-> herlock sholmes

c omfort - how would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

herlock may be a very overwhelming and loud person, but the second he needs to get serious he's dead serious. if you need comfort, he will provide the best comfort you could ever ask for.

sits and listens to your problems fully and only provides advice if you'd like. he's here to help if you want him, but he will also back off if you don't.

if you're having a panic attack or something similar, his attention is only on you. he'll remove you from the situation and take you somewhere quiet in hopes it helps calm you down.

he'll sit with you however long you need. the great detective's love always comes first.

k iss - are they a good kisser? what was the first kiss like?

when you first started dating he wasn't a bad kisser, he just needs some guidance. he definitely needed a bit of practice to fully get the hang of it.

so the first kiss is a bit sloppy, but nothing short of passionate and loving. there's definitely some teeth clashes but he puts his heart and soul into it and you can definitely tell.

once he gets better at it he is a master at making you weak at the knees just with kisses. they're always packed full of all of his love for you!

o n cloud nine - what are they like when they are in love? is it obvious for others? how do they express their feelings?

like a kid on candy. he's all giddy and happy all the damn time. he seems to perk up ten times more whenever you enter the room and his gaze is always fixated on you.

it is super obvious to everyone that he is in love with you. though, he doesn't really go out of his way to hide his emotions.

sholmes expresses his feelings with his actions. he isn't super flirty and his mannerisms definitely speak louder than his words.

he likes buying you gifts and attempting to make you dinner! anything that he knows will make you smile.

-> barok van zieks

c omfort - how would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

barok loves you dearly. however, he is emotionally constipated when it comes to giving comfort. he tries, but he often struggles to know what to do.

he tries to remember what his brother did for him when he got upset and do the same. he'll ask you to talk it out, but if not then he'll just sit with you and hold your hand until you feel better.

if you're having a panic attack or such he is even more unsure as to what to do. he'll most likely hold you close and try to talk you through it.

his comfort mostly comes in the form of him physically being there and ready to help you with whatever you ask of him.

k iss - are they a good kisser? what was the first kiss like?

somehow, yes. he has dated absolutely no one before you so it is kind of a surprise how well he is at it. he's a very soft and gentle kisser.

the first kiss was sweet! he let you lead it because he didn't really know what to do, but he's a quick learner. he does his best to just act on his instincts and let that lead him.

like sholmes, he learns over time and gets better with practice. he slowly becomes more comfortable with the gesture and starts initiating kisses more often.

o n cloud nine - what are they like when they are in love? is it obvious for others? how do they express their feelings?

if he is interested in you you are going to have no idea. he acts relatively the same around you as he does everyone else, only slightly softer.

lots of staring. he stares at you any opportunity he gets.

it won't be obvious at all. you might get a suspicion because he sometimes gets a bit blushy around you. but that is all. he really pushes his feelings deep down inside him and isn't very obvious about it.

[holmes-cringe-compilation]

Hello again, Junie! I adore your headcanons of Barok so I want to ask for more content with him! If you don't mind, could you write some headcanons about a scenario in which his s/o really wants to give him a hug but is too shy to ask or properly initiate one due to the moment not being right (but it's clear they need and want the affection)? Also, feel free to add other characters to the response if you have ideas!

a/n: hiya sev ! i don't feel all that confident with this one imo but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless. felt like i needed to post something and this req (along with others) have been collecting dust so...... enjoy !

barok with an s/o who wants to hug him but is too shy

this man is tall and has a bad case of resting bitch face, and it would be a natural response (albeit unfortunate) for people around him to quiver in fear and never ask for any help from him. though you know that there is more to this man than meets the eye.

today was a day that seemed to make you fume more than ever. you seemingly overcooked your breakfast, when going out to grab some groceries it started raining and you didn't bring an umbrella, and then when you tried to hop into an omnibus you had forgotten to leave some change to pay the driver so you were forced to rush home in the pouring rain.

barok wasn't home as he was at a trial, prosecuting a pickpocket apparently. you just wished that you could hop into his warm grasp and stay there. though you couldn't daydream anymore as you were in dire need of a shower.

afterwards, you had decided to change into your fluffiest if pyjamas, so what it was 2pm ? sometimes you need to indulge yourself and have a pj day. flopping onto the bed, you tried to get some sleep to ease the headache that was brewing inside your skull throughout the day.

it took you a while but you had managed to fall asleep into a light nap. an hour passed and you could hear an opening and closing of the front door downstairs. before you could even process the pain in your head, you bolted out of the room and to your beloved.

he looked miserable, but at least the rain subsided so he didn't come home drenched like you did. barok let a glimpse of a smile out, putting his gloved hand on your shoulder.

"i have to go do some paperwork now, my lamb. i'll be back to you shortly."

he trudged to his study, trying to hide how horrible he felt from you, but you knew. he had an aura to him that overwhelmed your senses upon meeting him at the door. do you go back to him ? you wanted to comfort him but was it the right time ? you didn't want to set him off.

an idea popped into your head. you decided to make some lunch for him. you made him his favourite light snack with the ingredients you had bought at the farmers market. though it wasn't as good as you would've liked it to be, you sighed and brought the plate to his study, knocking on the door and letting it creak open.

barok sat there, about to open his mouth but seeing the plate of his beloved snack made him feel warm on the inside.

"i-i'm sorry that this isn't as good as the last time i made it.... things just haven't been going in my favour today, hah." you looked down with your arms behind your back. barok nodded, taking a bite out of the food. in his eyes, no matter what, your cooking would be delicious to him.

standing up, barok hugged your frame, letting you sink into his warmth. he knew how much you both needed it. you sighed, melting. how is it that barok gives the best hugs ? he sits down and lets you sit on his lap, gently putting his arms around your waist and giving you a forehead kiss. the silence is comfortable.

"it still tastes unbelievable my dearest, you don't need to fret."

needless to say it takes him a long while to actually continue his paperwork with you on his lap.

[holmes-cringe-compilation]

Hi Luna, I really adore your writing! I get the feels and softness every time I read your scenarios!! If it's okay, may I ask for you to write about item 26 on the touches prompt list "kissing the top of their head" for Barok and/or Sholmes please? I'm glad you came back to writing because I wouldn't have found you otherwise! I hope your summer has been going well so far! c:

hello! i’m so happy that you like my writing, that’s a huge compliment and i appreciate it greatly!! i’m glad it gives you a soft feeling :D

my summer is going great- thank you for your support!

#26 - "kissing the top of their head"

-> herlock sholmes

herlock is an adamant head kisser. in his eyes, your forehead is the second best place to kiss you. the first, obviously, being your lips!

he loves it so much because the simple gesture can convey so many different emotions - pride, love, happiness, comfort - physically.

sometimes it's an absent minded thing. he sees you sitting on the couch and he plants a kiss on your head as he passes by. oftentimes, though, he does it on purpose. especially when he's leaving to investigate.

in reverse, he loves whenever you kiss his head! sholmes revels in your affection, so any acts will be sure to get a rise out of him.

on late nights he often lays his head in your lap in hopes that you'll give him a few kisses there. his face always lights up a faint pink color and a smile breaks out on his face afterwards.

-> barok van zieks

barok isn't one who is huge on affection mostly due to his lack of confidence in the subject. however, he finds chaste kisses to your head to be a simple, intimate gesture.

any time you come to visit him in his office he greets you with two kisses every time: one on the top of your head followed by one on your lips.

any kisses that you give him are sure to make him turn the brightest red that you've ever seen. kissing his head is naturally included in that.

he's quite tall, so you'll often have to ask him to lean down to plant your lips on his forehead. he will always comply because he cannot say no to you; even less so affection from you.

he always returns any head or forehead kisses you give him with one of your own.

// cw death of a pet mentions

hey guys ! i'm sorry for not posting a lot, i've been going through a lot of emotional stress. i've been witnessing my cat dying right in front of my eyes and i'm just devastated. he's on his last legs at the moment and i'm just so upset that he's not going to be here any longer. i probably won't be posting whole lot and i hope that you all can acknowledge that. i will make sure to post at least a crumb when i can but please don't get your hopes up. i'll be fine, i just need a hot second to get back on track.

thank you for understanding. i love you all <3

[holmes-cringe-compilation]

dgs characters + endearing traits they have -> can be read as platonic or romantic!

-> ryunosuke: never fails to make you smile. this man is unintentionally funny. sometimes he just says what he thinks and forgets to filter to himself. and he's hilarious! there aren't many times when you're around runo where you aren't busting up laughing because he's so funny and enjoyable to be around.

-> susato: very honest with you. sometimes honesty can be a bad thing, but with susato its always very appealing to hear her speak so freely and tell you exactly what she thinks. she's human, so there will be times where she lies and such, but she often finds that being honest with you makes for a healthier relationship.

-> kazuma: knows exactly what to say. somehow he can always articulate the exact right thing to say. whether it's some brutal honesty, him giving advice, or even comfort: it's always exactly what you need in that moment. if you ever need a second opinion on anything, kazuma is your best bet.

-> barok: amazing listener. no matter what you need to talk to him about he will always, always listen you out fully. it could be the littlest thing that you just need to get off of your chest but he will absolutely drop everything to just let you vent. will give advice if wanted, but otherwise he is the perfect person if you just need to talk.

-> herlock: remembers everything. sholmes plays dumb a lot. he plays an act like he doesn't know anything but he actually remembers a lot more than he leads on. he will remember obscure things you wants, random things you said months ago, or somewhere you said you wanted to go. he never forgets even the tiniest details about someone he cares about!

[holmes-cringe-compilation]

Hii! It’s great to see that you’re back! I’ve really enjoyed your writing for TGAA characters! Would it be ok to request Sholmes and Barok reacting to their S.O getting hurt and they blame it on themselves?(like Sholmes inventions/something during investigation hurts their s.o and someone hurts Barok’s s.o bc of their association with him?) sorry this is so long!

hiya franziska (love your name omg) ! thanks for the request ! this definitely made me feel a bit sad, but i got some sweets to munch on now to cheer me up lnvbdhehd.... sometimes these 30 something year olds can have an iron grip on your heart. i hope you enjoy !

content warning: includes some mentions of blood and cuts ! especially in barok's part ! also tgaa 2 spoilers in barok's part !

sherlock and barok's s/o gets hurt and blames themselves

sherlock

"pass me that screwdriver, love ?"

"oh yeah, here you go."

the day was spent indoors, you were helping sherlock with another invention of his by giving him the appropriate tools. the blonde was too stuck in his work to realise something.

sherlock had realised that his desk had become cluttered with tools, so naturally he had to get rid of some, giving some to you to mind for a while.

a soldering iron was being used, sherlock told that you should be careful around it and never poke at it without the proper knowledge on how to use it. you nodded and squinted at the thing he was soldering.

you leaned back in your chair, arm resting comfortably on the edge of sherlock's desk. you closed your eyes until you felt a sharp, burning sensation in your forearm. turns out sherlock had misplaced the soldering tool and placed it right beside your arm. hissing through your teeth, sherlock noticed and gasped.

"oh dear heavens ! i do apologise my dear.. here, let me-" the blonde whisked you to the sink in the kitchen, leaving you with your arm underneath the running tap for a second as he fished out the first aid kit.

"oh dear, i'm so sorry.. it's all my fault for not looking where i was putting it !" sherlock almost wailed, hearing your winces of pain as he treated you damn near brought him to tears. after he bandaged your arm, he grabbed you in a big hug, kissing your head and stroking your hair.

by now the pain had gone away a bit and became more easy to deal with. though you felt sherlock's gaze pierce through your skull. you might want to check on him... he might be worse than you.

this was the first time you got hurt by something he did, and it was the absolute worst. he never attempted to go back to his project for the rest of the day he was that worried.

