#(JordanxClari) The Light Behind Your Eyes

[tmrrwppl]

Clarissa Tellemanca & Jordan Reynolds

A study in soulmates, stubborn idiots, superpowers, and being damn good at their jobs.

Found at @tmrrwppl & @bloodbulletsandbytes

I said #eyes emoji on the last gif set of Shane...

Because seeing the below gif reminded me that the one post series verse @bloodbulletsandbytes and I haven't ACTUALLY fully explored... Which is the actual post-series canon leading up to Clari going on the hunt for Jed and John...

Which is started when John kills Cas.

Jordan gets the call from a contact and goes to survey the crime scene and bring Cas' body home so he can break the news to her gently... But Clari finds out through TIM scanning police radios and arrives right after he does and sees her brother's dead body and what her other brother had done to him-- by orders of her father. Jordan senses the breakdown coming... and thinks very, very quickly and grabs his wife and takes her out of the area to an uninhabited area of land (a national forest) in multiple jumps (which is no small feat, but he has no choice but to limit the potential damage this way).

Because he is fully aware she is a time bomb and they barely land before the blast occurs and she bursts trees into literal atoms. Full Omega-Phoenix level rage.

And Jordan just... holds her. And lets her explode. Her powers can't hurt him, they pass through him like a wind. (As a side, Jordan knows when to calm her and when to let her do what she needs. This is a rare time he let's her explode. This is also why they are perfect soulmates but I digress.)

(the amount of digging I had to do to find that damn AOS gif of Daisy exploding the trees lmao)

Jordan's out here liking posts where I briefly mention Adelle so lemme go off about Adelle and the verses Clari gets to interact with her.

In a couple verses, Clari just shows up completely broken in one way or another. In some she's pretty functional as an adult but still trying to keep herself together 24/7.

Regardless of verse tho: Adelle doesn't give her pity, but Adelle treats her like her own daughter (she brought Clari into this world all by herself and the vibes say she will absolutely threaten her bio mom about it if she ever gets the chance, either with violence or ripping her into shreds financially and burying her in court costs and CRIMINAL CHARGES).

And while Clari doesn't think she's worth much, Adelle repeatedly reminds her that she is. And she will not let Clari talk down about herself like, ever. She absolutely engages Clari's interest in sciences, and is basically like "Well you may have only taken Earth Space Science in high school but today we're talking about gene splicing, also watch me run experiments and ask me questions. But also please don't touch the acid, I don't want to find out if you can juggle it, dear." And Adelle just gives Clari grace and patience to learn.

And TO BE HONEST, Clari is scared SHITLESS of meeting Jordan's parents in the main verse canon, which is hilarious cause she literally meets Adelle and like 4 minutes later Adelle is stitching up her bullet wounds from the Party in Ep 4. This is also the same night Clari admits she definitely likes Jordan and kisses him so it's moving FAST but it's honestly wholesome (I love Jordan and Clari as a pairing and I will die on this hill defending these two).

In the verses where Clari basically moves in with Jordan/Jordan's fam (in lieu of finding Cas/Joining the Lair Dwellers/Post Canon, she is literally doing the MOST to be a good house guest because she doesn't EVER want to disappoint Adelle or Mal (Jordan's dad), or have them think she is mooching off them or whatever she gets in her brain.

AS ANOTHER SIDEBAR:

Jordan's sister and Clari get along like a damn forest fire and honestly she even gets along with David who has foot in mouth syndrome a lot (it's Clari, she's just so easy to like most of the time, poor guy never stood a chance)

And-- AND-- After getting comfortable around Mal, he is absolutely her new dad and Jed can kick rocks cause Mal is the only adult male figure in her life that genuinely cares about her wellbeing (other than Roger, briefly, later on).

