Read @visualfallacy ‘s fic. Had to draw some long haired Zoro’s justtt for it. They even tagged one of my pieces as inspiration, I couldn’t in good conscience avoid doing it again!
1-8, 16-19 n 39 for mr. skeltal + glitch n aaron + radu (n poly mess if you can)?
i promise after this i’ll maybe pack
- How do they fall asleep? Wake up? Any daily rituals?
The sleep whenever the feel like, and when there’s no work to do, well at least Tal does, Glitch just rests her eyes
The fall asleep cuddled up, after a long night, maybe at 2am. Wake up when Radovan gets a call for work, or when Aaron’s alarm at 10 rings
If by some miracle they’re all in the same place when it’s time to sleep, they’re nestled together, either in Romir’s tent or in Alez’ bedroom floor. Wake up bc Lana needs to pee
- How’s their team work? Do they share well?
Their teamwork is magnificent, Kadiz takes care of the planning and the mission layout, Tal does the work, she might act as a decoy if needed for him to move forward
They micromanage the future shared apartment well enough, idk what else
Lana and Romir already work as a team, Brianne sometimes brings a new viewpoint in there and Alez only does their weapons, nothing else, he feels bit useless
- Are they open about their relationship? How do they feel about public displays of affection?
Tal isn’t shying away from that, but Kadiz is at first, bc she believes they should keep it professional in the public, but if tal wants to hold her hand she’s cool, just not in front of a parliament
Aaron is literally serenading to and about him on the streets, and pubs, anywhere he goes with his guitar, he’ll hold Radu’s hand, kiss him on the forehead if he gives his consent
They’re pretty open, also open about the polyamory, not like it’s unacceptable in the first place, if you ask, Romir will brag about all of his partners, and Alez will be just as confused about how he got all three
- First impression of each other? Was it love at first sight?
More like mutual respect at first sight, and mutual trust and the third glance
Aaron felt sorry for him, and after walking him to a taxi realized he doesn’t need pity, he needs support, so he offered it, it was a slow process from friends to lovers
It took few tries on others but Romir and Alez hit it off right away
- Nicknames? Pet names? Any in-jokes?
Just your common pet names, some shared snark on the authorities as jokes
I’m sure Aaron can come up with something amazing but i sure can’t
Alez calls everyone with some cheesy pet name, and you know Brianne is feeling soft if she calls you by a shortened name. They like to joke about Bri’s and Alez’ first meeting, all those flying hammers
- Any tasks that are always left to one person?
Let tal handle all the romantic stuff, and let kadiz handle the comforting
Radu makes excellent coffee, and grows goo oranges, Aaron does the heavy lifting and serenading at dinner
Lana makes sure everyone has been kissed at least once a day, Romir kicks bullies’ asses, Brianne handles the dry humor, and Alez brings them all together, the most important one
- What annoys them the most about their partner? Would they change it if they could?
After learning how harmful smoking is kadiz doesn’t really want to see him smoking. Tal might argue she’s too trusting and naive
His drinking and tendency to get into fights is bit too much for Aaron, Radu might see him as too childish and goody-two-shoes
They would appreciate if Bri opened up a little more often, but she really doesn’t have anything to open up about, she was never abused or anything calm down guys she became a bounty hunter just because. Romir is reckless, Lana gets pissed easily, and Alez is constantly downplaying himself
- What do the like best about their partner?
His kindness is most of what kadiz sees in him. She’s also very gentle and smart so maybe that?
Radu was fiery one when they first met, and it felt bit awkward to see him sober and so small, Aaron saw so much passion in him but directed at the wrong things. Aaron is gentle giant, and a feast to eyes in Radu’s books
Everything, and if you argue with that with Alez, he’s gonna throw a frying pan at you
- Do they keep secrets? Lie? Cheat?
Some things need to be kept secret in their work, but only the ones that might affect things drastically, like her knowing who Quail is, and Tal wanting to keep him and Celia’s past secret. Might throw some little white lies, but never cheat
Radu may hide something about Nikholai or something along the lines, lies are for naught, and cheating is bad for both of ‘em
No secrets are kept, white lies, and why would they cheat when there’s perfectly good three lovers to choose from who to spend the night with
- What would make them break up? Would it be permanent?
Major disagreements about work or other relationships, or just, kadiz not being comfortable again in the relationship, or Tal needing more space and time for Styx and Mitra. If there’s a big fight, it’d be it, but if not they might end up back together
Aaron’s energy being drained by taking care of Radu, or Radu giving up on himself and Aaron. Most likely permanent
There’s on-off seasons sometimes between Romir and Brianne but htey always make up for it and still love each other, so nothing permanent
- What are their dates like? How long do/did they date? Do they ever feel the need to take a break from each other?
A date can be a walk outside and then go nap together
Aaron wants to show around the town parts Radovan may have not visited yet and when time flies before you know it Aaron is taking him to Cali to his home city
A date can be hunting down a criminal and then having afternoon tea with your local blacksmith
- What do they fight about? What are their arguments like? How do they make up?
Mostly work related, kadiz herself won’t get too worked up about tal missing a private meeting or something like that, she knows he’s tired. about Tal idk. But there’s a rule of no yelling, everything needs to be talked through in a civil manner
Aaron won’t raise his voice, maybe put some more chest to it tho so it might sound louder than it is, will stop it radu’s too uncomfortable but he want to get his point across you know, he’s sorry, about radu idk
it’s brianne snapping about something and romir doing the same right back, Lana yells something in the middle and Alez is trying not to cry in the corner bc he doesn’t like loud noises (when he’s not involved) When Alez is taking part he’s straighforward and apologetic, rest make sure they won’t yell at him, but settle thing instead
