I've watched this about one hundred times.
Hi! Can I request some fluff about Genji with a support reader?
Of course. I promise that there will only be maybe 1 to 3 “I need healing” jokes.
You are the only healer that Genji trusts when Mercy, Ana, and Kiriko aren’t available. Mercy has taught you the run down of how to help Genji with his Cyborg parts if she wasn’t around. You were a little jealous of Mercy and Genji’s bond. Not so much about his bonds with Kiriko and Ana. Ana was like everyone’s mom and Kiriko was like a sister to him.
You were organizing some medical supplies in your office when there was a knock on your door.
“Come in.”
You say as you close the cabinet door. You look at the doorway and see Hanzo and Kiriko holding Genji.
“Oh. Please put him on the table and tell me what happened.”
They do as you say and they do it quickly.
“Well his legs gave out. Then his arms stopped working.”
Hanzo informed you
“We tried Mercy’s office, but I forgot that she’s currently on vacation.”
Your face saddens.
“Luckily Mercy taught me how to do this. So he’s in good hands. If you two would to wait outside that would be great.”
They both nod and close the door when they exit. You sanitize your hands and put on some glove. You get to work getting Genji’s arms working. You were done with one arm and you were about to move to work on the other when Genji’s hand grabbed your wrist.
“Thank you, Mercy”
“You’re welcome, Genji.”
You say as you frown and he lets go of you. About 2 hours later you finally get his arms and legs working again. You were talking to Hanzo and Kiriko outside of your office when all three of you hear the door open.
“You know that you should be resting, Genji. Mercy told me that it’s important for you to rest for at least a minimum of 5 hours after I fix you up.”
“I apologize, Y/N. But…”
“But what, Genji?”
Hanzo questions.
“I can’t relax without Y/N there with me. And I’m hungry.”
“I’ll be in there in a minute and I’ll make sure to have a snack for you to eat. Okay?”
He nods and goes to lay back down.
“He called me Mercy while I was working on him.”
“Do you think he was out of it and didn’t know?”
Kiriko asks
“That’s what I’m telling myself. Also, Kiriko. Can you get a snack for Genji? And Hanzo please make sure that she doesn’t get anything with sugar or a lot of salt.”
They nod and set off on their mission. You go into your office and close the door. When you sit down next to Genji he wraps his arms around you.
“I’m sorry for calling you Mercy. My brain is just used to having Mercy fix me.”
“It’s alright Genji. I knew you didn’t mean it. I guess I was just a little jealous.”
He takes off his face mask and kisses your cheek.
“You know I love you. My sweet doe.”
You blush as he calls you that since he started calling you that when he first saw you summon your doe spirit during battle. It’s similar to the brothers dragons and Kiriko’s Kitsune. But the doe will pick the person or people who need healing and takes them to safety while healing them.
You two end up laying down and face each other.
“I think I need more healing, Y/N?”
“Why?”
“Because I think I might die from how cute you are.”
You two share a kiss. When Hanzo and Kiriko come back they hear the soft snoring of Genji and they just end up leaving a note with the snacks. Kiriko may or may not have taken a picture of you and Genji sleeping.
“The question that has haunted my being has been answered: The future is not fixed. My choices are my own. And yet, how ironic, for I now find I have no choice at all! I am a warrior… let the battle be joined.”
anon requested: Hello! I was wondering if I could request Cayde-6 with C, F, J, M and N from the fluff alphabet?
C = Cuddle - how would they cuddle their s/o?
A very clingy lad, always latched onto you in some way, even if you pry him off of you he'll just latch back on, he's okay with pretty much any position, but being the little spoon is probably his favorite, he's a heavy-ish sleeper, best way to get him up is to threaten to eat all of his spicy ramen or hood morning kisses
F = Family - Do they want a Family? If they do when?
Nah, he has you Sundance, Connell, and his fireteam so thats Family enough for him.
J = Jealous - Do they get Jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
He does, but hes confident that you won't cheat. He can get very touchy when he sees someone flirting with you, be prepared for him to come up from behind and wrap his arms around your waste and smoothly inserting himself into the conversation. Giving the flirty person, a scary lil' glare as he does.
M = Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would marriage be like?
