I am always down to send asks even if you don’t promise to behave

So

Uhmmm

Ideas

Oh! Harvie throwing a shoe at Marius for being too Rick Boy maybe?

Uhhhhh

Playing oc dolls with Mavis and Harvie? Idk

Jsndndjdjd

See most days Harvie will claim to care more about their shoes than Marius’ face (also they think throwing shoes is impractical. They gotta go get that now :/ and they’re constantly wearing heels so it’s either lopsided or they gotta a throw two which is an option too tbh) but if they were already having a bad day complete with broken heel and Marius pulled a “don’t worry about it being super late I can just buy the store they’ll open for you now” they would absolutely beam that man with a shoe and make a fair attempt at walking home barefoot. They make it like half a block before Marius catches up

(Harvie also throws an ice pack at him after he takes them home and invites himself in. He teases them about being worried for his good looks and they have a very clear moment where they are fully debating if they can get away with his murder. They instead slump next to him on the couch and grumble that he’s not even icing his stupid face right before taking over holding the ice pack in place for him.)

Ooo Mavis and Harvie would be fun because they’re both playing at pleasantry but one means it because thats all they think they are and the other uses it as a thin mask to keep from throwing hands constantly.

Marius would whine endlessly about Harvie being so mean to him but he is also picking them up and princess carrying to their apartment (or at least trying to)

But also Harvie and Mavis having the opposite jobs you’d think they would

Always smiling kind Mavis being Security

While barely holding back from violence Harvie is a lawyer

But when Marius runs up and scoops them up in one fluid move that is unfairly attractive, Harvie only snaps at him for being and idiot and makes no attempt to free themself (and they both know they could. So few things could actually hold them if they didn’t want to be held.). In fact they settle back against his chest and totally don’t play with his necklace as he carries them home.

Dnndndnd

The team looking at these two wondering if they accidentally traded dream jobs. (Luke would laugh if anyone said it out loud. He had watched Harvie pour over law books physical and audio before getting mad and tossing them at walls when the words didn’t work. They always came back though. When everything else was broken and abandoned for frustrating them, Harvie always came back for their law books and dusted them off before trying again.)

Luke: I don’t know what to do with myself now that I’m not pulling someone out of trouble at all the time.

Mavis, clearly Different in a similar way to Harvie even if the specifics of what makes them Different aren’t the same: Hey.

Luke: !!! Another one ????

!!! Oh oh oh but both Mavis and Harvie being confused why they’re there when there’s a “better” demigod. Mavis seeing themself as fragile and Harvie seeing themself as Too Much. Too difficult. Both of them thinking the other is a better fit for the team.

Mavis and Harvie get each other in such an intrinsic way that no one can really understand and is so so so normal about.

He has also witnessed Mavis pass off basically anything that requires reading to anyone else and forget what they said five seconds before all while not trying to fix it because they simply don’t want to

He has also seen Mavis purposely fuck up too many files to ever think they care about evidence

Truly the idea of Mavis as a lawyer and Harvie as security is Too Wrong and he doesn’t get how everyone keeps assuming things (well, he does. But he just takes it as confirmation that he knows the two best out of anyone ((except maybe each other??? It’s slightly unclear what’s going on there)) and moves on with a smug little smirk)

But also

Luke: *sad and missing Harvie*

Mavis: *literally breaking into his room* Hi! You’re new here right? I’m Mavis!

Luke: … I’m Luke…

Mavis: Oh, ew. You deserve a better name. I’m gonna call you Lulu

Luke: *internally* Wow. Okay. What are the odds this happens twice?

But also! Luke seeing Mavis’s camp necklace and being like “huh” because those reads are mighty similar, aren’t they

Anyways, Harvie considering themself a blunt instrument while it is actually Mavis’s job to be the blunt instrument who gets in fights

Mavis considering themself too fragile and soft while Harvie’s job is to be understanding and to care for the people they’re defending

But also Harvie is sharp clean work clothes basically all the time while Mavis is in their flowy outfits and clinking jewelry the second they can get out of their work clothes

Also

Harvie: L you have a type

Mavis: ??? But you’re the lawyer???

Harvie: No L like the letter

Mavis: ! Oh ! Yeah that fits Lulu doesn’t know how to sit in chairs either.

The demigods immediately clocking each other while everyone else clocks that they are clocking each other and is trying to figure out how Harvie just happened to know both new members (Luke included he is not used to not knowing things about either of them and then both knowing each other is not something he was prepared for). Then Harvie just nods. It’s always good to have a second demigod around. If a third shows up someone has to bolt though. Threes are never good for demigods.

But also Harvie mentally logging Mavis as Safe immediately and letting them hang off of them constantly. Harvie who keeps a professional distance from everyone (except Luke but even then when they are on a case he is slotted into Coworker Mode not Friend Mode) unless they are committing violence holding Mavis’ entire weight as they share a pair of earbuds listening, or not listening in Mavis’ case, to whatever new case there is.

Marius: I want cafe dates too!

Harvie: So take yourself, brat.

Marius: Vievie is so mean!

Mavis: You like them mean though :)

Harvie: Hold up wait don’t encourage this!

Also love the implication that Harvie is aware of Luke’s crush on both them and Mavis and saying he has a type. Or them meaning “type” as in type of friend but not clarifying that so Luke probably thinks Harvie Knows

Luke: *being confronted with Not Knowing something about the two people he is closest to ever that they seem to know about each other* hmm. Don’t like that

But also!! Harvie is probably at least somewhat used to Mavis dealing themself over people because one of the only ways they knew how to help was being the Camp Weighted Blanket. So they do drape a lot. And if you lay down down they’re liable to lay on top of you kinda like a cat

(Omg the boys finding Harvie and Mavis asleep curled up on the NXX couch napping. The cuteness aggression would take them out)

And ohhhh. Even if the boys don’t catch the two on a cafe date, everyone knows when it happens bc Mavis brings everyone drinks and snacks (they have everyone’s favorites memorized but they won’t remember any case file name)

And yeah. Marius would say he wants to be between them. He would also say he wants Harvie between him and Mavis. And Mavis between him and Harvie. As long as it’s no to either of their faces

He has to deal with just getting Mavis’s affection until he earns Harvie’s

Luke probably gets dragged into cuddles and affection however because Harvie allows it as long as it’s Friend Mode

Omg wait. Artem getting attacked with hugs and affection. I fear he wouldn’t know how to handle it. He’s getting bullied

(Harvie has not figured out his crush on him. Nor their crush on him. They have however clocked the potential of him and Mavis. And later Mavis with everyone. Which makes sense. Mavis is easy to like. They’re not all rough edges. Mavis is a glittering jewel in a priceless neckless and Harvie is a run in a cheap pair of tights. Why would anyone be interested in them when it is wretched work almost all the time?)

