Hihi! I was wondering if I could request Phainon, Mydei, aventurine , and Boothill would be like with an s/o that’s a singer? Kinda like Laufey. And maybe a/o writes a song about them?

The Garden of Life in Okhema had always been quiet when you arrived, a haven of fluttering butterflies and curious chimeras. Today, however, the stillness was a canvas for your music. Sitting on a stone bench beneath the canopy of luminescent blossoms, you let the first notes drift into the air—a soft, warm tune that seemed to cradle the light filtering through the leaves.
Phainon found you there, a gentle shadow among the dancing petals. His cyan-blue eyes softened at the sight of you, hair catching the sunlight like spun silver. He didn’t announce himself; he never did, preferring to step into moments as naturally as dawn rises.
“You’re… singing?” His voice was low, steady, a contrast to the delicate melody you conjured.
You smiled without turning, letting your fingers trace the edge of your notebook. “I was… thinking. About someone.”
Phainon took a careful step closer, boots silent on the stone path. Even as a warrior, he approached you as though every movement mattered less than respecting this moment.
“And someone in particular?” His tone carried warmth, curiosity woven with a touch of mirth.
“Maybe.” You laughed softly, almost a whisper. “Someone who reminds me of sunrise… and fire. Someone who carries a world in his hands and still makes it feel gentle.”
Phainon’s gaze lingered on you, and for a moment, the weight of centuries, of prophecy, of battles fought and lives lost, seemed to melt into the sunlit space between you. He stepped closer, resting one hand lightly on the back of the bench. “A dangerous compliment,” he said. “To be compared to fire.”
“And you’re…” You hesitated, unsure whether to finish the thought. “…not just fire. You’re the dawn itself. You rise even when everything burns.”
His lips quirked into the faintest smile, an expression rarely seen by the world. “Then I must be careful not to let the dawn blind those around me.”
You hummed a note that lingered in the air like mist over water. Your song formed in your mind—not lyrics yet, just colors and textures. The verses were the warmth of his hand brushing against yours, the chorus the steady rhythm of his heart, the bridge the quiet sorrow behind his smile. Every chord mirrored a glance, every pause carried his presence.
“Phainon,” you murmured, looking up at him. “This song… it’s yours. Not in words, but in everything I feel when I think of you. The strength. The kindness. The weight of what you carry, and yet…” Your fingers lifted from the notebook, gesturing toward the garden. “…you let life bloom around you anyway.”
He knelt beside you, so close that you could see the golden mark hidden beneath his choker—the sun of Worldbearing, faintly glowing. “I’ve never heard anyone sing the dawn,” he admitted softly. “Not like this.”
You leaned into him, your voice almost silent, carrying the song only your hearts could hear. “And I’ll keep singing it… for you. Until the world burns, and beyond that too.”
Phainon’s hand found yours, thumb brushing the side of your knuckles. “Then perhaps my legend isn’t just in battles,” he whispered, “but in these moments you make eternal.”
The garden seemed to lean closer, butterflies pausing mid-flight, chimeras tilting their heads in quiet reverence. Your song didn’t need words to tell him everything. It was a living thing—soft yet unbreakable, just like him.
In the heart of Okhema, your private chamber overlooked a garden bathed in amber sunlight. Mydei had arrived without knocking, as he often did—an unspoken understanding that some doors didn’t need formalities. The golden-haired warrior leaned casually against the doorway, cape draping like molten silk, golden eyes curious yet careful.
“You’re singing again,” he said, voice a low resonance that seemed to vibrate through the air.
You smiled, letting the strings of your instrument hum beneath your fingers. “I can’t help it. Some thoughts… some people… deserve their own music.”
Mydei stepped into the room, boots soft on the polished floor. “And some people deserve to be sung about even if they don’t ask for it.”
“That’s exactly it,” you murmured, letting your fingers linger over the instrument. “The song isn’t just about what they do, or how they fight… it’s about how they exist. The quiet bravery no one sees, the choices they make that shape worlds. That’s who this is for.”
Mydei’s eyes softened. “I’m not usually… the type to inspire songs.”
You tilted your head, looking up at him. “You’re wrong. You inspire entire worlds with the way you hold yourself. With the way you choose to stand when everything threatens to fall.”
His lips pressed together, a rare hint of vulnerability. “Then I’ll listen,” he said. “Tell me this song in your way.”
And you did, letting the melody rise and fall around him, wrapping the room in warmth. It was a song built from glimmers—golden sunlight in his hair, the rhythm of his heartbeat as he moved, the quiet strength of hands that had held and lost and rebuilt. It spoke of patience and storms, of moments of tenderness that no one chronicled, of laughter amidst chaos.
“I can hear it,” Mydei said quietly, standing closer, allowing your music to fold around him. “Even without words, it’s… me. And yet… more than me.”
