#summer's headcanons

[dreaming-of-the-end]

Kam hcs <3

@spellbound-fire​ your loves and lives, keefe and tam the dearests

Keefe has painter’s fingers and Tam has musician’s fingers

they’re an artistic couple. obviously. keefe with his painting sketching drawing sculpting skills, tam with his guitar piano flute combo (he sings a little too)

so keefe makes Tam a custom guitar for his birthday with shadows and clouds and lightning piercing the side of it, little sparks of sunlight and fire tracing the other side. (”it’s us,” tam realizes, and keefe grins)

so tam writes keefe a song for birthday, a poem, words stitched together into something he loves attached to a melody. it’s love wrapped in a metaphor. (”it’s me,” keefe says, and tam smiles)

keefe can’t sing and tam can’t draw so of course they dare each other to switch hobbies for a day

keefe puts on a concert, air guitar solo with cracking vocals and offbeat stomps. tam spends a day in the painting studio drawing a blobby face with spiky straw hair on it and signs his name in swooping letters

keefe wants to learn guitar. tam wants to teach him.

he pulls the oldest trick in the book: standing behind keefe, arms over arms, back against chest, fingers showing him where the chords are. they write a song together, but it doesn’t matter what the words are.

so keefe teaches tam how to model for his paintings. chin on fist, elbow on knee, legs crossed. keefe follows tam around for a good month after: draw me like one of your french girls, darling, but he gives tam the finished product

the finished product: that mole on tam’s neck no one knows is there but linh and keefe, the shadows under his eyes that make him look young instead of tired, musician fingers caught running through silver bangs, barest hint of a laugh with the dimple that only appears when he smiles. all the little details

(that’s them. all the little details)

for the au headcanons ask game, just pick ur favorite au to talk about!! (I don't know any specifically sorry but I do want to hear about them)

Favorite AU: Royal

Chosen ship: Kam

psssttt i've written this before (just not on tumblr)

Anyways so prince x thief. guess who is who? it could honestly be either

but right now we're going with prince tam x thief keefe! for extra spice we could throw in an arranged marriage between the two. but keefe is working for... idk, some sort of rebellion. like maybe the black swan

On their engagement dinner Tam takes a walk, because obviously he's pissed that he's being forced to marry. he's doing his duty, but he's bitter that his sister is allowed to marry whoever she wants (say, a guard? named sophie? who also happens to be part of the rebellion?)

so he's taking a walk. Keefe has also mysteriously disappeared. general assumption is the lovebirds are making out somewhere private

surprise surprise, when Tam goes into the room that contains the crown jewels (to remind himself why he's doing this, mayhaps)

What does he see? Keefe, doing an expert job of shoving the crown jewels into a sack

Tam, obviously, says, "Ayo. Fiancee. Hello?"

And Keefe is like "Bestie you're supposed to be at our engagement dinner... am I a bad influence on you"

ensuing snarky remarks. Tam is ready to slap this mf

"Keefe you absolute whore of a man. why are you ROBBING ME"

Keefe: "I'm robbing myself. what's yours is mine <3333 love you" and then he literally just leaves and Tam is like ?????????? ok I guess???

He goes back to the dinner and is about to tell his father until he realizes... hang on. I hate my father. So he DOESN'T tell, and a few minutes Keefe slips back in and gives him a wild but nervous grin, and Tam smiles back before he realizes why

So anyway I'm feral about them

[dreaming-of-the-end]

Would you be interested in making headcanons for Tam and Linh adjusting to living in Tiergan’s home? It’s barely ever mentioned in the books but I think it’d be really interesting, I totally get if you don’t want to and I respect your decision and hope you have a great day either way!

