ToG Winter Headcanons
- Dorian hosts the best parties at his house. He goes all out in decorating everything for winter and making sure that there is plenty of mistletoe hanging up in almost every doorway.
- Manon rolls her eyes every time Dorian sweeps her into a kiss when she walks into a room. But she readily joins in and finds that the mistletoe is now one of her favorite traditions.
- The mistletoe results in many couples sharing kisses throughout the day. And after a few drinks Rowan “stumbles” and kisses Lorcan on the cheek. Though Lorcan swears Rowan did it just to piss him off considering Whitethorn started roaring in laughter and Aelin claimed that she should be able to steal a kiss from Elide.
- Lorcan managed to get back at Rowan when it came time to eat dinner and he claimed that “buzzard” should be served that night.
- The Cadre make it a competition to find the best tree for the occasion. Though Fenrys and Connal end up starting a snow fight which leads to Gavriel having to reign them under control.
- Lorcan is the one who finds the tree and ends up chopping it down himself. Elide is with him and clearly enjoys the sight of Lorcan’s muscles straining against his flannel shirt as he swings the axe into the tree.
- Evangeline puts the star on the tree atop Aedion’s shoulders. Lysandra is also helping decorate the tree. She even bought an ornament that reads “First Yulemas Together - Terrasen Court”.
- Yrene brings in all the baked goods with Chaol. They know how to feed an army and they know that fae males (and Aelin) are inclined to eat everything they can get their hands on.
- Chaol manages to keep the males at bay in the kitchen with his cane that is decorated to look like a candy cane.
- Nesryn is there taking photos and manages to to be sneaky enough to get a lot of shots without anyone noticing. She knows how important family is and she wants to make sure to capture every moment.
- Sartaq manages to get a photo with Nesryn...one in which he surprises her with a kiss just as the camera took the photo. It’s Nesryn’s favorite photo of the night.
- When Fleetfoot, Aelin and Rowan arrive fashionably late they are dressed for the festivities. Fleetfoot has deer antlers on while Aelin is dressed as an elf.
- And in walks Rowan in a complete Santa outfit.
- Aelin and Rowan each carry in a bag of presents and Rowan hands out the ones that are in his bag.
- Once everyone finishes opening those presents Aelin comes forward with her bag. “These presents are for the ladies,” Aelin says with a smile that makes then men look nervously at each other.
- Elide opens her present first as she sits on Lorcan’s lap. To their surprise it’s black lacy lingerie and Lorcan blushes redder than Rowan’s ridiculous outfit.
- “So Lorcan,” Elide glances up at him with a teasing glint in her eye. “Have you been naughty or nice this year?
- Lorcan flushes even redder and manages to whisper something in Elide’s ear that causes her to blush and kiss his cheek. (Aelin imagines that the lingerie will come in handy soon.)
- Aelin then starts up a session of caroling at the piano. Surprisingly the Cadre are amazing at singing and soon the house is filled with music.
- At the end of the evening Aelin sits on Rowan’s lap and snuggles against him.
- “What do you want for Yulemas?” Aelin whispers while stroking the fake beard.
- Rowan manages to tug off the beard, yet Aelin continues to run her fingers down his face. It’s then he realizes that Aelin is tracing his tattoos. And Rowan’s heart warms at the feel of her touch and the fact that Aelin looks up at him with pure love in her eyes.
- “I already have everything I could ever want right here with me,” Rowan says softly and leans down to kiss Aelin slowly—wanting the moment to last a lifetime.
