🐺 What sort of relationship does Nesta have with the smoke hounds? What does Eris think of it?
Nesta pretends to dislike them, referring to them as beasts or saying they smell, but she loves them and they love her. They’re cautious of her at first, because so is their master to be honest. But once they realise that oh…master loves this female…hmm okay we must protect her at all times. They follow her around and are always on guard.
Eris simultaneously loves this and is also jealous. The hounds have never been fussed about anyone else before, and certainly not guarded without being told to. They’ve also never obeyed anyone else before and he didn’t tell them to do that, which irrationally annoys him a bit because he does genuinely love that they love her as much as he does.
💋 What was their first kiss like?
Oh lord it was intense. It was built up for aaaaages because she can’t possibly like him (they both think this) and Nesta fights against her desire for him and Eris is holding himself back but when it finallllllly happens oh Lordy they don’t stop. It’s like the floodgates have burst.
📨 Which AU you think would match the best their vibe? Can be something basic as CoffeShop or Hogwarts AU, or any fictional world (From Genshin to Marvelverse to Twilight)
Ooooooh this is so interesting! What I wish for them and what I think they deserve is a Hallmark Christmas film-esque happy ever after, where they have a cottage and lots of land and loads of dogs and they run a little bookshop/coffee shop and whilst they are finally allowed to be kind and nice they’ve also earned the reputation of Not To Be Fucked With and also Will Fuck With Others On Your Behalf, so people come to them for help when they’ve been wronged (Neris fighting homophobic parents/racist townsfolk etc)
But also High Level Work Rivals AU (lawyers or CEO’s) and Game of Thrones AU
🗡️ What do their fights usually look like? Who‘s usually the escalator?
I feel like they try not to fight, really they do. It doesn’t work, of course, because they’re both so traumatised and easily hurt. They’re pretty emotional, lots of shouting, I feel like Nesta is an angry crier. From the outside it looks like Nesta escalates as she’s the one who starts the shouting but it’s because Eris has started shutting off and pushing her away instead of working it out. It’s his knee jerk reaction to someone being upset with him is he’s gonna lose them, they’re gonna leave, so he has to make it look like that’s what he wants. Jumping before he’s pushed. Nesta manages to get through that though and convince him she’s not going anywhere or else she’d have already left. Why would she bother arguing if she didn’t care?!
🔥 Who tops, who bottoms? Do they switch?
Omg they switch. They switch part way through, they do one round one way and the next the other, literally all the time. It’s a constant push and pull and they are SO good at knowing what the other needs. Sometimes Eris wants to surrender all control to someone else for a while and Nesta indulges. When he’s had his fill of that he needs to right himself, and get himself “back to normal” as he’d see it and takes back control. This could be after a few minutes, rounds or hours.
Oooh see in my MAU they meet properly via my OC Anastasia, but Eris is aware of her from having a meeting with the IC at the House of Wind. But I think in general they’d either meet by accident in somewhere like a library or book shop or maybe even a high end lounge, but then meet again via Lucien and Elain. Cliche and boring answers I know ahah.
💒 What kind of marriage ceremony would they prefer? What kind do they get?
I think they’d prefer to have something small and intimate, they’d 100% just elope if they could. But unfortunately, they are who they are and have the families they have so it would have to be a fairly grand affair. They can’t wait to leave the ceremony, both to indulge in each other and also so they can drop their performances, their masks and just be.
