a/n: this is book Nina, but I’ll try not to have any spoilers. Also Nina IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLUS SIZED BUT I GUESS THAT WAS TOO DIFFICULT HUH.
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
SFW🌿
・You had met Nina when you were two young Grisha, brought to the Little Palace to train.
・Her hot-headed nature always brought trouble, and you loved trouble.
・Whenever there was a task the Darkling needed done, with force and intimidation, he sent you two.
・Her nickname for you is ‘Sparkles’, and yours for her is ‘Heart-breaker’.
・There was a time when you had a crush on Nina - I mean who wouldn’t? Her charm was irresistible. But that, mixed in with her heartrending abilities meant ... she was having you on.
・You never were actually in love with her ... she only made you feel that way.
・Which was quite cruel, but that’s the thing with being Nina Zenik’s best friend. She’ll push you and push you, to see if you’ll break.
・Because she finds it hard to be close to someone.
・But her little trick didn’t faze you. And with you being an Inferni ... well ... you set her favourite shoes on fire.
・And she knew you were going to be best friends for life.
・After that, you two were inseparable. Seeing the worst of the other meant there were no secrets - nothing to hide in hopes of being loved.
・Where one went, the other was close behind.
・If anyone gave you shit, Nina was there to set them straight (not that you needed the help, but it was nice to have someone there - who ALWAYS had your back.)
・The Darkling always saw you two as a handful. But he knew better than to separate the Grisha.
・And it was actually very rare to see two different Grisha be friends. Usually, Heartrenders stuck with each other, as did Inferni, Squallers, Healers and so on.
・But when you two were younger, you had accidentally set Zoya’s hair on fire and she blasted you so harshly that you were unconscious for 10 minutes. Nina was the one to defend you (mostly because she thought Zoya was a pompous piece of work.)
・You both enjoy waffles and have experimented with different recipes. Some range from bananas and oranges to beef and chicken.
・There’s always witty banter between the two of you. Many people can’t keep up and some have asked if you rehearse the back and forth (of course you bloody don’t, you just wit!)
・Sharing clothes, especially if you’re plus-size yourself.
・You would definitely be better at exams/tests than her. And she would often wing them, but in the end she would break down to you and cry:
“Y/N, I just can’t do it. I get so nervous, and I don’t even know why! God this is shameful ...”
・Being able to make each other laugh, even with just a look or facial expression
・Saving the other ALL THE DAMN TIME
・Being each other’s alibi
𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐 𝒃𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒆/𝒉𝒆𝒓:
・You two definitely talk about periods and have definitely synched up
・Sleeping in the same room all the time, and the other having to scurry back to their own room before classes start
・Helping each other bathe, especially when the other feels sad. May it be from missing family, to the tough life of a Grisha.
・You have a lot of intimate moments - forehead kisses, holding each other close, cuddling etc. But it isn’t romantic. It’s companionship.
𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐 𝒃𝒚 𝒉𝒆/𝒉𝒊𝒎:
・Many have speculated that you two are together. But that can’t be farther from the truth.
・You have a lot of love in your heart for Nina, but she’s your platonic soulmate
・Matthias would definitely get jealous of the relationship between you and Nina. And would often call you her boyfriend

note: i got some ideas for writing some of the other men in aot and how they cuddle, so this was born! please enjoy!（。＾▽＾） the reader is also gn. ♡
characters: armin, grisha, zeke.
warnings: none, just fluff.
armin
armin is the softest out of anyone when it comes to cuddling.
he loves to sit on your lap and snuggle into your arms; i just know he loves being swaddled.
give him all the attention he deserves, please, he will pout until you do.
he’s always so excited to cuddle and will ask if you guys can build a blanket fort to cuddle in.
armin gives you his most convincing puppy dog eyes whenever he asks you, meaning you rarely ever say no.
you always make sure to bring some snacks into the fort. his favorites are sweets, so it’s usually cookies or cupcakes.
armin’s favorite cuddle position is anything that allows you to wrap your entire body around his. he likes feeling small and safe when he’s in your arms.
sitting in your lap, facing you, limbs wrapped all around you is one of his favorites, otherwise if you’re laying down, he really likes facing one another while laying on your sides.
it gives him good space to tuck his face into your clavicle and have you rub circles into his back.
please also press kisses to his forehead when you cuddle like that, because it makes him melt; he loves it so much.
if you wrap a blanket around him, turning him into an armin burrito? it will make him so freaking happy and giddy.
grisha
cuddling with grisha is great. he’s always tending to you, making sure you have everything you want and need.
this dilf always asking if you want some water or snacks. you always have to tell him that you’re fine, you just need him to come be your comfy pillow to lay on.
