I love to yap in the comments so don't hesitate to chat!

💍 Would they ever get married? What would the proposal look like?

Yes, they would get married because the political benefits are just too good to pass up---with the northernmost and southernmost territories in Prythian under their control, they'd control 50% of the fae coastline in Prythian with their union as well as border to the human realms. The prospect of power would be irresistible to Rhysand, and for Tamlin the ability to better defend his citizens.

Rhysand would take Tamlin up to his cabin in Illyria, and after a night of sauna and [redacted] he'd take him outside to look at the stars and Tamlin would shiver because he's cold and ask Why are we out here? and Rhysand would say something cheesy like Because the stars are beautiful tonight. And Tamlin would be like They're beautiful every night, and then Rhysand would say Not as beautiful as you and propose. The ring would be a moss mountain range against a gold band with a single sapphire in it so it would match with Tamlin's Spring Court aesthetic and love of nature but still remind him of the Night Court and Rhysand. The ring Tamlin would get him later would be a golden wolf poison ring (with two emerald eyes) which would look badass enough to be worn in the Court of Nightmares but remind him of himself while they're apart, and the poison part because he's paranoid about the safety of his fiance (Rhysand thinks it's romantic and loves plotting who he's going to murder with it).

👀 Who gets jealous more easily and how obvious are they about it?

🧸 for tamsand (doomed sappy romantics)

😳 for tamcien (they've lived together so long.....)

🧸 I just answered here!

😳 What’s the most embarrassing thing they’ve walked in on the other doing?

Tamlin: Lucien bending over in awkward positions naked to check himself out in the mirror. Tamlin just laughs and tells him he doesn't have to look perfect, he loves him the way he is. Lucien just blushes because centuries of being a courtier have made him hyper aware of body image and trying to look perfect, and then when he's still speechless Tamlin pulls him in for a hug and kiss.

🧸 Who still has the very first gift the other ever gave them?

RHYSAND because Feyre STOLE Tamlin's! 😭 (The Baldric full of Illyrian daggers). Rhys gave Tamlin a baldric full of Illyrian daggers before anything romantic started between them, when they were just two sons of High Lords on a cultural exchange of sorts and Rhysand was taking Tamlin under his wing as a mentor. The daggers were meant to be thrown and replaced, so the originals are gone. But the baldric was enchanted to not wear out even over centuries so that was the original. Tamlin always wore it, even after family murder night, because he still wanted to make amends with Rhysand and it was a subtle sign of him reaching out.

Rhysand still has a gift that Tamlin gave him, which is a magically preserved blue rose which he created with his magic - not found in nature, it symbolizes mystery, the unattainable, a one-of-a-kind extraordinary love for someone with a non-conformist spirit. It was how Tamlin had expressed his feelings for Rhysand for the first time, and how their friendship turned into something more. After family murder night, Rhysand keeps it stashed in the back of one of the Night Courts most heavily warded treasure troves. He never looks at it, but knows it's still there because he would know if the wards had been breached (it hasn't)

🌙 Who’s the little spoon & who pretends they hate it but secretly loves it? ☕ Who’s the morning person & how do they lure the night owl out of bed? 🩹 How do they comfort each other after nightmares? 🌸 What nickname do they have for each other that would mortify them if others heard?

(The morning/night owl one feels obvious, but I'm very interested in your take on how one lures the other out of bed...)

🌙 Rhysand is the little spoon, but don't tell anyone that. He pretends he hates it and complains constantly and will say it'll crush his wings if he has them out so he HAS to be big spoon but due to Tamlin being bigger than him and also more cuddly, Tam is usually the big spoon anyways. (Tamlin like both though, and if Rhysand is being stubborn and insists on being big spoon Tamlin likes the feeling of being secure in his arms)

☕ Contrary to popular belief, Rhysand is the morning person! He gets up early to prepare and drink his tea slowly and to the very precise specifications he likes, while plotting world domination. Tamlin sleeps in a lot because he either stays up late a lot doing paperwork, or because he's depressed. Rhysand doesn't typically lure him out of bed, he just yanks the covers off and announces very loudly it's time to get up but if he sees that Tamlin is having a bad day with his mental health he'll curl up next to him and kiss and cuddle him until he can lure him out with some michievous prank or misdeed to cheer him up.

🩹 Since Rhysand's nightmares will manifest with darkness and wind, Tamlin releases the glamour on his powers to let himself glow, and puts up a wind shield around them to protect the both of them while trying to shake Rhysand awake. Most of Rhys's nightmares are about Amarantha so Tamlin will immediately let go of him once he's awake, and be very cautious, asking if Rhys wants to be touched or not. If he's okay with it he'll just cuddle him and kiss his forehead until they fall back asleep.

Tamlin is very touch averse when he wakes and sometimes get out of bed to pace until he calms down, and Rhysand just sits quietly watching him, sometimes using his daemati powers to just mentally be there with Tam in his mind while not intruding. Tamlin will shift into beast form sometimes after nightmares so Rhysand will pet him until he falls asleep.

Tamsand

Tamlin can fall asleep anytime and anywhere, especially outside on a grassy hill in the sun on a cool spring day (he stays up late a lot doing paperwork and needs lots of naps). He's just very unguarded and trusting around Rhysand and he finds it adorable (until family murder night and he's never stopped worrying since about someone attacking him in his sleep 😢)
