OKAY OKAY OKQU

i keep having really random ideas pop into my head and it’s actually a need to offload them.

I keep thinking about Finnick taking reader (before her games) for a dinner date in the Capitol as that’s where the best restaurants are. it would be their first time going out together and seen by the Capitol Citizens as a couple.

reader is wearing a beautiful dress and Finnick’s jacket is draped over her shoulders and he’s just holding his sweet girl close as citizens surround them as they’re walking to the restaurant together😭😭

idk it’s just so cute to imagine them going to a nice restaurant and just having the most lovely night together and eating delicious food. i definitely feel like there are a bunch of press taking pictures of the two walking together and it’s all over the newspaper about Finnick’s new ‘girl toy’ and speculating whether she will be the one to tie him down for good (she will be)

yes please offload them, I love all of these sm ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

yeah I mentioned in one of the chapters of the lakes that during readers interview ceaser was like "we've seen you before" and she's like o h because she assumed they'd forget. but like when they wanted to a piece on finnick at one of his parties she's always around but her being in the Captiol with him just like jetsets the idea that they're actually together.

finnick is also a teenager so sometimes he just wants to show off to his sweet girl, "I wanna take you out somewhere, angel."

"Finn, you can take me out whenever you want, you know that."

"no, like in the Capitol, a no seafood in sight meal. for your birthday."

"is that even allowed?"

"I'm their darling, they'll make exceptions. plus, it makes good television." he's pecking her on the lips and saying he'll find a way to make it happen. because yes the Captiol already uses him as they see fit, but he's a teenage boy who wants nothing more than to show off his girl and show off to her.

he spends so much time getting someone to make a perfect dress for her, that way Capitol tabloids don't try to tear her apart too harshly and that she'll be amazed when she sees it. and trust she is, also a little peeved because why would he spend that much money on something she'll only ever wear once but he doesn't care because his girl deserves it. he'd prefer to spend all his money on her anyways.

and he's tried all the spots to find the one she'll like the most and preps her for the way cameras are sure to follow them everywhere. but she assures him that she doesn't care as long as she can be with him. as if it's not clear enough he's giving her that jacket as soon as possible to make it even more well known, regardless of the fact his hands are firmly attached to her.

thankfully none of the tabloids are too harsh on her because they're used to her face in the background, she's charismatic, has the 'right' personality for the press. there's a few that try to pin her as a golddigger, but her and finnick don't care about those because they know it's not true. of course they have a field day when they start being seen together less because of the breakup which only hurts finnick more. however the media gets a lovely bow on their story when the two end up together after her games, the star-crossed lovers from district 4.

Miasmaaaaaaaa my uterus is trying to kill meeeeeee

Any chance you have anything related to Dew taking care of a fellow ghoul to cheer me up??

Fucking love you by the way, thanks for being absolutely amazing ❤️

I fucking love YOU, random citizen! Apologies about the uterus, don't let that bastard win!

Sickfic ahoy! I really can't write short shit!

Dew stands at the foot of Rain's bed with his arm crossed, brow creased. He stares at a mountain of blankets on the mattress.

"You in there somewhere, Rain?"

There's a weak groan of acknowledgement and Dew spies a pair of long, pale fingers poking feebly between the layers. Rain had been absent all morning and Dewdrop had taken it upon himself to fetch the water ghoul - they were due to work in the chapel together today anyway, he figured he might as well make the sacrifice of his comfy spot on his couch.

"Dew?" Rain's voice is heavy, thick.

"Yeah." Dew wanders over to the side of the bed, standing on his tiptoes in search of Rain's face. He can't find it, the water ghoul completely covered save those two fingers. "You still asleep? You missed breakfast. Me and Swiss ate your pancakes." Dew prods at the heap and Rain groans.

"No." Dew sees the pile shift as Rain pulls his hand back, the whole mess shuddering. "No sleep. Dead." Dew snorts, sitting on the side of the bed. He pokes at a gap in the blankets and worms his hand into it, searching.

"Dibs on your shit then," Dew teases, digging deeper, searching for skin. Rain is very clearly not dead. He probably just hadn't slept and was being dramatic about it. The water ghoul is notorious for being grumpy without his beauty sleep. "C'mon, get your lazy ass up."

Rain starts to speak but it turns into a sudden, violent coughing fit instead and Dew startles, hopping off the bed with a concerned frown. It sounds bad and he says as much, a pained whimper emanating from the mound of bedding once the hacking quiets down. Okay, Rain's not dead, but clearly also not doing well.