he complies immediately, laying beside you and pulling you close.
he definitely is the type who favors the position where he’s laying on his back and you’re half on top of him, resting your cheek on his chest.
he’s so warm, like a furnace, so you rarely need blankets when you cuddle.
it’s also not super often that you get to cuddle with him, him being a doctor, he’s working a lot.
you two cuddle of course when going to bed, but cuddling just to cuddle and bask in your lover’s embrace is not something that you get a chance for very much.
so, whenever grisha has a day off, you better expect some serious pampering and also him being super clingy.
grisha just wants to spoil you and make you feel loved!
he also loves having you sit on his lap to cuddle when you watch movies on the couch.
he will constantly press kisses to the top of your head or to your cheeks. he’s such a soft man.
zeke
he’s definitely the big spoon and doesn’t wanna compromise on it.
prefers spooning over other positions. he likes to tuck his head and face into the back of your neck and just breathe in the scent of your shampoo.
he purposefully tickles your neck with his beard because he adores how you try to get away and can’t stop laughing.
this jaeger is also a big fan of you sitting on his lap. he will run his hands along your hips and sides when you sit on him.
zeke also really likes when you lay your head on his lap and feel comfortable enough to just use him as a giant pillow. boosts his ego.
he’s so good at giving massages too. he will give you the best neck/shoulder massage when you lay on his lap.
he doesn’t try to come off clingy, because he hates the idea of it, but he honestly is a bit clingy, even if he wont admit it.
he loves cuddling with you and will always pull you onto the couch or into the bed to snuggle up beside him.
when you’re spooning, he likes resting his hands on your tummy and giving you tummy rubs.
he’s so sweet, even if he doesn’t mean to be. he of course wants you to know how much he loves you, but sometimes he’s afraid of letting it show, so be sure to give him plenty of love in return.
It’s officially Christmas and I’m thinking about my headcanons for Aleksander and how I personally think that he tends to act more human around other ancient people because like
I know that Baghra is his mom and everything and of course she’ll know how to get to him and annoy him and all that but like. He’s also had his entire life to decide to learn how to shut her out and not care so...
I just think that there’s a difference between the Darkling with normal people who will live and die within at least a hundred years (probably much less than that with there being a war going on and such) and Aleksander who meets an equal that is powerful enough that they have/will live for centuries like himself.
Like, he’s weak for Alina maybe not just because she’s meant to be the light to balance out his darkness but because he knows that he can be weak for her. Because he could open up to her and not have the emotional work that he put into her fade to dust with her death in just the next step that he takes in his life.
So I just imagine Aleksander, in a world where these ungodly powerful people exist more often, he opens up more. He’s still the power hungry, dangerous, cold person the Darkling always has been to the rest of the world but sometimes he just kind of takes a weird scouting vacation to meet up with a bunch of other stupidly powerful entities and he just. Chills. And he’s still kind of an asshole and he sees himself above everyone else there, but everyone else there probably has some sort of superiority complex as well so it all just kind of evens out and. He just lets himself be more human for a while among these people who are his peers, at least.
He actually laughs, he might even get a little tipsy when he takes one too many drinks. And in the morning they all say goodbye and disperse before heading back from whence they came and he goes back to normal.
.... so like. I have feelings on the subject, okay?

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒏.
Seemingly always in a daydream, INTPs are constant thinkers whose curiosity constantly gets the best of them. They’re the type of people to ask why, to wonder how things work and think about the ‘what ifs’.
They are curious, analytical, and independent – INTPs are often pegged as the “mad scientists” in the world of fiction.
𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿
・You grew up together in the Little Palace. She was the first person you ever saw, a true Grisha. Her powers were incredible. And you were wild with curiosity.
・But your intrigue for Zoya was thwarted. Not by her, but by work. There seemed to be no time for anything in the Little Palace.
・Education sucked up all your time. And your grisha powers were in dire need.
・Your parents didn’t want you to go, especially because you were their eldest child, but the time came for you to be tested.
・You had alawys fixed up your father’s farmer machines and tools. Your family knew you were grisha, but tried to hide you.
・Being told you were a Fabrikator wasn’t a shock to you. It was unusual for a child to be able to fix so many things, without knowing how they worked.
・You could pick up on the mechanics of things within minutes of studing it
・For an INTP, and Fabrikator, you were a little loud. Well, when compared to the others. To many, you were still quiet and bookish.
・To Zoya, you were a complete nerd. But secretly, she loved that about you.
・Everyday she would somehow end up at the workshops, saying one of her beloved compacts had broken
・You were always the one to fix them
・Zoya gets butterflies whenever you smile at her. The first time it happened, you were sitting in the workshop and she flounced in. Someone said something passively aggressively towards you, and she shot back without a second thought.