Shndnd Harvie really only intended to lay down for a second and instead got trapped by a little bird deciding they were more comfy that the whole other couch and laying on top of them. And like they could move them sure but Mavis is a familiar weight and they have been trying to brute force their way through a new case file that hasn’t been through the formatting changes/doesn’t have an audio version yet and their head and eyes ache and

They’re out like a light.

Mavis is only awake long enough to make sure they’re out (and maybe take their hair down so their head doesn’t continue to hurt like they are trying to pretend it doesn’t) before following.

Vyn nearly trips over the table when he sees them. He finds a blanket to put over the two of them and decides to read on the other couch. For no reason really.

imagining Mavis bouncing in to hand out drinks and snacks to everyone while chattering about their date with Harvie while all of their imaginations run wild. Harvie is carrying the second drink carrier with their and Mavis’ to go orders waiting for them to finish before going back to work.

Marius would not make it if put between them. Man would be so flustered. He cannot taaake it. If Mavis was pressed up behind him trusting their whole weight to him as they crooned about Harvie being cute while they press close and toy with Marius’ necklace the way they do when they want affection but refuse to ask for it he would die and go to heaven I think.

I don’t think any of them would truly be able to last through getting double teamed by the demigods. Luke has the most resistance due to proximity but even he still gets flushed and wide eyed when dragged into cuddles.

Artem would pass out I fear. He can’t take it. With Mavis in his arms in an enthusiastic hug and Harvie with their face buried between his shoulder blades much more shyly he might die.

Mavis: Ohh. I totally see it

The NXX boys: What are they talking about?

(They will not admit to being jealous of something they don’t get. Because Harvie and Mavis wouldn’t call Luke a chick magnet. But. But they aren’t aware of what exactly the two are talking about either so)

Harvie is clocking Mavis’s potential with everyone meanwhile Mavis is clocking Harvie’s potential with everyone and totally gets it

Because Mavis sees Harvie and sees their strength and drive and intelligence. They’re so smart and so compassionate and so driven to bring people to justice. And Mavis is just… Mavis. Pretty, sure, but fragile. Like glass. And Harvie is already plenty pretty too so what’s there going for them?

(Ohhh I love when characters see the worst in themself but it’s actually what the others see as the best of them and vice versa)

And Mavis has an Instinct about when someone is sitting or lying and resting on the couch and they will casually skip over and use themself like a blanket

Which. Totally doesn’t break whatever boy gets a lap full of birdie. Nope. Not at all. They’re totally fine

(Harvie gets a good laugh out of that. Several good laughs even. But they get it. Mavis is soft and warm and pretty and basically the perfect cuddle buddy. It hard to resist

They are a little disappointed that they didn’t get to see Luke’s reaction to the first time it’s happen. Because they can tell he’s had a few years to build up a tolerance and even then)

Thinking about it, Mavis and Harvie def get mistaken as a couple whenever they’re out and about like. All the time

Which the boys are So Normal about

(Sometimes it’s speculating who a godly parent would be. Sometimes it’s a reference to a camp meme. Sometimes it really means nothing and they are legitimately just messing with the guys because it’s funny)

Onsndjshs ooooo I could definitely see them both trying to step aside for the other and causing so much grief for everyone. Because of course the other is who everyone would want. They want their fellow demigod. It’s not hard.

(Somewhere Aphrodite is screaming in frustration.)

Harvie doesn’t even blink. They usually just lift their arms to let Mavis snuggle in and drop them again once they’re settled. They don’t even look away from whatever file they’re reading in their tablet.

But the boys. None of them are ever quite prepared for it. Which is hilarious to Harvie. How many examples do they need before they expect it?

(While Harvie isn’t to the point of Becoming Blanket, once they get more comfortable they start kicking their heels off and swinging their legs into the lap of whoever’s next to them. Presumably because of all the shit they pull while wearing heels making their feet hurt. In practice they like the proximity and the massage that follows once whoever’s brain turns back on is also nice they guess.

Mavis also gets a good laugh at that.)

Oh Mavis and Harvie are constantly mistaken as a couple which I feel that neither really care to dispute (because funny or just too much effort for people whose opinions don’t matter) and the guys are so. Normal about it. Arguably even more Normal than when none of them gets mistaken as one of their partners.

(Like the demigods can See It for each other the guys can also See It for them. They’re so familiar with each other. Know each other so much more deeply. It makes sense. And while they would fight each other.. how can you fight one of the people you care about so deeply? Both of them? If they’re lucky they will choose to open their relationship to more than just the two of them but if not.. at least they would both be happy)

nhdjsjsbsbbsbsbs my brain said

Harvie: That’s a cute shade of lipstick. I’m never sure if I’ll like it on myself when I see it in the store so I haven’t bought it yet.

Mavis: I can help with that

This is the most fun she’s had in ages. This is her version of trashy reality TV

She sends people to flirt with the group to sew chaos because she finds it funny. None of them will ever know peace

(Which everyone is So Normal about. Harvie gets to play guard dog partner for Mavis a lot because they struggle with hurting people’s feelings. Well, everyone does. But Harvie and Luke do it the most in a guard dog way. Artem tries to respectfully intervene. While Vyn and Marius Commit to the boyfriend bit

Harvie however has no complications when it comes to shutting people down so long as they clock it)

But also dhisbsulehsijs

Marius wants to see Harvie and Mavis make out So Bad. Well, all the boys do

But Marius is pathetic about it in a way that’s hard to replicate

(It’s about 50/50 if Harvie notices people flirting with them particularly when out with the others. Mostly because they can’t understand why anyone would flirt with them when any of the others are present. Like yes they are aware they’re decently attractive and put a lot of work into maintaining that both because they like to and because they use it as another weapon in their arsenal. But everyone else is next level attractive. And effortlessly so.

They have come a long way from telling people flirting with them to “eat shit and die” like they used to in high school and part of college. All bets are off when one go the others is getting flirted with though. Mavis most of all because Harvie knows they won’t shut it down themself out of fears of hurting feelings and hurting feelings (among other things) has always been what Harvie is best at.

All of the guys are about as normal as both of them being flirted with as they are of Harvie getting possessive and latching onto one of their arms like a needy partner in a way they would normally never allow themself before telling whoever is flirting with them to get lost. Or coming up behind Mavis to glare over their shoulder even as they pull them back to lean against them in a silent reminder that they are there.

Harvie would claim they are scaring off gold diggers or other unsavory prospects. They are. The last person to know they are So Jealous they can’t see straight.)

