alright whats up fuckers get timelined.
you want your deep taagnus fankid lore, this might be the only spot ya get it for a while. also included: a little on lup's first kid, a LOT on taako having a bad time in general, some relationship details btwn taako and magnus past and present, casey character development to follow it up, and then a little bit on the twins. the, like, little twins, i mean. the ones that taako and magnus have.
warnings for taakoās general, like, everything: identity crisis, his issues socializing, loneliness, depression, gender dysphoria (weirdly enough, not pregnancy related), his experience with chronic pain, and later being diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder, which in itself is not a trigger warning but moreso his dealing with it is not particularly healthy and could be sort of self-harm-y in a way. and for magnus: his RSD is mentioned, his self-worth issues are alluded to, mentions of past self harm, he gets very emotional about family planning in regards to past relationships, his death is eventually mentioned but isnāt part of the timeline nor is it gone in depth on.
in general theyāre also justā¦ taako and magnus. theyāre kind of shitty guys and kind of immature and kind of fucked up. theyāre good to their kids, theyāre just still, yāknow. taako and magnus.
i can not stress enough, pregnancy and issues relating to this. difficulties conceiving and postpartum depression are IN. HERE. everything turns out and everyone involved is perfectly fine, it just takes some time to get there and itās a rough road, but they ultimately end up doing it twice and theyāre both pretty firmly in the camp of it being worth it.
anything else that needs to be mentioned please let me know holy shit and iāll exercise my best judgment, cus i know some of it might be wild to read, but i want to get triggers down for the most part. stuff thatās not triggering, likeā¦ oops, sorry, but. itās taagnus mpreg what do you WANT FROM ME. if i listed everything that people might not like it would just be another 6k words.
basics:
lupās first kid, missy, is about 5 years older than casey, who was carried by taako, and is about 3Ā½ years older than elodie, whoās a few minutes older than rian, both of which were carried by magnus.
tl;dr coming soon. and by tl;dr i mean a shorter version thatās been picked through and had all of the bullshit unnecessary garbage taken out. :)
timeline:
- after story & song magnus and taako do not talk for like a year. itās rough. they correspond a little, magnus sends him funny good things he finds like fuckin. silly chainmail messages and pictures of stuff he thinks taako might like, but heās trying his best not to overstep any boundaries. taako has not actually established these boundaries. magnus has just sort of assumed them. unfortunately, taako is not a guy who goes out of his way to go to magnusā place of residence and yell at him.
- but he doesnāt keep it up forever. he does go fucking find magnus. and he does go yell at him. and magnus does kind of have a fit about it. but itās fine. itās taako, and he also knows that getting down here was probably. a hell of a lot. and he does appreciate it.
- they immediately click though. because of course they do. and a year and change is a long time for them to go without each other while also actively knowing that theyāve gone without each other. itās weird. taako one minute is living in lupās empty ass house because sheās at work and kravitz is at work and he hates everyone who has any time to spend with him, and then the next, he and magnus are picking out like. the color of the accent wall in the livingroom. what kind of flooring should be in the hallways. (magnus wants hardwood, taako refuses to go with anything except shag. carpeting.)
- itās sort of nice! taako stays a homebody but heās not completely disconnected. weirdly enough, he sees more of lup. and kravitz. and barry and merle and davenport and everyone. mostly because he doesnāt avoid outings as much. and because he starts going to parties. and goes fishing with davenport. and gets all of his and magnusā weed from merle that he felt too fucking sick to sit home alone and smoke himself. magnus still has like, a business to run. and taako kind of does, too, sort of, even though heās been really fucking that up recently and taking a huge backseat on accident.
- anyway, they settle. taakoās doing okay. magnus is doing okay. they had already decided years and years and years ago they werenāt gonna get married and EXTRA arenāt gonna now. magnus doesnāt want to get married again. taako hates it as a concept. itās complicated. but theyāre together. itās semi-open. taako occasionally sleeps with other people. rarely. listen, he barely goes out, let alone fucks around, and magnus knows it.
- lup has missy like 2 yrs after taako moves out. which does mean that she got pregnant only like a year after he left (elven gestation w/ their slow ass metabolisms), which heās a little peeved about, but whatever, he gets it. heās happy for her. heās not as absolutely gutted as he thought heād be if it ever happened. is he numb? he can't tell.
- turns out he'sā¦ not? maybe? yes, taako being dissociated and numb usually results in being a little more blase about stuff than hed normally be, but he feels. in it. he has an attachment that he's used to having, because it's lup, and it feels almost natural again. almost? there is no way he's picking this feeling apart. they will remain complicated forever because a child is definitely not something that he has to confront (all lies he knows he knows better.)
