I want THULE Au but for the TLH Era
Lucie and Grace are lesbian witches who fall in love raising Jesse and instead of going back to the Shadowhunters Lucie embraces her Warlock side and becomes a powerful Necromancy witch (with a ghost cult)
Grace has a lab where she studies magic in combination with science and she becomes a powerful potioneer.
Lucie isn’t immortal but she does have an extended lifespan from her Warlock blood (like 300 yrs and she is able to use her power to extend Grace’s lifespan too) and so she’s still alive during the modern Blackthorns era and they carry on Lucie and Grace’s legacy of magic, necromancy, + dark magic research.
James also embraces his shadow warlock side to. He learns how he can travel through demon dimensions and Belials realm returns and he has power over it.
Cordelia gets rid of Belial while being Lilith’ Palladin, and James is able to use the gun and his powers to banish Lilith to Pandemonium so theb James and Cordelia have control over Edom and Belial’s Realm.
Matthew is with them and Heronfairstairs is real. So James and Matthew are also in love and they have the power of true nephilim on their sides as well. They anchor each other and they have James’ magic on their sides that prevents them from burning up.
Anna and Ari become vampires. Why? Just bc. They become leaders in downworld. Anna becomes the new Camille but better. She and Ari go to New York in the twenties.
Thomas and Alastair support Cordelia and James and become leaders of the London Institute.

