Excuse me but everyone knows Kaz brekker would jump at the chance of building the legend of a satanic, plotting, vindictive baby with his last name. Inej would be the one to roll her eyes and give the baby a crow plushie

Some Gang Member: “Ah, keeping your son close to keep an eye on him? Making sure he doesn’t steal your empire out from under you? Take your title and reputation?”

Kaz:

Kaz: “He’s three.”

Kaz: “I’m keeping him close because if I don’t, he may try to eat a rock.”

Gang Member: “Gotcha, gotcha.” Big exaggerated wink. “Riiiiight.”

Kaz: “You do know he’s a real flesh and blood mortal baby, right?”

I wasn't going to share this but given the attention to my last post, this are my ideas for the next book:

Jonathan morgenstern kidnaps kit, maybe bc he wants to take vengeance on the killers of his other version or maybe bc he wants to raise this younger Jace bc he's got a lil obsession

That's how ash and kit end up parabatai, but I like to think there's a demonic twist to their bond, given Jonathan's involvement in it

He trains them both with a lot of cruelty and psychological and physical torture

Which actually makes them bond more than the bond itself

It also makes Janus feel compassion to them and that's actually how he breaks the bond from Jonathan in that world

In fact, he starts loving the boys and they love him back bc father figure issues™

Specially kit who knows Jace and didn't get along quite well with him, but Janus praises him and takes him seriously and such

The three start plotting against Jonathan and even make plans to go away when they're finally free

At some point defeating Jonathan, Janus dies and Ash and Kit are fucking emotionally destroyed

Like, for a while kit can't look Jace in the face

That's how they go back to Kit's dimension, and start bonding with Dru and Ty and finally kill Jonathan

And it's about justice but for Ash and Kit it's also about revenge

[kate-read-that]

Fanfic idea I'll never do anything with: once this next set of books are over, Drusilla, Ash, Kit and Ty form a four-men team of elite Shadowhunters that travel around the world helping institutes deal with demonic problems too big or complex for them. Ash and kit are parabatai, and have all the special fighting abilities given by their respective lineages. Dru and ty help balance the team, being also lethal but a lot more used to institutes and people. Ash and Dru are the new Morticia and Gomez minus the goth and Ty and Kit are finally on the same fucking page too.

A few years down the line, when Rafael Lightwood-Bane becomes 18 and he's entitled to a year in a different institute to complete his formation, he doesn't omwsnt to go any institute because he's scared everyone's going to baby him for being the Consul's son, so he chooses the only people he knows won't baby anyone no matter what.

There are a few near-death experiences and probably a 3-book worth adventure with the now 5-men team, and by the end of it they're so famous, Shadowhunters parents fight each other to get their children to spend their last year with the Fantastic 4 (terrible name but you get the gist).

Kit is horrified by the approval and the attention, Ash and Ty are just super uncomfortable with the whole niceness and acceptance of everyone and Dru is ecstatic that she'll get to make the parents go through a million tests for fun.

I'm OBSESSED with the middle picture

God knows I hate Ron Weasley bashing but I LOVE Hermione with Fred. If I have to endure Ron being an OoC DICK I'll do it for them. I'll do it for Fred and Hermione being in love.

I don’t want to be alone right now

fred weasley & hermione granger | friendship, fluff

He found her huddled in the garden, the curls a stark difference from the hydrangeas and rhododendrons flanking her on both sides. Ugly, gasping sobs rent the otherwise still space. It wasn’t yet midday, but rather that brief break after the morning bird calls and just before the afternoon drone of insects.

Fred didn’t know what had compelled him to walk out the back door. Call it a sixth sense, or whatever else. There was a tug; he followed.

Now, he stood watching her. Hermione. 

What is she doing here? he thought. Why is she crying?

Fred’s first impulse was to hunt down his baby brother and drag him outside. Surely he was the cause of all this, or, at the very least, knew what had happened. Fred could never figure out what it was that bound the two together aside from–and here, he scoffed–life and death. Without Harry Potter, without Hermione’s propensity to help, help, always help, the two shared very little in common.

He loved Ron, but he also knew Ron was a bit of a dunderhead.

“Hermione?” Crouching down, he tried to keep his voice soft. He didn’t want to scare her off.

She gasped anyway, face jerking up to reveal blotchy skin wet from distress. “F-Fred?”

He held both palms up in an entreaty. “What’s wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?”

He knew what her answer would be before she voiced it, because this was Hermione. She’d rather bear all the weight of her troubles until she collapsed rather than burden anybody else. She was like Harry, in that way. Maybe that was where Ron fit in–the only one of the three who sought help, and received their trust in kind.

“No, I-I’m fine. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have–” Now she stood, wiping at her face with the sleeve of her jumper. Her eyes darted around as if she was ashamed. He could tell she was looking for an avenue of escape.

“Don’t apologise. I come out here, too, sometimes.”

“You do?” There was so much hope in those two words.

“I do.” And he did. 

Of all his siblings, only he and Charlie seemed to take comfort in Mum’s garden. The others would rather sprint off to the fields for Quidditch, or to the orchard to get lost among the trunks and apple-laden branches. He did, as well, but when he wanted quiet–true quiet–he came here.

“Why?”

“It’s one of the only places where nobody thinks to look for me.” Except for George, of course. But George, unlike the rest, knew when to give him space without being told or asked for it. “Is that what you would prefer? For me to give you privacy?”

She chewed on her lip as she seemed to consider him. He observed her back, waiting patiently for her to reply. Moisture still clung to her lashes, framing her dark, gold-flecked eyes and making them appear even larger. They reminded Fred of fire sparks in the night.

“No. I don’t want to be alone right now, even though I did earlier.” The small smile she sent him felt like a win. Her cheeks flushed as he rewarded her with a grin of his own.

Almost shyly, she took his offered hand, biting her lip all the while. She allowed him to lead her over to the stone bench above which wisteria hung with its heavy perfume. She didn’t pull away when he continued to hold on.

“Now, who do I need to go and beat up?”

Her tinkling laughter was a balm that soothed as much as delighted. Fred didn’t know it yet, but this was the start of something lasting and beautiful, a connection that would save him when all seemed lost.

Fred : You know Hermione, you look very unapproachable

Hermione *turning the page of her book, trying to focus* : And yet, here you are

fremione is what jily always wanted to be

[kate-read-that]

The only reason Rin and Hermione ended up together was that they're too epic of a couple and they would have overshadowed the whole The Chosen One trope and End of the Magic World thing going on

Ok, now hear me out...

I absolutely love Harry and Hermione and I do think Harmione and Jily have a lot of parallels to be made but I feel like we're all ignoring the fact that Hermione and her supposed original endgame, Fred, are a true reincarnation of Lily and James.

I mean think about it, Lily and Hermione are both really smart muggle borns who are able to hold their own.

And both James and Fred are troublemakers who love pranks and are quidditch players.

It speaks for itself really🤷‍♀️

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 

“The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost. For none now live, who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings.“