Edit from @bloodbulletsandbytes

"Only thing you got wrong is what Adelle would call her; darling, not dear :) And David also definitely still puts his foot thoroughly in his mouth most of the time, at least for a while XD"

At a certain speed on the interstate Everything looks the same The blurry green helps me meditate When everything's always changing I took a ride down the boulevard To see where we use to hang It's worn down like the rest of us But that's a quick coat of paint I'm doin' buck 20 on I-75, 75, 75 Just to see if I'm dead or alive Dead or alive, dead or alive Cause I know I got you And you know you got me We got everything we need We got everything we need

I know I got you (I know I got you) And you know you got me We got everything we need We got everything we need When my mind's racing Yeah I just need some four-wheel isolation 'Cause Lord knows I can't afford that vacation And you can't see the skyline from the basement Yeah, you always remind me Yeah, you always remind me Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah

[tmrrwppl]

Clari to somebody: Fight me. Jordan, hidden out of Clari's sight, but not the other guy, quietly, showing his gun: Do not touch my sweet cinnamon bun if you want to see the light of day again.

[tmrrwppl]

Jordan: *trying to say he’s disposable and replaceable and only built to destroy and murder; full self deprecation*

Clari: *verbally beating his ass for ten minutes* AND ANOTHER THING

[tmrrwppl]

@bloodbulletsandbytes cOME GET YOUR WIVES.

Ale and Clari are FERAL.

[tmrrwppl]

[At Jordan and Clari’s ‘wedding’.]

Officiant: any reason these two should not be wed? (Other than the fact they’ve been married for years already and this is just a pointless joke)

Clari: *flashes brass knuckles*

John: *flips his jacket to show his gun*

Morgan: *pulls out a knife from her bouquet*

Em: *flashes her thigh holster under her dress*

Jordan: *immediately glances at Russell waiting for a dumb joke, holding his karambit*

Stephen: *way ahead of him, covering Russell’s mouth and giving a thumbs up*

Russell: *minor muffled flailing in annoyance*

Clari: told you I’m good at planning.

[tmrrwppl]

I did it all just for her And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl A prey she was for the cruelty of love While its serpent inside crawled straight towards her heart The coldest kiss love ceased to exist I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl

[tmrrwppl]

Me back on my Mikita bullshit and thinking this vid works so well with the Post Son Of Man verse @bloodbulletsandbytes and I have with Jordan, Clari, and John (it's one where they plan a murder party on Jed after John and Jordan get their memories back :) :) :) )

... if Luke ever does some bullshit I will replace him with Devon in like, 3 seconds, I swear to GOD

[tmrrwppl]

#Clari: being a brat #Jordan: does that eyebrow arch #Clari: instant innocent baby 🥺

uh huh, like Clari isn't power-subbing that relationship.

...

*glances at @bloodbulletsandbytes*

...

...

...

y'all have actually looked at her husband, right?

okay but yes, Clari and Jordan have a very cute dynamic and a lot MOST OF IT is Clari absolutely being a fucking menace and Jordan sighing and going along with it cause she's really cute and he loves her :3

She's not... power subbing (that's a silly term in the whole idea of TPE etc) but she's definitely driving a lot.

Anyways while I'm here---

Their ship song also breaks me in pieces cause it's just so pretty

but also their other ship song hURTS ME.

it's mostly cute and fluffy and funny

until it's soul crushing angst.

Also Kas I know this is you. Stop getting Clari in trouble.

[tmrrwppl]

The Dirty South Trailer just got dropped and Clari cannot breathe.

@bloodbulletsandbytes

ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING WILLA FOR MORE RESOURCES A WHILE AGO?

F U C K

[tmrrwppl]

Ship specific cause I'm spamming @bloodbulletsandbytes with them XD

Some are not safe for work so under the cut--

Jordan: The first time I saw you, you stole my heart. Clari: But I'm a kleptomaniac, so that doesn't mean anything.

Clari: What are you in the mood for? Jordan: World domination. Clari: That's a bit ambitious. Jordan: You are my world. Clari: Aww... Jordan: Clari: Jordan: Clari: OH.

Clari: I truly go into housewife mode when I'm someone's soulmate- like, I'll make you pancakes and bacon every morning. Jordan: This is a lie. Jordan: I'm literally dating them. This is a lie. Jordan: THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK A PANCAKE, WHAT IS THIS.

Jordan: You look good in that hoodie. Clari: You know where else I'd look good? Jordan, zero hesitation: My bed. Clari, at the same time: By your side- wait, what?

Clari: Relationships should be 50/50. Jordan cooks us dinner while I sit on the kitchen counter looking pretty.

Jordan: BE A BETTER PERSON! Clari: WHY?! Jordan: BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORALS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, AND IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA BE ME, SWEETHEART!

