the dangerous fellows boys and an mc that takes care of their younger sibling during the apocalypse
long title but fun concept ! it’s been a while since I’ve played, but I hope everything is correct — that said, this also contains spoilers 💃 requested by @sydisticsyd
* just a reminder, I don’t normally take df requests! I’ve moved on from the game, and this was a special case where I wanted to do something nice. ty <3
Ethan:
- There’s a long-running headcanon that he has younger siblings — most notably a sister if I’m remembering right, so in this case, so will you!
- when he saves you from a zombie in that convenience store the first time he meets you, the last thing he expects is for you to push a smaller child into his arms as you run.
- he immediately recognises her as your sister by the similar features you share, but her assumed age throws him off. looking around 5, she behaves extremely well under pressure, though that he can at least wrap his head around more than the fact that you’ve been holding out all of this time.
- his own instinct as an older brother makes him more defensive towards Scarlett and her absolute need to send you away. Scarlett doesn’t care much about Ethan’s opposition, obviously, but he does all he can.
- your shared affinity for family made it easy for you to bond from then on. you became a duo that worked well and stuck together, all while of course looking after your sister, who had begun to trust Ethan as if he really was her brother.
Harry:
- As an only child with problems at home, seeing such an obviously strong bond between you and your sibling warms his heart. even seeing you interact makes him incredibly happy
- He fights Scarlett 10x harder knowing that there are two lives on the line, and Scarlett, while mean, is not heartless — his point of views appeal to her. But, it’s arguably solely him that gets her on your side
- You grow close naturally after he stands up for you for fervently, and you really appreciate how gentle he is with your sister. in the middle of an apocalypse, you naturally have to be wary of any other survivors around her.
- He willingly gives up parts of his own rations to make sure she’s full every meal, and keeps her entertained to the best of his ability. In a way, it’s his way of having the company he never got? plus, he totally loves kids and you can’t tell me otherwise lol
Eugene:
- Probably hates kids tbh, but!! he’s not heartless. they rescued you both from being killed by zombies, and they’ll keep you safe. That’s basically a given, especially when there’s a kid at your side.
- The last thing Eugene wants is to see the poor girl more traumatised than she probably already is, after all.
- he’s not amazing with kids so he won’t exactly go out of his way to be nice, or spend time with them, but being close to you means it’s a sacrifice he has to make I guess?? I think he’d do it. I can imagine that your sister notices his reluctance though lolol
- regardless, they’d become quite close as time goes on ! in an environment like that, it would really help to limit rocky relationships. plus, you can’t tell me that the boy wouldn’t get a little bit attached to you both after a while-
- Eugene’s like a doting older brother when it comes to her, all while retaining his signature tsundere vibe with everyone but you. they have a handshake and she likes to ride on his shoulders !!
Zion:
- before you come along, he basically hates everything and trusts no one 😭 but even the big brood cares about how a kid sees him. he’s a bit sympathetic to your younger brother (in this case) because while he himself may have not had a great childhood, he can barely imagine living through an apocalypse at such a formative age.
- the issue of you being cast aside once you’re rescued is pretty much non-existent, what with Zion’s views and Scarlett’s suck-up ways. No one can really argue once she’s put in her place by the only person she listens to, after all.
- he’d honestly try his hardest from the get-go to be there for your brother, of course with your support and all of that. I can imagine he’d be a little shy to ask this to you, someone who’s essentially a stranger, but you’d both come to appreciate it.
- Zion is actually surprisingly good with kids. he’d find ways to keep your brother entertained that are still apocalypse friendly, to the point where your brother would be almost glued to his side — though, it’s situational if that would bother you, really.
- if your brother wanted to room with Zion, he would totally give up his blanket for the kid 😭💕 maybe even let him read some of the comics he stole from the library?
Lawrence:
- shit, can he kill with a child around? 🤔 much to think about. and would he have to eventually kill your brother too?? maybe he’s in over his head.