I don't think the concept of marriage is still relevant amoung Guardians, since they don't truly have any time to settle down, especially the Vanguards. But anyway-
He'd be down. He'd propose at the end of a date, that took place in on of his favorite spots in the wilderness, mf couldn't get an actual ring so he made ya a ramen ring instead, and wraps a mini hunter banner(in his colors) around your finger.
N = Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?
Babe, Babes, Baby, Honey, Hot stuff, God, my 2nd favorite ramen bowl, the one person I would totally share my ramen with, Connells 2nd parent,
[masterlist]
You hold the cloth down onto your side, trying to stop the blood from pouring out. It has passed the point of pain, an eerie numbness spreading throughout your body. No longer able to stand, you feel your shoulder impact the wall and slide down, a smeared trail of red following the motion. You don’t have a medkit and, even if you did, the bullet is still lodged inside your flesh. You gasp out. It’s like trying to keep your head above the waves as you drift off at sea.
You almost feel as if you are ready to let the waves overtake you. To succumb to the water.
He comes to you, the man who is half machine. You hear him shouting your name in the distance, a hazy and echoing feeling. Your eyes are so heavy now, it’s hard to keep them open. You hear him call for backup as he races towards you, kneeling at your side.
“Hey Genji,” you murmur weakly, trying to manage a smile. The lights in the distance blur your eyes but you see the familiar metal mask looking at you, then back to your wound. “I was… a little careless.”
“We will get you help. Stay with me.”
“I guess… all that fancy sword stuff… really does help to not get shot.” You try to chuckle but it ends in a light cough. You want to close your eyes so badly.
“Wake up! Please. You need to fight this.”
You feel his hands taking off your helmet. Cold to the touch. You realize your face is burning up as he pushes back the hair from your face.
“’M okay. I’m just… so tired.”
You let your eyes rest for a moment as he covers your hand with his, applying pressure with the cloth. It’s uncomfortable, stinging slightly before fading back to a dull pulse.
“Was it this bad… for you?”
He’s quiet for a moment. “I do not recall. After… very much so. But I do not remember the pain.”
“What do you remember?” A weak question, barely more than a whisper.
Another pause. “Flowers. A field of flowers. From my childhood. A cabin in the countryside. Flowers of all colors. It was warm there. The sun was warm. It was… nice.”
“Is that where… where we go, you think?”
“You are not going anywhere.” A firm response before the break in his voice. “I need you here.”
The heaviness in your body makes you dizzy and your head lulls back to rest against the wall. You smile weakly. “Okay.”
You can’t recall what happens next. It’s like viewing the world through the wave that keeps crashing down on you, over and over. A peaceful moment of calm before a surge of dizziness and pain. The world spins around you, lights flashing behind your closed eyes and hurried voices shouting directions at one another.
You feel a soft, warm sensation on your forehead. Lips, gently placed. Delicate and protective, like the petals of a flower. The feeling spreads throughout your body, each inch of your body springing to life with another. Red, yellow, pink. The flowers bloom inside of you. Your body is the field from which they spring forth.
A beautiful place. But only to visit.
The darkness takes you.
When you stir, you hear the faint sounds of machinery beeping beside you. The fluorescent lights above are dull. The sheets tucked around you are stiff and pressed. You are stiff and pressed, too. Heavy and weak.
You open your eyes slowly. He’s there, sitting just feet from you. Hunched over, head in his hands. Maskless, the carbon fiber flesh that crawls up his throat visible.
Your voice is hoarse, dry. But you manage a small “Hey.”
He looks over to you, stunned. There are dark circles under his eyes. He rushes to your side before cautiously kneeling before you.
“Hey.”
You smile, despite the aching pain. Your shaky hand reaches out to the side of his scarred face, still in a state of shock. He looks at you with such an incredulous expression. With all of the reassurance you can muster behind your voice, you say, “I came back.”
Soft eyes meet yours as he leans into your touch, placing a hand over yours as a weak smile breaks out on his face.
“Welcome back.”

Liege Maximo: The Manipulator.
Optimus Prime: The Visionary.
Prima:
He embodies the light, the order and the good. Similar to Primus. However, over the millennia, he will always weaken and almost fall into darkness. It goes so far that he soon becomes paranoid of everything that looks evil and exacerbates the laws of Cybertron. Alone through the paranoia, he went so far as to let the Predacons die out, at the time when Cybertron was deadly to every living being through massive sunbeams.
