Warnings: book & show spoilers

a/n: I’m trying to write the characters as a mixture of the book and show. Some of the characters act quite differently in the books and it’s a bit difficult to pin point their personality, but I hope I do them justice. Thank you for reading xx

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿  

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Everyone is settling down into their own homes. I don’t care what is canon and what’s not.

𝐊𝐚𝐳

・Likes things to be in their place. If they aren’t where they left them than he goes into a bit of a tizzy

   “Y/n! Y/n I specifically left them right here and they aren’t right. Here. Where have they gone??”

  “No, you moved them because you thought they were too vulnerable sitting there. Look in the third shelf down to your left.”

*Does what you tell him to do* *is embarrassed* *thanks you but not above a whisper*

・You have a lot of nice things in your home, but the most expensive things are usually the jewels and the jewelry that Kaz has gifted you

・He has a lot of the same clothing, so when you open his side of the closet there’s just ... black ... oh and grey

・His cane is never too far from where he is

・Despises the idea of getting a pet

・And you have to beg and beg

・But none of it worked

・So you had to come up with a plan. It was quite manipulative but hey, how else would you have caught Kaz’s attention?

・The dog you have now was once a puppy who had “accidentally” followed you home

   “How did it follow you home? We live in Ketterdam, there are a million homes here.”

“I guess it liked...me...”

・He ordered it out

・But you didn’t listen and somehow, the pup had wiggled its way into Kaz’s heart

・He swore he wasn’t going to pick up any poops, but that too was a lie

𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚

・Once settled in, she comes to realise that she really enjoys the finer things in life

・Big bed, silks, many many pillows

・A big bath with hot water straight from the tap

・She adores a long hot bath, lots of bubbles, with lavender and chamomile, candles, and a good book to read - or just to lay there and soak

・She hates waking up early, but is the first one to crawl into bed (she just really likes being in bed)

・Has her own drawing nook - a desk near a big window where she can get natural light. Many types of pencils, quills, inks, etc. She draws people, memories, landscapes, dreams

・Her drawings are framed and are all over the house

・There’s also a library; a room with a cosy corner that has all kinds of books; fiction and non fiction - historical, religious, fantasy etc

・Oh and she adores having the fire going. She wants it on even if it’s barely even cold

・But she hates chopping wood, so when you tell her that it isn’t cold enough for a fire, she’ll go outside and use The Cut to get the wood.

・Loves when you braid her hair; loves it even more when you give her head a lil massage too

・She fusses over you whenever you’re sick. Making you soup, remembering remedies from her upbringing in the orphanage.

・If you burn yourself, cut or have any other injuries, she is constantly checking on it to make sure it doesn’t get infected

・She doesn’t mind doing the laundry - if it means you’ll fold afterwards

・There are a lot of different oils, perfumes, bath products, hair products all over the bathroom

𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐢

・Yes, he is used to being treated like royalty

・But he’s also experienced life on a ship - and that isn’t pretty (at all...it’s quite awful)

・Yet he has seen his destiny as being a ruler, so the biggest change in both of your lifestyles is ... you

・You would have to learn how to live during court

・You couldn’t just leave your chambers in your pajamas (I mean ... you could but drama would start at court most definitely)

・Both you and Nikolai obviously share the same chambers, and actually you both have your own wing in the castle (So I guess you could just stay in your pajamas if you wanted)

・It’s basically having your own home - or huge apartment

・The majority of the decor is white with gold trimmings and accents. Nikolai said you could change whatever you want

・The castle is never quiet, and there are always people coming and going, but your chambers are very very quiet.

・Nikolai doesn’t snore but does talk in his sleep

・It’s nonsensical, but it’s usually about the dreams he’s having

・You have servants that come and clean up after both you and Nikolai

・When Nikolai is finished for the day, he trots up to your shared wing and slumps against the door once it’s closed

・He sighs undoing his buttons, but you like to be the one to do that

𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐣

・Still very quiet around the home, so you get used to seeing her in different parts of the house in a small amount of time

    “I swear, sometimes there’s two of you!” You once grumbled, while cleaning up a broken tea cup because she popped up out of nowhere

・Doesn’t like loud sudden noises, so you live a bit from civilisation. Not too far though.

