Another completed flatcolor commission for @Raidendefender of Raiden in a sword fighting sparring match with my Twinfell Papyrus

48 HOURS A.E || TAIDEN

Tara had been living in hell for the last two days, terrified her every move was being watched. She had already noted that the common thread for all the photos was her, and that made her all the more paranoid. And who the hell was the she? Her best guess was Jaiden but… that didn’t make any sense? She knew about her and Schlatt kissing, and the kiss with Rose happened before Tara had even met Jaiden! Why would any of that matter?

She tried not to fixate on it, tried to listen to Schlatt and just pretend everything was normal but she couldn’t. She didn’t feel safe being alone anymore, she was scared of the texts she sent, scared to talk around any electronics, constantly looking over her shoulder. To say the least, she was spiraling. Maybe that’s how she ended up at Jaiden’s door, knocking gently. Maybe she needed a safe place, maybe she needed to get the hell out of Alpha. Either way, she was now standing in front of her door, anxiously knocking. She should have texted before showing up, should have warned her. But her phone was still in her room, locked in a drawer as if that would keep her safe somehow.

The ultimate masterpost for all Taiden (Talon x Aiden) shippers <3

Aiden and Talon are both characters of my story The Knights of the Alder. In the story itself they’re not a thing*, but they hold a very special place in my heart so I write lots of scenarios and aus for them. I gathered them all here for all my fellow Taiden fans.

* in my mind they’re pretty much canon, they’re just not there yet in the story, since the focus of the story I like to tell is not on (their) romance

Persephone and Hades AU

-> just a teeny tiny scene

The god of death (Talon) and his lover (Aiden) have to part once again

Season deities AU

-> more if a concept instead of real writing but still good

Winter (Talon) makes way for his love, spring (Aiden)

Arranged marriage AU (Silver Lining)

-> a whole fan-fic like story, three chapters so far

Aiden, son of a lower ranked noble house, gets engaged to Talon, the heir of an influential family. They are not really happy about it. At first, at least.

Possible Future AU

-> the au is mostly about them so you can check it out but this is the one with both of them in it

Reunion

After years spent apart, ex-lovers Talon and Aiden meet up again to talk.

Angel and Demon AU

-> again the whole au is worth checking out, it’s pure Taiden

Immortal love

Angel Aiden and demon Talon discuss love

Remembering heaven

Demon Talon thinks about the change in his relationship to a certain angel

Wings

Aiden asks Talon why he never uses his wings. The reason for it lies in a past the demon can’t seem to let go

Modern AU

Take a Break

The final exams are close and Talon studies for them obsessively. Aiden tries to get his boyfriend to take a break

Back Home

Talon picks up Aiden from the airport. It’s been a year since their relationship break and they haven’t seen each other since, so he’s nervous

About Christmas Dinners and how to escape them

Talon is stuck with his annoying relatives for the family’s Christmas dinner. Luckily his boyfriend comes to the rescue.

Babysitting

Talon and Aiden look after Aiden’s niece and nephew while Aiden’s brother and his husband are out on a date

Curative Cuddles

Talon is sick and, even worse, hasn’t received any boyfriend hugs all week.

Lunch Break

Maya makes a lunch break discovery

Anastasia AU

-> link to the whole au cause it’s the best I couldn’t possibly decide for just a few pieces of it

I think you all know the story. If not, check out the summary in the linked post. Aiden is the lost prince, Talon the con man that finds him - without knowing he did.

Knights of the Alder Leader Aiden AU

The New Second in Command - Part 1

The new leader has chosen a second. Cameron is not happy about it

The New Second in Command - Part 2

Talon and Aiden are well aware of the rumors about them. Talon can’t say he minds them much, except for one

Everything for him

Aiden asks Talon for a favor

Member of the Knights of the Alder Talon AU

The prison guard

Aiden got captured by the Knights. Talon is tasked to guard him. He’d be lying if he said he isn’t a little curious.

