Miraak X LDB headcanons

(I still fully intend to work on the priests visual/information posts but here's some miraak for now. Also these are super self indulgent.)

Though he doesn't know the reason why, his inner dov likes for him to hoard particular items- especially pretty gems and artifacts. However after the two of you become "gron", as he'd say in the dovah tongue, he notices that he can't help but want to...well..offer some of his precious items to you. It's really strange for someone like him, Akatosh knows he isn't one to share but, with you, it's different.

One of his favourite things to do when he comes home to you is to walk up behind you, put his mask aside and simply lean into you. He'll wrap those large arms around your waist and bend down so he can rest his head atop your own- finding this especially fun if you're a lot shorter than him.

Once the two of you are well established in the relationship, you can count on him expecting cuddles almost every second you're not busy. He'll sometimes claim it's because it's "too cold" but you know that's horseshit, he's Atmoran for fuck's sake. And yes, he'll smirk when you finally call his bluff, proceeding to pull you into him regardless.

Really bad about over excessively gifting you. No such thing, right? Wrong. He just figures that because it's something he'd like, surely you would too! It's pretty nice, sure, but when his gifts start transcending into an unsettling dismembered tongue...that's where you draw the line. He'll explain that "back in his day" it was considered a way of displaying battle prowess or something but you still won't accept. He's mad and will actually pout for a while.

If you happen to get sick he'll be really confused on how he should even act. He's not heartless and he has seen other sick people..but despite being a priest, he's never dealt with them. Shit, restoration is easily his least favourite school of magic and considering his talent.......that said something. But, you are his "Dovah Jud", so he'll be damned if he doesn't do something to help you. Next thing you know, he's recalling every ancient, obscure remedy he can think of- trying each and every one of them until you say it's enough.

Easily jealous and totally pretends he's not. Heh, he's Miraak, the First Dragonborn..how could he ever be jea-....are you seriously being nice to that lowlife bard? Can't you see he's just trying to get in your armour? Do you..do you want him to? Oh hell no. He makes his frustration blatantly clear by suddenly looking beside you, the ominous mask being enough in itself to send the bard running with his tail between his legs.