"You sick?" It's not a real question, and Rain doesn't respond. The blankets start to shake and Dew's frown deepens. He leans over, feeling around for Rain's long limbs, working through the layers until he finds the outline of a bony arm. Rain is shivering violently, and even through the bedclothes Dew can feel him radiating a heat to rival his own. "Shit, you're almost as hot as me."

Rain tries to say something but the coughing takes hold again, and a little tangle of panic starts to form in Dew's gut. Low-level and itchy, like the feeling of being away from home and suddenly realizing you forgot to lock the door behind you. He takes a deep breath, then another, making soft shushing sounds and rubbing Rain's arm. This is very much not his area of expertise, and in the back of his mind he's trying to remember what Mountain did when Swiss was sick a few months ago. He doesn't get very far, distracted by Rain's wracking shivers.

Then he remembers, and has to roll his eyes for being so dense.

Dew moves once Rain's labored breathing evens out, leaving his hand in place on Rain's arm while he pulls out his phone and fires off a quick one-handed text to Aether.

D: wet boy sick come help

Their resident healer is currently on kitchen duty and Dew knows it, but the fire ghoul feels far too out of his element to deal with this alone. Aether will come when he can and he knows it. He swallows hard as he tucks the device away, focusing back on the situation at hand.

"Rain? Can you hear me?" There's a pathetic little squeak from the depths of the blanket pile. "I gotta take these off you. You're too warm."

"Nooo," Rain half-sobs, sniffling and curling deeper into his cocoon. "'m freezing, y-you can't take 'em."

The more Rain speaks the worse he sounds. His nose is stuffed, his throat raw, his chest rattling with every strained breath. Dew huffs through his nose and gives Rain's arm a reassuring squeeze.

"Sorry fishstick, not letting you cook yourself today."

Dew yanks back the blankets one by one, and Rain doesn't have the strength to do more than bat at his arm with a tired hand. He whines with each motion, Dewdrop having no choice but to shift his dead-weight limbs in order to unwrap the burrito Rain has made of himself.

"Dew, please," Rain whimpers, "too cold, too cold-"

"I'm workin' on it raincloud, I'm workin' on it," Dew murmurs, finally getting the blankets unwound from around Rain's shoulders. One last tug and Dew can finally see his face - he's pale as the ivory sheets beneath them, seafoam eyes sunken and heavy-lidded. His lips are chapped, mouth turned down at the corners. Dew's frown deepens as he rests his palm on Rain's forehead. "Fuck, you're really burning up."

Rain looks up at him with sad eyes and Dew feels something foreign in his chest ache. He finds himself staring at the water ghoul, grazing a thumb over his scalding cheek and gently dragging his fingers through Rain's sweat-damp hair. Rain's eyes drift shut and Dewdrop lets out a shaky exhale.

"Lemme see what I can do until Aeth gets here, ok?"

Rain groans, cracking one eye open. Dewdrop gives him a crooked little smile and Rain sighs, nodding. He hisses almost immediately.

"Ugh, my fuckin' head," he mumbles, "feels like it's gonna explode, shit."

"I'm gonna get you some water," Dew says, leaning down to press a quick kiss to Rain's roasting forehead before he realizes what he's doing. "I, uh," he stands and Rain whines, curling in on himself and shaking like a leaf, "I dunno if it'll help, but it can't hurt."

"So cold," Rain breathes, like he hadn't even heard Dew, "where's my blankets?" He paws weakly at the bed for a moment before giving up with a sad little sound, drawing his knees to his chest and tucking them under his shirt. He looks so...small. The ache in Dew's chest presses against his ribs.

Dew moves quickly in the bathroom, filling a paper cup with water and dampening a washcloth. He doesn't know if Rain will allow the cold against his skin, but the water ghoul will surely boil away to nothing if he doesn't try. He's back at Rain's side in no time, the ghoul having drifted into that sick kind of sleep that feels impossibly deep. Dew lays the washcloth between Rain's horns and the water ghoul shakes awake with a tight yelp.

"C-cold!" Dew catches Rain's wrist before he can tug the cloth off, laying his arm on the mattress.

"Leave it," he says, bringing the cup to Rain's mouth, "it'll help, I'm pretty sure. Drink some of this, c'mon, you sound like Swiss that one time he chugged vinegar."

Rain tries to wheeze out a laugh, but it just results in a sharp wince. Dew helps support his head as he helps Rain drink, slow sips. Rain flinches with every swallow, but he drinks it all, offering a soft sigh when he's done.

"Need more?"

