#anon you said soulmates but not a soulmate so they're not soulmates THEY ARE HUSBANDS!

[imrllytootiredforthis]

OK imagine this: yandere sub felix that is so in love with you, he will literally do anything to get any form of praise form you. He just wants to be your perfect house husband. He'll clean, bake/cook, s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶w̶e̶a̶r̶. He's so convinced that you two will be together he already started planning your wedding. He even told his mom that he found his soulmate. -new anon🐟

no because this is actually so him,

you've only been together for a little while, but he's already so utterly and completely obsessed.

doing any little thing you say, completely whipped for you in any and every way.

including but definitely not limited to being your pretty little house husband.

all while you're at work he's back at home, washing the dishes and vaccuming the house, dusting the shelves and any other chore a dutiful thing such as himself will be sure to get done.

he's so thoughtful too, remembering the way you said that you've been stressed all week. and what better way to make you happy than to bake your favourite treat while you're gone.

mixing all the ingredients, looking over the recipe and preheating the oven until it's ready to be baked.

and then, he thinks he deserves just a little break while they're in the oven,

stealing a pair of your underwear as he waits, sprawling out across the bed as he covers his mouth to quiet the mewls reverberating off the walls.

he's all alone and you aren't going to be back for a few more hours, he can't help how much more turned on he gets at the thought of you walking in on him.

and even though a small voice in the back of his head whispers to him, even though he knows it's wrong, he can't bring himself to stop. he's just so needy and you're gone for so long every day:((, how is he supposed to go that long without you?

when every moment he's without you feels like torture?

after that he does the laundry to cover his tracks and has everything spick and span, dinner on the table and baked treats all ready for desert when you come in all tired from work--just wanting to see your baby boy~

smiling and telling you he missed you, giving you a sweet kiss on the cheek.

you're completely unknowing to the way he's gone through all of your stuff today. he knows you love him too, knows you'll never cheat on him or hurt him like that, but he just needs to be sure. be sure that he's the only one in your life that makes you this happy

after all, he has a binder hidden in his dresser under all of his clothes, filled with all the wedding plans. he's so sure that you're his soulmate that lixie has everything for the rest of your life planned out for you.

from if you're gonna have any pets--taking account into allergies and preferences (lix is a good listener, and a good stalker, he knows your allergies before you're even to the second date), to where you're gonna live one day and if you're gonna have kids, if that's what you're into

he's even told his mom all about you, detailing every little thing he loves about you. gushing about you over the phone to her, telling her all about his soulmate he's gonna spend the rest of his life with<3

Rebecca and Anson's chemistry are off the charts and I do hope that the SNW writers would see that already, Pike and Una already act ( even in discotrek ) as a work-husband and work-wife and parents of the "kids" of their group. And not to mention what the Talosians said ( yes I hate ToS someone but here we are ) that she has feelings for him

I agree with everything you said, anon. They're very lucky to have two actors who work so well together and deliver such great chemistry on screen.

I mean Captain Boy Scout was ready to break the wrist of that security bloke, who was just doing his job, for laying a hand on Una. I literarily gasped during that scene because it was such a "No more Mister Nice Guy when you touch my wife" moment. And they did hint at Una's feelings for Chris in the Short Trek with Spock, too, so I expect/hope it will be adressed further down the line. Otherwise it would be a massive waste. For me they're like O'Neill/Carter (from Stargate SG1 if you don't know them). Even if they don't end up together, which we know will happen from TOS unless they decide to go completely off the rails of canon, they are still soulmates!

The bit about Batel is very interesting and I definitely noticed a resemblance there as well, not just in the looks but also in the personality. If you go with some people's theory of Pike and La'an having been a thing in the alternative future timeline in A Quality of Mercy (I'm not a Pike/La'an shipper so I don't really like that theory) where La'an was like a Una substitute, this does affirm, without counting the woman from The Cage, that Pike seems to have a type and that type is Una!!!

Soulmate anon here! Ahhh I know the exact scene you're talking about in queen Charlotte!!! It's sooo iconic!!!

Having a childhood friend sounds nice but then there wouldn't be any need to keep that a secret though ....