・You couldn’t help but be entertained by the person’s red face and quick feet as they scurried away with a bruised ego
・The Darkling was intimidating, but you weren’t entirely fazed by him. He was your leader, and you believed in him. He had the Grisha’s best interests at heart. It was only logical for you to accept him.
・So you became the head Fabrikator over time, and Zoya was even more impressed by you. Because you didn’t need charm, or charisma to get people to like you. It was your honesty and direct outlook on life.
・Slowly, you became good friends with Zoya. She too was honest. But in a much more brutal way.
・The years went by and puberty hit both of you like a truck
・Hormones are a crazy thing. And for Zoya, they made her even more beautiful.
・You’d never felt love for someone before. Family love yes, you missed your parents and siblings dearly. But you had never experienced romantic love
・No one had shown you any attention in that area
・Well, not until one of your friends had pointed out that Zoya was always looking at you
・You brushed it off. What a ridiculous thing to point out, you thought. It was probably because you always had a smudge of oil on your nose or forehead
・But Zoya kept on staring. And making conversation.
・And after months of ‘going to different places together’ (as you thought) but your friends calling them DATES!
・She kissed you.
・Outright. Pointblank.
・Put her lips onto yours.
・And you melted... it felt like all those stories you had read, and songs you heard were all truth
・As a partner, Zoya is very passionate. She can’t keep her hands off of you in private. In public, she isn’t much for PDA.
・But she does like everyone knowing you’re hers
・If someone looks at you for too long, she will verbally murder them
・You always have someone on your side. Someone to rely on.
・Many people think she’s the ‘one who wears the pants’ in your relationship. But really, you call the shots.
・She may be intimidating. But she doesn’t tell you what to do. No one can.
・Zoya loves when you play with her hair, especially if you braid it.
・And she still comes to you when she needs something fixed
・Will summon wind to cool you down
・She would rather spend all her time with you, than with friends
・Zoya likes to be the little spoon
・Loves listening to you rant, especially if it’s about something you’re passionate about. Even though she has no idea what you mean if you’re talking about machinery
・At times you do get a bit possessive of Zoya, and snap at people who are trying to flirt with her. She gets very impressed...
・She actually initiates most of the cuddling
・You guys make a lot of sarcastic comments about other people to each other
𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒆𝒕 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒀𝒐𝒖: Mouse, Brainiac, Book (because you always carry a book or have one in your bag). Her teasing ways don’t cease even when you’re in a relationship.
𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆: Quality Time and Acts of Service. She doesn’t particularly like speaking her feelings, so she shows them through doing.

grisha x gn!reader
warnings: none.
you met grisha on a dating site. yes, that’s right, you met him online.
he’s a hot doctor and he seemed like a very sweet man from what you read on his profile, so after matching with him, you began to chat.
you quickly found out that he had two sons, one that was in his twenties, and one that was seventeen. zeke and eren.
he was worried that would be an issue for you, as it was for people in the past.
you quickly reassured him that you did not mind whatsoever.
when he took you out on dates, they would always be to some really fancy restaurants, because, as a doctor, he could afford it. he just loves treating you when he gets the chance.
he would never let you pay for dinner, he always would insist on being the one to cover the bill.
eventually, you two made it official and started going steady, much to his son eren’s displeasure.
you two had no idea what eren’s deal was with you. sure you were much younger than grisha, but that shouldn’t be a reason for eren to hate you.
you had met zeke a few times before, and he was pretty chill with you, he understood that you and his father really liked each other, so he made an effort to get to know you.
but no one had any idea what eren’s deal was.
grisha speculated that perhaps it was that he wasn’t ready to move on from his mom after she passed.
you had actually witnessed many occasions where eren would argue with his dad about how he didn’t like you and didn’t think it was a good idea to start dating you.
it hurt your feelings, but you never really said anything because you knew it was hard on eren and you didn’t want to say anything to grisha to drive him and his son farther apart.
eventually, eren accepted the changes, and while he was still unhappy, he conveyed it quietly instead of bursting out angrily.
he would rarely talk to you, and this didn’t change once grisha asked you to move in.
most days where you were at the house, were pretty lonely, even with eren there. grisha would be at work, you would have a day off, and when eren got home from school, he would grab a snack and retreat to his room.
he didn’t say hi to you, just gave you a wave and dismissed your presence.
you decided it would be good to bring up to him one night when you two were settling down for bed. he was livid, wanting to go talk to eren right that moment, but you grabbed him by the arm, keeping him in the bed with you.
