Fandom: M*A*S*H (show) Pairing: Father Mulcahy x gender neutral reader Requested by @inlovewithmulcahy: something with reader and Mulcahy would be great.. I guess like something with a dancing, kissing, cuddling etc. Very sensory driven? Maybe some confessions of love (and if you’re comfortable then turn up the heat with light NSFW?) Word count: 1028 Notes: This is my first imagine for M*A*S*H and my first time writing for Father Mulcahy. This isn’t meant to offend anyone who is of Catholic belief. I understand that generally priests do not have relationships, but this is only fiction. I hope you enjoy!

You swayed slowly to the grainy-sounding song playing on the jukebox in the officer’s club. Your arms were wrapped loosely around Father Mulcahy’s neck, and his were around your waist. His hands were firmly rest on the small of your back, never straying or going any lower. Your head was on his shoulder; his leaned against yours softly. You could feel his crucifix necklace against your chest, and you felt his breathing on your neck.
It had been a very long week. There had been tons of casualties and one day the compound had been shelled. Luckily, no one had been injured but it caused a great deal of fear and tension. It was quiet now, though, and you and Father Mulcahy were relishing in it. Almost everyone else had left the club, for it was late and everyone was exhausted from such a long week. The only other people in the place were Hawkeye, Lieutenant Baker, and Klinger who was manning the bar. But you and Father Mulcahy just wanted to spend as much time with each other as you could before things picked up again.
You sighed slowly. “I wish we could have more moments like this.”
“As do I,” he replied. “But I am grateful for the moments we do have.”
You smiled. “Me too. Especially after this week.”
He nodded. “The Lord knew what we needed.”
“Thank him for me next time you see him,” you said half-jokingly.
You felt a laugh rumble through Father Mulcahy’s chest. “I’ll try to remember.”
“Keep room for Jesus, you two,” Hawkeye teased, moving closer to the two of you with Baker practically attached to his hip. They, too, were dancing, though they were pressed more firmly against each other than you and the Father.
You rolled your eyes playfully at Hawkeye who just grinned.
“There is always room for Him if you let there be,” Father Mulcahy said, though he did move back slightly. You knew it was conflicting for him to be so close to your physically and follow his beliefs. You never pushed him or did anything he wasn’t comfortable with. It was confusing enough for him as it was without you putting any kind of pressure onto him. You were just happy to spend time with him in whatever ways he felt most comfortable with.
“Well said, Father,” Hawkeye replied.
You pulled back fully and untangled your arms from his neck. “It’s late. I should probably get some sleep. Will you walk me back to my tent?”
“Of course, my dear,” Father Mulcahy said with a smile. He removed his arms from your waist and nodded at Hawkeye. “Goodnight Hawkeye. Lieutenant.”
“Night Father, night Y/N,” Hawkeye said. He smiled. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
You smiled and saw Father Mulcahy’s cheeks redden.
He led you through the camp, hand gently rested on the small of your back. You two walked in silence, just enjoying the quiet of the night.
“Well,” you said as you approached your tent, “this is my stop.”
Father Mulcahy smiled. “Goodnight, Y/N. Thank you for tonight.”
“It was my pleasure,” you said with a grin. “I’ll meet you in the mess tent for breakfast?”
He nodded. “I’ll see you then.”
You leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. You felt his cheek muscles tighten with a smile. “Do you want to come in for a bit?”
He hesitated. He frowned with thought, then said, “Well, perhaps for a little while.”
You smiled widely and opened the door to your tent. You shucked off your shoes and sat on your cot. “Make yourself at home.”
Father Mulcahy smiled softly and sat beside you on the bed.
“Just so you know, I’m not expecting or thinking about anything other than just hanging out,” you told him.
“I appreciate that,” he said with a nod. “But perhaps… we could lie in the bed together?”
A grin broke out across your face. “I’d love that.”
You two lay down and Father Mulcahy wrapped his arms around you, awkwardly at first but once you nuzzled against his chest he relaxed. You listened to his heartbeat, the sound calming your mind and your body.
You sighed in content. “You know, maybe the only good thing about this war has been meeting you.”
“I have felt the same way about you.” He gently ran his fingers up and down your bicep. “The connections and relationships we’ve made here will always be something I cherish. But what I have with you… is something I have never felt. I never thought I would ever feel like this.”
You smiled softly. “I know how confusing it must be, being a priest and all.”
“Yes,” he admitted slowly. “But these are trying times, and I… hope the Lord will forgive me.”
