Hello! I'm having MayRavi feelings you must forgive me for coming by
BUT! I would like your thoughts on when you think Ravi first started to feel some kind of attraction for May?? Like clearly she's been in the edges of his orbit since the S5 Hen Wedding atleast but surely there must've been a moment when he went 👀😯
I'm personally headcanoning S7 Madney Wedding. The setting is romantic and May wouldn't have been ridiculously young like I'm the Hen Wedding lmao (I think they have a 4 year age gap? S7 would've put her at 22)
On the other hand I think May thought Ravi was cute the minute she saw him (probs in S5) and was just biding the time for the right moment
wait was May even canonically at the HenRen and Madney weddings???
I definitely think Ravi had like mentally categorized May as "Bobby stepdaughter: not dating potential" from the moment he met her, whenever that would've been. i guess if i had to think about it id say he probably didn't really notice her Like That until season 9! my headcanon is that when he saw her taking charge of the triage during the space arc is when he really started to notice her as more than just bobby's stepdaughter/maybe start crushing on her a little bit. then she came in and AGAIN took charge of the auction stuff and i think he probably found that really hot.
on may's side i think she sort of similarly was not trying to scope any firefighters and also i believe she was in a relationship as late as season 6/7? so probably didnt really take notice of ravi other than maybe sort of offhandedly thinking he was hot but not in a "im going to try to pursue this" kind of way. i really think she didnt even have the idea in her head that she liked him until that moment at the auction when she realized she couldnt sit there and watch someone else win him 😂
so my headcanon is it lines up pretty well with what we saw on screen
(also sorry it took me so long to answer this! please know you can always drop into my inbox with mayravi thoughts...)

AU prompt !!! A bit more serious than my usual shenanigans
May and Ravi childhood penpals. She gets an assignment at school to write to a penpal, and she chooses a boy in a kids’ cancer ward. It starts out as just fulfilling the assignment, but after a few letters Ravi writes back and a friendship is struck. It means a lot of both of them and they continue for a few years (maybe until the start of the show) when they lose touch.
May always wonders what happened to her childhood friend, until one day she and Ravi are talking after a date and he brings up letters he used to get, and how much they meant to him…
Idk how much you’d need to stretch canon, but I find the idea of them reconnecting once their adults to be very sweet (I also don’t know how old Ravi is supposed to be ??? So I don’t know when makes sense that they’d start writing but that’s why it’s AU lmao)
woohoo! let’s go! Uh, current day is season 8 divergent
1. May’s Grade 5 class starts doing a penpal program with a local children’s hospital. May writes about her annoying little brother and the bracelets she and her friends made on the weekend. She doesn’t know who it’s going to yet, so she doesn’t know what they might be interested in. Her dad let her help with some of the new flowers in the garden a couple weeks ago and she adds that in too. Their teacher has them sign with just their initials. When her mom hears that she nods in approval. May doesn’t know why.
2. She gets a letter back from a boy a year older than her. He has two sisters, one older, one younger. He tells her he’s in the hospital for cancer treatment. He doesn’t usually have to stay there, but they’re trying a new chemo and they don’t want him to have a bad reaction at home. May thinks that sounds pretty awful. He’s interested in the garden and the bracelets, and what games her brother is playing. May draws him a photo of the garden and names as many of the flowers as she can remember, and tells him about Harry’s love of Mario Kart and Pokémon. She takes off her bracelet and slips it into the envelope, because she’d learned how to make adjustable ones and it should fit him. She does also ask for his favourite colours so she can make him one that’s just for him, not a reused one.
3. His favourite colour is green, so May makes him a bracelet with four different colours of green, plus a cream to split them up. It takes her most of the weekend, because the first one comes out crooked and she remakes it so he’ll have a better one. She keeps the first one for herself. He’s good at math, and he sends her some tips to help out, since he’s already done that year. She does better on her next math test and her dad is so proud. So is her penpal. She sends him updates on the garden and her mom helps her press one of the flowers to send to him. They don’t have any green flowers, but she picks a daisy with some nice leaves so he at least has a little green. A fresh flower would probably be better but she doesn’t know how long it takes for the letters to get there.
4. They don’t do penpals in sixth grade, but the last May had heard, he was about to get out of the hospital. She hopes he’s doing well. The green bracelet lasted most of the summer, until it fell off when she was weeding the garden with her dad. She has a box for birthday cards and letters from her grandparents, and she adds in her penpal’s letters and the frayed green bracelet.
5. May kind of forgets about her penpal over the years, just thinking about him when she has to rearrange her letter box. Luckily it’s at her apartment when Mom and Bobby’s place catches fire, because she would have been devastated to loose all of that on top of everything else. Honestly, she and Harry were luckier than Mom and Bobby, because most of their current stuff was at May’s apartment or with Dad, and May’s been obsessively updating their family photos ever since she worked at dispatch and realized just how many things can happen to a house.