He became the leader of civilization, but what became of him is hardly known. Many say he was killed when his paranoia became too strong. Others say he left Cybertron and never returned. The truth, however, is that he currently lives between the dimensions in a palace of crystals and light that his brother, the timekeeper, once had him build.
Vector Prime:
He is the time and one of the most powerful among the Primes. He is known as the keeper of space and time. He also has a rich arsenal of weapons, which he will also use in combat. However, you can only see him with 2 weapons, the Time Sword and the Dimensional Sword. In addition, he has the capability of phase shifting. He can also move his portals (similar to Dr. Strange Scene in Thor 3, Ragnarok). He himself lives outside the time stream in absolute isolation. In the beginning, however, he lived among his siblings until the Prime War broke out. After that, his life changed and he experienced for the first time suffering and sorrow. His secret love was taken by force, which he still secretly mourns today. Due to an accident he was banished by his eldest brother, which forced him to leave Cybertron. On one of Cybertron’s moons, he set up a dimension pocket that was out of the time stream and lived in it from then on. Through this extreme isolation, he lost more and more compassion for others and he became emotionally dull and aloof. Later, Primus revealed to him that he himself was the universe, by his abilities he possessed a power that could destroy the universe itself, whereby they were sealed by Primus for safety’s sake.
Alpha Trion:
He is the Timekeeper’s Twin Spark and represents the History. Not only from Cybertron, but also from the universe. In his Quill, a device in which all the historical data is collected, there are data that nobody knows; Except for himself. Through the timekeeper, he learns much, even from other universes and this data he collects all. In Iacon, where he lived, he set up several data centers to record and store all historical events, including those that are yet to take place. So it may be that even the history of the emergence of many universes are stored in Iacon. There is also other data, data about languages, culture, other species and much more.
The hidden ability of Alpha Trion is a very powerful one, which he can only use with the help of Micronus Prime and Vector Prime, because they can fundamentally change everything. He has the power to rewrite the history of the universe so that certain things never happened. This ability is used only in the most extreme emergencies and fortunately only happened once.
Onyx Prime:
He represents the nature of Cybertron. The flora and fauna. He speaks all animal languages, takes care of fauna and flora and can make exact predictions through his mask, whether past, present or future. Through his animal body, he has the opportunity to move wild and unrestrained. He is also good at flying. After the fight against his siblings, he was so badly damaged that he had to return to the Allspark.
Nexus Prime:
He is the giant of the Primes and later became a combiner. He was once cut into 5 parts by Vector Prime, which made him a combiner. The 5 pieces were formed in 5 Transformers, who had the task to protect access to the dimension pocket of Vector Prime. Over time, however, they forgot their task and returned to Cybertron, where they lived there as normal Transformers. [more information will be added later.]
Micronus Prime:
He is the first Minicon and thus their leader. He was also the best friend of Nexus Prime. They often traveled with Amalgamous and Onyx Prime, where Micronus liked to sit on his shoulders. His ability is to expand and strengthen the skills of his siblings. For example, at Optimus he may increase the ability to reactivate Primus or at Alpha Trion, the ability to transcribe history. [more information will be added later.]
Alchemist Prime:
He is the scientist and manipulator of the elements. He controls them all. Earth, water, fire, wind and also ether. Mainly he prefers to work with fire and ice. Its two wide arms allow you to influence the elements and shape the materials as you need them. Alchemist is the patron of many ancient ancient buildings on Cybertron. He also has his hands on Vector Sigma and has been the main sponsor of Amalgamous, Vector and Alpha. The disadvantage with Alchemist is that he consumes tons of energon by manipulating the elements, so you see him mostly in the area with a Energon drink in his hand. Now he is dependent on the Rarified Energon, the strongest form of the energon. Due to this addiction, he often seems clumsy, confused or oh drunk. It often happened that with his favorite elements he involuntarily harassed other bots by accidentally setting them on fire or freezing them up. Depending on which arm touched the Transformer. What has become of him is unknown to anyone.
