Carmivy headcanons I have rattling around my head like a skittle in a box

(I'm talking more about the 90's version but it's up to anyone's interpretation)

Their primary form of intimacy is touch so cue back hugs, slow dancing, and hand holds galore.

This also includes bathing eachother (/ns)

Carm loves 80's music that much is canon BUT spanish music especially old school boléros hold a special place in her heart

Trio los panchos, la lupe, chavela vargas, eydie gorme, and celia cruz are some of her favorite artists

They are bound to be playing in the background often and Carm will put it on as shes cooking

This leads to some nice slow dances as the food cooks

Carmen often sings along (belts but no one would believe you) or hums

Ives does too but she'd rather hum because she has a terrible accent and cannot pronounce spanish words

They are very romantic and love doing things spontaneously so expect random gifts and dates

One particular date is a late night picnic date on the beach that was probably planned by Ivy and is complete with rose petals leading to a candle lit cabana filled with pillows and a tub of champagne and/or wine with soft mood music playing in the background

Carmen steals things and gifts them to Ivy often. Ivy pretends she hates that carmen is stealing and for her but in reality, she cherishes every single item

Ivy thinks shes a good actress and plays it off but Carm knows she loves them anyway

They travel often just to do it. Ivy didnt get to see the sights chasing Carm down and Carm happily obliges

Totally the Mob boss/ Police comissioner Au

Or even the rich gay aunts archetype

Ivy takes up woodworking and builds most if not all of their furnature

They didn't start dating right away OR they were on and off for a while before retiring together entirely

I imagine it may have started off in a night of passion (cOUgH cOUGh *one night stand mayhaps?* ) a few years after Ivy retired from ACME BUT I love the idea my fave fic presented where Carm knows she wants to persue a relationship and that Ivy wants something as well but cant bc of her moral code (brain v heart kind of thing)*

They dont have a formal wedding if they decide to get married at all. It's off the books with the promise of being together with their own paper rings rather than a big ceremony. At least not in the beginning

Think of the marriage in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Zack was kinda mad he wasn't invited but he is happy for them either way

Now lets say they do want an official wedding ceremony- they have a small event (under fake names ofc) but its way down the line after their own little elopement.

Zack gets to be the "bride's best man"

 I dont see them with kids but I can imagine if they did they would have maybe 3 they've adopted however it's by the time both of them are retired

Ivy's last name is o'connor. I chose it bc I hc Ives as irish and o'connor means patron of warriors which I think fits her

Retired carmen becomes a novelist under the pseudonym Isabela o'conner OR Isabela Flynn bc its her brand (flynn, irish surname bc of ivy, meaning bright red) and donates to various charities including one for orphans

They fund a museum

They have a few houses but their favorite is the beach side house in Venice

Ivy goes back to school. Yes, she prefers boots on the ground field work but I think she would enjoy a distraction from the mundane. She hates the class work- she was always the muscle unlike zack- but shes not stupid and wants to try something new

They have a black cat named carmine or sappho and a mastiff laconian named Peritas after Alexander the great's very own. Carm loves cats and has one named carmine in canon so it's only right plus I see Ivy as a dog person

They are the type to do something extravagant and celebrate the little things. They have many small celebrations for the randomest and most sentimental reasons

Zack finds out they were dating first and hid it extremely well (to Ivy's shock). Everyone finds out because Ivy acts like the lovestruck fool she is

Zack finds out immediately through one wiley joke Ivy blushed hard at and refused ardently. He doesn't let her live it down

Every year carm insists on sending holiday/birthday cards to the people they know. Ivy has no idea why but she does it anyway

*The fic I'm talking about is "The Art of Doubt" on ao3, I highly recommend it.
