Alrighty friends, have any of you watched the Magicians? It's in my top 3 favorite shows, and I haven't watched it in forever. I'm reaaaallly enjoying my rewatch. I'm noticing so much more than I had last time I watched, how deep the characters are. Also how much I adore Quentin Coldwater 😍

Have I told you that I hate, like really, really hate episodes without Carisi?

[polkadotpenguin16]

i know it's big and veiny...

[polkadotpenguin16]

The longer hair, YES. I miss it dearly. I just wanna run my fingers through it 🥺

Greasy Carisi's stache is definitely a vibe, but imma have to pass on it. That can stay in season 15 lol

I wish he kept this look for longer.. he’s so handsome now but I miss the longer hair and moustache

Awwwww these are lovely 😍 I love me some sweet HCs. Wonderful job, OP!!

would love to see some carisi/reader headcanons!

Hello there!

Thank you for the request, I am more than happy to dedicate my first headcanon list to our beloved Carisi <3

I want to try and come up with my own prompts, though I might follow an existing list in the future. For now, how about some pre-relationship stuff?

Carisi/Reader headcanons (Pre-relationship)

Warnings: Just fluff.

Acknowledging his feelings for you

- Sonny would have come to the conclusion that pining after Amanda Rollins for so long would lead to nothing, so as much as he knew he couldn't just stop his feelings for her, he'd try to stop feeding the fantasy. Of course, he'd still be the kind soul he was raised to be, helping her out and having friendly encounters. And with a lot of effort to keep things in control, realizing his heart didn't drum frenetically at her sight anymore, he'd mentally congratulate himself for finally being able to move on and not act like a schoolboy with a crush.

- And as soon as he was convinced he would just be working on himself for the foreseeable future, taking a break from romantic feelings, the universe decided to throw you in his life. (Yes, throw you, because whether you were a new face or an old acquaintance, his heart suddenly acknowledged you in a way that was devastating).

- He definitely tried to shake the feeling away, he didn't want to pine forever again. The thought made him wince. But try as he might, it wasn't a passing fancy.

How it builds up

- Sonny learned his lesson: Admiring and waiting won't do, so he'll test the waters first.

- He'll try his Carisi charm to see how you'll react, from the general gentleman acts like opening doors to more personal, considerate actions, like paying attention to what you like to eat and filling the information in his mind so he can bring it to you to cheer you up.

- You like a drink/snack in an oddly specific way? Hell, he will write it down to make sure it's right and bring it to you. If he notices you sort M&M's just so you can have the ones in your favorite color, that man is buying way too many packets just so he can sort them himself to fill one with only the color you like.

- If those gestures are well received, he will try to spend more time with you, brain working for any excuse to do so. And at some point, when there isn't a good excuse, he just outright says he wants to spend time with you, which makes your interactions smoother, less tense.

- Hanging out becomes more frequent, and with that comes the small touches. Fingers brushing against each other as he hands you a condiment when you're grabbing a bite together, you fixing his tie because it's crooked and it bothers you, him gently nudging your side at a smartass comment, you leaning against him when you're watching sloppy TV shows.

How he flirts

- He just keeps the gentlemanly acts but brings on more compliments, let it be about how you look lovely or praising something you're working on (hobby; job related; simple task...).

How he reacts to being flirted with

- If you mirror his little mannerisms, he'll be all smiles. He loves that he's receiving the same gentle, caring treatment he shows you.

- If you blantly flirt with him, he'll be surprised. Joke flirting? Yeah, he can take it, he'll feel flattered but will just laugh or joke back. Now, if you do so with an innuendo, accompanied by a smug little grin, he'll melt. Sonny will choke on nothing for a brief moment and his face will go as red as a tomato.

How he confesses

- Sonny will approach the subject in a mindful scenario: While hanging out at your home during one of your TV marathons. (A familiar place, with no pressure and you can kick him out if he's crossing a boundary and you realize you hate him now!)

- He is sheepish about it, his tone small but earnest. He chooses his words with caution, even stutters here and there, but the admiration in his tone is undeniable as he goes on and on about how amazing you are.

If you confess first

- Sonny is definitely happy about it, but he is more surprised than anything. Maybe if he hadn't been worrying about not messing this up and actually making a move, he would've looked closer at your interactions and realized the feeling was definitely mutual. In any case, you had to snap your fingers in front of him to bring him back to Earth and out of that shocked state.

First kiss

- Of course, it happens right after the confession. Sonny will ask for your permission before doing so. His lips are soft and gentle against yours.

First kiss²

- If you ask to kiss him, he'll reply with a barely audible "yes". You can feel his giddy smile all the time your lips are connected.

- If you just flick your gaze to his lips and suddenly lean in for a kiss, you'll be met with a surprised gasp, which will soon be replaced by a delighted "hmm" as he kiss you back, fighting for his life not to turn into a puddle since the bold move was an absolute turn on.