"uhm... sherlock, are you alr-"

"it was all my fault ! i'm truly horrible, aren't i... you poor thing..." he sniffled and hugged you. he just spent the whole evening holding you. you on his lap, it definitely wasn't the worst thing that could happen. you smirked and cuddled into your lover.

hurting you by accident again might result in you being coddled, but in this case he's quick to wrap your injury in bandages and hold you then and there. he lets his evening go by more quieter than expected, but he definitely needed the break, and what other way to spend it with you ?

carefully looks over you if you're doing something that may result in injury. mr overprotective comes out even when you're cutting up produce for lunch as he hugs you from behind.

barok

if he saw you hurt because of him, he'd be so devastated. this man knows the dangers of being in a relationship all too well and has had nightmares about this sort of thing happening. he would absolutely hate it if his nightmare became reality.

barok would take extra care of you if you both were going home and it was quite dark. he's practically stuck to you like a magnet.

it was a particularly cold night in london, barok was taking you home as quick as he could. there was no available omnibuses or carriages so he had to settle on walking with you, secure to his waist with an iron grip, watching every direction like a hawk.

he always kept his rapier on him at all times, just in case he was caught up in an ambush. the sudden breeze made you shiver, barok instinctively hugging you closer to him for warmth. his guard was down and a gunshot rang through the streets, hitting a gas lamp and startling the two of you.

your breaths hitched, wriggling inside barok's grip as he turned around. he let you go, desperately wanting you to be safe and sound.

"run. get home safe," was all he said before more gunshots blasted in your eardrums. you were hesitant, but your flight response kicked in and you ran as far as you could. you didn't turn back but you could hear the sounds of a blade colliding with flesh and choked back a sob, you didn't want barok to die there!

as you were about to hide behind a corner, a bullet whizzed past you, slightly grazing your skin. it was enough to knock you down though, a scream echoing throughout the night. luckily, barok was almost done with the goons.

he eyeballed the one who shot at you and tightened his grip on the handle of his rapier. he ran to them, slashing them in the legs and grabbed their gun, aiming it at them before running back to you.

the blood was oozing through your fingers, you felt faint and gasped for air with tears streaming down your face. barok called your name and knelt down beside you, frantically looking everywhere on his person to try and find something that could block the bleeding. he untied his cravat and wrapped it around your wound, tight enough to soak up the blood.

"love, love listen to me. you'll be okay, you'll be okay." barok had tears now streaming from his face, a rare sight indeed. he never felt such strong emotions in god knows how long. he put his rapier back in its sheath and carried you, rushing to the nearest infirmary, all while he tried to calm you down, telling you that it would be okay and that you would get care immediately.

he'd stay with you until he had to part ways so that you could get the treatment you needed. but you can bet that he'll be there in the waiting room, pacing back and forth with immense guilt pulsating through his veins.

he's the first thing you see when you wake up, holding your hand with a smile on his face, another rarity...

he will buy you new books to pass the time during your stay, sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night to see him sitting beside you, slumped over to the side, book drooping in his grasp and a soft expression on his face. it's the cutest thing ever but if he were to know he would deny it to all hell.

luckily your stay at the infirmary was a short one and got to leave with barok by your side, still holding you close to his side. but this time, his fingers slightly grip into your waist a bit tighter than usual even though it was broad daylight. he would never want anything like that to happen again.

[holmes-cringe-compilation]

slight dgs spoilers - takes places pre-professor killings because i love the idea of sholmes meeting his s/o during that era

--

he's sitting on the sofa just watching, and that's your cue in that something's wrong.

you've only known the great detective for a short while at this point. after he met you on a case with mikotoba you were quickly roped into their.. antics, if you could call it that. although you couldn't deny that working cases with them was a pleasant past time.

but even in those short few months of working together you soon came to realize two things about the detective: he loves talking and he loves being the center of attention.

that's why the herlock sholmes just observing you talk to his partner is so odd. normally he would jump at any second to engage in the conversation about the current case your working on. however, he wasn't.

his form had been sat on the couch since the two of you had entered the room.

it wasn't only you that found it odd too- naturally he himself found it peculiar. of course he wanted to jump into the conversation and make himself known. of course he wants to have you roll your eyes and laugh as he makes some ridiculous deduction. of course he wants to.

he adores talking to you, yes. but he was slowly realizing that he enjoyed admiring you just a slight bit more.

