Willow and Hunter dating headcanons/short story of having a s/o that has trouble falling and staying asleep?? thx ^^
damn i have this problem too
This will be in thanks to them
Willow x reader x hunter
Let's just say they weren't too happy about it.
Hunter can understand, he probably went to bed very late at the castle
Willow understands too, she knows that not everyone can fall asleep easily.
She always tries to do something to make you sleep easier, sometimes she succeeds but most of the time she doesn't.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Let's say hunter wakes up at 3 am, he knows you're awake because your sleeping bag is empty
So he goes to the kitchen and finds you there.
" It's 3 am what are you doing?!
" I'm hungry and I can't sleep "
When you realize you're being taken to bed by him, he puts you in the sleeping bag and then puts himself on top of you, hugging you so you don't escape
" Now sleep, I'll be here if you need anything "
An hour went by and you couldn't sleep, neither of you could sleep
" Are you awake too? " You ask him opening your eyes
" Yes, I'll be right back " He said going upstairs to wake up Willow who is fast asleep.
It was a great silence, you could only hear Gus breathing calmly sleeping
But then you heard willow and hunter opening the door and coming downstairs
Willow sat cross-legged on the edge of her sleeping bag, Hunter sat beside her.
" Well I know some techniques to help me sleep, I always do some to help me sleep so let's try and if we don't I have another plan! " She said in an excited voice but low, to not wake up gus
You tried a few but they couldn't make you fall asleep but you got more sleepy but not enough to sleep
Hunter already fell asleep in the first one, you and willow thought it was cute
After they were done you lay down next to him with your head on his shoulder willow found a camera downstairs and tried to take a picture but couldn't
The camera looked damaged
She got a sad face, she just wanted to take a picture of her partners who were so cute cuddling each other
She then smiled and went to lie down on the other side of yours, and murmured
" Close your eyes and try to sleep, if you can't I can use a flower to try to make you sleep "
You did what she asked because you didn't want to be put to sleep by a flower.
After 15 minutes you managed to sleep but not for long, only 2 hours
When you looked at hunter's side he was also awake
He looked at you with tender eyes and said
" hey, you can't sleep anymore? "
" no "
" same " He said looking at the ceiling playing with his hands
willow was still sleeping, soundly and so was Gus, after all it was 6 am. you and hunter were the only ones awake, you two decided to go upstairs to eat, your palisman went after you
You didn't know what to say, Hunter was right in front of you eating silently, a very quiet but comfortable silence.
.
..
...
....
Until you heard a noise, it was Willow
" You two are already awake hm? " She said giving you a kiss on the cheek
" Yes, we couldn't sleep anymore " Hunter said continuing to eat
" You two... We should talk about this with Camila, y/n's eyes are full of sleep and so are yours hunter! " She said taking your face in her hands
" That would only cause more problems for the lady noceda, she's already doing too much I don't want to make her more problems" you said taking your face out of her hands and looking at the ground
The two looked at each other and then at you with a look of concern.
Hunter now went to your side putting his hand on your shoulder
" Y/n, you need to sleep more, this can't go on like this, more and more I catch you at 3 and sometimes 2 am up here and whenever I wake up you're already awake! It's not good, we're just going to cause Miss Camilla more trouble if you keep this up, she'll find out one day by your red eyes! pls y/n, the three of us will go there and tell her with you ok? " He said taking his hand off your shoulder and grabbing your hands
" Yea hunter also needs to tell her about her own sleep, we're going the three after lunch now, what do you think about getting a game downstairs until they wake up? " Willow said smiling looking into your eyes
You were happier about it, you still didn't want to talk to Camila thinking it would only cause her problems but you couldn't say no to both of them
" ok..." You said with a sad smile and went to get the game
Eventually they woke up and you went to put the game downstairs, the three of you told Camila the problem and she was grateful for it. She managed to find a solution to the problem, it didn't work much but it made you and hunter sleep more than 6 hours so a win is a win, you three were happy for now
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
I hope you like it!
I have at least 5+ in the drafts, I'm almost done with it
Byeee!

Changeling
After several days in Eridia, you end up taking a pecurliar and unexpected job. With Willow and Ais, you solve a mysterious case of a potentially posessed or cursed child.