A member of the staff omg that sounds perfect!!!! What kind of member though??? That would be so angsty and soonyoung could never guess skkssksksksjsj

As for if mc falls for him ... She only falls for him after her other bf is out of the picture for some reason. Before that she notics how good soonyoung is but it doesn't sink in for her , because she just assumes that he considers this marriage as his duty , and duty is always easy for him. But she doesn't know he struggles too! Just like George in Q Charlotte!!! Mc doesn't tell him who her bf is btw . She just says she has one siskskskssk. You know how in Q Charlotte she and the king have separate rooms?? I thought they could have separate rooms at soonyoungs personal estate, but in the main palace, they share one hahahahah. And it leads to some interesting things ...... Like once she falls really sick and he stays up the whole night ,, and she wonders why he would care . And another time soonyoung catches her with her bf in THEIR ROOM and he loses it and gets soooooo mad . (Don't ask me how they're in her room! I don't know yet sksjsl)

That book you talked about sounds familiar! I think I saw it on Goodreads . My attention span only works for fanfics not for books 😭😭 yes I have fanfic brainrot skskskksk

ooh true a childhood best friend wouldn't be super spicy or forbidden. if it was a staff member, maybe a chef? gardener? groundskeeper? bookkeeper? advisor? second hand man (like a secretary idk if that's a thing aha)? medical staff? so many possibilities :')

i've dabbled with the idea of a prince x healer because i'm obsessed with avatar the last airbender ahah. zuko and katara's relationship is so beautifully complicated, but it works so perfectly 😭

it's your au, so choose whatever works best for your story !!! it'll be so juicy no matter what path you choose <3

soonyoung is SUCH a gentleman !!! he'll put up with his unrequited crush even though he's struggling on the inside. is it a struggle with mental health or perhaps familial problems? meanwhile, he'll fulfill his duty as a husband even if it hurts. even if she likes another man !!! 😭 he's perfect <3 i want him so bad<3

their wedding vows must have meant a whole lot to soonyoung. because in sickness and in health, he still stays at mc's bedside 💛 it would be so romantic if he fed her soup, wiped her skin with a damp towel, and tucked her into bed aha. she better return the favor whenever he needs her !!

the scream i scrumpt when you said there's another man in THEIR SHARED ROOM???? the audacity !!!!!!!!!!! justice for soonyoung !!! i know she was transparent about liking another man, but have some decorum 💔💔 i hope soonyoung pounded on the door and the man climbed out the window in fear ahaha

when it comes to books, my attention span is pretty small too, and some novels don't hit the way fanfics do !!!! they don't heal me like soonyoung would :'(

17.

“I’m pretty sure he’s my soulmate,” Damen says, staring at the most gorgeous blonde sitting at the far end of the bar counter.

“I’m pretty sure you’re drunk as fuck,” Nikandros answers him and takes a swig of the scotch he’s been holding since the beginning of the night.

“No, you don’t understand,” Damen says after he takes a shot. His… third? He’s not sure. “We’re meant to be.”

Nikandros shakes his head at his best friend. He looks at Damen as if he is insane, which, Damen thinks, might be right.

The blonde he thinks is his soulmate is Auguste’s younger brother. Auguste, technically his boss and business partner. Though they have been friends since their high school years and their families have been close for a long time, he knows there is an unwritten rule somewhere that dating a friend’s younger brother is… not encouraged. Unless Damen wants to be punched.

Maybe he wants to be punched.

But he can never do that to a friend. He shouldn’t. Then again, it is Laurent, and Laurent is all he ever wanted.

And now, after a few drinks and seeing Laurent talk to Torveld, Damen cannot, will not contain his feelings anymore.

“I’m telling him today,” Damen declares after another shot.

Nikandros snickers. Damen pushes him with a little more strength than he intended. Nikandros pushes him back, but it isn’t enough to make him fall off the bar chair.

“You’re telling him today?” Nikandros is mocking him.

“Yes,” Damen answers like Nikandros is a child. “Today’s the day I make Laurent want me back.”

Damen stands and shakes his head and body. He prepares as if he is about to enter a boxing ring, which, he thinks with a shudder, is accurate.

Nikandros shakes with laughter on his seat. Damen doesn’t know how this situation is laughable, but he ignores him. Honestly, he’s tired of Nikandros’s negativity tonight, but he doesn’t care anymore. He’ll deal with Nikandros after he kisses the blonde beauty talking to his brother.

Right. His brother, Auguste. Auguste, technically Damen’s boss.

He’ll cross that bridge he’s about to burn when he gets there.

Auguste sees Damen approaching and waves. Damen nods to him and smiles, hiding the buzzing nerves threatening to consume him. When he arrives, Auguste pats him on the back and he stumbles. That pat is a little too hard. It’s a bad sign. Shit.

“Alright, I’m just going to the restroom,” Auguste tells both of them, staring at the direction of the bathroom.

“Funny, I just saw Nikandros walk to the restroom,” Laurent says with a knowing tone.

Damen watches Laurent’s face as he teases his brother. He is intoxicated in those blue eyes, the way they twinkle in delight at his brother’s discomfort. His luscious, pink mouth is in a smirk, teasing, happy, and content. God, Damen wants to kiss those lips until they’re even pinker and smiling for him and because of him.

