The evolution of Dolls waking up Wynonna.

Headcanon for high school, normal world au Wyndolls pretty please?

I have like a million ideas for this bc I love them so here’s one version lol :P 

Wynonna’s lived in Purgatory all her life and is a social outcast thanks to accidentally shooting her drunk dad dead in an effort to save her younger sister Waverly from his abuse. Xavier “Call me Dolls” is a transfer student who is a social outcast bc he’s a black American man now living in what appears to be a pretty conservative small town. They meet freshman year, and do not get along right away because Dolls’ straight A, sports star vibe cramps her straight-to-detention, rebel child style. Despite the mutual skepticism, they quickly become best friends after Dolls stands up for her to a group of hockey jerks and she punches the ringleader on Dolls’ behalf in response to a racist comment. 

Throughout the years, they grow closer. Wynonna opens up to him about how her older sister Willa’s kidnapping has affected her, and Dolls confides in her about the pressures of growing up an orphan adopted into a rigid military family. Wynonna swallows her pride over being “too cool for school” and cheers him on at sports games, and he supports her through several ill-fated hookups/situationships with guys that, if you ask him, are not nearly good enough for her....not that he likes her or anything.

The two of them never make it to junior prom. Instead, they spend the evening watching the stars at the Homestead and joking about which teacher chaperone has been forced to lead the funky chicken. There’s a moment where she leans in and he brushes her hair behind her ear and they almost kiss, but then Gus is calling Wynonna’s name and Dolls has curfew and the moment disappears. 

By senior year, they’ve acquired a few more members of their ragtag team. Wynonna’s younger sister Waverly follows them around as much as possible, claiming it’s because she needs Dolls to tutor her in calculus. After a school-wide sexting scandal destroys her popularity, rich-girl-gone-bad Mercedes latches onto Wynonna. Dolls brings a fellow military brat and sports star named Nicole into the fray (Wynonna is only jealous for like, half a second until she finds out the girl is gay) and eventually Wynonna’s chemistry lab partner Jeremy Chetri joins as well. What Wynonna and Dolls don’t know is that every member of their weird gang is positive that they are meant for one another and are constantly meddling to make it so. 

A few weeks out of graduation, they have a massive fight over Wynonna deciding to run off to Europe to get away from it all. Dolls was under the impression it was just going to be a gap year, but Wynonna admits she’s not sure she’ll ever come back to Purgatory. Hurt, Dolls reveals he got into an American university, but was planning to reject it because he didn’t want to leave her behind. Guilty, Wynonna tells him he should go because there isn't anything between them. They go their separate ways after graduation, and are separated for the next five years (though obviously still pining). That is, until Waverly secretly invites Dolls to her and Nicole’s wedding where Wynonna is the maid of honor...

Can confirm wyndolls was literally most the Earper fandoms fav ship with wynonna, he was so perfect for her, and I’m sorry you feel that way about WE, I really wish there could be more positive rep and you can vent if you want. And I just wanted to say at the start I thought because Shamier wanted a “heroic ending” that it was fine but now I really just wish he’d been recasted. Hopefully in future seasons we’ll see change

This is extremely kind & validating, thank you! I want to point out that Dolls’ arc was problematic in many ways before his character was killed off, and there are problematic elements in the way other characters of color and their stories are written, such as Moody, Jeremy, Rosita, Mattie, Kate, and the Indigenous woman who turned into a bear in the cult episode (what a wild time that was). Even background characters aren’t immune to it; one example that comes to mind is that moment in S3 where Wynonna said “namaste” to her Asian waitress. Granted, the show has had writing problems beyond that (such as that date r*pe joke Wynonna made in S3) but I find the racism so pervasive and consistent that it seems less like it’s unintentional and more like they don't care to change as long as the ratings stay stable. :( 

As far as whether Shamier should have been recast, I always refer to an amazing post by @weathersbywebseriesreviews​ as to how he could have “left” the show in a heroic fashion while also keeping Dolls alive and well.