Relationship: Ais x MC (friendly) , Willow x MC (friendly)
Characters: MC (you) Willow, Ais, Nessie, Mhin, Leander (both at the end)
It has been a couple of days you have been in Eridia, wandering around to discover the city, encounter familiar faces here and there, but only during daytime, you definitely did not want to be face to face again with a soulless. Surprisingly, you noticed repetitive faces, but there is one you have not seen outside of the Wet Wick at night, Willow’s. However, your mind was distracted by the pleasant smell of fresh baked bread. Your head turned to the origin of the smell, a bakery where a dog came out with a leather bag held by the handle in its big mouth. That was a really large, black dog, half the average height of a human you would say. Did he steal the bag? It is quite odd to see a dog with a bag around, the animals around Eridia are usually either strays or on a leash. You had nothing to do, so you somehow decided to follow the dog from a few meters away, in case the bag was stolen to return it back, and maybe to get money as a reward. People around either ignored him, glanced at the dog, or lightly peted it while it was on its way. After arriving at its destination, the dog entered an open shop. You read the metal and glass sign, “The Spark”, the star shape was familiar, but you couldn’t put your finger on it, it was when a familiar voice came from inside the shop that you could.
“Need something?”
In the darkness, you saw Willow; sitting behind a counter, the daylight stopped in front of her, not touching her.
“Oh, hey.”
Willow waved back a hi, staring at you.
“I… saw a black dog with a bag, I am afraid it stole it.”
Willow was confused for a couple of seconds and realized.
“Oh, no worries, he is my little messenger. He’s my dog, say hi Nessie”
Nessie, the droopy eyed dog lazily approached you with a ‘dog’ smile. He actually seemed very friendly. You gently scratched behind his ears.
“So I suppose this bag is yours?”
“Yes, it’s mine, Nessie went for errands for me. I hate the sun, and groceries can only be done by daylight.”
“Makes sense. That is why I never see you around Eridia during the day.”
Willow nodded, reading a piece of paper in the bag.
“Only for exceptions, such as work. Speaking of work, Mhin was supposed to help me out, but they cannot come as they got more urgent work, soulless…ugh.”
Willow scrambled the paper written by Mhin and rested her back against the back of her creaking stool. The monster looked at you again.
“Have you found a way to make money around the city? Or are you still baby fed by Leander?”
“ I did some errands here and there. Not much.”
“Do you have any knowledge that could be interesting, like shop keeping, occult, witchcraft, fighting, I don’t know…”
“I guess I have a bit of that, yes?”
Willow remained silent and thoughtful for some time.
“I cannot be greedy in knowledge these days, as long you’re fine with potential death I am good to go”
“Potential death? Wait, you’re hiring me?”
“High risks, high wage.”
Okay, currency was not your biggest wealth, and you felt a little guilty about how Leander paid for your food, your room, your drinks for too many days already, and it was someone quite trustworthy, giving you a job, a high-wage job. But you needed to know what it was about.
“What is that job about to be that deadly?”
“Faery, trickster, ghosts, demons capturing, killing, evicting, banishing...”
You raised an eyebrow
“You kill your people? I mean, you are a faery. “
“And humans kill other humans.”
“You got a point.”
Willow stood up and put in a bag some accessories from her shelves.
“Today’s work is about a child acting odd for a couple of days, the parents doubt of a demonic possession, or a curse, something that is not a disease. We got to visit them. My work is to basically remove everything that is invasive, haunting ghosts, trickers, entities, pixies, demons. Everything that annoys little mortals in this city, aside from my shop. Are you up for that job?”
“Is it riskier than Soullesses?”
“In the least extreme cases, no.”
“I am in.”
“Perfect.”
Willow closed the door, locked it and gave you a pile of heavy leather-covered books. They look very valuable but full of dog ears. Willow put a pair of tainted glasses on and started to walk down the streets in the building’s shadows.
“Let’s go, the house is located in lowtown.”
The walk was a little quiet, some people stared wary, suspiciously at both of you, surely mostly Willow, because how rare it was to see her in broad daylight.
“Don’t pay attention to the looks. Mortals are weird, as if monsters living in the dark can’t go out at day.”
“Is it really only that? They don’t seem just curious, like, in alert, distrustful”
“Like most humans in front of unseelie faeries, and monsters, you haven’t walked around with Ais for sure. People freeze, it’s funny. Oh, Hi Ais. You are here.”
The demon was towering you, waving back to the faery who welcomed him.
“Hello sparrow, found a job? You’ll love it.”
You narrowed your look to Willow.
“Wait, I thought you needed me, why is this annoying bastard here?”
Willow stared at you as if you had just asked her the most stupid question she had ever heard.
“If we have to catch a demon, it’s better to have a demon with us, obviously. Pretty sure Mhin knew Ais would be there and surrendered.”
“Happy the dove ain’t there. Would have been more awkward.”
Willow rolled her eyes. All three of you glanced at the tall house. It seemed so calm. Willow stretched her long limbs.
“Be polite you two, you both already have weirdo reputations here.”