Andnsjdjs Marius is on his knees. He is begging. He is pleading. There are tears in his eyes and everything. This is his dying wish because that perfect sight will kill him but what a sweet way to go.

The others are too professional and too grown to make as big of fools of themself as Marius is but oh how they want to see it too. Vyn got to see them both wake up from a nap on the couch all hazy eyed and sleepy and their lips so close, sharing the same breath but not touching and he thought he was having heart palpitations. Luke saw them after some Activity (rock climbing race? Paint balling? Who knows but something to get the demigod’s blood up and the competitive spirit singing) both practically radient with satisfaction and hanging off of each other and is pretty sure this will kill him faster than anything else can. Artem took one of them out for a lap around the racetrack and got to see the other practically pin the other to the car as they demanded to know if it was as fun as it looked and that they wanted a turn and had to take deep breaths to steady his hands.

They ah e mastered the art of being clingy and smily and sparkly in the exact right way to make people feel bad about flirting with whoever in front of them. It’s actually a talent

But also Mavis and Harvie truly are just On Each Other Constantly. If you catch them at the right moment at the wrong angle, it looks like they’re kissing full stop. This has caused several heart attacks and other assorted heart problems

Harvie is equally Normal about seeing Mavis start kissing the others on the cheek and getting to that level of affection. Just like Mavis is so Normal about Harvie starting to allow affection with the boys

(Ohhhh but once they all get their shit together Mavis and Harvie with smudged lipstick all over their faces. Mavis and Harvie smudging lipstick over the others faces and maybe elsewhere I— bdksvdodk)

Whoever is flirting leaves quickly after that.

Neither of them really thinks the closeness is weird. Demigod boundaries are just Different™️so it takes even longer for Harvie to notice they’ve started staring at Mavis’ lips for other reason than checking out their makeup.

You know who would be the one to notice their crushes on everyone including each other? Vyn. Man knows too much about psychology to not notice. He thinks their jealousy is so cute when it’s directed towards outsiders anyway. He will absolutely be working with them both to remind them that they are allowed to want. To have. Exposure therapy in the best of ways really.

(Jdjdjsnsbs the boys coming in to find Mavis and Harvie with their lipstick smudged and hair a mess and immediately deciding any work they came to do can wait actually. Mavis and Harvie working together to “paint” Marius in their preferred colors of lipstick. Tucking smudges of colors under Artem and Vyn’s collars before sending them to work all buttoned up and proper for the rest of the world. Giving Luke all of his fantasies come true at once and leaving lipstick all over his face his neck his chest. Lower.

All of them become obsessed with ruining both of their makeup. Not that either of them are any better. Particularly not if they can convince one of the guys to put on makeup so there can be another pretty mess.)

Mavis spends half their time tucked up in someone’s lap (usually Harvie bc they have the least jarring reaction and Mavis doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable) and Harvie won’t bat an eye. That is simply Mavis being Mavis

Meanwhile Harvie will grab Mavis by the face to inspect their makeup and Mavis will just let it happen

(Mavis is actually So Aware of all of their crushes but also refuses to acknowledge them for a second. Yes they want to kiss Harvie and Vyn and Luke and Artem. So what? That doesn’t mean they’re going to act any different)

Shienehsobejel

Vyn’s version of exposure therapy is hardcore flirting. Which he will be dragging everyone else into as well. Because the two resident demigods want them all and Vyn will make that happen

But also

The NXX boys seeing Harvie and Mavis with messy makeup: We can make that worse

Ohhh the boys get absolutely KOd the first time they get the lipstick treatment. But to be fair, if Harvie and Mavis also got the lipstick treatment they’d be KOd too. They’re just usually giving it

(Vyn and Artem have to put perhaps too much effort into getting their shit back together for work

Meanwhile Marius and Luke swear they got sent to the pearly gates and float around for a bit because. Wow.

Harvie feels the type to go so so red if they were put under kiss fire like that

Meanwhile Mavis literally just floats in a daze for A While. Maybe even the whole day if they’re hit just right)

Mavis gets somehow even softer when drunk, or perhaps they just get quieter about it? They are all loose limbs and doe eyes and you really can’t help but want to squish them. Which if Harvie is drunk too will be happening

And once their cheeks have been squished their lips look so pouty and—

Ahhssbd ooooh Harvie holding their jaw and tipping their face this way any that to study their makeup (trying to figure out how they would do it themself they swear) and unconsciously leaning closer as they do until their noses are brushing and they can feel each other’s breaths on their lips. It’s too close to see each other clearly. All Harvie needs to do is tip their head or use their grip on Mavis to tip theirs and they would be kissing. Then Harvie snaps back to reality and pulls back telling them they look pretty today.

(Marius who witness the whole thing would be crying blood over yet another chance at his dreams fouled but alas. His blood is occupied further south.)

Vyn is always a flirt and damn good at it. He does not hide his interest even as he is polite about it. A gentleman. Forward but not overstepping. But when he gets it in his head to make sure both Mavis and Harvie know they’re wanted? Man is a menace. Flirting with Harvie while Mavis is perched on his lap. Coming up behind Mavis to breathe the smoothest of words in their ear while they are a bit too focused on Harvie curled into Artem’s side as he reads the film review he posted the night before to them. And once he gets the others to join in? Two flustered demigods so often. Truly it is the more adorable sight to all of them.

(Ooooh you know Artem and Vyn would be teased with no kisses in visible places before work all the time. They have to look so composed and professional. They can’t do that with lipstick smeared around their mouths. The fact that Harvie’s lipstick is smudged needs to be reapplied before they go to work with Artem is not important. They both are particularly intent when the workday is over.

Marius also gets teased with No Kisses but he is too much of a brat to listen. He had absolutely walked into a beard meeting with lipstick smudges poking out from his collar with negative shame.

Luke would get teased with it more but he is too quick. Knows them too well. Man is always stealing kisses on his own and grinning when his lips get stained.

Harvie is so completely red. Also hiding in whoever’s nearest. They will not be coming out for so long if they raise their head they will explode they’re so flustered. It would take no effort to keep them like that forever all blushy and an absolute mess. It’s Vyn and Marius’ favorite thing to do tbh.

Mavis being all floaty and sweet and dazed would make them impossible not to kiss again which would really just start the whole process over again.)

The absolute combo move of Mavis doe eyed and sweet and Harvie pouty and needy would take the guys out at the knees even before they turned that on each other. All of them are vowing to stick more wine and making sure to never let their drinks get mixed up in public because no one else should get to see this.

(Harvie would never recover if they got Artem’ed and accidentally drank wine in public. If they had to remember clinging to one of the NXX crew and whining actually whining for a hug or (if they were together already or even if they weren’t tbh) a kiss they would walk into the ocean never to be seen again. Everyone also knows that.

