stiles stilinski and mara grady for the character meme
Sexuality Headcanon:
Stiles: BisexualMara: Heterosexual
Gender Headcanon:
Stiles: I could picture him as genderfluid pretty easily. Or, at the very least, fluid in his gender expression.Mara: Cis female, but I definitely imagine she was one of those women who refused to sit pretty in that “proper lady” box that people may have tried to push her into.
A ship I have with said character:
Stiles: Stiles/Derek; Stiles/Parrish (possibly); Stiles/Lydia; Stiles/Erica. It all kind of depends on how things play out in whatever AU, but I definitely like him Derek.Mara: Mara/Earl
A BROTP I have with said character:
Stiles: Stiles/Scott; Stiles/Lydia; Stiles/EricaMara: Mara & Chester. I think if Beverly and Mara paired up to organize something that the world around them should tremble in fear and do whatever they’re told. (Aaaand now I want to see them organize some kind of event together. Not necessarily a real wedding. Maybe a charity event.)
A NOTP I have with said character:
Stiles: Stiles/ScottMara: Uhh... I can think of a lot of NOTPs if I try, but we’ll just say anyone other than Earl.
A random headcanon:
Stiles: Definitely a spark/magical. He got adept at lying after his mother died so that people would stop asking him if he was okay, it eventually became easy enough that it’s his first instinct in most situations.Mara: I can’t picture having been a housewife her whole life. I think she had some kind of career that was super important to her for most of her life and that she retired from said career, very happily, a couple years before the Cut & Run series started.
General Opinion over said character:
Stiles: Angry, confused, has a lot of love to give, but doesn’t necessarily know how to let his walls down to do it. Very used to coming in second place to other responsibilities and relationships in the lives of people he cares about.Mara: A very proud mother, but anyone who expects her to fit perfectly into a narrow description of the word mother is going to be put in their place pretty quick by her.
HP AU: So like I kind of imagine the Grady's to Nick are kind of like the Weasley's to Harry. So Imagine their first year at Christmas. Nick stays at Hogwarts because why would he go home? And he really isn't expecting any presents from anyone. But imagine him waking up to a handful of packages from the Grady's and one of Mara's handmade sweaters which he wares with pride even though Ty makes fun of his.
THE GRADYS BEING THE FAMILY TO NICK HE DESERVES. MARA CALLING HIM “HER BOY” AND EARL “SON” THE FIRST TIME THEY MEET AND IT’S SO NATURAL FOR THEM BUT NICK IS SPEECHLESS
MARA KNITTING THE PRETTIEST GREEN SWEATER FOR HIM WITH A SMALL CLOVER IN THE “N”. haha Ty hates his sweater bc it has “B” on it and he doesn’t want to wear it so people stop asking why isn’t it “T”. Nick’s laughing and answeing instead of Ty with “B stands for badass, even his mom calls him that”
i’m not even gonna try to figure out how long i’ve had this in my askbox
all my love goes to Leah and her patience
Ty stopped pacing for a minute and looked up at Deuce. Deuce put his hands on Ty’s shoulders to prevent him from continuing his march up and down on the corridor again.
“It’s gonna be alright.”
Ty gave him a quick nod, but his eyes were open wide and he pressed his lips together in a way that told Deuce he was feeling nauseous. He sighed and patted Ty’s shoulders before releasing him.
“She’s a young, healthy, strong girl and we’re not in the Dark Ages. Childbirth is usually without complications, especially if the mother’s as closely examined as she has been.”
Ty shrugged, not convinced at all and turned from his brother, his legs twitching. Soon, he started pacing again.
He was not ready. He was so definitely not ready for this.
Having children wasn’t something they talked about with Zane; the few times the topic came up they agreed on “someday we might”, but currently, it was the two of them. And it was about to change.
When Zane got home about a month before and said that there was a girl under witness protection, in her eighth month and she wouldn’t keep the baby. And that she was a good kid, but very young, currently vouching against her (now) ex-boyfriend, saying that the kid was a mistake and that no one should bring up a child thinking that. After Ty met her it was no longer a question that they’d adopt the baby.
"Look at me.” Deuce called after him but this time he didn’t grab Ty. “Just breathe, okay?"
“You weren’t so cool either when Livi was giving birth” Ty grumbled. Deuce gaped at him.
“That was my girlfriend in there!”
“And that’s my…! … That’s not my girlfriend.” Ty stopped walking and his shoulders hunched. He looked like a kicked puppy, only this time he wasn’t doing it intentionally. Deuce stepped closer and hugged him.
“She’s okay, the baby’s okay, you’re okay and Zane will be here soon too.” Deuce murmured into his ear, not loosening his arms. Ty groaned.
“Don’t even remind me. He was so fucking pissed he had to go in for work, I thought he’d get himself fired, the way he was talking on the phone.”
Deuce released him and noted with satisfaction that Ty looked a bit calmer.
“But he went in.”
“I had to kick him out of the hospital.” Ty grinned, then his expression darkened. ”He’s gonna kick my ass in return.”
“Just after Ma” Deuce laughed and slapped his brother’s arm. “When she finds out you’re having a child…”
“She’ll understand.” Ty hissed but his voice made it clear he wasn’t believing it either. Because of the witness-protection program they couldn’t give out information; besides the two of them, the girl and the assigned team, no one knew about the adoption. Ty only called Deuce when Zane had to leave and he was in need of some support – and he wouldn’t dare call Nick.
On cue, Zane arrived, followed by several eyes, taking long steps and looking more like the head of a wayward motor band than a future dad; but both Deuce and Ty let out a relieved sigh.
“Did I miss anything? Hello Deuce.” Zane asked after a quick kiss to Ty.
“No” answered Deuce fast before Ty could respond. “You still only have just one whining baby to take care of.”
Zane laughed and caught Ty before he could throttle his brother.
Please I need Ty and Zane + "where the fuck did that clown come from?"
Ty made his way up the stairs of the row house to the attic bedroom where Zane was waiting for him on the balcony.
He flexed his fingers as he walked. They were sore from wrenching away on the Mustang all afternoon after leaving their other house that morning and from years of injuries. He looked down at his scarred knuckles. Each mark symbolized a close call. A brush against the fur of death that had nearly torn him from this life he and Zane were building together over and over again.
He huffed and dropped his hands to his sides.
Then he saw a pair of bright, wide eyes and a vicious looking grin across the room and he screamed.
Zane came running in through the balcony door. "Ty, what's wrong?"
Ty pointed at the figure sitting on the bar stool Zane used when he was painting. "Where the fuck did that clown come from, Zane?"
Zane frowned. Then he turned, following Ty's finger.
Ty's eyes narrowed as his fiancé's shoulders began to shake.
"Zane?" Ty asked in a flat voice. "Why is there a creepy clown doll in our attic?"
"Anne sent it. It was Sadie's but she's finally reached the age where she doesn't want to really play with dolls anymore. So Anne sent us this one so we could give it to Amelia."
Ty cocked his head. "Did you know she was sending the doll? Did you know what it looked like before she sent it?"
Zane looked back at him and smiled. "Yes, yes I did."
"You know Deuce is going to crap himself when he sees that thing, right?"
Zane's smile widened and he nodded.
Ty reached out and pulled Zane into a hug. He pressed his nose against Zane's cheek. Zane leaned into his touch.
Then Ty chuckled. "Deuce is gonna kill us. He's gonna kill me. It'll be so worth it."
"I knew you'd approve, baby," Zane said as he leaned in for a kiss.
