#lyra x grayson

[lyrakanefanatic]

i think i kind of have an idea for what lyra’s and grays relationship is going to be like!

so, we know that avery didn’t work out with grayson because she wanted risks and gambles, meanwhile grayson more wanted to protect the people he loves, and she didn’t want to be protected. and i think the reason avery is so drawn to risks is because her whole life she’s practically been invisible. she’s just been the average girl who never really got to live her life (in the way she does after tfg) and was never really in the eye of the storm, so that’s why her and grayson weren’t really meant for each other.

but what if lyra instead was in the eye of the storm her whole life? what if she seeks someone like graysons protection at times because she had to fight her whole life, (maybe in poverty, maybe other things idrk) and her life wasn’t really considered easy. im not saying that she has to be a fragile character who needs to be protected all the time, im just saying that maybe she’s been having to protect and fight for herself for so long that for once she feels safe having another person look out for her. and i think this because grayson is a character who generally likes looking out and protecting his partner in relationships. maybe in tgg he grows and doesn’t feel the need to as much, but no matter what he wants to protect the people he loves. i can imagine lyra being a character who can, without a doubt, defend and protect herself, but for once can feel at ease knowing that she’s not alone in the fight and has someone looking out for her. perhaps not as a bodyguard who needs to defend her from everything, but as an ally who will always be there for her.

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk! 🤗👏

#and i feel like if they have this dynamic they could for sure work out as a couple! #lyra x grayson #grayson hawthorne #lyra kane #the grandest game #the grandest game vault #avery kylie grambs #jameson hawthorne #the inheritance games #nash hawthorne #xander hawthorne #the brothers hawthorne #libby grambs #phone girl #maxine liu

Jameson: if you're offered 1 million dollars on the condition that the person you hate the most will get 2 million dollars, will you take it?

Grayson: of course, why would I turn down 3 million dollars?

Lyra: Grayson, no-

Lyra: *hugging him*

Lyra: we talked about this.

Gray may currently give off black cat energy but as soon as he falls for his Queen of Hearts, he's gonna be the golden retriever in the relationship no matter how much he downplays it. And Lyra ain't a black cat, no, she's a straight up calico.

𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐋 - grayson x lyra

“when you kissed me, after midnight, in a outdoor pool.“

- Lyras room was located on the seventh floor of the hawthorne island mansion, one story above the pool. She liked to spend nights on the balcony, the warm dusk air was always an experience. Not that she’d ever admit it to anyone ever, but , when grayson came out for his night-time swim she’d occasionaly scoot closer to the edge to get a better veiw of..... well, grayson.

The arrogant, professional bitch-boy Hawthorne who had invited her to the grandest game. They had barely spoken since the masquerade ball a couple days ago, celebrating the beginning of the game. At the ball, grayson had found her on the balcony. And he had sat with her. The whole night. He’d walked her back to her room and ever since then, things had been awkward between them.

Lyra was on the balcony again tonight, resting her head on the cool stone railing, gazing down into the lit blue pool, silently wishing Grayson would step out at any minute. As if he had read her mind he did. he had on a pair of sliders, a Harvard sweater, and his swim shorts. Lyra watched as he pulled his sweater off. He rolled his shoulders, flexing his back muscles. he stepped towards the pool, but as he was about to slip his sliders off. He turned around, staring up at Lyra watching him off the balcony. Making direct eye contact. Shit

After, hiding behind the railing for a minute, about to cry of embarrassment. Her phone buzzed.

Grayson - Gamemaster new message

she clicked it.

join me, tonight?

Holy shit.

—

Twenty minutes later, she walked onto the patio where the pool was. She had on a black two-piece, and had tied her hair up, to be honest, she was pissed that she’s have to wash her her again after swimming, but hey, it was worth it. Lyra sat on the edge, not daring to go in yet. Grayson finished his lap and swam up to the edge where she was sat. “You came?” he smiled up at her, flashing two dimples. “I don’t know why you’re acting surprised Hawthorne boy. May I remind you that, you are the one that texted me.” Grayson gave her a shrug, “get in.” He ordered her, she rolled her eyes, and slipped into the pool.