The Last Hours of a Herondale
Ch.1 Better Angels
Tumblr media
Pair: Matthew Fairchild x reader
Words: 2k
Summary: James' twin sister, just like him and Lucie has an unexplained ability, she sees visions of the past and the future occasionally when she touches an object or a person. What happens though, when she sees herself dying?
Warning: maybe blood?
I was surveying the demon battle; I didn’t ponder much as my twin brother and his Parabatai danced with the demon. I was sitting ready to intervene in case it was necessary, I had a bad feelings and unfortunately my gut was usually not mistaken.
James disappeared once again, it used to happen a lot more than that, and it would keep happening to him. The moment he was out of sight I jumped down from the rooftop I was observing. Before I landed I heard Matt’s scream, I immediately took out my whip slapping it in the air as the electricity. I didn’t know if my brother was back and I couldn’t care less about the usual catchphrase Matt would mock me with before running into a battle “Sit back and watch how it’s done”. He is my brother’s Parabatai, namely, the same as James. I was holding Matthew’s stele at the ceremony.
“Dodge” I exclaimed as I had the demon still for some moments, I took out a dagger and threw it at the demon. Matt followed my instruction without further notice.
My plan though didn’t work out for long as the demon escaped the tie of my whip letting me fall backwards.
“Y/N/N!” Matt exclaimed and turned at me, he was actually worried.
“I won’t break Matt, where did the demon go?” I asked and stood up and stepped forward as I activated the voyance rune upon my wrist.
“Lurked back into the shadows” he spoke up confidently. Matt paced further in the dark alley and the demon hissed loudly and gripped his shoulders tightly. He screamed as the demon managed to dug its nails to his shoulders, its mouth opened up in four and he hissed to his face as I leaped on its back and stabbed it with a seraph blade but before its blade could dug through its skull its head turned 180 degrees, its stinky breath straight to my face.
Moments flashed and I saw my brother be back. Deumas roared again and pressured the blade to its chest yelling the angels name, but once he threw Matt off of him and then its attention turned to me, James was already there, he swung his arm back pulling my seraph sword out as I fell on my back in the shadows.  James looked like he was losing it.
“James!” I yelled, unaware if he heard me, the demon slapped him as he seemed to disorientate. I groaned in pressure as I prevented another hit to my brother with my daggers. Suddenly the demon was swept off his feet, three chords wrapped around its legs pulling it backwards. It was Thomas standing behind us with his bolas. Thomas was tall and had a massive physique.
“I am alright” my brother assured me and I dodged to the side retrieving my weapon and returning it on my belt. I let my whip loose again and trapped its upper body as Thomas was still holding it in place. With the corner of my eye I noticed Christopher helping Matt, before I returned to the demon that soon burst out in an explosion of ichor and demon blood that showered me and everyone else but my brother.
“Matthew, Y/N-.” My brother begun and as I was wiping the slime from my cloths.
“How- Wha-?” Christopher shuttered and I raised an eyebrow.
“Do you mean how we tracked down the last demon in London?” James asked as he carefully offered me a napkin. “Or that it is also the most disgusting thing?” I was surprised on how calm and normal his voice sounded. I knew he was innerly shaking.
“Or that James managed to make us a mess and yet stay out of it.” I commented to lighten the atmosphere as I wiped the last bit of ichor from under my chin there was a small burn mark from it there. He was the only one untouched.
I saw Thomas roll his eyes in annoyance as he was covered in ichor as Matthew sputtered the seraph blade that defused. “This is an outrage” he commented tossing the weapon aside. “Do you know how much I spent on this waistcoat?” he asked with annoyance and complaint.
“Plus no one told you to go demon hunting dressed like an extra from the Importance of being Earnest” James pointed out, he handed another napkin to his parabatai as well. He was standing between us.
Thomas spoke commenting on Matt as well. Therefore I didn’t hear him. “James, your hand…” I noticed a gash across his palm, I took out my stele and touched his at hand. He removed himself from his grip looking at me for any sign of seizure but I pointed at my gloves and smiled as I drew an iratze. It was usually Matt’s work, but it was only a gash.
Us twins had our very own gift as our parents call it trying to convince us it is not a curse,  though nor me neither my brother feel it like a gift, it is an uncontrolled ability we have, that activates randomly. James changes dimensions, he comes back though, his episodes do not last this long and there is nothing we can usually do as he physically disappears. I on the other hand, see visions, usually unclear and enigmatic concerning the object or the person I came in contact with. While I see those dreams, I am falling into a sort of seizure. This happens since I am ten, my uncle Jem though, gifted me a pair of enchanted gloves to wear and I have to admit that it has been helpful.
“Thomas! Stop scrubbing at me” Christopher said, windmilling his arms. “We should go back to the Devil and get cleaned there.”
“I agree, its starting to get chilly.” I spoke and secured my stele inside my pocket. Matt looked at me and removed his fancy waist coat and placed it around my shoulders gently.
“Care to tell me how much you spent on it?” I asked in a mocking way as everyone started walking to the Devil’s Tavern.
“Its useless now either way” Matt replied as I wrapped it better around me while we were walking there. I rarely went to the Devil, it was a hide out, a safe spot for my brother and his friends. I knew it wasn’t true but I felt as I intruded… Maybe because this is how I felt when someone invaded my atelier or music room.
“I almost didn’t recognize the lot of you when you tramped in here covered in whatever you call it…” The waitress commented and I looked at her, Polly I think it was her name. There were welcome exclamations galore, the boys were really loved around here, fairly though.
“Its been ages since we have seen a demon in London” said James
“I reckon they are all too scared to show their faces…” Polly spoke.
“Scared?” James asked confused. The rest of the boys were spread across the Tavern, Christopher and Thomas went to eat and drink some water, while I saw Matt bottoming up a whole glass of a brownish liquid which was one hundred per cent alcohol. 
“Scared of what?” I wondered and her gaze fell upon me. She wrinkled her nose, a werewolf she is, she probably smelled ichor, blood and sandalwood upon me.
“And what a beauty like you is doing in such dirty shit hole.” She spoke, obviously avoiding my question.
