been reading a lot of agere fics for inspo reasons lately and theres one minor trope that surprises me bc. why are they all watering down their juice. i would never....
little ashley and caregiver leon ꒰ 🍓 hcs below . .
their relationship exists largely between text messages given their circumstances but on the rare occasion ashley can spend the night over at leons he’s got a stash of things for her in his spare room which has basically become ‘the girls room’ , it’s got little bits for ada, sherry, helena, ashley, and grace.
ashley has the most toys, all of the other girls are mostly readers or playing video games when they’re small but ashley loves playing with toys. she’s got a whole bin for her doll and such and a dedicated, organized drawer with her smaller toys like lps && calicos.
ashley enjoys nice smells and soft things so leon has her preferred lotions and perfumes in the cabinet under the sink. she’s also got one of those hooded towels that has cat ears.
ashley is definitely the most ‘kidish’ when she’s small, some of the other girls you might not even notice they’re little unless they tell you but grace and ashley are always pretty noticeably tiny.
leon has to give her screen time limits because she’ll play her games late into the night and gets very cranky when tired. it’s also really common that she’ll want to call one of the other girls to ‘play’ with her which really just means she’ll prop the phone up in her dollhouse and expects to be watched cooed at every once in awhile.
(cg/s) aeon + (little) grace ashcroft headcanons
anon don't worry.... i will literally find any excuse to talk about them. they're everythinggggg to me. i <3 found family. etc. a lot of these refer back to my prexisting headcanons for them too. read below the cut!!
(1) leon + ada + grace
grace was a bit of a latchkey kid growing up, so she usually fine with regressing alone, unless it's triggered by her nightmares. leon initially finds out about her regression after a severe panic attack, and soon after, ada starts coming along to help take care of her too.
over time, after lots and lots of reassurance and encouragement, grace starts regressing around them voluntarily. sometimes just being around them makes her slip, because she trusts them so so so much, and they're that much of a comfort to her.
sometimes neither of them will be available when she's small, so one of their first gifts for her were two build a bear teddies, with pre-recorded messages for her to listen to when she's upset. they have matching outfits, made out of fabrics that wouldn't upset grace's sensory issues, courtesy of ada's fine eye for BAB clothing.
(2) ada + grace
grace is such a mama's girl, and ada loves nothing more than spoiling her with as many gifts as she can. teddy bears, comfy blankets, new video games, anything grace could ever need or want.
ada's more likely than leon to try and enforce any rules, but she's very lenient about how they're followed. grace needs to be tucked into bed at a normal time, yes, but she can watch a movie or read a book if she can't sleep.
ada loves giving grace little makeovers… styling her hair, painting her nails all different colors, doing those silly animal themed sheet masks together, all of it. sometimes they even rope leon into it, and he'll end up with glittery pink nails and a cinnamoroll face mask on.
on grace's bad nights, ada usually reads to her; typically non-fiction books, or something that alyssa would read to her as a child. she doesn't always want to be held when she's upset, but ada always makes sure to sit close by, as an unspoken reassurance that she isn't alone.
her favorite nicknames for grace are darling and sweetheart, and if she's feeling teeny-tiny, kitty cat. grace usually calls her mama, much to her own embarrassment early on.
(3) leon + grace
while ada is better at recognizing grace's emotions, leon is better equipped at handling them. he's a very straightforward person, which grace appreciates, because it makes it easier for her to understand just how he feels about something. if she's ever embarrassed about being small, he's always quick to tell her that there's nothing to be ashamed of.
leon runs as hot as a furnace, while grace runs perpetually cold, so she loves taking naps with him. ada regularly comes home to find both of them on the couch, snoring away in the warmth of the afternoon sun.
on the rare occasion that grace leaves the house while small, she always hides herself behind leon, using him as a human shield from the rest of the world. if she's really anxious, he'll give her his jacket to wear. it's warm, smells like him, and massively oversized on her, so she can basically hide underneath it.
grace is trying her very hardest to get him into playing video games, sometimes just handing him her nintendo switch with zero context. he's pretty good at puzzle games, like poyo poyo tetris and katamari, but he's utterly hopeless at mario kart. grace's favorite games are pokémon and pikmin.
his favorite nicknames for grace are gracie, kid and kiddo. grace initially only calls him leon, but over time she starts calling him dad as well, especially when she's upset.
(caregivers) leon s. kennedy / ada wong + (little) grace ashcroft moodboard
i have soooo many thoughts about them.....capcom hurry up with that dlc before i write it myself.
i think leon's nicknames for grace would be pretty simple, like gracie or kiddo, things her mom used to call her as a kid. ada's would be a lot soppier, her favorite is darling, but she's also partial to sweetheart, and on days where grace is feeling teeny-tiny, kitty-cat.
angsty aeon + hunnigan where ada regresses involuntarily in the field after a huge explosion that triggers a cptsd response. she’s immediately very weary of leon even though some logical part of her brain knows he’s safe so leon has hunnigan speak to her instead as a last resort to calming her down and getting her somewhere safe…
ada ends up responding well to ingrids calm instructions, refuses to give leon his headset back so she can keep talking to hunnigan, and this is how ingrid winds up as adas primary cg whereas leon is the babysitter she trusts but definitely not as much as mama
the way i know ms ashley graham would have the biggest sylvanian families collection… she’ll send a photo to leon like “this is you” and its a photo of a tiny little toy labrador
flip4flip aeon is forever on my mind… i like to think that ada regresses more often, much to her chagrin, but leon usually goes younger. he’s like a puppy who wants to go outside and play, while she’s a little kitten who just wants to lay in the warmth of the sun…