Amalgamous Prime:
He is the transformation and the first carrier of a T-Cog, the organ what the Transformers need for their transformations. Amalgamous can transform into whatever he wants and try new things every day. Alone through this ability, he often tends to play his siblings some pranks. Only rarely do these pranks go down well. He is also the inventor of the following generations of T-Cogs, which he invented, but never really built. [more information will be added later.]
Quintus Prime:
He is the dreamer and creator of the Quintessons. This Prime tends to live out his fantasy often and to invent new things again and again. The greatest achievement was the said Quintessons, which later started and lost a war with the people of Cybertron. Quintus himself was later destroyed by the Quintessons himself. [more information will be added later.]
Solus Prime:
She is the Forger and the creator of all the weapons the Primes use. Her works are, for example, the Star Saber of Prima, the Requiem Blaster by Megatronus or the two swords of Vector Prime. In addition, she also worked on the quill, although little, but her hammer was very useful for the rest of the construction. She fell in love with her own brother Megatronus Prime, which kept her for several millennia. Unfortunately, Prima came behind her secret and disapproved of this connection. She was unclean and had to quit. Based on Prima’s testimony, she argued with her eldest brother over and over again and often retires to her smithy. There she was often visited by her other siblings. Later, she was murdered by her own lover, causing the Primes War to break out. She is also the founder of civilization on Caminus and is worshiped there as a goddess.
Megatronus Prime:
He is the one who is also known as the fallen. He stands for the fight and for the war. He was the warrior. However, he can easily be misled for evil and darkness. He hates Prima, but he coveted Vector and Optimus for their powers. Although physically united with Solus, he was also inclined to associate with others of his siblings. So far, he has had little success. During the fight against Unicron, he was briefly obsessed by this and shot Vector Prime, so that his spark could only be saved by a quick intervention of Amalgamous, Alpha and Optimus. From this day on, the quarrel between him and Prima deepened, as his older brother hardly ever trusted him anymore. The connection between him and Solus did not make it any better, but made it worse. Over time, As time passed, he often succumbed to Optimus, trying to seduce him again and again, after the fight against Unicron his desire grew even bigger. But this difference of Megatronus brought him completely down, although here Liege Maximo had more of his fingers in the game, but he was known as the favor in the story. Especially after the murder of Solus Prime.
Liege Maximo:
Liege Maximo, the manipulator or rather the speaker. He is known for his gift of words and language. Much is not known about him, only that he was responsible for the fact that Megatronus was completely known as the Fallen and made him into a rage. He was also later murdered by him. [more information will be added later.]
Optimus Prime:
He is the visionary. The one who was more like Primus than any other Prime. He understood the way of life and where it should lead. He is the one who always reminded the Primes of what they were created for. Due to his great resemblance to Primus and the ability to connect with him, he was desirous and often tempted by Megatronus, whom he always vehemently resisted. He was later used as a lure for Unicron and learned even the art of healing to Amalgamous to assist if one of the Primes be injured dangerous. After fighting Unicron and the Primes War, he voluntarily joined forces with the Allspark and was later reborn as Orion Pax. Alpha Trion knew this and took care of him. By electing the High Council for the new Prime Orion Pax became Optimus Prime. However, he gained his memories of his previous live, only at the second merger with the Allspark.
Finally ready! One day for this post! I can’t more. I need a break. Dx

Seems even more fitting today. 💕
by rikuta
So, I tried my best with this one, I hope you enjoy it. sorry if its a little OOC. i love crow but he's a character I've not had much exposure to. its also not been massively proof read but either way I hope you all enjoy! (I've yet to add the links to the lore books but when its not 11pm I will!)
xoxo
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
At first crow is a bit hesitant with affection. What if he did it wrong? What if he was too much? What if you realised you didn’t like him? This led to a rather frustrating lack of communication with crow hesitant to initiate affection and you pulling back slightly thinking his lack of affection was in response to being overwhelmed by your own actions. After it reaches its peak you both sit down and clear the air. Crow gets things off his chest and realises you more than welcome any affection he wants to give.
At first its secretive, shy. More cuddles and kisses when you’re both relaxing in your apartment. He’ll makes you tea or coffee on cold mornings before heading out, draw you baths when you get back covered in dirt, sweat and something he frankly daren’t ask about. His affection is soft and warm.