Dew's frown returns as Rain shakes his head and swallows, licking his lips. He's shivering harder than ever now, muscles jerking wildly. "You're way too fuckin' hot, Rainy." Dew tosses the cup in the trash and pulls out his phone again. Aether hasn't responded. Shit. He has an idea, he just doesn't know if it'll help or harm. He doesn't particularly want to poach Rain like a salmon.

D: hurry if u can, bad fever i think

Rain makes a sound of utter misery and Dew moves automatically to the other side of the bed. He tugs away some of the mass of blankets and dumps them on the floor, making a hole behind Rain and sliding onto the bed as smoothly as he can. Trying not to jostle the water ghoul as he takes off his shirt and slots himself against his spine.

"Gonna try something," he says quietly into the suffering ghoul's ear, "I dunno if it'll work but I gotta try. Aeth should be here soon. Okay?"

Rain shudders and grunts, but after a moment manages to nod. Dew pulls the now-warm washcloth from Rain's head and tosses it away, replacing it with his hand. The water ghoul's eyes slip shut as Dew's other arm wraps around his waist, sliding under his shirt, palm coming to rest in the center of Rain's chest. He coughs again and Dew rests his forehead at the back of Rain's neck.

"Tell me if it hurts or anything."

Dewdrop is not a quintessence ghoul. He can't resonate with another ghoul's body and pick out what's hurt. He can't slide into Rain's core and sap away his fever like Aether can. But his fire isn't without its own benefits.

Dew closes his eyes and reaches into the heat beneath Rain's skin, feeling the way it pulses through his veins. It's a sick heat, thick like a too-humid summer day. Dew breathes deep and focuses, pushing his own brand of warmth into Rain's feverish flesh. It's a comforting heat, a muted fire on a winter morning, and it floods into Rain's entire being in comforting waves.

It's a risk, raising Rain's temperature, but ghouls are resilient, and when Rain relaxes in his arms Dew knows it was worthwhile. Rain's shivers die down bit by bit, and soon enough he's still. He's stretched his legs out and Dew has tangled them with his own, distributing his heat more evenly. Rain is breathing a bit more steadily now too, and Dew sighs as he adjusts his own temperature. Rain leans back against him.

"Thank you," he croaks, desert dry, "better."

"Shh," Dew says, pressing another soft kiss into Rain's sweaty hair without a second thought, "don't talk or anything, you need to rest. Hopefully Aether gets here quick."

Rain sighs and nods, bringing a heavy hand to rest over Dew's on his chest. Dew hums against his skin, soothing. It's something Aether does for him when he can't sleep, and it seems to help Rain too. He slackens in Dew's arms, breaths going gentle if rattling, but it's something at least. Dew lets his own eyes fall shut, drifting on the thud of Rain's heart against his callused fingertips.

That's how Aether finds them an hour or so later, skidding into the bedroom with his phone still in his hand, Dew's messages on display. They both snore, Rain louder than Dew, congested, as Aether catches his breath. He can't help but smile at the sight. Seeing Dew so obviously caring is a rare thing.

He'll pull Rain's fever away in a few minutes, but first he has to capture the moment on his phone. A beautiful memory for his eyes only. Dew would throttle him if he ever found it. Aether thinks it's worth the risk.

"I'm not from the US" i ask you 5 and 16

And sending you kisses because you're a cutie pie 🌹🕊

Thank you for the ask beloved! 🫶🫶

5-favourite song in your native language?

Ok so I’m not sure how to answer this question, bc if you ask me my favourite song *in french* the answer WILL ALWAYS be La lumière by Pomme 😌😌 but if we’re talking "my native language" as in QC French specifically, it has to be Les étoiles Filantes by Les cowboys Fringants, which is simply such a beautiful song 🥺🥺 (I actually love it so much I recently did an English Lyric video with the translation bc I think everyone should listen to this song even if they don’t understand french, guys just trust me on this and give it a try 🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺)

16-which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

Ohhh this is a good question 🤔 this one also has different sets of answers if you go by "my country" as in Canada, or as in "Quebec" which is not a country but should be whoop bc we have such a different cultural identity - gonna go with the QC version of this question bc idk what’s going on in the rest of Canada lmao - one stereotype I definitely hate is the French thinking we’re "dumber" or that we "don’t speak real French" bc of our accent and dialect 😒 SHUT UP THERES NO SUCH THING AS REAL FRENCH WHEN THE LANGUAGE EVOLVED AT THE SAME PACE IN OUR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES 😤 and just bc we have more snow than you doesn’t mean we’re somehow lacking in technology???