“solved my riddle yet Hawthorne?” She asked, swimming towards him. She stopped when she was close enough to rest her hands on his chest. “If I’m being honest Kane, no, I haven’t. And neither have any of my brothers.” “but,” she gave him an innocent look, “aren’t you supposed to know everything?” Grayson was not impressed. So much so, that he decided to splash her with water and swim away. How immature, she though before chasing after him.

Lyra only caught up to him when he stopped at the corner of the pool, he lent his head back and laughed softly, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. God that laugh. He looked back down at her, and when he did his nose brushed against hers. Then, he didn’t say anything, until he did. “Has anyone ever told you how utterly beautiful you are?” He lowered his gaze. “What?!?” Lyra wasn’t sure she had heard him right. Grayson moved his head closer to hers, so his mouth was just an inch from hers. “May I?” Lyra couldn’t speak, she only offered a nod in response. His kiss was soft and rough at the same time, Graysons long fingers caught in her hair, gently she brought hers up to cup his face.

Grayson only pulled away when someone cleared their throat behind them. Xander.

𑁍 | 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒.

book.

the inheritance games.

pairings.

grayson hawthorne x lyra kane.

summery.

grayson hawthorne and his camera. lyra knew how much he loves his camera. hell, he took pictures of different places around the world. sometimes, he takes pictures of her favorite places when he’s gone and he gives it to her. but other times, he just has to take a picture of her. especially when it’s surprising and she doesn’t even know it. after all, who can’t take a picture when she’s laughing like that? definitely not grayson devenport hawthorne.

or, in which the incidents of lyra kane catches grayson hawthorne taking candid pictures of her.

warnings.

nothing much—just fluff lmao, pet names, taking pictures without the person noticing (is that even a warning)? forehead kisses + kisses.

𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃 when grayson showed her his pictures. it was his hobby; the thing he loved—the thing that he only showed her. she couldn’t help but feel pride about the fact; that he was comfortable enough to show her that special side of him.

although, it’s when he took surprise pictures that ruins it.

she was kidding.

she did love to see herself in pictures. she loved it when he took pictures of her and put them in a picture. “you were too beautiful not to,” was his excuse whenever she caught him.

in her opinion, it was cute as hell.

incident one.

he couldn’t help himself. his girlfriend was over there, laughing at someone that avery had said, looking beautiful. and in that dress, too, beautiful.

thankfully, he’d brought his camera before he came to the party. he was used to catching moments like these with lyra, after all. he took the black camera out and quickly took a picture, making another photo slide out of the camera with the picture.

although, when he put the camera down, he saw a familiar look come from lyra, who was looking at him. she walked over towards him and he couldn’t help but let his eyes trail down over her outfit. her dress fit her perfectly.

“taking pictures of me again, gray?” she teased, looking up at the blond. the tips of grayson’s lips lifted slightly; something that lyra was always able to do to him.

“i can’t stop myself, lyra. you were too beautiful not to.”

incident two.

lyra was running around in the salty water, her wet hair sticking to her skin almost uncomfortably. she would’ve been bothered if it weren’t for the waves halfway up her hip.

grayson wanted to stay on land for a change—which was bluntly unusual—but lyra brushed it off. after all, he was grayson davenport hawthorne. he always did something that added up sooner or later.

she closed her eyes, enjoying herself in the water. she could feel the huge smile on her face as the waves crashed into the length of her, almost making her fall if she had not caught herself beforehand.

she felt someone staring at her nearby and she instinctively turned towards where grayson was sitting. there the boy was, putting what seemed like a camera back in his bag.

now i know why he brought it, lyra thought, mentally cursing herself for not guessing it sooner. she ran out of the ocean and towards him where he sat on a chair with an umbrella casting shade.

“wow. taking pictures of me while i’m in the ocean? why am i not surprised,” she said bluntly, though her voice had a hint of amusement. grayson smiled one of those smiles at her, taking off his sunglasses.