“Being close with someone shouldn’t be a sin,” you said gently. “But I know that you will be forgiven.”
“Thank you. I apologize if my confliction ever causes you discomfort.”
You shook your head. “You don’t have to apologize. I knew what I signed up for when I started having feelings for a priest,” you said with a small laugh.
Father Mulcahy smiled. “Y/N, may I confess something to you?”
“But I thought you were the priest,” you joked.
He laughed. “Even we need someone to confess to every now and then.”
“You can tell me anything,” you said, moving to prop yourself up on your elbows.
He looked at you nervously. “I think… I might be falling in love with you.”
Your eyes widened and your heart skipped a beat. You stared at him with your mouth open slightly for a good minute while he looked at you anxious for a response.
“I… I think I’m falling in love with you, too,” you replied, smiling widely at him.
“Really?” he asked, a smile spreading on his face.
You nodded.
“Well, then, may I kiss you?” he asked meekly.
You placed a hand on his cheek gently. “Please.”
His gaze moved from your lips up to your eyes. When he met your gaze, you both smiled. He leaned in, softly pressing his lips against yours.
Story time: I started a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). But it felt like it flew by, so after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.
The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And Fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.
So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.

There is something so beautiful about woman dressed in historical clothing that’s usually only worn by men.
Like, a man wearing historical fashion: eh, ok I guess, I mean it’s still cool cause- history! but still just ok…
But a woman: More beautiful than Aphrodite, a queen! I aspire to look like this. Woman, honestly, can pull of historical men’s historical fashion so well, and they all look like queens and badasses.

Time After Time
Pairing: Greylock the Grand x Childhood friend! Reader
Word Count: Roughly 1,586 words
Warnings: Mental health mention and lots of yearning
Notes: I do not own the gif or the characters; they belong to their rightful owners! The story is all mine though ☺💖💝 Feedback is always appreciated and requests for stories on certain characters are always welcome!
--------------------------------------------------
To say that you and Greylock made an entrance at the ceremony was an understatement. You were dressed in the most radiant blue gown you could afford with your castle paycheck while Greylock had worn a finely-fit black tux under his usual cloak. Like two peas in a pod, you gracefully made your way to an empty seat in the semi-crowded ballroom.
Additionally, unlike the ‘holier-than-thou’ strut that he usually carried himself with, Greylock switched it in favor of clutching onto you and walking as if he was on cloud nine. Which he felt he was currently on.
This, of course, immediately got the attention of his would-be rival Cedric, who let out an exasperated sigh at the sight of you two together. It wasn’t as if he didn’t trust you or your judgement, but he most definitely did not trust the man latched to your side. Especially since the woman Greylock chose to get involved with was his sister.
He never fully understood why you both gravitated towards each other, but, if he made you happy, then who was he to stop your seemingly harmless relationship.
What baffled Cedric at that moment though, was how he had gotten you to agree to join him at this year's ball. You two hadn’t kept in touch that much over the last couple of years given his transfer to Magnus’ kingdom, so the fact you both were still on decent standing confused him. But he wouldn’t deny that he was relieved you were finally getting what you had been wanting for the last couple of years. Especially since he had to hear an earful of it every day you two were apart.
--------------Earlier That Evening--------------
Wandering around the seemingly endless corridors of the Enchancia castle, Greylock was dying to find an excuse to leave or let loose at the ball him and most of his colleagues were cordially invited to. Not that he didn’t appreciate the food and view though. Enchanica had a certain type of charm that left people wanting more, and Greylock definitely desired more. More company that is.
And when he caught a glance of a stunning woman, he finally thought he had a chance of getting what he so desperately wanted.
When Greylock caught his first glance at you though, he couldn't catch the breath that escaped his lungs quick enough.
You were the most gorgeous creature he had ever laid his eyes on and, in a sense of silent fleeting hope, he dreamed that you could be the one to ease his distress at the function he was forced to attend by his dear king Magnus. Staring at you for at least five minutes straight, Greylock was shaken out of his thoughts when he realized he should probably get a move on if he wanted to avoid someone else snatching your attention. Especially since the woman was someone that he knew quite well.
Gripping the top of his pointed, purple hat, he slowly lowered it to be gripped by his left palm.
Circling the brim with both hands, be walked at an excruciatingly slow pace towards you and went to grip your hand.
".....(y/n)?..Is it really you?"
To that, you only shook your head and let out a soft and quiet laugh as you turned to fully face you.
