Redoing some old headcannons so here is

Dark brotherhood birthday!

General headcannons with GN reader sfw and fluff

Pre falkreath destruction

If anyone were to throw a birthday party in the dark brotherhood it would be Cicero

I think he just looks for any excuse to hang out with the fellow members due to the fact he’s just lonely tbh

Cicero tries to make it a surprise party and frankly I think most of the members go along with it. The only people I think would be against it would be Nazir or Arnbjorn

Even then Nazir and Arnbjorn would come around tbh

Cicero hires some bards but Astrid does not let them in so he tries to play something and it sucks

Like I think he can play the flute but of corse they don’t have any on hand

I don’t think any member would be like expecting a party but i think most would enjoy it

Personally I don’t think anyone would throw Cicero a party so he just throws one for himself

Post falkreath destruction

At this point I think they appreciate eachother more

The burning of the sanctuary brings everyone a lot closer, learning to appreciate what they have and what they could have lost

Nazir tolerates cicero more than before surprisingly

He still dosent like the guy but he is still apart of their messed up little family

They actually do throw a party for Cicero for his birthday

They don’t go all out but he at least gets a cake and maybe a gift or two

Cicero would be really happy either way with literally anything he gets, he’s just happy he was remembered at this point

I think it’s also an excuse to just drink and party

I don’t think it gets to crazy unless the listener is involved with the planning

Idk maybe sanguine shows up and we get another night to remember

So… I have never been on board really with the Cicero x Astrid ship. It always felt unrealistic and cracky to me.

And then… I had a literal dream about it.

I was walking through some new sanctuary or dungeon, avoiding traps—as one does—when I hear Cicero—as one does. We meet up and he starts rambling—as he does—about the traps and the histories and the things… I try to clean up, picking up little things off the floor like throwing knives, throwing stars, dead plants, sequins, chicken feet, lettuce, etc.

Then, Cicero shows me a specialized trap (I avoid everything, of course), all the while throwing banter at the air. We’re about in the middle of a huge trap when I finally hear Astrid’s in-aberrant, annoyed voice. She and Cicero chuck insults and funny quips at each other, jester man always at my side doing wacky shit (I never see Astrid during the dream). Then Cicero throws a couple of tiny stars at me and they land. They aren’t very painful. We get to the end of the extensive trap and jump into a boat, riding down and around back to the main trap we were just at and stop. We hop out and I continue cleaning. Finally, Cicero yoinks some chicken feet from my reach and jauntily jogs off down a side corridor. Next thing I hear is “Will you marry me? I have chicken feet!” and Astrid’s subsequent laughter.

And I just freeze. With this huge, dumb grin on my face. Because how is that the thing that gets her? That stupid, dumb, silly, adorably idiotic…

Honestly, Astrid’s genuine laughter is such a nice thing to hear… Oo! And then they started bonding over the stupidity of songs with like.. three-sentence lyrics and no musical continuity or continuation. And then chicken feet came up and again, and more laughter… then I woke up.

It was a good dream.