- no but I really do think that if you as a player had a younger sibling by your side over being alone,,, it would lessen the chances of Lawrence deciding to go absolutely insane. he has to respect the child, and also your inborn wish for your brother to stay alive lol
- Lawrence is kind of shaken by the development, but he would definitely try his best to get close to him while he can, though. of course, all while being kind and supportive and being loose on particular rules with him so he gets a good impression in
- but kids are perceptive when they want to be, so don’t tell me that your brother wouldn’t get bad vibes from Lawrence even after all that stuff 😐 he would know right after Judy disappears that Lawrence is up to some sneaky shit
- an extra candy bar and fake sweetness won’t pass him lol
- would Lawrence think about killing your brother if he were in fact that smart? no. it would be a liability, but the entire point if his killing spree in the first place is to keep you with him. there’s no way you’d ever want anything to do with him if he killed one of the only people you have left. and even if he did manage to pull that off, it’d arguably make you more miserable than when he kills all your friends
Hello! May I request a hc for the dangerous fellows boys of an mc who gets into an accident that causes them to lose their eyesight (permanently or temporarily I’ll let you decide). Thanks a bunch! 😊
im the queen of responding to asks 😞 also i chose to just do Ethan, Zion, and Lawrence for this one~
⚠️ tw for blood and severe injuries to the eye
Ethan:
- in this case, I’ll go with temporary blindness!
- you’re partnered up with Ethan on a patrol one night, and suddenly out of nowhere, a bright light on the school front aimed at you suddenly switches on (maybe lawrence wanted to try eliminating Ethan but caught you instead? 👀)
- this happens, and all you can see is dots in your vision. understandably, this scares you as you’re out in the dark and there are zombies around (plus the light attracts them!!) so you immediately yell out for Ethan
- it’s dumb, but the fastest way to get his attention and hopefully get out of there
- thankfully, it does work out that way, and Ethan comes rushing over to you as soon as he hears you. He’s worried to see you standing so unnaturally still, but you only briefly explain before pushing him to end the patrol early
- you still can’t see very well, so when you get to the top of the stairs inside the building, you literally collapse with tears of relief in your eyes. Ethan spends telge next few minutes comforting you until your eyesight is back properly.
Zion:
- god I just fucking realised he calls the mc kid, just like the nickname hawks uses 😩 idk how to feel about that shdhsjsj
- but ~anyway~
- “kid? ____?! what happened?”
- after a night patrol, you encounter some zombies alone, and have a struggle with them that ends up with one of them forcing your blow back onto yourself.
- The pipe in your hands comes barrelling back to you, and lands right on top of one of your closed eyes.
- by the time you escape and run into zion on the top floor of the school, it’s turned into a black eye and is bleeding considerably. you cover it as you see him, not wanting to freak him out. though, when you start crying, it still tips him off that something horrible has happened.
- it hurts badly enough that your tears muffle any words you can manage out, and by the time you actually agree to move your hand that’s covering it, you swear you see Zion’s soul leave his body for a second.
- he’s immediately cradling your face to get a better look, and the look in his eyes is so tender that the pain almost vanishes for a second.
- Zion rushes you back to the main room, and doesn’t listen to anyone around you as he looks for the right supplies to make you more comfortable. This inevitably puts him in a bad mood towards everyone but you.
- he insists that you stay in his room until you heal if you need anything. Scarlett and Lawrence try to veto this, but no one else thinks it’s a bad idea, so it happens
- and eventually, it does heal, but your eyelashes that were ripped out along with the blood that was cleaned never grow back. your eye also doesn’t fully open all of the way — rendering you almost fully blind in that eye.
Lawrence:
- bold of you to assume Lawrence would even let you go blind 🤡
- I’m kidding kind of
- I picture this as happening during his ending, when it’s only just the two of you, and you hurt your eyes by trying to escape. I don’t know the circumstances, but let’s just say something pierces your eyes on accident
- you try to hide it from him as long as you can.
- with the remaining time you can still see, you clean yourself up, and also just don’t respond to why you aren’t opening your eyes. he doesn’t deserve to know anyway.
