Ayo my cutie pie 🥹🥰 Totally can do 🥰
After all what happened, it was finally one of those day where nothing was going on. Of course it could be the eye of the storm but you wanted to be positive and hope for the best.
Shaxx was nevertheless occupied with Crucible, wanting to strengthen their guardians and shaping their skills. He was always over the top, demanding a lot.
But now the day was almost over and the moon would soon reach it highest point again. You were curled up against his hard chest, free of any armor. His helmet also laid forgotten on his table while you two where cuddled up in a large, fluffy seat with enough space foe you two. Beside the seat was a small table where Shaxx nigthly tea stood, still steaming and just slowly cooling down.
Absentmindedly you took his large hand in yours while his other one stroked your back. With fascination you traced the veins of his hands, lightly touching his fingertips and drawing circles on the back of his hand.
After a while you fingers began to follow each finger, from finger tip to the wrist. Stopping only for just a second when your fingers were caught against his rings. Slowly your focus shifted towards them and with lazy fingers you began to turn them on his finger.
One of them was the wedding band of you two. A similar was on your much smaller ones also.
Hey I'm new to ur blog but can I ask for NSFW Alphabet for Saint 14 and Shaxx? If not some NSFW headcannons will be fine. It's okay if you can't tho no pressure 💕
Oh please, I'm so sorry for probably answering pretty late! I really hope you like it and I'm also sorry for the rather short headcanons.
I also hope the spoiler works becuse below that is NSFW
Lord Shaxx
Oh boy, he will be rough. I can imagine him being the top for mostly 96% of the time and he will be.
The rare occassions when you are topping him it’s when he worked hard and is exhausted from the day. Then he just wants to sit on the bed after a relaxing shower and watching you come closer to him. Sitting on his lap and whispering him some honey sweet words in his ear.
At those times the sex will be more slower and more of a ‘love making’. He will praise you for every action and his hands will wander all over your body. His eyes will occasionally look your body up and down but he will be more fixated on your face and getting lost in your eyes.
Always after sex, however it went, he will make sure to take care of you. Getting you cleaned and making sure you are comfortable. After that he will join you in bed and have you in his arms.
You can bet that Shaxx is also the kind of person for random sex in the open. It will be much quicker than usual but he will make sure you will have your pleasure.
Shaxx will also tease you through out the day to give you signs what will be waiting for you at the end of the day.
Saint-14
Saint is the opposite of Shaxx. He will always be making sure you are first and that you feel good. His feelings? How he feels? Who cares, you are his number one.
Praise. Will praise you and talk dirty. He can’t stop it. He is kind of a talker to make up for his…not so soft robotic body.
And before I forget: He has a dick. Don’t worry.
Sain is more of the person to keep this kind of interaction behind closed doors and if you think about teasing him he will ignore you. He will change the subject and talk about something else.
Isn’t afraid to test out other things that you wish. If there is something he doesn’t like or it feels like he is doing harm to you he will tell you so and say he doesn’t wish to do it again.
After sex will also be very soft. Will take care of you and will cuddle with you.
anon requested: OKAY since there's never any of this, how about shaxx with a man who's TALLER than him?? So s/o is a damn giant (pretty sure shaxx is at least 6’4 so!)
a/n: this mf tall wtf also i read somewhere he was 6'11💀
details: male reader suggested but this came out more gender neutral then intended
pretty surprised actually, its rare/uncommon for him to know someone taller than him and it's probably the first time he ever dated someone taller than him
he feels blessed for the fact he doesn't have to bend down for kisses or hugs anymore, it saves his back from pain
if you're strong enough, he wouldn't be against being picked up, will hold onto you like an over-grown koala
since your a good height for forehead kisses, he's big ass sucker for you pushing his hair out of his face and placing a kiss on his forehead
won't hesitate to not-so-gently, yank you down to his level for kisses or helm bumps
since your both tall you often intimidate the kinderguardians, who are very much scared to walk up to you two(the older guardians help them out)
don't tease him for beginning shorter, you will get thrown across the tower or over it or you'll kneecaps shall be stolen
since y'all so tall its wise to get a very big bed or on of you are gon' be falling off every night
is not at all against being the little spoon while cuddling or laying on your chest, he's not picky for different cuddling positions
A/N: Here is the BIG BOI. I did a little bit of uhhh...creative liberties again involving Shakespeare, but I didn’t mention his face so more to your imagination...Or you can tune into the plans I have for a big(ish) fic with him. ;)

Crimson Bond
The time of the Crimson Bonds rolled around ever year. A special event of the year. A week to celebrate bonds of all kinds. Families of blood and the families you chose. You watched from the area where Lord Saladin usually gazed from, his Wolves missing in the elaborate set of scenery he always brought to the tower. Guardians of all kinds were paired together, celebrating the weeks events in a variety of ways. Most importantly, they were sharing the Crimson Bond in the Crucible. It could mean anything. A bond of any kind. But you looked on with jealous and longing eyes as couples paired together. You watched from the balcony as they showed some of the most daring pairs, dancing with death, together. Unstoppable. You sighed from the balcony again as another pair received the ribbons that Shaxx was handing out. The titan gave a chuckle and slapped two other Titans on the back as he handed them their red, pretty ribbons and sent them on their ways.
“To die together, Titans, is to die with honour!” He clapped them over the backs again and laughed as they smacked their fists against his breastplate, leaving with laughs as they posed with their ribbons for their Ghosts.
Your own Ghost bobbed over your head with a sigh, “You won’t get anywhere with him if you stand here and look glum all day!” He bonked you on top of the head with a curve of his shell, “Eyes up, Guardian!” He teased as loud thumps sounded behind you on the metal stairs.
“Guardian!” Shaxx bellowed from the stairway, “Are you missing Lord Saladin that much that you must stand in his place?” He laughed as he approached, hulking form ducking under the ribbons strewn about the place.
“If you set this up, Ghost, we are going to have very serious words when we get home.” You hissed at your laughing Ghost as he disappeared in a flash of white light.
“Are you speaking to your Ghost?” Shaxx asked as he stood alongside you, looking over the balcony, down at his spot in the tower and beyond the wall, to the shattered pieces of the Traveller, “I hear he is one of the ‘stiff ones’ as Ana put it.” The Warlord places his hands on the railing, “Though that is a good thing! Your little light will keep you safer that way.”
“Shaxx. What did you need me for? You’re rambling again.” You teased mildly, refusing to meet his eyes as you looked at the swaths of red ribbons and silk hanging everywhere.
Shaxx tapped the railing, “I am worried. It is not like you to miss out on my crucible events.” He pushed himself upwards and crossed his arms over his chest, “I have not seen you on the sign up lists with anyone. I assumed you would have a line of people wishing to be your bond heading towards the hanger!” Shaxx tilted his head in curiosity.
It stung. It really did.
You shrugged your shoulders, “I didn’t want to sign up with someone I barely know. Its supposed to be a special bond, yet…” With a sigh you continued, “I don’t have anyone that special. The lone wolf. Hero of the Red War, avenger of Cayde, whatever else titles I have. I don’t have anyone I am close to. No one special. Just me and Ghost.” You gently reached for your Ghost, stroking a gloved finger over his shell as he span anticlockwise.
Shaxx remained silent for a moment, remembering a time when his own Ghost was his only company, “I know that feeling well.” He commented as you rubbed at your arms.
“That and who I would like to be partnered with…Well I think he has other things in mind. Other people and no time.” You smiled at Shaxx and turned, “I’ll see if I can participate later in the week, Shaxx.”
As you turned, your wrist was taken by the Titan, “You do not have to force yourself to participate for my sake, Guardian. I would rather you be happy doing something else.” He let your wrist go, turning his head back to the Traveller, “But, if you would like to show these loved up Kinderguardians how it is done, my door will be open!” He jeered before looking at your face.
Shaxx was no fool. He looked into your eyes and saw the sadness. Suddenly he realised that he was not cheering you up in the slightest, and that ached more than anything else could. He’d had knives shoved between his ribs, yet looking at your sad eyes brought him a greater stinging pain within his chest.
“I have offended you.” Shaxx wondered how poets waxed such words when faced with the emotions in his chest, “I am sorry, Guardian. I did not mean to…uh…rub salt into the wounds.” He offered lamely before sighing and releasing your hand again, words swirling in his gut but never escaping.
“Don’t worry, Shaxx. I’ll be fine.” You smiled as you turned away from him, your Ghost bobbing over your shoulder, bobbing gently as it turned to eye the former Warlord, shaking its shell as Shaxx watched you leave. He grumbled and gave the barrier a thump before opening his palm, revealing the red ribbon clutched in his hand to himself again.
His Ghost whirred over his shoulder, “Way to go, Warlord. You know how to recite the tempest and build massive walls, but you can’t even tell someone you love them!”
“Quiet!” He rumbled, “I’ve never done this before!” Shaxx held the ribbon up, “Shakespeare made it look easier, little light.”
“You can’t confess from a book, Shaxx!”
The week came to a close, and Shaxx was worried. He had not seen you since that day. The crucible was quiet without you. No explosions or team fights against one. Glorious grenade throws were lacking. He was bored. Commentating was still riveting, screaming at the top of his lungs as points racked up. He sighed by the great skull hung over his head and watched the sunset as he tried to think on what he could say.
“Lord Shaxx?” You asked quietly behind him, watching the skull overhead curiously as you approached.
Shaxx jumped in place, helmet turning quickly to face you, “Guardian, please, Shaxx is more than fine, you know this.” He turned to face you properly and placed his hands on his hips, “What can I help you with?”
Nerves swirled in your stomach, “I wanted to apologise…For not taking part in the event. You spent so much time working on it and I spent all of the week cooped up feeling sad…”
Shaxx held up his hand, “You have nothing to apologise for.” He took a deep breath and continued, listening to his Ghost cheer in his head, “I would not wish any companion in the world but you. Nor can imagination form a shape, besides yourself, to like of.”
“No don’t quote The Tempest you great Titan idiot!”
You opened your mouth only for him to continue.
“I know that was not…” Shaxx sighed as his Ghost battered itself around in his head.
“That was beautiful.” You commented as you pulled his hand away from his helm, “I had no idea you… felt that way. And I definitely didn’t expect the confession through a Shakespeare quote.” You joked as the Titan took your hands tightly.
“Seeing you upset brought me nothing but sadness. I did not tell you for I feared you had someone else. You are a hero. I expected you to sign up first with another. I am sorry it took me so long to find the words.” Shaxx drew you closer, pressing his helmet to your forehead, “I’m not particularly good with words.”
With a smile you kissed the bottom of his helmet, “I’m sorry as well. I…didn’t know how to tell you. You’re a legend, and I thought that asking you with all the other admirers would be tacky.” You looked up at the white and orange helmet before laughing, “Maybe we can make it up to each other with a match?” You asked.
The titan roared with laughter, grabbing you under the arms, twirling you easily in a circle, “You will not last a minute, Guardian! I will crush you!” He roared as you clutched at one another.
Hewwo again, if by chance your request are still open could you do a Lord Shaxx x reader? With “you look like shit” and “when was the last time you slept”? (to clarify Shaxx talking to reader) Shaxx don’t get enough love :3 Ps: your writing is amazing!
ough this is was a fun one! such a tough love but tender side of the big burly crucible handler. sorry, for such a delay, I hope you enjoy!
Lord Shaxx x Reader : A Place to Rest
You hadn’t been able to sleep much since Cayde died. It always felt like there was too much work to do. But really, it was the nightmares that kept you from rest. Phantoms that followed you on the Moon haunted your sleep. If you didn’t sleep, you didn’t have to be faced with your failure.
Since Cayde’s death and during your recurring nightmare induced insomnia, you found yourself spending more time in the Crucible, and concurrently, with Lord Shaxx. The Titan was surprisingly kind and tender, a completely different persona that you got to see when you two were alone. You teased him several times for going soft, especially on you. You couldn’t believe someone as decorated and infamous as Lord Shaxx could have a soft spot for you… that was, until you found yourself growing a soft spot for him.
He was one of the few people in the Tower who didn’t talk endlessly about Cayde. It was intentional, certainly, he knew how hard his death had hit so many Guardians. You were no exception. The two of you joked with each other all the time, you flirted with each other, and that banter kept you going. For a while, it kept your spirits up. But you were reaching a point where even the playful teasing was draining. Nothing could keep your spirits lifted for long.
Lord Shaxx must have noticed your changed mood. You were playing in the Crucible all hours of the day and night; you never stopped to take a break. Exhaustion had fried your brain, you were talking significantly less and you were running on post-resurrection fumes.
When you stopped by to pick up some new bounties, he told Arcite to take over for a bit and his hands clasped around your arms; he dragged you out of sight, but you didn’t have the energy to protest. Not that you could have resisted anyway, Shaxx was much, much stronger than you were.
“Y/N, you look like shit,” he scolded under his breath. You tried to wriggle yourself away from his grip. You really didn’t want to talk about this right now.
“Shaxx, really, I don’t have time for—”
The sudden touch of his hands reaching up to cup your jaw shut you up. His giant hands lifted your jaw and he studied your face from behind his helm, picking up on the dark circles under your eyes and heavy eyelids; your dehydrated complexion and weary gaze. You couldn’t speak as he stared at you.
“When was the last time you slept?” His voice was soft and filled with nothing but concern.
As much as you didn’t want to tell him, you crumbled. This was a different, clement side of him you’d never seen. The tenderness he was showing was making you melt. “I don’t know,” you whispered. “I-I don’t…”
“You do.” One of his hands cupped the back of your head and you leaned your cheek against the one that was still resting against your jaw.
“It’s been a long time,” you admitted. “Ever since the moon…”
“Maker, y/n… that was months ago…”
“I know, I know, it’s just… ever since we went to the moon… those phantoms…” You didn’t realize you were crying until he gently brushed away your tears. “They all look and sound like Cayde… I can’t sleep, every time I close my eyes…” You shuttered and hugged yourself, trying to back away and shield your mind from the visions of Cayde’s beaten body. “Every time I close my eyes… I’m stuck in that damn prison again…”
“Y/N, you still need to rest. You aren’t a help to anyone if you’re exhausted.”
“I can't, there's too much work to be done—”
“It wasn’t a suggestion, y/n.” Before you could ask him what he meant, he scooped you up in his arms and started to walk. Too tired to protest, you sighed and leaned your head on his shoulder. He carried you to a quieter area of the Tower; being carried in his arms the whole way was like being rocked to sleep. The room was like a private alcove. There was a lamp in the corner along with a very soft and comfortable looking bed. He flicked on the light, which filled the alcove with a soft, amber glow. Shaxx laid you down and pulled a lightweight blanket up to your chest.
“Shaxx… what is this place?” You yawned and gazed up into the face of his helm. You’d imagined a thousand times the man that hid behind it, but you respected him. You never asked to see his face. Maybe one day, when he was ready, he would show you who he was.
Shaxx’s hand brushed the hair off your face and the touch of his gloved fingers lingered on your skin. “A place to rest, y/n.”
A tired laugh left your lips and you rolled on your side; you gazed up at him and tucked your hands underneath your head. “So you… set up this little hideaway… for me? How long have you been planning to get me alone like this.”
“You haven’t been acting like yourself for a few weeks. I knew something was bothering you.”
“So you just… set this up without knowing that I haven’t slept in close to a month?”
“I started to notice your exhaustion last week. You’d barely spoken to me, the flirting stopped, and you never smiled.” His hand smoothed over your hair; the gentle motion was starting to lull you to sleep. But fear of being along, of having to face those phantoms alone, was keeping you awake.
“Will you stay with me?” You asked sleepily.
“Of course, y/n. There is no place I’d rather be.”
When you finally slipped into sleep, your dreams were the same dark, chilling nightmares that you’d been having for months. But you weren’t alone. This time, Shaxx was there, holding your hand.
Sorry I’ve been quiet and taking a moment to respond to some asks, I have been a bit busy but finally I am back! Take a really bad doodle of Eris Morn and Erianna-3 (;u;) Erianna doesn’t have a description so I just doodled a random warlock design I thought was nice and gave it the funky color pallets destiny usually has.
“i understand zavala, and i’ll follow your orders but i seriously think we need to think of taking a stealthier approach. send me and two other highly skilled stealth guardians and we’ll get it done.” zavala looked at you like you were stupid. “i’m not sending only three guardians in with no true insight of the ship layout. i’ll bring up your idea with the vanguard but that could take more weeks. we have no idea what we’re up against and i want to know before i go sending three of my most skilled guardians into a blind zone.” *sigh* you’re too tired for this. “you have a point sir. i’ll let you get back to your work.” you left zavala’s office with your head up...until you heard the office doors close. “finally” you sigh, letting your head fall. see, life has gotten a lot more frustrating and exhausting. since cayde died you’ve been incredibly lonely. it was hard accepting he was really gone.
you picked up other activities to get away from it. crucible was the one to take up most of your time, and, it was a positive. you were becoming closer to shaxx and it had probably been the first week in awhile you hadn’t felt completely lonely. he was great at distracting you from what happened. as you were making your way up the stairs you stopped by banshee’s setup to talk for a bit. unluckily, a lot of guardians were also there so that meant no banshee time. but, its not the end of the world. you kept walking and gave master rahool a polite greeting as you past by. you start making your way towards shaxx when you see he was talking to another guardian. by the looks of shaxx’s body language, he seemed to be trying to explain something to the young one. you respect shaxx and his students so you just stood off to the side waiting.
he notices you and quickly dismisses the other guardian. you start walking over towards him while shaking your head and smiling. “shaxx you didn’t have to send that guardian off i was fine wai-“ shaxx cut you off swiftly. “guardian? what are you doing here?” his voice sounding concerned. “what are you talking about?” i wanted to see you, and what bounties you’re offering.” your look went from happy to puzzled very quickly. “y/n...” shaxx lightly grabs your arm to pull you off to the side. “how long has it been?” this is starting to get odd. “shaxx what are you talking about?” what’s his deal? “have you seen your eyes y/n? they’re hollow black. you can tell you haven’t been sleeping. so, how long has it been since you actually slept?” you sigh. someone had to say something. someone always, has to say something. “shaxx, im alright. ikora asked me to help out with some extra paperwork a few days ago and it was a lot so i just stayed up for a couple of days and haven’t had the option to rest yet. it’s only my third day and trust me i plan on sleeping tonight.” you said with a faint smile. “you haven’t spoken to her in weeks. you even told me that.” now it’s awkward. shaxx crossed his arms, “you can’t lie to me about this. now please, let me take you home so you can rest.” his voice was so sad and soft. “the last thing i’d need is for you to get hurt in crucible fights because you cant stand up right.” he lightly said under his breath. as much as you hated it, he was right. what good are you to anyone if you can barely function? “okay, i promise i’ll rest but don’t feel the need to walk me home. i know i’m a bit wobbly but if you have work to do, i’m not gonna keep you from it. i can still walk myself home.” “not a chance, i wanna make sure you actually fall asleep.” you could tell he really cared about you. “just give me a few moments to gather my things.”
the walk was very silent but wasn’t ever awkward. the exhaustion was always with you but knowing you grew closer and closer to a bed made that tired feeling way worse. as you and shaxx were walking you held hands. sorta-ish? you held onto two of his fingers. the index and middle one. shaxx didn’t seem to mind it and neither did you so no one said anything about it.
as the two of you approached your home you started getting tense. sure everyone could tell you weren’t sleeping but no one knew you weren’t even staying in your own home. those damn memories of cayde flood your head every time you’re inside. truthfully, it was scary. never knowing if it’s going to be a happy memory or him taking his final breaths terrifies you. obviously to the point where you can’t even sleep in your own home. shaxx could tell you were tense considering once you got closer and closer, you didn’t realize but you were tightly gripping his fingers now. “guardian? are you alright?” you couldn’t shift your gaze from the home but still replied. “yes i’m alright, thank you for bringing me home.” a minute of silence passed before you broke it and looked over at shaxx. “if you’d like you can come in, grab a drink rest for a few minutes and then get back to the crucible.” “ah i finally get to see how one of my best players lives?” you know he said that with a smirk across his face. you couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.
you two entered your house and you offered to make some tea, which shaxx politely declined. he wanted the tea but you could tell he wanted you to rest more. “is there anything i can do to make you more comfortable? you’ve seemed very tense since we’ve got here.” should you tell him? should you not tell him? you’ve always kept to yourself but it’s like be makes it impossible for you not to share. he feels like the only one you don’t have to lie to. “shaxx, i have to be honest. the last time i slept was here, and the last time i’ve been here was almost a month ago.” you couldn’t directly look him in the eyes but could feel him looking down at you. “why didn’t you say anything sooner?” pride i guess... “i’m not sure, i thought maybe i could handle myself but i just ended up running away from it.” a singular sigh left shaxx’s mouth. “alright then, come on.” you were confused. “what do you mean? come where?” “your mattress y/n. you obviously are having trouble sleeping because of your nightmares, and i’m sure not having someone here either to comfort you isn’t helpful. so i’ll stay with you for the rest of the day that way if you do have a nightmare, you have someone to help you.” wow.. “shaxx, that’s incredibly nice and i truly appreciate it but i couldn’t ask you to do that. you still have the crucible to run and bounties to sell and guardians to teach and-“ shaxx cut you off before you continued to ramble on. “it’s alright, ive already worked things out to take the rest of the day off. the crucible can wait guardian, you can’t.” “are you sure?” “i’m positive, now! you must go rest!” he said in his “crucible” voice. you couldn’t help but giggle. as different as it was, shaxx did make you feel less lonely. maybe it’s time to accept that while cayde might be gone physically, it doesn’t mean you have to stop cherishing him through memories. maybe it’s a new path forward. “thank you shaxx, i greatly appreciate it.” you gave him a hug and asked if he needed anything else before going to bed. he simply shook his head and made a resting gesture. you smiled and went to your bedroom. you couldn’t deny that you felt very nervous but you just trusted your gut that if anything happened shaxx would be there, and hopefully, he’d still be there when you awoke.
