Maybe for hybrid au a master who uses their nature against them but in a nice way?
For example if they feel like Fal is overworking himself instead of trying to convince him to rest, they just turn up the heat and give him a fuzzy blanket. Once he’s a puddle they basically just shepherd him to bed.
That’s the best example I can think of rn but if you have any other ideas for other gunboys please add them :))
Oh, he hates this. You know enough about his body to use it against him, and being forced to rest feels like a threat, even when it comes in the form of warmth and soft things gently coaxing him to let go. He fights it as best he can, but crashes every time, too exhausted to resist the instinct to relax once it hits. It feels like you're trying to trick him somehow, and he dreads that pleasure every time it comes.
A makeshift nest in your office becomes his safe space. At first, it was nice simply because you made it for him, but the more time he spends settled and comfortable there, the more attached he gets. It feels safe to have somewhere warm and undisturbed to come back to, and since he retreats to the little nook whenever he's stressed or lonely, you always know where to find him. What a blessing it is.
At some point, you're going to get tired of the constant struggle involved in things like getting him to bathe, accept medical care, or other such Human Existence Ordeals. Then, you invest in a human-sized falconry hood, and it works. While the hood is on, the will to fight just vanishes. He doesn't struggle or get angry, and hardly remembers why he should be even once the thing comes off.
Scruffing him! It's a great way to get tantrums to settle down; as soon as you grab him by the back of the neck, his body goes limp and his mind goes fuzzy. All urge or ability struggle melts away, giving you a perfect opportunity to drag him off and get him to calm down somewhere private. He can't even hate that you're taking advantage of his biology, because the care involved feels so nice.