“I do?”
“Like many odd balls here”
“That includes you, unicorn.”
“Shut up Ais”
She knocked at the door. A couple of seconds later, you heard the mechanics of the locks, the door opened. A worried mother welcomed us, she didn’t make us wait long to enter.
“Thank you for coming so fast, miss.”
“No problem, I had free time this afternoon. Shop is quiet like a coffin.”
The mother looked puzzled at you, and very wary at Ais
“This is MC, my apprentice, they will assist me today, if you don’t mind. I am not the best with children. And Ais, in case of… how to explain it… shady entity?”
“Oh no worries, nice to meet you… both”
“Nice to meet you miss, happy to help.”
You replied politely. Ais was quiet, as usual. He tried to give a “reassuring” smile.
“So, can you give us more information about unusual behaviors, physic changes?”
“Connie, my single daughter, she was always such a social butterfly, full of joy. For a couple of months, she looked off, sick. I doubted bringing her to the clinic, but she refused, you know how she admires Kuras, she wants to be a doctor just like him.”
“How old is she? Any disturbing events in family life?”
“She is 5, and no, her father is off and back to work everyday, I take care of the house, sell some crops, no financial problems, same for health, aside from her nowadays. I am worried she has been cursed or possessed, she threw her favorite doll so strong, it left a mark on her wall.”
She teared up a little, brushing briefly a tired watery eye.
“Can we meet Connie?”
“S-Sure, she is upstairs, in her bedroom.”
“Alright, thank you.”
All four of you went upstairs, the mother knocked at the door, no responses. The mother decided to open the door, and a blonde-haired girl was staring at the window. Not moving an inch.
“Connie sweetie, can you turn around and say hello?”
She remained motionless.
“Connie?”
Willow placed a hand on the mother’s shoulder, signaling it was fine.
“We will need some time with her, alone, if you are okay with that.”
The mother nodded, and left the room, closing the door behind her.
You all approached the child, who still hasn’t moved.
“Hey kid, what you looking at?”
Ais tried to ask gently. Connie didn’t reply. Nor moved, not even to look at Ais.
Was she petrified ? What the hell was wrong with that kid? You were clueless. Willow looked around, took a random plushie and tried to present it to the child.
“Hey, Connie. My name is Willow, what is the name of that plushie? It’s cute.”
Connie rolled her eyes to Willow. She didn’t reply. By the slight squit of Willow’s eyes, you could see something was off in the kid that Willow noticed.
Willow looked at the window where Connie was looking, her window was facing the forest.
“You lost something in the forest? We can bring it back if you want?”
No reactions from Connie, it wasn’t that.
“Hey Connie, can I check you, you know, like we do at the clinic, with Kuras.”
Connie instantly backed away. Her look narrowed on Willow, it didn’t look friendly as the mother described her beloved daughter. Her skin was pale gray, her blue eyes were accompanied by black eyebags.
“Chill kid. We wish no harm, Willow is an assistant of Kuras.”
Ais tried to reassure the kid, crouching to be at her height. Connie pushed him, considering her small size, you didn’t expect Ais to fall on his back and yet that happened right in front of your eyes.
“Strong kid there.”
“Not accurate strength for sure for a 5 year-old mortal like her.”
Willow stomped her way to the plush pile, looking for the doll that hit the wall.
“Hey Connie, we don’t hurt strangers, would you like it if I hurt your doll too?”
A normal kid would stop being naughty and apologize, beg for its toy, Connie didn’t, she remained threatening.
“No attachment for loved stuff. I might have my idea. Definitely not a possession.”
Willow headed back to you and whispered in your ear. “I need you to hold her the best you can, I have to do a body check, there should be signs on the body for possessions, curses and such. If she doesn’t want us to approach, there is a reason.”
“You expect me to hold this kid? You saw how Ais got thrown on the floor.”
“He will help you out”
You nodded, approaching the child reluctantly.
“I’ll catch you if you fall, again” Ais said referring to the last time at the seaspring. You rolled your eyes annoyed. He just chuckled low, happy with your reaction.
“Guys focus, we have a cursed kid here, or worse”
Ais caught Connie first with such speed it caught you off guard, and so does Connie, who screams, you help him out by holding her legs… they felt like modeling clay? Unlike fat or bones or flesh.
“I hate kids. Well, definitely not a kid.” Ais said, annoyed, trying his best to not let go.
Willow did her best to analyze the arms, legs, neck, and all the child’s body as much as she could, she checked her teeth, her ears. Pointy long ears and teeth were all you could basically see, not human-like. She was struggling too much.
“Her body feels off at touch, like… moldable?” You said to Willow.