- he at least assume as much and doesn’t question it more than he needs to. but, it’s kind of hard to hide that you’ve gone blind. muscle memory can only go so far in a new place.
- so, eventually, Lawrence puts the pieces together and confronts you about it, and you have no choice but to admit it — that you think you’ve gone blind.
- surprisingly, as much as I dislike Lawrence, I doubt that this scenario would have him in his yandere personality. I think that he would nicely help you places, and also care for you in a bit more of a gentle way
- ofc that’s not to say he wouldn’t use this to his advantage more. he’d place things in plain sight just to see if you were lying to him, or try and gaslight you into believing that he was your only way to surivive now.
Hello! I hope you’re doing well and being safe during covid. May I request a headcanon for the fellows of an mc who gets very sick? Thank you and stay safe!
hello anon! I hope you’re staying safe and doing well too, especially with the sudden start of the school season :) also, I’m just going to assume that you mean sick with the virus for this post!
Ethan:
- this would undoubtedly stress him tf out
- he’s a very careful person, and this would obviously transfer over to aspects of the pandemic — he’d never be seen outside without a mask, would use hand sanitiser regularly, and social distance as much as possible
- not to say that you wouldn’t, but especially in a situation like this, sometimes getting sick is just inevitable
- there’s not much he can do safely, but when you tell him that you’ve tested positive for the virus, he would still make every effort possible to make your life a little better in your time of need
- daily calls, sitting below your bedroom window, bringing your favourite takeout to your door — things like that
- your relationship won’t suffer because of this, and he’ll be sure of that
Harry:
- he went with you to be tested, and while you both laughed about how weird the test felt to get done, you weren’t laughing anymore when the person told you that you had tested positive
- harry would be immediately apologetic, even though he really doesn’t have any reason to be
- due to his test coming up negative, he was required to self quarantine for two weeks before getting tested again, and to be wary of any symptoms
- so basically, you’re in this together? as much as you can be, anyway.
- while he wouldn’t be able to see you physically, I think FaceTime would be your go-to for communication. that way, if you’re hurting in some way, he can be at least be there with you through the screen
- he might cry to see you in pain :(
- he’d go a more effortless way of giving you things considering his self-quarantine, and would postmate pretty much anything to your door if he felt like it
- you would wake up to random texts and then find a box of chocolate covered strawberries on your doorstep, like???? it’s 9am sir what—
Eugene:
- the moment you tell him over the phone, he’d want you to be tested again. there’s no way that the person he loves has gotten a life-threatening virus, it’s just not possible
- might be internally denying the situation for a bit, but would drop it pretty quickly when you confirm that you caught it anyway. he doesn’t want to make the situation any more stressful for you than it already is
- when he sees you going through the symptoms with his own eyes over FaceTime, he finally realises what’s at stake and is scared. there hasn’t ever been a day that he considered a world without you, and now that a future like that isn’t completely impossible, he doesn’t know what to do
- though, his methods of comfort are odd, they’re very characteristic
- would offer to kick the virus’ ass for you
- also, he would write songs for you! maybe just to cheer you up, but also to satisfy his thoughts and desire to see you healthy again
Lawrence:
- he never freaks out in front of you, but you can almost visualise the blood draining from his face as you talk to him over the phone that day
- this would hit him very hard. not being able to see you is something that makes him really restless, especially when knows that you’re sick. he just wants to take car of you and make you’re safe, but he can’t :(
- he would try to cheer you and himself up by making you homemade treats and leaving them on your doorstep, and would probably stand at a distance to see you receive them. it’s the only way he can, after all
- Lawrence would definitely send you care packages. you know those cute colour-themed ones, where every item in the basket is or correlates to a certain colour? think of that but with your favourite colour, he’d definitely send you at least a few
- you might tell him that you don’t need him to get you stuff (the treats, care packages, etc, bc we know there’d be more from this extra mf) but he would literally insist. the only scenario I could see him stopping is if you were genuinely uncomfortable with it or it just made you feel bad, but, I think in this case it’d be hard to, since it’s obvious how much attention and love he’s putting into everything
Zion:
- similarly to the rest of the guys, he’d be crushed to know that you’d gotten sick. you’re a careful person, and it was shitty luck that you happened to be on the receiving end of the virus.