-Tiergan's house is smaller than most, but it still had enough space for Tam and Linh to have separate rooms for the first time in their lives

-they refused

-it wasn't because they missed each other or didn't want their own space, it was because nothing in their life had ever been stable, and they wanted to be together if (when) Tiergan kicked them out or got done with them

-in the same state, they kept their bags packed

-Linh had little knickknacks and tiny items decorating the room, making it a little more homey, but all the important stuff she kept in the new bags Tiergan got them when he saw their old knapsacks

-Tam let Linh decorate "his area" (although it was more both of their areas, since they'd been living together for so long), but he didn't put up ANY of his drawings or school things

-(he does, however, sketch their room so he'll remember it when they inevitably have to leave. it'll be a reminder never to settle anywhere that isn't all and completely theirs)

-Tam and Linh keep the room impeccably neat and clean so Tiergan won't have MORE reason to kick them out

-essentially, they don't trust their luck. it's bad for a while

-after a month or so, Tiergan makes them breakfast. he makes their favorites (sweet for Tam, savory for Linh) that he knows after seeing what they have made for themselves for a month

-and that just... shocks them. because they've had to be self reliant for ever and their parents hardly ever remembered to make breakfast for them. and this wasn't a requirement or necessary

-so maybe Tiergan did truly want them there

-and they begin to truly settle in, and they have family dinners on the nights Tiergan or the twins aren't busy. And sometimes Wylie is there during breaks, and they begin to get closer too

-Wylie, more than anything else, convinces them that they're safe. because even though he has more connection to Tiergan than they do, he has been through enough that he wouldn't lie to them

-and then Tam pins his first drawing to the wall, and Tiergan sees it when he enters the room to ask him a question, and compliments it, and...

-(the next day, Linh doesn't make her bed)

-(the week after that, Tam paints on the floor of his bedroom)

-maybe they are home

[dreaming-of-the-end]

I’m sorry if I’m bothering you. Your Tam/Linh/Tiergan headcanons were really great! If you have any thoughts about what their life would be like once they’ve kind-of settled in, I’d really like the hear what they are! If not, I completely understand and I hope your day is great either way, once again!

you aren't bothering me, it's nice getting hc requests !

(Song Twins Settling In)

hmmmmm

-sometimes, Tam speaks a little too loudly and freezes as he waits for Tiergan to get mad at him

-sometimes, Linh forgets that she's able to come downstairs with her brother when there are guests over

-but these moments are becoming rarer and rarer

-perhaps Linh finds out she has a passion for watercolor, and she draws flowers and waves and tries and fails to make people. they laugh at the little blobby faces she makes

-perhaps Tam shows a poem to Wylie, and Wylie is shocked by how good it is, and tells him how talented he is

-they don't have friends over (because Tiergan has no plans to adopt them, especially since their parents still can contest that. because they have their own rhythm and someone new might interrupt it) but they tell them how they're doing

-they eat three meals a day. they sleep well every night. the only sneaking around they have to do is, perhaps, going to the bathroom in the middle of the night when they don't want to wake each other up

-A few months after they move in, they thank Sophie, because if she hadn't asked their names and helped Linh and trusted them... they would still be going to Exillium, still be starving, still be living on a whisper of safety that could never support them.

-so they thank sophie, and Tam gives her a hug, and Linh holds her hand, and maybe they cry a little bit

-Tiergan lays down some ground rules, of course, because he raised Wylie as a teenager and he is still a parent

-the rules are to tell him when they are uncomfortable. to ask for help. no sneaking out on deadly missions without leaving a note. no finishing the mallowmelt in the cabinet and leaving the container there for him to put away.

-and even though they should be used to his relaxed rules... they are surprised. maybe this is freedom.

-Linh invites Marella over to the house after asking Tiergan for permission, and they cut Linh's bangs over a trashcan in her bathroom

-hair gets all over the floor and sink, and Linh feels that rush of nerves, but they clean it up, and then they go to the kitchen and Tiergan looks at her and smiles, and says he likes her haircut

-Tam practices his shadowflux in the grounds next to the house, and he is hurt in some way. maybe a bit of shadowflux hits a tree and sends a branch into his arm. either way, his arm is bleeding, and Linh is at the Vacker's , and he can't bandage himself with one arm

-he tries to sneak back in, and Tiergan sees his arm, and reminds him of rule number 2: ask for help. and then there are quick but gentle fingers bandaging Tam's arm up, and he smiles

-Linh paints the walls of their room. Tam makes dinners three times a week. Linh puts flowers on the windowsills. Tam can be heard singing in the shower. Linh does cartwheels on the grass. Tam trips Keefe, but helps him back up.

-Changes, but good ones. Progress, and maybe only the progress that comes with stability.