Meanwhile Harvie is not aware but pushing them by almost kissing them like, twice a day

(Marius would say he is also being pushed like this interactions have anything to do with them

Luke has to bonk him over the head for being Too Horny about the almost kisses more than once

Which, Luke is also probably Horny about but he at least has the decency to hold back until later. Marius is desperate beyond measure

He probably moans aloud the first time he gets to see the two of them actually kiss)

Vyn is no doubt the smoothest of the boys, but the others put in the leg work too

Marius is giving gifts. Constantly. But the kicker is half the time it’s stuff he designed

Artem gets them at the most random times because while he can’t flirt on purpose, sometimes the stuff he says…

And Luke, oh Luke, he’s had years to think of what he would say and do and now he finally can act on that. He is. So normal

But also Harvie getting Artem’d and Mavis latching onto them like a bit so they hopefully don’t feel the need to ask for affection and feel embarrassed later

I am always down to send asks even if you don’t promise to behave

So

Uhmmm

Marius would not make it if put between them. Man would be so flustered. He cannot taaake it. If Mavis was pressed up behind him trusting their whole weight to him as they crooned about Harvie being cute while they press close and toy with Marius’ necklace the way they do when they want affection but refuse to ask for it he would die and go to heaven I think.

I don’t think any of them would truly be able to last through getting double teamed by the demigods. Luke has the most resistance due to proximity but even he still gets flushed and wide eyed when dragged into cuddles.

Artem would pass out I fear. He can’t take it. With Mavis in his arms in an enthusiastic hug and Harvie with their face buried between his shoulder blades much more shyly he might die.

Mavis: Ohh. I totally see it

The NXX boys: What are they talking about?

(They will not admit to being jealous of something they don’t get. Because Harvie and Mavis wouldn’t call Luke a chick magnet. But. But they aren’t aware of what exactly the two are talking about either so)

Harvie is clocking Mavis’s potential with everyone meanwhile Mavis is clocking Harvie’s potential with everyone and totally gets it

Because Mavis sees Harvie and sees their strength and drive and intelligence. They’re so smart and so compassionate and so driven to bring people to justice. And Mavis is just… Mavis. Pretty, sure, but fragile. Like glass. And Harvie is already plenty pretty too so what’s there going for them?

(Ohhh I love when characters see the worst in themself but it’s actually what the others see as the best of them and vice versa)

And Mavis has an Instinct about when someone is sitting or lying and resting on the couch and they will casually skip over and use themself like a blanket

Which. Totally doesn’t break whatever boy gets a lap full of birdie. Nope. Not at all. They’re totally fine

(Harvie gets a good laugh out of that. Several good laughs even. But they get it. Mavis is soft and warm and pretty and basically the perfect cuddle buddy. It hard to resist

They are a little disappointed that they didn’t get to see Luke’s reaction to the first time it’s happen. Because they can tell he’s had a few years to build up a tolerance and even then)

Thinking about it, Mavis and Harvie def get mistaken as a couple whenever they’re out and about like. All the time

Which the boys are So Normal about

(Sometimes it’s speculating who a godly parent would be. Sometimes it’s a reference to a camp meme. Sometimes it really means nothing and they are legitimately just messing with the guys because it’s funny)

Onsndjshs ooooo I could definitely see them both trying to step aside for the other and causing so much grief for everyone. Because of course the other is who everyone would want. They want their fellow demigod. It’s not hard.

(Somewhere Aphrodite is screaming in frustration.)

Harvie doesn’t even blink. They usually just lift their arms to let Mavis snuggle in and drop them again once they’re settled. They don’t even look away from whatever file they’re reading in their tablet.

But the boys. None of them are ever quite prepared for it. Which is hilarious to Harvie. How many examples do they need before they expect it?

(While Harvie isn’t to the point of Becoming Blanket, once they get more comfortable they start kicking their heels off and swinging their legs into the lap of whoever’s next to them. Presumably because of all the shit they pull while wearing heels making their feet hurt. In practice they like the proximity and the massage that follows once whoever’s brain turns back on is also nice they guess.

Mavis also gets a good laugh at that.)

Oh Mavis and Harvie are constantly mistaken as a couple which I feel that neither really care to dispute (because funny or just too much effort for people whose opinions don’t matter) and the guys are so. Normal about it. Arguably even more Normal than when none of them gets mistaken as one of their partners.

(Like the demigods can See It for each other the guys can also See It for them. They’re so familiar with each other. Know each other so much more deeply. It makes sense. And while they would fight each other.. how can you fight one of the people you care about so deeply? Both of them? If they’re lucky they will choose to open their relationship to more than just the two of them but if not.. at least they would both be happy)

nhdjsjsbsbbsbsbs my brain said

Harvie: That’s a cute shade of lipstick. I’m never sure if I’ll like it on myself when I see it in the store so I haven’t bought it yet.

Mavis: I can help with that

This is the most fun she’s had in ages. This is her version of trashy reality TV

She sends people to flirt with the group to sew chaos because she finds it funny. None of them will ever know peace

(Which everyone is So Normal about. Harvie gets to play guard dog partner for Mavis a lot because they struggle with hurting people’s feelings. Well, everyone does. But Harvie and Luke do it the most in a guard dog way. Artem tries to respectfully intervene. While Vyn and Marius Commit to the boyfriend bit

Harvie however has no complications when it comes to shutting people down so long as they clock it)

But also dhisbsulehsijs

Marius wants to see Harvie and Mavis make out So Bad. Well, all the boys do

But Marius is pathetic about it in a way that’s hard to replicate

(It’s about 50/50 if Harvie notices people flirting with them particularly when out with the others. Mostly because they can’t understand why anyone would flirt with them when any of the others are present. Like yes they are aware they’re decently attractive and put a lot of work into maintaining that both because they like to and because they use it as another weapon in their arsenal. But everyone else is next level attractive. And effortlessly so.

They have come a long way from telling people flirting with them to “eat shit and die” like they used to in high school and part of college. All bets are off when one go the others is getting flirted with though. Mavis most of all because Harvie knows they won’t shut it down themself out of fears of hurting feelings and hurting feelings (among other things) has always been what Harvie is best at.

All of the guys are about as normal as both of them being flirted with as they are of Harvie getting possessive and latching onto one of their arms like a needy partner in a way they would normally never allow themself before telling whoever is flirting with them to get lost. Or coming up behind Mavis to glare over their shoulder even as they pull them back to lean against them in a silent reminder that they are there.

Harvie would claim they are scaring off gold diggers or other unsavory prospects. They are. The last person to know they are So Jealous they can’t see straight.)

