Fate/Chaldea Language HCs

Since Heroic Spirits come with knowledge of languages, Servants in Chaldea all speak their native languages around each other. There’s no need to accommodate when you already know what each other are saying. But some Servants switch back and forth. 

Some Servants that definitely accommodate for Good Reasons are Amakusa, Arash, Arjuna, Artoria, Bedivere, Berserkalot, Chiron, Cu Prototype, Diarmuid, Fergus, Gawain, Gilles de Rais, Holmes, Jeanne, Jekyll, Karna, Martha, Medea, Merlin, Mordred, Munenori, Nero, Rama, Sanson, Vlad III/Zerker, Waver.

Some Servants that accommodate with ulterior motives include Anne & Mary, Columbus, Cu Chulainn, Dantes, Fionn, Ishtar, Hans, Hyde, JAlter, Kiara, Kiyohime, Moriarty, Nitocris, Saberlot, Semiramis, Shakespeare, Stheno, Tamamo-no-Mae, Yan Qing.

Some Servants that definitely don’t accommodate for whatever reason include Beni-Enma, Cu Alter, Edison, Francis Drake, Gilgamesh, Hessian, Ozymandias, Kama, Orion, Tesla, Wu Zetian.

Given that they come with knowledge of languages, most of them probably know sign language. Servants that sign as opposed to talk include… Hessian who has no head and therefore can’t talk. Don’t ask how he can see you signing back to him.

When ‘thinking’ back and forth between Master and Servant, the Master can understand the language that the Servant thinks in.

Though they can fluently speak each other’s languages, Servants do have ‘accents’ in each one. The closest thing to each of their homes as they are today is how the accent would come off. (Sumerian to Iranian, Celtic to Celtic, Japanese to Japanese, Roman to Italian, so on and so forth.)

If you learn a Servant’s native language to communicate with them, you’re either doing the nicest or the dumbest thing ever. You’re not going to learn entire languages in the course of a regular HGW and you’re definitely not going to learn every represented language in Chaldea. Instead, appreciate those that are willing to communicate effectively, because some of them are kind of dicks. (Looking at you, Hessian. I know you’ll swap between types of sign language for shits and giggles.)

Can I request something about Heracles summoned by a master who is skittish or anxious? Maybe they were given a catalyst so they didn't have a choice but to summon him?

I love this idea. Get me with that love for best Berserker.

Neverwinter Nights by Stu_dts

Heracles & Anxious Master

“So,” they say, “You’re Heracles, right?”

He exhales through his nose and meets their gaze.

“It’s an honor to meet you.” They bow their head. “Thank you for answering my family’s summons. I know you probably didn’t have much a choice, but… I’m sorry. You don’t deserve the treatment you’ve received.”

Silence.

They rub the glowing red Command Seals on the back of their hand. “I only sorta know how this Holy Grail War thing works… I have these things now, though.”

He growls between his teeth and his eyes glow red.

“Whoa! I’m not going to use them. I’ll barely be able to keep you out of spirit form. I don’t even want to fight. I’m just taking someone else’s place. Neither of us wants to be here.”

The young magus that summons him in this instance is of an affluent family, but bears weak magical circuits and a short lineage. Their mother is the current matriarch while their father is incapacitated. He is bedridden after angering his servant during summoning. 

Everyone’s heard stories of the tormented Heroic Spirit Heracles. It takes a powerful mage to provide him enough mana, and a stronger one to keep him under control. 

This poor little mage has their father’s Command Seals forced upon them. They’re rightfully terrified of the Berserker. He’s settled in the underground workshop for now, but their family and the local Mage’s Association have all been met with aggression. Sacrificing this kid sounds like a great idea.

The young mage is guided to the workshop by their mother. Berserker is seated cross-legged on the ground. Mother opens the wrought-iron gate to the workshop. He roars at the door at the sight of her. She shoves her child in and slams the gate, giving a tiny finger-wave as she leaves. He quiets once she’s gone.

