IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AUGHHHH
SFOTH RELATIONSHIP HCS (established relationship)
Holy Light Befalling the One Who Smiles
Internet Findings: Ok so I'm like guessing you mean all the SFOTH deities, so I guess I'll just do em all (excluding Icedagger) so yeah WOOOO, SEVEN headcanons this time because I'm a woman of the people (joke) (ALSO SORRY IF I'VE WRITTEN SOME OF THESE BEFORE I THINK I HAVEN'T ๐) [END SEARCH]
๐ก - The trickster himself, to be quite frank, mortal and immortal agree that he would rather be able to toy with you rather than commit to something. You've seen how the other relationships of his go, one sided and always being played with like a doll. It's off putting if you wanted to be nice about it, the way nothing ever truly seemed to faze him. It's equally surprising that you've been now dating him for so long, the same joking energy never ceasing unless necessary.
๐ - You're gonna be involved with so many jokes of his that you could practically consider yourself his partner in crime. You've swayed him in phights to either help heal a team rather than the other, or see them fly up from a bit of a too high jump boost. All in good fun I assure you, but if there was ever a moment where the people involved with this might have some words about it... Let's say Darkheart might be a bit less playful over what they say to you.
โฅ - Ever since you've started to date him, you've always had to be prepared for impromptu fishing trips. Darkheart tells you that it's simply because he enjoys the company, his siblings would say how he'd probably be too insufferable to even accompany on. Either way, you join him as he catches fish and releases them, or when he just wishes to be given some extra time away. There's a point in his fishing where he stops the reeling in, and instead watches you fondly.
๐ - Darkheart has a habit of just picking you up for whatever. It seems to make him laugh (although what doesn't to some extent?) and it allows him to be close to you, so it should be a win win situation right? He has the habit to hold onto you exactly when you wish to do something or in the middle of it. Yes, he knows, and no, no you're not gonna be able to stop him unless you find some way out.
๐ท - It may just be wishful thinking, but the regular amused grin Darkheart wears seem ever so slightly more genuine to your eyes. It doesn't "soften" in the traditional sense, more so just seems as if he's less teasing and more actual with his smile. You'll never know if that's a right guess or not though, Darkheart is never going to tell you straight away, but there may be some truth to it.
๐ธ - Remember those doorways from the comic? Well you have free reign to use them any time you'd like with him, just as long as you pay the fee (kisses). With that said though, the more you use it, the more you're gonna get teased for where you're ending up. "If we had to guess, that cafรฉ you love to frequent?" A purr of his voice, Darkheart couldn't help but let his own laughter fly when you playfully rolled your eyes at him, "A person of habit, dear, we think it's cute."
๐ท - While reserved, there is a level of care put into your relationship that Darkheart never confirms he does. Typical of him really, but you suppose it's better than nothing. The runes that float around his arm pulse in satisfaction whenever you lean on him, a comfort and a distraction all in one. Honestly, that description fits your partner quite well.
๐ก - Is it any surprise that the one person out of all the Sword deities that can at least semi-talk to mortals has a partner? Quite frankly it's terrifying, the lingering folly of his child and his own inferno induced rage still looms over his now tarnished state. Most would now say you're insane for being with him, eyes blazing with terror over the fire that could be inflicted in your name, although you insure that it would never happen.
๐ฅ - In a pinch, sliding your arm through his own and hooking it together is usually how you both walk down. Side by side still, yet with the added benefit of having some part of yourself close enough to feel the warmth that radiates from Firebrand. You can even joke about how "chivalrous" it is, teasing him that even after all this time together as a couple he still finds ways to try and sweep you off your feet.
๐ซ - Firebrand rises early, wishing to see the assortment of colors that hit the sky at sunrise. It gives him renewed strength to tackle another day, although he says it as if he's not immortal and is going to work through the grueling domains, but hey whatever helps him you guess. Most of the time you hardly even notice him moving from the covers, but the times you do get rustled awake, you try and witness the view of it with him.