“Ha ha.” Auguste is unamused. “I’ll be back,” he says and slowly walks away.

“It’s a one person restroom, you know?” Laurent shouts and Auguste glares. “Use a condom!”

“Shut up!” Laurent cackles as Auguste disappears from view.

Damen slides in next to him. Laurent is as gorgeous as ever. He’s wearing a sparkly, dark blue top with a plunging neckline, oddly familiar to Damen. The top is accentuating Laurent’s pale skin color. Despite the glitters and shiny sequins, it is Laurent who glows in Damen’s eyes.

“Hey,” Damen starts, with, he’s certain, the biggest, dumbest smile on his face.

“Hey,” Laurent says back, staring at him with eyebrows raised.

Damen is a little afraid of that look. His heart pounds against his chest. Bad signs. Bad signs everywhere.

“You look so pretty today,” Damen still continues, voice impossibly dreamy.

“You already told me that,” Laurent tells him, eyebrows furrowed. He looks confused, as if Damen is lying to him. Laurent’s standoffishness is messing up Damen’s game, but he wills himself to power through.

“I did?” Damen asks, genuinely confused. “Well, I thought I should tell you again.” He smiles, hoping his charms on full blast would work on Laurent.

“Why are you here?” Laurent answers instead, and Damen’s smile falters. “Weren’t you having a conversation with Nik?”

“Yeah…” Damen sighs, honestly hurt that Laurent is being distant already. “But he was being annoying.”

Laurent snorts. “He’s like that everyday,” he says matter of factly. “What’s he being so anal about this time?” He picks up his drink and puts the rim of the glass in his mouth to take a sip. God, why can’t that glass be Damen?

Damen chuckles. “Well he is getting anal right now so…”

Laurent shows a hint of a smile behind the glass. “Was that it? He wanted some?”

“Nah. I told him I wanna tell you that I like you, but he just said it’s dumb.” Damen says casually, pretending he isn’t dropping a bomb on Laurent.

Laurent chokes on his drink. Damen wishes it’s his—

“You what?”

Was he angry? He sounded angry.

Damen gulps but still looks Laurent in the eye. “You didn’t know?” He’s still being casual, like his heart isn’t threatening to escape out of his chest. “I thought I was being obvious.”

“Damen—” Laurent doesn’t sound happy.

“Like genuinely.” Damen’s tone is serious, so Laurent knows he is serious. “I think you’re my soulmate. For real.”

“I’m not—”

“Look,” Damen interrupts, afraid of what Laurent is about to say before he could even pour his heart out. “Before you reject me—which I know you will—just hear me out, okay?”

“No, Damen, listen—”

“Please?” Damen throws in a pout he knows Laurent could never say no to.

“Okay.” Laurent sighs exasperated, but he doesn’t frown. Finally, a good sign.

Damen inhales. Exhales.

“Laurent.”

“Damen.” Laurent looks back at him. There is a hint of amusement in his voice. It annoys Damen a little, but who is he kidding? This is how he liked Laurent.

“I’ve liked you since…” Damen thinks about it for a second. “Forever.”

“Mhm.” Laurent nods. He looks like he doesn’t believe Damen, and that crushes Damen’s heart a little.

“I do,” Damen repeats. “I also genuinely believe you’re my soulmate—which is something you don’t believe in... or believe,” He says when he sees Laurent’s look. “But for me, that’s how I truly feel. Like… like all those times I was dating other girls it was like… I’ve never seen myself with them the way I see myself with you. You get me?”

Laurent shakes his head, his lips pursed. Damen wants to dig up a hole, shrivel, and die, but he started this and he has to end it. God, he hates it when Nikandros is right.

“I like you, Laurent. And I hope you give me a chance,” Damen says shakily. “But if you don't, it's cool.” He feigns relaxation when he is anything but.

Is it getting hot in here or—

“Damen, can I—” Laurent begins again, but Damen is too nervous to let him finish his rejection.

“AAAAND,” Damen interrupts once more. Laurent stops, annoyed. “If you don’t want to talk to me ever again, that’s fine. I’ll be sad but that’s fine. I’ll get over it. Like maybe after a really long time but I will get—”

“Damen.” Laurent says loudly and puts a hand on Damen’s mouth.

Damen’s eyes widen. He’d prefer a kiss as a way to stop him talking, but this is still physical contact, so Damen considers it a win. Laurent can’t resist his charms after all.

“How many shots of vodka did Nik force on you?”

“I don’t know... five?”

Laurent looks at him with eyebrows raised. He doesn’t believe Damen. “The truth.”

“Maybe more than that— I don’t know. Why are you asking me that? How is it connected to me liking you?” Damen asks, super confused.

Is this how Laurent flirts back? Did Damen do it then? Did the soulmate line work?

Laurent, incredibly, looks at Damen fondly.

“Babe,” Laurent says, tone serious.

“Babe?” Damen answers loudly.

“Sorry, did you want to be called my love? Darling? Honey?”

“What—”

Laurent laughs —he is so beautiful, Damen wants to be the reason that expression is painted on his face every single day.

“You’re so drunk,” Laurent says in between laughter.

“No!” Damen says defiantly. “I’m being serious here. Stop playing— stop laughing.”

Laurent laughs even harder. Damen can’t even get mad at him, because he’s happy he made Laurent happy.

Still, to Damen’s shock, Laurent takes his left hand in his, then raises both their hands, showing Damen matching rings on the fourth finger.

“Love, you're wasted. We’ve been married for two years.”

[to-the-stars-writing]

If I may suggest a prompt? Because I really love your dragon stories and they're all so wonderful. It has become one of my favorite tropes. Anyway, it's easier to see Magnus taking care of a baby dragon Alec/a baby dragon that represents Alec because Magnus is older and always have to wait for his soulmate to be born. So my prompt is, could you write Alec taking care of a baby dragon Magnus? Maybe some kind of spell hits Magnus and he de-ages. And then Alec can pamper him in a way he never felt before when he was indeed young. Just, you know, a lot of comfort and fluff feelings

I hope this is what you were looking for, Anon! Sorry it took me so long to post it :)

Adorable Accidents: (HERE on AO3)

“How the hell did this happen?”

That was the only question Alec could think of to ask as he stood in the middle of the Institute’s infirmary with a very small, very young, and very terrified dragon trying to bury itself against his neck and under the collar of his leather jacket.

To have a young, scared dragon was one thing – there were protocols in place for that. While dragons weren’t exactly common they were still present in the shadow world. Now and again they encountered them, and the whole of Alec’s staff knew what to do if that happened. Namely, calling him or his husband,

“How the hell did this happen?”

That was the only question Alec could think of to ask as he stood in the middle of the Institute’s infirmary, listening to the sounds of fury and fear that were coming from the warded room in front of him. Even with the strength of the wards around the room he could still hear the furious growling of a young, terrified dragon.

Instinct demanded that he go in there now and try his best to soothe and fix this. But practicality had him staying outside the room to talk to everyone and find out what exactly was going on.

To have a young, scared dragon was one thing – there were protocols in place for that. While dragons weren’t exactly common they were still present in the shadow world. Now and again they encountered them, and the whole of Alec’s staff knew what to do if that happened. Namely, calling him or his husband. Usually, Magnus was better at trying to fix things for dragons, who tended to look at Alec and see the shadowhunter part of his heritage before they saw the draconic part of it.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to be possible this time, because the young, scared dragon in there wasn’t just any dragon. It was Magnus.

“It was an accident,” Catarina said, watching Alec cautiously as she said it. On a good day Alec and Catarina were friends. Something which had Magnus moaning and groaning about betrayal and terrible people, all the while grinning in a way that made it clear he loved it.

But Catarina was one of the most knowledgeable non-draconic people Alec had ever met. She and Ragnor had made a study of dragons not long after they first met Magnus. They’d wanted to know everything they could about their friend. Catarina, especially, had wanted to know how to take care of him when he was hurt, what special things she could and couldn’t do.

That meant that she was the one person in the room right now who knew exactly how dangerous Alec currently was. Jace and Isabelle had some understanding, which was why they were cautiously watching him from either side, but it was Catarina who had witnessed what could truly happen to one part of a bonded pair when their mate was in danger.

Which was why she was standing far enough off to the side to make sure that she didn’t impede his route to the door of the room where Magnus was waiting, and why she made sure to answer him quickly and succinctly.

“Magnus called me a half an hour ago to tell me that there was an injured warlock in need of help. They were young and terrified and very badly hurt, and while he was trying to shield them he needed someone else to come in and do the healing,” Catarina explained, her voice never once losing its calm cadence. “When I arrived, Isabelle and Jace were guarding outside the room and Magnus was inside shielding the young warlock. I went in to help heal, but my presence only panicked the other warlock. They lashed out at the same time that someone else, who we discovered after to be their sister, portaled in and took in what she perceived as an attack against her brother.”

Alec fought back the urge to groan. He wanted to push, to demand what came next, even as he had a feeling he knew.

“Magnus had enough time to bring out his wings to shelter me, but it left him exposed to the blast of their magic. The two combined right as they hit him. When the light cleared, Magnus was on the floor in the form of his younger, draconic self.”

“We came in right after,” Jace interjected.

Isabelle made a sound of agreement. “With the shock of everything, we were able to talk to the two warlocks and calm them down.”

Though it probably wasn’t very good of him as a leader or a person, there wasn’t really a single part of Alec that had the capacity to care about either of the young warlocks. Maybe that made him a terrible person, and he would own that later when he had enough room for the guilt to creep in. At the moment, however, all he had the space for was his fear and worry for Magnus. Nothing else mattered.

Catarina, bless her, knew that. “He’ll be okay,” she said quickly, cutting off the other two to give Alec what he needed to hear. “I was able to examine him before he woke up. He has no injuries. What they did didn’t hurt him, and it was already starting to fade off of him by the time I brought him here. By my best estimates, it should take twenty-four to thirty-six hours to wear off.”

“Until then, he’s going to be stuck as a child,” Alec filled in.

She nodded at him. “One who has no idea who any of us are.”

Great. That was just – that was great.

Knowing that Magnus wasn’t hurt helped. Knowing that he was going to be okay in less than two days helped even more. It took some of the rage and fear that Alec felt and allowed him to push it down enough that the rest of him could come to the forefront.

That is, right up until the moment that another roar came from Magnus, and this one was tinged in just as much pain as it was anger.

Alec didn’t even consciously make the choice to move. One minute he was standing there getting his report from Catarina like she was one of his soldiers – and she had been shorter and summed everything up quicker than any of his soldiers – and the next he was darting through the door into the warded room with his wings out and his body at the ready.

Only, there was no threat inside the room. No one was in there trying to attack Magnus or hurt him or do anything.

When Alec saw what was in there, it was enough to stop him in his tracks for one long moment. Because… Magnus wasn’t being attacked by anything human, or any sort of magic. He was…

He was stuck.

Alec knew he was gaping. Just as he knew Magnus was absolutely going to hate this as soon as he was back to his normal size and Alec told him about it, or he remembered it. Whichever. But he couldn’t help himself.

Magnus was… he’d somehow ended up half wrapped up in the sheet from the bed he’d no doubt been put on while unconscious, only he wasn’t trapped on the bed. He and the sheet both had somehow ended up wrapped around and dangling from the rectangular bar light that hung from the ceiling.

There was just enough time for Alec to take it in, to see the flash of gold and red scales amongst the bundled up white sheet, and then the whole bundle gave a solid twitch and Magnus let out another of those pained, furious roars, his tiny little body jerking hard in a clear effort to get free, and that was enough to jerk Alec out of his stupor.

Alec used a wing to snap the door shut behind him even as he started to move forward. He reached Magnus just as his mate opened his mouth and inhaled in what was clearly a precursor to an attempt at fire. Before he could do it and potentially burn down half the room in his panic, Alec let out a low, crooning rumble, one that he had used on his siblings plenty of times when they were young and scared and in need of comfort.

There was a reason Alec was often the one called in when young dragons were brought to the Institute. Magnus was called for the older ones – he was enough of an Alpha that all it ever really took was a growl from him to have them calming the fuck down to listen to him. (Alec was an alpha too, but wasn’t immune to Magnus, to the feeling of wanting to roll on his back and show his belly to the only dragon worthy of seeing him that way, desperate for that pleased rumble that Magnus gave every single time he did)

Where Magnus was the epitome of Alpha, Alec had been told he was the epitome of protective big brother. Terrified kids calmed for him in ways they wouldn’t for anyone else.

Magnus was no exception. He stilled as soon as Alec made that sound. Then he twisted just enough that he could look over at him.

Alec kept up the soft sound as he made his way forward. “You’re all right,” he said gently. “Deep breath, cariño. I’m going to come over there and get you down, okay?”

He’d almost slipped there, almost called Magnus honey, but everything Catarina had said and everything Alec saw here – the fear on Magnus’ face, the confusion – made it clear that it wasn’t just Magnus’ body that had shrunk. He seemed to fully believe that he was young once more. Which meant that he wasn’t going to recognize the name Magnus. That wasn’t something that he would’ve taken yet. Not at that age.

Magnus’ body vibrated a little when Alec came close to him. Yet he didn’t pull away, didn’t try and stop him from reaching up. Though he did flinch slightly when Alec let his claws come through.

Making another crooning sound, Alec climbed right up onto the table, bringing him closer to Magnus. “Shh, sweetheart, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I won’t hurt you. I’m just going to get you down from here, that’s all.” Alec added an extra rumbling purr to those words. A sound he usually saved for when those he loved were particularly upset. He'd used it a few times after some of Magnus’ worst nightmares, holding his mate to him and letting the sound vibrate them both. It always worked to soothe Magnus down, and now seemed to be no exception.