-and they are home

🌸 genyalina my beloved if you want a domestic au that would be great ajdhaj- /gen

And i already congratulated you but with caps now-

HONEY 200???? YOU ARE SO FAST SO GREAT YOU ARE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND SO PRPUD I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG AND AHHHH 🥳🥳🥳

ahemmityhem

-Alina is the kind to just walk up behind people and sorta drape herself over them

-when she first did this, Genya got fake mad ("YOU MESSED UP MY HAIR YOU DEMON")

-but then Alina just kept on doing it and now Genya just kinda reaches up and pats her cheek

-sometimes they bake

-(neither of them can bake)

-by the time they're done there's just. flour and dough and random stuff EVERYWHERE all over the kitchen

-Genya complains about her ruined clothes and hair until Alina throws chocolate at her and stains it even more

-(then Genya throws jelly at her and it's all over-)

-they go on walks a LOT. Enjoying their freedom, being able to be outside, breathing in the fresh hair, holding hands

-there's a nice river near their house with stepping stones

-Genya, of course, manages to cross every time without even getting her dress wet until Alina pushes her in

-Alina, on the other hand, ALWAYS manages to slip and get her shoes soaked and all that good stuff. She complains horribly about her wet socks and pants

-Genya laughs at her pain, but she towels off her wife's feet and legs when they get home gently and presses a kiss to each of her fingertips

-oh my god fingertip kisses I'm sorry I'm just gonna pass away

-anyway

-Alina picks flowers on the way home and she likes hiding them in special places for Genya to find

-sticking out of her shoes, on her pillow, in the sink

-Genya smiles and sticks them in her hair, and Alina always gets super happy when she sees her wearing them

-them

AHHHHH TY NOAHHHH 🥺🥺🥺

📖

And ummmm 🎀 with piper

📖 for one of the writing ideas I have saved

🎀 for headcanons: Piper

One of the gifts Aphrodite's kids have that's never mentioned is dancing

which she probably intended for like... slow dancing, tango, yadda yadda

but Piper likes to breakdance

you can IMAGINE Piper just spinning on her neck

she literally just uses that for every argument.

(Jason/Shel: Piper you're always late to our dates it's not cool

Piper: *slowly breakdances for forgiveness*)

but seriously

she teaches Annabeth too (who ofc has a natural talent) and tries to teach Percy but he just Cannot and almost injures himself

also you know her knife? Katstrposoand or Poptropica or Katropics whatever it's called? well she carries it EVERYWHERE

including school! it doesn't set off any metal detectors, maybe because of the Mist (which makes it look like a sharpie, btw)

(this also leads to a classmate asking to borrow her sharpie and Piper's like "if they draw on themselves with this I Will Be Sued uh oh")

Piper is the sort to kiss her partner in public just out of the blue.

Shelly will be saying something that Piper finds cute and Piper will just pull her in for a kiss

Shel: what was that for?

Piper: because I wanted to

I love her a lot

CONGRATULATIONS ON 300 FOLLOWERS SUMS IM SO PROUD YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD MY CHILD!!!!!!

For the celebration!! 💌💕🤠

And 🎀 heskter please <33

Ilysm babe im so happy for you so so happy 🥺❤❤❤❤❤

AHHHHHHHHHH NOAH TYYY <333

💌 for one of the drafts I have saved randomly

💕 for a love ramble

Where do I START??? babe just!!! your TALENT??? your gifsets and writing and art??? save some for the rest of us 😭😭 COME ON THEY’RE AMAZING. I love talking to you!!! it makes me so happy when I get an ask or dm from you and I just!!!!! you’re so enthusiastic about everything and it’s so wonderful, I think meeting you in person would be a dream come true! You remain one of the only people who knows anything about my wip and the person who knows MOST about it which I think is fabulous bc you inspire me every day!!! ilysm darling never change <3333

🤠 for a random fact about me

Cringe culture sucks but I think people who like steamed vegetables are actually so cringy and gross (/j) because it’s so disgusting

🎀 for headcanons: Hekster

Stina is Only soft around Sophie (of course)

which means that the others are CONSTANTLY asking Sophie how she puts up with her without at least slapping her once (good naturedly, that is)

and Sophie just answers “because I want to.”

and they’re like???? sophie that’s not an answer

and she says “yeah.” 

and then she and stina go on a picnic and stina puts flowers in sophie’s hair

anywaysss Stina is the type to place things on Sophie’s head just randomly.

