I'm thrilled that so many of you have submitted requests for stories and headcanons! I've enjoyed writing each and every one of them, and I am grateful that so many of you choose to stick around and support my work through reblogs, likes, and comments!
With that being said,
I am temporarily closing my inbox requests currently for headcanons/stories. I have 6 requests to complete and do not want to get overwhelmed with reqs! In addition to that, I am also working on my Outlast Trials OC.
So in short, YES, I will be re-opening story/headcanon requests. I do not have a time frame for when that may be, but as soon as I complete the current requests, I will announce the re-opening.
Again, thank you so much for the continued support and I will keep working hard to fulfill every idea you all have!
Indeedy-do! On a side note, I think the tiny grunts have hilarious voice lines. Sorry this is a short one. I'm just now getting back into the swing of things on here!
Franco Barbi With A Grunt Reader
You weren't a prime asset. You weren't in the spotlight.. at least to the reagents.
To Franco, you were a superstar. The way you'd hack-n-slash at the reagents was beautiful. It was like you were performing a dance you'd done many times before.
You weren't the happiest ex-pop. You were damned to the program from an unfortunate series of events in your life.
Sometimes Franco would be herding the reagents towards your locations just to get a glimpse at your grace.
Now, meeting up with this goofball within trials can be difficult considering Easterman is always watching.
When you were able to meet up with him, you guys were always lovey-dovey.
I'm currently recovering from a pretty debilitating back injury of some sort which has left me mostly unable to do anything due to it being excruciatingly painful when I move. I will try to slowly work through my last four requests, so I haven't forgotten about them!
Thank you for the patience and I will be back soon!
Please, consider Franco noticing a reader who is like a mama duck with baby reagents 🙏🏻 She takes it slow with them and instructs them on what to do. Reader even praises them when they get something done and covers up for them in times of need! Thank you!
Aww, that's a really precious idea! I swear I'm gonna cook on this one! I had a lot of fun with this one so I made it into a little oneshot!
Franco Barbi Noticing A Guiding Reader
You were in a quad group, being paired up with 3 other reagents. Every time you saw the state of the other reagents before the trial, you took pity on them.
It turns out that the reagents you were paired up with were relatively new and inexperienced. This would be a bit challenging as you usually did trials solo or with similarly skilled reagents. So after a rocky shuttle ride, the trial began, forcing everyone to get a move on.
You were at the docks, also known as Franco Barbi's territory. You exited the revolving pods and stepped out, waiting until your team came through. You instinctively took the lead, motioning for the others to crouch and move forward.
After watching Franco's introduction in the trial, the other 3 reagents were shell-shocked. You sympathetically gazed at them before softly speaking out. "Hey you guys, everything is gonna be alright. Follow me and we can get through this together!" They nervously followed you to the room with the drug cooker, hoping that you'd keep your word.
You got your rig prepared along with some bricks you picked up along the way. You asked if any one of the others would like to pull the lever, to which one of them slowly pulled it down. You encouraged them, giving them a smile. "We're gonna be getting the drug parcels into the cooker. We can form an assembly line to get in done quickly!"
As you progressed through the trial with your newfound ducklings, you'd give them little tips and tricks. Little did you know, as you were leading the group around the train depot, a certain somebody was starstruck, watching you from above. Franco was sitting down, dangling his legs off the co-op long jump ledge, making goo-goo eyes at you.
So, what did Franco do? He stole some poor deceased reagents' clothes and played dress up. Sliding into the back of the line, he turned each of the other reagents around and scared them off with his Lupara. Once you stopped and turned around, you noticed there was only one "reagent" following.
You were completely oblivious to the whole thing as Franco had gone behind the scenes and got the original trio to follow you again. The little princely manbaby was extremely pleased with his shenanigans and definitely made plans to do it again when you came around once more..
Hii! Every single one of your Franco posts is just *chefs kiss* 👌 can I please request calming him down from a tantrum? Thank you 💕
Ooh, yes! I apologize that this one is a bit short, but I think it's a very sweet ask!! I hope you enjoy!