Master is frozen against the gate, clutching its bars. They stare across the stone room at the servant. Their servant. Their big, scary servant. 

Master shrinks at any startling noises. If Heracles senses a potential disturbance he covers each of their ears, spreading his hand like a claw machine.

Master is uncomfortable around their parents. Heracles refuses to leave their side if they have to see either parent. He stands next to them, silent, glaring at them. The parents are terrified and quickly learn that they are losing control over both the servant and their child.

Heracles absorbs Master’s frustration. if they scream or cry or blame him for the issues in their family, he doesn’t respond. He lets them use him as a verbal punching bag. It doesn’t affect him. It’s uncertain if he knows they need it, but he does a great job of it.

Herc tries to reduces his master’s potential stresses. He carries them on his shoulder a lot. He doesn’t say anything, but he manifests himself when necessary to offer them aid.

When Master is asleep, Herc lets his past creep into their dreams. They get to see his life as a hero and the eventual loss of his family that sent him into madness. Master develops a mighty respect for Berserker, impressed by the restraint and skill he shows despite the madness enhancement. 

The pair develops an understanding. Big Scary Servant protects Meek Master and ensures that their anxieties and fears are crushed beneath his big hands.

Hiya! I'd like to request headcanons of caster gil having a s/o whos pretty short but still has a great body and some servants are always looking/perving at her

My desire to scream at your poor phrasing is overwhelming. “Pretty short but still has a great body” sounds like someone thinks you can’t be short and have a great body. I’m phrasing-shaming you. Accept your transgressions against the phrasing gods. Also, asking an asshole genie for wish-fulfillment was Not The Strat™.

No body types have been specified in the below HCs.

Gilgamesh (Caster) & Others’ Wandering Eyes

To be a king trapped among peasants in the reinforced-steel walls of Chaldea is truly a curse. Poor Gilgamesh has little more than his beloved Master and their army of dead people. Most of those dead people have no respect for the role of the King of Heroes. Truly, this is a fate nearly worse than death.

Aside: He knows he and all other Heroic Spirits are dead, but he wouldn’t assert himself as dead. He’d make sure everyone else knew they were dead, though.

It doesn’t take a wise king to catch on to the foolish ways of the weak. The hungry eyes of unworthy servants linger for too long on his Master’s form. They lick their parched lips as they thirst for the sweet love Master offers. They spread their colorful feathers like peacocks and hoot and howl like apes. He must admit that he would find the sight entertaining if it didn’t infuriate him.

The eyes and hands and lips of others belong nowhere near his most sacred of treasures. That they have the nerve to set foot in the boundaries surrounding his prized possession is appalling. 

In such situations where he cannot drag his lover out of conversations he’s unhappy with, he quietly perch his chin on their head or shoulder while they continue. He will leer into the other party’s face while they speak to his Master without his permission. His patience will not waver, but neither will his command of the situation. 

Should the conversation continue long enough he will transition to more flirtatious or suggestive contact with his partner, silently tracing a finger down their spine or slipping his hand up the back of their shirt. A distraction would likely end the encounter sooner, yes?

Should an individual take their actions too far, the king takes it upon himself to remind them of their place on the floor with the rest of the dirt.

I actually think Gil would make a pretty good dad,not prfect (probably thinks he is) but actually a great one. Can I have some headcanons for that?

☼☼☼

I really like this idea. Gil would make a great dad. Maybe not the most reasonable or practical one, but I can see him being pretty stinkin’ sweet. 

Let’s assume he’s raising a child in his time at some point either during Chaldea or following his adventures with the master of Chaldea.

Participation of the King

Gilgamesh Becoming A Father

A man’s greatest legacy is the mark he leaves behind on the world. Gilgamesh has no shortage of feats that follow his name, all of which he wears proudly. 

After finding someone worthy of his affection, he decides that it would bring him satisfaction to have an heir to continue his work.

Doesn’t want to be called dad or daddy even though it’s his biological child. The word is disrespectful considering his position.

He previously had a physical form in the modern world and has no trouble adapting to it once more. His lover is a magus, and is more than happy to keep him out of spirit form. 