“sorry, lyra. you were just too beautiful not to.”

incident three.

grayson watched as the girl peacefully slept. he couldn’t help but feel lucky; lucky that she even wanted him enough to love him; to stand next to him willingly; to sleep with him.

before her, his heart was broken. he’d never told anyone his problems. never showed happiness. never whispered to anyone his secret hobbies without feeling judged; his fears without feeling pathetic; his heart without feeling horrified.

that was, of course, before lyra kane came into his life.

after she came, his life changed for the better before he even knew it.

he lifted his hand up, softly brushing a strand of brown hair away from her face. he loved moments like this—where it was just the two of them.

he turned over to the side of his bed where his bag lays. he’d came home from a meeting he had, but he never got to unpack because lyra immediately hugged him.

he sat up quietly, silently hoping that the girl wouldn’t wake up as he took his bag and unzipped it. inside was his camera. he swiftly took it out and turned the black box on.

he quickly took the picture, but not before waling the sleeping girl. “gray,” she mumbled. he could tell that she already knew what he was doing.

he smiled softly, leaning in to kiss her. “you were just too beautiful not to.”

WE NEED SOME LYRA AND GRAY HCS 🙏

OKAYYYYY 🤭🤭🤭🙌

- grayson calls her “ms. kane” when he’s teasing her but usually just calls her “my love” or just “love” 🤭

- she’s the only one who can make him blush, and somehow managed to do it in front of his brothers. they all cheered and snapped a photo, but grayson went onto all of their phones and deleted it 💀

- whenever grayson plans a visit with gigi and sav they always make him bring lyra too because they “love her more than him” (in a joking way, but gray still told lyra and she found it funny)

- when grayson first met her parents, lyra forced him to wear a NORMAL outfit (normal pants and a nice shirt) and his brothers were all speechless when he left the house 😭😭

- whenever xander can’t get grayson to agree to something stupid, he always makes lyra ask (and he always say yes to her 🤭)

- he loves giving her nose kisses and she loves giving him forehead kisses

- before gray and lyra became a thing, gray used to wake up at around 5:30, but after they started dating and lyra started sleeping in his bed she made him get up at 7 instead because “nobody should be waking up at that time” (he’s lowk grateful for it though because he ends up feeling more energized when he does wake up)

- THIS ONES MORE A SPECIFIC SITUATION BUT STILL!!

- gray, lyra, avery, libby, max, xan, Jamie, and nash were all swimming in the pool to cool off on a hot day, when suddenly jameson pushes lyra into the pool (they’re besties so it was in a joking way 💀)

- gray gives him a look, and when lyra comes up for air and starts saying “ow, jameson you made me scrape my ankle really hard, I think it’s bleeding” the look turns into a lecture

- lyra puts a hand out for gray to hold and help her out, when suddenly her pained expression turns into a devilish grin. She tugs on his hand, and sends him flying into the pool. everybody starts laughing, when Xander’s eyes go wide and he starts telling lyra to swim to the little stairs thing that gets you out of the pool (help I forgot what it’s called 💀)

- lyra realizes at the same time what everyone else did, that she needed to swim away as fast as she could. why? because she, who is the most average and slow swimmer to ever walk this planet, just pushed a practically olympic swimmer into a pool. NOT a good idea. 💀

- she swims away, going underwater to help her move faster, when her legs suddenly get pulled from behind her. She gets spinned around and is suddenly face to face with grayson. he’s smiling, and has the same devilish expression that lyra wore earlier. taking her up with him for air, he puts an arm under her legs and one on her back and carries her out of the water baby style. xander grins and steps toward grayson, and suddenly he was carrying her ankles, and grayson was holding her arms. they threw her into the pool, and grayson teased her for the rest of the day for being a slow swimmer 🙄💗

- he’s very big on hand placement, so he always has a hand on her thigh or around her waist 🤭🙌

- lyra is a very light sleeper, meanwhile graysons a DEEP sleeper. because of this, lyra could bang pots and pans in the morning and still not wake him up, but if grayson tries to get her head off his chest with even the slightest movement in the morning she’ll immediately wake up 💀

- he’s obsessed with how she looks in dresses with the leg slit (😻) and always tells her how beautiful she looks wearing them

- grayson is in love with lyras voice, so whenever he’s having a panic attack she’s always there whispering sweet things in his ear, or even just stories that she grew up being read, and it always calms him down 😭💗💗

- acacia loves lyra and lyras mom (assuming she has a good relationship with her mom) loves grayson 🫶🫶

- grayson loves to braid lyras hair, so sometimes when she gets out of the shower and is about to go to bed he’ll braid it 💗💗

- grayson loves how she looks in dark red lipstick and can’t stop kissing her whenever she does wear it 🤭🤭

- and she loves how he looks in suits (although she’ll never admit it because she doesn’t want his ego to get somehow bigger 💀)

- grayson always has to lie about how much he spends on clothes/gifts for lyra cuz she’ll be mad if he spends too much 💀

- for example it’d go like this:

- “hey gray, how much did you spend on this necklace you got me?”

