Pocketknife[Shiv/Pocket] Headcanons - Domestic

I absolutely do ship asks!! You can also find what kind of requests I accept here on my AO3! Hope you enjoy this, I definitely got a little carried away haha.

Despite growing up with a silver spoon in their mouth half their life, Pocket actually is a decent cook. Nothing mind blowing, but they usually do most of the cooking. Shiv likes to be nosey in the kitchen while they cook, which Pocket acts like it annoys them to no end… But really they enjoy having his company around. They'll cook together sometimes as well. Whenever it's Shiv's night to figure out food if his partner isn't feeling up to it, most of the time they're going to go out or order in. This guy can make like two dishes beyond the basic array and to be honest he doesn't really want to learn anymore lmao

Pocket's odd jobs they take lead them all over the city, but if there's ever a chance that them and Shiv can walk most of the way to work together? Shiv is all over that shit. It's rare that their schedules line up enough for it to happen, but when it does, you can bet your ass Shiv's insisting they walk together. “Now, you can either loop your arm through mine, we can go hand in hand, or I can just sling my arm around ‘ya. What's it gonna be?” Once again, Pocket acts like they're embarrassed by the insistence, but… Really they love it.

Shiv prefers date nights out, while Pocket prefers them in. When they go out, it's usually bowling, a movie, or a jazz bar they can relax and have a few drinks at. Shiv likes to explore different places, but he definitely is always coming back with his date to a few of his favorite spots. When they stay in, Pocket will always bring out a new, lavish recipe that they cook together. They'll wine and dine each other inside before settling down with an activity Pocket's come up with. It could be something from a board game, to a craft, watching something on the television/listening to the radio, and what have you.

They're both pretty good about waking up early. There isn't a situation between them where one always oversleeps and needs to be woken up by the other. Deep down, Pocket wishes that Shiv would oversleep sometimes just a little because they'd love to wake him up with breakfast or a cup of coffee. Sometimes, though, Pocket lounges after they wake up, and often tries to convince Shiv to stay in bed a little longer with them. It works a little under half the time, and although most of the time it turns into cuddling and chatting about nonsense, some of the time it ends up with them needing a shower afterwards.

Although the bathroom is cramped, they try to share the space, and that's only because Shiv takes forever to get ready. He's got a whole fucking step by step process he has to do for his morning routines and he will not leave the house unless he does it. Pocket finds it charming, but also very annoying. Thankfully, Shiv understands that maybe the time spent getting his hair to look just perfect among all of his other grooming habits is a bit abnormal, so he'll adjust however he can to make it easy for Pocket to get in and do what they need to do.

Pocket loves rainy days. It means they get to stay in and cuddle if there's no pressing work to be done because Shiv would actually rather die than let his hair get all fucked up outside for everyone to see. It took him months just to let his pride ease enough to let Pocket see him with his perfect ‘do undone.

Shiv thinks that the frogs Pocket keeps are cute, but he doesn't wanna interact with them beyond that. He's not a huge animal person, but he understands it's Pocket's thing. Truth be told, they could probably come home with a couple of stray animals and Shiv would probably bite his tongue and let it happen even if he doesn't really want them. It would probably end up with the stereotypical situation, though, of the dad who begrudgingly lets the animal stick around and then ends up becoming best friends with it LMAO

Speaking of frog pets!-- Shiv will get little things to put in the terrarium he sees out and about while working. “Got this cool vamp’ skull, think it'd look good in the tank?” Pocket has also insisted that Shiv name one of the frogs, and although they're not particularly in love with the name Legs McJumper, they wouldn't dare to rename her.

They both take care of each other's wounds when they come home banged up. It's a lot more common for Shiv to be roughed up rather than Pocket, as the latter tries to avoid getting into a scuffle when they can. Shiv will try to get his wounds tended to at headquarters if they're particularly nasty because they have some good tech for it, but if he has a couple cuts or bruises he'll just make his way home instead. Acts like he doesn't enjoy being doted on and treated by Pocket but he does, of course. Pocket, on the other hand, actually truly doesn't enjoy being tended to. They tend to keep the minor injuries to themselves if they can, but Shiv has both a keen eye and nose and can sniff out blood or injury pretty easily. He doesn't like seeing Pocket hurt, but he does enjoy hearing about how they kicked ass(hopefully HAH).