The child has dark hair and bright eyes, the perfect combination of their parents. They are human with no properties as a servant. They are inclined toward mage-craft and learn quickly.

Gil’s child will want for nothing. Any books, toys, or treasures they wish for will be given to them. But Gil will make it clear that this is not with the intention of spoiling, as misbehavior results in those nice things being taken away.

“A ruler must be willing to accept what belongs to them. They will one day have to protect it. You are responsible for your own behavior. Now apologize, and we can go get ice cream.”

Experiences everywhere. He will ensure that his child is filled with opportunities and given the best that life has to offer. 

Education. Dining. Comfort. Living space. Travel. Everything imaginable will be better for his child than any other child ever.

Wants his child to know what they will be inheriting. Introduce them to some of the least-detested servants he fought beside in Chaldea, and takes them to various kingdoms throughout time and history.

Kiddo doesn’t know how to explain that they’re traveling through space and time to their teachers and classmates. It comes out in fanciful stories written during class. The teacher is concerned that Gilgamesh’s child has a wild imagination.

“You’ve done excellent work lately. It’s time to start seeing what your work will turn into. How would you like to visit a royal palace? …Yes, I happen to know a few kings that would love to meet you. Amazing? Tch. They’re nothing compared to where I resided, but I admit they are rather nice.”

When the little one is injured, Gil quietly takes care of them without admitting it makes him feel like a commoner. He tries to dump it off on his lover. It never works. 

Gilgamesh goes hardcore in the Parent Teacher Association. There is no parent more supportive in the PTA and he will casually donate tons of money to organizations supporting his child’s interests. This is at a private institution, too, and he still looks like he’s growing money on trees. 

The child will develop hobbies, and Gil will support them as long as they don’t inconvenience him too much. But if the kid wants to take music lessons, gosh darn it they will complete those lessons and they will practice and they will be the best. 

“Wasted opportunity is wasted time. You can have the entire world if you will it. …You need to learn the fundamentals first. That applies to all things. Now get back to your scales.”

The child will make friends, and Gil will be the coolest dad on the block. House parties, sleepovers, movie nights, whatever is asked of him will be done up better than anyone else could do it.

Gil even goes out of his way to have their manor transformed into a real haunted house during Halloween and allows the entire neighborhood to stop by. The palatial living room is the exit space, and it’s filled with snacks and candy and beverages for kids and adults alike. There’s music and dancing and masquerade and real live horrors.

Has Heroic Spirits stop by to participate in the haunted house in exchange for a reward and attendance at the party. For this he’d demand attendance from the Hassans, King Hassan, Heracles, Semiramis… Anyone with the potential to be disturbing to the general population. (Please imagine Gramps in a costume contest.)

Invites other Heroic Spirits to get Heroic Spir-LIT. Might invite Ozymandias, Enkidu, Nero, Artoria, Karna, Arjuna, Ereshkigal (specifically as a screw-you to Ishtar), Iskandar… Pretty much anyone that he finds tolerable. 

But he’ll accept Heroic Spirits and neighbors coming without invites because it gives him an excuse to brag about how amazing his party is and how lucky his partner and child are.

Gil’s kid loves Halloween.

Gil also throws huge holiday parties for his child and their friends, ensuring that they get to celebrate the pleasures of life. Like wine, and beautiful people, and food, and fun…

In a safe household under parental supervision and excuse me mongrel children can you not touch that it’s worth more than your life!

[novelelitist]

Can I have headcanons of how Gilgamesh would act when his s/o is pregnant? Have a nice day ^^

Dammit I can’t even pretend I don’t think this is possible because of writing what he’s like with his kid.

Participation of the King

Gilgamesh & Pregnant  Significant Other

Gil wasn’t certain if releasing himself inside of you could result in pregnancy, as he’s been dead for thousands of years. With the Holy Grail giving him a permanent physical form it seems reasonable enough. He didn’t consider this a potential outcome of your relationship. While he’s had more than enough sexual encounters for one eternity he can’t think of any children he concerned himself with in life.