・She gets on really well with cats

・You’d end up adopting two kittens that were the only survivors of a litter

・They were tiny, covered in fleas and skinny as can be. But you both fed them, bathed them and made sure they survived

・One is called Umbra, and the other Sol

・You both take on the styling of the home. Inej quite likes the cottage-esque look. However she does want to honor her heritage and there are a lot of colourful cloth that drapes across the ceiling

・Inej had Jesper insert a rod that holds a long silk cloth so that she can practice her acrobatic skills

・Jesper visits as often as he can, and is usually found hung over in the spare bedroom

・As does Nina, who likes to ask what’s for dinner hours before dinnertime (usually an hour after eating lunch)

・You own the land, with Inej’s name not involved - you didn’t want her to feel tied down. And that she could leave whenever she desired

・Although it’s Suli culture to be travellers, Inej said she did want to be apart of the deed and you were more than happy to change it

・Inej doesn’t sleep very often; she knows when her body needs it but other than that, she really cannot get to sleep

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐬

・Loves the feeling of a cosy home

・Has actually gone off to cry because living with you in such a lovely, warm, safe environment made him overwhelmed with happiness

・I have this feeling that you would be the type of person to rescue animals and Matthias has to put on this ‘No we barely have enough to feed ourselves, we can’t look after these animals,’ but his stance changes so quickly

・So you have about five dogs so far

・But you still go into town and feed as many as you can

・Matthias thinks he’s in charge, but after a few months together he comes to realise that you will always be in charge

・He actually really enjoys gardening

・Has those well-planned and established herb gardens. The ones that are held in perfect square timber raised beds

・Matthias absolutely threw himself into gardening. Bought books about it, spoke to the elders in town about how to perfectly grow herbs. He was both fascinated and in need on something to focus on after the tragedy he had endured

・You encouraged him, but said he had to promise not to make a mess inside.

・Is a very loud snorer, and hogs the bed, as well as the sheets. It’s just easier to sleep underneath him - not that he would notice. Once his head hits the pillow almost nothing can wake him until morning

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

・Safety; that’s what she wants, that’s what she desires most

・A place that she can let her guard down and not have to worry about being used

・She doesn’t like uninvited visitors, and has special locks on all the doors so no one can break in

・When you introduced the idea of a guard dog, she was apprehensive.

  “What if it can sense ... the darkness in me?”

“There is no darkness within you, Genya.”

・So you got a Cane Corso, a beast of a dog. That scared even Genya the first time she saw her.

・Is a very light sleeper, but once getting your pup, Genya let it sleep on the end of the bed

・Even now, after your dog, Neith, has grown to full size, she still sleeps at the end of your bed (you know exactly when she jumps up and when she leaves because the bed moves...significantly)

・When days seem especially difficult for Genya, you like to leave little notes around the house, reminder her of all the things you love about her

・She likes to wake up before you and move the hair from your face and just watch you sleep

・Isn’t the best at cooking, so you usually take up that job. But she does bake pretty well. Very good at making tea cake 

・Knows a lot about healing so you have a lot of herbs, spices, flowers, vegetables that aren’t for eating per say, but for when someone is sick or wounded 

・Genya hated mirrors for a while, until you helped her get over the change in her appearance. You helped her on the road to confidence and self love. 

・You’re both still involved in helping the Grisha so you see Zoya, Nikolai, Tolya, Tamar etc 

・Genya doesn’t really like having people at the house though. It’s her sanctuary where there are no reminders of The Darkling or the nichevoya

𝐌𝐚𝐥

・Wants a simple life

・Doesn’t care for anything fancy, so you’d be the one to arrange everything

・I can see him as a farmer

・Out in the country, living off the land, but never taking too much and giving back

・We know from the books that he ends up running the orphanage with Alina, living a simple life. Looking after kids who need a home - and I think he would do that whether he was with Alina or not (and in this case...obviously not)

・He would be content with a slow life with you

・But he also wants to be of use to the community; to give back

・So you spend your days finding jobs for people who need them - with the help of Nikolai. You do the paper work while Mal meets the people and waits with them until a horse and carriage arrive

・You also have a huge vegetable garden that you allow the community to use as they please

・In thanks they give you something; knitted blanket, baked bread etc

・You have cows, goats, sheep and horses

・There are stable hands that tend to the horses. Usually the young people from the village (both boys and girls alike)

・The milk isn’t just for you and Mal but you go into town and give it to the people who need it most

・You don’t live far from the village. In fact you can see your neighbours just by looking out the window. They may look far, but really it’s only a ten minute walk

・You also teach people how to read and write

・Mal is absolutely head over heels in love with you

・Always makes sure you feel protected and safe

・Is actually very sensitive and feels things deeply. That’s why sometimes he has to take time to process his emotions alone

𝐙𝐨𝐲𝐚

・We know that Zoya is destined for greatness, hence she would end up living in a castle

・But if not a castle than a quaint chateu will do

・Is a stickler for mess

      “There is no reason for there to be so much untidyness!”

