I do! This is one of those requests that I received like a year ago, and am finally answering. :’I

If the reader gets injured, whatever the situation, their first focus is always on making sure the danger’s passed. If it’s a combat situation, one of them gets you out of the way, while the other either lays down cover fire or takes out the remaining hostiles.

When there’s no immediate danger… that’s one less thing to distract them from the fact that you’re hurt. Locus immediately sets his jaw and takes charge, assessing the severity of your wounds and figuring out if it’s something they can take care of themselves or if they need to bring you to a professional. Renders what first aid he can. The knot in his brow tightens a little more with every pained noise you make.Felix, meanwhile, doesn’t need to be the one holding it together right now, and is thus looking paler than usual. When he’s not focused on getting whatever Locus is telling him to get, he’s trying to find something else to do so he doesn’t have time to panic. He’s holding you, and stroking your hair, and coaxing you into squeezing his hand or biting his shoulder as hard as you need to. And all the while he’s talking talking talking, saying anything and everything that might possibly distract you from the pain.

If it’s a small injury, that’s easily handled and quickly recovered from, that’s the end of it. Maybe they both do some hovering during the recovery stages to make sure you don’t reinjure yourself somehow–Felix denying he’s hovering–but then that’s the end of it.

Hm… this one’s tricky. It could go several ways, but pretty much all of them are instigated by Felix in some way. (I think I’m gonna go too into detail because I think about this stuff way too much, so… I hope you wanted this much stuff. ;;;; )

In my favorite meeting headcanon, the reader is one of Megan Wu’s close friends. I like to think that Megan and Siris host small dinner parties and barbeques for intimates, and Locus and Felix probably start getting invited to them, once Siris warms up to them and starts trusting them more as partners. They get introduced to the reader here, and Felix immediately gets a familiar look in his eye. Siris tells him NO, this is Megan’s friend, you will NOT; and Locus just sort of rolls his eyes and lets Felix do what he wants, per usual. (If Lolix is happening, it’s relatively casual, and Locus lets Felix have his flights of fancy– knowing they never get serious.)What ends up happening tho is the reader really makes an impression on Felix, and he keeps thinking about them. He spends more time with them, and occasionally starts babbling to Locus about them and how weird it is that he likes someone this much, and wow, he honestly can’t remember the last time he was this into someone? That’s weird, isn’t it Sam? And, and…Locus starts getting annoyed. Not jealous annoyed, just regular old annoyed-annoyed because Felix just won’t shut up about the reader. Locus starts subconsciously avoiding them whenever he’s at a Wu party, because he’s just sick of them and hearing about them in general. But as fate would have it, he does end up talking to them, and they make an impression on him too… and it’s just sort of a landslide of events after that, coalescing in Felix throwing his hands up in aggravation a month or two later and going, fine. Threesome.

Another idea I really like is that they meet and become interested in the reader at the same time (either Lolix isn’t happening, or it’s in the very early stages). Like– maybe the reader works at a 24-hour diner they grab a lot of 3am meals at; or it’s Megan’s friend again; or they’re all passengers on the same interplanetary shuttle; or they meet the reader at a bar, or through another mutual friend.Basically what happens is: Locus doesn’t usually go after people, even when he’s interested. But this person is too nice for Felix, he’s kind of annoyed at Felix right now anyway, and the idea of swooping in and grabbing this person right out from under Felix’s nose is an idea that’s actually pretty interesting to him.They’re both talking to the reader, Felix is flirting, and then Locus utterly blindsides Felix with something super smooth that the reader responds really well to. Felix is stunned for a minute, then recovers. A competition unfolds.

Maybe the reader is a police officer, or a fellow bounty hunter they meet while dropping a bounty off at a police station. If it’s after they’ve become mercenaries, the reader is either a gun/armorsmith who modifies their equipment, or another mercenary they run into at a bar/on a job. Maybe a pilot, or a ship mechanic.

Otherwise, it’s totally a situation where one of them is already seeing the reader, and then the reader hits it off with the other one too.