Franco Barbi Getting Calmed Down From A Tantrum
Typically when he has an outburst or tantrum, you try to redirect and allow him to tell you why he's frustrated and then you guys do an activity together.
Usually you're persistent on that, but if he absolutely refuses, you may get a little stern with him and force him to be in his baby mode.
You know he'll feel a bit sorry if you demand he comes and stand before you as if you were judge, jury, and executioner.
You put on the stern facade and then tickle attack him! He can't be upset if he's smiling.
If you're able to get him to talk it out while he sits in your lap, he'll be more than happy to drink from his bottle and cool that little temper of his.
You and him will spend the next couple of hours just relaxing and you'll end up doing things for him
His factory reset button might be picking him up in a hug and squeezing him super tight for a couple of seconds.
All in all, Franco isn't too difficult to get to calm down, unless something triggers his specific childhood traumas.
Can we get UHHH Franco x furry reader pls pls I need him to validate me for wanting paws grrrr
Absolutely, hehe! I hope this turned out okay! I feel like if you had a human/animal hybrid OC this would also apply! I hope you like this, Ro!
Franco Barbi With A Furry Reader
Now listen, I think Franco would low-key LOVE nuzzling into your paws; they're big, soft, and fluffy. What more could a baby boy ask for?
If you've got a tail, he'll watch it for hours. Seeing it sway, wiggle, or flick back and forth is so hypnotic for him. He might even try to bat at your tail like he does with his mobile in his crib!
Franco loves scratching the base or backs of your ears! He loves to sit next to you and have you sprawl out and stretch on top of his legs.
He'll squish your nose and make a little honking sound. He'll be sure to give it little smooches!
If you've got a full suit of fur so to speak, he'll help you brush it out to keep in nice and tidy.
If you've got large stompers, Franco is amazed at how much larger it is than any footprint he's ever seen.
I'm sorry if this sounds too spicy since idk if you write NSFW :( Could I get headcanons of Franco reacting to his partner not wanting to humiliate him and hurt him when they have a first time and instead of that they treat him lovingly?
Ooh, of course! I do write NSFW even if it's not too good! This one is a bit different from the original ask, but I still hope you enjoy it!
Franco Barbi With A Loving First-Timer
Franco had wanted you to be downright mean. Of course, he wanted it, but you just couldn't give it to him.
You felt guilty and horrible for not having that sinister bone in your body. Voicing your concern to Franco took some courage, but you finally were able to do it.
You approached the big manbaby while he was reading in his big fancy recliner. Your voice came out a bit shaky from the nerves, "Hey honey? Can we talk?"
He looked up from his paper, looking up at you with an eager-to-please expression. You talked to him for about 3 minutes and you began to ramble your worries to him.
Franco shushed you and pulled you into his lap. He just sat there and hugged you before he had the both of you talk about it.
Then later when you had your first time with him, you held him as if he were a feather floating in the wind. Gently caressing him with an adoration, passion, and intimacy you had never felt before.
can i get hcs for franco with a reader in the trials that like, 'falls for' francos baby act and like, scolds another reagent for hitting him with smth?
Absolutely! I hope you enjoy anon!! I also hope this was up to your expectations, and if you've got any more stuff, feel free to send ideas!
Franco Barbi With A Protective Reader
Much to your disappointment, you were paired up with a trio to make a full group of 4. Typically, you'd do stuff solo or with your favorite reagent buddy, but apparently luck was not in your favor today.
Once you were in the trial, you took one gaze at Franco and you were head over heels. The fact you found him adorable was concerning, but maybe it was one of the many reasons you ended up in Sinyala.
You felt a strong maternal/paternal urge to protect and nurture the not-so-little man.
It was time to fill up the cart in the train depot, and you were fully armed with 3 bottles and your decoder. You heard some of the other reagents talking smack about Franco, so you turned around and gave them a look of disapproval.
You had went off on your own before you heard Franco yelling at the rest of your group. You went to the upstairs part, looking over the edge of the co-op long jump.
