Azrien/Luzriel

falls asleep on the couch

Azriel. The poor guy has nightmares all the time, so he gets up and walks around, looks out the windows, lies down on the couch. Lucien wakes up to an empty bed and goes to find him. He snuggles into Azriel’s arms and Azriel holds him very, very tightly. So tightly it hurts. Lucien doesn’t mind.

makes friends with the neighbors

Honestly… neither of them. Lucien charms them and gets them a place in the local Homeowner’s Association or whatever, but they aren’t friends. He and Az prefer to stay to themselves.

is the adventurous eater

Azriel. Well… that’s not really accurate. Az will eat anything. He doesn’t have a preference at all. And Lucien’s super picky. It’s a very odd combination that will occasionally result in them literally only having packaged junk food in the house for two straight weeks until Cassian turns up and fills their freezer with hamburger casserole because he says they look terrible. (They do. Cassian is considering moving into their spare room until they can get better at self-care.)

hogs the covers at night

Neither. They both just clutch each other under a million blankets, since they’re both always cold, even with Lucien’s powers. (Once he becomes happier on a regular basis, his glow helps.)

forgets to do the dishes

Lucien. He really does mean to, but he just forgets. Az rolls his eyes and washes them when Lucien isn’t there. It’s like magic.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Azriel. Since he’s unsurprisable. It’s all small stuff, like a pretty stone he saw on the banks of the Sidra, or a pastry that was in a window he thought Lucien would like, but it means the world to Lucien.

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Lucien, the slob. Azriel is immaculately neat at all times. He doesn’t understand how Lucien isn’t. Lucien is working on teaching him his ways.

stays up til 2 AM reading

Lucien. Az may be up at all hours, but it’s not to read. He just can’t sleep, but he can’t concentrate enough to read.

sings in the shower

Both of them. Duets when they shower together. It’s one of the only times Lucien hears Az giggle, and it makes him so ridiculously happy that he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to making Az that happy.

takes the selfies

Lucien. Az hates getting his picture taken. Lucien is always having to tug him back into the frame.

plans date night

Neither. All their date nights are completely spontaneous. They usually involve sitting together and talking quietly and listening to music and lots of kissing.

Tarcien

falls asleep on the couch

Lucien. Everywhere. Tarquin’s courtiers are constantly tripping over their High Lord’s sleepy boyfriend. I think I mentioned in a previous Tarcien post that Lucien finds the Summer Court sun soporific for quite some time. I stand by that headcanon. Tarquin never ever lets anyone wake him up.

makes friends with the neighbors

Tarquin. No one can help liking Tarquin, and Tarquin likes nearly everybody. Lucien does not understand this, as he’s one of those people who has His People and then Everyone Else.

is the adventurous eater

Tarquin. He’ll try anything and likes almost all of it. He keeps trying to get Lucien to try sushi. Lucien keeps refusing. “That fish was alive five minutes ago, Tarquin, you didn’t even cook it, and now you want me to eat it???”

hogs the covers at night

Neither. It’s hot in the Summer Court, and Tarquin practically radiates heat. Lucien likes this a lot.

forgets to do the dishes

Tarquin. He’ll start, and then abandon them halfway through. His servants always sigh and finish them. They know he’s trying.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Lucien. Especially on days when Tarquin’s very busy, Lucien will do something very romantic for them, or get all his meetings cancelled the next day so they can go sailing, or pounce on him with surprise kisses. (They’re Tarquin’s favorte kind.)

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Lucien. Tarquin folds his neatly and leaves it on a chair. He’s trying to teach Lucien to do the same. He is not succeeding.

stays up til 2 AM reading

Tarquin. “Lucien, did you know that dolphins only sleep with half of their brain at once?” “Go the fuck to sleep, Tarquin.”

sings in the shower

Tarquin. He has an amazing voice, and isn’t afraid to belt out songs at the top of his lungs. Plus, he really likes showers. Anything with water is his favorite. Sometimes if he takes too long, Lucien will heat his water until he has to get out.

takes the selfies

Lucien. But Tarquin’s the one who gets them framed and hung around the palace, much to the dismay of Varian and Cresseida. Tarquin is just so proud of his boyfriend and loves him so much and WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT. “Tarquin. Everyone does. Literally. Everyone. Lucien’s been kidnapped five times now by separate people because everyone knows it.” Tarquin, frantically pinning more pictures of Lucien to the wall:  “I DON’T CARE THERE AREN’T ENOUGH PICTURES OKAY”