- weird concept: so how about confront it?
- taako is weirded out by this Thing. lupās proud of it, though, and magnus is immediately and irreparably damaged by holding this baby, taako can see it in his stupid face, the way he just fucking. grins. and tears up and holds this thing so gently. lup is looking at taako like do not let this guy squish my baby, iāll kill you, and taakoās just thinking the whole time, yeah, i get it, but like. fucking look at him.
- anyway rightfully she doesnāt let magnus hold the thing for more than like ten minutes before she wants it back but itās fine - they all relax, taako worries about something else for a change, gets his heart ripped out of his body still beating by this thing crying, everythingās good.
- and now heās obsessed. partly just with missy, lupās baby, because sheās hilarious and sheās cute, and she literally just keeps getting FUCKING cuter, but partly with the idea of. baby. like. he could have one of those. heās got everything for it. like, a house, and a boyfriend, andā¦ financial stability. emotional stability? yeah, man! like, heās super getting there, isnāt he?!
- he and magnus talk one night. taakos literally sat on his chest over the top of him and starts asking him abt this fucking coffee table lup bought when she first moved into her house, and magnus is like oh yeah, i like that thing, itās really cool, i kinda wanna make one just like it, but it feels like itād be copying, at this point. and taakoās like holy shit EXACTLY. exactly correct. but what if we did anyway. just, like, in our own. way. yāknow? itād be different if we did it. we could handle it. we have space for it. if we both worked on it maybe we could like. take care of it. sides, itād be nice to just. have more shit that has some of you. in it. that will last a long time. so i donāt have to like, go out and replace it later, and iā¦ know that itās from you, and everything, yāknow.
- anyway they keep having this conversation. like, every day, taako brings this up. talks about hey, listen, i know that this is uncharacteristic. you gotta take me seriously here, though. iām so serious. and magnus is likeā¦ serious aboutā¦ buying a coffee table? and taakoās like NO. i mean maybe, if the conversation must go in that. direction. later, but weāre fucking. capable, are we not?? of doing it ourselves? or we should at least find out?
- eventually magnus asks him, hey, are weā¦ talking aboutā¦ the kind of coffee table. that you and me, have, uh, tried to make. before? and taako goes LOL, tried?! no. weāve never had the time or resources to get it like, anywhere near a real project. pal, have we maybe accidentally started on it, and then had that shit totally made useless like every other bodily state ever over and over for ninety nine years? i genuinely dunno man, if we have, thatās between our respective guts, the coffee table, and god only. and magnus just goes ohh. so we are definitely talking about the same thing. okay. oh wow.
- they decide they want one! theyll fucking. build a damn. coffee table. okay.
- and so they start! and they work on it! and they fucking! try! they do eventually get to the point where they can say aloud that theyāre trying for a baby. it takes an embarrassingly long time. they are not known for their healthy communication. but taako forces it out into the light eventually. he's okay with being silly about it on a basic level but listen, someone has to rein magnus in a little bit on that. a little. (magnus actually hadn't expected taako to go for it, calling what they're doing having kids, so it's a huge surprise and an extremely positive one, because as much as he's stalwart in the idea of honoring the concept, he also kinda gets it.)
- they don't tell people at first. this is entirely because they KNOW people will be weird about it. but the moment he needs someone to complain to he tells lup and then it quickly gets around elsewhere - which. fairly, most people are kind of skeptical. itās taako. taako? child? lup, though, kinda knows. she still has early adulthood memories of conversations complaining about the world and guys devolving into if i ever have kids... and how early on taako did show interest. how it kind of became a thing he stopped talking about over the decades. she believes him. and her believing him makes it easier for everyone else to kind of fall into place about it.
- and taako has a few freakouts. a couple total meltdowns. but they got it. they get it, after almost two years. they get it down, and both of them flip their absolute FUCKING lids but taako way moreso than magnus was expecting in any way shape or form. yeah, it was taakos idea. yeah, its taako whos carrying, so hes probably way excited about it. he just didnt expect such an explosive reaction out of him. given that he's, y'know. taako.
- literally every problem taakos ever had becomes an issue. his bullshit tolerance is now: none. his energy level is now: none. his heat tolerance is now: none. his blood pressure is now: none. his ability to cook and feed himself is now: uhh, very little. which that second thing is not super abnormal, but the first one kinda sucks more than usual. this also peaks right in the middle of summer. hes convinced hes dying. (hes not. they absolutely make sure hes not.)
- he DOES like having a good excuse to make everyone else do everything for him. not a huge fan of the genuine doting, but having someone on call for a bucket any time any where is a power he didnt know he wanted. he doesnt use it genuinely very often, but magnus is GREAT at coming when called, and thats funny.
