few seconds but Bodhi found himself with his arm twisted behind his back and face pressed into the leather mats, It was just like he was a teenager again, "Garrick! Let me go."

"You're telling me she made this nice ass gesture for you. Drawing you a picture of our fucking home," He gritted that part out in a harsh whisper, "And you walked out on her. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Bodhi couldn't help but bite out, "You're giving me lectures on how to talk to women? You're one to talk- Ow, Fuck!"

Bodhi found himself stuttering over his words, it didnt' help that he was feeling the blood drain from his arm under Garricks secure grasp "I don't know! I got...I got overwhelmed and-"

"Gods, I already have to deal with one lovestruck idiot, I can't take having to chase down another one. I'm going to get you excused from classes today because you're clearly sick in the fucking head. Get your shit together and go fucking apologize or I will take you up to the parapet and throw you off myself." He ended his threat with a final shove of his forearm, pushing Bodhi's face further into the mat

"Okay, Okay!" He whined before Garrick finally released him, muttering a few reprimanding words in Tyrrish before walking out of the gym. Bodhi rolled onto his back to stare at the ceiling. He had a lot of making up to do.

And he did. He spent most of the morning pacing around his room trying to think of a proper apology. Then, it was to the infantry quadrant to cash in on a favor himself and finally it was mid afternoon and he had enough courage to face you. So he waited outside your room for what felt like hours until you finally arrived, pausing at the end of the hall. As you attempted to turn away raced towards you, almost dropping to his knees to begin his apology, only for you to drag him into your room, "Its not safe for you to do that."

Gods, even when your pissed at him, you still have the clarity to recognize the politicalness of your relationship. You really are absolutely brilliant.

Over the course of the afternoon he fulfilled his objective of apologizing profusely, from being venerable in his own trauma of what happened in Aretia, and how meaningful your gift was that it created a sense of foreboding joy within him, and emotions he hadn't taken the time to process bubbled over, letting you down in the process.

You listened carefully, but even you had your limits of watching a man you love kneel before you with such shame on his face. You wrapped him into a hug, finding it healing for you both. And, as the merciful and and kind woman you are, you unwrapped the tea cakes from the cloth on your desk next to the painting, inviting him to sit down with you again to enjoy a meal a meal from his home.

"You're my home." He said to you, his hands never letting go of yours, "I will always be home whenever I am with you."

And he made a promise to you that day, when all was over with this war, when the truth of his rebellion eventually finds itself out, when the venin are vanquished beyond the barrens, he would sit with you under a tree in the hillsides of Aretia as husband and wife, your children playing in the not far off distance, safe and happy.

And as a man of his word, three years later, he did just that.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess you forgot the jack barlowe reveal 😂 this is really close to canon and I can seeeeeee the post-heist torture chamber from here and I’m not readyyyy😭😭

It’s so funny to see Xaden calling Violet a means to an end after the coronation and now getting so angry she’s putting herself in danger when that’s literally what he married her for is delicious. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW‼️

“I can’t live without you” 🥺🥺🥺 Violet is literally DW refusing to read the sign on the door. She won’t believe him until he outright says it but my heart hurts for him especially when she turned her back. Does he understand that she didn’t interpret it the way he meant it?

Bodhi is such a little snitch (I love him sm). At this point, everyone in Aretia must know Xaden is head over heels the way they’re all trying to apologize on his behalf 😭

Xaden must have felt to isolated being the ruler of Tyrrendor in the wake of their parents death and having to shoulder the weight of everything alone. I’m happy he has a partner in Violet and never has to be alone that way again.

I wonder what contingencies Xaden has in place to keep Violet safe.

Amazing chapter, as always 💕💕💕

I started writing this chapter, got a bit in, and then went “oh fuck” 😂 I’m thinking I might want him around for later lmao

Xaden definitely knows Violet didn’t take it the way he meant it, but seeing as they’re working on ✨boundaries✨ and ✨communication✨ and her body language clearly said she was done with the conversation, he decided to let it drop for now

Everyone is BEGGING Violet to put Xaden out of his misery and she’s just like. No. He did this. He’ll be fine.

Thinking about how lonely and heavy ruling alone was for Xaden makes me big sad, which is why we just focus on the fact that he has Violet now and nothing else 🥰

Thank you so much!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I love that one of Remi’s lasting legacies is that she decapitated a man a drug his body through the quadrant. Like it was meant as a message for Dain’s Dad and Varish. But the rider busy bodies have nothing better to do than gossip and it has made its way through the rings. I can’t wait till she sees Mira again, I got a feeling she will bring that shit up quick fast and in a hurry.

Also Xaden whispering his true feelings to Remi when he thinks she doesn’t know what she’s saying is so soft and I am here for it🥹. Now to see his reaction when he finds out she knows and can speak Tyrrish. And Remi’s protectiveness over her ring so soft 🥺

And Queen Lia 👑 (long may she reign). That is her rider and no one messes with her. Although honestly we all know that Tairn and Sgaeyl are terrifying. But I think I would be more afraid of Lia. She seems like she would wage psychological warfare before incinerating someone; where the other go would just end you for the offense, and we love that for her. She deserves all the best goats and sheep in the vale.