Andnsjdjs Marius is on his knees. He is begging. He is pleading. There are tears in his eyes and everything. This is his dying wish because that perfect sight will kill him but what a sweet way to go.

The others are too professional and too grown to make as big of fools of themself as Marius is but oh how they want to see it too. Vyn got to see them both wake up from a nap on the couch all hazy eyed and sleepy and their lips so close, sharing the same breath but not touching and he thought he was having heart palpitations. Luke saw them after some Activity (rock climbing race? Paint balling? Who knows but something to get the demigod’s blood up and the competitive spirit singing) both practically radient with satisfaction and hanging off of each other and is pretty sure this will kill him faster than anything else can. Artem took one of them out for a lap around the racetrack and got to see the other practically pin the other to the car as they demanded to know if it was as fun as it looked and that they wanted a turn and had to take deep breaths to steady his hands.

They ah e mastered the art of being clingy and smily and sparkly in the exact right way to make people feel bad about flirting with whoever in front of them. It’s actually a talent

But also Mavis and Harvie truly are just On Each Other Constantly. If you catch them at the right moment at the wrong angle, it looks like they’re kissing full stop. This has caused several heart attacks and other assorted heart problems

Harvie is equally Normal about seeing Mavis start kissing the others on the cheek and getting to that level of affection. Just like Mavis is so Normal about Harvie starting to allow affection with the boys

(Ohhhh but once they all get their shit together Mavis and Harvie with smudged lipstick all over their faces. Mavis and Harvie smudging lipstick over the others faces and maybe elsewhere I— bdksvdodk)

Whoever is flirting leaves quickly after that.

Neither of them really thinks the closeness is weird. Demigod boundaries are just Different™️so it takes even longer for Harvie to notice they’ve started staring at Mavis’ lips for other reason than checking out their makeup.

You know who would be the one to notice their crushes on everyone including each other? Vyn. Man knows too much about psychology to not notice. He thinks their jealousy is so cute when it’s directed towards outsiders anyway. He will absolutely be working with them both to remind them that they are allowed to want. To have. Exposure therapy in the best of ways really.

(Jdjdjsnsbs the boys coming in to find Mavis and Harvie with their lipstick smudged and hair a mess and immediately deciding any work they came to do can wait actually. Mavis and Harvie working together to “paint” Marius in their preferred colors of lipstick. Tucking smudges of colors under Artem and Vyn’s collars before sending them to work all buttoned up and proper for the rest of the world. Giving Luke all of his fantasies come true at once and leaving lipstick all over his face his neck his chest. Lower.

All of them become obsessed with ruining both of their makeup. Not that either of them are any better. Particularly not if they can convince one of the guys to put on makeup so there can be another pretty mess.)

Mavis spends half their time tucked up in someone’s lap (usually Harvie bc they have the least jarring reaction and Mavis doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable) and Harvie won’t bat an eye. That is simply Mavis being Mavis

Meanwhile Harvie will grab Mavis by the face to inspect their makeup and Mavis will just let it happen

(Mavis is actually So Aware of all of their crushes but also refuses to acknowledge them for a second. Yes they want to kiss Harvie and Vyn and Luke and Artem. So what? That doesn’t mean they’re going to act any different)

Shienehsobejel

Vyn’s version of exposure therapy is hardcore flirting. Which he will be dragging everyone else into as well. Because the two resident demigods want them all and Vyn will make that happen

But also

The NXX boys seeing Harvie and Mavis with messy makeup: We can make that worse

Ohhh the boys get absolutely KOd the first time they get the lipstick treatment. But to be fair, if Harvie and Mavis also got the lipstick treatment they’d be KOd too. They’re just usually giving it

(Vyn and Artem have to put perhaps too much effort into getting their shit back together for work

Meanwhile Marius and Luke swear they got sent to the pearly gates and float around for a bit because. Wow.

Harvie feels the type to go so so red if they were put under kiss fire like that

Meanwhile Mavis literally just floats in a daze for A While. Maybe even the whole day if they’re hit just right)

Mavis gets somehow even softer when drunk, or perhaps they just get quieter about it? They are all loose limbs and doe eyes and you really can’t help but want to squish them. Which if Harvie is drunk too will be happening

And once their cheeks have been squished their lips look so pouty and—

I am always down to send asks even if you don’t promise to behave

So

Uhmmm

Ideas

Oh! Harvie throwing a shoe at Marius for being too Rick Boy maybe?

Uhhhhh

Playing oc dolls with Mavis and Harvie? Idk

Jsndndjdjd

See most days Harvie will claim to care more about their shoes than Marius’ face (also they think throwing shoes is impractical. They gotta go get that now :/ and they’re constantly wearing heels so it’s either lopsided or they gotta a throw two which is an option too tbh) but if they were already having a bad day complete with broken heel and Marius pulled a “don’t worry about it being super late I can just buy the store they’ll open for you now” they would absolutely beam that man with a shoe and make a fair attempt at walking home barefoot. They make it like half a block before Marius catches up

(Harvie also throws an ice pack at him after he takes them home and invites himself in. He teases them about being worried for his good looks and they have a very clear moment where they are fully debating if they can get away with his murder. They instead slump next to him on the couch and grumble that he’s not even icing his stupid face right before taking over holding the ice pack in place for him.)

Ooo Mavis and Harvie would be fun because they’re both playing at pleasantry but one means it because thats all they think they are and the other uses it as a thin mask to keep from throwing hands constantly.

Marius would whine endlessly about Harvie being so mean to him but he is also picking them up and princess carrying to their apartment (or at least trying to)

But also Harvie and Mavis having the opposite jobs you’d think they would

Always smiling kind Mavis being Security

While barely holding back from violence Harvie is a lawyer

But when Marius runs up and scoops them up in one fluid move that is unfairly attractive, Harvie only snaps at him for being and idiot and makes no attempt to free themself (and they both know they could. So few things could actually hold them if they didn’t want to be held.). In fact they settle back against his chest and totally don’t play with his necklace as he carries them home.

Dnndndnd

The team looking at these two wondering if they accidentally traded dream jobs. (Luke would laugh if anyone said it out loud. He had watched Harvie pour over law books physical and audio before getting mad and tossing them at walls when the words didn’t work. They always came back though. When everything else was broken and abandoned for frustrating them, Harvie always came back for their law books and dusted them off before trying again.)

Luke: I don’t know what to do with myself now that I’m not pulling someone out of trouble at all the time.

Mavis, clearly Different in a similar way to Harvie even if the specifics of what makes them Different aren’t the same: Hey.

Luke: !!! Another one ????