- they pointedly do not know the sex. it is partly performative. it is partly because taako is in the THICK of a gender crisis (had been before he got pregnant even, it hasn't gotten particularly worse, but it's still there) and if someone in his life found out and started prescribing shit even on accident or coincidentally based on the thing's genitalia he'd fucking lose his shit, so they just don't know, they're not gonna know, it's not a big deal, leave him alone.
- taakos naturally a toe walker. not abnormal for elves from the two sunned plane. their feet are just built for it. he manages to maintain this for a little while. he's always fluctuated in weight, he's fine - but his balance does indeed get so bad, even with his tail, that he has to start walking on his whole foot so he doesn't lean forward.
- this makes him like four inches shorter than usual. this makes him like five inches shorter than magnus. this makes him SHORTER THAN LUP. and he fucking. despises it. he's still taller than magnus BARELY when he has his ears straight up but this is all he has, and those ears rarely stand up for any long amount of time without extreme effort. theyāre HEAVY.
- it does make magnus hugs nice though. magnus won't bearhug him + break his back anymore for the time being, which he misses, but he gets to stuff his face into magnus' chest. which he likes. hes starting to think MAYBE. maybe after he has this baby he MIGHT occasionally get down on his heels just so he can do this. SOMETIMES. but only around select people. there are only a handful of chests hes cool with being smothered in. magnus definitely tops this list.
- it fucking HURTS his HEELS. fuck his ankles or whatever, his heels!!!! he's not used to putting any weight on them. theyre bruised and blistery and he hates it. magnus will now be carrying him forever. (he says this but ends up being the most hermited motherfucker of all time, worse than taako's normal, which is not good, but whatever. people like to come over to HIS HOME and BOTHER HIM, so he doesnt need to go to functions he can't drink or smoke at anyway).
- he is, however, feeling really fucking good about how fucking AWESOME he is, currently. like, one, everyone had to admit that heās taking things super super well, and two, heās being SO open right now. heās being so chill. heās being communicative, heās being honest. heās not being NICE because thatās just not on the table for taako, but heās kind of enjoying having a good excuse to be a little more snuggly. a little more needy. sometimes. when heās not so pissed off he could scream.
- magnus is a fucking. wreck. hes good! hes doing good! but hes crying ALL the TIME. and its PISSING taako off slowly more and more. he knows its just because hes worried or overwhelmed or whatever. who cares. its annoying. he is nice though. maybe the nicest hes ever been to taako. there are a significant number of people who are being nice to him, actually, which is hilarious, and also extremely frustrating. LUP. even lup wont fuck with him in the same way. he has to keep pressing her buttons harder and harder to get her to react. HOWEVER: one person is still ready to pick on him.
- lup's 5 y/o daughter. is RELENTLESS. and honest to god one of the most stable and delightful things throughout the whole pregnancy. this kid has only the vaguest idea of what's going down, is extremely nice, but also compromises NO asks. if she wants him to make her breakfast she WILL cry about it. if she wants to play with his hair, she'll figure out how to do it, even if shes gotta ambush him. great tenacity on this girl.
- they have casey, their first kid, spring-ish? early spring. they have her at home. it sounds like a great idea at the time, and it turns out perfectly fine, but there is the ego barrier of describing to people the story of your firstborn child being PLANNED on being delivered by a lich and the grim reaper along with the boyfriend and then ending up getting stagefright. this is good, you might think, this means grubby corpsehands aren't on your newly born child! and you would be correct, instead it's just magnus, who is crying MORE than the baby and taako combined and it's FUCKING annoying, and lup's not even there to make it funnier. it's fine. it's like, bonding. and shit.
- shes small. smaller than taako would have thought and also would have hoped, and shes bald, and her ears are fucked up somehow, they dont have anything, like, in them to move them around or whatever it seems like, but maybe she'll grow into that. maybe that's fine. not a whole lot of info out there currently on babies who are half alien elf half alien human. so yknow. as long as she's eating and breathing and warm and clean they're pretty happy.
- taako can not let this thing go. magnus occasionally gets to hold her or feed her, but for her first nine/ten days, taako has her almost exclusively and wont put her down. he started sleeping later into his pregnancy because it required less effort than meditating (altho it takes more time), but hes back to it now, so he can keep this baby, who he has still not named btw!, in his arms and remain alert enough to sleep with her.
- two weeks. three weeks. she's FINALLY getting a little bigger. MAYBE taako can manage to have people over to see her in person instead of just showing photos. maybe. the amount of people that technically know about this kid's existence even is a ridiculously low number. the amount of people in the public that knew he was having a kid is most, since he made a statement about it, but the kid herself was never, like. announced. he just doesn't. want to share. at all.