Short little bonus scene

In which Talon flirts with “his” prisoner

Other scenarios / AUs

-> these are mostly short scenarios or scenes from au ideas, some of which might as well be canon, the others not

Only for warmth

Aiden and Talon have to share a blanket

The Guard

Talon gets a new job

The Kiss

Aiden just won’t shut up. So Talon makes him

The Nickname

Aiden wonders what the foreign word Talon keeps calling him means. Maya helps him understand

King and Knight

For Talon, Aiden is royalty

Kit Mates

Talon helps Aiden to put on his armor

Catch me

Aiden triggers a vision and passes out. Luckily Talon is there

Aflame (Fire Bearer AU)

Until Aiden kissed him, Talon never knew that the warmth of a flame could feel so pleasant

Sacrifice (Alder Spirit Aiden AU)

Aiden gave his life to the alder in order to save it. Talon worries that it was all in vain

Remember me (not really an au but not canon either)

Talon refuses to let go. Aiden tries to help him

God-Chosen AU

After helping protecting his village Aiden gets rewarded by the god of the hunt and made his god-chosen, the highest of all priests.

Masterpiece AU

Art student Aiden visits his favorite painting in the art museum, where he meets a boy who looks hauntingly familiar.

Even more modern AU Taiden headcanons because I'm obsessed with their relationship

Talon is always cold and Aiden is his natural heat pack

Aiden gets tan when he's in the sun for quite a while but Talon is the type of person who gets sunburned instantly. like, his skin has only two shades: paperwhite and red

Talon gets pretty clingy when he's sick (Aiden finds it adorable)

the first time Talon called him baby Aiden legit malfunctioned

at first Talon found it annoying that Aiden kept stealing his shirts, but now he finds it endearing

he especially likes it when Aiden steals his volleyball jersey because it has his last name on it and he likes seeing his last name on Aiden and no he would never admit that

Talon likes leaving love bites on Aiden, especially where people can see (he's the tiniest bit possessive)

he also has a, how Aiden says "almost unhealthy obsession with my hands"

Aiden loves forehead kisses, Talon kisses his temple every morning before he leaves for work

and cuddling! he likes having Talon close to him

whenever they have a fight (what doesn't happen often anymore these days thankfully) Aiden often ends up at Halea's and Maya's place. Maya would often call Talon like "come here and make up with your boyfriend, him and Halea are eating all my ice cream." and Talon usually comes over and apologizes

sometimes on weekends they listen to music while preparing breakfast together and more than once end up dancing around to the music

Talon makes playlists for Aiden. Aiden is obsessed with them

they love going to concerts or to the movies together

they still tease each other a lot, banter is one of their love languages

during their study sessions Talon would reward Aiden with kisses when he did something right. Aiden tried extra hard because of that

sometimes they talk to each other in French just for fun, because Talon is fluent and Aiden studied in Canada for a year and therefore knows it a bit too

Aiden says "I love you" first and Talon is absolutely baffled

the first time Talon said it first was when Aiden had that little breakdown in their final high school year because he was afraid everyone would leave him again

actually the first time Talon openly says that he loves Aiden isn't to Aiden himself, but to his father, when they have a fight and his father is making a comment about Aiden

they both don't necessarily need words to let the other know that they love them tho, they both have their own ways

Talon and Aiden are actually quite successful in calming the other down/cheering them up when things get tough, they both have their issues and insecurities and learned to deal with that, to be what the other needs right now

idk but I think they would like to shower together sometimes?

Aiden can cook and he loves cooking together with Talon, even though Talon can't really cook. but together it works. sometimes they're too lazy tho so they order take out, usually when they have a movie night

Aiden, being an early-riser, often likes to go on a walk / jogging in the morning and when he comes back he always makes coffee for his still sleeping boyfriend, sometimes he even buys him pastries

Aiden likes sitting on Talon's lap and Talon likes putting his arms around him and resting his chin on Aiden's head

when they share a bed they always end up tangled into each other or spooning, no matter in which position they fall asleep in

I could go on and on with more headcanons honestly

but this is getting too long again I should stop. yeah... love my boys. and I love their relationship.

bonus:

this is basically them during their final exams in high school

Okay I'm talking about modern AU Taiden non-stop and I could for all eternity but also let me share some canonverse Taiden hcs with you this time:

assuming that they end up together sometime after the events of The Knights of the Alder

whenever Aiden visits the Willow Court Talon is assigned as his personal guard

Henry insists on a guard because he wants to make sure his brother is save and he thinks Aiden would feel more comfortable when it would be someone he knew

you know the two weren't really fond of each other when they first met but they became friends over time so though Talon is annoyed about having to "babysit" Aiden at first both get used to it with time and got even closer that way