!!! Oh oh oh but both Mavis and Harvie being confused why they’re there when there’s a “better” demigod. Mavis seeing themself as fragile and Harvie seeing themself as Too Much. Too difficult. Both of them thinking the other is a better fit for the team.

Mavis and Harvie get each other in such an intrinsic way that no one can really understand and is so so so normal about.

He has also witnessed Mavis pass off basically anything that requires reading to anyone else and forget what they said five seconds before all while not trying to fix it because they simply don’t want to

He has also seen Mavis purposely fuck up too many files to ever think they care about evidence

Truly the idea of Mavis as a lawyer and Harvie as security is Too Wrong and he doesn’t get how everyone keeps assuming things (well, he does. But he just takes it as confirmation that he knows the two best out of anyone ((except maybe each other??? It’s slightly unclear what’s going on there)) and moves on with a smug little smirk)

But also

Luke: *sad and missing Harvie*

Mavis: *literally breaking into his room* Hi! You’re new here right? I’m Mavis!

Luke: … I’m Luke…

Mavis: Oh, ew. You deserve a better name. I’m gonna call you Lulu

Luke: *internally* Wow. Okay. What are the odds this happens twice?

But also! Luke seeing Mavis’s camp necklace and being like “huh” because those reads are mighty similar, aren’t they

Anyways, Harvie considering themself a blunt instrument while it is actually Mavis’s job to be the blunt instrument who gets in fights

Mavis considering themself too fragile and soft while Harvie’s job is to be understanding and to care for the people they’re defending

But also Harvie is sharp clean work clothes basically all the time while Mavis is in their flowy outfits and clinking jewelry the second they can get out of their work clothes

Also

Harvie: L you have a type

Mavis: ??? But you’re the lawyer???

Harvie: No L like the letter

Mavis: ! Oh ! Yeah that fits Lulu doesn’t know how to sit in chairs either.

The demigods immediately clocking each other while everyone else clocks that they are clocking each other and is trying to figure out how Harvie just happened to know both new members (Luke included he is not used to not knowing things about either of them and then both knowing each other is not something he was prepared for). Then Harvie just nods. It’s always good to have a second demigod around. If a third shows up someone has to bolt though. Threes are never good for demigods.

But also Harvie mentally logging Mavis as Safe immediately and letting them hang off of them constantly. Harvie who keeps a professional distance from everyone (except Luke but even then when they are on a case he is slotted into Coworker Mode not Friend Mode) unless they are committing violence holding Mavis’ entire weight as they share a pair of earbuds listening, or not listening in Mavis’ case, to whatever new case there is.

Marius: I want cafe dates too!

Harvie: So take yourself, brat.

Marius: Vievie is so mean!

Mavis: You like them mean though :)

Harvie: Hold up wait don’t encourage this!

Also love the implication that Harvie is aware of Luke’s crush on both them and Mavis and saying he has a type. Or them meaning “type” as in type of friend but not clarifying that so Luke probably thinks Harvie Knows

Luke: *being confronted with Not Knowing something about the two people he is closest to ever that they seem to know about each other* hmm. Don’t like that

But also!! Harvie is probably at least somewhat used to Mavis dealing themself over people because one of the only ways they knew how to help was being the Camp Weighted Blanket. So they do drape a lot. And if you lay down down they’re liable to lay on top of you kinda like a cat

(Omg the boys finding Harvie and Mavis asleep curled up on the NXX couch napping. The cuteness aggression would take them out)

And ohhhh. Even if the boys don’t catch the two on a cafe date, everyone knows when it happens bc Mavis brings everyone drinks and snacks (they have everyone’s favorites memorized but they won’t remember any case file name)

And yeah. Marius would say he wants to be between them. He would also say he wants Harvie between him and Mavis. And Mavis between him and Harvie. As long as it’s no to either of their faces

He has to deal with just getting Mavis’s affection until he earns Harvie’s

Luke probably gets dragged into cuddles and affection however because Harvie allows it as long as it’s Friend Mode

Omg wait. Artem getting attacked with hugs and affection. I fear he wouldn’t know how to handle it. He’s getting bullied

(Harvie has not figured out his crush on him. Nor their crush on him. They have however clocked the potential of him and Mavis. And later Mavis with everyone. Which makes sense. Mavis is easy to like. They’re not all rough edges. Mavis is a glittering jewel in a priceless neckless and Harvie is a run in a cheap pair of tights. Why would anyone be interested in them when it is wretched work almost all the time?)

Shndnd Harvie really only intended to lay down for a second and instead got trapped by a little bird deciding they were more comfy that the whole other couch and laying on top of them. And like they could move them sure but Mavis is a familiar weight and they have been trying to brute force their way through a new case file that hasn’t been through the formatting changes/doesn’t have an audio version yet and their head and eyes ache and

They’re out like a light.

Mavis is only awake long enough to make sure they’re out (and maybe take their hair down so their head doesn’t continue to hurt like they are trying to pretend it doesn’t) before following.

Vyn nearly trips over the table when he sees them. He finds a blanket to put over the two of them and decides to read on the other couch. For no reason really.

imagining Mavis bouncing in to hand out drinks and snacks to everyone while chattering about their date with Harvie while all of their imaginations run wild. Harvie is carrying the second drink carrier with their and Mavis’ to go orders waiting for them to finish before going back to work.

Harvie is clocking Mavis’s potential with everyone meanwhile Mavis is clocking Harvie’s potential with everyone and totally gets it

Because Mavis sees Harvie and sees their strength and drive and intelligence. They’re so smart and so compassionate and so driven to bring people to justice. And Mavis is just… Mavis. Pretty, sure, but fragile. Like glass. And Harvie is already plenty pretty too so what’s there going for them?

(Ohhh I love when characters see the worst in themself but it’s actually what the others see as the best of them and vice versa)

(Like the demigods can See It for each other the guys can also See It for them. They’re so familiar with each other. Know each other so much more deeply. It makes sense. And while they would fight each other.. how can you fight one of the people you care about so deeply? Both of them?

But also! Luke seeing Mavis’s camp necklace and being like “huh” because those reads are mighty similar, aren’t they

Anyways, Harvie considering themself a blunt instrument while it is actually Mavis’s job to be the blunt instrument who gets in fights

Mavis considering themself too fragile and soft while Harvie’s job is to be understanding and to care for the people they’re defending

But also Harvie is sharp clean work clothes basically all the time while Mavis is in their flowy outfits and clinking jewelry the second they can get out of their work clothes

Also

Harvie: L you have a type

Mavis: ??? But you’re the lawyer???

Harvie: No L like the letter

Mavis: ! Oh ! Yeah that fits Lulu doesn’t know how to sit in chairs either.