- gets rough. gets really rough. having lup and missy over nearly kills him. he cant even let his TWIN SISTER hold his baby. what the fuck is wrong with him? what is wrong with their relationship? why does he feel like it somehow makes him a better parent when it does not? why has he lost all control of what emotional stability he had? he'd been worried he wouldn't be attached enough to her, that he'd fuckin, abandon her or whatever, and it's so nice that that fear was unwarranted that he doesn't want to confront that he's overcorrecting.
- missy gets to hold casey before lup does. and taako feels bad about it, kinda. BUT: she didn't technically hold the baby on her own, taako just held her while missy put her arms under her as well, but still. then lup. this was a few visits in. casey is still not technically named yet, but taako knows already. kinda.
- she gets her name by two months. it's not elven, like he and lup had, but it's got the same basic rules, which is a compromise he and magnus come up with. once she gets old enough, if she wants something else, she fuckin' names herself. if she wants something else for like. gender purposes, they'll deal with that when that comes up. for now she's casey. burnsides? maybe.
- she stays FUCKING BALD. taako can not get over it. he has hair. magnus is COVERED in it. why's she bald? why's she SO BALD?
- magnus is audhd and taako is autistic. they know that she's gonna probably not necessarily follow the average infant timeline. this turns out to be extremely true. she's very quiet. she makes noises, but even as she gets into multiple years of exposure, she doesn't speak common or elvish, except repeating certain phrases she's heard often (some of her favorites are calling magnus mean names and 'i don't want to', because the former makes her parents laugh and the latter makes uncomfortable situations resolve a lot of the times it's used).
- she also doesn't walk. ok, she kinda walks, she gets up on her feet and uses walls and objects to walk alongside them, or walks slowly with a leg to hold onto. she's very particular and delicate about her foot placement, but still ends up with her ankles out. magnus thinks she might be rolling them? but she seems okay? they get that checked out, though. definitely. make sure she's not in pain or anything. she ends up with some braces for her ankles and heel, but she's still more than a little pigeon toed.
- casey is a shy little thing. very observant. she likes watching people do things. literally anything. she will sit and watch taako cook, she likes to watch the aquarium, she likes to watch people write and draw and cast spells, she likes making other people play with her toys so she can watch. she sleeps with taako and magnus more often than not, either being held by taako while he meditates or lying between them on the mattress once she gets a little older.
- missy ADORES her. missy is a little upset that she doesn't like dressing up and having her hair played with, but she loves casey's dark red hair, thinks shes super cute, loves her floppy ears, just adores her. this is, to her, her baby sister, and taako and lup do nothing to dissuade that. basically are sisters, right? who cares. they live right next to each other, and see each other almost every day, since taako does a lot of watching them during the day now, whichā¦ admittedly, he's still working on, but he's got like 8 years of experience by now, three of those with his own baby, so he's. like, getting it. he's understanding it.
- this is around the time taako starts hiring out losers to watch the children (or child, sometimes just casey). ie he makes angus do it when possible, or alum he's still pals with from some of the first years of the school's establishing, or other family friends who are around. merle's off limits. as is she who shall not be MENTIONED in his household.
- with a tiny bit of time alone magnus and taako find out that ā¦ they want another kid. taako brings it up. another baby. oops.Ā
- again, taako brings it up, but magnus is fully on board. exceptā¦ hold on not really: shit was ridiculously rough on taako specifically, and heās really, really not excited to have taako go thru it again. which is fair. definitely in the top 100 shitty wild things that have happened to taako, if only for the relative novelty of it and how much it sticks in his memory (haw-haw), but like. he wouldnāt say it if he wasnāt willing to do it one more time. like, just once. heās got it in the bag now, he knows whatās up. plus, he would not at all mind having like. a year off. of just being sick and hanging out with casey and missy. magnus is skeptical. their decision is easier this time, though, even with everything considered.
- they talk about it briefly but theyāre pretty into the idea of magnus carrying, maybe. if they can get it to work. they had some fuckin issues last time, so, like. what if they start trying (stressful but cool), see if it sticks (lower amount of stress, more casual) and if it does thatās cool, and if it doesnāt, oops, must be something thatās not gonna happen? magnus is an older guy at this point, which was factored in but ultimately didnāt keep them from giving it a shot. once again they start trying without actually telling. anybody. except each other. mostly because itās not set in stone.