・Has a lot of pictures/drawings/paintings of her family up around your home

・She always needs the bed to be made every day; if you’re the last to get out of bed than you have to make it

・You see a different side to Zoya; yes a softer side but also the undone, sloppy version of her. She actually didn’t let you see her like that until a month into living together

・If you snore she makes you sleep on the couch

・No. pets. She’s the one who wears the pants in this relationship and her decision is final

・Until you start feeding an old cranky cat who doesn’t stray far from your home. You name him, but keep him a secret and sneak him inside when Zoya is away

・She pretends not to notice and lets you have your hidden pet

・Although you’d think there would be servant or maids, that’s not the case. You and Zoya split the chores equally; she doesn’t want another person touching her things

・She actually colour co-ordinates her clothes; they’re in colour order and when she’s especially stressed she’ll do the same for yours

・When clothes are folded, they have to be folded neatly- 

・Is a very, very good cook. She makes these pastries with goats cheese inside that are to die for 

・Has a vanity with ridiculous amounts of make up. When she has a bit to drink she always wants to give you a makeover 

・Takes her coffee and tea very strong 

     “What’s the point of polluting it with milk and sugar?”

・Is the last to fall asleep and the first to wake, but she stays in bed for 20 minutes because she likes being so close to you 

・Whenever guests come over she is the perfect hostess. But if they overstay their welcome she won’t hesitate to tell them it’s time to leave

𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫

・IS SO DRAMATIC WHEN GETTING READY

   “This outfit worked better in my head”

・Wanted to have multiple mirrors in the bedroom so he could “see himself at all angles” but you told him “the fuck we are”

・He relented ... not without whining

・But Jesper’s clothes do end up EVERYWHERE

・He’s awful at picking up after himself in the clothing department

・But he does keep the bathroom really clean ???

・Even if it’s shaving or after a bathe, he’ll make sure it’s exactly how he found it

・Hates weird smells so he sprays perfume everywhere

・Liked the thought of living in the city to be close to the rest of the crows, so you accepted

・But you made him promise not to do anymore gambling -

・Your home is like an escape for Jesper

・Likes to go shopping with you. He likes picking out things so that you can match (you’re against it at first but ... also submit to it)\

・He always knows how to make you laugh, so whenever he forgets to do a chore he can wiggle his way out of it

・Will do all the grocery shopping and any errands you don’t want to do

・Also loves candles, especially scented ones but has been banned from having them burning unless you’re home too ...

・Moves around a lot in his sleep and has whacked you a few times

・Misses you whenever either of you are away. Keeps a piece of your clothing to smell

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠

・Although he spends a lot of time at the Little Palace, he wanted a place where it was just you and him. Where he wouldn’t be disturbed by questions or problems.

・A lot of his focus is on his plans, but he keeps maps and the like all in one room

・He wants to keep the bedroom for ... bedroom activities. As well as all the other rooms for their proper uses

・Aleksander doesn’t want his ambitions to hinder your domestic life

・He hates overhead lighting

・Prefers candles or lamps

・Always buys you new clothes, new shoes, new accessories etc. Wants you to have the best of the best 

・And he gets headaches very easily so you have tinctures and remedies on hand as well as around the house

・He prefers the quiet, and too much noise overwhelms him

・Pets aren’t really his thing ... maybe a bird though, but it wouldn’t have to make much noise

・He does love horses though. And would spend hours on them if he could. Just galloping away, far from his troubles.

・Has a maid that comes and cleans the house

・The only time you’ve seen him truly peaceful is in sleep, but that’s only when the nightmares haven’t started 

・He wakes up a lot during the night and doesn’t want to wake you. But you’ve told him whenever that happens he’s more than allowed to wake you up. Being in your arms help him go back to sleep

・100% lets you steal the blankets, without ever complaining 

・He’s more likely to remember things than you are, so he makes/buys you a calender and writes down everything you’d need to remember 

𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐚

・Isn’t very tidy. There are a LOT of food crumbs (especially in the bed)

・Her hair is actually very long, she just keeps it up and out of the way, so you get to see Nina with her long hair down

・But you also find a lot of Nina’s hair ... everywhere

・She does like when you give her head scratches - a lot of golden retriever energy

・You’ve actually been collecting it to prove to her how much she sheds

・Is always hungry and asks if you want to get food nearly every hour and a half

・She’s not that bad of a cook, but you aren’t much better. So a lot of your food is bought rather than made

・Always makes sure you’ve had something to eat though, especially after a long day or after a big gig with the crows 

・You, Nina, and Inej have a close friendship; so Inej likes to ... appear ... in your house

・Most of the time it’s because of an injury. So you keep your storages stocked up just in case.

・But other times it’s for a sleep over! Eating, all sleeping in the loungeroom, telling each other stories and secrets

・You invite Jesper and Wylan aswell... and have asked Kaz but he always declines. Well actually he doesn’t even decline he just doesn’t say anything or show up 

・Is a heavy sleeper when you’re in the house. But when she’s alone she can barely sleep

・Always kisses you when you walk through the door and before you leave. It’s become a ritual and if it isn’t done then it’s bad luck

・Learns your little quirks. Like if you like your sandwiches cut diagonally or straight 

・Nina is very romantic

・She loves going on little dates with you. And always makes sure you have time for a date. At least once a month. Even if it’s just going out to eat and then taking a walk underneath the night sky

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿  

𝐊𝐚𝐳

・You honestly thought he hated your guts

・Like he truly despised you

・But Kaz saw his feelings as a weakness. He thought he was protecting you by keeping his distance

・It wasn’t until Jesper let something slip, which made you think Kaz might see you in a positive way.