"HEY!" You bellowed from above, glaring down the other reagents. They turned their heads before you shouted back down, "LEAVE. THAT. LITTLE. BABY. ALONE." You drew a bottle from your hip that contained the bottles. Aiming for the reagents below, you reeled your arm back before sending it whizzing through the air, hitting one on the back of the head with the bottle shattering.
Franco was captivated with you since that moment, and you were able to get pretty close to him which was scary in retrospect, but you somehow fell for this mafia man.
This one is a bit angsty, I hope you don't mind 👉🏻👈🏻 Can you do Franco finding reader sitting on a corner during a trial? She is taking unsteady breaths because of this heart condition she has that causes a very unpleasant ache on her chest, and it won't allow her to move without whimpering due to the pain. Thanks 🩷🩷🩷
I like this idea a lot hehe! I think I did a little bit of angst + comfort, but I hope you enjoy it! I've been thinking about writing him a bit more canonly but I'm not too sure about that yet! Thank you for requesting, angsty anon!
Franco Barbi With A Reader Who Has A Heart Condition
The trial had been going great until it felt like your heart was enveloped in an aching grasp.
You sat in a dark corner in one of the boat storage rooms near the beginning of the docks in the trial "Poison The Medicine".
You were scratching and clutching at your chest, whimpering and groaning as you threw your head back against the wood.
The pain seemed to travel to whatever limb you attempted to move, so you had to stay in your pitiful state of whimpering and curling around yourself.
You would've been fine to sit there until you could move again, but the door at the opposite end of the shack-looking room opened as none other than Franco Barbi walked in aiming his Lupara around the room.
You stayed curled up, involuntarily shivering and trembling as you whimpered and groaned softly. The steps towards you got louder, and you covered the sides of your head with your elbows.
Franco seemed to be hellbent on searching the room for you, rummaging through the lockers and stand-up cabinets. Surely enough he nearly didn't notice you, but he tripped and stumbled over one of your feet that was slightly sticking out of the corner.
"Well lookie what we got here!" Franco exclaimed, grabbing you by the back of your shirt, lifting you up. You cried out from the pain, clawing at your heart.
Tears pricked at the corner of your eyes, the pain overwhelming your senses. He quickly realized that you were having a flare up, and he rushed the both of you to his office; the one that had the decapitated big female grunt.
Franco got a tissue for him to wipe your eyes with, hoping you wouldn't start crying because it would make the condition worse. "S-Shit! I'm so sorry, sugar! I'm gonna take care-o' you, okay doll?" All you could do was weakly nod as he'd spend the rest of the day staying by your side and assisting you with everything until you felt better.
Hello! I have read some of your Franco Barbi fics and I absolutely LOVE how you write him! May I drop a request? Something about Franco obessing over a nurse reader who is very sweet and gentle when she is on patching up duty after trials are over for the day even if she is more than a bit shy :-) I'm not sure if you have written something similar already, so please let me know if you have! Thank you so much! 🩷
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I love this idea so much and it's such a cute concept! Thank you for requesting and let me know if there's any other requests I can fulfill!
Franco Barbi With A Nurse Reader
You've been working at Sinyala for a long time. Your job was mostly simple at face value: Nurse all the expops back to health when they get injured.
Now, you'd be there since the beginning when they started with Gooseberry, Coyle, and the others who weren't prime assets.
When Franco arrived, you were told to be extremely cautious, especially with his track record. You figured it'd be fine since you were pretty shy and considerate when you cared for everyone else.
On the first day you were tasked to patch up Franco, he was making goo-goo eyes at you the whole time. You tried to ignore it and play it off.. until he started speaking.
He immediately got you flustered and all shy when he said, "Hey, suga'~" Your face reddened and your eyes averted to the floor, nervously chewing the inside of your cheek as you patched him up.
Every move you made was gentle and careful, treating him like porcelain. You'd always explain or announce what you were doing/about to do.
Franco would make his comments and you'd have to step away to the cabinets in the room for a moment with your back to him to take some breaths before returning to your work.
You finished your duty that day, and thought about the interesting encounter. After this, he would regularly be seen by you just like the rest of the expops.
