Endearment

terms

of

endearment

Pookie. Honey bear. That Bastard. Sun and stars, moon of my life. Prince of Darkness.

Pet names. Love 'em. Hate 'em. Whether they send you swooning or get your eyeballs rolling, they own at least a little charm. Sometimes, with the right combo of words, we just can’t get enough!

Does your character have an alias for that special someone in their life? Don’t worry, you can tell us. And the character that affectionate nickname belongs to.

▶ For the top-level folks: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. After you set up your name/canon/preference header, go into the comment and fill us in on what pet name would be your character's go-to. Gun to their head, if that's the necessary provision.

▶ For the reply folks: their character just called your character...that. You read it. That. Go nuts.

Papa.

[ What? It was his position. It was a term of respect and reverence. ]

Good boy/girl.

[cuttingremark]

[Turning just a bit pink at the tips of his ears.]

It was just a simple charm.

[arrowtip]

[ there is absolutely no way that Clint actually heard that right. And absolutely no reason there's a sharp pool of heat somewhere behind his navel at the idea that maybe he did. He lets out a sharp cough, pausing in the doorway he was just about to leave ]

Sorry Boss, what was that?

[ it's cool, he's fine, definitely heard it wrong, no big deal, nothing to see here ]

[brandingproblem]

[That keening noise slips out of him, and he doesn't mind at all. He tips his head up, basking in the praise.]

Thank you, sir.

[favoriteanalyst]

I get all soft when you call me that; you know that, right?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh... I loff it! [ He looks unrecognizable but it is just the Swede. The voice is the same. He completely ignores looking different. ]

W... what does it mean?

Feeling partial to 'shitface' right now.

Be still my heart.

[So much sarcasm]

Aziraphale | Good Omens

[oh_bebop]

I'm rather fond of duckie.

[ It's fallen out of style since the 18th century, not that he's ever had occasion to use it, now or then. Thought of it all the same. ]

Emmeline Findlay | OC | OTA

[luminesscence]

Darling or sweetheart. I'm afraid they're too boring sometimes, but...well. I don't use either often.

[star_in_the_abyss]

My dear lady, they may sound cliché to you, but I promise I would never tire of hearing them.

[They stroke her face, careful to be gentle since they were touching her with a gauntlet.]

Alfred Pennyworth, The Batman; cross-canon pref

Love. [Hey, he's British, he has an excuse.]

((Adult ladies (he's in his 50's, he's interested in women not girls tyvm) for anything shippy, OTA gen/platonic.))

Steve Rogers (de-serumed AU) / MCU / ota

Darling, dearest, my love... I suppose it depends on how comfortable I am.

[nooner]

That in order of comfort, then?

Kara Danvers | Supergirl (DCTV) | M/F

[wapow]

Huh. I've used baby, honey, darling, sweetheart... Sometimes, I get creative with it and make a nickname that came from an inside joke or something like that.

[Kryptonian pet names are a whole other story.]