Clari: Hey, wanna take a shower with me? Jordan: I have a gun in that nightstand beside the bed. If I ever say no to that question, I want you to take it out and shot me because I’ve obviously gone crazy.

Clari: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt. Jordan: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

Jordan: Are you ready to commit? Clari: Like, a crime or a relationship?

Jordan: Pros and cons of dating me. Jordan: Pros. You'll be the cute one. Jordan: Cons. Holy shit, where do I begin-

Jordan: That was so hot, Clari. Clari: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenterate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets. Jordan: I'm so in love with you.

Clari: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine. Jordan: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again. Clari: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns?? Jordan: Is it working?

Clari: I love you. Jordan, not paying attention: What was that? Clari: I said I’m selling you to the zOo-

Clari: Jordan and I are no longer dating. Jordan: Clari, that’s a horrible way of telling people we’re married.

“Do ya wanna run that by me again, sunshine?”

“You know this station is like, not very big-- It shouldn’t take days to see someone around...you’re avoiding me. Why?” He asked John, but the man had no idea where Maya had wandered off to. Which was immediately a red flag since John could pinpoint all the usual suspects with accuracy of inches. Cas had to psionic blast a damn homing beacon to catch her unaware before she could run.

My #1 post of 2022

Gabriel had not taken long to request a meeting with Dumbledore after the term started. His youngest son’s letter clenched tightly in his fist as he gave the password and strolled up the stairs, a quiet energy crackling around him. His knuckles rapped lightly at the door before a voice called for him to enter. 

Dumbledore, as always, had barely changed from the time the ambitious young Gabriel had first met him. Perhaps his beard was longer, but the twinkling eyes remained the same. “Gabriel, please have a seat.”  Gabriel nodded, immediately making himself at home in the high backed chair in front of the headmaster’s desk. “I must admit,” Albus began slowly, “When I received your letter, I thought this would be a call regarding Alejandra’s latest incident with Mr. Flint, but I don’t believe that is so... since your request came before Professor Snape was able to remove Mr. Flint’s lips from his own backside... again.” 

Gabriel had allowed his lips to lift in a smug smile, not even ashamed to admit his pride in his only daughter, “I assume my daughter had her reasons, and if a detention was warranted, I would not fight it. However,” He paused, thinking over his words for the next moment, smoothing the letter open on his knee. “I received this letter from Alejandro, not even the second day of school. And have had a long and proper think on it. If you would be so kind to let me translate you an excerpt.” Albus nodded, folding his long fingers under his chin with an air of indulging.

“Father, the term has started, and so far, not much news to report. Another Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor, perhaps you can congratulate Mister Weasley, though I must admit the twins are still Ale and I’s favorites, though you would have to kill me before I would admit it.” Albus chuckled as Gabriel paused, his own amusement when he initially read the letter having caused the same reaction. 

“However, as you asked me to always be honest and voice my concerns, Harry Potter was also sorted into Gryffindor. And there are whispers he grew up with a muggle family. The boy seems nice enough, and with how the Malfoy boy goes on about his ‘not wanting to be his friend’, he seems reasonably intelligent. My issue is thus: He is tiny. Small. And in my honest opinion-- He has been abused. Whether by the muggles or something else, the savior of the wizarding world that defeated Voldemort looks like he could be knocked over by a light breeze. And Alejandra agrees. It is our disappointment that he did not get sorted into Slytherin so we could keep a closer watch on him, though Ale is debating reaching out to one of the Gryffindor girls she is on speaking terms with to do so on our behalf.”

Gabriel folded the letter back up, leaning back in the chair and staring Dumbledore down with a quiet intensity. “Harry Potter. The boy who lived. Was sent to a muggle home... and abused?” Gabriel knew Albus was peering into him and made no effort to lift shields, he wanted Albus to feel and understand his quiet rage. A boy, not just because he was so important to the wizarding world but because he was a child, was put into an unsafe environment. For what? For why? 

The two men were locked in their stare before Albus finally nodded, understanding why Gabriel was truly here. And knowing he was one of the only people in the world who could at least understand the intentions of it. 