Trying to think about a stereotype I’ve heard that I agree with is harder LMAO ig that we love poutine? Not the case for every single citizen of course but Poutine IS banging 😌😌😌 legit it’s a huge safe food for me, cause going to random restaurant where none of the menu items look appealing, you know the poutine will always at least be eatable LOL

I SEND YOU KISSIES TOO 🤭🤭❤️❤️❤️

It's the last week of September which means the last week of Su!c!de Awareness and Prevention Month (you should always be mindful even if it's not September but it's still rad there's a month dedicated to it).

I don't talk about it much myself cuz it's pretty personal, but as someone who's attempted a few times I like to imagine I have a decent enough reason to be loud and obnoxious about it :) especially when talking about reasons that I'm happy I didn't end up completing.

For example I never would've seen Luffy unlock Gear 5 😩❤️ I never would've seen Sabo again, or watched the Jurassic World Trilogy. I love those movies so much.

I never would've met my friend M, who is now my irl best friend and possibly the closest friend I've ever had before. She had such a monumental impact on me, I even discovered my career thanks to her encouragement.

I also never would've met some of my closest fandom friends like Kel ❤️ my writing never would have gotten to the level it's at now ❤️ I never would have met my roommate who's definitely part of my found family ❤️ I never would have been able to adopt my little Kotatsu, and who knows where she'd be if I hadn't taken her home?

I never would have gotten the chance to get so many tattoos, and I intend to get many more, so I can't be dying yet either 💪

I'm exhausted and the world is kind of a mess, but I'm not entirely upset I continuously failed to delete myself from the game before it had even gotten good; and I foolishly still have hope that it'll get better. I think I'm too jaded and stubborn to think otherwise anymore. Shit sucks, but one time when I was at the store this random older guy gave me a rose just because (he gave them to everyone in line). And my cat makes squeaky sounds when she yawns. And there's this stray cat I call Bikepath who always comes up to say hi to me when I go on walks. And it rained last Monday. And it's almost Halloween. And I bought myself donuts the other day. And my boss says I was born to be a baker. And my other boss says I make really pretty cupcakes. And I got my roommate the coolest gifts for Christmas and can't wait to see his face when he opens them. And the One Piece Live Action is INCREDIBLE. And Sabo will be showing back up in the anime soon. And I just got a new laptop which has been helping me write more. And Kel bought me my first ever Pokémon game. And coffee is pretty damn delicious. And I saw the chunkier honey bee in the actual world sitting on a sunflower the other day. And I get to see my cat when I get home from work. And I bake cookies and cakes for a living. And I've been self funding tons of Sabo themed enamel pins lately and I need all of them finished and in my hands. And did I mention Sabo? Oh yeah and Dragon too. And One Republic put out a 2023 version of Counting Stars that fucking kills. And the band Citizen Soldier exists.

Things are okay I guess.

Hi there! I did see a post about your requests being open but since you are busy please do take your time with all the requests you get sent, please take care of yourself !!

I was wondering if I could put in a request for headcanons about Garou with a girlfriend that is an extremely powerful psychic? Like she’s quite intelligent and she can use pyrokinesis and telekinesis extremely well in combat and is even strong enough to rival a dragon level threat monster? (Bonus points for the reader only shows her fun side around him after a while bc ✨trust issues✨)

I hope this isn’t too much

Thank you and have a good one <3

[P.S: I love your work sm your Garou headcanons always make my day 😭💖]

Ok firstly thank you sm for all the nice words here you’re so sweet 🥺🥺💞💓💗 Getting this message in my inbox made me smile ee I hope you’re taking care of yourself as well! ❤️

Second, duuuude if I got a penny for every time I thought of esper!reader scenarios- 😂💕

Idk what else to say except this is just perfect!! I had to write this right away sjkjhddfjkf

Tysm for the request (and kindness) ahh I really enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoy too 🤧💕

Garou x Psychic! Reader (headcanons)

-I’ll leave the “how did he and the reader meet and how did he find out about her powers (if she isn’t a hero)” part to the reader’s imagination so let’s start with the relationship in general

-Even in his childhood he lowkey wondered what is it like for psychics in the world

-Oftentimes it almost seemed like taking a glance at a different dimension. Controlling matter with mind, receiving psychic signals, levitating, flying… the list could go on forever

-And after taking a look at you and your mind-boggling talent one can only be left in awe

-You’re well familiar with the contrasting reactions of people. Not always will they be cheering you on, looking at you in all your glory that you deserve. Countless petrified expressions and nasty motives have left their fair share in making you the person you are today too

