a few random/domestic ones:

• blair loves historical romance books. she reads them in the bath and during her lunch break at work, a little getaway. they are not all trashy! (i say to you, but also she says to dan). there are a lot that are well written, and they’re addictive. dan is very offended by this, but then he reads one she left on the nightstand and it makes him blush. blair catches him and teases him about it endlessly, but also flips through them to give him some ideas.
• dan proposes by leaving her a coded message in the acknowledgements of his recently finished novel, and then asking her to review it. blair comes storming in the room, dramatically throws down the draft (physical copy, because when blair edits his work she likes it to be very visual) and exclaims that she would’ve liked a more romantic setting to read his proposal than over brunch on a sunday when her only plans for the day were to catch up on downton abbey and get her legs waxed. dan says, before we argue about this, that’s a yes, right? blair says, obviously, you idiot. (she makes him publish the actual proposal in the actual acknowledgments).
• they have two kids; katherine tallulah waldorf-humphrey and harold waldorf-humphrey. they go to private school outside of the UES. katie’s a daddy’s girl, she’s quiet and she makes a fuss when blair does her hair or puts her in a frilly dress (dan, i think she’s broken, i need a refund!!!), she doesn’t make an effort to make friends, always has her nose in a book, and she’s really, really sweet (other than when she fights with mom, which is a lot). harry, on the other hand, is outgoing and snarky and constantly in trouble. he rules the metaphoric met steps without even trying.
• courtesy of iz @dykemulder: dan writes storybooks for his kids and reads them before bed so they have their own little world just for themselves.
• blair does one of those vogue “beauty secrets” youtube videos (serena does one too and it’s just sunscreen and lipgloss and it gets a ton of hate) and in the background you can see dan playing with the baby and it goes viral with buzzfeed articles like “blair waldorf’s husband is a dreamboat” and “i liked dan humphrey before it was cool”. blair is furious, almost threatens divorce.
• this leads to blair forcing a begrudging dan into a bunch of obviously staged instagram photos (dan not-so-secretly loves having blair show him off but cuddling the baby and the cat shirtless?! he has a serious writer image to uphold).
• blair calls dan “kitten”. goodnight

hi i’m here to hijack ur post ❤️ writing stories for their kids is so important to dan because he has spent so much of his life feeling like he doesn’t belong and his story is just background noise. blair has spent her entire life in the spotlight but not quite, feeling like a b-plot and a sidekick and never the main character. dan wants their kids to be the heroes of their own stories, the stars or their own lives, so he writes it for them.
