Before you close the ask box can we get a recap of what all is in there? Double checking my request went through before just. Sending it again.
I'm going to be honest with you, anon, listing out every single request I have waiting would take like 3 hours, and I'm not interested in spending so much time doing that right now.
But don't worry!! There are 2 easier ways to do this! You can send another request in, which would be perfectly okay to do, since you sent me this ask before I closed my requests, and if it's the same as another one in my inbox, I'll just delete one of them. Or, you can tell me what your request was, in whatever way makes you most comfortable, and I'll let you know if I got it! Also, if you sent it before the 31st of January, assuming your request made it to me, you'll find it here!

May I request Arlecchino romance headcanons? 🙏
For sure !! I've been really enjoying all the Arlecchino requests in my inbox recently, she as a character fascinates me!
Sorry this took me so long to get to, it's like. Every time I open it up and start typing, I get distracted by something else.
Content: Gender neutral reader (referred to as 'you'), romantic affection, nicknames, some behaviour from Arlecchino that could be considered a little seedy (including some passing mentions of jealousy/possessiveness) - a quick mention of alcohol in the last dot point.
Word count: I'd say somewhere over 900, done in a list format.
I'd say in most cases, she probably would have been the one to fixate on you and take steps to initiate the relationship to start off with - though I could definitely see it being the other way around, but she would've been very much out of her element. She's very much easily flustered when your attention is on her.
During the courting period, she would have cute young children bring you flowers from her whenever you happened to be in the area - at first it seems like some kind of plot or scheme, but in reality she's just too shy to approach you directly herself.
She has people watching out for you, always, even before you're together. Even if you're perfectly capable of looking after yourself, you'll find that there's often a Fatui member or two who just so happens to have grown up in House of the Hearth following in your footsteps or looking out for you.
Despite how affectionate she is, she does shockingly terribly when the favour is returned in any way - her cheeks get all red and she refuses to look at you, practically pouting, even if all you did was give her an innocent compliment or ask how her day has been.
I feel like a lot of the kids at the House of the Hearth remain loyal to her even after they've grown up - despite her cold exterior and attitude, they're all really fond of her and see her as this protective aunt figure, so of course once the rumour gets out that she's taken an interest in you (or vice versa), you find that whenever you're in the area, you're getting a lot of curious looks and whispers sent your way, or even some of the older ones just directly asking you questions - at least once there would've been a time when a younger child just directly asked when the wedding was going to be.
Arlecchino can barely function when you're around before you're together. She's a mess, blurting out compliments and just offering you things. You compliment her coat? Before you can blink, she's taken it off and is offering it to you, but in that annoyed, stubborn kind of way, as if she wasn't given a choice in the matter. "Just take it. You said you liked it."
She only just manages to keep her composure when the other Harbingers are around - she's entirely enamoured by you and it's far too obvious in the way that she's constantly looking over towards you and fidgeting about impatiently, or shuffling over so she gets to stand closer to you.
I'd imagine you two getting together officially just starts out with her accidentally blurting something out and admitting to her feelings, then immediately rushing out and avoiding you for as long as possible until you finally manage to corner her and demand answers, and you manage to work it all out from there.
Once you're officially together, Arlecchino can still be a little flighty around you, as if the slightest movement might scare you off. This borders on uncharted water for her - she's been in relationships before, but never with someone she actually cared for this much.
She's so needy and clingy at times, it's like she thinks if she lets you out of her sight you'll run away forever.
Once she's been given the go ahead for physical affection, she is all over you. Standing right up in your personal space, sitting so close to you that you're pressed up against one another. It's like she hardly even notices her arm wrapping around you, or her fingers linking with yours.
Once she's over that initial phase of doubt and worry, she gets better, though she can still be possessive and jealous at times.
There's nothing she loves more than being able to come to bed and get to hold you after a long day of working. She looks forward to it all day.
She vacillates between wanting to show you off to anyone and everyone and wanting to hide you away somewhere where you'll be safe.
She loves to provide for you - if it's within her power to grant for you, she'll do it in a heartbeat.
If anyone upsets you, she's ready to throw hands, no matter who it is. She'll square up with the Tsaritsa herself for looking at you wrong.
Arlecchino just adores you. She dotes on you to no end - the kids at the House of the Hearth find it adorable - the soldiers serving under her do too, but they're a little more subtle about it, especially considering Arlecchino is trying her very best to keep your relationship under wraps so news doesn't get around to the other Harbingers.
If someone gets her a drink or two and bring you up in conversation she's suddenly fanning herself as she blinks back tears because of just how much she loves you. It's adorable. For all the terrifying stories about her and her general reputation, she's really just a huge softie when it comes to you (though she definitely still has her stern, scary moments).