“When Lily Potter died, she gave her life for her son. As you of all people would know, this created a blood ward over the boy. Which has protected him for as long as he calls his blood relative house his home.” Gabriel bristled at that, holding back a diatribe that threatened to escape as Albus raised his hand to placate him. “I understand your frustrations, Gabriel. I had mistakenly believed that leaving Harry with his muggle relatives would have been better for all, and that his mother’s sister would have loved him as her own. As surely as Lily would have loved her sister’s son. This was the mistake. However, it cannot be undone.”

Gabriel slammed his hands on the desk, “To Hell with that, Albus, you know damn well it can be undone. The boy deserves to grow up feeling safe and loved. And not an undersized child who would flinch from a raised hand instead of embracing it. You left him with muggles to keep his ego underinflated. You left him there so he would not be some little spoiled prat, despite many families that would have taken him in and raised him to be strong and loved him like their own son and accomplished the same thing. I would have taken him, Guillermo would have taken him. Even my aunt would have taken him! It is in our family’s history.” He could hear over the quiet murmurs of the portraits, his own ancestor’s voice, agreeing with him as Vindictus chimed in, the Spanish accent thicker than Gabriel’s own, “He should have been raised in his world, Albus, Gabriel is correct. The Viridians have always taken in muggleborns in our past and protected them, this would be no different with the Potter boy.” 

Albus leaned back in his seat, contemplative. “I have heard your argument many times, Vindictus, I do promise you, I remember it.” He glanced up at Gabriel, and Gabriel found himself both intrigued and annoyed that the twinkle was still there. 

“And would you still take him in? After all these years?” Gabriel swallowed thickly, “I would with no hesitation. My twins already want to protect him. It wouldn’t take but a single look from my oldest to want to do the same.” Albus gave a small nod, “And this would make the Viridian family no longer neutral in potential conflicts with the remaining followers of Voldemort?” 

The words bit at Gabriel and he scowled. “We were never neutral, and you damn well know this, Albus. No one trusted the foreigners back then, so we stayed out of it by request. Your request if I remember correctly.” 

Albus nodded, an amused smile on his face, “Gabriel, I am old. I make mistakes, mine are commonly much more severe than a normal man’s. Clearly, to have made a few of them during the war and after it ended. In regards to both your family, and Harry’s. So, entertain me if you would. How would you go about protecting the boy who lived? As you know, Voldemort is not truly gone. And I have a few suspicions as to why and how he is not. As I am certain you do as well.” 

Gabriel was silent for a moment, before his hand reached into his coat and pulled a sickle blade from his belt, showing the shimmering silver instrument. “Give me a lock of the boy’s hair and the protection Lily left on him would still present itself. I tie his hair to my children’s, mine, Guillermo’s, Maria’s. And he’s ours. And no one, not even Merlin himself could cut through the magical bond.” Albus tapped his fingers together, his eyes locked on the knife. Gabriel knew the old man was thinking it over deeply. “So, you would use the old magics to bind him like one would bind a coven?” Gabriel nodded, “Family, coven, at the end of the day, they were all the same. Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, as the muggles say.” 

Albus gave a small chuckle, “They usually shorten it to ‘blood is thicker than water’ and get the meaning wrong anyways.” Gabriel tucked the sickle back into his belt, crossing his arms adamantly, now fully invested in taking the boy in and already planning to add another room onto the villa, possibly next to Ale’s. The two could share a bathroom amicably he was sure. And Harry would immediately have two older students at school that would be there for him as much as he wanted them and Nicolas to help him during the summer, Guill could teach him quidditch and Maria, well, she would terrorize all of them equally he was sure. 

He was at least fully certain his twins would bend over backwards for him if presented the opportunity.

“Let me adopt Harry, if he agrees to it, Albus, and take him under our protection. If we are both right, and Voldemort does come back, I think we both know you would prefer he knows as much as he can to protect himself...” Gabriel gave a small sad smile, “And, knowing Voldemort, well, that’s 6 more bodies to stand in front of him and shield him. Six times the familial love. Six times the protection. But he would be hard pressed to get past Maria, Guill and I to get to the children.”

Albus looked into his hands for a moment, giving the slowest of nods. “If he agrees, Gabriel, I will let his muggle family know.”

Gabriel nodded, “Let me speak with him and explain... And your involvement in his placement will not be a focal point, as I assume you need him to trust you. For the benefit of his survival.”