Magnus sunk into the blankets as Alec reached above him to carefully use his claws to cut the blanket free. He had his other arm up, ready to catch Magnus and the blanket the instant it toppled down. Magnus gave a soft squeak when it did,. Alec resolved to never tell him how adorable that sound was.

As soon as he had Magnus in his arms, Alec sank down, shifting to squat on the table and then just fold himself down there, legs crossed underneath him and the bundle that was Magnus and the blanket cradled in his lap.

“There we are. Almost there, cariño. Let me just get you free of the blankets.” Alec suited action to words, carefully untangling Magnus from where he’d gotten so twisted. The blankets seemed to have caught on his back claws, which explained how he’d managed to drag them up to the light with him.

Once Alec got the last bit of blanket free, he had only a second to look at the miniature version of his husband before Magnus moved. Wings and legs scrambled quickly. Only, they didn’t move away. No, he shot toward Alec, climbing practically inside his jacket with him.

He realized why pretty quickly. The way Magnus hurried up toward his neck and buried his face there made it clear.

Magnus had always said he loved Alec’s scent. Once they’d properly bonded and their scents began to mix, not to mention how often Magnus still liked to scent mark him before he let Alec leave, more often than not Alec walked around with a big giant MINE in his scent. This small version of Magnus must be able to smell that. He wouldn’t know about mates, of course. It wasn’t going to mean the same to him. But apparently he was reading it as Alec belonging to him, and he was purring as he twined himself around Alec’s neck like the very best scarf.

A smile curved Alec’s lips at the gesture. He reached up and pet at Magnus’ head, chuckling when it made Magnus purr even louder. “At least I don’t have to figure out a way to convince you to stay with me.”

The growl Magnus gave at that only made Alec laugh again. That sound combined with the way he tightened around Alec for a moment made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere.

Alec took a few moments to just stroke his hands over Magnus and soothe them both a little. The panic he’d felt at finding out his husband was hurt, that he was here like this, finally started to abate. Magnus was with him now, safe, alive, and unharmed. More than that, Catarina was sure that he was going to be okay.

Until then, Alec was more than content to keep his mate with him, and it seemed like Magnus was perfectly on board with that plan.

“I’m going to have so much fun teasing you for this later,” Alec told him, grinning as he did. “For now, what do you say we go get you something to eat? I bet your body needs the energy. Hm? You hungry, cariño?”

The growling yip he got in response to that was a clear Yes.

Alec carefully adjusted his jacket so that the color was up enough to shield Magnus from most eyes. He had a moment to entertain himself with the thought of what Magnus would say as an adult if he saw Alec with his collar popped up like this. He was forever smoothing it out when Alec messed it up accidentally.

A poke and a grumble from Magnus reminded him that he had a goal here. While the older version of his husband might gripe about that look, the younger version was more than content to hide there, and it would keep him sheltered from prying eyes as Alec took him out to eat.

“All right. Let’s go see if Catarina can make us a portal back to… my place.” He’d almost slipped there and called it our place. No need to confuse him. “Once we get there, I’m pretty sure we have some steak strips you were planning on turning into something or other. They should do for a meal for now.”

There, he could safely let Magnus free for a while, with the wards of the loft around him to keep him safe.

The Institute was going to have to do without him for a little while. Alec had a much more important job to take care of first.

[antiyourwokehomophobia2]

i read that book and genuinely i don't see how harrow and gideon are in a relationship at all? they're not even friends, and by the end of the book they kind of start to get accustomed to each other and realize they have to have each other's backs etc and become friends a little bit. it wasn't a relationship at all.

and i'm p sure there's like 0 proof of harrow even being gay.

doesn't help that i googled the author and there's an article where she states she's a lesbian, but if you go to her twitter you'll find a picture of her and her husband lmao

the whole book felt like false advertizing

Well, the author has said they're both lesbians. They're not in any confirmed relationship or anything... A lot of people just see them that way. However, if you come out of the books thinking that they're just friends then I don't think anyone can blame you lmao. There's still two more books to be released, so who knows how these two will end up. Nothings been confirmed, it's all about how you see it. For all we know, maybe Gideon and Harrow won't be endgame.

As for tamsyn and her husband: I've gathered that it's a platonic soulmate marriage? Tbh, she's very private in terms of online presence so I really don't know. I get what you mean, though.

The one and only thing I will dispute is the "false advertising" claim. Tamsyn never marketed her book as a romance. She said there'd be lesbians and that they'd be in space. Well, that's exactly what we got lmao. Gideon and harrow are lesbians in space.

Other than that, I totally get where you're coming from, anon.

Why did Sara look confused when Catherine said that Grissom was just like his mom in the two Mrs. Grissom episode?

hi, anon!

so the key to understanding that quip is looking at how catherine is comparing grissom to betty.

remember: sara just rattled off a bunch of negative qualities she associates with her mother-in-law (i.e., she's hard to get close to, she questions everything, she has to be right about everything, she's emotionally unavailable, etc.), and then catherine basically went, "you know who shares all of those negative qualities? grissom."

but the thing is, sara doesn't believe that grissom shares those qualities with his mother at all (and especially not at this point in his and sara's marriage, when their relationship is going really strong).

to sara's mind, grissom is not hard to get close to at all; he's her soulmate and confidante, and her relationship with him is the most intimate relationship she's ever had. moreover, he's not (in her view) someone who compulsively "questions everything" or has to constantly be right. he's an analytical thinker, yes, but he gives credit where it's due and is perfectly willing and even happy to recognize other's opinions, ideas, and contributions, including and especially hers. they're equal partners, and she doesn't feel like he's domineering over her whatsoever. when she's right, he's got no problem acknowledging as much. he also isn't, as she sees things, emotionally unavailable. maybe early on in their relationship he was aloof, sure. but nowadays he's emotionally effusive. he shows her where his heart is at all the time. he's also there for her when she needs him. he's her rock and her stalwart. their emotional connection is incredible.

so in her mind, he and betty are like night and day in terms of how they deal with her; there's no likeness, as she sees things.

she also, just in general, doesn't get why catherine seems to have such a low opinion of grissom.

he's sara's favorite person in the whole world, so it honestly just doesn't compute for her how anyone could think badly of him.

and that's why she pulls the face.

what catherine is saying just doesn't make sense to her on any level.

the notion that her sweet, doting, wonderful, positive husband might share any negative qualities with his frigid, controlling, disapproving, difficult mother just doesn't ring true to her at all.

it's like comparing apples to alligators.

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

sorry if this is super cringe but i have a massive crush on hollycomb's Stan?? like...even at his /worst/ (e.g. war AU for obvious reasons) he's like this ideal boyfriend/husband and i just love the way he treats Kyle in her fics ;___; whenever i read Kyle's POV it's so easy to see why he'd fall for Stan lol. i really miss how holly writes Style. i wish she'll write for SP again and i wish i can find another fic that has the same Style dynamic as hers

Anon... if you are super cringe then I am also super cringe, because I am like the same boat. Hollycomb's Stan set my standards way too high and nobody is ever going to reach them!!! How are you supposed to go on knowing that hollycomb's Stan Marsh is the peak performance of men and yet he's fictional. Heartbreaking </3

It IS so easy to see why Kyle would fall in love with him, and I think that's one of the things that's really so special about hollycomb's works... she makes both of the characters (but you're right in that Stan especially) SO lovable that when you read her fics in which they're not together, it feels so natural that they WILL end up together. You really can't imagine a world in which they WON'T fall in love with each other under the circumstances that hollycomb gives them, and it really heightens your appreciation for style in general. She takes the time to explore so many different situations for them and yet they fall in love every time, and she was so correct for that. They ARE soulmates and they are going to fall in love every time!!!

I wish for the same thing, anon :( hollycomb really is one of a kind. That being said, I'm sure there are fics out there that give them a similar dynamic - I'm just blanking on them. If anyone has any authors that they think really encompass the hollycomb way of style (even if not perfectly), please let me know and I'll add them!!

Thank you for the ask anon <3

8, 13, and 30 +Midam please? (If you’re still doing the 100 otp questions)

you probably found some asks from a couple of months ago anon, but y'know what? here you go! <3

8. who is the better dancer?

oh, adam. i wrote a little fic about it once, and i still believe that michael doesn't dance normally. granted, adam is no pro dancer himself, but he enjoys music and is having a great time discovering all the stuff he has missed while he and michael were in hell. sometimes when you feel the vibe you just gotta go with it, right? i can see him swinging around casually, as one does, and even trying to get michael involved once! michael, for his part, like i said, doesn't dance. arts are not really his forte. but he also has a big soft spot for adam, and it's not like he's being asked to sing or something like that, so he probably caved in once because adam was being persistent and very very hopeful. it was awkward but endearing and fun, and then he declared he was fine for the next couple of decades lol. affectionately speaking, of course!

