Phoenix Sleeps Over At Edgeworth's Place For The First Time And Makes The Mistake Of Breathing A Bit

what are some of your favorite wesker/leon headcanons???

One of my favorite headcanons (and something I really want to turn into a short fic) is rookie Leon being completely oblivious to how terrifying Captain Wesker is to everyone else at the station. Like, Wesker is brutal with his team, tearing into officers over the smallest mistakes, cold and intense 24/7. But with Leon? He’s patient, helpful, even kind. And Leon, bless him, just assumes that’s how Wesker always is and having no idea why everyone acts so scared of the “sweet and helpful Captain.”

Apart from that:

• Leon doesn’t have to be the strong one with Wesker

He’s always the hero, always the one people lean on. But with Wesker, he doesn’t have to be. For once, someone takes care of him, no expectations, no pressure. Just quiet support and the safety to fall apart if he needs to.

• Wesker loves showing Leon off

Walking beside him like a prize. Everyone wants Leon and Wesker drinks in their envy like wine.

• Wesker is obsessed with Leon’s thighs

Especially when he uses them to take someone down. It’s a whole thing.

• Wesker has a full skincare routine. Leon uses 3-in-1

It drives Wesker insane.

• Leon having a praise kink. Wesker exploits it

A well-placed “good boy” and Leon’s done.

• Wesker talks Leon through panic attacks

Grounding voice, steady hands. No judgment, just calm, quiet support.

• Wesker melts when Leon plays with his hair or scratches his scalp

He acts unbothered, but the second Leon’s fingers are in his hair, he subtly leans in and goes still, he's just a big cat.

• People assuming Wesker is Leon’s sugar daddy

Leon gets flustered and denies it every time, but Wesker just smirks and plays along, offering to “buy him something pretty” right in front of them.

• Leon secretly finds Wesker’s superhuman strength and speed insanely hot

He knows he shouldn’t be turned on when Wesker throws someone across a room or moves faster than physics allows, but he absolutely is.

• They’re an unstoppable team in the field

They move in perfect sync, like they’ve been fighting together for years, silent communication, perfect timing, complete trust. Leon’s instincts and agility paired with Wesker’s brute force and speed make a perfect match

• Leon hates when an “oh god” slips out during sex

Because he knows, knows, Wesker lives for it. The smug, satisfied smirk that follows? Infuriating. Wesker doesn’t even pretend to be humble about it. Leon swears he sees the man’s ego inflate in real time, the arrogant bastard.

If you couldn’t tell from all this, I’m clearly a sucker for fluff, lol

...wesker hcs for a reader who's very into microbiology and bacteriology? :D maybe while Wesker is more virology and bioweaponry practical production, they're more extremophile production and exploring the siberian permafrost for viable specimens? (it'd be fun if they weren't aware of what their research was truly being used on)

Sorry it took so long, I've been in a horrible writer's block. I tried to get this as accurate to the ask as possible, enjoy!

Okay, now this is a tricky one. With a reader that’s into microbiology, bacteriology, or any other similar field, Wesker would probably find you worth keeping around.

He’s definitely attracted to intelligence more than anything. Man's a sapiosexual--

100% intends to experiment on you to see if you can withstand Uroboros.

Most likely keeps you in the dark of what he’s using all this research for. Would cook up a believable story to keep you blindfolded.

If you find out and are unwilling to help him in his research, too bad, because he’s keeping you anyway.

Of course, if you’re all for it, even better for him and you. Less of a hassle.

Anyhow, he wouldn’t let that happen. He’d keep everything under wraps. Platonic or otherwise. Borderline possessive in the sense that he’d pay you so well and allow you to access such a broad range of landscapes/resources that you wouldn’t otherwise, just to keep you working with him and only him.

On the contrary, if you are great in your respective field, expect clashes with his ego. 

Whatever specimens you found would help him with his bioweaponry, which he likes.

He could use them to further strengthen his own projects.

Though, he’d be to the point, and wouldn’t beat around the bush. He would make you wonder if he even had hobbies outside of his work.

He wouldn’t make small talk except for when he needs to string you along. Just to keep you curious and wanting more.

If you two were dating, he’d talk more. Otherwise, it’d be like he is with Birkin. Not an overly friendly situation. Just associates.

He would also find your research on extremophiles intriguing, because that’s more specimens for his bioweaponry and viral research to interact with.

Your research, focused on microorganisms that thrive in environments such as the Siberian permafrost, fascinates him because it touches on the limits of biological survival; Something he finds relevant to his own work with his plan of global saturation with the Uroboros.

He never acknowledges the darker side of Umbrella’s projects directly to you, keeping everything focused on "pure" science, but there’s always a slight sense that he’s hiding something. He enjoys watching you work with the specimens, often making the occasional calculated comment about their potential, though it’s always vague enough to avoid giving anything away.

Relationship-wise, definitely HEAVY on the slow-burn. He wouldn’t rush anything. You’d slowly start noticing the tension in his eyes, even behind those black lenses of his. He’d start being around more. 

Rest assured that it’d be far from healthy– But that’s the fun with Wesker, I suppose. 

If Uroboros worked on you, more reason for him to find you worth keeping. Do expect him to keep you under wraps. He can’t have anyone find out about his prized scientist.

give me your post-viral wesker physical/bodily hcs please. what's he look like in there... do you have any pg67 function headcanons. the masses must know! (if you want to share, of course... i saw biology and i ran in here)

Okay so first of all congratulations, because with this question you accidentally triggered two of my fixations, resident evil lore and biology. So naturally I spent way too much time thinking about this at a molecular level, and emerged with a little manifesto on 'what the virus does to Wesker'.

Okay, lets get into it!

The virus inserts viral DNA directly into the host’s genome, permanently altering Wesker's genetic code. It targets specific stem cell populations to overwrite genetic instructions. These new genes code for synthetic proteins that give his body enhanced abilities. The virus functions similarly to an engineered gene therapy vector, but instead of fixing a mutation, it adds entirely new capabilities:

Healing Factor

• Wesker’s body heals stupidly fast. Bullet wounds seal up in real time. It’s not just fast, it’s efficient. No scar, no bruise, just gone. That’s because of proteins, that promote extreme tissue regeneration by accelerating transcription of growth factors.

• The viral DNA triggers production of proteins that upregulate mitochondrial efficiency. So his cells are constantly in overdrive, replicating and regenerating at insane speeds. That kind of process would literally melt a normal person from the inside out, but the virus keeps him juuuuust stable enough to survive it.

• That means he burns through nutrients and energy at an insane rate. But he still eats very little because his body has learned to metabolize efficiently.

• Because of this, he doesn’t get sick. Like, ever. No flu, no fever, nothing. His immune system probably nukes bacteria before they finish replicating.

Strength

• A key viral protein might mimic myostatin inhibitors, increasing muscle mass without bulk, think insane strength in a lean frame.

• He could punch a hole in reinforced steel if he wanted to, but the scary part is that he doesn’t. He holds back all the time. He can crack a man’s ribs with one hand, or gently zip up your jacket without pulling the tab off.

• His control is off the charts. He’s not just strong, he’s precise. Every movement is calculated.

Eyesight & Senses

• He sees more than most people. Infrared, low light, motion trails, his vision is layered. The world probably looks like a high-contrast heatmap half the time.

• That’s why he wears sunglasses 24/7. Not just for the aesthetic (though let’s be real, it’s working), but to help with light sensitivity. Without them, he’d probably get visual overload in a well-lit room. (Okay, Gojo Satoru)

• His hearing is sharp too. Not supernatural, but he can pick up your heartbeat if you're close enough. It makes sneaking up on him borderline impossible.

The PG67A/W Serum

• The serum is a lifeline. The virus is unstable on its own, the host cells try to over-replicate or misfire signals, leading to cellular death or mutation.

• PG67A/W likely acts as a suppressor or regulator, binding to specific viral receptors or feedback loops, controlling gene expression and inhibitory enzyme systems to keep certain proteins from overexpressing.

• He doses every 6 to 8 hours. He keeps spares on him at all times. If he’s on a mission, he builds his entire schedule around those injections.

• He hides injection sites on his inner thigh, shoulder, or hip, places easy to reach but not visible.

Body Temperature

• His body runs hot. Like, unnaturally warm to the touch, like 39°C on a normal day. You could probably use him as a space heater.

• He doesn’t sweat much, but if he’s pushing his limits, the heat builds up fast. He’ll disappear for a cold shower or just stand in front of an AC vent for five minutes without saying anything.

• Resting heart rate? Low. Like athlete-low, sometimes around 40 bpm. But if he moves into combat mode, it spikes instantly. Controlled tachycardia, probably tied to the virus.

Time Perception & Reflexes

• The virus likely alters neurotransmitter uptake and synaptic plasticity, enhancing reaction time and cognition. It increases dopamine and norepinephrine sensitivity, creating hyper-alertness without overstimulation.

• Neural conduction speed may be boosted by: enhanced myelination of neurons. Modified ion channels that allow faster action potential firing.

• The result? Time feels slower to him. His brain processes information so fast that everything else seems like it’s moving in slow motion. That’s why he reacts before you even finish blinking.

• But it’s also exhausting in a subtle way. Conversations feel slow. Meetings drag. He lives in a world that’s slightly out of sync.

Mutation Risk

• He’s constantly on the edge. The virus wants to take over, it wants him to evolve into something monstrous. He keeps that in check with raw willpower and serum, but it’s always there.

• He has nightmares about it. Not dying, mutating. Losing himself.

Aging

• The virus triggers production of novel proteins that tabilize telomeres.

• His aging basically stopped. He should be pushing 50, but he still looks like he’s in his late 30s at most.

Touch & Intimacy

• His body doesn’t regulate hormones quite the same anymore. He can feel arousal, desire, etc., but it’s slower to build and hits harder when it does.

• And his stamina...He doesn’t get tired, doesn’t lose focus, and has total control over his body. He can go for hours without so much as breaking a sweat, and he’s frustratingly composed the whole time

Pain Response

• The virus likely alters his nervous system, especially the nociceptors.

• Instead of fully shutting off pain, it modulates the intensity, filtering it through a “useful or not” lens.

• So he still feels pain, but it’s dulled. A knife wound feels like pressure. A gunshot is just an annoyance.

• He can weaponize it too. Take a hit, stay standing, stare you down without even flinching, smile on his face, it’s terrifying. And he knows it.

Anyway. That’s the gist of what I think is going on inside Wesker’s terrifyingly efficient, (incredibly attractive) body. Please note:

• I did have microbiology, but I’m studying environmental science.

• I am not a virologist or Umbrella scientist (tragic, I know), just someone who thinks too hard about fictional men with god complexes.

• Also, I had to use a translator for like 40% of the fancy terms because my English science vocab just noped out halfway through. So if something sounds too text book, blame the language barrier

Thank you for enabling me, lol
