y'all said something about Nora/mir backstory lore?

you.

I like you.

Noramir and (hcs on) how they met :3!!

using she/they for Nora and he/it for Cypher

Amir met Nora while at the market when he was in his early 20s, it was absolutely smitten for her as soon as it laid eyes on her. Amir didn't really believe in the whole love at first sight thing, but as soon as he saw that woman smile is when he knew that maybe it did exist

Amir never really talked to Nora. He was too nervous that he would be thought of as a creep. Catching glimpses of her was enough.

On the other hand, Nora knew about this man and his absolutely adorable fascination with her.

I headcanon that Nora is very emotionally intelligent, she knows how to read people, how to lie well, etc.

As soon as she started seeing this man everywhere it confirmed her thoughts, and she started to enjoy his company. Some people would find this creepy, but she knew why he stuck around so much, so they just found it cute :3

Nora was the first one to initiate a conversation, and poor young Amir didn't know how the hell to react

I mean, what do you do when this absolute masterpiece of a woman that you've been 'secretly' watching comes up to you and honestly just starts flirting?

Also, Nora is taller than Amir. Why? Because I said so.

Amir being the bisexual disaster it is was very stunned when the woman of his dreams walked up to him and started complimenting him and his 'pretty face'.

This woman's smile could kill him I swear

From there they became friends, and I swear they're inseparable. They do everything they can together

And so Amir (somehow) falls harder.

Amir was actually the one who asked Nora out !! It got a bouquet of their favourite flowers and very nervously asked them out

I swear Nora had to hold back from kissing him right there and then because she thought she would've killed him if she did.

They went on a date at a cafe they both like

THEY MAKE ME HAPPY.

I’m writing a multi-chapter, canon divergent AU about Cypher, Nora, and their daughter, in which Nora and the little one (due to circumstances in a previous whumptober fic) come to VALORANT’s HQ seeking sanctuary and shenanigans ensue. You can read it here: X

This fic also includes:

-Headcanons on Nora as a character and individual + their little one 

-Headcanons of memories and flashbacks on Cypher and Nora’s relationship, how they fell in love, etc. 

Please note that this story is Mature right now, but will receive Explicit chapters in the future, so the rating is planned to change. Explicit chapters are going to be in standalone updates excluding major plot progression so they are skippable, but still there nonetheless. 

I wish you perfect ping and many an ace.

i love them so much... perhaps too much for someone who like. knows next to nothing about nora in hindsight. everything i love about her is practically headcanon LMAO riot is gonna shoot my daydreams down out of the sky at some point BUT UNTIL THEN i'm so so in love with her

3.) Most common argument?: they've known each other for so long and love each other and each other's habits so much they're p well accustomed to each other and mostly just play argue over small matters like nora stealing the blankets from amir at night in her sleep or amir leaving his study a bit of a mess that only nora can figure out how to clean and organize again

6.) What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?: Cypher most loves Nora's laugh and smile (and honestly? kind of everything about her 'cos idk i just imagine he's really so sweetly head-over-heels for her...) and Nora most loves his sense of humor and how affectionate he really is. He can be p elusive and mysterious to others but she gets to see the side of him that loves to be held close as they fall asleep every night and expresses all of their goodbyes in tender kisses

8.) Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?: I feel like they both call each other by their birth names (and some common pet names) but idk they're always spoken with so much love and genuine admiration it sounds different out of each other's mouths

11.) Who tops?: A little nsfw but I won't go too into detail here... I'll just say Nora and leave it at that but you can ask for elaboration on my nsfw alt if you'd like...

18.) Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?): This is not quite going to answer the question. but. Cypher actually cooks the most out of the two of them when they're physically together. But Nora is the one into leaving little notes and messages around the house or in his pockets or bag to find later on. Usually affectionate little compliments, or "I love you,"'s, or "I'm at your side, wherever you go," things like that.

25.) Who needs more assurance?: Changes between the two of them, imo, some days are just rougher for each other than others

26.) What would be their theme song?: this is going to sound Interesting. but. plastic love is my go-to song when i write them.

same i love them... a lot of this is based off hc/my own interpretation of Nora's character as ofc we don't know a lot about her personality

23.) Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?: Cypher, 100%. Quick wit, quick mind, and loves to say anything that he's sure is going to make her smile.

29.) One headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart: One idea I'm exploring in my current Cypher/Nora fic is that Cypher undeniably loves her and their daughter, but desperately wants to prioritize their safety and keep work separated from them as much as possible. This means obscuring his face, of course, but also minimal communication.

If/when Nora and their kid are around, he can be very reserved and hesitant to indulge in time with them as much as he wants to, as he is so royally afraid of fucking things up by either leading them into danger or, due to their frequent distances, being out of touch as they change and grow as people. Imagine going months or even YEARS at a time without seeing the people you love and how much they change in that timeframe. Some people can become unrecognizable altogether, and he's worried one day they just won't click anymore and may be practical strangers.