5 times Sonny tried to propose

Sonny Carisi knew he wanted to marry you within a month of knowing you. Your first date was adorably perfect, ending with the most tender of kisses, a week full of texting and midnight phone calls before your next one, your schedules were a little wonky due to his detective work and your work as a nurse.

The first time you meet the Carisi clan he’s smitten, he knows, his Dad knows, his sisters are already teasing him about ring shopping and his Mom’s already asking when she’s going to get some more grandkids

The first time he tries to propose, he’s cooked your favourite, most elaborate dinner for the two you, there’s candles on the table, a soft jazz playlist playing through the apartment, a trail of rose petals leading down to the bedroom, a heart made out of them on the bed. He’s got the biggest speech all planned out and ready to go, though he’s nervous as FUCK about it. He’s nervously pacing back and fourth through the kitchen, knowing that you’re about to come through the door any minute. He jumps a half a foot when his phone goes off, you’re on the other end, apologizing, saying you’re going to miss dinner, a mass casualty came in and it’s all hands on deck at the hospital. It’s not long after that his phone goes off again, Liv calling the squad in to help out on the law side of things. He leaves dinner in the oven (turned off of course) and scrambles to get rid of all the rose petals. He ends up sleeping at the precinct that night. When you finally collapse into bed you find a solo petal half shoved under the pillow and are confused, but toss it aside and completely forget.

The second time he tried was Christmas. He kept glaring at Bella for constantly dropping hints, asking you about wedding dresses, venues, what your dream ceremony would be like, she even had you on Pinterest oo-ing and aweing over things, but you figured she just wanted your opinion on her own upcoming nuptials. Finally, you had a moment to escape, a moment to yourselves as everyone gathered in the living room for presents and christmas movies. Sonny pulled you out onto the back porch where the snow was gently falling and everything seemed perfect. You were wrapped in his arms, nuzzling deeper into him, murmuring how much you loved him, wishing every moment could be like this. He kissed you softly on the head, cupping your cheek as he starts to pour his heart out to you, how much he adores you and loves every second he gets to spend with you. His free hand is in his pocket, toying with the ring box, his heart thundering in his chest about to bend down on one knee when a very loud “UNCLE SONNY” breaks the moment when one of his nieces comes racing outside, he thinks he can manage to save it, nodding enthusiastically about how cool her toy is….but then she goes a little green from too much candy and pukes all over his shoes. He knows then any kind of proposal is off the table for tonight.

The third time Sonny manages to actually get Valentine’s Day off work, he’s elated when you’re 100% off guaranteed no call ins and books a reservation at the expensive, romantic Italian restaurant you shared your first date at. You’re so smitten in love with each other and look just like the rest of the love sick couples in the joint as you share appetizers and sip at pricy wine. An eruption of squeals and small applause disrupts your evening, glancing across the restaurant, you witness a couple with the man down on his knee and the girl in tears. First Sonny huff’s in annoyance at the idea of a proposal being in your head now, he then pales at the way you scoff, rolling your eyes and mentioning how cringe worthy it is when people propose on valentines. You joke that you’re so happy he knows you better and would never do such a thing, kissing his cheek softly. He’s more glad than ever in that moment that the ring was waiting at home and he hadn’t been dumb enough to have a waiter put it in the dessert or anything.

Sonny’s basically given up at this point, every time he tries to put any amount of effort in, it gets thwarted. Even regular date night at this point seem to get ruined by work, but you’re happier than ever just to return to your shared apartment and get to snuggle up with him at the end of the day and know that he loves you. It’s a warm spring day, you let him sleep in a bit while you made a simple breakfast, the smell of coffee and the fresh air flowing through the apartment rousing him from his sleep.

You kiss him on the cheek, murmuring out a good morning and an I love you, sliding him his coffee, served perfectly how he likes it and he smiles at the utter domesticity of the entire thing, watching you plate up fruity pancakes and bacon. While he’s practically scarfing down the food he can feel your eyes on him, pausing to glance up, asking you what.

In truth, you can’t help but stare at him, the sun’s streaking through the room, highlighting the silvery of his hair that you love so much, making those baby blue eyes shine brighter than ever. And in that moment you can’t think of anything but the love you hold for your boyfriend.

“Nothin.” You reply, taking a small sip of coffee, “just thinkin’ about how much I wanna marry you. Feels kinda lame to say it here…and untraditional…I don’t have a ring or anything, but if you’d marry me, I’d be the happiest woman in the world.”

Sonny just about breaks his face with how big he’s smiling, stumbling off the kitchen stool, and your instantly confused, calling after him as he races down the hall, you’re worried you’ve freaked him out, or he ate too much too fast. You’re pleasantly surprised when he returns with a small box, saying he wants nothing more than to be your husband.

The day ends in happy tears, a lot of laughter, sore sides from laughing over how many times the two of you were too blinded by love to even realize the other was trying to ask.
