Hubert von Vestra - Fatherhood HCs

Second part to this ask! Hope you enjoy!

~Latte ♡

Would probably only want one or two at most; not that he wouldn’t love them all! he just values his sanity and knows all too well how chaotic a large household can be

Would adore his kid(s) and be very protective of them, especially if he had a daughter

A strict but just parent; he wants what’s best for them and isn’t one to cave easily when it concerns his child(ren)’s well-being

Would let his kid(s) learn something the hard way, if they were so insistent

Would just stare--not glare--at them if they did something they knew they weren’t supposed to (he always knows when they’re up to something; those poor kids can’t get away with anything when he’s home); the truth always came out, usually sooner rather than later

Would absolutely kill someone he thought was a threat to his family; love knows no bounds with him

Would teach them dark magic, 100%; he would be so proud when they asked to learn (even more so the first time their spell was successful without his help)

Also teaches them marksmanship and riding; “Just in case”

Still very stoic in public, even towards his offspring (though he will place a hand on their head/shoulder and smile at them if they hide under his cloak/grab onto him); in private though? Snuggles, so many snuggles, and lots of reading to them, and really any interaction with them that won’t end in anyone getting hurt (though if Ferdinand’s at the other end  of the jape? he might make an exception. “Hubert, no” -s/o probably)

Though he doesn’t sing, he does hum to get them to sleep; his deep baritone has the kid(s) snoozing in a matter of minutes (and his s/o too whoops)

A co-sleeper, more so when they’re younger; the easiest way for him to protect his family if something goes wrong is to have them right there with him, right?

Takes night duty; s/o needs sleep, and he’s more than capable of handling things

Stays close to them if they get sick, even doing his work while sitting in a chair at their bedside

Also you’d best believe his children know and love Edelgard to death; she’s actually their godmother

Ends up developing a higher caffeine tolerance than he already had as a result of trying to cope with his tiny terrors as they grew older (especially after they learn magic, Saints)

One of the proudest moments of the man’s life would be if one of his kids became the next retainer to House Hresvelg

Gotta admit. Dieing for some modern au hubert on Halloween with his 3 kids? Would they convince him to take them trick or treating? These hubert imagines are all making me so happy. It's funny how they kind if all line up to tell one story of emo dude + s/o after the war!

Uh, of course, Anon! This is such a cute AU goodness ^^ <3

Ah, I’m glad these are making you happy! They’ve been a ton of fun to write. Plus the fact that they form a semi-linear story is super sweet! This would nothing without y’all’s creativity to keep it going

((If you’d prefer an imagine, let me know!))

Papa!Hubert von Vestra [Modern AU] - Halloween HCs

He would be all over Halloween! Dark and spooky holiday? It’s right up his alley (plus he wears black every other day of the year anyway)

Would take the kids costume shopping, at their insistence; he can reach the high up masks/costumes that the kids (and s/o) can’t

Would buy fake blood for the kids; he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, if need be; poor s/o would have a heart attack when they saw it all over the offspring, very strategically placed

He’d let the kids dress up how they wanted, though his son wanting to be a vampire would get a chuckle out of him as he ruffled the boy’s hair

He’d also buy the animated decorations (the huge, motion-activated ones? yeah those); again, poor s/o, also poor kids

In a few years, those kids wouldn’t be scared of anything; haunted houses, graveyards, seances? they’ve seen it all

Hubert would be the type to pull the “doll in the hall” trick

Not really the type to carve jack-o-lanterns, too cheerful for his taste; but, again, if his kids begged him (they all inherited s/o’s cute pout, somehow) he would

He and s/o would curl up together to watch horror movies all through October/Wyvern Moon; he’s especially fond of cult horror and Stephen King

He would go with them to trick-or-treat, under the guise of simply wanting to watch out for them

He’d love watching them run excitedly back to his side after getting candy though

Caspar has the best assortment of candy; the children love seeing him every year

Edelgard is another favorite; she always has very pretty costumes

Hubert would be fine with letting his tiny ones get scared, so long as everything was explained afterward and they didn’t have nightmares about it

If anyone tried to scare his kids without his permission though, they’d find themselves flat on their back, dazed and confused in the middle of the street; don’t mess with the man’s family

