Choi Jongin and Baek Yoonho (+ ChoiBaek) Headcanons
This is what I headcanon for every AU they're in
Choi Jongin:
Is a night owl
Is a coffee person
Has trouble sleeping, so he has eye bags that he tries to cover up
Looks at the stars at night whenever he can't sleep
Love language is quality time
Acts friendly and sly but is actually an emotional and very introverted person
Is most genuine and honest in the middle of the night
Loves and is secretly really good at card games but doesn't get to play often
Hates feeling inferior
Has two or three close friends
Baek Yoonho:
Is a morning person
Is a tea person
Is a light sleeper
Love language is physical touch
Is good at reading people and can get along with almost everyone
Is as smart as Jongin but doesn't show it
Is secretly shy when meeting new people
Hates the smell of smoke
Gets worried easily and tries to hide it
Tends to ignore or avoid things related to personal feelings
Choibaek:
Jongin isn't afraid of Yoonho, no matter what he looks like or does
When Jongin falls for Yoonho, he assumes Yoonho won't feel the same way about him because they don't have much in common
Yoonho assumes Jongin hates him from the moment they met because of his comments (until he learns how to read Jongin)
Yoonho's first impressions of Jongin completely changes the first time Jongin is genuine with him
Yoonho likes giving Jongin kisses to the top of his head
Jongin has to stand up on his toes to kiss Yoonho if they’re both standing
Yoonho likes touching Jongin's hair and does it without thinking most of the time
Yoonho cooks for Jongin often
When Jongin is tired, he clings to Yoonho
Jongin started sleeping better when the two of them started to sleep together
Whenever Yoonho finds Jongin looking at the night sky because he couldn't sleep, he joins him (usually when their most serious and softest conversations happen with Jongin actually being himself and Yoonho being relaxed during those times)
Bonus - Nicknames they call each other (in order from most used to least used):
Jongin: Kitty, furball, Yoonie (only in private)
Yoonho: Fire hazard, pyromaniac, firefly (only in private)
I would fight for these nicknames to be canon
(Might do some Park Kyung-Hye and Sung Il-Hwan headcanons next. Anyone know the ship name for them? SungPark? Is that it?)
I think only one person is going to recognize most of these, but that's okay-

Tigerpaw x Rusty
Growling Tigerpaw launched himself at Thistleclaw. But his mentor easily threw him onto the ground and pinned him.
"You are such a useless fighter! I swear, I should just kill you now." Thistleclaw spat, raking his claws against Tigerpaw's face.
Wincing Tigerpaw trembled as he felt blood run down his face. This is usually how training sessions with Thistleclaw go. It seems that Thistleclaw must hate him because his mentor abuses him so often.
But Thistleclaw says he's doing this so Tigerpaw won't be like his father, Pinestar, and run off to be a kitty-pet.
Pinestar used to be a respectful leader, but soon after Leopardfoot gave birth to his kits, he left to go become a kitty-pet, leaving his mate, Tigerpaw's two siblings named Mistlekit and Nightkit, behind.
As soon as his father left, Tigerpaw's life began to rapidly change. His siblings were very sick and soon died. His mother, Leopardfoot, was heartbroken because of this. She couldn't take care of him because of how depressed she was. Even now, she's still distant.
Thistleclaw is the only father figure Tigerpaw has, and he's far from the best. Tigerpaw is sure that he doesn't even care about him.
Tigerpaw also has no friends. The only cat he ever interacts with is Thistleclaw, and Tigerpaw is sick and tired of spending time with the mean gray tom. But he has no other choice.
"Don't kill me!" Tigerpaw pleaded. "I'll become a better fighter."
However, Thistleclaw didn't look convinced. He dragged his claws around Tigerpaw's eyes, not drawing blood but just teasing him.
"I don't know. You are pretty weak. I think you might as well become a kitty-pet. You are certainly a horrible thunderclan apprentice." Thistleclaw laughed.
"No, I'll never become a kitty-pet! I'll shred any kitty-pet I see!" Tigerpaw growled.
The tabby tom knows that he's bluffing, of course. Tigerpaw hates fighting, and that's another reason Thistleclaw hates him.
Intrest gleamed in Thistleclaw's green eyes.
"Hm. Will you actually do that?"
"O-Of course…" Tigerpaw lied once more.
"Well, then I have a challenge for you. Go into the two-leg place and kill a kitty-pet. Then bring me proof that you did it." Thistleclaw ordered.
Tigerpaw gulped. Even though he is bulky and seemingly strong, he doesn't want to fight anyone. Even a kitty-pet. But Tigerpaw knows that he shouldn't tell Thistleclaw if he wants to live.
"Do you want me to drag a kitty-pet's corpse over here to prove I did?" Tigerpaw asked. That seems complicated.
Thistleclaw snorted. "Of course not, you idiot. Just bring me the kitty-pet's fur or something like that. If you don't return with that, you might as well become a kitty-pet or I'll just kill you."
"I promise I'll kill one," Tigerpaw promised. "Just get off me."
Getting off of him Thistleclaw let out a growl.
"Don't come back soon," Thistleclaw said, padding back to the Thunderclan camp.
Once his mentor was gone, Tigerpaw then headed over to the two-leg place. Maybe Tigerpaw should just become a kitty-pet. That way, he wouldn't get hurt by Thistleclaw anymore.
But Tigerpaw knows that he wouldn't be happy in a two-leg because he would be locked up constantly, and he wouldn't want any two-leg touching him. Besides, he doesn't want to be like his father.
As Tigerpaw walked past two-leg nests, he was looking for cats to kill. Even though Tigerpaw knows he can't kill a cat, he couldn't just steal a kitty-pet's furball. Soon, Tigerpaw spotted a kitty-pet outside their two-leg nest.
He has a pretty flame-colored coat with gleaming emerald eyes and a collar of the same shade. He was also fairly chunky, but Tigerpaw couldn't help but find him hot.
Tigerpaw ended up staring at the cat, whom he assumed was a tom, for a while.
The kitty-pet noticed this and jumped over the fence, facing Tigerpaw.
"Hey, I haven't seen you around here. Are you a new arrival? You are kind of cute. I could show you around my nest if you want." He then added: "My name is Rusty. What's yours?"
Tigerpaw struggled to listen to all the questions. Normally, no cat talks to him in a non-threatening way. Let alone call him cute.
"No, I'm not a kitty-pet. I live in the wild. My name is Tigerpaw." Tigerpaw answered.
"Hey, you are hurt." Rusty suddenly realized this. "Come into my housefolk's yard. I'll get you some cobwebs."
Tigerpaw was hesitant about going into a two-leg "yard," as Rusty called it. But Rusty wants to help him, so Tigerpaw can't just refuse his offer.
"Alright…"
Rusty then leaped over the fence, and Tigerpaw followed. The orange tom then went over to a log and pulled out some cobwebs. He then plastered them on Tigerpaw's face.
"It's much better now. Thank you." Tigerpaw muttered. At least he wasn't bleeding any more.
"No problem. How did you get hurt? You are also a thunderclan cat, right?" Rusty asked.
"My mentor." Tigerpaw then answered Rusty's other question before he could ask him anything else. "Yes, I'm a thunderclan cat. How did you know that, and how do you have any knowledge of herbs?
"Well, my father spent some time with forest cats. He was even friends with one for a while. He taught me and my siblings everything he knew." Rusty answered. "Your mentor is your trainer, right? Why would your trainer hurt you so badly?"
Thistleclaw has hurt Tigerpaw; it was worse before, and he always gets away with it using various excuses.
Tigerpaw was a little hesitant to tell Firepaw about Thistleclaw. Because he knows he's going to have a meltdown, and he doesn't want to chase off the first cat that has shown him attention.
"His name is Thistleclaw. He hurts me often. If you want me to tell you about him, we're most likely going to be here all day, and I'll probably start sobbing." Tigerpaw admitted.
"Well, I don't care how long we have to be here, and if you cry, I'll comfort you," Rusty promised.
Tigerpaw was surprised that Rusty wanted him to keep talking. He really wants to get his anger out. So he has no problem telling Rusty what's on his mind, if he doesn't mind.
"Alright, listen closely…"
Tigerpaw then told Rusty about his family background. He told him about his dead siblings, his father leaving him, and how his mother was too sad to take care of him. He then told Rusty about how Thistleclaw constantly abuses him and how he has no friends.
As he spoke, the tabby tom started to cry. But Rusty comforted him, and he stopped.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you. You could live with me and my housefolk. Thistleclaw won't hurt you then." Rusty offered, nuzzling him.
Tigerpaw couldn't believe how kind and welcoming Rusty was. It seems that Tigerpaw may finally have a friend. Tigerpaw has thought about becoming a kitty-pet before. But he isn't sure that he wants to do that.
Sure, he would be free from Thistleclaw, but Tigerpaw doesn't want two-legs touching him, nor does he want to be locked up in their nests constantly. He wants to be free in the wild!
"Thank you, but I want to stay in Thunderclan. Maybe Thistleclaw will get nicer." Tigerpaw said, dipping his head.
Rusty didn't look convinced, and he opened his mouth to argue. But he quickly closed them.
"Alright. I don't know whether this will help or not, but I'm pretty sure I know where your father is. He lives a few nests down, and he's named Pine now. He was my father's friend." Rusty told him honestly.
Tigerpaw's mind raced. He could meet his father. The cat he heard so much about but hadn't seen in a while Even if Tigerpaw wants to meet Pine again, he knows that he can't right now.
Pine left his siblings to die, and he left Leopardfoot depressed. Tigerpaw can't forgive him, at least not yet.
"I can't face him after what he has done to me. I need to recover still. Maybe I'll meet him again sometime, though." Tigerpaw replied.
Rusty nodded. "I understand. I can take you there some other time." Rusty then hesitated. "Can you meet me here again? Maybe in a week? I really like talking to you."
Tigerpaw let out a purr. Even if Rusty is a kitty-pet Tigerpaw enjoys spending time with him as well.
"I'll gladly meet you in a week." Tigerpaw purred.
"Great!" Rusty replied, nuzzling him.
Tigerpaw then remembered something and shuffled his paws.
"Can I have some of your fur? It's a strange request. I know. But my mentor, Thistleclaw, thinks I'm killing a kitty-pet so I need some sort of proof." Tigerpaw asked awkwardly.
"Sure." Rusty laughed. "I have plenty of fur to go around."
Once Tigerpaw grabbed a mouthful of Rusty's fur, he said goodbye and padded away. As he headed back to the Thunderclan camp, Tigerpaw couldn't help but smile. He can't wait to meet Rusty again.

Thoughts on firetiger? Any specific headcannons or aus you wanna share?
Oh I am a very big fan of FireTiger! One might consider it Old Reliable, even, haha. There are a lot of different ways one could take the idea, and I enjoy darker themes as well as more casual and light ones, but angst is always important with FireTiger!
One of my favorite fics is @mallowstep's break me like a promise, which I won't link but will note content warnings for the age gap inherent to the relationship, as well as depictions of grooming. The reason this is one of my favorites is because of the perspective being offered on how easily things could have been changed in the context of the story (which is what we as writers do with a lot of our aus, right?). It's a very compelling read.
Like with some of the other "taboo" ships I like, I enjoy the cultural inspection of the situation the parties would find themselves in. Tigerclaw is not a young warrior (weird timelines aside) and Fireheart was made a warrior early. Looking at how they get close and why, what circumstances allow it, how things look when their relationship gets more cemented--how does the clan respond, how does Goldenflower respond, etc.
Other fun aspects to include: is Fireheart involved in the upbringing of Tawny and Bramble? Is Cloud still brought into the Clan, and where is he in relation to this?
All of that lends to more serious prose, theoretically, but also there can be things like "that darn Fireheart sure does wriggle a lot in his sleep, better wake him up at midnight-thirty to get some of that energy out--oops he's very pretty in the moonlight, I wonder what kind of prey he likes" gay panic Tigerclaw. Similarly, one could try a "that Tigerclaw sure is big and scary and imposing and confident and reliable and I wonder if I could get him to teach me some moves so I can be a better warrior" take. Let us not forget Fireheart's narration refers to him as Big and Handsome quite often, lmao.
