I know the request said headcanons but it's too fic-y to just be headcanons? therefore it's a fic now! This really made me want to reread the books and if anything, rebind (as in bookbind) them as my copies are not doing well.
Pairing: Poly!Fierrochase x gn!reader, Alex fierro x reader x Magnus Chase

-AsnyoxIt just came natural to you, taking care of those around you. You always carried extra snacks, maybe band-aids, a water bottle- basically a care package in your bag. For you it was always a nuisance if you couldn't fix tiny issues when you were on the go, and to an extent you were always ready to help those around you if they needed it.
Another thing you got going for you was your memory- often you would remember small things told to you in passing. Appointments, supplies someone needed, deadlines, you wouldn't shy away from casually reminding people of them especially when the life you're leading could quickly become hectic. Through your caring nature you also quickly befriended Magnus, Alex and the rest of the perthro family.
Of course, whenever Magnus was around nobody would really need patching up from you. Magnus was after all a walking health potion. But other times, if someone got only the slightest of scratches, you would have a plaster ready. And if there were tougher times, you would always prepare some form of comfort food for those who need it. Magnus came to you more often than Alex to talk about his feelings, the way he sometimes felt he still needed to deal with the grief of losing his mother- or the sudden changes happening all around. Alex specifically had a hard time sharing her feelings, she wasn't used to being openly received and it might have taken a little more prying and patience before she willingly shared her troubles with you. But with enough kindness and care she came to understand you were a safe space- Magnus too, and if she needed it you would be there to listen.
There was another perk to being your lover that Magnus and Alex found. Somehow, unconsciously, you had made your room and bed the coziest place in the entirety of the nine realms. Just laying on your bed could relax either of them instantly. Whether it was because of the blankets you had, or the scent, or maybe that fact that it meant you were also in your room, they didn't know.
If she hadn't seen you for a while, Alex was always a little taken back by the fact that you tended to have a little gift for her. It was just something small, but meaningful and a silent way of knowing that you thought of her while you weren't together. And in a sense she could relate, if you haven't talked in a few days and she starts throwing pots she sometimes surprises herself with making something that she just knows you would like. There is a certain shape of mug you prefer that always comes out if she misses you. The pottery reminded her of you, and it often led to her shooting you a message.
Magnus on the other hand doesn't fully know how to deal with the presents. He's in a stage where he thinks receiving a present means you expect something back from him, and when you never ask he's just left confused.He treasures the little gifts, and often appreciates it even more if it's something he forgot he wanted, but he tends to wait for you to ask something of him, and if it doesn't happen he tries to figure out how to pay you back. The first few times he got a gift from you he actively freaked because he thought he had missed an important date- but that wasn't it.
At some point he voiced his concerns to Alex, who simply said, "(Y/n) simply thought of you when they saw this and got it, that's not hard to understand, is it?" smiling a little mockingly at him. Maybe it wasn't, but Magnus was thinking of you all the time and if he were to get something for you each time you would need a storage unit for the amount of gifts. So instead, the next time you brought him something he simply asked.
"What do you want in return? I really want to give you something but-" he got interrupted by your laugh.
"Alex said you would ask," you tapped your chin, feigning a thoughtful expression, "How about a kiss?" that was easy to deliver, and left Magnus more flustered than you.
And then there was the way you helped around the Chase place after it was founded. Alex had warned Magnus beforehand that you might never leave the place if they let you. There were so many teens and other homeless that needed help, a pick-me-up, or had clothes that needed mending that you could help around for days on end and never catch a break. For someone who loved giving self care reminders, you seemed all too set on disregarding your own health. Which is where your lovers had to come in.
"(Y/n), when's the last time you ate?" Alex hummed, not so sneakingly slipping behind you and holding you, his face next to your ear. You could feel his breath on your neck, as you kept sewing the glove you were holding. You stayed silent, thinking the question over.
"I haven't had lunch yet, but it's not that late, is it?" you answered, pausing a moment as Alex hummed.
"That's not the point, nor the mindset you should have," Alex pressed a kiss on your neck, "Good thing Magnus is almost here with lunch for us. Then it's time for a break."
As Magnus arrived you moved away from your little sewing project, in favor of giving your lovers all the attention you had. This seemed to please them both immensely, and you felt your cheeks get warm from the amount of attention they were giving you. If anything, you really appreciated that they looked out for you, by bringing you lunch.
"Who's the gloves for anyways?" Magnus asked as he stared at what had kept you busy before.
"Oh, I don't know. They were left here a few days ago and could clearly use a fix," you shrugged, "maybe the owner comes back, and if not someone else can use them. It's getting colder after all."
"You should've just thrown them away," Alex said, "You got enough other things you're doing, a pair of abandoned gloves should be the least of your worries,"
"In this day and age," you playfully glared at Alex, "a pair of gloves is very important, imagine all the cold fingies people have." Alex laughed, and didn't press any further. Because that's what he loved about you- always taking care of those around you, even if you don't know who they are. Magnus smiled too, shaking his head.
"Will you at least take the rest of the day off? We could go on a date or something," Magnus offered. He had realized how much he missed you when last night he had gotten your favorite snack instead of his own when he was feeling peckish.
"Of course!" then you hesitated, "I mean, what if-"
"Nope, no thinking," Alex stood up, and grabbed your hand, "We're leaving now." Magnus quickly joined, grabbing your other hand and guiding you out of the Chase place.