"I’m surprised it took you so long to figure it out, Lock. You’re usually so quick to pick up details, and I was getting tired of you staring at me from so far away,” you said teasingly.
Greylock’s face was brought back to his usual face spanning smile, but the usual arrogant gleam in his eyes was replaced with a loving tint.
“It’s so good to see you (y/n). I’ve missed you so much; I’ve tried to keep in touch- I swear! King Magnus’ rule just kept me too tied up. But nothing pleases me more than seeing your radiant face once more.”
His eyes dropped into one of pure fondness as he leaned down to finish kissing the top of your hand. Looking up, he noticed the bashful look on your face as you ducked your head and gripped his hand tighter for a few seconds longer. When the seconds finished, you reluctantly pulled your palms towards your abdomen.
"A touching compliment from one so handsome, my dear ol’ friend. Would you care to accompany me to the dining hall? I hear they're serving the finest dish tonight and I’d be delighted to share mine with you.”
When you both started making your way to the ballroom Greylock was met with the sudden realization of why he missed you so much. You had always offered him solace and a way to let loose without fear of ridicule or jealousy. It shocked him that you could be the twin sister of this sworn rival. Although you both were very much alike, you were both so starkly different. Particularly when it came to opinions on him. Regardless of that though, he appreciated everything you helped him through and yearned to start a future with you. One where you were more than friends. One where you were both lovers. That’s why following you like a lovesick puppy came so naturally to him. Even if he did it in front of a crowd of royalty and royal subjects,
---------------------------------------------------
Over the span of the night, you and Greylock had catched up on the time he had missed out on (as well as the time you missed out on), ate a lovely dinner together, squabbled chatted with your brother, and joked around with a few of your old friends. When both of you guys’ favorite song began to reverberate through the echoing ballroom, both of you couldn’t deny the desire to get caught up in each other's arms.
“May I have this dance my dear?,” he asked, offering you his right arm.
Repressing a face-splitting grin, you quipped back a, “Do you even have to ask?”
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Pulling each other together while you rested your head on his upper chest, Greylock started to sway you both left to right in a rhythmic motion. And although you both shared each other's feelings, neither of you wanted to voice them. The fear of ruining the moment weighted too heavy over both of your heads.
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
In a similar turn of events, you began to think back on all of the childhood memories you had shared together and how, when the stress of living up to your father began to harm your mental health, Greylock was always there to reassure and offer you comfort. This led to a string of thoughts related to the traits you favored in him. You adored the softness of his hair, the drawl of his voice, the airiness of his laugh, the way he made you laugh and entertained people, and the playfulness of his attitude. What you loved the most though, was the way he made you feel loved.
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
While finishing your stream of thoughts, Greylock pushed you back just enough to see your eyes and hesitantly opened his mouth. Shifting his eyes, he started to sweat; as though he was regretting initiating this particular conversation.
"Darling... what...would you say your plans are for the future?"
This question frightened you a tad, but the romantic atmosphere in the air had gifted you enough confidence to share a small aspect of your real feelings.
"Well.. I suppose advance in my career and...perhaps be in your life more. You've been gone so long, and I've just realized how terribly I miss you."
With a fastened heartbeat and hopefully teasing tone, Greylock quipped back saying:
"Trying to charm me are you? Well, I'd say that you've succeeded my dear."
He arched his left eyebrow and offered you a playful smirk, adding quickly:
"I knew it was just a matter of time before you fell into my dashing arms."
You swatted his arm playfully and then dragged you hand down it until it reached his elbow. Gazing tenderly up at him, you gave a shy smile and clutched his arm in an affectionate manner.
"Would that be so bad? Falling into your arms? Or perhaps,...falling in love with you?"
Those sixteen words were all Greylock needed to hear to have his heart slamming erratically in his chest and his pointed ears burn a shocking shade of red.
He had yearned for you to admit those feelings for the longest time and could feel his childhood sense of glee rise in his throat as he knew that his feelings were being reciprocated.
Stopping you both from dancing, he gripped both of yours arms in his palms and leaned his forehead slowly down onto yours.
"Love, I wouldn't have it any other way. After all, if this is what makes life so divine, then the key to heaven is mine. If you would accept, I'd love to have the chance to...perhaps...court you?"
And with one swift swoop upwards, you pressed your lips together and melded them in fluid motion.
"My love, I wouldn't have it any other way either."