Talon becomes quite protective of Aiden, not that he would ever admit it, but he's very determined to keep his friend save

I think at some point both start crushing on each other but never act on it (mutual pining at its finest)

okay but I actually have a headcanon about their first kiss

they're on a feast, right, and Talon has to look after Aiden, but he somehow manages to lose Aiden in the crowd, he's already starting to get a bit worried (both about Aiden and losing his job) when he finally finds him

he's with some other random fae who's shamelessly flirting with Aiden and Aiden is kinda getting along with it cause he's pretty much drunk because the fae gave him a sip of their fae wine and that's nothing you should give a mortal ever because it makes them kinda high (but since in this case it was just a sip it's not that bad, don't worry)

that of course rings Talon's alarm and after yelling and cursing at the fae he pulls Aiden away from them and takes him outside the ballroom for him to come to senses again and also for Talon himself to calm down because he's furious

Aiden complains of course and they bicker and at one point Aiden says something along the lines of "just because you don't want (to kiss?) me, doesn't mean that no one does" and makes some witty comments and Talon just wants him to stop talking so he kisses him. twice.

after that incident things are a bit distant between them because Talon doesn't think Aiden remembers (even though he does), also he has a bad conscience because he feels like he took advantage of Aiden being drunk and Aiden on the other hand doesn't bring it up cause he thinks Talon doesn't talk about the kiss because it didn't matter to him and oh well you can see where this is going

eventually they talk about it tho and sort things out and finally end up together

"I'm sorry that I kissed you back then." "I am not."

Aiden doesn't live in faerie all the time but he often visits and he visits even more when he starts dating Talon

Talon on the other hand would sometimes visit Aiden in the human world and Aiden teaches him a lot about humans

I imagine they would like to travel together a lot, showing each other their worlds and exploring new things

for example, I could imagine that they visit some wild fae clans. both are curious about those and Aiden, being part of the Wild Hunt, has already made some wild fae acquaintances that invited him, also it would be good for diplomatic purposes (to strengthen the bond of the wild fae to the fae of the Willow court and understand each other better)

during their stay at one of the fae clan villages they get tattoos together (yes wild fae do tattoos - or something pretty similar to that)

Aiden gifts Talon his necklace with the crow pendant at some point, with Talon giving him a brooch with his family crest in return, so that they have something of the other when they are separated

they write each other letters (love letters, yay)

I don't know yet if Aiden would eventually move to the faerie realm completely, but at least till the death of his father he'll totally stay in the human world (apart from his visits I mean)

speaking of fathers, Talon's father wasn't all too pleased with his son's choice, but Talon wasn't having any of it

I'm not gonna talk about problems they may have to face and I'm totally not gonna talk about Aiden's mortality because I want to cheer myself up with this not make it worse. positive content only.

the two still practice swordfigting together, sword fight sessions often turn into make-out sessions tho xD

Talon is very attentive, always making sure that Aiden is comfortable and content

I have this hc that when Aiden grows older Talon makes himself look a bit older too (with glamour), so Aiden doesn't feel odd

they like to go stargazing together

Talon always kept his hair short and straight, but Aiden likes how it gets the tiniest bit curly around the edges when it's just a bit longer, so Talon let's his hair grow out a bit more then usual

he is also kinda insecure about how tall and lanky he is? but Aiden makes him feel better about it

Aiden's brown eyes are plain compared to the fae's gem stone eyes, but for Talon that's what makes them especially beautiful. they're so dark and deep and some days he feels like he could drown in them

Talon often kisses Aiden's hand(s) and forehead and Aiden always giggles when he does it and it's adorable

when they share a bed, Aiden always hugs Talon close and Talon likes it because it makes him feel save, also he likes to listen to Aiden's heartbeat

no one would've expected the two to work out and last so long, but they did, till the very end

they've never been as lovey-dovey and open about it as Callan and Henry, but they really love each other

there's still banter and teasing in their relationship and sometimes they quarrel but they always made up somehow

even in canon Talon is always the one who's feeling cold and Aiden is the one to keep him warm

Aiden loves it when Talon plays the violin so he often asks Talon to play for him. and he does.

I could go on but this is too long already ahaha, I'll stop now. Anyway, I love these two. They may not be canon in the main story, but they still have a great future ahead of them 😌