The demigods immediately clocking each other while everyone else clocks that they are clocking each other and is trying to figure out how Harvie just happened to know both new members (Luke included he is not used to not knowing things about either of them and then both knowing each other is not something he was prepared for). Then Harvie just nods. It’s always good to have a second demigod around. If a third shows up someone has to bolt though. Threes are never good for demigods.

But also Harvie mentally logging Mavis as Safe immediately and letting them hang off of them constantly. Harvie who keeps a professional distance from everyone (except Luke but even then when they are on a case he is slotted into Coworker Mode not Friend Mode) unless they are committing violence holding Mavis’ entire weight as they share a pair of earbuds listening, or not listening in Mavis’ case, to whatever new case there is.

Marius: I want cafe dates too!

Harvie: So take yourself, brat.

Marius: Vievie is so mean!

Mavis: You like them mean though :)

Harvie: Hold up wait don’t encourage this!

Also love the implication that Harvie is aware of Luke’s crush on both them and Mavis and saying he has a type. Or them meaning “type” as in type of friend but not clarifying that so Luke probably thinks Harvie Knows

Luke: *being confronted with Not Knowing something about the two people he is closest to ever that they seem to know about each other* hmm. Don’t like that

But also!! Harvie is probably at least somewhat used to Mavis dealing themself over people because one of the only ways they knew how to help was being the Camp Weighted Blanket. So they do drape a lot. And if you lay down down they’re liable to lay on top of you kinda like a cat

(Omg the boys finding Harvie and Mavis asleep curled up on the NXX couch napping. The cuteness aggression would take them out)

And ohhhh. Even if the boys don’t catch the two on a cafe date, everyone knows when it happens bc Mavis brings everyone drinks and snacks (they have everyone’s favorites memorized but they won’t remember any case file name)

And yeah. Marius would say he wants to be between them. He would also say he wants Harvie between him and Mavis. And Mavis between him and Harvie. As long as it’s no to either of their faces

He has to deal with just getting Mavis’s affection until he earns Harvie’s

Luke probably gets dragged into cuddles and affection however because Harvie allows it as long as it’s Friend Mode

Omg wait. Artem getting attacked with hugs and affection. I fear he wouldn’t know how to handle it. He’s getting bullied

(Harvie has not figured out his crush on him. Nor their crush on him. They have however clocked the potential of him and Mavis. And later Mavis with everyone. Which makes sense. Mavis is easy to like. They’re not all rough edges. Mavis is a glittering jewel in a priceless neckless and Harvie is a run in a cheap pair of tights. Why would anyone be interested in them when it is wretched work almost all the time?)

Shndnd Harvie really only intended to lay down for a second and instead got trapped by a little bird deciding they were more comfy that the whole other couch and laying on top of them. And like they could move them sure but Mavis is a familiar weight and they have been trying to brute force their way through a new case file that hasn’t been through the formatting changes/doesn’t have an audio version yet and their head and eyes ache and

They’re out like a light.

Mavis is only awake long enough to make sure they’re out (and maybe take their hair down so their head doesn’t continue to hurt like they are trying to pretend it doesn’t) before following.

Vyn nearly trips over the table when he sees them. He finds a blanket to put over the two of them and decides to read on the other couch. For no reason really.

imagining Mavis bouncing in to hand out drinks and snacks to everyone while chattering about their date with Harvie while all of their imaginations run wild. Harvie is carrying the second drink carrier with their and Mavis’ to go orders waiting for them to finish before going back to work.

Marius would not make it if put between them. Man would be so flustered. He cannot taaake it. If Mavis was pressed up behind him trusting their whole weight to him as they crooned about Harvie being cute while they press close and toy with Marius’ necklace the way they do when they want affection but refuse to ask for it he would die and go to heaven I think.

I don’t think any of them would truly be able to last through getting double teamed by the demigods. Luke has the most resistance due to proximity but even he still gets flushed and wide eyed when dragged into cuddles.

Artem would pass out I fear. He can’t take it. With Mavis in his arms in an enthusiastic hug and Harvie with their face buried between his shoulder blades much more shyly he might die.

Mavis: Ohh. I totally see it

The NXX boys: What are they talking about?

(They will not admit to being jealous of something they don’t get. Because Harvie and Mavis wouldn’t call Luke a chick magnet. But. But they aren’t aware of what exactly the two are talking about either so)

Harvie is clocking Mavis’s potential with everyone meanwhile Mavis is clocking Harvie’s potential with everyone and totally gets it

Because Mavis sees Harvie and sees their strength and drive and intelligence. They’re so smart and so compassionate and so driven to bring people to justice. And Mavis is just… Mavis. Pretty, sure, but fragile. Like glass. And Harvie is already plenty pretty too so what’s there going for them?

(Ohhh I love when characters see the worst in themself but it’s actually what the others see as the best of them and vice versa)

And Mavis has an Instinct about when someone is sitting or lying and resting on the couch and they will casually skip over and use themself like a blanket

Which. Totally doesn’t break whatever boy gets a lap full of birdie. Nope. Not at all. They’re totally fine

(Harvie gets a good laugh out of that. Several good laughs even. But they get it. Mavis is soft and warm and pretty and basically the perfect cuddle buddy. It hard to resist

They are a little disappointed that they didn’t get to see Luke’s reaction to the first time it’s happen. Because they can tell he’s had a few years to build up a tolerance and even then)

Thinking about it, Mavis and Harvie def get mistaken as a couple whenever they’re out and about like. All the time

Which the boys are So Normal about

(Sometimes it’s speculating who a godly parent would be. Sometimes it’s a reference to a camp meme. Sometimes it really means nothing and they are legitimately just messing with the guys because it’s funny)

Onsndjshs ooooo I could definitely see them both trying to step aside for the other and causing so much grief for everyone. Because of course the other is who everyone would want. They want their fellow demigod. It’s not hard.

(Somewhere Aphrodite is screaming in frustration.)

Harvie doesn’t even blink. They usually just lift their arms to let Mavis snuggle in and drop them again once they’re settled. They don’t even look away from whatever file they’re reading in their tablet.

But the boys. None of them are ever quite prepared for it. Which is hilarious to Harvie. How many examples do they need before they expect it?

(While Harvie isn’t to the point of Becoming Blanket, once they get more comfortable they start kicking their heels off and swinging their legs into the lap of whoever’s next to them. Presumably because of all the shit they pull while wearing heels making their feet hurt. In practice they like the proximity and the massage that follows once whoever’s brain turns back on is also nice they guess.

Mavis also gets a good laugh at that.)

Oh Mavis and Harvie are constantly mistaken as a couple which I feel that neither really care to dispute (because funny or just too much effort for people whose opinions don’t matter) and the guys are so. Normal about it. Arguably even more Normal than when none of them gets mistaken as one of their partners.