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Pairing: Silvanus Kettleburn x Reader
Word Count: Roughly 3,506 words
Author’s note: I?? Have?? Not?? Seen?? Any?? Works?? For?? This?? Precious?? Hufflepuff?? Man?? So sad *sigh*
If you guys have any characters that you would like to see me write a fluff alphabet for, I would be glad to do so! Hope you Kettleburn fans enjoy this lmao
A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
As is to be expected, Silvanus loves any activity that deals with magical creatures. Since he takes care of only a few for a living, he likes to bring you on trips to find and observe more obscure and less appreciated creatures.
Despite him being so focused on magical creatures, he does enjoy flying his broom with you and enjoying the scenery at and away from Hogwarts. He also loves indulging in your hobbies as well. Whatever makes you happy, usually ends up making him feel overjoyed as well.
B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Silvanus admires your unwavering love and commitment to him the most, to be honest. He never thought that he'd meet someone that would appreciate and love him the way that you did; never mind the fact that he'd find someone who desired to be in his company. Too many times has he been the subject of ridicule and never looked at in a positive light. Because of his reckless determination in studying and caring for magical creatures, not many individuals fancy his company. You, though, have defied all expectations and stuck with him through thick and thin. And for that, he's so very grateful.
Appearance wise, Silvanus loves your smile and how it touches every aspect of your face. To him, your smile reassures him that he is valid and can be taken seriously. Furthermore, it reveals how happy you are to be around him and share in his interests. He really needs to be reminded of your love, and to look at your smiling face reveals all he needs to know.
C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
When his s/o feels down about a certain matter, or is facing a sudden bout of bad mental health, his first instinct is to comfort you and then aim to find solutions. If you're in a public place when a panic attack occurs, he'll immediately steer you away from the crowd into a secluded area and then instruct you to follow your exercises in order to calm down. Once you've reached a decent equilibrium, he'll begin to hug you and soothe any worries that seem to be bothering you. When all else fails though, he has a way with making you laugh without fail every time.
Overall, he's very empathic and will pick up on anything you may be needed at any given time.
D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
Ever since he first met you, Silvanus had known he wanted a future with you. Once he started his relationship with you though, he knew he wanted more. Although children had never been a serious topic that he had considered, you had changed that opinion very quickly. After your marriage, he brought up the idea to you and waited till see your opinion on the matter before he did anything serious. If you didn't want any children, he may be disheartened for a while, but will ultimately accept it given a bit of time. If you say yes though, he will be over the moon. Lord knows he needs someone as excitable as he is for company.
E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or are they rather passive?
Although he doesn’t intentionally do it, Silvanus is usually the more dominant one in you two’s relationship. With his excitable nature and drive to please you, he usually takes the more dominant role in the relationship. But he is more than willing to have you take control over things.
Overall, he just lets his passion flow and goes along with how it ends up.
F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How is their fighting?
If a fight occurred between the two of you, it would have to be very serious. Usually you two can discuss issues in a clear and effective manner, but occasionally something will pop up that will make your emotions take control. When that happens, your fight usually lasts for a couple hours and includes a heavy yelling match; after you two finish and calm down though, you come back to each other and deal with the issue properly.
G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
In general, Silvanus is beyond grateful. Whether it be for life, other people or you, he is just glad to be able to walk through life and experience all of its joys. His injuries left him with an appreciation for life and for the people that have helped him through the years.
You have been there for him in both the good and bad times since you two met, and he could never repay the amount of happiness you have made him feel over the years. And he is aware of that every day he wakes up.
H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
Since you two do not have a lot of free time and are always at school or with each other, there isn’t much he can, or would, hide from you. After years of being together, he feels as though he can confide in you for a number of things and trusts you to hold even his darkest of secrets. And he knows that you would do the same when it comes to him.
I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?
Although Dumbledore states that his injuries were the source of his new mellow attitude on life and teaching, everyone knows that it was really you that changed him for the better. You act as his metaphorical stabilizer and help him find a calmer medium rather than let him go into situations unhinged. Although you didn’t change his overall personality, you did help him work through his weaker aspects and reach an ideal form of himself.
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
Given the amount of major injuries he has sustained over the years, he knows that there are numerous other candidates that you would be better suited with. He doesn’t think of himself as conventionally attractive, but his usual excitability calms his insecurity.
You have been with him for years, so he knows that a person making you laugh at a stupid joke isn’t enough to steal you away from him. It still makes him nervous though. One can never know when love is involved.