“Body is deformed, primitive. Not a demon. Keep holding her, I need to check something.”
Willow hurryingly rummaged in her back pouch for gloves, she wore them before holding a silver ring. She placed it on the forehead of the creature, it screamed with a hissing sound from where the ring was placed, it was burning. When Willow put it away, it left a mark.
Willow took a chalk stick and a container of salt from her pouch again and started to draw on the floor, something a little too complex for you. The faery took Connie from your and Ais’ hands and threw her in the circle which seems to have invisible walls for us, but Connie couldn’t get out of the circle, she hit the invisible walls.
Willow carefully removed her gloves. Silently.
You were quite shaken by the chain of actions. And could only say:
“Wow.”
“Innit? I do that at least 2 times a week, but today, it’s a little unusual.”
“How so?”
“No curse, no demons, nor tricksters, or ghost, obviously for those last two.”
“Rabies?” Ais asked, puzzled.
“Kuras would have noticed, Connie’s mother wouldn’t have been sent to me by Kuras otherwise.”
“Well, what is wrong then?” You asked impatiently
“Nothing is wrong with that child”
“...Uh?”
“Be right back, check on her, have a chit chat, I don’t care, I’ll be there in 20 minutes.”
Willow left the bedroom, and directed the mother to go out of the house.
Aside from the invisible wall punching from Connie, the room was silent. Only the heavy accessories of Ais made noise when sitting on the floor while waiting. Playing with the chalk stick willow left on the floor
“So, how you doing sparrow?”
You eventually sat as well on the floor, standing with Ais around for 20 minutes is gonna be long.
“Enjoying the crazy internship? Fun right?”
“Not at all, that child is creepy.”
“I know right. Once, a friend of mine owning a brothel had a demonic possessed worker.”
You looked wary at him, suspicious friends he had. By your look, he replied.
“Not a demon like me. That shit was scary.”
“That wasn’t the problem, you have some unusual… friends.”
Ais shrugged with a smirk. “ Jealous?”
“O-Of course not! Why would I be jealous!?”
Ais smirk spread wider, satisfied with your reaction. Oh, he wanted that exact reaction from you.
“I hate you.”
“I like you too sparrow”
“Are you deaf? I said I *hate* you!”
“Heard what you said, but it’s a lie.”
“!”
“C’mon, I am trying to tell you a story. To pass time.”
“What is Willow doing anyway?”
Ais shrugged, clueless as much as you.
“She is so unpredictable.”
“That’s the most interesting part, she is bossy too, and has a shitty attitude sometimes, something you both have in common.”
“Fuck off.”
“Compliment, really. Back to my story, that was the first time we saw that, had to help my friend tie that girl to the bed.”
“What.”
“That’s a brothel, what do you expect, tea time? She was dangerous. For herself and others. We contacted Willow, she came, but she never did an exorcism before, as a faery, touching those tools are tricky, allergic to silver, salt, iron, holy water… such things. Crazy cool to watch though. The girl is good now, it worked.”
“She seems full of knowledge, but the least willing to share, not the pedagogical type. She is so distant, cold. “
“Today was a ‘meh’ day, I guess, working during the day, she barely does that. The sun burns her eyes, give headaches, weakens her. Friendlier type at the bar, or in private. But work is work. If she works in broad daylight, it must be urgent.”
You nodded, understanding it a little better.
“Back to Connie. Why did she capture her if nothing is wrong? Something is definitely wrong. A girl full of joy cannot in months turn into such an aggressive thing?”
Ais shrugged. “My knowledge doesn’t go above demons, I don't know for that kid. I sense no demonic energy.”
Willow returned, closed the door and rested her back on it.
“Okay it’s ready, in case the child doesn’t want to speak.”
“Now we are interrogating Connie okay, I truly don’t understand what the hell is happening Willow”
“You will see, hey kid, where are you from? The forest?”
Connie aggressively growled, hissed at Willow, not replying to Willow.
“Nevermind I don’t need the answer for that, what are you? Tell me where Connie is.”
‘Connie’ gave an uncanny smile to Willow, provoking.
“You know, I have the perfect place for you, you’ll talk faster trust me.”
Willow took a thin dagger from her upper arm and made a little wound big enough for some golden blood to appear on the surface of her palm; she made strings out of it, a little similar to Leander’s flower show. It was magic, but here, blood magic, a stronger form. She tied Connie and threw her on her shoulder like a bag of potatoes and went downstairs to the kitchen, both you and Ais followed her. The oven was lit up, ready to bake something, wait. Willow approached a bit too close to the oven with Connie.
Ais became too suspicious too, and decided to step in front of the oven.
