Morning Doodle: Genya laid a hand over hers. “We’ve made the sedative as strong as possible,” she said. “But we don’t really understand what we’re trying to control. Zoya, you may not be safe with him.” Zoya knew that better than anyone. She’d seen the horror that lurked inside Nikolai too closely to deny it. “What would you suggest I do?” To Zoya’s surprise, Genya said, “I could go.” David pressed his lips into a hard line, and Zoya knew that they’d discussed it, that Genya meant it.

Morning Doodle: Zoya peered at the tiny bottle Genya handed her. It was fitted with a glass stopper. “Is this enough?” “More than enough,” said Genya. “Give him one drop immediately before sleep, a second if you have any trouble. Any more than that and there’s a good chance you’ll kill him.” “Good to know. Regicide isn’t on my list of preferred crimes.” Genya’s lips twitched in a smile. “You’re saying you’ve never wanted to kill Nikolai?” “Oh, I have. I just don’t want him to sleep through it.” (Leigh Bardugo's King of Scars CH 11)

Forehead touches for Kanej because it's one of the things that I hc they would be partial to <3

"Two of the deadliest people the Barrel had to offer and they could barely touch each other without both of them keeling over. But they tried. He tried. Maybe they could try again."

Unpopular opinion but I would love to see, in future grishaverse books, Kanej without any type of physical intimacy.

I think there's a really good opportunity here for representation of relationships without physical touch that is severely lacking in media. Kanej is already spectacular for representation, and a really good base for furthering that representation via headcanons. But I would love to see this, in particular, be canon.

Physical touch seems to be the most popular love language in media, and the basis for most of the relationships portrayed. And as someone who doesn't want any kind of physical touch or intimacy in my relationship I would love to see some kind of representation for that ... and also just high key ... sick of seeing people kissing on TV, but I digress.

And I know they both have desires for some kind of physical relationship, and I definitely don't want them to avoid it because of their traumas because I want them to heal together and all that. But they can heal without submitting to the traditional romantic standards of kissing and holding hands and all that ... other stuff.

They're already unconventional and unbeholden to societal standards of affection and love ... why not take it a step further?