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
In terms of kissing, Kettleburn's can only go one of four ways: short and sweet, slow and languid, fast and excited, or hard and passionate. Depending on the situation and where you are, the most common ones to get from him are either the slow and languid ones or the short and sweet ones. He usually doesn't have a lot of time during the school day, but when he does he stops by you and gifts you a short and sweet kiss on the nose, cheeks, then mouth. The younger kids find it kind of disgusting, but the older ones have come to think of it as oddly adorable. Once you two are alone though, he draws the kisses out to be longer and more love filled. Those times are definitely his favorite, and when the end he can't help but feel a little sad.
What can he say though? Your kisses are rather addicting.
L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
Unlike others, Silvanus knew you were the one for him almost immediately. Most people are put off by his passion and excitable personality, but not you. You were receptive to his interests and let him rant about anything and everything.
When trust was gained, he started to look towards you more when he had to make certain decisions. Your opinion and input means a lot to him, and he doesn’t want you to forget that.
It wouldn’t be until he saw you care for his magical creatures that he would realize his true feelings for you though. Besides other Magizoologists, he has never had a friend that acted so compassionate and unaffected by the various creatures he took an interest in. (Even Chimaeras) And he wasn’t gonna let someone like you slip through his fingers.
Which is why, when you were putting some Nifflers in their makeshift home to get some sleep, he pulled you into a fond hug and connected your lips.
M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
Marriage is a definite when it comes to Silvanus. After two to three years of being together, he decides that he wants to be there for you through thick and thin and seal the deal. To propose, he uses the aid of his magical creatures and some entertaining spells he learned just for the occasion.
The night he proposed to you, he took you to visit one of his favorite spots in the Scottish Highlands and set up one of your favorite dinners. After a night of aesthetic visuals, delicious food, and interactions with native magical creatures, he finally let the question slip. And only when you said yes did he finally break out in tears and laughter.
Being married to Kettleburn would not be too different from a regular relationship to be honest. The only difference is the joy he and you get when you’re able to say that you are each other’s husband/wife/etc.
N icknames - What do they call their s/o?
Out of all the names that Silvanus could call you, Sunshine, Dear, and Mo Leannan are his favorite. He loves to remind you of how happy you make him and if he can include a nickname into that then he is more than happy. Plus, he loves the look on your face when he calls you them. The blush that spreads across your checks brightens his day significantly.
O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Although Kettleburn seems to be on cloud nine almost 24/7, nothing could be farther than the truth. He is hit by boughs of depression, anxiety, insecurity, and irritation when faced with various different situations. Whenever he gets into those funks though, he just switches his attention onto both of you guys' love for eachother and immediately has his mood raised. When in love, Kettleburn makes it the most obvious thing in the world. Even after years of marriage you both act as though you're in your honeymoon stage of your relationship. Outside of class, he'll seek you out in order to just spend time together. More than enough times has he been spotted sitting in on your classes and, essentially, being your own personal teaching assistant. Not that it bothered you though; you got to spend more time with the love of your life and also got some help teaching your rowdy students. What could possibly be bad about that?
Given his profession, Silvanus expresses his love through physical affection as well with spoken affection. He doesn't want to make any action unclear when it comes to you knowing your worth to him. And if that means being as clear as possible with his actions, it's a price he's willing to pay.
P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
Yikes, where to start. Kettleburn is very upfront about his relationship with you, and will not shut up about it. You have been such a vital aspect in his life and to not hold you in such high praise makes him feel a tad guilty. After the first hundred times of him ranting about you though, many professors start to get annoyed. They think that his pure love for you is admirable, but they don’t need every conversation to be centered around that.
Silvanus has no qualms about showing his love for you in public. Although he doesn't wish to embarrass you, he can’t help but express his love for you. You’ve meant so much to him for so long, and if he mistreated that built trust he would be devastated.
Q uirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship
Silvanus is essentially an empath at this point, so understanding you and your feelings is fairly easy to him. Furthermore, he has a way of deflecting attention off of you when you feel pressured or self conscious, which helps you significantly. All the little things he does for you aids the bond you both have developed and maintained over the years. You've even developed most of those skills as well, given you aren't as skilled at them as he is. When it comes to being the ultimate sidekick though, Silvanus has always got your back.
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
In terms of being serious, Silvanus is not an expert. He can be undoubtedly romantic, but his actions are usually ones of excitement and passion. Which is something that you’ve come to enjoy over your years together. He is courteous, compassionate, and undeniably quirky. lmao Everything action he makes doesn’t get made without you in mind. To make you happy, he offers little trinkets he created for you, entertains you with stories from both of your pasts, sets aside time for both of you to enjoy, and lets you aid him with the care of his magical creatures.