“Willow, we don’t eat children for dinner. Come on.”
“ I am still a vegetarian.”
“Then why the fuck are you going to bake that kid?”
“ So they spit the truth?”
“Did the sun hit too hard? It’s a child, a mortal child.”
“A child, yes. Mortal? Negative.”
She pushed Ais and threw the kid tied up in the big oven and closed the door. Screams could be heard from inside. Willow explained:
“We are convoking the real parents.”
Ais raised an eyebrow.
“Ever heard of changelings?”
Willow asked to both of you
“Changelings are infants, but not mortal ones, faery children. That kid isn’t Connie at all, she was swapped with a faery kid.”
“Then where is connie?”
“Good question, MC, Where the fuck is Connie, little shit?”
Willow asked, looking behind her at the oven. The changeling finally begged to be out to reply to the questions. Willow opened the oven and pulled on the tray with the moldy hideous body on it, it wasn’t in the form of Connie anymore, it looked horrific, gray mass of skin with pointy ears, long teeth with chubby cheeks but hollow at the same time, it wasn’t coherent, as if the form changed.
“Damn, that’s an ugly baby.” Ais said, with disgust
“I got to say, Ais, I agree.”
“You were like this as a baby Unicorn?”
Willow looked up at Ais with a frown
“I was the cutest little baby of the world Ais, and the smartest, I did my first kill at 5 my dad was so proud. Don’t compare me with this ugly weak changeling”
The ugly wrinkled half baked creature weakly reached to willow who turned her attention to the deceiving faery with a satisfied smile:
“I am all ears”
The changeling told you everything. You stayed with the mother as Willow went into the forest in hope of finding the human child still alive, and not eaten by her relatives. Luck was with them as Willow came back with the real Connie on her back.The mother truly was relieved.
When going up the street to Amaryliss District, all three of you had a chat.
“Rare are the times parents realize just in time something is off with their child, they end up realizing too late when their real child is dead and raising a powerful faery that could potentially eat them too.”
“Aren’t you scared of having troubles with other faeries?”
“I am glad we found Connie in time.”
You couldn’t help but smile, that was a heartwarming comment. And you couldn’t disagree with that.
“That pendant you gave to her, it’s going to protect her?”
“Yes, and the shield you helped me with will prevent more unseelie creatures from touching this family.”
“Your prices are high, to be honest, but mortal lives have no value.”
Willow nods
“Be happy with your wage. The mother will tell a bunch of good stuff about you to others, that’s how marketing works in Eridia. It’s not only currency.”
Willow gave you a heavy pouch of coins, you looked inside, quickly.
“Thank you Willow, that’s a bunch of coins”
“Don’t mention it, it’s a fair wage. You did great.”
You couldn’t help but blush at the compliment. Willow didn’t notice it, thankfully, but Ais did, but didn’t tease you about it, very thankfully.
“Drinks?” He asked, wrapping each arm around you and Willow.
“I cannot say no, I am so thirsty.” You replied.
“It’s on me,” Willow added with a slight smile.
“We are well treated despite the baked changeling, how does it taste? Any morbid facts on that?”
“No.” Willow just said
“Bet it tastes like chicken.”
“Goodness Ais, shut up….” You just replied.
Arrived at the Wet Wick, Leander was already there with his bloodhounds. Ais headed already to get his drink.
“Hey Leander, we baked a child today.”
“WHAT.”
Leander turned flabbergasted, terrified to Ais who kept going to the bar to sit and order his usual drink, he turned back to willow to have an explanation. Mhin frowned to Willow, arms crossed,
“What the hell, Willow?”
“Changeling.”
Leander was immediately relieved. By the wide puzzled moody eyes of Mhim, they didn’t get it. Leander tried to briefly explain it.
“Changelings are baby faeries switched with a human one, so the faery child can be nourished by humans.”
Mhin looked at Willow, puzzled.
“You faeries are weird.”
“Why thank you Mhin. You missed a good wage today, MC did a great job today” Willow replied with a slight smile, gently pressing a hand on your shoulder. Mhin looked at you, pokerfaced, while Leander looked happy, like a proud mother who see his child succeeding in life. Mhin said with a pout:
“Surprised you are still alive.”
“Today wasn’t that bad. Comparing from what Ais told me.”
Ais smirked. Willow was puzzled. And realized what they meant.
“You told about that damn exorcism, I need a drink. Now.”
Leander laughed and prepared her cocktail that she immediately took a swing of it and left the group to talk to other people she knew. You stayed around the bar with Leander Ais and Mhin, Vere soon joined. You had a good time and enriching day, with a potential job.