Eventually he’ll feel comfortable enough to show a little more affection outside your little slice of privacy. His Pinky will find yours, linking them as you listen to one of Osiris’s lectures, he’ll place a hand on the small of your back, thumb making soft soothing circles.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
His mind is in two sorts. One side shies away, best case scenario guardians would be polite, but he could see the slight contempt for him in their eyes, especially the hunters. The other side, the side desperate for connection with someone, anyone, wants to reach out to you. Its this side that wins when you and crow are paired up on a routine patrol in the dreaming city to some more dangerous areas infested with taken. When he isn’t treated to the usual harshness, the malicious and reluctant compliance with being paired with him, he relaxes a little. Glints incessant chatter in his ear about how nice you were and how he should ask to do something with you in the tower, or talk to you more, or even just smile at you a little more.
To his surprise after the patrol, you offer to take him out to the ramen joint and, after getting over his surprise, he agrees and it blossoms from there.
You’re both very close, attached at the hip and rarely going on missions and patrols without one another. He’s a very protective and considerate friend. Zavala, Osiris, and a few others had shown him forgiveness and understanding but none like you. You truly cared. He’s the first to speak up if he feels the vanguard are putting too much on you and taking advantage of your willingness to help.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
This touch starved man is desperate for anything he can get.
Crows first touch from a guardian was a female titan who had spotted him as he took his first steps into the world of guardians. She proceeded to snap his collar bone and crush his pelvis with a flaming hammer and left him to die there from internal haemorrhaging. After that he decided to cover his face and very rarely sought out the touch of other guardians.
Then came you.
he trusted you enough to sleep near you, let you touch him, knowing you wouldn’t hurt him. You would sit by the campfire, leant against one another, and slowly sink into a peaceful albite short slumber.
After you and crow get closer as friends and something more, you would both find solace in each other’s arms, whether it was after a particularly harrowing mission, loss of a friend or simply a bad day full of minor inconveniences.
After you start dating, he’s so cuddly. In your apartment, he’s all over you. Cooking? he’s there behind you, arms round your waist. Laundry? Same deal. In bed? You don’t need that weighted blanket anymore, you have an awoken male shaped pillow on top of you. He’s very fond of how your fingers gently trace the swirls of light on his face as he relaxes into you.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Crow knows the possibility of being able to settle down is slim to none. Theres always a new threat, a new enemy but he can dream.
This man can’t cook to save his life. He can make edible meals but cook something and make it taste good on purpose, not so much. He puts effort into other things though, always helping out with the chores when you’ve both got the time to do them. Being house proud tends to come second to being a guardian out in the field.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
I honestly can’t see crow leaving you unless you did something heinous that he just can’t forgive. If he did it would be face to face after convincing from Osiris and saint or glint. When he does see you, you have to coax what he’s trying to say out of him because he’s just that nervous. And if you cry? That’ll just break him.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Crow is very quick to commit. As soon as he knows that you both have the same feelings for one another and that he can trust you, he will never stray from your side. Unlike Cayde who would promise to marry you when everything dies down, crow is the opposite. Nothing big or lavish and he’ll try his best to get a nice ring, but he would want everyone to know and to have that promise and commitment. A small ceremony consisting of very close friends, probably officiated by Mara, Zavala or Osiris takes place in the courtyard at dusk as the sun is setting.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Emotionally, crow is very aware. After years of picking up the subtle glares, veiled threats and reading between the lines crow is very in tuned to other people’s emotions, especially yours. He knows when your calm face remains so but your fists client and jaw sets that your moments away from punching the next annoyance that passes you, he notices the tiredness in your eyes no matter how hard you try to hide it and he always notices the glassiness in your gaze as you fight back tears. And he always knows how to help. A calming hand, a warm embrace, a hot drink, and a blanket. He’ll never dismiss your feelings.
Physically, crow is equally as gentle. Uldrens hands were tools of death, Deaths of many and he wants to be anything but that. When touching you he’s always gentle, he treats you with reverences, like you’re the most precious thing he’s held and to him its true.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
This is pretty much covered in the cuddles section. At first, he was a little adverse to touch but after you hug him out of sheer relief he was addicted and realised what he had been missing out.
