#zero lancer

He’s my long-term fav, too from the first time I watched Zero! I have this statue, this figure, and this keychain of him. The curse of beauty is one of my favorite tropes and I love putting a twist on it so that’s how you 

Do you know how long it took me to find the little figure? I spent 45 minutes searching for it so I could link it because I want to show what I have but don’t want to take a picture of my desk. It was a gift and I never knew where they got it. Price point is pretty high on the secondary market for a figure that’s literally under 2″.

Operation: Fianna

Diarmuid Relationships:

Getting Into It:

The decision to ask you to be his partner didn’t come about overnight. His admiration started the day you used two Command Spells to try to quell the curse. 

You assume it didn’t work because when you look at him you still feel attached to him. You can feel your heart fluttering thinking about the way he fights and how loyal and dedicated he is, and how his spearmanship is graceful and at the end of the day you’re grateful he’s your servant.

No, not your servant–your friend.

The Command Spells did work. 

Respect blossoms into love on both sides. He notices it before you do. 

You would never give a command he would feel wrong following. 

He will lay his life on the line not because he has to, but because your presence makes his life immeasurably better. 

A journey to the end of time is a lot less scary with your most trusted knight and companion at your side.

If you had ever introduced him to your parents or the people in your life, he would seek them out and share his intentions with them. Being respectful of you involves being respectful of the people you care about.

When he asks you to be his lover, it’s more like he’s swearing fealty to you. He takes a knee and bows his head and all you can do is smile and ask him to rise. 

“You call me your equal, Master…? Thank you. On my honor as a knight and your faithful servant, I will never leave your side. I will never let you down.”

In It:

You initially expect him to be the best partner on the face of the planet, and you are right. But you’re right for the wrong reasons. 

Contrary to what you’d believe about his curse, he’s self-conscious about the consequences that it had in his life and time on the Throne of Heroes. It’s caused him to be skeptical of others’ feelings and untrusting of those who claim to care for him.

For this reason he tends to overcompensate for his curse in your relationship. He works far too hard at a love that comes naturally for both of you.

“I will prove I deserve your companionship, Master. You say I do not need to, but I believe it is my duty to show you the truth in my words. I refuse to accept a false love. Ah! I did not mean to question your intentions, Master. I mean that–”

No point in having feet when he’s just going to sweep you off of them every day. He’s the ideal domestic partner. 

Cooks (with the help of EMIYA and Sakura’s many incarnations). 

Cleans (if you count making the bed and putting flower petals on it, though that might just be making the mess worse).

Assists you with your responsibilities (like he’s trying to be your personal assistant).

Affection:

Takes care of you when you’re sick.

Makes you feel loved and desired every day with more than his words. It’s in touches and acts of kindness and little tokens of his appreciation for you.

Shared showers are a favorite. Leaning into steaming water and holding your head on his chest, feeling each other’s breaths fall off your shoulders… 

In public he’ll try not to embarrass you or make things uncomfortable for others, but if he needs to assert his love for you he doesn’t care where he does it.

Excellent lover, but not because of his quantity of experience. As he’s limited himself due to the curse, the experiences he has shared have only been with those he has fallen in love with in return. 

While he knows his own desires quite well he will take the time to learn about you and how you like to be loved.

Sensual. He’s a switch. 

Flexible. Literally and figuratively.

Blissfully unaware of how attractive and wonderful he is in your eyes because the curse doesn’t work on you.
