resting easy knowing im the only person to put Jai-006 (favorite niche spartan) on the genderfluid pride flag
So, it's been 2 months since Empty Throne...
and I'm just sayin, since I guess we doin spoilers now, if you're a "Spartan II/Sangheili woman" kinda person, shipping Jai-006 with Tul 'Juran is right fuckin there
Like, Grey team (but especially Jai) getting a sweet-spot for Sangheili during Envoy, both out of "oh fuck we just did a gigantic warcrime during peacetime" and also because Rojka ends up fighting alongside them in the end was a major character development...
And then it leads right into Tul 'Juran getting assigned to their team and, over the course of the book, going from "humans are trash" to "grudging respect" to "butterflies in the stomach when she finds out Jai survived"
And instead of Grey Team getting redeployed with a UNSC vessel or finally getting that Prowler they keep asking for, they end up taking up residence on the Shadow of Intent as part of Rtas 'Vadum's band of adopted family
So y'know, if ya wanna ship them, they live on the same ship and got plenty of chemistry with each other.
Finally feel comfortable to share some of my halo headcanons, certainly after rereading Empty Throne again. Primarily about Grey Team. (Also, because I don't have any finished art due to workloads but shhh)
Grey Team headcanons
Grey Team is in a polyamorous relationship, even if they aren't totally certain of the right terms.
Adriana-111 is the big spoon of the relationship and fully enjoys holding Jai-006 or Michael-120 close to her. In a way, it makes her feel like she could keep them safe. Certainly, in the aftermath of Empty Throne.
Jai can and will listen to Adriana and Michael discuss things like weapons, technology and explosives. In a similar vein, Adriana and Michael have spent hours discussing explosives.
Grey Team has a photo of them and Mendez that isn't standing at ease, or any military formalities. It's more like a family photo. They also occasionally kept in touch at the start of the war, usually as a "Hey we aren't dead yet lol" message.
Grey Team also keeps in contact with Melody as much as they're able to. Adriana is quietly concerned about how Melody is handling things after the events of Envoy.
If they encounter UNSC forces further back behind enemy lines that weren't planned, they usually get the other parties to agree that they never saw them there. “We never heard of Spartans here.” “And you’ll keep it that way, Sergeant.”
Their love language that isn't focused on their individual interests is food. This usually results in Adriana trying to sneak good food back to Jai and Michael when she's doing undercover work. They also stole food in training together. Mendez likely knew this but allowed it to happen so long as they weren't caught to further their teams training regarding stealth and item retrieval.
If one of the team vouches for you, that's usually good enough for the other two. Exceptions can be ones like Delgado from Cole protocol, usually to external circumstances.
Grey Team suffers nightmares about Glyke. They've found some small bit of comfort in sleeping next to each other or holding each other when they sleep.
Adriana will take little knick knacks of technology back to Michael for him to mess around with when she returns from undercover work.
Jai is actually good with makeup and often helps Adriana with putting it on if she needs to wear it.
During the Spartan-II's week 'off' at Emerald Cove, Adriana and Michael buried Jai in the sand when he slept. He has not lived this down.
Adriana's nickname is Adri, however she's only called that by the other two in private when they aren't on any active missions.
Other headcanons
August-099 has imposter syndrome about leading Omega Team. This persists even despite Robert-025 and Leon-011's assurances when it rears its head quite badly.
Fred-104 has basically adopted Ferret Team. Best he can anyways.
Leon-011 doesn't actually talk much despite the game dialogue. He tends to keep quiet as a personal preference. Robert and August have learned to interpret his signals to them and forms of communication. He's always been quiet, even during training.
Douglas-042 would be a bubble tea shop kinda guy. Rock up in full armor because he has some leave but wasn't allowed to take the armor off for whatever reason and ask for suggestions from whoever is working.
Red Team as the start of their time on the Spirit of Fire were confused with each other. Mainly Alice-130 and Douglas-042. People forgot to look at the numbers.
Robert gave Alice her nickname of "Hurricane Alice." He also gave her "Crazy Cici" but that never caught on quite as well. It remains an inside joke now.
Douglas' shoulder hurts in colder temperatures after Atriox crushed it.
The Spartan-IIs are at minimum bilingual in English and Hungarian. However, if they came from a colony world that didn't primarily speak either language, they're multilingual.
(Jai and Adriana thoughts incoming)
So first, whenever a complication comes up during briefings, their eyes always meet first, then the two of them look at Mike at the same time. (Who always notices the little eye contact and he’s also shipping them)
Whenever Adriana has a bit of free time (and for this she makes some if she hasn’t) she manages to annoy him with a playful trick. Like hiding his socks in her own laundry (so he has to search it in her stinky one.)
Before Adriana would go undercover alone, Jai always put an arm on her shoulder as he winks at her as a sign of “Take care of yourself”.
Adriana always takes a bite from Jai’s food, because “my boyfriend’s food looks better than mine” (it’s an existing rule) even though they have the same ration.
They have their first time in EVERYTHING because they did everything together since they were little children, and they can’t imagine trying sushi alone or with anyone else (lol)
Jai was endlessly jealous of Delgado (even he didn’t have a reason)