Hello again! I finally got an idea for a request! Do you mind sharing your headcanons about Barok and Sholmes initiating a first kiss with their significant other please?

hi again, sev ! might have gone a bit overboard with barok's part because for some reason my brain is in barok mode rn........ i hope you enjoy !

sherlock

sherlock and barok sharing their first kiss with their s/o

i have a feeling that the kiss would be an on the spur of the moment thing that just happens. either that or sherlock busts his ass with trying to be smooth about it while grinding his teeth.

he is an expert on the art of hiding his worries though, coming up with excuses here and there, making sure you don't see how nervous he is.

i have this image in my head that i cannot get over. it starts with you and sherlock spending the day at 221b, sherlock tinkering with inventions while you stand behind him and watch. feeling mischievous, you decide to steal the wrench he put down to grab something on his bookshelf.

"love, have you seen my wrench anywhere ? swear i just put it down here a second ago.." he pats down his body to check, and to no luck either. you smirk, sherlock now knows something is up and chuckles, "oh i know you have it, darling. where are you hiding it, hm ?"

"you'll have to come and catch me first !" you pull the wrench out from your back and run, only to be chased by sherlock who's thoroughly enjoying himself as he catches you quicker than you imagined he would. you two wriggle on the couch, you struggling to get the wrench away from him, but it's no use. he takes it from you and you both are panting, laughing messes sandwiched together.

soft sighs are exchanged, sherlock realising he has something he needs to do and clears his throat. "can i kiss you, my dear ?" he pants, his face may look calm, albeit tired from the running, but you're pretty sure you can feel his heartbeat.

you nod and close your eyes, sherlock instantly moving forward and locking lips with you. his free hand worms his way into yours as you two intertwine fingers. sherlock's lips felt vacuum sealed to yours, never letting go until you both are dying for oxygen, leaving you two panting and blushing messes afterwards. you were ready for another round already.

barok

barok, without a doubt, would want his and your first kiss to be special. this dude brings out the whiteboard and markers and draws diagrams to figure out what to do and when.

it's a very silent process but you can see some small changes in barok's behaviour. he mostly acts more warm towards you, especially when he's cooped up with work. when you two spend quiet time together, he zones out while thinking about ways he should approach kissing you.

it definitely happens on a date rather, the end of the date. barok had found the most perfect restaurant in london and wanted you to experience it with him, all expenses paid by the man himself. what a gentleman.

he meets you at your door, absolutely stunned by your outfit if choice. he tries to stifle a blush behind but his cheeks turn pink and the corners of his mouth curl upwards. a kiss is placed to your knuckles and barok escorts you to the carriage.

it's a calm and comfy silent ride, you two only holding each other's hands while you sit and smile. cue barok escorting you into the restaurant. it's definitely posh alright, that's for sure. a waiter escorts you to your seats and offers you two some menus to look at.

barok pays for your food, thankful that you enjoyed it as much as he did. you two head back for another carriage ride home, this time half asleep and stuffed with food.

"ah, this is my stop," you lean up and stretch your weary bones, "let me walk you to your door. i would like to ask you something in private anyways." barok opens the door for you and let's you out, closing the door behind him. the cold night air nips at him, a shiver running down his spine.

"what did you want to talk about, barok ?" you look up at the man currently stepping a bit closer to you. he sharply breathes in, then exhales. you can see the cold air leave his mouth.

"i just.. ahem..." barok leans down and lets your lips softly melt to one another's. it's not a shocking kiss, actually it's quite warm, a toasty glow warming you up on the inside. your arms snake up his shoulders as his hold onto your waist gently. it's a kiss of comfortable length, not too long or too short, just right.

after the kiss ended the two of you are the most coy people ever, chuckling and fidgeting while buzzing with happiness.