Dolls working on assignment meets Wynonna in Greece before she’s the heir AU

Yeeeeeeees *cries* This is basically gonna be a fanfic synopsis so enjoy:

Dolls is in Greece investigating a minotaur incident for Black Badge. Wynonna, due to her eternal bad luck and habit of getting dragged into supernatural trouble no matter how much she tries to stay out of it, ends up becoming a vital witness when the girl most recently attacked by said minotaur turns out to be the girl she karaoke-d with at the Dionysus Bar just hours before her demise (listen, that ouzo was bomb and who was she to pass up a duet to “Goodbye Earl”?)

Suspicious of Dolls–partially because he’s law enforcement and partially because she’s in a foreign country and you can’t trust strange men from America–Wynonna lies at first and tells him her name is Aphrodite. (There may have been a statue nearby. No it wasn’t her finest moment). 

At one point they get chased by the minotaur, and Wynonna loses the necklace she has just bought at the local market. The necklace means a lot to her because it symbolizes a fresh start: she’s not in Purgatory anymore, she has the freedom to own things and enjoy life and be a person instead of her history and–well, you get it. 

Throughout the experience, Waverly keeps blowing up Wynonna’s phone, but she ignores the calls/texts. Dolls awkwardly asks about it but Wynonna refuses to speak on the matter. Eventually they get drunk together and Wynonna semi-explains her past (not mentioning the whole heir/shooting her dad/demons thing) and Dolls advises her to give building a relationship with her sister a chance. There’s some gazing into each other’s eyes and an almost kiss and all that good slow burn stuff

After the whole minotaur thing is settled and Wynonna is checking out of her hostel (off to London), the front desk says she has something waiting for her. It’s her necklace, wrapped in a napkin from the bar that has a note written on it: 

To Aphrodite: you’re amazing. Hope we meet again. -X. 

Aaaaaand let’s just go out on a limb and say when Dolls shows up in Purgatory years later once she’s officially the heir things pick up right where they left off ;)

Wynonna and Dolls raising baby Alice AU

Yes thank you! I hate what the show has become & refuse to watch it but Wyndolls lives on in my heart.

Alice’s first word is “Mama” and even though Dolls pretends to be jealous he secretly spent weeks repeating it over and over again hoping Alice would catch on because he knew how much it would mean to Wynonna

Dolls likes to sing Alice to sleep and Wynonna always hides outside the door to watch because she loves it so much

Wynonna is afraid that she won’t know how to be a hands-on mom, but she actually loves doing all the stereotypical junk like squealing over her first steps and having toddler Alice make a handprint clay ornament for Doc for Christmas and helping her with her 3rd grade history project about the war of 1837 (she always was great with dioramas). It makes her feel normal in a way she never has, and somehow still like she’s the most special person in the world. 

HOWever, Wynonna can’t cook/bake for heck so Dolls has to handle the bake sale and ”make a French dish for French class” situations and he is phenomenal at it 

Waverly and Nicole want Alice to be their flower girl for their wedding, but on the big day she refuses to walk down the aisle. Wynonna is giving Waverly away, so Dolls has to temporarily abandon his post as Nicole’s best man to hold his daughter’s hand and coax her to throw a flower petal every few steps. It’s adorable and precious and yeah

10 Song Ask for Wyndolls and Dot/Hugh from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

Gonna do these separately soooo first my faves:

 WYNDOLLS

A song they would slow dance to: “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton

A song they sing along to in the car: “Confessions Pt II” by Usher 

A song that neither one can listen to after a fight/breakup: “That Song That We Used to Make Love To” by Carrie Underwood 

A song that Person A hates but Person B loves: Wynonna likes to play “Going Down For Real” by Flo Rida at top volume even though Dolls thinks its juvenile trash

The songs they would serenade each other with at karaoke: Wynonna loves her some karaoke and would sing “Dirrty” by Christina Aguilera, whereas Dolls would have to take a couple shots before he serenades her with D’Angelo’s “Lady”

A song Person A would sing in the shower while Person B listens in: Dolls sings a lot of Boyz II Men, particularly “Ladies Man” and “Benefit of a Fool”. Wynonna loooooooves it. 

A song with lyrics that perfectly describe their relationship: “Friends Don’t” By Maddie & Tae because they were NEVER “just friends” and always have had chemistry/feelings aaaaand “Good to You” by Marianas Trench because YES

A song that would play during a love scene between them: “Better” by Khalid!!!