    Sitting on a chair and propping his legs on the table, Jesper didn’t even look at you when he said, “Oh he loves you-”

“He what??” Your response cut him off and the sharp-shooter smirked. 

       “Haven’t you noticed? He’s extra ... Kaz-like when you’re around.” 

・From that moment on you thought about every interaction you’ve had with Kaz

・The tight-lipped responses, averting your gaze, but also giving you the easiest part of the jobs, making sure that you had extra protection ... 

・You didn’t know it, but Kaz was making sure you were never directly in harms way

・You were never too far away from him

・And when the jobs were too risky, he would pull you out. You thought it was because you weren’t talented enough, but that wasn’t the case at all. 

・It was starting to make sense now

𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚

・Shy around you, but will blurt out the most random fact? And it doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation

・Always able to spot you out in a crowd 

・It’s like some sort of sixth sense, she’s just able to find you 

・Uses her sun summoner powers to give you light whenever you need it 

・And yeah she might show off a bit ...

・Laughs at all your jokes - even if they aren’t that funny. I guess you could call it pity laughing ...

・Her journals are full of drawings of you. Never shows anyone, and would die of embarrassment if anyone found out. 

・Genya was the one to push her to talk to you

・Alina thinks she’ll scare you off with all the attention she’s getting. Everyone thinking she’s a Saint, being the one to tear down the fold, etc. 

・So when you agreed to go on a date with her, she didn’t know what to say next. 

𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐢

・Amps up the charm, so on the outside he seems so suave, but on the inside he is literally buRNING WITH DESIRE

・Would give you endless gifts, that are extremely expensive 

・Like his money advisor would be like “bruh where’s that $$$ gone?” 

・Definitely the type to write secret admirer letters 

・Always makes sure you have your favourite food. Either stocks it in your room, and says “I do this for all my ... friends” (lie, he doesn’t), or literally carries it on his person “just in case” 

・Tolya and Tamar tell him to pursue you, but Nikolai feigns confusion

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the Prince says, shrugging his shoulders, pretending to read the map in front of him

    “Liar,” they both laugh, shaking their heads. 

・Okay so with it being very obvious that he has a crush on you, somehow you don’t ... see it?

・Your brain is like, ‘ This Prince of Ravka couldn’t possibly like me. I’m just imagining it.”

・But to be loyal to their captain, Tolya and Tamar keep their mouths shut (although they do try to see if you like him back - and of course you do?????)

𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐣

・You would have absolutely no clue

・So quiet, but somehow ... extra quiet around you?

・Watches you from afar to make sure you’re safe

・Has learned your routine, likes, dislikes and favourite things without saying a word to you 

・Feels so protective over you. Kinda like Edward and Bella vibes. Like she thinks you would end up hurting yourself walking down the stairs (because she’s seen you do it)

・You’d notice her because one day you were followed home and she saved you from the thugs

・She introduced herself, as if she was a skilled bystander 

・And from then on you kept ‘bumping’ into each other

・Because she knew all your favourite places 

・Okay this is starting to sound a lil creepy, but we know Inej has only good intentions. And she would realise how creepy it was getting and stop doing it

・But then you’d notice that you see her less and get a bit sad 

・So you seek her out and ask why you haven’t been seeing her as much

・And she kinda ... freezes because she thinks you caught onto her 

       “...work, you know?” 

・You looked away for one second, turned back and she was gone

𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫

・Flirty Mcflirt pants x1000

・Walks up to you confidently, about to say the best pick up line, but then he completely stumbles over his words 

・Complains to Inej about how he can be so charming with everyone else but he always messes up around you 

・We know Jesper ‘falls in love easily’

・But with you it was different

・His feelings weren’t flimsy; like parchment in water. No, they felt stronger, like a seed in the earth. 

・Somehow you became his first priority

・He found himself second-guessing his outfits-

    “I’m not sure if I look ... fabulous? Inej, what do you thi- oh she’s gone.” 

・But you always compliment him. And one of your compliments is worth a hundred from strangers

・Thinks you can do no wrong, like seriously. Thinks the sun shines out of your as-

   “They did NOT do that. Well, if they did good on ‘em!” 

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠

・Longing looks from afar 

・Never snappy with you, unlike interactions with other people 

・Has memorised your every feature so he can imagine you before he goes to bed

・Would feel confused; is it infatuation? Just a fleeting crush? Lust? 