Lastly I am living for Remi’s exasperation with her squad. “Who snuck in weaponry?” and when the guys started splitting up the food. It’s giving ‘come on guys do I have to think of everything’. She’s just so done and it’s relatable.

Sorry for the long message but I got to gush over my favorite story

Mira: Why did I hear you decapita-

Remi: Brennan’s alive!!

Mira: wait…what??? Are you…ok??

lmao 😂

Lía deserves all the fattest sheep 🥹 she’s the real loml 💖💖💖

Creon eyes blazed, it took all his self control not to turn his magic against him. To not spear into his mind and drag him through every atrocity they did to him or made him do.

He looked to the winding river a few feet from them. He laughed, it sounded false even to his ears. He mentally cringed, well fine. His father wanted honesty?

Let's see how much of it he could handle.

Creon pivoted to him, stepping toward him.

"I rejected her when we were 19. The bond has always been passive. As we grew we could always sense each other's emotions. I suppose the Asteri wanted to push us to be something quicker. They locked us in isolation chambers for a month. I couldn't feel her, I couldn't feel anything."

He allowed himself to shudder, fingers digging into the pendant.

"When they opened the doors - which they never told us why they locked us away. I couldn't think what we've done to be punished."

He exhaled focusing on the river again.

"The bond Sang, we consumated it but I rejected after. She was spiraling and she needed to survive on her own. I'd like to think she thanked me for that - she would hate for me to think her a fool."

He cut his eyes to him.

"Do you know what they did to me? What your legacy did to me? You think the other kids were kind?! I'm not saying I could be kinder to these creatures. But why should I? Why shouldn't I be the worst version of myself when that's kept you two protected?"

He stepped closer, the silence still now. He could feel nothing move around them.

""We were there when the Asteri court in Pangera got destoryed 130 years ago. Have you tasted Asteri grief? It's heady but I couldn't - I didn't want to loose her. I've always loved her father but I wouldn't commit to her if I ever thought I'd become like you."

He took another step closer, anger making his body go rigid.

"Do you know how many nights I cried myself to sleep wondering why you both never chose me? Do you know how many days I wondered why she still loves you? She doesn't hide it and it hurts to know in the end she gave everything to follow you. She -"

Creon shut his eyes and looked to the medallion in his hand. His lips twitching up in a soft smile.

"Anaxia and I don't have children and probably never will. But I will never have them think I would choose myself over them."

He glanced at Orion, the mask falling away. He looked exhausted.

"If you want me to say the violence weighs me, it doesn't. I'd do it all again, I know what my loyalty breeds, protection. You're important but I'm useful. And as long as I stay that way she doesn't get hurt and neither do either of you - you're welcome. It's more than either of you deserve."

He rolled his eyes focusing on the sky.

"I met some kin or something when I was 13 at the academies. He told me to never mention his name, but I half expect it was some hypothermia induced fever. The others kids had locked me out, it was only later that Saxon and Anaxia got me in through a window. Rosie counteracted the effects - why am I telling you the names of people you despise? You think they had choices? That I didn't hate Anaxia for Pollux, or Saxon for his bat shit mother. She's only like that because Castor is dead. Rosie's mother is probably the only one that seemed less insane, if you work with Ophion ask about Estelle apparently our families were close or something."

He waved it off focusing back in him.

"I don't care about what you think. I'd be dead without all of them, they are the only family I acknowledge. And if that pains you maybe you both should have taken the deal to raise me and not give me to the Asteri. What kind of life have I lead? Sometimes I wished they'd just killed me. At least then I wouldn't have to care wether you both lived or died."

He exhaled.

"The name Xaden mean anything to you? He told me our family is loyal to blood. And that even if I couldn't see you both did everything you could to protect me."

He sneered spinning away.

"You're free now, what have you done but bury yourself in your freedom and not talk to me? I clung to that hope but clearly it was a joke. Maybe Ma is different but you're selfish and would probably turn your back to keep that halo off you."

@siderealxmelody / *

There were many times (especially lately) that he wanted to tear the other male apart. Oh he knew he wouldn't; couldn't do that to his own blood. But the aggravation that Creon gave him-- He surely hadn't been that way with his father, right?

❝ That possessiveness won't end well for you. Especially considering you turned her away. ❞ He didn't get into the whole Shahar versus Bryce right now. It wasn't the main issue, surely.

❝ Anyone can go too far, Creon. They let you run rampant, but if you show yourself as incapable of control? If you become more trouble than anything else? They will end you as surely as they will anything else. ❞

THEY ARE ENDGAME

Not to be dramatic but if Rebecca Yarros gives a Violet Sorrengail a second love interest in the next book I’m not fucking reading it. You’re going to tell me that girl would turn her back on Xaden? That she’d even consider not finding a way to help him? That she wouldn’t be going out of her mind trying to find ways to fix it? That she wouldn’t chase him across the globe if he tried to run away to keep her safe? Nah.