Crows’ coms had gone down mid mission while the pair of you had been separated during a high-risk mission. No matter what you had tried you couldn’t establish a connection. You reach the exfil point and…. nothing. he wasn’t there. You waited and just as you were about to go and look for him, he emerges looking worse for wear, armour muddied, cloak torn a little at the edges and panting. You didn’t give it a second thought you surge forward, wrapping your arms around him, telling him how worried you were. He freezes but with a little encouragement from glint he relaxes and returns the hug.
Crows’ hugs are gentle but firm, holding you close as he buries his face into your hair or the side of your neck. Nine times out of ten you will have to be the one to end the hug or you’ll be there a long time.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Crow would be the first to say it. Hed take you somewhere scenic, you’d have been dancing round one another’s feeling for a while. He’s a fumbling mess, what you didn’t see was the 15-minute prep talk he got from glint. When he does say it, it’s quiet, he’s holding your hands as he finally says the words. His eyes watching you closely waiting for the rejection or the horror that…never comes. When you return the little 3 words, he’s letting out a breath he’s been holding far too long.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
He gets jealous, not a lot but he does. He likes having your attention. You’re attentive, caring, and sweet, of course he wants to be the one you focus on. He totally doesn’t move your favourite plushie across the room because you cuddled it instead of him that night…. doesn’t matter that he got home after you’d fallen asleep, it should have been him. He never voices these things because he knows its unreasonable and this manifests as frustration and frequent berating of himself. When you notice his change in behaviour and ask him, he comes clean about his feelings, he explains how he feels bad about it and is surprised when you comfort him and explain that a little jealousy is normal and okay, as long as he doesn’t let it get out of hand.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Crow’s kisses are soft and unhurried. He likes to make the most of every single one. He’s a tad inexperienced, before he got Uldrens memories, he had never kissed another, steering away from taking off his mask. And Uldren wasn’t exactly a magnet for physical affection, so crow hasn’t had much practice. Much to his delight, you’re quick to rectify this.
Crow will kiss you everywhere but he’s particularly fond of your wrists, forehead, and nape of your neck when spooning.
Crow adores any kisses you give him, be it lips, cheeks or anywhere else. He won’t admit that he’s very fond of when you kiss a particular spot just under his jaw line that makes him melt.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Crow has a surprising amount of experience with children. Uldren would tell stories to eliksni children, even putting voices on, earning him delighted laughter. Crow misses this, he often tells glit about the times he would tell exciting tales to the children and when Eido suggests him coming to tell the children stories again one day., well…how could he turn down an offer like that, and of course you got an invite.
When he’s with the children, sat cross legged on the floor as the many eyes watch him with an alarming amount of attention, its like a new side of him peaks out, a soft and confident demeanour as he does all the sound effects and voices for the young ones who cant supress their giggles. Occasionally your eyes will meet as he tells the tales, and you don’t mis the faint blush that dusts his cheeks.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Mornings are slow and warm and cosy. Wrapped in the blankets and one another’s embrace. Words are hushed and murmured, quiet giggles and soft smiles as you each fight one another to prevent each other from leaving the warmth of the covers. When you eventually climb out of the bed, crow is making coffee while you cook breakfast before you leave onto perform whatever task the day holds. On occasion alarms will get slumber leading to panicked rushing and mad dashing around the room to get dressed. Once crow face planted the floor trying to put on socks and you laughed so hard you forgot you were late and got a very stern talking to from Zavala and had to put up with crows pouting all day.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Nights are spent wrapped up on the sofa. If you’ve been busy on patrols and missions, then its take out and drinks at home. Glint loves these nights, bouncing between the pair of you and your own ghost as you sit and chat. On nights when the pair of you have a little more energy, walks in the tower and trips to the few restaurants in the last city, trying new food and experiences. Crow loves the long nights sat up talking, its quiet and no one has any expectations of either of you, allowing the pair of you to just be.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Crow knows you likely know his past. Its no secret, most everyone in the tower knew, no doubt at the beginning of your friendship people warned you about him, sent you the same glares, the same spiteful words. Despite this you stick by him, and he finds himself slowly opening up to you. Small stories from Uldrens childhood, moments in the dreaming city, his experiences after being ressed and fears for the future are shared over drinks in the night.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