you explained how you didn’t want to upset the relationship between the two. grisha was honestly upset about the whole thing and just decided to apologize and hold you extra close that night.
promises he will sit down with eren that weekend and talk to him about it and try to get him to be nicer to you and accept you as his new parental figure, because he wants to spend his future with you.
that saturday, you wake up and eren greets you which is already weird. he tells you his dad is at work, so it’s just you two. you nod and head to make your morning coffee.
eren confronts you and asks if he can talk to you. when you agree, he tells you his issue the whole time.
he thought his dad was trying to replace his mom with some new partner, he just thought it was too soon, but didn’t realize how selfish he was to everyone else involved.
he never took into account that his dad was ready to be happy again, and that he wouldn’t just forget his last partner.
you hug eren (which you have never done before) and he apologizes again, saying he wants to get to know you since you’ll be a big part of his life.
you decide to take him to the arcade that day, just the two of you, so you could spent quality time together.
grisha gets home before both of you, and is honestly super surprised, but very excited to see you two talking and laughing, getting along when you guys get home as well.
grisha suggests going out to dinner that night as a treat for both of you, and that way you can all three spend time together as a family.
eren readily agrees, and so do you. that night was a blast, filled with lighthearted laughter and full hearts.
enough of the backstory with how you and grisha got together!
grisha was super confident and flirty when you first started dating. he would be pulling out those compliments all the time, making you feel wonderful.
kissing grisha was one of the best pastimes. he was so good at kissing since he had a lot of experience. it comes with age.
he would cradle your face in his hands as he kisses you, being so gentle and making sure you felt loved.
whew, making out with this man? it would be steamy as all heck. he would love to have you perched on his lap when you two make out, his hands on your hips.
he likes to press kisses to your jaw in passing. kinda like a kiss on the cheek, but on the jaw.
this man knows what makes you tick and will do his best to make you weak in the knees.
he loves to have a hand on your waist or hip when you’re together.
he also loves to have a hand on your thigh, too. he especially does it when he’s driving. he’ll reach over and rest his hand on your thigh, rubbing circles in with his thumb.
i think instead of holding hands, he will prefer to have you around his arm. sure, he will still hold your hand, but he enjoys the feel of your hands/arms wrapped around his bicep.
he also loves carrying you or giving you piggyback rides.
he’s really good at cooking, but since he tends to be really busy with work, he doesn’t get around to doing it often.
when he does though? you’re in for a treat.
grisha really loves your cooking though and gets overjoyed when he comes home from work to see you made something for dinner.
ohhh grisha is the type who would be so into family movie nights or family game nights.
movie nights would be on fridays. they also typically included armin and mikasa, eren’s best friends, because they would spend the night.
game nights would be on sunday because grisha wants to invite zeke as well to join them in their game adventures.
grisha’s favorite moments are some of the ones where it’s only you two at the house, because you can both lounge around in your underwear and spend the day cuddling.
it doesn’t happen often with him being a doctor and all along with eren usually being home with friends over.
whenever eren is over at armin’s house or mikasa’s house for the weekend though? saturday mornings are spent making breakfast in very few clothes.
cuddles with grisha are the best, because he’ll just have you tucked under his arm with your arms around his middle.
he loves to press kisses to the top of your head when you’re cuddling as well.
when he’s feeling really stressed, he likes to eat sweet things, so you tend to bake him cookies.
he also likes when you hold him close and run your fingers through his hair when he’s stressed. it relaxes him and helps him fall asleep when he is unable to.
grisha’s favorite position to sleep in is with you snuggled into his side, head on his chest.
grisha definitely is one of those guys who would sleep in the nude. he’s just comfy with his body and sees no importance to put on clothes to just sleep.
if you’re not comfortable with that though, he respects you and will put on clothes. i definitely think it takes a while for him to warm up to that point anyways.
overall, grisha is totally a family man, he loves you so much, and he really loves his family.
he wants you to become part of it and enjoy his children.
oh my god, i see him as a grill dad. he will so grill for your little family whenever he gets the opportunity to. it’s just so fun for him.
makes dad jokes all the time, they’re pretty awful and make you question why you love him.
when you express that to him, he pouts and pretends to cry until you kiss him.
AHH grisha would love to impromptu slow dance with you in the kitchen or living room when you guys have music playing.
he would have a collection of records and a nice vintage record player, so you guys would almost always have some tunes playing in your house.
eren would walk in on you guys dancing, maybe sharing slow kisses, and he would pretend to throw up before grabbing a can of pop and slipping back into his room.
teenagers, amirite?
grisha is such a good boyfriend and would be an even better husband! (i will make separate headcanons in the future for being married to him!) grisha will give his entire heart to you, so treat him with much love, please. ♡