Oooh lemme see what I've cooked up so far

Lash Headcanons

Sure, we all know Jacob Lash is an asshole, but he's surprisingly good with kids. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't want to sit around and babysit your tyke by any means, but he's pretty good at entertaining them. He's also not a complete dick to children... But he can be a bit of a prick in an amusing sense. "Hey, kid, did you know that the Lash can have all the candy he wants? You can't, though. Gotta eat your veggies to stay strong."

Despite the teasing above, Lash actually does eat pretty clean. Clean in the sense of no junk like candy, overly greasy or fried foods, and rarely will you see him drink a soda. He also doesn't drink a lot, and if he does drink, it's always something on the drier end, like gin or vodka.

...That also being said... He does have a sweet tooth. He pretends not to, but if he's ever going to stray outside of his diet, it's going to be for a baked good. His favorite are brookies.

Lash thinks he's better than everyone. Really, truly better. He doesn't hold a lot of respect for anyone... Anyone beside Seven. He's very intrigued by Seven, and holds him to a higher regard than most others. He's probably the one guy out there he wouldn't straight up go in and have a brawl against without training.

He's a bit of a comic geek. Hides it pretty well, but you can bet this mf is buying his favorite new comics on release. In fact, he has a guy who gets him releases a day or two early so he doesn't have to go wait in a line somewhere.

I don't have many yet just because I need some suggestions in my inbox for HC's/themes :, ) BUT I do have a couple!!

Abrams Headcanons

Abrams is NOT a patient man. Despite being a detective, a profession notorious for having long periods of stints with no activity towards what you're trying to narrow down, he grows easily frustrated when there's been no progress on a case as of recently.

Of all the vices he partakes in, drinking is his biggest. When he’s sitting down to review files, have a chat, after work, or during dinner, he’s usually seen with a glass of amber in his clutches. Bourbon neat is his preference. 

He’s kinda full of himself. He knows he’s a good detective, and he’s not afraid to fuck around and find out(with the instance of assuming he’ll come out on top). He’s a lot of brawn. 

…That being said, Abrams is well educated. He’s actually quite good with the law, and had considered pursuing a degree in that field instead. Unfortunately, he can be easily riled up should someone take repeated jabs at him, or something not go his way. It would always spell disaster in court. 

He prefers cases that are quick to close. Although he enjoys hunting around New York or other cities to pursue what is needed, any case that lasts for more than a few months really grinds his gears. He prides himself on his quick, thorough work, but that’s because he tends to be picky about the cases he takes on. 

He also did PI work for a while. He was good at it, but wasn’t good enough at trying to not look like a big ass demon obviously stalking someone. 

He can be a bit awkward when it comes to dealing with emotional situations. If there’s ever a time on a case where he has to question someone bawling their eyes out and he can’t calm them down within a couple minutes, he usually walks away from it. He tries to remain cordial, of course. “Here’s my card. Call me when you have the headspace to talk.” He does not want to sit there comforting a weeping widow.

Infernus Headcanons

So happy for the ask, I love Infernus! Definitely wanna explore his character some more. Sorry lotta these are pretty heavily leaning on the bartender side of him while I get my head wrapped around him ^^

Fern is a gambling man. Although he doesn’t participate in any heavy gambling anymore(like the poker games he hosts), he enjoys taking small bets with his frequent customers. This could be about anything from possible scores for a sports game, to what a random customer will do by the end of the night. There’s nothing he won’t bet on within reason. 

Although it’s not unusual to see anything supernatural anymore, really, he enjoys doing little tricks here and there to entertain his guests. Little spurts of fire from his fingers in a small, flashy array usually gets a smile outta people, and that’s what he aims for. 

He’s a little picky when it comes to his booze. He prefers top shelf, and you usually won’t find him at a dive bar. He does enjoy checking out smaller, new venues, though.

Loves to hear stories and meet new people!! It’s one of his favorite parts of bartending. He’s also a great listener, but won’t hold his punches if you ask for advice or give him the go ahead to be honest with his commentary.