・Or was it something more?

・His heartrenders notice his heart rate picking up whenever you’re around, “sir, are you okay?” 

    “Yes I’m fine, I’m fine-” he grumbles

・Sneaks you dessert after every meal. You thought he did this for every Grisha, until you asked Zoya how her dessert was one night and she looked at you like you were crazy

    “Does that have a hidden meaning?” 

“No...?”

・So it’s basically favouratism 

・And vERY JEALOUS

・No man is allowed to be alone with you basically 

・And no one is allowed to yell, hurt or speak to you in any sort of negative way at all

𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐚

・Is absolutely shameless about it 

・Gives the impression that she doesn’t care if you know about her feelings or not. 

・But that’s not completely the case. 

・Nina is sexually attracted to you - so she would try and pursue you on that front. But once she realised that there was a deeper attraction ... she knew she was fucked 

・She’s a whirlwind to be around; constant fast-paced and witty banter 

・Shares her food with you, and asks if you want to get food with her (it’s practically always waffles)

・Nina would approach you as another aquaintance - with her flirting. But what really showed her feelings was the food

・Nina didn’t just share food with anyone

・No, absolutely not. 

・Only those that she cared very deeply about 

・And she doesn’t just ask anyone to go get food with her; because eating is like a sacred experience...

・With the wrong company, it could completely ruin it

・So that’s why she always asks you

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐬

・Creates a friendship with you by asking about all your favourite things

・When he first met you, Matthias felt this warm giddy feeling inside

・He thought maybe it was a one off 

・But every time you interacted, the same feeling occurred 

・He’s quite slow with his advances. One might not even classify them as advances because he’s so ‘old school.’ 

・He’d be the type who likes to “go steady”

・Matthias is actually pretty good at explaining his emotions and thoughts

・So he’s quite understanding! 

・Absolutely wholesome (once his misplaced hatred for Grisha isn’t there anymore...) 

・Gentleman; opens doors for you, offers his arm, never lets someone talk over you. And this is before you’re in a relationship 

・Never lets people speak negatively towards you or about you

・He has your back 24/7

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

・Shy!!! But incredibly protective; will tailor someone to have pimples if they talk badly about you 

・Tries to get the Darkling to pair you up on quests/tasks

・Mostly gazes at you from afar, sighing every 30 seconds in admiration 

・Laughs the loudest whenever you make a joke (or say anything remotely funny) (and then someone nudges her arm, telling her to dial it down) 

・Asks about “nonchalantly” with others, basically to see how you’re going. Because she’s too embarrassed to ask you 

・Whenever she catches your eye, you give her a smile and her insides burst into butterflies 

・Gets sad when you get put on missions that make you have to travel, she misses you dearly

・When her confidence builds, she tells you that whenever you’d need her tailoring skills, she’d be glad to help

・Would do that hand thing in Pride and Prejudice when Mr Darcy holds Elizabeth’s hand and when he’s walking away he like ... flexes it (it’s more romantic on screen, I promise)

・That’s how she’d be, but with only brushing her hand against yours 

𝐌𝐚𝐥

・Tries his best to start conversations with you but they’re always so awkward, like he asks you about the weather? And small things like what your favourite colour is, what you think the best meal of the day is etc. 

・You thought he was just doing it to be nice, to create some small talk... 

・But little did you know this boy was falling HEAD over HEELS in love with you 

・The first time he made you laugh, he nearly imploded. 

・Your laugh was so refreshing...

・He didn’t think another person could give him so much happiness

・And being the source of your happiness was mind blowing to him. Hearing your laugh was like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders

・Thinks about you day and night, fantasising about your life together. Where you would get married, what kind of house you’d live in, how many children etc. 

・Literally already having names picked out for your kids 

・And when you started talking to him ... as in initiating the conversations - he felt like a king

𝐙𝐨𝐲𝐚

・It was obvious that Zoya liked you - she was never as coldhearted like she was with everyone else 

・Almost like she was constantly “going easy” on you 

・And then when someone would point it out, she would be twice as mean

・Leaving you completely confused 

・But once she ... settled? in her feelings, she started to change 

・Like showing off in front of you

・I’m talking, actually asking, “are they looking?” before showing off 

・Zoya makes sure no one is talking behind your back 

・She will literally tear them to shreds if they insult you. And I’m not over emphasising - she would tear some down utterly and completely, if they messed with you. 

・Thinks about you when she’s in bed, how she yearns for your arms to be wrapped around her

・Finds herself daydreaming about you, then snaps back to reality and pretends like nothing happened 

・Blushes whenever you’re around, but her bravado turns up tenfold

a/n: honestly ... this is the relationship I want ...

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ  

SFW🌿

⭑ At first, it was a love triangle -

⭑ Both Grisha women were vying for your attention, and it was MAYHEM. ANARCHY. CHAOS. 