- funnily enough? performing in this way specifically gives taako weird dysphoria. thereās also a little scene in which magnus, whoās been out as nonbinary for like, 15 years at this point, talks about how heās totally cool with carrying a child, doesnāt bother him, heās nonbinary, NOT that itād be weird if a man did it, because you did it taako and that was fine, and that also makes taako squirm a little. heās working on it. heās spent so fucking long getting that like, femme in a masculine way thing down, whyās it bothering him now?? ugh.
- luckily, doesnāt take a whole lot of trying. unluckily, taako is a little annoyed that magnus gets pregnant so easily. whatever. he still gets his baby out of it. (yeah, casey is his baby, this baby is their baby, since he canāt claim it all himself, but itās still definitely partly his, duh. casey is just his though.)
- angus starts doing babysitting stuff for casey. taako ALSO ends up getting his GODDAMNā¦ joints checked out. fine. whatever. for casey, because sheās having issues with her joints too, obviously, and he can talk about how he feels slightly more than his mostly nonverbal toddler. heās forced himself to be verbal over the fucking. centuries. so he gets it. he can handle maybe informing whatever genetic thing sheās fucking got, cus heās kind of always known that lup doesnāt have nearly the same difficulty he does with chronic pain. so this is on him. this is on him now.
- taako gets himself a nonspecific hypermobility disorder diagnosis. so, like, sweet, i fuckin guess, heās gone like 300 years without it. also, they donāt even have an actual name for it. thanks. feels awesome. after years and years of forcing it down, heās forced to actually pay attention to the pain and it Fucking Sucks. not a project he thought heād be starting on while magnus was pregnant, but whatever. itās fine. life is FINE.
- magnus is actually faring really well. which is also jealousy-inducing in taako. anyway, magnus is sort of miserable about how low energy he is, suddenly, though, but thatās about the most of it, since his brain doesnāt slow down to match the pace of his body. not in the traditional sense, anyway. taako does not understand what he means by this because to him magnus is still bouncing off the walls. he is, however, a great source of humor at the time (as he fucking ALWAYS is, taako always finds him ridiculously stupidly too fucking funny for him to even be REAL, ugh).
- double appointment day. taako sends casey off with angus, and theyāre gonna doā¦ whatever they do. heās given angus some free rein on what he does with the baby. he kinda trusts angusā instinct. a little more than he did when casey was an infant, anyway. this is a decision he will eventually regret, because while he is getting the shit annoyed out of him by being quizzed on his pain and fitted for digitigrade AFOs he doesnāt want to use (the other braces recommended arent as bad since his like, fingers arenāt so different from most peopleās, itās just just feet and legs that need extra special shit) and then getting slammed with the major whammy of the fact that up until now magnus has been RIGHT: theyāve been missing a TWIN at past appts, and twins are now for sure confirmed. plus, angus is doing unspeakable things, ie he has been introducing casey to lucretia even though taako has said this should not be done at all. today, lucretia makes the mistake of seeing if taako has been teaching her elven sign language.
- magnus is beyond stoked, taako is torn between being excited and being extremely, outrageously jealous because if one of them was going to have twins, it should have been him, goddammit. but whatever. they tell the relevant parties: ie again it stays mostly under wraps except to really close family.
- casey continues seeing lucretia. itās not a SECRET, itās just not being said out loud to taako, exactly, is angusā reasoning here. they both know that itās going to get out eventually - and it happens sooner rather than later, for sure. what ends up breaking it wide open is one night taako is watching casey and she makes a motion at him that heās absolutely certain at first is a sign, but itās just mixed in with a bunch of other hand waving and other movements sheās prone to doing. so it canāt be. plus, he hasnāt been teaching her elven sign. nobody has, have they? So after she goes to bed, taako stands in front of magnus and makes the same series of movements - nonsense and all, and gets confirmation from magnus that it looks a lot like sign language, but magnus denies teaching it to her.
- lup also denies teaching it to her. lup and taako havenāt used it in tens of years, and when they arenāt using it, there isnāt a reason for the other birds to use it, given that it was mostly used for taako to communicate. plus, very few people on faerun use it, given that itās a language that doesnāt even originate on the goddamn plane. sheās not learning it from angus, probably. probably? FUCK.
- taako confronts angus about it and he immediately folds and tells taako everything on lucretiaās behalf, because he knows itās going to get rough if they have to be in the same room together. taako is. devastated. and angry. but angus explains to him that heās always there, he makes a super good middle man, casey LOVES lucretia, they get along really well, she hasnāt been telling casey anything controversial. casey isnāt even old enough to like, get lucretiaās life story. sheās not getting lucretia propaganda, taako. but she has been um, maybe, using elven sign language, because they thought maybe youād been trying that, too, because she hasnāt been verbal. Taako confirms he has NOT been, he hasnāt used it since cycle 99 started, because he had it fucking TAKEN from him, is the thing.