-After some things happened, how can you trust anyone truly? Sometimes it burdens you more than it should

-However, if anyone understands that part it’s him. To be misunderstood your whole life, living in your own world

-Never pressured you with opening up, especially not at the beginning. Getting him to open up would be even more difficult, so he digs that type of thing

-When it comes to that the two of you are pretty much the same and just started showing your true colors after realizing one wouldn’t hurt the other

-After getting comfortable with one another you turned into a couple of goofballs

-Is this a match made in heaven? Sure seems like it

-Not only do you mess around and talk about the most random things in general but often you goof around with your powers as well

-If it’s you two combined then the city better hope it’s further away because when I tell you y’all are having a blast I mean it

-The fact you’re skilled with pyrokinesis definitely helps

-What your average citizen might shit his pants for, you guys are just there vibing

-A simple game of softball would legit look like a scene from Street Fighter

-Also occasional friendly sparring is a thing! (if you both feel like it of course)

-With both of you being quite sharp-witted, nothing is ever boring, be it talk or messing around, and to top it off you also learn a lot from each other

-More than once you explained some things about esp to an attentive Garou, who on the other hand wouldn’t hesitate to try and explain anything you were interested in as well (that he has knowledge and experience in of course)

-Wouldn’t ask you things about esp just because he thinks it’s cool. I mean, it is hella cool but he genuinely wants to understand you better just as you try to understand him

-Time and time again he’d just sit there listening carefully to you, trying not to smile too much because he feels so at ease

-It may not be every second, but he never hesitates to give you an honest compliment or two (bonus points if you get a bit flustered)

-And whenever he sees you fighting or helping someone out he can’t help but feel so proud of you

-Even if he doesn’t say it that softie “that’s my girl” look on his face gives it all away

okay uh, chapter 5 first!

I finally got around to reading it Wednesday night/Thursday afternoon so yeah

ok lets goooo

nooo, dreams :((

oh shit invu by Taeyeon came on wow beautiful

the song wow

ew don't go back home stay with Magnus

There is an ache in his chest.

Not the bad kind he is used to, but the good kind.

He wants to feel it forever.

He doesn’t want to let go.

babe I hate to break it to you-

Alec wanting to comfort Magnus 🥺

Magnus definitely wants to be held

HOLD HIM YOU COWARD

sleepy Magnus is so cute omg

He has noticed this about Magnus. He is particularly needy in the morning - especially if he had a nightmare the night before.

y'all adorable

He wants them to ask those questions. And he wants to respond with “Sorry I can’t make it. I’m busy with my boyfriend.”

well, you will be able to do it after the next chapter so-

hehe

How can Alec call Magnus ‘baby’ so naturally and yet have a fucking existential crisis over calling him ‘boyfriend’?

Y'all fucking adorable

also yeah he definitely wants to be your boyfriend

oo jace

they're so cute omg

oo gifts

“But I have been a good boy, haven’t I?”

I CHOKED-

oh nooo

oh shit he said it's instinctual

that is quite worrying

ah yes Peru

I mean we still have no clue what happened

oh no no too much shit there shh no one's going back to Cambridge shush

Magnus doesn't share anything Bane and Alec oversharer Lightwood

y'all-

ooo nice

Albany is so quiet and for what?

AYYY THEY ARE AT THE PLACE

YKNOW

THEIR FUTURE HOUSE

ahem

alec's future house

“Oh,” Magnus says and looks at the place. “So, like, someone’s house?”

Yes

ayy they're gonna go in

"Giving tours," Magnus clarifies. "This is someone's home. It feels like we are intruding."

"Well, technically, this is government property," Alec elaborates. "Also, isn't it cool to share your home with others? To share this important part of yourself?"

no wait I agree with Magnus

honestly if a bunch of random people just walked into my house I would be very uncomfortable

I hate this trope. the whole "pretending to be friends when we're dating because we're gay"

fuck people

hi Leslie!

it's really cute that he drove here every week

“So,” Magnus rocks back and forth on his feet as they head to the main balcony. “Why did you bring me here? What’s your secret, Lightwood? You have a fantasy about banging someone here?”

Alec chuckles and shakes his head.

Although the banging bit doesn’t sound that bad either. Alec files it away for later.

it definitely comes true

ew American politics

so complicated and for what??

mhm sure mumbo jumbo

okay this makes sense

“Because New York is home,” Alec replies. “I want my job to be realistic, Magnus. I know New York like the back of my hand. I know what it needs, and I know how to make it better. If I am a senator, I’ll be the state’s representative in the federal government. I’ll get to vote on bills and work with the Senate – which is very important, of course. But I want more than that. I want to be able to pass the bill, not just vote on it. I don’t want to be a representative of my state. I want to run it.”