-“$60.”

-“are you sure? dont lie”

“……$600”

“are you serious?? that’s way too much to spend on a necklace!”

“okay, then you’re not gonna like the actual price..”

“why? what’s the actual price?”

“…”

“grayson…”

“just… just add one more zero…”

“$6000?????”

- because of that whole thing, she’s somehow convinced him to not spend too much money on her (he still does anyway 💀)

OKAY THATS ALL THANKS FOR THE REQUEST 🫶🫶

TGG Theory!!!

In the NOVL's post about the Hawthorne Vault (regarding TGG), the caption and the clue to solve the password was "opposites attract".

In the most recent teaser post, the caption mentioned "enemies to lovers". What if these captions are related to the potential relationships that might blossom in TGG?

Gigi and Slate would obviously be the grumpy x sunshine couple (hence, opposites attract!)

Rohan and Savannah would most likely be opposites attract and also enemies to lovers because... did you see the teaser today 😭 - plus, Rohan has that roguish and charming vibe while Sav is serious and doesn't like playing around.

Gray and Lyra? Something tells me that Lyra Kane is very different compared to anyone else (any girl) that Grayson has known before. This one might be enemies to lovers because... Lyra probably hates the Hawthorne family (or at least dislikes them) because of her father's death. Grayson probably won't trust her easily either.

Anyways, I dunno, this was just a sudden thought I had 👀

𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭. - lyra x grayson

req from @lyrakanefanatic

-.-

Grayson Hawthorne had been stood outside his phone girls room for the better part of half an hour, he had no idea whether or not she was in there but he needed to tell her…

Grayson wasn’t what you would call a drunk, that was Jamesons job, but after a long week of game mastering or whatever, he needed it. So there he was, pacing outside lyras room, knowing what he was about to do was a very bad idea.

Grayson knocked.

A very confused Lyra Kane opened the door. “Gamemaster?” She tilted her head to the side, “why are you here.” Grayson stumbled towards her, “y-your here.” He gave her a lopsided smile. “Of course I’d be here, this is my room.” Lyra raised an eyebrow. Grayson pushed past her, stumbling into her room and threw himself onto her bed. “Oh you’re fucking wasted..” Lyra walked towards him, “Grayson, listen.” Grayson did not listen, “l-ly-ra I ha- important-t to tellll yo-.” Lyra pushed a pillow behind his head, “okay Grayson you have something important to tell me, I’m gonna go get you some water, you stay here.”

Lyra was gone for about a minute before she came back with a glass and a pitcher full of ice water. “Drink this.” She shoved the glass in his face. “Y-ou s-so beauuu-tiful” Grayson attempted to give her a kiss on the cheek. Lyra pushed him away, “That wasn’t very professional of you was it mr game master?” Grayson shook his head, “no.” Lyra giggled, “come on, drink up Hawthorne boy.” Grayson sipped his water, he had to tell her soon.

Once Grayson had sobered up a little, he decided it was now, or never. “Lyra, do you remember that thing I wanted to tell you,” Grayson looked up at her. “You’re still on that?” She asked, putting her phone down to look at him. “Yeah um- I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while, and I guess im only telling you now because I’m drunk out of my mind, I’m in love with you. The games ending soon and I’m scared for you to leave me, you make me feel like something, I am so so in love with you Lyra Kane.” Grayson took a shaky breath and waited for her reaction.”

“g-grayson, I can’t- we can’t Grayson, it’s not-“ Lyra shook her head, “what am I doing, you’re wasted, you don’t mean any of that.” She muttered. “I do.” Grayson sat up. “I do mean it Lyra, I mean all of it.” Lyra kept shaking her head, “no- no you don’t.” Grayson rested his hand on her shoulder, “Lyra, please- i love you.”

When Lyra looked back at him she had tears in her eyes. “Are you serious?” Grayson nodded, but before he could reply, Lyra grabbed his blazer and kissed him. Grayson lifted his hands to her face and kissed her back, they had kissed before, but never like this. Grayson pulled away, “Lyra, love, I would kiss you again, but I think I’m going to be sick” Lyra laughed in his face and kissed his cheek.