While crow is a fairly patient guardian, he can be a little brash. Naïve and eager to fight the fight against darkness sometimes he needs to be heled back and reminded of the risks before charging in headfirst. This is even more so if its you the vanguard are discussing throwing into the fight. If you’re sent on a solo mission, he’s pacing the tower until you’re back, until he knows you’re safe. Like Cayde, he has your armour, weapons and ship committed to memory in case the worst happens and he has to go out and find you.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
You are everything to this guardian and he’s going to try and commit everything to memory. Your favourite food, drinks, how you like your tea and coffee, your routines, birthday, anniversary. Everything he can remember he does, anything he’s worried about forgetting, well, glint is more than happy to help.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
When you and crow began to grow closer together as friends, he starts to notice…peculiar things. His heart racing when you’re near, sweaty palms, nervousness. After multiples talks with Osiris, saint and glint he decides maybe he should talk to you. He invites you on a trip to the dreaming city on the promise of showing you his favourite part of the dreaming city’s gardens. That area is, thankfully, devoid of taken or scorn. You both sit in the soft grass surrounded by plants of all colours and the amethyst hue of the surrounding rock formations. He shares some of his most treasured memories until a nudge from glint who gave him an eager whisper about how he’s stalling. Eventually through awkward fumbled words and a new hue of blue/purple on his cheeks which you eventually figure out is him blushing, he confesses his feeling to you. And much to his delight, you reciprocate them.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Very protective. Crow has lost far too much, risked far too much to lose you. Crow would go on every mission he could with you and if he couldn’t, you can bet he’ll be on coms with you the whole time. Crow would have your 6 no matter what, god help anything that tries to take you from him.
Crow won’t admit it but he loves when you defend him against the lessening but still there harsh words of guardians who refuse to trust he is no longer Uldren. Seeing you reprimand them, scolding them with words about how caring and sweet and strong he was and how they were wrong for judging him based on a life he now had no control over. He thinks he’s slick and that you don’t know he likes it, not realising the dumb grin on his face afterwards gives everything away.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He tries, bless him. But he’s not the most experienced with courting. Dates are private affairs rather than big grand gestures. Maybe he got glint to find a recipe to cook your favourite meal ready for you when you get home, picnics somewhere not infested with fallen, cabal or hive and grabbing a meal at a small restaurant. Glint is always eager to help and offering well-meaning but questionable suggestions.
Everyday tasks, he’s making you tea, running your baths, this man will do anything for you if it makes you smile no matter how boring or laborious.
Gifts include anything from a little something you spotted in the bazar but decided not to buy because your saving glimmer to a new titan mark/warlock bond/ hunter cloak specialised just for you.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Crow is incredibly self-sacrificing and at times self-deprecating. Deep down he still holds himself accountable for Uldrens actions. To repent for his actions, he throws himself into risky missions sometime with little regard for his wellbeing. When he’s feeling the effects of nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and the horrors of Uldrens past he pulls away from everyone, choosing solitude rather than expressing to the people close and that care for him that he needs help and he’s struggling.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
After being freed from spider’s grasp Osiris gifted him a cloak made by Eva Lavante which quickly becomes one of his treasured possessions which he, almost excessively, makes sure is clean and pristine. He detests being dirty after missions and patrols so regularly showers and when he comes out of the shower smelling of your body wash and shampoo you can’t help but chuckle, his embarrassed mumbles of “it just smells nice” reaching your ears. You make sure to buy plenty of that brand from then on.
He takes care of his own hair, shaving it shorter on the side himself, very carefully with a mirror. He’s very surprised one evening when you approach him and offer to cut it for him. He eyes you suspiciously and on the promise that you won’t cut it too short or make him bald, he hands you the clippers. Soon it’s a regular thing that he lets you help take care of his hair.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
You are crows’ sanctuary. A place away from the nightmares, haunting memories, and fear. Somewhere warm, safe, and calming. You keep him grounded, from running headfirst into trouble. He hasn’t felt whole in a long time, especially after getting back his memories as Uldren but with your help, he slowly feels like he’s reclaiming his image, his life, and his future.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Glint ADORES you. I mean adores you. The second glint saw you treating crow as crow and not Uldren, he thought you were brilliant. crow wasn’t amazing at selfcare so seeing you look after his guardian kept glint buzzing. Glint regularly finds place on your shoulder or lap when you’re relaxing with crow and crow thanks you when on rare occasion glints chatting gets a bit much and you take the chatter box into the next room, talk of ‘the headless ones’’ drifting through the wall, reaching crows ears, and making him chuckle.