BABY, YOU WILL GET THERE

I LOVE YOU

I have no clue what the fuck you are saying

but okay

“So,” Magnus whistles. “Governor Lightwood, huh?”

Lightwood-Bane*

you're welcome ❤️

okay the world is shit

ALEC I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU

I AM NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN BUT I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU

But he wants the mansion to be a home to him as well.

A home.

With a husband. Maybe even children.

One.

Maybe two.

DUDE-

YOU-

FUCK I-

okay yeah srsly though WHY does anyone need 40 bedrooms??????

Alec laughs. “The governor doesn’t have to live here. I just want to.”

“Rich people,” Magnus mumbles.

jhuduihcdfcuhyhudfvhufvu

fuck choosing

be a bitch ❤️

He gently reaches with his hand and touches Magnus’ pinky finger with his own.

ALRIGHT, YOU BITCH-

SHUT UP

THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS

“I’m used to feeling so powerless,” Alec confesses, the words spilling out of him. “So, I want this. I want all this power, Magnus. I want it so I can use it. I want it so no one will ever feel this powerless again. I know it’s idealistic. But I will do my best to change it.”

you..

you are fucking amazing

“I have this feeling,” Magnus says with a smile. “One day, you are going to make the world a better place.”

And Alec takes those words out of Magnus’ mouth and locks them inside his heart. He is going to keep it there. He is going to listen to it every day.

OMG

THEM

THIS

SO ADORABLE

THEM

SHUT UP ALEC KISSED HIS HAND

OH SHIT

But how are you supposed to make someone happy if you are not happy yourself? How are you supposed to make others feel safe if you are terrified on the inside?

THIS

YOU FUCKING AMAZING HUMAN BEING I COULD HUG YOU

He wants Magnus here.

In this mansion.

And he wants to wake up here every day to the sound of Magnus calling him ‘Alexander’.

I could cry

holy shit they are kissing

oh my god oh my god

IT'S HAPPENING

But he wants this.

He wants to be Magnus’ Alexander more than he wants to the governor.

It’s so weird how a single word or a single gesture can rearrange your past and rewrite your future.

I am emo

this is beautiful

Because he doesn’t want the mansion.

He wants a home.

DUDE-

STOP FUCKING WITH ME

oh ew Robert is calling him

okay I have a dress rehearsal tomorrow so I'm gonna go sleep now

gonna continue this in the morning

oh wow today was tiring

I did very well today during the rehearsal, especially with my knee

okay middle part now

wait a sec I'm stalking my programming teacher's Instagram

oh wow okay his following took a turn-

ANYWAY

How are you supposed to miss something you never loved?

oh-

I saw someone saying how this could happen in canon if malec moved to Idris because alec is the consul and all

and like I totally agree!!

I read something about that in the books (not the exact thing ofc) and like

yes.

Leslie is still here omg

oh wow this hurts

It hurt him when he realized how easy it is to move out. It's almost as if he had never lived here.

For it had always felt like he had moved into someone else’s home.

It feels like he had been nothing but a guest here.

A guest who had overstayed his welcome.

This is not his home anyway. This is not anyone’s home.

Oh wow this hurts

I...that...this feeling

it truly sucks. I hope he...I hope he finds it y'know? a home. an actual home. because he deserves it more than anyone

SHUT UP MAGNUS STILL MAKING SURE ALEC EATS???

FUCK

oh, max...

okay, but elyaas being an amazing friend to max 🥺

MAGNUS ASKING ELYAAS TO MAKE SURE MAX HAS HIS INHALER

FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT OF HERE

"My"

oh hell no

Magnus didn’t know his heart could get shattered by a possessive pronoun. But here they are.

dude same

shut up this is THE balcony

y'all fucking heartbreaking

Magnus knows Rafael is closer to him. But there is something between Rafael and Alec he has never been able to put a finger on.

They have a thread that connects them.

Magnus doesn’t know what it is. But he hopes it keeps them connected forever.

THEM

FUCKING THEM

I CANT-

He doesn’t want the kids to suffer because of all of this.

I-

oh god you have to be kidding me

“I’m gonna be there, okay? Whatever you need, I’m gonna be there,” Alec says with a softness that Magnus hadn’t heard in a long time.

oh wow okay it's fine I'm fine

Magnus...give him space

give max space

he'll come to you. he always will

dude this isn't about you right now okay??

god I don't even know why this is pissing me off

He remembers the first time Alec had given Rafael a beer. They were in Cannes.