- it would make him super anxious and worried, and though he might let that get the best of him occasionally, he’s mostly good in restraining himself
- he would probably try to make as much light of the situation as possible, like joking that some politician should have gotten it instead just to hear your little laugh. it’s important to him that you’re at least happy sometimes, because this virus definitely won’t take you from him — at least not if he has anything to say about it
- he’d be the guy to throw spare change at your window in the middle of the day just to get your attention, rather than texting you or something because that’s boring 🤷🏼♀️ he IS spicing up self quarantine and there’s nothing you can do to stop him
- then he’d throw up something with terrible aim that happens to be more medicine or just a little gift like chapstick, your favourite candy bar, or something miscellaneous
- would try all he can to make you feel normal. he would still play video games with you and insult you over the headset, and send you random memes along with daily checkups
Hello! Can I request a Scarlett's Head Cannon with an MC that is tired of always fighting and decided to try to be friends, like every time it is her turn to look for the food that the military gives in the safe area, she brings more of Scarlett's favorite snacks and no matter how mean Scarlett is to her, she's always there trying. úwù (also if you could write it as if it happens in the end where everyone survives please)
- nights are the worst part of the apocalypse, you think. it’s still and silent enough to hear the faint groan of zombies outside the stadium, but, it’s also quiet enough that thoughts run rampant.
- a common topic of your nightly inner tirade is Scarlett, whether it be about something that she did to you that day or something she said. however, one night, you’re just tired of it.
- there are more important things to do than fight with someone that barely knows you, much less in such a desperate situation.
- so you try to turn it around with all of your heart, maybe so you can actually settle the insane hatred that she seems to have for you.
- you ask Zion about things she likes, knowing that they were acquainted before the apocalypse, and try slipping things into conversations. maybe icebreakers or jokes to break the mood — it’s as good a way to start as any.
- “so, are you into fashion at all? you were definitely lucky coming into the apocalypse wearing something like that.”
- “I really like boba, but I hate that i haven’t had it in months. we should ask someone from the military if there’s any around, what do you say?”
- scarlett’s mostly bitter to your advances, giving short and snippish responses at first. but, at the very least, each time you try to talk to her, she seems less and less reluctant.
- the meals the military gives out also aren’t excempt from your attempts. every time the guys give you the job of rounding up food for everyone, you think back to all the times that Scarlett’s been excited to get a certain snack or good, and try your best to find that.
- eventually, I see her confronting you about it.
- “why the hell are you being so nice to me, anyway?”
- you don’t really have to answer, but you do.
- “because I decided that I’m tired of fighting.”
- she’s stunned by your straight forward answer, and from then on, is a bit shy in insulting you like before. they’ll seem so half hearted, that even Zion has a hard time ignoring it.
- and then one day, she thanks you as you hand her the mandated dinner, and everyone’s jaws drop to the ground.
- it’s by no means a quick process — Scarlett is traumatised by what’s happened in the apocalypse: losing half of the group she called home to zombies, living without knowing what would happen next — and letting someone completely new into her life just wasn’t an option at the time you arrived. but now, she eventually can see that there’s no reason to taunt you anymore. you’ve made it clear that you’re not there to hurt her, nor are you weak enough to die off so quickly.
- after a while, it’s completely possible that depending on how you play it, you and her would become inseparable.
Hello! I love to read your writing and my favorites are the ones from DangerousFellows. So, I was wondering if I can have a headcanon for the fellows of an MC who has a prosthetic leg or arm? Thank you!
hi!! thank you anon, I haven’t written a dangerous fellows request in a long time, so this was fun to get! though before I start, I want to say that while I did a bit of research on prosthetic limbs beforehand, I myself am able bodied so I apologise if I get anything wrong or offend anyone mistakenly.