“ok, let’s get you into bed before you vomit all over your suit, Hawthorne boy.”

-.-

Lyra, narrating: despite being at a loss of words, Grayson yelled at me for the next 45 minutes.

Not gonna lie, Lyra could be Grayson’s bodyguard with those thighs. Also in response to @lumine4624's request for headcanons, here you go.

Lyra is taller than Grayson.

She does kickboxing and wrestling with a healthy dose of martial arts, her fave being taekwondo.

Her favorite color is purple that bleeds on the edge of royal blue.

She's a flat white kind of girlie but secretly loves when Gray buys her a cinnamon cold-foam latte.

Gray loves spring, she loves winter and their perfect in between is fall.

Lyra will gladly kick his ass out the office if he's been working in there for too many hours and it’s really late at night.

She gives him tough love until he showers and then is ready for bed, she kisses his forehead.

Her fun date ideas actually include being at a cafe writing for a few hours or the complete opposite: laser tag. This girl kills at laser tag.

Grayson is more of a fencing type of guy so he is up for that if he wants a more physical activity but he also adores eating in a rose garden at dinner by the sea.

Lyra is a sucker for white chocolate.

That’s what I got for now.

Unexpected Company - Lyra x Gray

word count: 537

book: the grandest game

ship: lyra kane and grayson hawthorne

"Hey, gorgeous," Lyra's voice cut through the silence, making Grayson jump. "Lyra, what are you doing here? It's the middle of the night," Grayson asked, confused at the sight of a sleepy Lyra standing near his doorway. She had somehow entered his bedroom without making a sound. Grayson was sitting on a blue velvet couch, eating some leftover dinner Gigi had brought to his room earlier. He was spending most of his nights locked in his office, working. But decided to rest earlier, tonight.

"I just wanted to check up and see how you were doing," she said, looking around his bedroom, nervous. Grayson raised a questioning eyebrow. "I couldn't sleep," she finally said, hating the silence that stretched on. Grayson stood up from his place on the lounge chair, trying to get a read on her face. "Are you feeling okay?" "Yeah, I was-" “Just checking up on me?” Grayson finished, still confused. “I’ve been having nightmares about my dad again.” Lyra finally looked into Grayson's eyes, “And I didn’t know what to do. I swear, if I stayed one more second in that bedroom, I would go insane.” She rambled, “So you came here?” Grayson gave her a skeptical look. “Well, I didn’t expect you to be here." Lyra rolled her eyes slightly. 

“Excuse me? You didn’t expect me to be in my bedroom? At 11 PM?” "Look, the day after the masquerade ball, I decided to come visit you, and you weren’t here, so I looked around your room.” Lyra trailed off, staring at a point behind Grayson. Grayson turned around and saw her staring at his bookshelf. “You’ve been reading my books when you can’t sleep?” When she looked down into her hands, he continued, “You can stay if you want; I wasn’t planning on sleeping yet.” Lyra looked up and grinned. "You're going to entertain me, Mr. Hawthorne." Grayson quickly cleared his throat and looked away. “No, Ms. Kane. I’m not the entertaining type. You can sit and read if you please.” “Very well,” She spoke with a grin, walking lightly to the bookshelf and pulling out Little Women. “That’s the book you’ve been sneaking into my room for?” “What’s wrong with it? It’s a tale of sisters finding love and growing  up." She frowned, looking at the book on her lap. "Plus, you have the pretty red and gold version.” She said, opening the book up, Grayson cleared plates from the coffee table before settling onto the spot next to her. “Have you read this book?” Lyra asked unexpectedly, “Yes, only once for school." "Here, read it a bit; it’s really good." She handed him the book, urging him to read. Grayson started reading aloud on the page Lyra left off; she was sitting right there, reading over his shoulder. Slowly, her eyes started to grow heavy, eventually falling asleep. When Grayson noticed, he set down the book and picked up Lyra, making sure not to wake her. He set her down on the bed carefully. “Next time, I won’t surprise you, Mr. Hawthorne. I’ll just ask," Lyra murmured sleepily, snuggling herself deeper into the blankets and pillows. Grayson only smiled before turning off the lights and leaving his bedroom quietly.