The boy had been 16. Rafael had liked it but had promised not to drink until he is 18.

Max who had been 14 at the time had demanded beer too. He had thrown a bloody fit until Alec had allowed a single sip.

Max had choked on the beer and thrown the bottle into the ocean.

okay thoughts

first of all, MAX THROWING THE BOTTLE IN THE OCEAN IS SO FUCKING HILARIOUS

LIKE-

HE JUST THREW IT

secondly, LBAF alec is currently rolling-

sorry continue, please

SHARED MEMORIES

SHUT UP

A moment of peace.

For they’ll never lose this.

All the memories they have created together.

this makes me 😭

damn y'all

And despite all the pain and drama, there is a tiny part of Magnus, a sliver of his soul, that wishes Alec would ask him not to go.

head in hands

why tf do you want that-

I don't get it, dude

you asked for this??? now you wanna stay???

sigh

deep breaths

“Don’t believe a word he says. He loves you,” Alec smiles crookedly. “What does Rafe say? Max is a slut for affection.”

“Don’t call him that,” Magnus manages a laugh.

“He has called both of us so much worse,” Alec reminds him. “Remember the night we accidentally deleted the progress on his video game?”

“I still have nightmares,” Magnus shudders. “I’ve never heard so many profanities in a single minute. Not even from you.”

aww, this is so-

ALSO, MY BROTHER IS THE SAME-

oof yeah I get it.

Alec is…Alec was not just his husband. Alec was always more.

Alec is always more to everyone. That’s just how Alec loves.

He loves as much as possible - and then he loves you some more.

Magnus doesn’t want to miss this.

He needs this.

He needs Alec’s love. In any capacity he can get.

He needs it, for Magnus knows he will die without it.

head in hands again

I'm in fucking tears WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT DUDE MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND

MAGNUS FOR FUCK'S SAKE I REALLY DON'T GET IT

"friend"

oh god, you-

you-

Magnus, you asked for this remember? you asked for a divorce (not accusatory) and now you're like "oh let's be friends"

that's not...that's not how it...

i...

dude, I don't get it. what do you want??

divorce isn't so simple. it's...why do you keep expecting alec to like...still act like it's fine

god i don't even make sense

“I don’t want to lose you,” Magnus says because those words are true and he needs Alec to know. “I still need you in my life.”

???????????????

DUDE I CAN WITH YOU

“You don’t get to call me that anymore,” Alec says - no, commands. “From now on, I am just Alec to you. Do you understand?”

I...I honestly don't have any words

just...

holy shit wtf

ooo the end

RAFAEL'S POV

oof cannot relate to the routine part

okay this bitch cute

He loves the idea of waking up to her. He loves the idea of her waking up to him even more.

❤️

he's so...methodic

i...I have no clue how y'all function like that but I've always found people like this very comforting

Bapak never uses an alarm. He is one of those people who wakes up all on their own right on time. How bapak does that every day Rafael has no idea.

oh look it's me

OH NO MAGNUS-

:((

anxiety pills??

hugs him

okay alec wants to talk

these bitches (affectionate)

“Treat your skin like you would treat a newborn baby,” Bapak had told him over breakfast one day.

“So,” Max had said. “Ignore it?”

I CACKALED

also 12 steps??????? wow okay-

Family shouldn't feel special.

It should feel normal.

oh wow pain

he's right...it shouldn't

oh ew shinyun

shoo go away

sprays holy water everywhere

shinyun leave

Rafael kick her out

okay fine, she can stay...BUT ONLY BECAUSE MAGNUS IS DATING HER AND I RESPECT HIS DECISION

but babe you can do so much better-

nope no I support him

please leave her

Alec Lightwood in Max’s words was ‘a stubborn asshole’.

accurate

Rafael not wanting max to be at his workplace because it's his safe space is relatable

we all have that one place

and it's so fucking annoying when someone else intrudes

But there are some spaces, a handful, where he fits in and falls into place without having to try.

So, when he finds those places, he clutches onto them.

Like Anjali’s arms.

Like PolSci lecture room in Columbia.

Like Senator Rosales’ office.

hugs him

I got wafers

It’s not easy for him to socialize. It’s not easy for him to find places where he is comfortable.

yeah...same

ANJALI OMG

Y'ALL CUTE

He knows if he keeps this job and performs well, he can reach his goal of getting into Congress after his master's.