๐งก - "I don't know why you're up with me darling, it's hardly even time for you to rise yourself." A faint chuckle, but Firebrand pulled you as close ad he could all the same. The warmth of his palms seeped into your skin, causing you to blink slowly and grapple with a consciousness that threatened to slip away. He's just so... So cozy. When you inevitably drifted back to sleep,the last bits you heard from Firebrand was a compliment on how the sunlight could never be more beautiful than you, soft rays of orange scattering across the sky.
๐ - Deeper in the relationship, you start to work up the courage to run your fingers over the molten rock that makes up his horn, as well as let your hand rest on the rough texture that encases where his right eye would be. You take every touch as delicately as you can, trying to make sure you don't burn yourself or cause any sharp movements to knick yourself. It feels quite nice actually, like a big old heat lamp.
โค๏ธ - Firebrand likes to do more "old" displays of affection towards yourself. Opening up doors for you, kissing your knuckles after long days, there's just something so wholeheartedly tender about the way he stares at you, his lips pursed in a smile that melts your heart whenever you see it. Being charming should certainly be a crime when it comes to him, he's almost too good at it.
โจ๏ธ - Despite the flames that lick your hands whenever Firebrand is near, or the way the temperature spikes to such drastic levels it almost feels like mid-summer, there's something so gentle about how he regards you, his loving partner after a day of missing each other. Fire can be both destructive and comforting, it all depends on what it's used for, you just so happen to find comfort in the radiant flames.
๐ - How could the one that could take and bring the dead back to a self that once was so devoid of that same prying warmth? It's not like Ghostwalker really fretted with that sort of thing before he met you, only passing the souls on that lay waste around the bitter Inpherno. There's a new sense of revigoration though after you both have been together for... Gosh, how long was it? The way time blurred was as if he was the one in a hollow state instead of those he called the dead.
๐ป - Alright, to get it out of the way now instead of a bit on, Ghostwalker has his own version of "love" he shows to you. It's generally like how you'd expect from others, hand holding and the like being thrown in, but there's this air of disconnect. He's not sure his dead heart can really feel something that's close to the sickening feeling that is a racing heart with a lover, but there is at least something sort of there whenever you pass by.
๐ถ - "I'll return later, please be safe." The tone was almost unmistakable from the one Ghostwalker uses with all the others around him, yet, at the edge of his voice could you hear something akin to warmth from his frozen soul. Although imperceptible to some as well, his head turned to you with a nod, wave almost embarrassingly twinged with a flourish that felt kind.
๐ชฆ - Unfortunately though for you, watching him do the whole "kinda equivalent of the Grim Reaper" isn't in the cards. The very mention of it sounds just so... Nerve wracking, to say the least, so you take a pass on showing up while he's doing that. On the flipside though, he probably wouldn't let you see much of it anyway.
๐ - Since Ghostwalker is the creator of Ghostdeeri and her siblings, you've sometimes pour through the knowledge that's at your fingertips when your beloved is away. Tomes upon tomes span across shelves of slowly aging books, the pages still (just barely) crisp from infrequent upkeep. You've noticed that one of the books is titled Death, and the One Who Loves It, which certainly means nothing correct? You're sure not everything is written down by the Watchers.
โ - You absolutely adore showering him with affection no matter how long you've both been together. Kisses to his jaw that leaves his own glasses askew, the crosses over his eyes almost sparkling to life from shock. There's something so funny to you to envision that if he did have a mouth, it'd probably be open from each press of your lips, or maybe it'd return the favor in spades?
๐ - A tether to the shaky spectacle that is life, Ghostwalker is painfully soft on you. The way his hands rest in a manner almost mimicking delicate, hearing you talk about the way you live in contrast to his own, how the flush of your cheeks when hot days clouded over the Inpherno. All of it spoke of something that could be pinned down as soft. For as long as you lived by Ghostwalker's side, he solemnly vowed to hold the life that you have breathed into his very existence.