—
Ethan:
- As an athlete, I’d say he sees the most prosthetic legs out of the guys
- but in an apocalypse? you’re definitely the only one, and honestly in his opinion, you’ve lived against the odds
- there are tons of additional things that you need to worry about with a prosthetic leg, and he’s kind of proud of you for making it so far while at such a clear disadvantage
- though of course, silent Ethan lol, won’t voice this apart from a few rare times and his normal kind gestures
Eugene:
- he’d take one look at your prosthetic arm and immediately not be able to take his eyes off of it. ofc, not in a rude way or anything, but the way you choose to take that would be up to you entirely. I just feel like that’s how he would initially react
- he’d gain a level of respect for you that wasn’t there for the original mc, but even he doesn’t really know what for. for making it so far? for being able to live with something like that? whatever it is, it certainly makes him a little softer than he was in the game at first.
- over time, seeing you in action impresses him
- he might shyly ask you a few questions about it occasionally, just out of pure curiosity. was it hard to learn to use your prosthetic? is it hard to do things like drive? just innocent but random questions like that
Zion:
- honestly, barely even comments on your arm apart from a few separate times
- he doesn’t wanna draw too much attention to it in case you don’t like it, because he knows that some stories of amputees can be brutal
- but when he does acknowledge it, it’s usually jokingly taunting you like “you sure you can run with that leg of yours?” and you still beat him in a race anyway smh
- he just doesn’t want you to feel like it’s unnatural or anything like that, or become self conscious over something that’s just a part of you
Harry:
- would be careful with you, not to offend you or anything, but just because he kind of doesn’t know what to do lol
- he would help you with anything regarding your leg if you needed it — such as cleaning it or checking that everything is still functioning well. wouldn’t want anything to break in the middle of an apocalypse T-T
- he’s really respectful of the fact that you wear it and still manage to be the badass person you are tbh
- he doesn’t know if he could do that, even if you make it look easy. that respect shows in his actions occasionally and its the purest thing
Lawrence:
- concerned boyfriend asf???? mc?? do you need help???
- sometimes he’s so cautious about your prosthetic leg that you laugh at him. you used to thank him for it at first, but now if he’s biting his nails over you doing something like going down the stairs you’ll just laugh at him
- he doesn’t even really see it normally, and it’s honestly just there when he wants to see it or the situation is genuinely dangerous
- but every single one of his concerns are still meant out of love, I promise lol
- he’d probably bend over backward to somehow find a new prosthetic leg if yours broke 😭 he’d probably even find one somehow tbh lmao
[4:16AM] The stars that hang in the night sky outside your window remind you of his eyes.
With tired limbs the weight of lead, the thin comforter over your body does little to accommodate the growing warmth in your chest. You make no bother to change your situation, though, rather letting the feeling envelop you completely.
Because a single person is responsible for such a minute yet effective change.
From beneath the foggy haze of your thoughts, a memory gradually rises. Whimsical wisteria trees hang leisurely over your head in the frame, fluttering loosely through the echo of wind in your mind.
Harry stands next to you, his expression calm as he drawls on about something your memory doesn’t focus on. Instead, you find your attention centred on his clear eyes -- they reflect the sky in them, exhibiting the passion of the universe in the form of his soft words.
The crystalline image reflects only one thing: you are irrevocably in love with the boy in front of you. A more comfortable heat settles on your cheeks as an unabashed smile pokes at your lips, the only ones there to witness your sudden movement being the moon and the cat curled up by your side. The other side of your bed, regrettably, has yet to be filled -- for now.
Your mind drifts back to earlier that night, sticking on the image of Harry laughing across from you in a restaurant. Of Harry trying only silly accessories in stores you’d dragged him into. Of the soft kiss left on the top of your head before you had walked inside.
A curious hand reaches up to dab at the phantom sense stemming at the roots of your hair. As if you concentrate hard enough, you can pull up the feeling of lips on your skin once again.
@kittyplaysandcries it may not be a full fic but inspiration hit and I had to write something about your post either way ^^
—
You hate it.
