here’s a few polyamorous relationship headcanons for kate and garrett. the reader is gender neutral so i’ll try to keep things as ambiguous as possible!
warnings? i don’t know… there’ll be a lot of fluff, i suppose! additionally i don’t really know how to write any smutty hcs without getting too descriptive of the reader’s gender, so that won’t be included in this.
Kate and Garrett both have strong personalities and tend to be somewhat competitive in asserting their dominance over each other (and you, of course). They share the same struggle with submitting to one another’s will, neither is comfortable relinquishing control.
There is a constant power struggle between the two, but your presence has created a sense of balance in their lives. Somehow, you had managed to tame the untamable — a feat difficult for some, but easy for you.
While Kate is more mischievous and sarcastic with you, Garrett has proven himself to be rather boisterous and expressive. They are total opposites of each other, and yet without one another everything would feel incomplete.
Kate likes to play with you ;-) there is a strange fondness hidden beneath nearly every remark she makes. Her humor is sharp and effortless, often delivered with a smirk or an amused glance that makes it difficult to tell whether she is teasing you or testing you.
This woman enjoys provoking reactions simply for her own entertainment, tossing dry comments into conversations and watching the chaos unfold with quiet satisfaction.
Unlike Kate’s sharper, more teasing affection, Garrett’s is warm and unguarded — the kind that comes through in playful shoves, exaggerated praise, and an almost reckless enthusiasm whenever he is around you.
Garrett loves loves LOVES telling you about his war stories, particularly in front of Kate. He takes her presence as an opportunity to boast about the battles he's witnessed and fought in, often igniting competition.
Garrett will always be glancing in your direction mid-story to gauge your expressions in order to see whether or not you're impressed by his soldier's tale. Once he knows you're entertained, he'll shoot Kate a cocky smile, which often earns him a rude hand gesture from the hot-headed blonde.
Both of them have made it a habit of watching you sleep. Seeing you in such a vulnerable state jump-starts their protective instincts. They find it so peculiar how humans need to go into a short-term coma for hours just to function for what little time they spend awake the next day.
Once you fall into unconsciousness, Kate keeps her eyes locked onto your sleeping form, never breaking away unless she hears a disturbance nearby. The warrior likes to watch over you while you're resting, just like how she safeguarded her caravan at night back in her mortal life.
Kate can't remember what it's like to sleep, so she often studies you, counting each breath you take and how frequently you move. There's something so fascinating to her about your state of senselessness that she can't quite explain.
She still wonders how it feels to be engulfed in total blackness, allowing your mind to fall into oblivion.
Garrett lies by your side every night, while Kate sits on the bed's edge. He traces shapes on your face when you have trouble sleeping, the soothing motions being circled onto your skin by his fingertips helping you fall asleep instantaneously.
Kate sometimes lays on the other side of you until you fall asleep, but once she knows that you're out cold she'll position herself into a sitting position. She likes to be up and alert so that if there was any threat to your safety, she'd be able to eradicate it immediately.
In the summer, usually when it's really warm out, Garrett and Kate lay close to you in the bed, with barely anything separating the three of you. Most of the time, you're so desperately hot to the point you're practically begging them to take off every article of clothing that's blocking you from their cold marble skin.
During colder months, Kate will make the bed so cozy and warm for you. Having learned to survive out in the wilderness with her tribe, she knows how to preserve heat with almost instinctive precision — layering furs properly, warming fabrics near the fire before bringing them to bed, and surrounding the space with enough softness that the cold outside barely reaches you.
"Babe, you could just buy me a heated blanket," is something you say to Kate a lot, to which she answers with a scoff and an almost offended look, as though the suggestion itself is ridiculous.
“Heated blankets are pathetic,” she mutters back every single time, already tugging another layer over you anyway. “They go lukewarm after ten minutes and then suddenly you’re freezing again.”
Sometimes she follows it with a sarcastic remark about modern technology making people weak, though the faint smile pulling at the corner of her mouth usually gives her away.
Kate takes a strange amount of pride in being the reason you are warm, often tugging you against her chest afterward with an air of smug satisfaction.
Garrett likes to sing to you, whether it’s to help you sleep or calm you down when you’re stressed. He was quite an anxious child, the man you knew now wasn’t always so courageous and boisterous.
There was once a time where the only thing that could soothe Garrett through his panic was his mother’s voice, her soft melodies easing his erratic heartbeat.
Although he had trouble remembering his own mother’s voice, Garrett still could recall the songs she sang to him, and that alone brought him comfort.
He’s actually really good at singing, and telling folktales. Besides his own war stories, Garrett enjoys sharing little tales that he’d tell to his sister at night by their family’s hearth.
Kate let’s you wear her necklace (idk how to describe what the piece looks like but it’s sort of identical to the one Tanya has).
Necklaces pictured below:
The image featured on the left is Kate’s necklace, whilst the one on the right belongs to Tanya.
There has never once been a time where Kate has ever parted with this necklace, so it was a really big deal when she decided to let you wear it for the first time.
Somehow, this occasion was also a way to symbolize her trust in you, as she was sharing an object that’s important to her.
Garrett has his prized ring that he lets you wear. The metal used to make the ring itself had actually been from the first bullet he was shot with during the Revolutionary War.
Kate sometimes likes to fiddle with the ring when it’s on your finger. It’s kind of her way to self-soothe. On a random morning, just as you’re waking up, you might find her twisting it around your one digit, the blonde’s cold hands wrapped around yours as she looks like a cat playing with her favorite toy.
Camping with them is always fun. Making fires, roasting marshmallows, telling stories underneath the Northern Lights in Denali…. What could be better than that?
Garrett and Kate usually have to get up to their usual antics 🙄 such as: seeing who’s the fastest at making a sufficient fire, who can build the best tent for their little human, who can find/prepare an edible meal for you out in the wilderness.
Who wins? It’s a coin toss, really. All that matters in the end is that you don’t find yourself poisoned by some random mushroom or berry they try and feed you (which has never happened before at least not yet).
You’ve attempted feeding Kate and Garrett human food before. They were willing enough to try it, even though the both of them knew it wouldn’t end well for either of them.
Obviously vampires aren’t able to digest food, but the two were so eager to please you and it was kinda obvious to you that this was giving them just another opportunity to compete with each other….
Who ate their portion of food the fastest?
Who could hold down their food the longest?
Who was able to consume more than the other before finally combusting?
Ohhh it made you sick to watch them force it back up their throats. In a way, the scene was almost like watching a snake throw up an undigested rodent that was too big for it to swallow.
Let’s just say you’ve never offered them your food again.
Anyways, that’s it for now. I’m open to requests if anyone has some, otherwise I’ll just wait until I’m inspired to write more (which is hopefully soon 🥲 my apologies for being so slow at updating)