๐ฏ - There's few feelings (and words) to describe the might of the Illumina. If his own cryptic runes doesn't provide enough of a spectacle, then an unfortunate Inphernal will certainly be entertainment enough. Despite his more "stern" qualities, the veil he uses for himself can be lifted for just a passing moment. Not to discard it, oh on his name he'd never do that, but to allow the trickling love he has envelope you and pull you into his orbit. You're not an outlier he deems wasteful, you're the very reason his eyes seem to take on light that looks pure instead of scorned.
โ - If you've been around Illumina long enough to remember both of his wings, congrats! But if your relationship started after his one has been severed, then that's still fine as ever too. While he would've preferred to hold you close with both of his feathery wings, feeling that he can at least keep you nearby with one is just enough. He never truly says why, but it's the feeling of being able to protect you that makes his lips turn just slightly.
๐ - You're gonna have some sort of thing to denominate your relationship with him. You remember the Follower Sword and Follower Katana skins? Think of that for yourself, or at least the color scheme for it. Yours will look more fit of a deity by word of Illumina, although really you just think he wants to match with you and be cute. Don't say that to him, he's NEVER gonna live those thoughts down.
๐ - Illumina has taken quite the liking to dancing with you, often leading you in a slow sway through a waltz unfamiliar. It's calm, the motions fluid as water with each turn and dip Illumina pulls you through, his hands never ceasing to relent from their holding position even when it feels hours have passed.
๐ - Nothing is ever really said as Illumina spins you, his eyes steady fast on your frame to gauge any discomfort or dizziness. It's almost poetic how the one whose voice could render someone struck useless is now saying nothing, seemingly just taking in the moment bit by bit. His lone wing brushes against your back, guiding corrections when you get tripped up over your own feet, or just to give encouragement that is as soft as his wing is.
๐ผ - A guilty pleasure of Illumina's is to be in the same room with you, it doesn't matter what you do or say to him, just as long as he can be by your side. His breathing evens out, and he can wave away whatever his day has entailed, his shoulders leaning back to give his demeanor change. He may even ask you what you're working on if there's something you're focused with, your voice is the most beautiful melody he has ever been blessed with hearing after time spent apart.
๐ - For someone so powerful, the way you reduce those same abilities to nothing but a thought is quite impressive. The voice of someone used to winning wars of the tongue, eyes never ceasing to stare and break those who oppose his own notions, Illumina never did think that he'd find a person like yourself that could make his voice less sharp than his sword. It's a mystery he couldn't quite let himself care to ponder, oh how has he changed.
๐ฑ - The one who goes against all that has been laid out, taking in a mere mortal child as if his own jaw couldn't snap at those lower than himself. Venonshank certainly is seen as a weirder one among them all, especially since he's just so close to one of those lowly mortals. Yes, that's you that he calls his loving partner, although the "lowly" part is entirely by his siblings teasing of how he let the normal venom he gives off to be nullified by his antidote, the one person to let his smile shown true.
๐ง - There's apprehension, even when you two have been together for so long, but you've been able to catch glimpses of Venomshank's actual face in quiet moments. The sharp teeth of someone who's bite is meant to tear, posture tense as the vaguest of fumes escape the poisonous jaw of your beloved. He doesn't want you to see him like this, but worries are quelled when you get by his side.
๐ - A shaky inhale, hands wrapped tight around you at the faint point of teeth dig into your neck. It wasn't... Uncomfortable per say, just present, present in the way you never felt scared in his grasp. Present in the way where Venonshank's eyes have been open this whole time, gauging every little movement as if you'd flinch from a mere shifting of position. You wouldn't do that though, a hum came from your throat st the softness of the moment, a graze of a kiss from Venomshank's lips as a response.