⭑ Genya would wake up extra early, attend to the queen and then herself (more so than usual-)

⭑ Zoya’s ego seemed to be inflated, while secretly she felt the most insecure she ever had. Which probably is a red flag, but she’s never had to fight for someone’s attention. Not ever. 

⭑ You were confused, completely and utterly. 

⭑ Because there were these two absolutely GORGEOUS women who wanted ... you. And that’s not to say that you aren’t attractive, but this has never happened before. 

⭑ You weren’t the most popular growing up, sports were never really your thing. 

⭑ You knew you liked to make people smile, or laugh, or feel like the world was something worth living for. 

⭑ And that’s what they saw in you - hope. 

⭑ Because just by being around you they felt uplifted 

⭑ So that’s why they fought for your attention

⭑ And I don’t mean squabbaling. I mean ... trying to one up the other. Being more romantic, or being the one to talk to you after training was over. 

⭑ And lets be honest ... it wasn’t the worst feeling. Even though you knew at one point you would have to choose. 

⭑ But one day you were talking with one of your friends and she said, “why choose?”

       “Well... I have to...”

“Who says?”

        “Everyone?”

“Fuck everyone.”

      “I know you do-” you played it off as a joke, not taking her seriously. But that planted a seed in your mind that you couldn’t get rid of. 

⭑ I think Genya would be the first to agree to polyamory. Although she likes to fit in with the people around her, the thought of having more than one person excites her. And Zoya is a very beautiful woman ... Genya secretly had a crush on her for years

⭑ Zoya on the other hand ...

⭑ Well, lets just say she doesn’t share with others

⭑ But no one was pushed into this relationship. 

⭑ There was no rush

⭑ So over time, it happened organically ... you and Genya started the relationship and let Zoya know she could join at any time

⭑ She would point her nose in the air and ignore the two of you

⭑ Until one night, when the moon was high and the Darkling had gone to sleep. She had seen you and Genya kissing, and something inside of her had cracked. Not in a broken way, but in a birthing way - like a bird freeing itself from an egg.

⭑ “Maybe ... this isn’t such a bad idea...” Zoya muttered one afternoon

⭑ Your poly relationship moved around the Little Palace quickly, and I mean ...  very quickly.

⭑ It was hot gossip, and I mean who could blame the other Grisha? Not many exciting things happened at the Little Palace. 

⭑ At one point, when the gossip was at its peak, you thought the Darkling might actually come and talk to you about it. But that never happened. 

⭑ A few days after Zoya said yes, the three of you sat down in the gardens and talked about boundaries. What was appropriate, what you definitely did not want to do. 

⭑ It wasn’t so much as creating a set of rules ... but guidelines that helped keep the relationship positive and healthy

⭑ You’re all a force to be reckoned with ... and in a way, you sort of run the Little Palace in terms of hierachy 

⭑ And Genya is accepted within the ranks. You and Zoya make sure of that

⭑ But she keeps hidden (for now) what the King does to her (she knows that the two of you will ruin him.)

⭑ Zoya always wants to go on fancy dates - chandeliers, makeup, jewelry. While Genya likes being near the water/outside. You love nature, so you had an idea that you would dress up and walk amongst the forest, the trees, the grass. 

⭑ Zoya thought that idea was stupid, until you three actually did it and she felt so ethereal

⭑ SO MUCH SASS ALL THE TIME

⭑ And some people are like, “bro did they really just say that,” and you’re like ??? 

⭑ Absolutely NO ONE fcks with you, (or Genya, or Zoya for that matter.)

⭑ Power houses, because you train together - 

⭑ Oh and no one holds back, so it’s serious training 

⭑ Relationship Tropes: 

  ✧ Rival x Flustered, Never Been Shown Affection x Rival (But both rivals are soft and supportive of one another)

  ✧ Touch Either One Of My Girlfriends And You Die x3

  ✧ Asshole (Genya) x Also An Asshole But It’s Tough To Tell Because Of Their Cute Exterior (You) x Even More Of An Asshole (Zoya)

✧ “Trust Me, Given The Legal Opportunity, I Will Kill You” (Genya) x If It Were Not For The Laws Of This Land, I Would Have Slaughtered You” (You) x “If I Were Not Holy I Would Beat You Senseless.” (Zoya)

  NSFW🔞minors dni!

⭑ They both LOVE TOYS; dildos, nipple clamps etc

⭑ Genya has a HUGE mummy kink, while Zoya has an even bigger daddy kink

⭑ They both love playing with your tits and pulling, biting, licking your nipples

⭑ Have had library sex 

⭑ Sometimes Genya likes to watch as you and Zoya touch each other 

⭑ Mutual masturbation

⭑ “I’ll watch and learn how you like to be touched.”

