Parker getting competitive for your attention

Might actually have to write this one out sometime in more detail, because I am weak and cannot limit my wip list.

cw: Just the tiniest little bit of jealousy on Parker's part

By his very nature Parker is competitive. He has to win, and he has to know how to win in everything he tries.

You however are a new type of battle. Something totally new and unexplored when it comes to the rules. Which means he just has to figure that out. Even if there aren't any clear cut rules when it comes to people really.

What throws a wrench in all of that is that your attention is divided between so many personalities and different asks and needs in the house alone. The fact that there is a whole world out there beyond the house is even more daunting.

But the man loves nothing more than a good challenge.

He certainly doesn't get jealous when you get sucked into a G&G game with Chance or spend hours catching up on shows or get lost in your newest book.

What Parker does do is start almost challenging you to games that take hours to get through a round. The sort of stagey game that has you sitting there for what seems like hours while he explains set up meticulously.

If you just happen to need to come back every night for a week to finally finish the stupid thing well that's just how it goes sometimes with these complex systems.

He does beat you in a crushing victory, though that is because he has all day to scheme up the best strategy to counter every outcome to counter his next move.

You also have a hard time keeping the same level of focus as he does having to break the game up into so many different chunks. You feel like half the round is getting your focus back on the game plan and remembering how the rules work.

Once he has swept the floor with you he is more than happy to tempt you with another session to help you learn the ropes, he won't even add this one into your ongoing score of wins and losses.

If he does eventually ware you down into actually letting him get you into these complex games with him it is a perfect victory in the race for you affection and attention

Even if nobody else knew they were really competing for you, Parker is certain that he has won now.

And once he wins he is a little more insufferable about everything. He is especially always a little more smug when you show up for your regularly scheduled games nights.

None of this means that he tolerates you trying to pull one over on him if you do actually try it. Or adds any extra favor outside of your actual wins or losses

Parker just couldn't have you losing interest in the attic and your wonderful collection of boardgames again.

Especially before he worked out his feelings for you in their totally randomly determined entirety

Tony with an accident prone home owner

Its me, I am an accident prone mess

Warnings: None, mostly fluff but please yell at me if I need to add anything.

He is used to having to fix the others around the house, it's what he was quite literally made for. That does not mean that he is ready to watch you go tumbling down the steps and wind up banged up

He has no clue how people work. Not outside of the basics and you still find yourself having to check him on a few facts that he somehow manages to get wrong.

It does occur to you that maybe letting him watch clips referencing internal bleeding being good because the blood stayed on the inside was a mistake

But then again you cannot possibly keep up with everyone's viewing history let alone someone who is supposed to be on site all day

All the same he does care deeply, he's a fixer and he is going to do what he can even if it is just fixing whatever you managed to knock over and giving you some space if you need it

Tony isn't the worlds best when it comes to comfort but he has a story for everything and that counts for something in terms of a distraction. It's hard to be hung up on a small stumble and bruised knee when he's telling you about some job site insanity in a location you can't quite place.

He will do what he can, which is next to nothing in the medical sense but hey, he puts in the effort and can actually take instruction pretty well.

He does worry about you every time he hears a crash from when of the rooms or when the power does go out for more than a few minutes

If anyone else in the house expresses your clumsiness in a negative sense he is immediately defensive though

That probably started as soon as he started having feelings for you , if he was aware of that or not is a whole other issue

In his mind it just isn't fair to make fun of you for something you can't help. He can do it ok occasion but that's because his is for sure coming from a place of love. He knows for a fact that isn't always the case with the others.

This also goes for you too. If you're being unfair about a small trip or fall and beating yourself up the man just refuses to hear it

He will just keep cutting you off until you get the hint and let him worry about making sure you're taken care of, physically mosty but also on the emotional end of things.

Chance with a forever Chronicler in G&G

Warnings: None, fluffy and cute like our boy

Chance was so excited to actually get to sit at your table the first time and actually get to play he really didn't see the burn out

Not that he wasn't paying attention, he was just so involved in the story and actually getting to play his own character that he didn't see how much you struggled to remember basic rules or the turn order.

He would notice the stress after a few sessions, as much as it would pain him to catch on it would be made worse by the fact that it took him so long to see it

He would agonize over it for a night or two before bringing it up with you when you were winding down for the night. Not in an accusatory way, just more concerned for your wellbeing and your love of the game more than anything else.

When he finds out that you have been playing for years but haven't able to actually play a character in a long time he starts spinning up a one shot for you.

It starts subtly, with questions about your last character and if you could play them again how would you want to run them or what would you have done differently in your build

Then he's taking extra notes on little things in other media you comment on. If it's a plot point you really seem to enjoy or a narrative choice he makes a little note to himself to try to work it in

When he finally is happy with his story Chance waits for the perfect time to strike. Maybe one day the usual group cannot make to a session last minute and they are going to have to cancel

He offers to run something he threw together for you instead, the only thing that isn't ready is your character. He would save that so you could actually sit and spin up something really fun

It would be a high level one shot, to make sure you could go as crazy as you want with abilities and just throw yourself at being a player again

If you had a long running homebrew world he would even make sure to work it into your setting so it could be added to the lore and get some free world building out of him

Chance would do everything he could to make it fun and let you get to play g&g for what it is rather than being stuck on the other side of the screen

After the one shot if you wanted to keep playing he would be happy to work up another session, as if he didn't have one in mind already.

He would also offer you his help planning or looking rules up whenever you needed him in your main games. He would also be quick to point out that you can always ask for the weekend off and he would run something if you wanted him to.

Because that's what a good partner does either at the table or just around the house. It's all about supporting each other and making sure their needs are met.