He doesn’t think too much about it as his mind is constantly in a million places at once. He is still perplexed by the exact nature of your pregnancy and seeks answers, but what he finds stops at “Blame the Grail.” This is an inadequate explanation but he’ll tolerate it.

Expect nothing but the finest care in the world. You will be waited on hand and foot during your pregnancy. If there is even a hint of trouble it will be resolved by the highest-ranking professionals available. There will be no strange food cravings that go unsatisfied. 

Don’t expect him to be the one to take care of those things. He has people for that. Then again, nobody’s as good at managing things as he is, so expect him to take charge of all pregnancy-related task delegation. 

He’s fascinated by the protrusion from your belly and enjoys how soft the skin is. He contemplates what it must be like to be inside a womb, what it’s like to be at the start of life again. Many nights before bed he will ponder the child’s existence and their thoughts. He’ll run his hands over gently, asserting possession over you and the child.

The closer you get to the due date, the less he wants to be around you. Your behavior is erratic and you’re constantly in pain and experiencing volatile mood swings. He doesn’t trust the professionals with his treasures, though, so he continues to stay by your side. He also doesn’t trust you not to snap on someone else, so he speaks for you in interactions with others. The man makes an excellent BS-buffer.

Honestly he can’t wait for it to be over and for you to go back to normal. Gil pours himself into his responsibilities and takes his hostility out on anyone who will (or won’t, he doesn’t care) listen. Pregnancy is a parasitic relationship between the mother and child where the mother sacrifices so much of herself for this… thing. He hates sharing your body with anyone, even his own child.

oh gosh, I love your headcanons so much... could you do SFW and NSFW headcanons for lancer!cu with a more dominant Master? preferably gender neutral or male reader... thank you!

Haven’t you noticed I almost always write gender-neutral? ;)

Consider the basis for this being rooted in the headcanons I’ve written for his relationships. NSFW under the cut, filthy heathen.

Cu Chulainn (Lancer) Dominant Master + NSFW

If Master wants to wear the pants in this relationship, they’re going to have to fight for them and eventually concede to sharing. As relaxed as he is, Irish Hercules isn’t about that submission life. 

Cu will happily let Master challenge his dominance, not that he’ll ever let them win. They have to earn it. In the time preceding their relationship, forward flirtation and open teasing are fun back-and-forth games between them. 

Kinda cute that his master thinks they can take control, like they forget he’s had his way with countless people before. He exhibits restraint when they toy with him for impure purposes, but appreciates their bluntness. They can get themselves riled up and be stuck with it. Lets them tease themselves, in a way.

The longer they fight side-by-side, the greater respect he develops for Master. They’re together long enough that they both show their softer sides. He becomes willing to waver on his stature to make them happy. It’s never expressed aloud, but they’re important to him. Making them happy brings him joy. Their satisfaction is his.

Master tries to act like the hottest thing since sliced bread. Makes him laugh because he knows they’re not, but their confidence is charming. He’ll pull them into his chest and bury his nose in their hair and mutter about how cute they are when they’re being ridiculous.

Cu makes a point to keep his brazen master grounded in reality: he is a Heroic Spirit, not a slave. Anything he does with them is on his terms with respect to their wishes taken into consideration. If they’re putting pressure on his personal code of conduct, he will cut them off at the source and remind them that he’s far stronger and more experienced than they will ever be.

NSFW with Dominant Master

The battle for dominance is on. Who will crack first under the weight of sexual tension? Answer is probably Master because he’s been around a long fucking time.

Play wrestling counts as foreplay, right? Good, because this lancer loves that shit. Getting hot and bothered in a guaranteed battle of wits and upper-body strength is his jam.

Cu establishes authority early on in his physical relationship with Master. Their attempts at seduction don’t faze him. Nothing breaks his resolve, but he will break theirs into pieces. 

Master thinks that pulling him close to them by his ponytail will get to him. He’ll pull their head back while leaning over them, running his free hand down their chest and tugging them closer by their waistband. 