You hate reliving the same cruel fate again and again, and even to your best efforts, make it out alive with only one person every single time. Like a bad dream, it gives you no choice over who you save; but yet still, no matter who’s hand you take on the long road to the safe zone, your guilt remains the same.
Repeatedly, you witness their deaths. Each are different yet alike in their sudden state of stagnicity, all-too sudden for your picky preference of people close to you staying alive. Whether they’re eaten, drowned in a mob, or plainly disappear; you know that it’s final no matter who’s saved in the end.
At least, for that run it is.
In the nights you toss and turn with unrest, you use the sick yet familiar comparison of your unique situation and a standard video game. It seems to make sense, restarting a level if you fail to do it correctly, except, this is no video game. The scent of blood is too riveting, the fear too realistic, and the fact that you only have one standard life instead of the magical three too disappointing — it all says clear as day that the nightmare you’re stuck in is very much real, and there’s no doubt about it.
The last person you have the chance to save, regretfully, is Eugene. The moody blonde you’d managed to hold a strong friendship with in every single trial of your survival, the moody blonde that you’ve seen die multiple times in multiple ways — you feel immense joy when you arrive at the safe zone with him in one piece.
But, then again like clockwork, you wake up in the school again. Judy is asleep next to you, and you feel the bleak tears stinging your eyes for what feels like the hundredth time, because you’ve been here before. You’ve seen her peaceful expression while in slumber before, and you’ve seen her frightened expression when being dragged away too many times before, even if it had only been once. Once is too many.
It feels like too much.
Happiness seems hard out of reach, and for a few minutes, you’re scared to get back on your feet.
And yet, though you are a finger’s distance away from giving up, there is something about this particular time that makes you hold ground. You may have never been able to fully figure out why the school bell went off when it did, nor who or what was behind it, but it seems like things are clearer in more ways than one this time.
You want to think it’s because your mind is sharper after so many times of running through the same backhanded story, but deep down, you know it’s not true; you’re non the wiser. Though, it seems like someone is the opposite. Lawrence, your beloved leader and the last person you’d ever expected to have a hand in your misfortune, becomes oddly suspicious. The actions and words you’d previously disregarded now stick out to you like a sore thumb, and when you finally figure out the plot of your indefinite story, you’re ashamed that you’ve let him slip by unscathed so many times.
Then, things change. Small moments at first, such as words, or meeting topics, but soon it’s entire events. Events that would have gotten people killed vanish from existence altogether, and much to your relief, leave that person alive and well. You cling onto this, perhaps foolishly, but it’s the best bet you have; the best opportunity towards a happy ending that you can yet see in the distance.
And once you do see it, you grasp it in a tight fist.
Lawrence is discovered to be the one behind everything as you’d since thought, though, unlike what you had initially predicted, the boys aren’t mad at their leader. They don’t even so much as turn up their noses at the plot, rather settling for a good punch before telling him that he would be dead meat if ever tried to hurt them again. Lawrence only laughs and calls them idiots, but still takes Zion’s outstretched hand with little reluctance.
There may be truth to Lawrence’s words, but you don’t voice it.
Because soon, thanks to Lawrence, Ethan is the happiest you’ve ever seen him. Zion and Eugene finally look like teenage boys again. Harry is talking peacefully with Lawrence, presumably about what had happened at the school. Jay and Scarlett are with Hailey and Sue as they eat the food that the military has graciously provided to survivors. And you — you’re with Judy, your friend who, this time, is very much alive. Every single one of you is alive, finally safe from the creatures that had once plagued your life like an incurable disease. But your hope is not far ahead of dread.
You don’t want things to repeat again. You wish desperately for the nightmare to finally be over, but the knot in your stomach never unwinds.
Then you wake up the next morning. Your eyes are heavy with sleep as per usual, and to your initial horror, Judy is asleep with the same peaceful expression. But your eyes adjust to the safe zone tent around you and over your head, the feeling that washes over you so powerful that you almost weep.
The title of survivor is one you’d kept as long as you kept your humanity, but it means something different to you now. Because this is reality, and finally, you are truly living in it as you had always wished.