⭑ Leaving marks on each other to find when getting dressed

⭑ Sex is way more light-hearted and fun than you would think. Zoya can be very serious when she’s trying to seduce you, but paired with Genya as well - you guys cannot help but giggle

⭑ Making out after training, or mid-training - everyone is sweating, their heart-beating fast and no one can stop their desire 

⭑ Probably have been caught a few times\

⭑ Sex is the only time where Zoya lets others tell her what to do - she’s a switch but moreso a sub

⭑ Genya is a dom 

⭑ Aftercare is wonderous. Both Genya and Zoya become very very cuddly, and like to stroke your high and nuzzle into your neck.

🌿ESFJ 🍁Ravenclaw 📜Neutral Good 🔮Saggitarius Sun, Gemini Moon, Aries Rising  

・Zoya despised Genya; she thought the red-head was pompous; that she didn’t deserve to call herself Grisha. Harsh, I know. So that’s why you were so hesitant to tell your sister about your relationship. 

・You had met Genya while at the Little Palace. You were sent a year after Zoya, your older sister to whom you had a rocky relationship with. 

・Trying your best to take the topic of the King out of Genya’s mind 

・Getting truly upset when she tells you what happens with him. You have a rush of emotions and it takes all your will-power not to march to the King’s quarters and kill him. 

・Genya only told you because she didn’t want to keep a secret from you 

・Sneaking into Genya’s room (she doesn’t have any roommates.) 

・Although Genya is a tad emotionally stunted... 

・Genya loves kissing your neck; love bites, hickies 

・Little dates amongst the grounds. You both really like nature, so you have a lot of picnics 

・Making fun of the King and Queen

・Being suspicious of the Darkling since he makes Genya be so close to the King, knowing what he does 

・Massaging Genya’s scalp

・And her shoulders (she gets stressed easily)

・Seeing a different side to her then others do 

・Everyone accepts her a bit more when you and Zoya show her kindness 

・She has so much love for you that it feels overwhelming. Her heart constantly feels full whenever she thinks of you. 

・Flirty as fck with you 

・You wanted Genya to know that you’d always be in her corner, so you went public with your relationship. 

・Zoya ... was ... ugh... pissed. 

      “Her? Out of every Grisha, you chose HER?” 

“Zoya please, watch your mouth,” you warned. Knowing that she would be angry, you were ready for a fight. 

・Zoya gave you the silent treatment 

・But Genya couldn’t love you any more than she did in that moment 

・Zoya going to Genya and having a talk with her 

      “If you hurt my sister, you’ll wish for death after I’m done with you.” 

“If I hurt Y/N, I’ll beg you to kill me anyway.” 

・Genya using her tailoring powers on Zoya to sweeten her up

・She wants to gift you so many things, but doesn’t have a lot of money. You don’t want, nor expect anything. You just love her company. 

・Relationship Tropes: 

  ✧ Pure Lookin’ (but hella shady) (you) x Scary Lookin’ (but actually a softie) (genya)

  ✧ Awkward Friends Pining For Each Other

  ✧ Always Ready To Throw Down For One Another

・You love it when she uses her power on you. Genya always says you don’t need it, but you love how easy she makes a makeup look. 

・It took a while but Zoya eventually came around. Her stubbornness turned into kindness.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒏.

    Seemingly always in a daydream, INTPs are constant thinkers whose curiosity constantly gets the best of them. They’re the type of people to ask why, to wonder how things work and think about the ‘what ifs’.

    They are curious, analytical, and independent – INTPs are often pegged as the “mad scientists” in the world of fiction.

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

・You grew up together in the Little Palace. She was the first person you ever saw, a true Grisha. Her powers were incredible. And you were wild with curiosity. 

・But your intrigue for Zoya was thwarted. Not by her, but by work. There seemed to be no time for anything in the Little Palace. 

・Education sucked up all your time. And your grisha powers were in dire need. 

・Your parents didn’t want you to go, especially because you were their eldest child, but the time came for you to be tested. 

・You had alawys fixed up your father’s farmer machines and tools. Your family knew you were grisha, but tried to hide you. 

・Being told you were a Fabrikator wasn’t a shock to you. It was unusual for a child to be able to fix so many things, without knowing how they worked. 

・You could pick up on the mechanics of things within minutes of studing it

・For an INTP, and Fabrikator, you were a little loud. Well, when compared to the others. To many, you were still quiet and bookish. 

・To Zoya, you were a complete nerd. But secretly, she loved that about you. 

・Everyday she would somehow end up at the workshops, saying one of her beloved compacts had broken

・You were always the one to fix them

・Zoya gets butterflies whenever you smile at her. The first time it happened, you were sitting in the workshop and she flounced in. Someone said something passively aggressively towards you, and she shot back without a second thought. 