๐ชถ - Sisyphus doesn't do this to anyone, so him resting on your shoulder is quite the impressive feat. His claws don't dig into your clothes too badly, just enough to be fastened securely without having too move an inch afterwards. You've sometimes forgotten that he's even there, soft feathers blending into the background as you work on other things. Venomshank always melts over just how... Tenderly domestic it comes across to himself.
๐ - Obligatory mention of Sword, you know I had to do it but depending on how close you and Venom are, he could see you as an extra parent to him. If we're going with you and Venom have been together for a while... Let's say Sword might slip up on words and say "parents" instead of "parent", but he does apologize if you're not comfortable with that sorta thing.
โ ๏ธ - As deeply intoxicating (and down right dangerous) as a bite from Venomshank can be, turning the brightest of Inphernals into reanimated corpses that serve him, you've never been put off from it. You actually tease the guy from how awkward he can be with his mask, saying that he really does strike fear in the hearts of others looking like a little bird. He's had a multitude of expressions from that statement alone, but it shifts into a drawn out sigh, couple with a roll of his eyes you can't see.
๐ฆท - The love Venomshank feels for you can't be described. It's neither small or large, rather all encompassing in day to day life with you as his partner. While he wields hands that can rip apart those he chooses to cut short, eyes blazing with fury of that who wishes to enrage him, there is the memory of the one who can shake him out of his deepest trances: that being you of course. Just like how his rapier can pierce the hearts of many an enemy, you have full well done the same for him.
๐ช - The untamed spirit of the wind herself gets a partner that can calm the roaring? Almost anyway, she has become just slightly less intense in your presence than most, but her own temper can still rush into a hurricane if she so chooses... Just this time for your protection instead of demise.
๐ฉ - Windforce is about as bold as you think she'd be around you, except there's the edge of her more reckless nature pushed back in place for something... Dangerously softer. She's weary of you not being immortal like her, so instead of you greeting her in the eye of the storm, she kisses you at the outside of it, arms outstretched in a loving hug to cherish.
๐ - Now, she still teases you of course, calling you her "little partner" and saying how she can't believe a pipsqueak like you made her grow fonder. She means it lovingly, you can just practically hear the adoration she tries to hold back with her guarded form, but it always manages to sneak into her voice as she roars her booming laugh. Windforce has her fun, you have yours, which includes trying to lift up her helmet to tease her back, peppering kisses in retaliation.
๐ - You remember her special guards right? You usually don't mess with them often, but rest assure that they know of you plenty. "Remember! Just 'cause I might have my eyes sweet on someone, doesn't give you all the right to get one over on me. I expect better from those who pledge themself to the sky itself!" Windforce ends it with a cackle, even though it felt like hours were wasted from hearing her talk about how wonderful you are. Swords above, help them.
๐ฆ - She's actually got the variety of names she calls you while being together, most notably she defaults to just saying darling a ton, but sweetheart, love, lovely, and - albeit more sparingly used - her sunlight / sun. If she's the sky itself, that must make you the sunlight that cuts through the blue to shine down on all it sees. "My sunlight, it's been too long." She beams at you, even if it's only been a few moments of parting between you both.
๐ฆ
- Flying around with her wings is a favorite pass time of the both of you, your hands wrapped loosely around her as she clutches you in contrast. You know she'll never let you fall, she's actually never even made a jab about trying it once the first few days of being with her wore off, instead just holding tenderly with each wing beat. Over the howling wind (ha) when you both have gotten high enough in the sky, Windforce tells you that you're much more radiant then that of the sunset sky.
๐ - While those who have been cast aside by her armored hands would disagree, spout insults to the one who's let their own falling be nothing more of an annoying matter to be dealt with, you never let it get to you. Windforce is devoted to those she loves, even more so to the one who's managed to capture her heart in love instead of combat. It's funny, but every since Windforce started to date you all those months ago, she's had a bit of a change of heart when it comes to mortals. How fickle of her.