S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
Given the fact that you’ve helped achieve so much in his field (in Hogwarts and the wizarding world), Silvanus has sworn to help you advance in yours in any way that he can. And, although he is not the best in (y/f/s), he offers you so much support it’s overwhelming. He has made a number of influential acquaintances over the years, so getting you help from better resources is somewhat easy. Needless to say, he is, and always be, your number one supporter.
T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
Although he can handle a routine, Silvanus adores spontaneity and spicing up your relationship. He loves the thrill of trying something new and getting out of his comfort zone; whether it be in the bedroom or in pda, he loves living for the moment. It isn’t something that he needs though. Anything that makes you uncomfortable instantly puts him off. He’s only willing to go as far as you want and can easily adapt to your wants and needs.
U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
Given how well Silvanus handles magical creatures, as well as the fact that he dedicates his life to understanding and helping them, it is fair to say that he is exceedingly empathic.
He knows almost all of your quirks and, given you’ve been married for over ten years, he has a great grasp of your unique routines. Whenever you need alone time or comfort, he immediately picks up on your vibe and handles the situation in the most appropriate manner.
As your relationship progresses, he makes an effort to leave you little gifts that he made or found throughout the day and always leaves you affectionate notes in places he knows you’ll look.
It honestly makes your heart melt and improves your day by ninety percent.
Much to his student’s surprise, he gives the same amount of energy and consideration to you as he does magical creatures. To him, you take first priority and anything he can do to express his love for you will be done in a heartbeat. While sickeningly sweet to the student body, most of the professors are getting tired of him ranting about you every time they engage in conversation with him. it’s so sweet to you though, to know that he cares
V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
Compared to his career, Hogwarts, and the animals he takes care of, you always end up being more important. He could trade everything he had and it still wouldn't be enough to reach your worth. He has never had someone that cares about him as much as you in his life besides his parents and he knows that if he doesn't cherish you he may never meet another person like that ever again. (Magical creatures can only help so much in situations like that you know?)
W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon
He has collections of photos he’s taken of you two over the years. Despite what people think, magical creatures aren’t his only passion; photography is as well. From the first kiss you shared to the most recent lesson he sat in on, he has the most randomest and dorky pictures of you. The one he cherishes the most though, is the album he constructed of you two’s wedding day. He has two copies of it: one in your shared quarters and one in his desk in his indoor classroom. Whenever he’s had a bad day, or gets a little more glum than usual, he’ll whip out the album and relive the one of the happiest days of his life.
X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
If Silvanus Kettleburn is known for one thing above all else, it’s his deep, passionate nature. Paired with his Hufflepuff loyalty, he turns into the most affectionate partner you've ever had.
Although you have restraint when it comes to showing too much physical affection in public, you two can still be found cuddling quite often near the Forbidden Forest with a few of the calmer Kneazles. On top of that, you too are barely found apart from each other when grading student's assignments or working on a new lesson plan for each other's classes.
When sitting in the Great Hall for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he is always found pulling out your chair and holding your hand in a loving grip. The love-sick puppy dog eyes he throws at you either makes the students gush or gag. Depending on the situation. lmao
During your off hours, you two either curl up in bed together, practice fun little charms you both created, read your respective literature choices, or indulge in a much-needed make-out session.
Y earning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?
Copes surprisingly well compared to others, honestly. Given the fact he has to give almost constant attention to his magical creatures, finding a distraction when you're away for longer than a couple days is pretty easy for him. When your stay away from him lasts a week or longer though, he usually starts conversations through your patronus' and continues them until you get back. It's pretty cute when you send messages at the same time though. Over the years, you guys' patronus' have become similar; and since he seemed to love you with a strong and passionate love, his patronus soon mimicked yours. When they met though, the two (y/p) would dance around each other and nuzzle their heads together. Overall, it expresses the love you two can't express when away from one another.
Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
In terms of the length he would go for the relationship, Silvanus would do anything to maintain you guys’ bond. Ever since you reciprocated his passion, he has been entirely devoted to you. as any Hufflepuff would And, although he loves you more than anything else in his life, he would be willing to give you up if that would make you happy. Because, if you really love someone, you have to be willing to let them leave and put their happiness first. Even if it means you aren’t able to have them anymore. He wouldn’t let you leave on a bad note though; you both have endured numerous difficult times together and have enjoyed an insurmountable number of good times. To put that all in the trash over such an unfortunate event would be pointless.
me thinking about someone holding me close to their chest/in their arms:
