What you think about Fafnir and Takiya romantic hcs envolving a third roomate? If you want and feel ok with this, since we are lacking of polyamorous requests i see, how do you think this could go on with them and the S/O as a Throuple?

Polyamorous relationship headcanons

[ Fafnir & Takiya ]

[ Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid / Kobayashi san no chi maid dragon ]

This is my first time writing for poly relationship aaaaahh im so excited!! I hope you like it dear anon!! And thank you so much for requesting this!!!

Is actually a really good thing that the three of you already live together since Takiya and Fafnir normally doesn't go out of the house (not if it isn't necesary), also it helps you improve with your relationship since all of you will get used to each other easily since both express themselfs and their love in different ways

Takiya has a really good power of adaptability, he easily get used to how Fafnir is and doesn't take him long to get close to him when they started to live together, and now that the three of you are in a relationship he can easily adapt to your personality too and make things work for the three of you (he doesn't mind much, he does it for the people he loves after all)

Takiya can be a good mediator between Fafnir and you if you had troubles with his attitude or even if you have a strong personality, however if you are more calm it won't cause much troubles (and Fafnir will grow more possessive over you two). Also, that is why whenever you start fighting it doesn't normally goes from for a little discussion

Fafnir could be a little possessive over you two, is his dragon nature to be possessive over what he loves, although this start to happen since the moment he developed romantic feelings, and he shows it by asking more about your day (mainly because he wants to know if you come across any danger or threaten that he should take care of) and being more clingy, specially when he goes out with one of you, after some time he gets used to the human world and being in a relationship calm him down a little and yet he can't help but get possessive from time to time (but with time he learn to handle it so it isn't like he will stop you from doing things, he just shows his annoyance and clingliness)

If you ever have to go a leave them for a while (like having to visit your family alone or even a journey through work) they will miss you a lot (specially Fafnir), Takiya makes sure to constantly text you (and tell Fafnir everything you tell him) and even do video calls with Fafnir too, however Farnir is not really good to showing how he truly feels directly even when he is missing you a lot, so from his part he show it by little actions like staing at your side of the bed or where you normally sit and even borrow some of your clothes and wear them while he plays videogames (it actually common to happen for him since you two are constantly out for work). When you are back both greet you since the moment you came into the house, Takiya helping you with your jacket and/or luggage while Fafnir complain about how long it took you

Both of them appreciate and need time to themselfs to just relax and focus in whatever they want to do, is important for them that you respect their time by themselfs, if you ever interrupt them Takiya will ask you kindly to please leave him for a little while promising to put his attention on you later, while Fafnir would be more rude and even glare at you if you insist on interrupting him. And just as they appreciate to have time for themselfs both are completely willing to give you your own time to do whatever you want without them interrupting you

Takiya can be pretty romantic when he wants so whenever it happens that all of you have a date or some plans as a couple is either because of him or you, Fafnir may try to plan something like that too but it won't be something common or cliche

Even when all of you are in a romantic relationship you can easily be mistaken as a group of best friends for how well you get along or how caotic you can be sometimes

Even if you aren't a big fan of videogames both of them will introduce you to the games and motivate you to try and play some with them, both Fafnir and Takiya are really fans of videogames and spend a lot of time playing them so you playing them too can give you an opportunity to spend more time together and something more to share. In the case you already play videogames or even are really good at it expect for this to become a competition between you three most of the times

When it comes to physical affection it isn't too present (unless you are the one who starts it), not because of shyness is more that they tent to show their love in other ways, like acts of service, quality time or giving gifts, however if you are more of physical affection is alright for them, Takiya accept it with open arms since the start while for Fafnir it would take him a while to get used to it (that will lead Takiya to be more affectionate from time to time, when he is being caotic he end up locking you up in a group hug)

As well they don't mind cuddling, you can have a cuddle session or just cuddle them while they are playing videogames (only if they just doing simple tasks), sometimes, when you two are in the mood for cuddles, just resting on Fafnir's back and start snuggling him to try to convice him to let the game for a little while

Fafnir x Takiya Makoto

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

[mooblybloom]

I just had the greatest fafiya fanfic idea:

Basically Takiya does something that is normally considered a dragon courting ritual like giving Fafnir shiny new rock he found on the riverbank or something that made him think of Fafnir then Fafnir's all confused and shit because is Takiya trying to fucking court him? And it doesn't even occur to him that Takiya probably doesn't know any dragon courting rituals

So Fafnir goes to Toro about this because she's been among humans the longest to which she tells him that Takiya probably didn't know what he was doing and that he probably didn't mean it

Que Fafnir being all sad and broody because his crush doesn't probably like him back (He definitely does) Takiya notice is this and then instead of asking Fafnir because he knows him He goes to Kobayashi who overheard Fafnir and taro's conversation and relays this all back to Takiya who understands this and feels stupid for his idiocy then goes to clarify to Fafnir that Yes he does like him but no he did not know that was according ritual... Happily ever after some shit I'm not a fanfic writer although I'd like to be

[datbugboi7]

I redesigned all of mkdm (also a mini rewrite but that's not gone into so shush)

Cause I was bored and a lot of scenes make me feel icky now

Shouta is the most different I think, Lucoa second most but that's just because I tried to add more dragon elements to her.

Anyways

Shout's motivations are still the same but now it's a whole, "I'm an adult now, why does my family still treat me like I don't know what I'm doing!" Instead of, "I'm a kid who just wants to be liked by adults!"

Not much else has changed with anyone else's motivations. I wish the show focused more of Tohru and Kobayashi :/

I also designed some human disguises for the dragons so uhhh, those and doubles (plus Elma lol) under the cut!