“You have seen me before…” I commented puzzled at the reaction of the wolf. She extended her hand and gripped my chin lightly and turned my head to the side. I felt my breath be caught upon my chest, intention was good as she dragged her finger behind my ear taking a drop of ichor.
Within seconds James gripped Polly’s wrist and threw it away from me. I turned to my twin, I knew he was there but I was not there, I could see a girl, Polly, go down an alley, she was so carefree and happy until the person next to her suddenly started to change. She would scream and shout for help but the eldest werewolf didn’t seem to be phased, he simply bit her. I squeezed my eyes, I couldn’t watch and therefore there she was, young Polly, her expression twisted in pain and agony from the lycanthropy infection. I opened my eyes again and I could see, or more like sense my brother, he was calm, it was a usual thing for me. I would be alright in about five minutes. I let out a soft cry I was surveying Polly turn into a werewolf for the first time. It felt like forever until I shot up.
I looked around, I found myself into the attic of the Merry Thieves, it was a small space with one bedroom. I was laying on the bed while I still had Matthew’s coat as a blanket over me. I took my time to make myself obvious and I caught an interesting conversation about ‘Grace’
“Her name is Grace” said James, a hint of annoyance upon his voice. I could smell the gin on him as he was sitting on the bed next to me.
“Exactly, Grace” Agreed Thomas “Aunt Tatiana’s always kept them both in splendid isolation in Idris- no visitors at all- but apparently she’s decided to move back to London, so my parents are all in a dither about it” he explained and this unlocked so many memories of our childhood times in Idris where James would secretly go to meet Grace. I did not like her that much as I got along better with Barbara Lightwood, Thomas’ eldest sister.
“Grace? To London?” James asked in complete disorientation.
“Seems Tatiana wants to bring her out in society” Thomas looked puzzled at my brother’s reaction. “I suppose you’ve met her in Idris? Your house is next to the Blackthorn manor, isn’t it?” It was true, We used to meet her every Summer.
There were moments of silence as there was no one responding so it was the time to make the fact that I returned to reality known. “And where will she stay?” I asked the thing my twin wouldn’t dare and I felt his relief wash over his figure as he turned at me.
“Hello there” James smiled at me and patted my knee as I was curled in a ball under Matt’s coat.
“Are you feeling alright? You seemed to doze off at Polly’s charms” Math’s voice sounded smooth and sweet as he joked with me.
“I will live, apparently” I smiled lightly as I felt uncomfortable to speak about Polly. “Too bad for your coat, you won’t have it back today.” I added and curled in a ball under it. It had his smell.
“No worries, it was disposable after James’ smart move” Matthew replied with a charming smile and he patted my head gently.
“Awee how sweet of you” spoke up with a sigh. I felt lightheaded as I sat up, making an effort to balance my head. James held my shoulders not attempting to touch me again, afraid that there would be another episode.
“Your hand…” I noticed as it seemed that my iratze didn’t work as needed.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Matthew asked and his slim but muscular hand slipped out his stele. I could see his veins as he was preparing his stele.
Thomas approached me with a toast and I chuckled lightly as he offered it to me. “You something bad for Polly, didn’t you?” he asked me. Math and Jame were further but I could notice that they were listening to me.
“I did, but I am actually used to seeing bad things” I explained and certainly did not deny the fact that I was hungry too much. “This is pretty good” I smiled at my cousin as he poured some water in a glass.
“I don’t mean to be the first one to leave a party” announced I, so as to get their attention “however I shall be making my way to the institute.” I spoke up and James seemed to dislike the idea.
“Perhaps you should stay for a bit and then we can return together.” My brother remarked and looked at me. I was trying to understand was it he was fearing fathers wrath or he was extremely worried about me.
“No, I’d rather not” I smiled at him “Do not concern yourself James. I will be completely fine. I promise.” I sat up taking my time to stand up from the old wooden bed of the attic. Thomas was right next to me, I am certain he was pondering where to support me if needed without jeopardizing to have another episode.
“How exactly do you expect me to do that, when you just had an episode” he remarked as he approached me once Math was done drawing an iratze rune upon his skin
“And you had an episode of your own as well and with us not knowing what was the cause of it. At least with me you saw it coming.” I spoke with my voice raising by the note. I was so disturbed by the fact that he considered the incident with me so much more important  than his even though it was considered during battle.
“Y/N!” he exclaimed.
“James!” I yelled back almost immediately, it was a reflect that took over and I could not control. I knew that I was supposed to be the delicate girl amongst the boys that were mostly friends of my brother. Nevertheless I could not stand the unfairness of the matter. I was the girl he was the boy we were in the same danger and our troubled moments were just as random and I could not fathom the fact he was being the same phallocratic male like the ones were asking for my hand were.
I started walking to the exit of the attic and Matthew got my elbow. I tried to conserve my gaze therefore I just couldn’t help and stare at him, deadly. “I am going home on my own! I am pretty capable of doing so and I do not need anyone to protect me or my honor. In case it wasn’t noticed I saved Math twice just some hours earlier when you had one hell of a random disappearance to God knows where. Perhaps papa would be interested in a more detailed version of tonight’s success.” I stated, my angry gaze met James’ who’s blood I could feel boiling.
“You wouldn’t dare.” He growled, his teeth greeted and his jaw clenched, his outfit was still well-stood unlike mine. I looked like I was in a battle indeed, my hair tucked in a messy bun with all the braids rogue and my clothes filled with stains and scratches.
“Well, I thought you wouldn’t dare to imply that I wouldn’t make it home alone… And yet here we stand.” I spoke up and threw the coat at Matthew who caught it.
“No keep it, I will come until some point, I need some quality bourbon not this, whatever it is.” Matthew spoke and walked out.
“Whatever” I shrugged my shoulders and walked out of the attic. I knew this would calm down James, just as I knew Matthew would trust me, even though he looks like he doesn’t care at all about me or anyone for that matter…