If Master insists on having him like this, they’re going to accept all of him and no less. Their first encounters involve Master being demoralized. Cu Chulainn leaves them a soaking, sweating mess tangled in the sheets with their own fluids dribbling from their swollen lips. 

Edges them until they’re in actual agony. May or may not let them orgasm, depending on if they earn it by being a good little master.

Learns their body with his fingers and draws a map with his tongue, leaving trails of saliva from their lips down to their quivering thighs. 

They speak out of line and he suffocates their mouth with his. Sinks his teeth into their lower lip and release hot breaths into theirs, forcing them to inhale him and only him.

Sucks on the sensitive skin of their earlobes while letting out low groans that they can’t escape. He’ll moan their name into their neck while thrusting into them, and come up for eye contact when he wants to remind them who they’re being dominated by.

Prefers they know exactly who the master is, so he flips them over and fucks them from behind so he can finish on their rear with his fingertips pressed deep into their hips. If they try to protest this, they get a crisp clap across their ass.

It’s up to Master to set the tone of their relationship after being ravaged.

Bad End A: Master gets angry at the display of disrespect shown by their servant. Cu feels guilty and apologizes, playing it off like it never happened. This isn’t the reaction he expected given their interactions up to this point, so he’s disappointed. Affection lost. 

Bad End B: Master absolutely hates what has occurred and takes it out on their servant. Probably wastes a Command Spell being obstinate and acts with hostility toward him. Cu loses respect for them and cuts off any affection he previously held.

Good End: Master decides they enjoyed submitting to him and it wasn’t as bad as they thought it would be. Cu is entertained. This result is fine by him. He gives them room to be a power-bottom or be a switch with him, but is happy that he gets to maintain status as top dog. 

True End: Master accepts that they have nothing on this guy and surrenders. They confess that they feel like they won’t be able to express their own dominant desires if they continue in a relationship. Cu apologizes for his behavior and agrees that everything from here on out will be mutual. If they want to play out their fantasies, he’ll happily play along. He doesn’t hate submitting, but felt the need to show he’s the alpha in the relationship when in actuality he wants to be equals, partners, and best friends. The communication line is open and they make these choices together moving forward. What a good boy.

emiya archer NSFW headcanons with a fem master? tysm!

Get you a tall glass of water, thirsty girl. 

I procrastinated hard on this one because I wanted to make sure I was certain of how I want to portray Emiya throughout my writing. I’m aiming for consistency in that high-quality characterization grind.

Sorry it took so long. Under the cut to protect virgin eyes and weak hearts.

Fate Stay Night/Archer by hunsay

Emiya (Archer) NSFW

Congratulations, you’ve come into possession of a precious bucket of trauma and anxiety. It’s time for you to step up as a lover and brush up on your aftercare. Emiya needs guidance, patience, and understanding from his lover to reach a point where he can finally be comfortable with himself and another person.

Remember, Archer comes from a timeline similar to the Fate route, where he loved Artoria dearly but was unable to achieve either of their goals in the 5th Fuyuki Holy Grail War. He’s bitter about his life as Shirou Emiya and hardened by the path he chose as a Counter Guardian. It’s not all sunshine and roses.

Total lack of interest in sex, but for your sake he tries his best. 

Emiya doesn’t enjoy being naked. Not in the shower, not in intimacy, not by chance, never. He sees his body as a machine with no value other than its ability to fight. Raised scars are scratched across his skin all over. A disgusting machine serves no purpose in intimacy.

Rarely initiates. He’s nervous of accidentally breaking or hurting his partner, or scaring them away, or causing them to hate him as much as he hates himself.

Sex is a point of frustration and confusion. Emiya is infuriated that his younger self thought love and sex would heal him. He is haunted by flashbacks from Shirou’s life at the worst possible moments, including during intimacy. He’s heard the voice of the girl he loved. He’s imagined sharing himself with the King of Knights and not his partner, and the realization causes him to instantly loses all drive. Guilt weighs so heavily on his shoulders. He loves you so much now, and he wants nothing more than to please you. But he can’t even do that right.