However, you'd find it perplexing when he came to you everyday with wounds in certain places or ones that required longer attention.
Little did you know, Franco would get into trouble or injure himself just so you'd spend more time in particular areas or to spend longer with you.
His behavior and comments were always tolerable, and you didn't mind dealing with the embarrassment or flustered feeling he brought you. Sometimes you'd have nice conversation with him despite him derailing it with a compliment.
Someday you'd return the compliments if you ever spoke up loud enough for him to hear.
Hi! Could I please request Franco with a reader is lowkey terrified of him? I love your work!
Oooh, yes! I hope this is a good one! I also see where it could be interpreted where Franco and Reader are together but Reader is often uncomfortable/terrified. Let me know if that's more of what you meant or have another request!
Franco Barbi With A Terrified Reader
Franco loves it when people are scared of him. He always says, "You're pretty when you're scared~."
He'll always tease you and taunt you, sometimes going into detail about the grotesque things he'd do to you. You often would run or creep away as fast as you could to save yourself from a heart attack.
When he crouches down, he tries to quiet his otherwise noisy breathing to be able to hear where you may be hiding.
Of course he's always been known to play with his food.
BONUS:
You had just entered into the "Poison The Medicine" trial. No matter how many times you did this trial, it never got any easier. You were carefully creeping around the trial, making sure you weren't spotted by anything. You were often overly cautious in making sure to save your own skin.
You made your strongest attempt to stay in the dark, hoping no one could see you. You managed to evade the sight of the littler grunts and the big grunts. However, you were a fool to think you could run from Bambino and his Lupara.
You pushed the cart down the tracks, arriving at the station to refill it. After grabbing the first parcel, you held your breath as the wire gate retracted upwards. Taking an unsteady step forth, you began to run to your left into the train car, but not before Franco spotted you.
The color drained from your face as you scrambled to hoist yourself the rest of the way onto the ledge of the wood floor in the train car. Franco yelled, "Lemme show you somethin'!" He ran after you, his breathing picking up. You darted through the train car, eyes wide and watering. You twisted and turned yourself through the train depot, the tears in your eyes obscuring your vision.
Your palms were on fire, your breath was ragged, and the adrenaline made your heartbeat thump loudly in your ears. You crawled into a barrel, yet in your panicked state, you made too much noise as you nearly knock the barrel over. Of course, Franco heard this and he wasn't far off from where you were.
You quickly hopped out of it, truly sending it to the ground this time. You locked eyes with Franco through your night-vision goggles you had flicked down over your eyes. It struck fear through your heart and you froze, your whole body trembling. Crawling across the cold concrete, tears began to run down your face as you curled up against the brick wall.
If only this was a nightmare you could wake up from..
enabler anon again. i see youve written two of my requests. you have gained the favor of my bloodline & i, my children, and my childrens children will protect you in your direst of times for this service (it was really good tysm)
Heyo enabler anon!! Hehe thank you for the bloodline favor, and I'm glad you like it! If you ever have any other requests or ideas you'd like written out, you know where to find me! Also sorry I'm pretty late on this, still wanted to respond to it! Thank you so much for the support!
I'M SORRY IF THIS SOUNDS CRINGE 😭 Could I request headcanons of Franco and the reader being married?
Not cringe at all! This is such a wholesome and cute idea! I apologize if this is short or a bit meh, but I love this idea and concept!
Franco Barbi Being Married To Reader
No matter how old both of you are, I feel like the dynamic would be classic old couple except not many arguments. There's obviously his whole baby mode, but when you're both just neutral, I think he'd be so kind to you, maybe a little mouthy sometimes just due to him having a bad day with the mob.
He'd love to treat you to nice dinners, maybe not at a restaurant all the time, but even at home too! He likes to help you bake sometimes as long as you pull up a chair for him.
Dancing to a record player or phonograph would be on point for both of you. I feel like he low-key picked up dance moves from Cuba, even if he doesn't do them well.
When you guys have an argument, he might be pouting for a while, but you guys joke around a lot with each other, so no hard feelings usually!