And ofc the human disguises :3

[ricihh]

He has two dragons

and you no bitches 😎🤚

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

reason under the cut!

As valid a pairing as Fafiya is, I just don’t really see Fafnir and Takiya having that kind of relationship (plus I ship Takiya with Elma, another rarepair) Also, shipping Lucoa with Fafnir is far better than shipping her with Shouta, who is a minor (and yet somehow there’s far more Lucoa x Shouta fan content than there is for Fafcoa).

Also I think it’s a cute pairing, and they could probably relate to each other very well, as both of them fell victim to a cursed item (in the anime lore, Lucoa lost her goddess status after consuming a cursed liquor which resulted in an incestuous affair with her sister; Fafnir was transformed into a dragon by Andvari’s cursed treasure, with which Loki had paid Fafnir’s father as compensation for accidentally killing Fafnir’s brother Otr).

[fruitsbaskettrash]

Listen, there must be at least ONE time where Takiya walked half naked in front of Fafnir after taking a bath because y’know, where’s the problem between 2 guys right??

Day 12 Fafnir's human

This

I’ve decided that my favorite ships are those ones where you don’t care if they’re together romantically or not, as long as they're together. It doesn’t matter if they’re kissing, as long as you know they’ll have each other’s back through everything, and really it’s a stronger bond than if they were banging anyway.  Because it’s all based off of trust and loyalty.

Happy one-year anniversary of my FafTakElma's Wip! Started January 4, 2022 and so far not finished—a great reason to celebrate, of course!

Oh. Do you want to hear the word of FafTakElma?

Then let's go!

This is the dynamic I imagine for them:

I just love them together and understand that it may seem strange due to their lack of interactions in the anime, so here I will talk more about why and how they work (or almost work, at least).

Almost all of their interactions are taken from Elma's spin-off manga "Elma OL Nikki", so if you haven't read it and don't want to take spoiler, I recommend stopping the post here—the same warning for the main manga, that there is a spoiler from recent chapters (but not so much).

The Takiya x Elma dynamic

They are the typical trope of co-workers to lovers. Even in the anime they are shown getting along very well in the work environment and complement each other in the scenes where they appear with Kobayashi. A friendly, but not so intimate relationship. But it is in the spin-off that we see their real interactions; Elma as an outgoing, cheerful and somewhat silly woman with Takiya, a very patient and very nice guy. Elma is usually shown asking Takiya for help, asking him questions so that he can answer them, and trying to help him (even if most of the time the attempts are completely unsuccessful). As a harmony dragon, I feel that Elma has a natural potential to get along with Takiya's calm and friendly spirit. They would surely reel for a long time in this friendship until Elma, with her terrible dragon social tact, confesses to him. Sure, Fafnir would be very jealous and defensive that Elma was invading his space and pulling Takiya into more social activities (and that's what I'm writing about), but in time I think they would come to an agreement to share Takiya harmoniously and consequently become friends.

Spoilers for chapter 113 of the main manga!!!

I know that the long arc that wrapped up around these chapters is about Elma's arranged marriage and the implications of a polyamour/love triangle between Kobayashi, Elma and Tohru, but I'm not a big fan of that dynamic, much less this arc of the manga. I like hc Tohru and Elma having a past relationship, but I don't think they have a good romantic dynamic in the current moments. Good for those who ship the three of them together (it's a cute ship for sure), but not for me. What I took away important from these chapters, however, is the implicit confirmation that Elma is polyamorous. She suggests several times to Tohru a polyamory between the three of them, even though Tohru doesn't seem willing to share Kobayashi.

And so we come to the end of chapter 113, where she returns to work and confesses to liking Takiya too! He is quite stunned (as you can see in the picture) and as much as this is completely dismissed (as is almost all the information in this manga), you can see how much her innocent nature makes her love everyone. And that's very cute. I think that in the right way, they could work out very well in a canonical setting.

Fafiya is my main ship, though. If Elma and Takiya were to stay together, I would prefer polyamory, which is impossible to happen. Even more so in the manga, where Fafnir barely has any stories focused on him or in which he appears at all. The Fafiya moments delivered to us in the anime are completely original, directed by the sadly departed director of Dragon Maid. So it's something to think about.

Chaos Dragon meets Harmony Dragon

Now, I don't ship Fafnir x Elma. They wouldn't work romantically from my perspective, however, they would make great friends! In the manga mostly they have no meaningful interactions, but the spin-off is filled with moments of them and the dynamic is GOLD. Because of the difference in their natures inherited by their factions, the comedy they create fills the scenes with joy and good laughs. They are true opposites communicating; Fafnir with that edgylord aura with a ray of sunshine that is Elma, but who at the same time share one thing in common: ignorance about human topics. The innocence of both of them in that regard is so amusing, it is as if they could understand each other for a moment. If they got on good terms, the polyamor relationship between Takiya, Fafnir and Elma, no matter how much Fafnir and Elma were not romantically involved could work just as well. I have even more pages of their dynamic (which are not few) since there was an entire chapter dedicated to this duo, but unfortunately tumblr has a picture limit.

There isn't a topic for Fafiya because it's pretty obvious why they work and why they are one of the healthiest couples in anime. They are still my OTP and I love them as a couple, although I would like to see them with Elma in an OT3. Takiya is great at dragon taming (no pun intended), so I feel like he would know how to balance his two opposing dragons and put them on good terms without forcing the bar and always giving Fafnir plenty of room. They are dragons, so the prejudice for that kind of relationship is non-existent.

They would still have their challenges, but at the end of the day it's a ship that I really appreciate and wish I could introduce to people.

Thanks for reading!