- but magnus also starts using it again. starts speaking in ESL to casey. taako gets mad about it, but he canāt deny that itās much more comfortable for him most of the time, and that he can use his limited energy being more expressive bodily when he doesnāt have to curate his voice specifically like he does when talking aloud. magnus is into it! and he makes sure to tell taako this. taako starts using ESL more. a little. to see if casey will pick it up.
- casey does pick it up. casey picks it up much easier than common or elvish. she has some coordination issues in her hands like taako does, exacerbated by her being like four, but she can communicate a little better and itās. weird. itās weird. taako is weirded out by it. but everyone else in the house just keeps - even lup gets in on it, soā¦
- he gets to talk to casey more. itās so sweet. sheās an asshole and he loves it. she is a lot like taako in so many ways. it is a weird thing to witness. sheās not exceedingly social. sheās kind of . aloof. which is something he knows heās been accused of, but he didnāt really get it until he saw literally his fuckin. weird self reflected back at him. he realizes pretty quick that sheās definitely a person. sheās fairly independent and at this stage ENJOYS sleeping in her own bed. she likes the routine of brushing her teeth before bed. she hates socks (so does taako), she loves bugs, but sheās scared of dogs. she likes magnusā woodwork, but doesnāt like powertools, and has next to no interest in magic, but she does like watching taako cook - she also has strong opinions about food, which taako is a little frustrated about at first, but soon finds is fun to work around. he likes flexing his cooking creativity for the first time in years.
- taako fucking. eventually uses his braces, but only because he wants casey to also use them. she has such a hard time walking and he absolutely hates the idea of her being in any amount of pain, much less pain comparable to what he went through as a kid before he made himself deal with it quietly. neither taako nor casey are big on the sensory input these things provide, but they get through it together. they are just kind of on the same wavelength when it comes to sensory overload - so even if taako doesnāt realize it, given that heās had hundreds of years to perfect masking even to himself, once caseyās had about enough of it, taako can pretty reliably tell that itās probably time for him to give himself a break, too, if he can manage it. sheās helping him out a lot, even if she doesnāt exactly know it.
- that winter is when elodie and rian are born, in that order. not at home this time, which magnus is a little indignant about because heās the tough guy here, but ultimately thereās not a whole lot of fight about it. this is partly because magnus burnsides is a bird, and gets whatever he wants, and if he wants a parade of like 20 goddamn people present, nobody, not even a medical professional, has the power to stop him. this time, names were picked out beforehand, mostly because magnus was DEAD SET on not waiting until they were multiple months old. they get these names assigned to them in the same way casey did - as child names, if they want to change them, or permanent if they donāt, or whatever the hell they want to do. magnus takes immediately to calling them duckie and goose, respectively, because he knows that everyone will back him up if taako tries to tell him he canāt call his newly born children what he wants to call them as nicknames. (they do fight about it. everybody is, indeed, on magnusā side, if only because theyāre tired of the naming scheme taako is perpetuating, here.)
- he has also been calling casey bunny for a few years at this point because of her floppy ears (taako wouldnāt let him get away with ādumboā any longer), so it fits the theme. (he later gets a duckling, a gosling, and a bunny tattooed on him. they can change their names all they want, but their childhood nicknames are his forever now!)
- magnus, uh, DOES have a little stint of oh god what have i done. turns out that weirdly enough, having taako baby him a little bit makes him feel better. having taako be kind and surprisingly understanding about his feelings is weird and puts him on edge at first, but really, taako was like this when he was pregnant, too, where heās a little more open and a little more emotionally available, so itās not super surprising in a way that makes it impossible to believe that taakoās actually willing to give him space to grieve and think and worry and wonder.
- elodie and rian are also digitigrade, but their ears are more solid. not quite as mobile as taakoās, but they have some muscle in them instead of caseyās little floppy thing she has going on. theyāre cute and all, but the biggest thing taako canāt get over is the fact that they are both born with hair. istus just keeps fucking kicking him while heās down. magnus doesnāt even worship her, what the fuck.
- theyāre both VERY LOUD. casey wasnāt a crier, the twins are. theyāre loud, theyāre rowdy, theyāre babies. theyāre, like, real babies, and not little weird creatures like casey. casey is a bug, not a baby, elodie and rian are infants. taako has already set a precedent of being a nighttime caretaker, given that magnus needs 8 hrs of sleep/night and he needs 4 hrs of meditation. so this continues, for the most part.