You sometimes offer to help him with his paperwork, which he usually won't let you, but he'll want to sit on your lap while working.
You both still will participate in his freaky side, and it's of course incorporated into daily life.
I feel like depending on what universe you're in, things will either be super sweet or semi toxic, but gosh he's an angel in his own right.
Hii! Could I request the reader pampering Franco? :>
Of course! Thank you for requesting! :D I have a couple other stories too that offer similar headcanons or oneshots too! This one is a tad short, so I apologize for that!
Franco Barbi Being Pampered By Reader
Franco is always needy for your attention, so pampering him will get him so giddy and happy.
You'd literally do anything and everything for Franco when you're in the mood to pamper him. Make him snacks? Absolutely. Read him a story? Of course. Dress him in his favorite jammies? Anything for the prince.
Going off of what I said above, you'd literally be treating him like a king for a day. He wouldn't have to lift his Lupara or his lil' fingers. Maybe you'd even put one of those paper burger king crowns on him.
Now, Franco could potentially get a little sassy, so be prepared to keep him in check since you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart and your love or care for him.
Handle this baby with care, because even though he would adore being the center of your attention, you gotta use your intuition with him so you're not asking him 500 questions. Maybe at the end of the day, buy him a special figurine or something just because!
Howdy! I got pulled into the outlast trials rabbit hole. And I was wondering if I could ask for reader reagent x Franco Barbi but it’s the prime time events where reader is also coming across Coyle/futterman (either written is fine!).
With Franco being like a semi monitor on readers’ actions, chaos ensues. Your work is great! Love seeing it :)
Of course! Thank you for requesting, and thank you for the compliments! I do aim to please I suppose! I hope this is what you were asking for, but if not, shoot me another request! Now that I think about it, maybe you were hoping for a more canon/actual Franco behavior in the trials..
Franco Barbi Monitoring Reader (+ Gooseberry & Dr. Futterman)
Yet another typical and bland day with you doing the usual run of the trials. The first one you were thrown into was "Foster The Orphans" which was one that went by fast on a good day.
Tuning the radios never took long, however, you kept running into blocked doors that were bolted with the yellow metal. Unbeknownst to you, Franco had been following you around the trial like a sneaky rat. He would crouch down in the shadows, similar to the night hunter in order to watch you while you were in the light.
Of course, Franco would come out and terrorize you with his Lupara, but he'd never actually shoot you with it, just maybe shoot towards your heels. If he were in close enough range to you, he's just tap you with the butt of his shotgun playfully. You've noticed that whenever you're scheduled for a trial that has Franco and Mother Gooseberry, Franco barely makes his sexual remarks towards her.
You were on the last radio for the trial as you suddenly heard Mother Gooseberry say, "There they are, Daddy!" You booked it down the hallway, hurriedly vaulting over anything in your way. The sirens of the double doors flashed as the metal opened up, revealing none other than your darling Franco. Typically, this would be a good thing, but your brain was working overtime and you were stressed.
Mother Gooseberry was making Dr. Futterman knock aggressively on the door, and Franco had just jumped through a window and completely broken it to shattered pieces. You yelped as some of the glass hit your face, causing the two of them to close in on your exact location in the room.
And then, there was chaos. You screamed in terror, bursting past Mother Gooseberry to run out of the room. She swung downwards as you ran out, barely missing you. Franco turned around, barely seeing you scamper out the door. Gooseberry was first out the door, running after you, and Franco decided to go "cut you off" as he put it to Gooseberry.
After nearly having a heart attack from running away from Gooseberry, you had found a dark area to hide in to catch your breath. However, Franco had other ideas. You were about to walk through the opening to the larger room before a big pair of blues walked out and said, "Peek-a-boo." You fell backwards, your legs giving out after having just run for multiple minutes. Franco snickered lightly before he walked over and bopped you atop the head with his Lupara gently.
You let out a large breath of relief, getting back to your feet and smiling at him. He gave you a hug before running to the nearest metal Murkoff doors, leaving you to catch your breath and process what just happened in the last few minutes.