He is a selfless lover, in general. Always wants to treat you with the utmost respect and care. Tender touches. Feathery kisses. Teasing and laughter. Eye-contact. Strong embraces. Brushing noses. Passionate movements. Positions that allow him the best access to be as deep inside you as possible. 

Not a man of many words, and prefers to let his actions express what he’s feeling. He enjoys slow, sticky kisses and tracing the curvature of your face with his nose.

Loves giving head. Would keep his mouth between your thighs forever if you let him, and would be content to only breathe in the scent of your sweat and fluids the rest of his life.

Closest positions possible. He likes having you in his lap with his legs crossed and you straddling his waist. It makes him feel strong, and he gets to hug you. 

Unfortunately, given that sex triggers pent up negative emotions in Emiya, darkness is known to sometimes take over in intimacy. The hatred and fury and guilt and self-loathing win out over his rational mind. This leads to selfish, commanding, and rough motions. 

Will pin you down with force and flip you into impersonal positions. From behind, against the wall, anything he can’t see your face in. 

Biting your skin and dragging his nails down it, gripping you roughly and smacking your ass as hard as he can. He’ll demand you scream for him and never be satisfied by the volume.

He dissociates, forgetting entirely that you are a person existing with him in the present and not a figment of his imagination taunting him the way it did for so many years. Once he realizes what’s going on he is once again pushed into guilt.

When things go south with Emiya during intimacy, he retracts immediately and is exceedingly apologetic. He buries himself in the blankets and stares at the wall, taken by his troubles. The man thinks himself a faker, unworthy of love and respect and kindness. There’s no purpose to being in a relationship with him when all he does is kill people and come home to fail you. It’s a vicious, filthy cycle that suffocates him day in and day out. He doesn’t want this life. He doesn’t want you to have this life. 

As his partner, it’s your duty to remind him that you know love won’t heal his wounds. Friendship and communication, though, will put him on the right track to someday finding peace. You don’t love him any less. You know he has a Reality Marble’s worth of wounds to heal. So you prepare him his favorite tea, turn on the bedside lamp, and lay beside him in the quiet as he drifts off into his thoughts.

What if a reincarnated Guinevere summoned Artoria? Or ran into her during the 5th war when she's out with Shirou or something?

In case you’ve never watched the original Broadway musical Camelot, I strongly advise you do. That shit is phenomenal. Here’s a song I like from it. V related for this.

King Arthur (Source*)

Artoria Seeing Guinevere in Modern Fuyuki

It can’t possibly be you. But I believe that it is. It’s been centuries. I recognize your features so wholly. You haven’t changed. 

I wonder why you grin at me. Do you recognize me as well?

The man holding your arm–Sir Lancelot? It must be. I see… You’re living the life of a woman, the one you sacrificed to stay by my side. He look at you with such warmth. Had I never made my two closest friends smile that way?

All that Camelot asked of me is nothing compared to what I asked of you. The tears I brought you, and those that were in turn passed to Sir Lancelot, bred the flowers at my grave. Their growth is the blessing of your love and the curse of the sorrow I gave in return. 

For each night you cried to your pillow, for each that Sir Lancelot clutched his chest, I desperately wished an answer. I wanted nothing more than to bring you both joy.

I apologize for turning away. When your eyes met mine I felt so confused. Catching your smile from this distance, my heart flutters.

Sir Lancelot has his sights on the crosswalk. He guides you across the street, his back upright as I remember him. His expression is so subtle. I believe I see the happiness that serving me could never bring. He’s saying something to you. I cannot hear it, but you are laughing. 

Guinevere… Even as Camelot fell, you performed each responsibility required of you. Though you never raised a sword, you fought in Camelot’s most dangerous battle. Your role could never be overestimated. 

I want to rush over to you and say something, but I have no clue what to say. I wish to hug you both and thank you for your service.

The two of you… Your loyalty is not forgotten. Thank you for all you’ve done.
