Yandere Dwarf father (platonic)
CW: None, just a big info dump
Gregor was just your typical Dwarf male. He spent his day hammering away at swords, though he never made them perfect. Humans would buy half-baked swords for three times the price, so he had no need to put in the same effort as he put into the dwarfs. One morning, he was climbing down the mountain when he noticed smoke near the village. As he got closer, he saw the remains of a decimated village. Burned, crisp bodies lined the streets, air swirling with ash. But he heard crying.
Gregor looked into a bassinet that held... you. A beautiful baby human, no older than six months. You were crying out in hunger and pain, ash cover your tiny body. Your soft skin was red from the fire, and you were clearly desperate for your mother.
Seeing you so desperate and pathetic broke the dwarf's heart, and so he took you back to his home in the mountain, cleaned you up, and tried nursing you back to health.
Years passed, and Gregor had accepted you as his sweet child, though he was hyperprotective of you. There was this one man who commonly came into his shop, a half-elf named River. He seemed sweet. He would play with you and play nice, but Gregor didn't trust any strange man around his little angel. Least of all an elf. River might secretly be some pervert looking to kidnap an innocent child.
However, Gregor's protectiveness seemed to also apply to romantic interest. The dwarf would chase off boys and girls who tried to ask you out, even if it was in just a puppy love way.
But he loved you. Gregor loved to gather your small body into his arms and kiss your little face, especially when you were a baby. He also tried to keep you away from everything. He knew 6 were fragile, but you once got stitches for cutting yourself on a dagger he made. It wasn't even a good dagger! It was a dulled down, shitty dagger he made for you to practice hunting with! But it seems humans are too fragile even for D-grade dwarf weapons.
Your fragility also scares him. Like, a lot. Gregor can't do anything without worrying it's going to kill you! Can't leave weapons on low shelves, has to make sure his meat is cooked all the way through, can't even grow certain plants otherwise you might eat them and die! By the gods, raising you is difficult. But he loves you more than life itself.