One mission crow returns tired and worn out. While he’s asleep you notice that there’s a clear rip in his beloved cloak that’s left resting on the chair. When he wakes up to see you, needle in hand, occasionally cursing as the needle pricks your finger. He’s surprised to see you diligently sewing his cloak as glint whispers hushed encouragements. That’s when crow knew. That’s when he knew he picked the right person.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
People who refuse to see him as crow and only see Uldren. He understands to a degree how hard it can be but when people throw Caydes death in his face over and over and over, it grates.
Crow wouldn’t like a partner who didn’t like glint, glints always been encouraging and sweet as well as protective of crow and it works the other way to. If you don’t get on with glint or glint doesn’t like you, it’s going to be a hard time getting any closer than friends.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
This guy barely slept. He would take 2-to-3-hour long power naps at best when you first get to know him. Sat in the hanger, hidden amongst the crates cloak acting as a blanket. Leant against you as you read on the sofa, one of your hands in his hair putting him to sleep in seconds.
When you two begin sleeping in the same bed together, he’s worried about keeping you up, with nightmares, restless sleep and late nights but when you both lay in bed, his head on your chest and hand in his hair he melts. And for the first time since being resurrected he has a full night’s sleep, no nightmares, no waking up only hours later, no thrashing in his sleep, just blissful rest.
before the younger shimada became a cyborg he was an incorrigible flirt and once the two of you begin dating it begins to show again
he’s thoughtful and almost playful about it. say you mention how pretty some flowers you see are, expect a bouquet of them in your room the next morning.
if you ask him about it, he’ll act aloof.
“hm? you found flowers in your room? is someone trying to take you from me?”
it will take him a while before he will show his dragon to you outside of battle. it’s a display of trust and intimacy to him so don’t be offended if you ask early on and he refuses.
once he does let you have an up close view of his dragon, you may be surprised by how warm and accepting it is of you. genji’s dragon is an extension of him and his feelings so expect it to circle and wrap itself around you.
another milestone in your relationship is when genji reveals his face to you. while he has come to terms with his altered existence, he knows his face is rather marred.
pepper his face with kisses while insisting that he is beautiful and he may tear up.
if you’re an overwatch agent, he tries not to be overly protective of you.
he knows you can take care of yourself and he knows he must focus on the task at hand rather than fuss over you but there are times he can’t help but take out some enemies for you.
if you are in immense danger and need help, he becomes an unstoppable force. he will not show mercy to those who hurt you.
he’ll train with you, although working out is a bit different for him. (personally i headcanon him having a piece of his admdomin, everything below the knee, and an entire arm missing)
zenyatta adores you and is glad his pupil has found love. zenyatta invites you to morning meditation with the two of them!
hanzo won’t admit that he has any thoughts on the matter but he is secretly very glad that genji has someone who makes him so happy.
genji thinks it’s very cute when you kiss his face plate, especially if you kiss his cheek area.
genji isn’t the jealous type but if he hasn’t been able to spend very much time with you for a prolonged amount of time, expect him to sneak into your room and whisk you away on an impromptu excursion for the night.
since genji doesn’t take his mask off often, he opts to keep his hands on you when you are together rather than kiss you (although if you ask him to remove it he’ll gladly oblige). his cold fingers will place themselves on the curve of your spine, interlock your fingers, and just trace shapes on your arms or palms.
he doesn’t really feel cold often but on the off chance he does if you offer him one of your hoodies (even if it’ll be small on him) he will BLUSH and gratefully accept it. it may not do much but the gesture will touch him.
he’s a big fan of kissing your shoulders and collarbones when he removes his mask. he adores it when you kiss his face and chest.
he gives really good massages despite his mostly metal body.
when he makes you blush he may lightly tease you “oh do you have a fever, love? should i go grab mercy?” you’d punch him if he wasn’t covered in metal.