A song that relates to an inside joke between them: During day two of a stakeout, Wynonna realized she’d forgotten to put her laundry in the dryer before they’d left and started quietly singing “I’m just a kid and life is a NIGHTmare…” only to have Dolls be like, “Hey, I know that song. “I’m Just a Kid” by Simple Plan, right?” and now whenever things suck more then usual one or both of them sing that one line. (YES this is a reference to Shamier’s tweet)

A song that relates to an AU I’ve created in my head involving this pair: “One Number Away” by Luke Combs. So, Dolls and Wynonna have a fight about neither one of them being brave enough to DTR. Dolls leaves and gets reassigned to a new town on the U.S East Coast. Both of them miss the h*ll out of each other but are too prideful to say it. Every night, Dolls fights the urge to call Wynonna up and apologize for leaving. Very angsty.

you know those ships that when you see them you just feel like someone punched you in the gut??

5, 18, 22 for Wynonna and Dolls

5. Nicknames? Pet names? Any in-jokes?

For nicknames…does “Earp” count? 

I like to think they call each other “love” and “baby” in private, and Dolls will affectionately refer to Wynonna as “Mama” when talking to Alice (ex. “Mama’s going to be home soon, Ally Bear.”) 

SO MANY IN JOKES. Dolls waltzing with the lady vampire (ex. “Watch out for Kate, vibes like hers get your blood pumping”), Wynonna’s glee at his firebreathing = jokes about barbecues and things “heating up” on a case, sarcastic mourning for Nicole’s stetson, that time that they had sex against the Purgatory town sign = “we stretched more than just the city limits, didn’t we?” 

18. What are their dates like? How long do/did they date? Do they ever feel the need to take a break from each other?

Dates are awkward bc they don’t really know how to leave their work behind; it’s not just a regular office job. Classic dates are late night take-out, drinking at the bar, long walks around town, or just sitting in the car at night in a wide open field so they can see the stars and have quiet talks. 

They date until death. I don’t wanna talk about that further. 

They might need breaks when things get really hard but they never stop having each others’ backs, and even when things are painful and bitter and stressful they never become cruel. 

22. Does their work ever interfere with the relationship?

LOL WHAT DO YOU THINK

There’s always the classic trust issues with one of them keeping secrets, especially work secrets, bc now it has more than just a professional cast over it. They never have much quiet time. It’s hard to plan for more than just a few weeks ahead bc they never know what’s going to happen next. 

But honestly, the dragon and the curse and the creature-hunting are just part of who they are, and what their relationship is, and it adds a lot too. 

[disaster-wlw]

He’s actually gone

I thought he was going to come back but Shamier done an interview. This is actually the end of the line for Dolls. My heart is so broken.

Cute Wyndolls Headcanons

They’re the best at cuddling and it makes getting up in the morning super hard for Dolls (getting up has always been hard for Wynonna but now it’s pretty much impossible) 

Wynonna knows it’s serious when Dolls has a cup of coffee waiting for her when she arrives at the station because that coffee machine is evil and both of them suck at figuring out how to turn it on

Those leather pants of Wynonna’s become a wardrobe staple once Dolls institutes Casual Fridays at work and he can’t say that wasn't 100% totally his plan all along 

Nicole refuses to let them spar/practice combat alone because she’s walked in on the steamy aftermath one too many times (to be fair both have interrupted her & Waverly about a billion times but STILL) 

Wynonna stops drinking so much because the buzz she gets when they make eye contact is somehow so much better (she doesn't quit completely though because come on)

When Dolls is sent on a special mission solo for two weeks, Wynonna takes a cue from Waverly’s cheerleading stunt and orders a Cardinals jersey to wear (with nothing else) to welcome him home properly...

Waverly is the one who officially asks him to move in because “you wash dishes/shovel snow/take out the trash half the time so you might as well just live here.” On the official day, she presents him with a very thoughtful gift basket that includes a brand-new toothbrush, a bath towel, a Christmas stocking, and his own key

Jeremy spends a lot of time on those face-merger sites and often texts the group chat with new images of what a Wyndolls baby would look like (spoilers: IT WOULD BE THE CUTEST). 

*trying to inject some positivity into the tag*

**also our children are adorable**