- yes, they have two infants. they also have a little girl who is now getting finally also fitted for orthotics which is cool. sheās also learning ESL. magnus, taako, lucretia, and lup all know it. basically everyone in her life knows sign language. magnus is a little rusty, but heās taking like. ālessonsā from taako. this is also being taught in moderation to the twins, but the twins have their own shit going on between each other. taako gets to watch these things develop twin language WITHOUT HIM. itās fine.
- lucretia becomes a slightly moreā¦ commonā¦ occurrence. he sees her at parties and gatherings now - they start being invited to the same things. theyāre not involved with each other closely, but theyāre adjacent. they talk SOMETIMES. if thereās a buffer between them. mostly at these gatherings, and only when taakoās sober. the moment heās imbibed anything magnus physically gets between them. it becomes missy and caseyās jobs to watch the twins and magnusā to watch taako to make sure he doesnāt say or do anything too fucked up.
- elodie is a huge casey fan. loves casey to death, but they have the sibling dynamic going on where casey is so focused on being fully enamored with an looking up to missy that she sort of ignores elodie, and elodie is so focused on casey that she ignores missy, who just wants everyone to be friends together so bad.
- the twins are definitely a step up in complicated parenting. casey was a good first step. somehow? got what is the beginner-friendliest baby. some fucking how. these guys, though. elodie is a very curious kid, a very energetic kid, a very intense kid. playful, extroverted. chatty even when she doesnāt have like. language down yet. rian less so. rianās more like casey in this regard. less chatty. needs a lot of quiet time.
- magnus used to have a stim where he would ball up his fist and slam it into his chest or shoulder, which definitely, definitely was not good for him, given that he eventually got very strong and was giving himself some pretty gnarly bruises and lacerations with it. he also used to (still does, but slightly less) deal with really bad RSD. it kind of fucks him up watching rian go through the same things. taako is just kind of like āyeah, dude, the dark mirror, weāve all been peering into itā and magnus is like wow. huh. this is wild. iām sorry, little guy.
- rian ends up sharing a room with casey once heās old enough (not permanently, but itās an option for him). he does better in a quiet environment and elodie is not super conducive to this, but casey is, with her also preferring no loud or repetitive sounds. she also relies more heavily on ESL than the other kids, which rian uses with her quite often while he feels more pressured into speaking verbally to others.
- by this time magnus has made casey what he calls her rabbit hutch - basically, as a toddler, she always ended up like, under her bed, or in her closet, or what have you to sleep. taakoās solution to this was āoh baby come sleep in my bed thenā, but she didnāt want this, so magnus makes her a little doghouse style thing. A canopied bed, but with solid walls and a weighted base, and a tighter space inside. it doesnāt last her into her teens, but she does use it a lot as a little kid. itās like a permanent blanket fort. taakoās embarrassed that his daughter lives in a fucking dog house his boyfriend made, but she loves it - and eventually starts letting rian in there, too.
- elodie also likes going in there but 3 kids canāt fit at once, and also she gets bored really fast so most of the time itās casey and rian time only. and they just sit silently in there.
- listen i have a ton of twin lore in my brain but itās very difficult to put down in a concise way. iāll get it out. some day. til then have basics. elodie is a big girl, sheās a tough little girl, she likes being able to help out her mama. (even taako is not allowed to call magnus this. elodie and rian, however, are. for taako is it papa strictly. papa bear will also be tolerated. encouraged.) she loves AXES. she wants one so bad. sheās like six and itās all she wants for every gift-giving event ever is a REAL AXE. taako and elodie absolutely have a Real Sword type conversation. elodie thinks itās hilarious, but also kind of frustrating because no, dad, she really does actually want a real axe.
- elodie ALSO isnāt really a dog person. theyāre okay! she likes them! sheās just not like, dog obsessed. despite magnusā best efforts, she does not develop canine special interest, which heās a little sad about, but itās okay, because he does eventually get it with rian, thankfully. SOMEONE fucking likes dogs in this goddamn household.
- elodie does however LOVE their cats. sheās neutral on the fish and shrimp (did i mention they have a huge saltwater tank. they do. taako raises shramps). she wants a goat. sheās not the pony kid, thatās rian.
- rian is fucking obsessed with animals in general. he loves caseyās stuffed animals. he loves garyl. he loves dogs, especially the big rough guys, mostly because they can handle some roughhousing. he and magnus wrestle, which magnus loves, and they do a lot of work with the dogs, which is GREAT, because by the time rian is 8 or 9 magnus really, really just wants to get back to working regularly, doing dog training and stuff, and he loves having angus and rian around to help.