6. In the aftermath of the fire, May runs into the 118 a lot more. They’re always at Mom and Bobby’s apartment trying to figure out what to do about their (hopefully temporary) Captain Gerrard problem. One day she and Ravi are leaving at the same time, and almost bump into each other going out the door. They laugh and ride the elevator down together and Ravi asks her if she wants to get a coffee.
7. Ravi’s really fun, May realizes. They leave the coffee shop with each other’s numbers and plans for dinner.
May and Ravi’s shared experiences of being first responders makes dating a lot easier, actually. May’s finishing up her last year at university, and Ravi’s shift hours are weird, but they make it work, texting and calling when they can’t see each other in person.
It’s a little weird when the rest of the 118 finds out — May has to borrow Ravi’s car when her’s is in the shop, so she drives him to the station — but otherwise it’s really, really good.
8. Mara reminds May of herself, a little bit. Their trauma is different but they both had to deal with too much too young. She tries to remember what she liked at that age, to connect with Mara, and remembers the bracelets she used to make in middle school. She stops at a craft store and picks up one of the bags of thread for friendship bracelets.
The first few she makes are wonky, but eventually she gets back into the groove. She wants to have nice examples for Mara.
She brings her supplies over to Ravi’s house one night, thinking she can make him one. When she asks for his favourite colour, he says green, and she picks out a few different shades. She almost goes with a white to separate them, but picks up the cream instead because it looks nicer next to the greens, a little softer than the white.
Ravi watches curiously as she cuts the thread and gets started.
“I used to have a bracelet like that when I was a kid,” he says.
“Oh yeah? Did you learn how to make them at summer camp? Or did your sisters make you one?” May’s focused on the bracelet.
“Uh, a penpal actually,” Ravi tells her. “She gave me one that she’d already made, then made me a green one — that’s been my favourite colour forever.”
“A penpal?” May looks up at him.
Ravi nods. “Yeah, when I was in the hospital. It was like a school project thing, but she was really nice.”
“Did she have a little brother and garden with her dad?”
“…yes,” Ravi says slowly. “How did you know that?”
“MG,” May points at herself. “And you were RP.”
Ravi sits down next to her. “Wow, what are the chances?”
“I have no idea,” May laughs.
“I loved getting your letters,” Ravi says earnestly. “I couldn’t wear the bracelets right away because of the IVs and stuff, but as soon as I got out I wore them.” He smiles. “And I really loved hearing about your garden. Being inside was so boring.”
“Next you’re going to tell me you still have them,” May laughs.
“I do,” Ravi says. “Well, they’re at my parents’, but I still have them.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“You know,” May says, an idea forming in her mind, “you have a lot of space in your yard here.”
“Yeah?”
“We could make a garden here.”
“With lots of daisies?”
“With lots of daisies.”
Ravi looks at her. “Do you need to finish that bracelet right now?”
“No.”
Ravi scoops her off the couch as she laughs, carrying her down the hall to the bedroom.

hi beautiful hugh @tanktopdiaz idk what the rules of this tag game are but i entered a fugue state & wrote this mayravi scene that's been living in my head for a few months for u <3 ENJOY !
The first time Ravi tried to speak to her, May shot him in the face. She’d gone for the mountains; he found her watering her horse in a rocky, shallow riverbed, fifteen or twenty feet below him.
“Miss Grant!” Ravi called from his own horse, leaning forward to look over the broad ledge of the outcropping they were perched on.
Her gaze swung up and over her shoulder, and she turned to face him squarely against the sun. She was wearing a red checked blouse and a dark fringed riding skirt, her hat a pale halo around her upturned face. Her expression didn’t betray any emotion; she looked calm and strikingly beautiful.
“Your mother sent me,” he went on. “I have a letter, written and signed by her hand—”
“You can tell her I’m alright, and I’ll come home soon,” May interrupted, one hand stroking her horse’s withers, the other at her waist with a thumb hooked through her belt. “Mr. — ?”
“Oh, excuse me!” Ravi felt a bolt of heat rise to his face. “Ravi Panikkar, at your service, Miss Grant.”
He touched his fingers to the brim of his hat. The corner of her mouth twitched.
“Mr. Panikkar,” May said, rolling his name between her teeth like a piece of hard candy. “Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
He ducked his head awkwardly.
“Likewise, ma’am.”
At this, she smiled— a real smile, easy and bright, a twinkle in her eye. Ravi was sure his face was doing something ridiculous. A breeze, passing between them, twirled the ends of her hair with its fingers.
“Tell me, does your horse startle?” She asked warmly.
He huffed a bemused laugh.
“No? Wouldn’t be much of a horse around these parts otherwise.”
“Well, that’s good,” May said, still smiling that sweet, easy smile, and then, just as easily, she pulled a revolver out of her saddlebag, fired a single shot straight at his head, leapt onto her horse, and disappeared among the trees. A hot, sweet sting split Ravi’s cheek; his horse stumbled away from the edge, but otherwise remained steady.
“So that’s how you want to play it, huh, little lady,” he muttered furiously, but as he pressed his kerchief to the wound, he found that he was smiling.