Like Sophie will be sitting down reading and suddenly there will be A Blanket on her head and Stina will laugh and run away

There is cuddling!!! So Much Cuddling

Sophie’s main love language is touch and Stina’s secondary love language is touch so there is a lot of sitting in each other’s laps

not sitting exactly. More like... Stina will be sitting on the couch or bed and Sophie will drape herself on top of her and Stina will drape the top half of her body over Sophie. Sophie is a sandwich and Stina manages to be both slices of bread

Stina likes laying her head in Sophie’s lap!! 

then they discover that Stina really Really likes it when Sophie plays with her hair

so Sophie will sit down and Stin will just sit down in front of her and lay her head backwards onto Sophie’s legs and bother her until Sophie drops whatever she’s doing and plays with her hair

Yeah. Soft.

🌸 for Sophitz and kam

For Sophitz-

-Sophie may be a clumsy accident waiting to happen, but she loves climbing

-trees, rocks, whatever she can get more than two feet off the ground on, she loves

-you know those rock things at the edges of gardens? Well, she loves walking along them, pretending she’d on a tightrope, wobbling back and forth

-when she and Fitz are on walks, they’ll be holding hands, and she’ll see something to climb and kinda glance at him. he’ll nod and chuckle and let go of her hand

-and she’ll just scamper over to the climbing thing and have a lot of fun, and Fitz will either hold her hand as she walks along it, or stand beneath her to catch her if she falls, or just watch, laughing at how much fun she’s having

-sometimes, he climbs up next to her

-they’ll sit on a large rock or wall or something, just holding hands

-Sophie puts her head on Fitz’s shoulder

-he rests his cheek on her head

-and they talk, or sometimes they just sit there, enjoying each other’s company

For Kam-

-Keefe and Tam both have horrible nightmares

-Keefe of his childhood, his time with the Neverseen, what he did to his friends, the shadowflux and Enki’s throne, all his failed plans. He dreams of his friends running away from him like he did all those times, and he’s terrified that they won’t come back because of him

-Tam has nightmares about his childhood, being separated from Linh, drowning, always drowning, shooting Shadowflux into Keefe’s skin, his time with the Neverseen, being restrained/in chains, and, like Keefe, all his friends running away. They don’t come back, and it’s all his fault.

-When Tam wakes up screaming, Keefe is there to brush back his hair and hold him until he stops shivering (”I’m here. I’ll stay with you. I’m not leaving, I promise”)

-When Keefe gasps himself awake (he doesn’t scream. he’s learned to be terrified quietly) and shoots upright in bed, Tam is there to gently rub his back and cup his cheeks and scatter gentle kisses on his nose and cheeks (”You’re safe with me, I won’t hurt you, I’m here, I promise”)

-To deal with nightmares, Keefe paints. his favorite thing to paint is Tam, especially after the nightmares where everyone leaves him. He draws him everywhere 

-sometimes his paintings are silly, with Tam laying on the ground with a random animal on his back and Linh splashing water over his head and Dex’s machines exploding in glitter and the sun with Marella’s head spewing profanities in the background 

-sometimes, they were somber, with all the friends in a huddle, sad looks on their faces. there were lonely towers and dangerous ripples in the shield surrounding Atlantis

-sometimes, they were downright terrifying; flames roared, shadows poured across the word, branches scraped against his skin

-but the brush on the canvas soothed him

-once, Keefe tried to teach Tam to paint. they ended up getting into a paint fight, flinging it every which way until they were completely covered in the stuff (”GODAMMIT TAM NOT THE HAIR. HAIR IS OFF-LIMIT-”)

-After that, Tam decided that he should just watch

-and watch he did; Tam loved watching Keefe paint, loved the way Keefe’s face scrunched in concentration, loved how relaxed he was, how at peace he seemed

-and Keefe loved how much Tam liked watching him paint. sometimes, he would glance over and meet his eyes, and a soft smile would curl Tam’s lips, and Keefe would think “now that is a look from someone in love” and then he would smirk and go back to his painting

-(maybe he’d intentionally pose weirdly just for fun)
