Hey hope u r doing well.

Ngl this is the first time I send a request but anyway I was thinking about if you could write Jesse Faden fluffy headcanon, it could be up to ur imagination <3. That’s it thank you

summary: most people know jesse faden to be the indomitable director of the fbc. you know her as your weird, nerdy girlfriend lowkey obsessed with cryptids and the paranormal. au (?) set after the hiss breakout cw: none! just fluff! a/n: hello anon! i love that there's others who want x readers with jesse! you've gotten me tempted to make some now. i hope you like these!

First thing's first, Jesse is an honorary loser. She doesn't look it, but deep down she's a bit pathetic

Especially for you

Sure she has a reputation to uphold, what with semi unwillingly thrown into a role of authority in a secret government organisation designed specifically to contain and research odd phenomenon in the world, but chip away at those layers of hers and you'll find out she's quite the character

Your work in the Dead Letters Archive of the Executive Sector meant that you worked in close proximity to Jesse and you naturally would run into each other during what Jesse would call her "Director Patrols" after the Hiss. As Jesse's confidence in her new role grew, so did her willingness to socialise with the people she'd be working with, and you both got on surprisingly quickly.

Jesse as a girlfriend is pretty attentive. She always makes sure to bring you coffee in the morning and check up on you a bit more often than the other employees of the FBC

The absolute queen of dad jokes and lame humour

Remember the joke about the toilets in the Foundation dlc??? Now imagine that 24/7

Lowkey a loser. Prepare to be called into her office just because she's bored and misses you

and wants to pin you to her desk and kiss you silly

There are times when she can keep herself composed enough to act normally around you, like she does with everyone else

And other times where it's very obvious you're a favourite

Emily Pope has a secret tally board called "Days Without Jesse Fumbling"

It never goes to the double digits

Your lunch breaks consist of sitting on Jesse's desk with her as she tries to convince you that Area 51 is somewhere in the Oldest House, she just hasn't found it yet

"Just you wait, I'll find it one day"

Also the most random theoretical questions

"Do you think Bigfoot would want a job here?"

"Do you think we should install a giant pool in case we need to contain the loch ness monster?"

"I wonder if aliens have been in the House already..."

On off days you're most likely finding her with her nose in a book or on some conspiracy forum hidden in the dead internet somewhere

Her obsession is cute. Slightly

She once kept you up for three hours talking about how likely it is that the Roswell Incident was an A.W.E and how the pyramids are actually objects of power

You had to kiss her to shut her up so you could finally roll over and go to sleep

That's a well-proven method to reset her brain when she goes off on a tangent

It's a solid 95% that most if not all books in her book cases are about conspiracies, mysteries, or cryptids and everything in between and she will tell you about every single one of them

You once spent an entire lunch break with Jesse rambling on about if a ghost was in the Oldest House and how would it be found out by brilliant minds within the paranormal.

Her lunch went untouched

[ROTTR/SOTTR] Lara Croft x Female Reader - "Mutual"

[Requested by anonymous: "Hi, I would like to ask for a headcanon in which Y/N and Lara have been friends since they were teenagers and as they grow up Lara feels a secret crush on her best friend but doesn't know how to tell her, because she thinks Y/N doesn't feel the same."]

Summary: Lara's known you all her life, and you've always been there for her through thick and thin. It was only a matter of time before she ended up falling for you.

Word Count: 2k Content + Warnings: Brief mentions of jealousy + yearning

- - - - [Masterlist] - - - -

[A/N]: So sorry this took so long, hun! I was overwhelmed with a whole bunch of requests between my own personal stories, so it took me a while to see your message. I hope this matches what you were hoping for.

Enjoy!

You met Lara when you were both teenagers

You had both been sent to the same boarding school, and although neither of you liked being there, you still managed to hit it off

You were one of the very few people at the boarding school she could tolerate, and eventually you became the only one she actually enjoyed being around

More often than not, she’d end up sneaking out of her room and into yours

After a while of this, combined with realizing she wasn’t entirely worried about getting caught beyond small punishments, the head of the school decided the two of you would share a room from then on so she’d stop causing issues at night

This helped the two of you grow even closer, which Lara was incredibly thankful for

Studies and grades were never really an issue for her, but she was more than willing to help you with whatever you needed to work on

Even if it wasn’t something she was studying herself, she would still figure it out so quickly and immediately find an easier way for you to understand it

She’s the main reason you ended up getting good grades

If it weren’t for her offering to reteach the subjects you didn’t understand (since the teachers often refused to elaborate any further, even after lessons), you likely wouldn’t have graduated on time

Instead, you both finally completed primary and secondary school without much issue

When high school rolled around, you both managed to find your own ways to leave the boarding school, and you ultimately ended up in the same high school, much to your relief

Before the events of the game, I can see Lara actually getting along relatively well with others. She didn’t actively seek out new friendships, since she prefers to be alone most of the time, but she wasn’t one to shy away or cause problems

Still, even with the occasional friend she would make, you were the only one she actually preferred spending her time with

You understood that she would hardly talk during most hangouts – unless she found a new study that caught her interest – so she didn’t feel pressured to constantly hold a conversation

It was nice to just be able to read in silence while you were there with her

Your presence was comforting, one of the only sense of familiarity and stability that she had anymore, and she found herself wanting to be around you more often

It was surprising to her

Having other people around, especially when she wanted to focus on one of her studies or touch up on some of her skills, always brought her constant annoyance

It was the main reason she spent most of her time alone

You, however, quickly became the exception

Even after meeting Sam when you both made it into college, Lara still preferred to spend the majority of her time with you

There were a handful of times where you and Sam would both come over, though those became more and more rare after she started to feel a sense of what she could only describe as jealousy

She knew Sam would never hurt her – same with you – but it always pained her to see you and Sam getting along so well

A lot of the time, Lara wondered if you preferred Sam over her

Whenever your attention would only be focused on Sam, she wanted to say or do something just to get your eyes back on her

Anytime you’d ask if Sam wanted to join in, Lara would lie and say that Sam was busy with something else

Of course, she couldn’t always fall back on this lie

It had to be believable, and she didn’t want you growing suspicious of her wanting to deliberately leave one of her best friends out

So, unfortunately, there were times where she had to invite Sam over anyway, just so you didn’t see through her lie

And this continued for a long, long time

She wasn’t even entirely sure why she wanted to be alone with you so much

It wasn’t until after visiting Yamatai that she finally began to piece everything together

Nearly losing Sam hit her hard enough, and it started to make her think of what she’d lose if she nearly lost you, too

Nightmares became common, and you’d usually find her awake at the oddest hours of the night

Your presence helped her sleep through them sometimes, mainly because a lot of them revolved around different ways she could lose you, but more often than not, she would give up on trying to get enough sleep

The thought of losing you felt so much heavier than the thought of losing Sam, though she didn’t understand why

Months passed, and after talking with Jonah about it a few times, she realized something

She had fallen for you

That’s why it stressed her out so much more – you were everything to her, and you had been for a long time

Reflecting on her childhood with you made her realize that she’d actually had these feelings for a long time, they’d just grown stronger over the years

She began to wonder if you felt the same, and her mind starting filling itself with different fantasies of sharing a life with you

So desperately, she wanted to tell you how she felt

But she was terrified that sharing her feelings would only drive you away

She’d already lost her family a long time ago

If she had any shot of building a family with you, that meant there also stood a chance that she could lose you, too

A year passed where she was helplessly yearning for you

She could often be seen staring at you, and if you weren’t in the room, she would almost constantly talk about you to whoever would listen

Jonah would tease her about it occasionally, even though she always shrugged it off, but he finally decided to sit her down one night for a talk

“Alright, little bird, what’s on your mind?”

She blinked, her brows furrowing

“What’re you talking about?”

“You know what I’m talking about. You know who I’m talking about, too.”

She instantly turned away, crossing her arms over her chest and shaking her head

“No, I don’t.”

He chuckled, bringing her attention back to him

Her features softened

There was no animosity in his tone when he spoke again, no sense of judgement or mockery found

“You love her, Lara. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, anyone can see it. I just don’t understand why you can’t tell her.”

Her eyes lowered, body leaning forward until her elbows rested on her legs

A small, shaky sigh slipped through her lips while she shook her head

“Because I know she doesn’t feel the same way about me, Jonah.”

“How are you so sure about that?”

She opened her mouth, then closed it, then repeated the motion a few times

There were so many words on the tip of her tongue, but none of them would form

Her voice wouldn’t let her express her worries, it never did

At length, she sighed again, this time much louder

“She just doesn’t. I don’t know how to explain it, but I just know she doesn’t.”

“I still think you should give it a shot. I think you’ll like her answer more than you think.”

Even though she denied the suggestion, she still found herself leaning more towards following his advice day by day

It was getting to the point where she couldn’t go a single day without thinking about how you’d react if she confessed to you

She couldn’t take it anymore after seeing someone random flirting with you when you were both out at a cafe

She didn’t step in, knowing you would handle yourself just fine, but you could tell she was more upset about it than you were

The entire drive back to her place, she was practically pouting, her eyebrows pinched together and her lips pulled back into a small sneer

You finally asked her what was wrong once you were halfway there

She turned to you, simply staring for a second

After a moment of saying nothing, she sighed

“I guess now is a good time.”

“Huh?”

She turned to you, her eyes now softening

She went on to explain how irritated she got when the random person at the cafe kept flirting with you, followed by how she has something she needs to finally get off of her chest

When you pried further, you saw her face glow red for the very first time

“I think… I think I’m in love with you,” she blurted, keeping her eyes on the floor of the car

You froze at her confession, quickly growing equally as shy

“Oh. That’s, uh, not what I was expecting you to say at all.”

She turned away again, scoffing

“Just tell me you don’t feel the same so I can get on with everything.”

“But I do feel the same.”

You watched as she stayed in place for a second

She was still facing away from you, but you didn’t fail to catch how her eyes widened a fraction and her brows lifted

Slowly, she turned to face you again

“You do?”

“Of course I do.”

“And you’re not just saying this to make me feel better?”

You laughed quietly, shaking your head and letting your hand fall on her arm

“No, of course not. I really mean it, Lara. I’ve had feelings for you for a long time, actually, but I figured you wouldn’t feel the same, so I just kept it to myself.”

She couldn’t remember the last time she felt so relieved to hear something

Her lips curved up into a smile and she lowered her head, now uncharacteristically sheepish

“Oh. I didn’t know.”

“Neither did I.”

The rest of the ride was silent, but it was comfortable

It felt incredible finally getting her feelings out, even if the confession didn’t go the way she wanted

After making it back, she was quick to step out of the car and walk to the other side, pulling your car door open and helping you get out as well

The two of you headed to her room, where you sat on the bed while she moved to her desk

It was awkward trying to think of what to say, but she finally asked the question that had been burning in her mind for years

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

If it was even possible, her eyes lit up even more when you said yes

After finally calming down from everything that had happened, you opened up about how long you had been feeling the same way about Lara

Her heart hammered against her ribs with every little admission to how much you’d been wanting to take things a step further, and she eventually found herself sitting next to you on the mattress

Slowly, she took your hand in hers

“I’m not the best at this stuff. I mean, I’ve never been with anyone before, so I can’t guarantee that I’ll be exactly what you need, but I can promise you that I’ll try. I want to make this work.”

You grinned at her then, your smile mirroring hers, and you shifted your hand a bit to squeeze hers reassuringly

“I want this to work, too. I know things won’t always be perfect, but if you’re willing to give this a chance, then I am, too.”

She hummed, nodding

“But,” you added a moment later, “could you promise me something?”

She nodded again

“Of course. Anything at all.”

“Promise me that, even if things don’t work out the way we want them to, you won’t ever leave?”

That familiar shimmer glistened in her eyes again, one that you adored so much

Her hand returned the action from before, squeezing your palm softly against her own

“I promise. I’ve waited so long to be with you. I’m not going anywhere.”