(Like the demigods can See It for each other the guys can also See It for them. They’re so familiar with each other. Know each other so much more deeply. It makes sense. And while they would fight each other.. how can you fight one of the people you care about so deeply? Both of them? If they’re lucky they will choose to open their relationship to more than just the two of them but if not.. at least they would both be happy)

nhdjsjsbsbbsbsbs my brain said

Harvie: That’s a cute shade of lipstick. I’m never sure if I’ll like it on myself when I see it in the store so I haven’t bought it yet.

Mavis: I can help with that

This is the most fun she’s had in ages. This is her version of trashy reality TV

She sends people to flirt with the group to sew chaos because she finds it funny. None of them will ever know peace

(Which everyone is So Normal about. Harvie gets to play guard dog partner for Mavis a lot because they struggle with hurting people’s feelings. Well, everyone does. But Harvie and Luke do it the most in a guard dog way. Artem tries to respectfully intervene. While Vyn and Marius Commit to the boyfriend bit

Harvie however has no complications when it comes to shutting people down so long as they clock it)

But also dhisbsulehsijs

Marius wants to see Harvie and Mavis make out So Bad. Well, all the boys do

But Marius is pathetic about it in a way that’s hard to replicate

I am always down to send asks even if you don’t promise to behave

So

Uhmmm

Ideas

Oh! Harvie throwing a shoe at Marius for being too Rick Boy maybe?

Uhhhhh

Playing oc dolls with Mavis and Harvie? Idk

Jsndndjdjd

See most days Harvie will claim to care more about their shoes than Marius’ face (also they think throwing shoes is impractical. They gotta go get that now :/ and they’re constantly wearing heels so it’s either lopsided or they gotta a throw two which is an option too tbh) but if they were already having a bad day complete with broken heel and Marius pulled a “don’t worry about it being super late I can just buy the store they’ll open for you now” they would absolutely beam that man with a shoe and make a fair attempt at walking home barefoot. They make it like half a block before Marius catches up

(Harvie also throws an ice pack at him after he takes them home and invites himself in. He teases them about being worried for his good looks and they have a very clear moment where they are fully debating if they can get away with his murder. They instead slump next to him on the couch and grumble that he’s not even icing his stupid face right before taking over holding the ice pack in place for him.)

Ooo Mavis and Harvie would be fun because they’re both playing at pleasantry but one means it because thats all they think they are and the other uses it as a thin mask to keep from throwing hands constantly.

Marius would whine endlessly about Harvie being so mean to him but he is also picking them up and princess carrying to their apartment (or at least trying to)

But also Harvie and Mavis having the opposite jobs you’d think they would

Always smiling kind Mavis being Security

While barely holding back from violence Harvie is a lawyer

But when Marius runs up and scoops them up in one fluid move that is unfairly attractive, Harvie only snaps at him for being and idiot and makes no attempt to free themself (and they both know they could. So few things could actually hold them if they didn’t want to be held.). In fact they settle back against his chest and totally don’t play with his necklace as he carries them home.

Dnndndnd

The team looking at these two wondering if they accidentally traded dream jobs. (Luke would laugh if anyone said it out loud. He had watched Harvie pour over law books physical and audio before getting mad and tossing them at walls when the words didn’t work. They always came back though. When everything else was broken and abandoned for frustrating them, Harvie always came back for their law books and dusted them off before trying again.)

Luke: I don’t know what to do with myself now that I’m not pulling someone out of trouble at all the time.

Mavis, clearly Different in a similar way to Harvie even if the specifics of what makes them Different aren’t the same: Hey.

Luke: !!! Another one ????

!!! Oh oh oh but both Mavis and Harvie being confused why they’re there when there’s a “better” demigod. Mavis seeing themself as fragile and Harvie seeing themself as Too Much. Too difficult. Both of them thinking the other is a better fit for the team.

Mavis and Harvie get each other in such an intrinsic way that no one can really understand and is so so so normal about.

He has also witnessed Mavis pass off basically anything that requires reading to anyone else and forget what they said five seconds before all while not trying to fix it because they simply don’t want to

He has also seen Mavis purposely fuck up too many files to ever think they care about evidence

Truly the idea of Mavis as a lawyer and Harvie as security is Too Wrong and he doesn’t get how everyone keeps assuming things (well, he does. But he just takes it as confirmation that he knows the two best out of anyone ((except maybe each other??? It’s slightly unclear what’s going on there)) and moves on with a smug little smirk)

But also

Luke: *sad and missing Harvie*

Mavis: *literally breaking into his room* Hi! You’re new here right? I’m Mavis!

Luke: … I’m Luke…

Mavis: Oh, ew. You deserve a better name. I’m gonna call you Lulu

Luke: *internally* Wow. Okay. What are the odds this happens twice?

But also! Luke seeing Mavis’s camp necklace and being like “huh” because those reads are mighty similar, aren’t they

Mavis considering themself too fragile and soft while Harvie’s job is to be understanding and to care for the people they’re defending

But also Harvie is sharp clean work clothes basically all the time while Mavis is in their flowy outfits and clinking jewelry the second they can get out of their work clothes

I am always down to send asks even if you don’t promise to behave

So

Uhmmm

Ideas

Oh! Harvie throwing a shoe at Marius for being too Rick Boy maybe?

Uhhhhh

Playing oc dolls with Mavis and Harvie? Idk

Jsndndjdjd

See most days Harvie will claim to care more about their shoes than Marius’ face (also they think throwing shoes is impractical. They gotta go get that now :/ and they’re constantly wearing heels so it’s either lopsided or they gotta a throw two which is an option too tbh) but if they were already having a bad day complete with broken heel and Marius pulled a “don’t worry about it being super late I can just buy the store they’ll open for you now” they would absolutely beam that man with a shoe and make a fair attempt at walking home barefoot. They make it like half a block before Marius catches up

(Harvie also throws an ice pack at him after he takes them home and invites himself in. He teases them about being worried for his good looks and they have a very clear moment where they are fully debating if they can get away with his murder. They instead slump next to him on the couch and grumble that he’s not even icing his stupid face right before taking over holding the ice pack in place for him.)

Ooo Mavis and Harvie would be fun because they’re both playing at pleasantry but one means it because thats all they think they are and the other uses it as a thin mask to keep from throwing hands constantly.

Marius would whine endlessly about Harvie being so mean to him but he is also picking them up and princess carrying to their apartment (or at least trying to)

But also Harvie and Mavis having the opposite jobs you’d think they would

Always smiling kind Mavis being Security

While barely holding back from violence Harvie is a lawyer

Thank you @tsukithewolf