Would carry the girls after they fell asleep halfway through trick-or-treating, his son still going strong

If the kids ever convince (read: force) their parents to dress up for Halloween, some of Hubert’s would include the Phantom of the Opera, a vampire, a butler, and a warlock

He practices magic and performs rituals throughout the month; the kids and s/o know better than to disturb him

If any of his offspring were interested, he’d show them how to safely practice and summon once they were older, much to s/o’s chagrin; “There better not be another spirit loose in this house” - s/o probably

Latte,, that Hubert writing was on point. I hope you dont mind me adding some of my own hc's (not the anon who asked originally). Year or two later reader probably accidently gets pregnant again. This time twin girls. Dude probably nearly has a heart attack. Teaches their son black magic behind s/o back. Son teaches the girls. Hubert is proud as his kids destroy shit. Oh! And!! Tea parties!! All three kids manage to convince him into it. He secretly LOVES it. Never would admit it.

Thank you so much, Anon!! Yes, please send all the Hubert HCs; he’s a good husband (even if he has his doubts, the dork).

((Also reminding me I need to write mine too oop–))

I freaking love your brain, by the way, this is genius; I cackled reading it it’s so cute,,

The man would absolutely trip once he found out his s/o’s having twins. “Twins?! As in, two? At once?? Honestly???” Get the poor count some smelling salts, please. He’d be mega protective though, especially of his precious girls

Can definitely see him teaching their son (and by domino effect the twins) black magic; probably wouldn’t take s/o long to figure it out though:“Darling, why are the curtains charred?”“No reason, dearest.” He’s tries to death glare at the little sh/ts, but he’s just too proud and ends up smirking and chuckling at them instead. The kids just giggle; papa couldn’t ever be mad at his prodigies, now could he?“Hubert, you didn’t–“ s/o probably

Of course those kids could wrangle him into tea parties, dress up and all. He’d have a glare on his face the entire time, but eventually they’d all end up laughing in the floor. S/o would find the three sprawled out over their father, either still giggling or fast asleep“Having fun, dear?”“Absolutely not.” Hubert most likely; the smile on his face would give it away though; his family is his everything

Overprotective Papa!Hubert: "And just what are your intentions with my daughter?" "Hubert, he's only three!"

skfjskjs Tima!! I am here *snaps* for *snaps* this !!! *snaps*

Hubert would so do something like that, no matter how old his girl(s) is(are). The man would be ready to curse the kid’s entire family and all his descendants, death glare, tome, and all. The boy would be almost in tears (can’t blame him though; having a man well over six foot and dressed like a vampire staring down at you would be scary). S/o would have to calm down a lot of angry nobles/parents because of overprotective!husband aha~

Can I chime in on Papa!Hubert headcanons? Cause I think he'd be the type to insist on not using baby talk and stuff like that but if it's just him and the baby he will use all the baby talk. (I forgot how to word half way through so sorry if this reads awkward...)

Of course, Tima! All HCs are welcome here! (especially if they involve mod’s husbands oop–) And no worries, it reads just fine. :) Thank you so much for adding to this! This is so cute oh Seiros,,,

Could absolutely see Hubert acting as the “teach them to speak correctly“ type of parent while in public (even around s/o); his children will pronounce everything properly from day one: intonation, inflection, you name it

Could also totally see him using parentese when alone with the kiddo; he’d be super careful to make sure it was just them though. If his s/o caught him, he’d never live it down aha

THE HALLOWEEN HC'S AHHH so sweet... thank you sm. Hubert DEF teaches them how to summon Satan and other shit lmao.

You’re so welcome, Anon! I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for requesting; it was so fun to write!

Yep, Satan/Cthulhu/any-other-eldritch-horror/demon is a normal house guest of the Vestra’s:

“Hubert…”

“I’m watching them, dear; it’s fine”

“There’s an elder god in the backyard”

“Yes, they’re making wonderful progress with their rituals”

Hubert and his 3 kids have my heart melting,,, thank you both for these good headcanon of best boy. Bless.

Thank you so much, Anon! People in this community are so fun and open and lovely and creative; you guys are what make this so enjoyable to do!

((Honestly my heart melted too; it was so freaking cute to read ugh he’s such a good guy underneath it all))