・You couldn’t help but be entertained by the person’s red face and quick feet as they scurried away with a bruised ego

・The Darkling was intimidating, but you weren’t entirely fazed by him. He was your leader, and you believed in him. He had the Grisha’s best interests at heart. It was only logical for you to accept him. 

・So you became the head Fabrikator over time, and Zoya was even more impressed by you. Because you didn’t need charm, or charisma to get people to like you. It was your honesty and direct outlook on life. 

・Slowly, you became good friends with Zoya. She too was honest. But in a much more brutal way. 

・The years went by and puberty hit both of you like a truck

・Hormones are a crazy thing. And for Zoya, they made her even more beautiful. 

・You’d never felt love for someone before. Family love yes, you missed your parents and siblings dearly. But you had never experienced romantic love

・No one had shown you any attention in that area 

・Well, not until one of your friends had pointed out that Zoya was always looking at you

・You brushed it off. What a ridiculous thing to point out, you thought. It was probably because you always had a smudge of oil on your nose or forehead

・But Zoya kept on staring. And making conversation. 

・And after months of ‘going to different places together’ (as you thought) but your friends calling them DATES! 

・She kissed you. 

・Outright. Pointblank. 

・Put her lips onto yours. 

・And you melted... it felt like all those stories you had read, and songs you heard were all truth

・As a partner, Zoya is very passionate. She can’t keep her hands off of you in private. In public, she isn’t much for PDA.

・But she does like everyone knowing you’re hers

・If someone looks at you for too long, she will verbally murder them

・You always have someone on your side. Someone to rely on. 

・Many people think she’s the ‘one who wears the pants’ in your relationship. But really, you call the shots. 

・She may be intimidating. But she doesn’t tell you what to do. No one can. 

・Zoya loves when you play with her hair, especially if you braid it. 

・And she still comes to you when she needs something fixed

・Will summon wind to cool you down

・She would rather spend all her time with you, than with friends

・Zoya likes to be the little spoon 

・Loves listening to you rant, especially if it’s about something you’re passionate about. Even though she has no idea what you mean if you’re talking about machinery 

・At times you do get a bit possessive of Zoya, and snap at people who are trying to flirt with her. She gets very impressed...

・She actually initiates most of the cuddling 

・You guys make a lot of sarcastic comments about other people to each other

𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒆𝒕 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒀𝒐𝒖: Mouse, Brainiac, Book (because you always carry a book or have one in your bag). Her teasing ways don’t cease even when you’re in a relationship. 

𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆: Quality Time and Acts of Service. She doesn’t particularly like speaking her feelings, so she shows them through doing.

⭑ We know Zoya has a fire within that will snap at anyone who dares step out of line. 

⭑ So when the two of you entered a relationship, you know became apart of her very heart. Whoever said a bad word, even a bad look your way - she would tear them apart. 

⭑ Zoya will always seek you out - no matter whether it’s during training, schooling, prayer, balls etc. You are her focus. You are her world. 

⭑ Zoya loves having an arm around you, or a hand somewhere on your body; on your own, your waist, an arm wrapped around your own. 

⭑ She loves gazing into your eyes while you play with her hair. 

    “You are the prettiest woman I have ever seen,” you coo. Nuzzling your nose against her own. 

⭑ She doesn’t care about others’ opinions. Only your own. 

⭑ She’ll visit you in your chamber, staying as long as she can until she’s stationed somewhere in the castle

⭑ You like to tease her at times, rile her up - but never going too far because you know she feels insecure at times 

⭑ I think her grandiosity is because she doubts herself. She would only ever let her walls come down with you’re alone with her

⭑ She absolutely loves wearing your clothes and will parade around your room. 

⭑ If someone was flirting with you, she would come up behind you and wrap her arms around you. Her lips would connect to your face, neck, lips, and cheeks. Absolutely devouring you in them. 

⭑ The other person would be so awkward - they would sort of ... shuffle away. And Zoya would stare after them, and when they turn around, she would sneer. 

⭑ When someone makes fun of you, and she’s not there, you’ll tell her about your day and what happened. Even if it didn’t hurt you, or sting you that badly - -she would get up from wherever she was and find the person. Or she would wait until the next day and tear them to shreds with her words. 

⭑ Zoya’s silver tongue is just as potent as her Grisha power. 

⭑ If she’s there when someone insults you, she radiates coolness. Absolute ice. Cold. Like an ice queen, or viper waiting to strike

⭑ You always feel safe with Zoya, and she feels proud that you feel that way. 

⭑ Zoya loves showing affection to you in public, to let as many people know that you’re taken. 

⭑ She likes sharing jewelry; earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and especially rings. It’s almost like an unofficial promise ring.

⭑ Everyone knows that you’re Zoya’s Queen. Almost like you’re the rulers amongst the grisha at the Little Palace.