- OKAY ALL I REALLY KNOW BEYOND THIS IS THAT casey gets really into rollerskating. she likes drawing, but doesnāt stick with it. she likes roleplaying games. taako and lucretia are keyword kinda reintroduced to each otherās lives after a LOT of strife and a lot of fuckups. casey lives with taako for quite a while. idk about the twins yet, but i know that casey is not really ready to go do her own thing for quite a while, and even after she does move out, sheās always got her dad on speed dial, and out of everyone in the universe once magnus is gone, she is one of the only people he will ALWAYS pick up the phone for. every single time, doesnāt matter what heās doing.
ta da thereās more, obviously, but like. this is where iām at. currently. with my fucking. six million words (realistically more like 40-50k, itās hard to compile when itās spread out across many text docs and google docs and shit.)
#taagnus#taag bbs#pregnancy#pregnancy w#I MEAN IT AS PREGNANCY WARNING BUT PREGNANCY W IS ALSO TRUE KINDA. IDK HOW TO TAG FOR THAT BUT ITS IN THE DAMN TEXT BODY TOO SO LISTEN#caseyposting...#i think that counts as caseyposting.#ask for trigger tags seriously. but it is also all under a readmore with a trigger list beforehand. so.

sorry but its keeping me up. i cant sleep. its winter. the twins are born just before candlenights so when magnus gets a random hair up his ass about DECORATING TAAKO WE HAVE TO DECORATE we havent decorated since before casey!!!! taako has to do most of it himself. hauling in boxes and carrying the stupid fucking bush because magnus would absolutely lift a fuckin 70 pound box of metal candleholders and glittery decor if taako let him get within ten feet of one even though the twins are very much not in need of being involved in any weight lifting and magnus will get pokey about finding glitter on their pillows 2 days after being exposed. taakos all frustrated about it because he has a 3 y/o to watch as well who is NOT HELPING CARRY THINGS!!! but magnus is being absolutely snotnosed about it, snively and stressed, so hes gotta fuckin HOLD IT TOGETHER. the entire operation. ALWAYS taakos job to fuckin, make shit work is it not!!! once again here we go!!! but then one night they get a moment where all the lights are put up and the fireplace is going and casey is in bed and he and magnus get to just sit together on the floor and fucking. chill for a little while. and taakos like UGH. okay. this is kinda worth it. hey? not gonna lie, pretty stoked on candlenights present from you this year and magnus is like (sweating).... ididntgetyouanythingreally and taako has to make a split second decision between being pissed off, PRETENDING to be pissed off, and berating magnus relentlessly for not getting his super hilarious and very limited-time pregnancy brand joke, and just ends up laughing and magnus is like whew ok cool you seem fiiiine. its fine (it is fine) (everythings great) (the holidays go fine)
#taag bbs#pregnancy tw#caseyposting...#has become the new overall tag but taag bbs will also stay#i wasnt gonna put this in the taagnus tag but then i remembered ive literally done worse in there so take it#taagnus#may fic this if the spirit moves me.

hrrgh.
taakos a light sleeper. might have something to do with the fact hes not supposed to be sleeping. whatever. he just likes it sometimes, ok. anyway, this becomes exceedingly relevant when casey starts sleeping in her own bed of her own volition. he keeps an ear out constantly for her. she doesnt come into their room often, but when she does, she does this thing where she just stands there and stares thru the dark quietly, so hes gotta learn the sound of teeny footsteps or crawling or what have you to predict when she wants something.
normally all she wants is to say hello. and be reminded that her parents are there. and that theyre sleeping. and that she should be sleeping. sometimes she wants to lay with them bc shes nervous, but not always, although her dad almost always gestures her over. it makes her feel wanted. maybe that's why she goes, even if she doesn't especially want to sleep in her parents' bed. she wants to see taako's ear perk up, swivel, and see him drag himself up to a sitting position to blink at her and go "hey, baby, whats shakin. you gonna come lay with taako, or what?"
she knows her papa loves her too, but its nice that taako notices her every time. its nice that he invites her, even if she says no sometimes. its nice that when she does say yes, and goes over to his side of the bed, he picks her up with a grumble and holds her to his chest as he lays back down, putting her right in the middle of the bed between him and papa. he's nearby, but she gets taako all to herself, taako hugging her and her bunny both.
taakos a light sleeper, but he knocks out fast, and leaves casey with no choice but to calm down and lay quietly in his arms.
stayed up too late now im not tired.... its 4 am man cmon .....
#taag bbs#caseyposting...#sorry sorry sorry sorry this is every night for me its just only at 4 am do i have so little self preservation instinct that i can post it#i dont feel any tireder but thats okay. we are so fucking chilling.#my butterfree is gonna hate me tomorrow. im sorry butterfree ily...#might delete this i dunno well see