Some more post canon chain of thorns theories:
Cordelia and James have at least 4 children.
The fairchild twins are girls and marry Alex Lightwood and Zachary Carstairs
Anna and Kamala have the next largest family, but they take the joshi last name, and they are the desendents in the Dark Artifices series.
Gabriel and Cecily move back into the London Institute with Alex.
Lucie and Jesse only have one or two children. Lucie is a little absent-minded when it comes to her kid(s), but Jesse is very attententive. Maybe this is why great Aunt Marjorie is so distant and down right rude and resentful.
Euginea becomes a downworlder, possibly a vampire.
Matthew would be my next guess on his journeys.
Thomas and Alastair don't have children but are the favorite uncles of all the others children.
This makes Matthew flabbergasted.
Grace, Alastair, and Jesse become part of the merry thieves.
Grace never marries or feels anything like she did for christoper, but she still lives a happy and full life with their friends.
Ari (kamala), Anna, Alastair, and Thomas go on double dates, alot.
As do thomastair and jordelia.
And ghostwriter and thomastair.
And jordelia and ghostwriter.
Eugenia likes to tag along on these with thomastair and/or Arianna.
What do you think of Eugenia and Matthew as a couple? Just a thought.

The Last Hours as Midnights 3am edition
bigger than the whole sky : grace and jesse
“Did some force take you because I didn’t pray? Every single thing to come has turned to ashes. ‘Cause it’s all over, it’s not meant to be. So I’ll say the words I don’t believe. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. You were bigger than the whole sky.”
paris : thomas and alastair (i mean obviously)
“We were in Paris. We were somewhere else. Privacy sign on the door, and on my page and on the whole world. Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours. Levitate above all the messes made. Sit quiet by my side.”
high infidelity : grace and james
“Storm coming. Good husband. Bad omen. Dragged my feet right down the aisle. At the house lonely. Good money. I’d pay if you’d just know me. Seemed like the right thing at the time.”
glitch : anna and ariadne
“I was supposed to sweat you out. In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else’s playground. But it’s been two thousand one hundred and 90 days of our love blackout. The system’s breaking down.”
dear reader : matthew
“Never take advice from someone who’s, falling apart. So I wander through these nights. I prefer hiding in plain sight. My fourth drink in my hand. These desperate prayers of a cursed man.”
BONUS*
would’ve, could’ve, should’ve: jessamine
“And now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering. God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be. The tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in my mind. I regret you all the time.”
BONUS*
the great war : HERONGRAYSTAIRS
will & jem: “I vowed not to cry anymore if we survived the Great War. You drew up some good faith treaties. I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone. You said I have to trust more freely, but diesel is desire. You were playing with fire. And maybe it’s the past that’s talking.”
will & tessa: “My knuckles were bruised like violets, sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked. Spineless in my tomb of silence. Tore your banners down, took the battle underground. And maybe it was egos swinging. Maybe it was her. Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur.”
tessa & jem: “It was war, it wasn’t fair. And we will never go back to that bloodshed, crimson clover. Uh-uh, the worst was over. My hand was the one you reached for, all throughout the Great War. Always remember, uh-uh we’re burned for better. I vowed I would always be yours.”

Okay i don't know about y'all but i NEED to know the fucking family tree
Like Ari and Anna are said to be wanting to adopt a child at the end of ChoT, and Alastair and Thomas having kids (and i quote): "saved as a hazy future question"
Also the one to continue the fairchild line is Matthew, right??
Technically we do have the Herondale line for both of the current Herondales (Kit and Jace)
But I'd really like to know about the Blackthorns and the Lightwoods and all the other families, because there are like a thousand wronged (and cringy to be honest) family trees out there
So Cassandra, babe, do it for real, it can be that hard if you already have the starters of the lines (TLH Gang)

TLH ship
I know this might not be very popular among TSC fans but Cordelia and Anna had a lot of potential. They had really great chemistry 🥹. The part where Anna gets Cordelia all those beautiful dresses and Sona thought it was from James nobody found that attractive? She’s the first person to approach her in that picnic and took the effort to get to really know her. Invites her to her flat, looks out for her and gives her advice. Anna makes Cordelia smile and laugh many times. IMO they had better chemistry than James and Cordelia.

"We all carry a light inside ourselves. It burns with the flame of our souls. But there are other people in our lives who add their own flames to ours, creating a brighter conflagration. James is special. He has always burned bright. But when he looks at you, his light blazes up like a bonfire."

My friends didn’t believe me when I said my fantasy book has a more complex love “triangle” than their romance novels. So I made a flowchart.

I want to write a modern TLH university AU with Heronchild as the main ship and major focus on Gracetopher. All the professors are our favourite warlocks. Bridgestock, Claude and Charles are the local assholes. The gang all have their own aesthetics and subjects that they study. Like, Anna does fashion, Thomas has been into Romance languages ever since he spent a year in Spain during high school, Kamala and Alastair are both musically talented and basically the gay best friends of the faculty, Cordelia is a free spirit who takes no one’s shit, does fencing in her free time and runs the chess club. Matthew is the messed up rich kid studying art history, even though his parents are accomplished in politics and science and he’s got major issues about being the black sheep of the family. The Herondales are a really sweet middle class family, Tessa is a respected professor and Will is the principal of a local high school and all the kids love his PE classes. Their children both love books, though James is more into the classics while Lucie is a cottage core queen who wants to become a writer. She recently started dating Jesse, who began working after he got his GSCE to support himself and Grace, because they moved out together to escape Tatiana’s abuse. He supports her education and always says that Grace is the smarter out of the two of them, and will be a great scientist one day. She meets Kit through the Herondales, and James meets Matthew through Thomas and Kit, and we get a ton of Heronchild and Gracetopher content.
It’s just that this would take so much time, I’d have to start once finals are over but then I would have all summer and could see were the story takes me. Someone please tell me to do this🙏🥺
