Tell us your Eoeris headcanon!
(Also, are you comfortable with nsfw asks?)
Iris started out as Eobard's ideal woman because of her role as Barry's wife, but he's also quite a fan of her work...he's always treasured his copy of Barry's biography, even if he's seen to it that it's become badly outdated. The intimacy and insight she revealed in that work played a large role in his infatuation with both her and Barry.
Iris is one of the few 'mere mortals' that Eobard finds worth the trouble of slowing down for. He usually finds matching his pace to a more mundane frame of reference tedious in the extreme, but Iris' lively (if, in his case, often combative) personality is more than fascinating enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately for Iris, there's nothing sexier to this poor deranged rat of a man than the demonstrable ability to kill him. He thought it was hot when she was just brandishing a gun in his face.
If Iris let him, Eobard would lavish her with gifts. And not just any old gifts...he would raid ancient Babylon and Atlantis, burglarize the crown jewels of a hundred kingdoms, bring her gowns from every era and lay them at her feet. Iris, however, would take to such offerings very poorly and he knows it.
Eobard reacts oddly well to praise, and Iris discovers and exploits this very quickly. She knows that a few murmured words of praise can quickly reduce him to an eager mess, and she exploits it...especially when she's tired of hearing him talk. The man never shuts up.
Cuddling! Iris likes physical affection, and it's a good thing, too--once he's allowed to hold her, Eobard quickly shows a tendency to cling to her like a drowning man finding a life raft. He likes to hold her so tight that she has to remind him that one of them actually needs to breathe and isn't just doing it out of habit.
I'm okay with spicy asks but very explicit ones should be sent to @ftl-faster-than-life-archived so that I don't end up having to move house again.
Thanks for the asks!