“It’s how I see you,” you admitted. “The part of you only someone watching closely can understand. And I want you to know… every note is yours. Every pause is yours. Every breath of it is because you exist.”
He knelt beside you, placing a hand over yours. “Then perhaps you see what even I cannot… the weight I carry, and how it can be golden, not just heavy.”
Your eyes met, and in that moment, the song crystallized—not a sequence of notes on a page, but a living, breathing testament to him. Mydei, the prince who had endured oceans of strife, was now the quiet centerpiece of your melody. And you knew, as long as you could sing, that your music would keep him alive in ways even battles could not.
The suite smelled faintly of cedar and old parchment, a single lamp casting a golden halo over Aventurine’s meticulous chaos. You perched on the edge of a velvet chaise, notebook in hand, observing him. His hair was slightly disheveled, eyes shifting as he toyed with a coin in one hand, spinning it absentmindedly.
“You’re writing again,” he remarked, tilting his head, his smile playful but unreadable.
“I’m… thinking of you,” you admitted. “But not in words exactly. More… like a song. A melody that tries to catch who you are, even if it never fully can.”
He raised a brow, intrigued. “A song about me? Bold, considering my… colorful reputation.”
“You’re not a story of luck or chance,” you said softly. “You’re a song of choices, even the reckless ones. Every risk, every gamble, every calculated step… it’s all part of the rhythm.”
Aventurine leaned back, watching you with an intensity that made your pulse quicken. “So… this song is me in… metaphors?”
“Yes.” You traced patterns in the notebook absentmindedly. “Your highs and lows, your charm and cunning… the way you wear confidence like armor. It’s all there. And the silences—the pauses between actions—they’re part of the music too.”
He let out a low whistle, impressed despite himself. “You think I’m… more than I let people see?”
“Much more,” you said. “And I want you to know. Not in coins, not in bluffs, not in victories… but in something real. A song only I can give.”
He tilted his head closer, letting the edge of the lamplight catch the glint of his rings. “You make it sound… almost dangerous. Like you’re singing at a table with loaded cards, and I’m the one who could fold or double down.”
“That’s part of it,” you smiled, warmth threading through your voice. “You’re a game of skill, luck, and fear… and the song doesn’t hide it. It celebrates it.”
Aventurine’s hand hovered near yours, a rare vulnerability breaking through his polished facade. “Then… I’ll listen. Not as a gambler, but as… me. The one you see.”
You let your fingers brush his hand lightly, feeling the electricity of unspoken truths. The song existed in the room between you, intangible yet vivid, capturing every calculated risk, every hidden scar, every daring smile. And for once, Aventurine let someone see the man behind the gamble, not just the legend.
The hum of Boothill’s spaceship was steady, almost hypnotic, as you perched on the edge of the command console, notebook open, guitar resting against your leg. The stars streaked past the viewport, cold and distant, while inside, the warmth of your music began to fill the cabin.
Boothill leaned casually against the doorway to the cockpit, one mechanical arm folded, the other resting on the console. “You always do this,” he said, voice roughened by countless battles, yet softened by the rare intimacy of your presence.
“I can’t help it,” you replied. “I write songs for people who… leave an impression. You leave one everywhere you go.”
He snorted, a mix of amusement and disbelief. “I don’t see it that way.”
“Of course not,” you said, smiling. “But that’s what makes it interesting. The song isn’t about what you think of yourself—it’s about what everyone else feels when you’re around. The danger, the fire, the relentless streak of justice… and the quiet parts no one notices. That’s the melody I’m chasing.”
Boothill’s head tilted, his ear catching the soft strum of your guitar. “And what does it sound like?”
“Like stars colliding,” you said. “Like scars and hope, all wrapped into one. Like a storm that somehow comforts instead of destroys. It’s messy, it’s bright, it’s you.”
He let out a low whistle, leaning closer. “You make it sound… almost beautiful. Almost like it’s something I deserve.”
“You do,” you said firmly. “Even with all the blood, the vengeance, the battles… there’s something human in you. Something worth singing about. Something worth… holding onto.”
Boothill’s mechanical fingers hovered near yours, uncertain yet drawn. “Then… I’ll hear it,” he said. “Not just the notes, not just the tune… the parts about me nobody ever sees. The parts I keep buried under all the guns and explosions.”
You nodded, letting the music flow, filling the cabin with warmth against the void of space. Your song didn’t need words—it carried the weight of his past, the intensity of his resolve, the quiet longing he seldom admitted. And as the stars streaked past, he let himself feel it, letting the melody trace the lines of his story in a way words never could.
In that spaceship, amidst the hum of engines and the cold infinity beyond, your music became a lifeline—a song for a man who had lost everything but still fought for what remained. Boothill didn’t just listen; he felt every note, and in return, he let a fragment of himself live in the song forever.