I am so proud of him

so fucking proud

istg shinyun stop pointing out the obvious shit

OH WOW, SHE GOT BTS TICKETS???

THOSE ARE VERY HARD TO GET

HOW TF-

okay but she's definitely trying very hard to win them over

what the fuck is your plan here bitch?

I'm making iced coffee

“You don’t think I should be dating Magnus,” she observes again. “You don’t think I am good enough for him.”

“Someone once told me we shouldn’t decide is good enough for other people,” Rafael replies.

Her light brown eyes almost twinkle at his words. “Then what is your problem?”

“I don’t have a problem!” Rafael says tersely as he walks to get more coffee. “And it doesn’t matter what I think, Shinyun. Bapak is not a child. If he wants to date you, he can date you.”

Rafael doesn’t understand why other people don’t get this. Especially dad.

yup

if Magnus wants to date her then well...sigh

sure babe.

I'm here for you though. through all the bad choices

shinyun wtf is your problem

“Because I don’t like to meddle,” Rafael replies. “But don’t mistake my indifference for apathy. I’m watching you.”

YES

BITCH DON'T TRY ANYTHING

“I’m asking you to treat my father the way he treats you,” Rafael clarifies. “Because what you will get from him in a week or a month is more than what you will ever get from anyone else in a lifetime.”

THIS!!!

HE'S SO RIGHT

COUNT YOUR FUCKING DAYS SHINYUN

Rafael is so amazing

max just chilling

LMAO, THE TEXTS-

aww they are talking

goddamn it alec

SO WHAT IF HE'S MAKING A MISTAKE WITH HER

IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE TO COMMENT ON IT

IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE TO OBJECT

sigh

I know heartbreak's different for everyone and you were married to him you knew him a long time

so it sucks

but you cant stay hungover him forever

Rafael takes a deep breath. “I meant what I said yesterday. This isn’t about Shinyun. Or you or me. This is about bapak.”

^^^^

“I understand where you’re coming from,” dad says eventually. “But it’s different for me, Rafe. Magnus is…Magnus was my husband. It’s not easy for me to move on like it’s for you or Max.”

“I know,” Rafael says quietly. “I’m sorry I asked you to move on. I mean. I do want you to move on. I meant what I said. But I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

the communication is strong in these two

noice

but yeah.

“I just,” dad says and rubs his beard tiredly. “I just want things to go back to the way they were, Rafe. Is that too much to ask?”

“Dad,” Rafael whispers. “Things can never go back to the way they were. That’s where you are wrong. We are all different now. All of us. So much has changed. We can never go back.”

It can never go back alec

it's your reality now

rafe's right

“We need to find a new place together. The four of us. Whoever we are now, we need to work with that. We can’t go back, dad.”

THIS!

i don't know how you're gonna go forward but you can't be stuck in one place forever

“No. If he comes back to you, then what are you going to do? How are you going to protect him? What are you going to do differently this time?”

Dad looks taken aback by all the questions.

“You want him back but you don’t know how to keep him,” Rafael chuckles sadly. “This is why I am telling you to back off. Because even if bapak comes back, you are going to lose him all over again.”

he's right

you have to do better. you have to do more the second time around if he comes back

It’s one of the most powerful and well-protected places in the entire state.

But then he had come to realize, it’s just like any other place.

It doesn’t stand for shit.

Not when the people inside it were hurt and broken and lonely.

It doesn’t mean anything when it can’t protect the people who took care of it.

there is so much pain here

it breaks me

so much pain and suffering

it hurts

What’s the point of mansions and governors and senators and all this power then?

What’s the point of power if you can’t protect people?

you keep trying

you look around and you keep tyring

that's really it, isn't it?

“People are always suffering, Rafe,” dad whispers. “But you can’t lose faith. Not in this job. If you don’t believe you can make things better, then you won’t get to where you want to be.”

Rafael frowns at that.

“Hey. Look at me,” dad says and holds his face with a hand. “I know it’s hard to keep going sometimes. When we look around us, there is so much pain and it’s hard to believe there is a point to anything. But we need to keep going, okay?”

Rafael gives a little nod.

“Faith is what keeps people alive, Rafe. Faith in God. Faith in themselves. Faith in our loved ones. People need to believe in something. Otherwise, it’s impossible to make it through. And people need to believe in systems. So, we need to work hard to prove we are worth believing in.”

^^^^^^^^^^

ooo they are both gonna be in London

are y'all gonna hook up in a bathroom again?

Yass them ganging up to annoy max hwuhduhf

I have a very low coffee intolerance I should not be drinking it my throat feels clogged up now
