Headcanon ficathon!

[reikah]

Well, it's been a while since the Olympics, so I thought I'd throw this here as a fun community event (don't worry, this isn't the summer challenge/contest, I'm still ironing that out).

Welcome to the Kurofai headcanon meme!

What is a headcanon? A headcanon, for those of you not familiar with the terminology, is "An idea, belief, or aspect of a story that is not mentioned in the media itself, but is accepted by either the reader themselves or the fandom in general. If it is confirmed by the author of the story, it becomes canon." (Thanks, urban dictionary!) Examples might include 'Fai has terrible metabolism, his feet get very cold' or 'one of Mokona's 108 techniques is Vibrate Mode' or anything else you feel is true but never confirmed in the text. Not all headcanons are worksafe.

How it works:

You leave a comment with one of your Kurofai headcanons. You can do so signed into a dreamwidth account or anonymously, for those of you without dreamwidth accounts/with embarrassing headcanons.

Someone else will write a short story based around your headcanon, and post it as a reply to you.

In short, it works a lot like clampkink - but for headcanons rather than kinks!

Anonymous commenting is enabled, but you do not need to post headcanons/stories anonymously if you don't want to. I'm also going to go ahead and label this post NOT WORKSAFE preemptively, so please be careful browsing where your computer access is monitored! Stories can be as long and short as you like, and as SFW/NSFW as you feel like, or, if you prefer, you can fill with fanart instead - both are excellent. For our rules on threesomes or moresomes, check the comm rules in our profiles.

That's all the nitty-gritty out of the way - now let's go ahead and share some headcanons!

Unfilled Headcanons
Kurogane's father trained him the way Kurogane trained Syaoran.
Kurogane had a case of performance anxiety before he and Fai had sex the first time.
Kurogane is a virgin. Fay is not.

Fai starts to experience some of Sakura's memories after C!Syaoran stores her feathers in his eye.
Fai and Yuui were born on a national holiday; this is considered an ill omen for Valeria
Kurogane accidentally kills his father during the fall of Suwa
Kurogane & Fai resettle Suwa post-series, and Kurogane grows his hair out like his father
Kurogane has a well-worn notebook filled with terrible poetry. Fai enjoys flipping through the pages and trying to guess which world each was written in.
Holitsuba - Kurogane and Fai keep tracking of whose on top with different coloured condoms. Fai steals Kurogane's in order to top more.
Fai slept around in Ceres (with men and women), but Kurogane is his first steady significant other.
Holitsuba!Kurogane hums to himself when he's in a good mood.
Fai is a creature composed out of magic, rather than human.
Kurogane's conscience sounds A LOT like Tomoyo.
Kurogane was devastated by Fai's 'good morning, Kurogane'.
Post-Clow arc: When Sakura and Syaoran went into the tube o'doom, they left their bodies as empty shells on the floor. Touya found them, and moved them into a long-term care wing at a hospital; waiting for their souls to come home again.
Fai is musically gifted, and every song he plays represents a specific memory/event from his life. Kurogane comes to realize this without Fai knowing it.
Kurogane is the worst boyfriend ever.
The other dimensional versions of Chi, Hideki and the twins live happily.
Fai was a virgin until he met Kurogane because Ashura-ou had some non-fatherly feelings towards him and though he couldn't openly have Fai he could stop others from even thinking of approaching Fai, and none dared to oppose the king.
Fai is uncomfortable with the Japanese way of bathing where everyone just strips naked and soak together.
Fai knew that he would live much longer than Kurogane and while traveling with Tsubasa!Shaoran has been trying to find a way for Kurogane and him to share the same lifespan.
Kurogane is loud in bed.
Kurogane and Fai shared a tent in Yama; Fai felt dirty after being assaulted by soldiers and begged Kurogane to clean him. They had sex regularly after that.

Because fluff is good for the soul - Kurogane is secretly an absolute SAP. He never so much as tries to express it openly because he a) knows that he'd be terrible at it and b) is easily embarrassed by his own feelings, but internally he is schmoopily, dreamily, outright disgustingly in love with Fai.

[reikah]

I AM ON THIS LIKE YUUKO ON SAKE

[zelinxia]

I WILL DO A SECOND FILL :DDDDDDDDDDD

[zelinxia]

So I don't know if this satisfies, because I never feel like I can write Kuro-sap the way I see him in my head. I tried!

(Sometimes, remembering his parents isn’t as painful. He smiles to himself at the memory of his father gushing about his mother, with no shame or wound to his pride, in front of his men; and the way his mother laughs softly, blushes forming on her delicate cheeks.)

“Kuro-sama is still grumpy, but he’s really wonderful and grows on you~” Fai singsongs to Tomoyo over afternoon tea. They’re relaxing at the Piffle Princess’s president’s loft, hoping that Mokona’s earring will let them stay until Kurogane’s new arm is ready.

“S-shut up, mage,” he splutters just as he sips, spilling some hot tea over his pants and cursing over the stinging pain. Meanwhile he blushes furiously, like he always does when someone compliments him – and he knows they can see him being ridiculously mortified because he hears them laughing, Fai’s sounding sweet and melodious.

(And the laughing doesn’t help. It intensifies his blushing even more because it’s a real laugh and he knows Fai is happy and it makes his heart leap in his throat and goddamn it he really is an idiot like Fai, too, but the good kind of idiot; and oh he knows he’d do the same for the mage, too, compliment and even gush about him, if he could without fumbling over his bashful awkwardness. Because there’s so many things he could say, and things he couldn’t say properly with just words of the things he loves about Fai.)

Later when they are left alone in their company Fai tsk tsks over Kurogane’s clumsiness (‘you try maintaining dignity with only one arm!’), poking and prodding the place he stained and burned himself with scalding tea. Nimble fingers then go from examining to rubbing, and soon enough he’s groping his inner thigh. Blue, bright blue bedroom eyes filled with lust meet his and he gulps. He cracks a seductive grin and it’s enough for Kurogane to lose it.

Unbeknownst to most people in the public (except for Syaoran and Mokona, who knows how easily Fai can affect Kurogane’s emotions – both negative but on the flip side especially affectionate ones), Fai dominates the bedroom. Kurogane not only explicitly permits it – he enjoys and adores this side of Fai, the one that greedily lusts for him, openly expressing his want and need and love as much as Kurogane shows it through his gestures and actions; his open vulnerability and trust and intimacy he wants to share with him.

Sometimes, if not most of the time, words are better left unspoken, the gestures he makes and the little things he does to express his love and adoration for this beautiful, fragile but so strong man, worthy-than-he-could-ever-explain of his steeled, reserved heart. The way Kurogane smiles into their kisses; the way he folds back Fai’s hair and kisses his forehead, over the scars that linger on his left eye. The way he holds onto him with his sole arm, the way he moans (and begrudgingly admits, screams), betraying ‘I want you, need you, love you so much you have no fucking idea you idiot’. The way he always still is holding onto Fai when he wakes up from their deep slumber, and kisses the temples to wake Fai up.

(Because in the end the thing he loves most about Fai is Fai.)

Kuro-sama's a screamer OMG I nearly died when I got to that line XD

Ahhh, the sappiness is perfect and Kurogane clearly has nothing but marshmallow fluff inside his heart. Xia, this is great.

[cloverfield]

:DDDDDD Xia, you never fail to put a big smile on my face. It's a little wobbly at the moment, true, because I've just read Faren's fill (oh gawd WHY DO YOU HURT SO BADLY) but this was the perfect salve for my broken heart. Bless you! ♥

[ereshkigali]
