Nova being in team sketch for the long term and being awake all the time does have so much soft potential like I love the idea of imagining any member of team sketch getting their sleep schedule thrown off and they just. Go bother hang out with Nova lol
Probably chilling quietly but I like the idea of any of them actively seeking out to be with Nova when they are awake during the night. I dunno who (I'd want to refresh my memory on at least some of em to choose)(maybe Danna), but imagine one of them getting their schedule so thrown off they sleep during the day, awake at night, probably happens during a break from being on duty as a renegade or smthn, and they just get to bond with Nova a little
(And Nova also thinks it's kinda nice, and would miss it when they fix their schedule)
So do you have any headcamons for coming to the clan nd joining either pregnant or with a child and Paz immediately getting super protective over you?
whew
do i have headcanons
u bet ur ass i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have hcs for both and im in a good mood bc it's sinday so u get both!
coming to the clan and joining while pregnant
so i'm thinking if you're coming to the clan to join while pregnant, the one who got you pregnant is not in the picture
ofc, this could be for a few reasons, im leaning towards your partner being dead, but they could've run off and abandoned you too
but whatever way it happens, you're alone and pregnant, with little to no way to defend yourself
your village is attacked by pirates, and the nearby mandalorian covert comes over to help
the pirates had made it obvious they were looking for people to sell to slavers, and a pregnant woman sells pretty damn well, unfortunately
one of the surviving village members decides that this means it's your fault, so you're exiled
the mandalorians who'd stuck around to help are not happy to hear this, especially the large one in blue armor with heavy artillery
he immediately declares that you'll come with them, and will be welcome in their clan for as long as you require
stunned by the generosity, and with nowhere else to go, you accept
they're very kind, for all that you've heard about mandalorians as barbaric warriors, and their medic makes sure to give you a full checkup, and even gives you your very first ultrasound
your assimilation into the clan goes smoothly, but you can't help but notice your very big, very unsubtle blue shadow that follows you around and gets you anything and everything you need
it's weeks before you even learn his name, and even that's an accident, when the clan bounty hunter comes back and remarks that Paz seems very attached to you
you blink in confusion, especially when the bounty hunter-beroya, you remember from the mando'a lessons, literally facepalms to the amusement of his tiny gremlin kid
the beroya marches over to your shadow, Paz you know now, and they have a quick and heated discussion in mando'a far too fast for you to understand
but it was clearly about you, because afterwards, Paz becomes more than your shadow
he converses with you, eats with you, keeps you company, and even-at your request-attends your prenatal checkups with you
it's nice to have a friend, but you very quickly realize that what you're beginning to feel for your mandalorian shadow isn't friendship
especially not when you're in your bed late at night, horny as hell, and unable to really do anything about it with your stomach in the way
or when he sits close to you, his hand on your lower back for support, his low voice soothing and enticing in equal measures
or when you see him spar with other members of his clan, shirtless and sweaty, a huge mass of muscle, strong and vicious in ways that make you want
one night you're in your bed, nearly crying with frustration because you're so damn horny but you can't do a fucking thing about it
you're trying so hard to resist but you just can't anymore
so you fit one of your pillows between your legs, rocking back and forth to try and relieve the empty feeling inside you and to quell the fires burning in your belly
and in a moment of weakness, you call out Paz's name, lost in your fantasies
lo and behold, guess who happens to be walking by?? the man himself
he's worried you're hurt, so he comes inside, only to realize that you're definitely not injured
in literally any other instance you'd be embarrassed
but you've been sexually frustrated for months and the man of your literal dreams is standing in front of you
you snap that he can either come and help you or he can leave, but if he doesn't do something you might actually scream
he snaps out of his shock and decides there are worse things than getting to worship your body like he's been dreaming about
in the aftermath of your... ahem, activities, laying in bed with Paz, he whispers a confession that he wants more than just the occasional fuck
you're looking at him, hoping and praying he's saying what you think he's saying
he tells you that he thinks he might be in love with you, and if you'll permit him, he'll marry you and bring you into his clan, and if you wish it, he'll say the gai bal manda to your child, but even if you don't, he'll still love them and ensure they're raised to want for nothing
you kiss him, because you don't have the words to explain just how much you want that too, and you'll take anything and everything he offers you
coming to the clan and joining with a child
so, in this hc, i'm vibing with the idea that your ex was abusive in some manner, and so fearing for your lives, you flee him with your child
except the problem is he's rich, and he hates the idea that you escaped him, because in his mind you belong to him, so he hires Din to "retrieve his property"
Din takes the job, and upon realizing that "property" means you and your kid, he immediately abandons the job (bc he's got a kid of his own now and like hell is he gonna make the same mistake twice) and brings you to the covert
they're all equally furious as Din, to your surprise
Paz (who i've just decided is the Mand'alor in this hc) takes Din aside and tells him to go "take care" of your ex quietly
and then he immediately assigns himself as your protector
now, coming from an abusive relationship, you're v skittish around men, and even though your ex wasn't particularly large or physically intimidating, he still hurt you so the back of your mind is saying that Paz has the potential to be far more dangerous even if you haven't seen any examples of that
so you're very much shy around him and often v scared and skittish
it makes Paz so sad to see but he understands, and keeps his distance while also making sure to do whatever he can to make you feel safe
now your kid on the other hand
they're old enough, i'm thinking 8-10?
they're used to being afraid of dear old dad and also feeling hopeless about not being able to protect their momma
so being brought into a covert of warriors who have zero issues training children from a young age to fight??
they're ecstatic!
because not only can they protect themselves, they can get strong enough to protect you too
and they see Paz as the head of the covert and the heavy artillery master, and they imprint like a baby duckling
they follow him around and try to mimic him in everything he does
the entire covert thinks it's adorable
Paz is worried at first that you'll be upset since you're so skittish around him
but you decide to see how it plays out, and honestly it's kind of a test, because you've often found the easiest way to see the measure of a person is how they treat kids
and Paz absolutely loves your little one
he's so good and patient with them, he takes their training seriously and often personally trains with them
your kiddo loves them too, and Paz helps them acclimate so damn well
which is why when you find your kiddo sobbing in your rooms one afternoon apologizing for being the reason that you'll have to leave the covert you're very concerned
after much prying you find out your baby accidentally called Paz the word for 'dad' in your language, and now thinks Paz is going to kick the two of you out
you don't know how to fix this, but you know you have to try, because Paz is the first good and positive male figure they've been able to latch on to in their life and you don't want them to lose this, and also you really don't want to leave either
so you go to find Paz, and you find him on his throne, clearly very lost in thought
he's shocked to see you seeking him out, but he begins to apologize, because while he didn't understand the word your kid said, he was worried he'd done something to hurt them, and you'd put your trust in him that he wouldn't so he's afraid you've come to yell at him
you cross your arms and very sternly inform him that your child has come to see Paz in a father figure role, and you need to know how he feels about this, because if he's going to reject your baby, you need to know so you can attempt to mitigate the heartbreak
Paz stares at you for a moment and asks what you'd do if he said he'd be honored if your kid thought of him as a father and that he would ask your permission to adopt your kid as well to help your baby understand that Paz isn't going anywhere and that he's wanted
you're moved, practically to tears, all the fight draining out of you
you never could've imagined your baby getting this, and all you wanna do is say yes, so you begin to nod and agree, so overwhelmed
which is when Paz stands from his throne and makes his way towards you, where he tells you that as much as he loves your kid, he'd also be interested in starting something with you, that he admires you so much, and you've raised your kid so well, and he would like nothing more than to begin courting you
you're struck dumb, but you're also flattered, and you can't deny that seeing how Paz acts with your child gives you hope for how he might treat you as a partner
so, you agree to a tentative courtship, which quickly blossoms into more
...
i might have gotten carried away, but I hope you enjoy these!! maybe I'll turn them into stories down the road!
It’s just a wip but I hvnt been doing the greatest!! So in my spiraling I cooked this up, sorry for being so late, it’ll probably take another month or two to finish if I don’t work on it during break. @askinsomniafukase (sorry for tagging)