13. who asked the other to get married?

depends! i don't know if you were around for the midam wedding back in april, there are some seriously adorable takes on this subject. personally, if you put it in a canonical setting then there isn't really an answer because what they have is (and will become as time goes by) way stronger and more meaningful than marriage. their soul and grace are all tangled up, they're close at their core, so when we all say they're married it's not just about the way they act together lmfao. i assume that in angelic terms their bond must have huge meaning, at least. because it's unusual for an angel (let alone an archangel) to be this close to their human vessel. it's a very unique situation and i hc that some kind of bonding has already happened in the cage, whether that was a necessity to sustain one another in hell or an accident. aside from this, i believe they are pretty chill with how they label each other in their relationship, so i can see adam talking about michael with unsuspecting humans and referring to him as his husband or fiancé or something like that. solely for fun because michael's apparition is right there and the archangel is raising an eyebrow at him, and because he is not technically incorrect? there is probably an inside joke somewhere in there. wouldn't put it past them to talk idly of this particular innuendo in their relationship and adam going "let's do it then! like the kids do, with a candy ring," and, listen, he is kind of being playful here, but then next thing he knows part of him is short-circuiting and they are having a symbolic, intimate, on-the-spot little thing that is like a marriage and okay, fair. there. michael didn't spend billions of years ruling and guiding heaven in his absent father's lieu to not have the authority to wed his vessel, okay?

30. how would they react if they found out they were soul mates?

what do you mean? they are soulmates already. this is gonna be tough! i genuinely think that they are soulmates in canon, or well, not the pre-made kind that share a heaven, more along the line of kindred spirits who came in each other's lives in a pivotal point and had a huge impact on one another and share an unconditional deep affection. but still. okay, uhm. . . alternative universe speaking, it depends on how you set your plot and on how you choose to characterize them, it's a bit tricky. and this is only in the case of you going for the human!michael route. if we follow canon events and elements, there is a fucking lot to unpack there given their history. seriously! i once read a fanfiction where michael finds out before the events of s4 take place, and it was a rollercoaster; then there was another one where they figure it out while they are in the cage, and that's also quite the ride. for how the show presented them to us, they'd both be kind of skeptical, chill, or mostly neutral towards the soulmate ordeal. and for different reasons. with adam being down to be friends with his soulmate without going all oh my god we were made for each other and i just met you five minutes ago but it's fate so let's get married and michael believing in soulmates as they are a fact of life, but not really thinking much of his because he's not a romantic 16-year-old and frankly, he has an apocalypse to plan. depending on the details of the au, i think it would be shocking for them, especially if you consider that they never get along at first and it's always one hell of a slow build when it comes to their relationship. i can see michael being intrigued, confusion and bewilderment aside, but only if there is already some sort of dialogue between them. and i can see adam being even more shocked because what are the odds of having god's eldest son as your soulmate at such a dooming time in your life? in hell? yeah, exactly, what the fuck, this isn't helping his soon-to-be crush. and it's screwing with a bunch of other emotions and issues at hand, soooo. . . yeah. it's hard to reply without a specific setting, but for the kind of people that they are it would be quite the turning point and a good reason for them getting to actually know one another. not because they must be together (c'mon, adam is stubborn and independent af and michael is aloof and idiosyncratic not to mention, haughty, there is no way in hell), but rather out of curiosity. the rest is all thanks to the fact that personality-wise they are exactly what the other needs and is attracted to, thanks for coming to my ted talks.

100 OTP QUESTIONS

[heartsoftruth]

1- i don't think anybody cares for my opinion of brumar which is why i've never shared my thoughts when they first got back together but now a few months later i just have to share my observation because i'm not freaking blind and have seen the way millions of high school couples act and that's literally neymar and bruna. i'm gonna start this off by saying i don't understand why everyone takes brumar so seriously they're not nearly as in love as they paint themselves out to be on social media.

2- flashback to 2014 when they were dating for two years, now that’s a long as fuck time to get really attached to someone and be sad about a breakup but neither of them cared after they ended things? bruna was literally dating someone else within a span of a few months and neymar didn’t care at all about ending his relationship because at that time he’d rather spend his time being single. this is obvious because he literally said he didn’t want to marry her right before they broke up and then

Anonymous said:3- during that same week of their breakup continued to party with other women and has basically lived his bachelor lifestyle up to it’s full potential since then. point blank is neither of them were heartbroken enough to even try and see each other in a whole ass 2 years they were perfectly content with their lives without the other in it. then flashback to last summer neymar never stops complaining about being single and oh shit look at that a few months later he’s back with bruna. so to sum

4- things up neymar first dumped her because he didn’t want a serious relationship anymore then picked her back up when he wanted one. if you can keep bringing back then dropping that same person out of your life so easily you’re not dating them because you’re fucking in love with them you’re dating them just so you can say you’re dating somebody. their nonstop posts about each other further proves this observation. painting together? out at the movies? hanging out with friends? just finished

5- eating? POST ABOUT EACH OTHER POST ABOUT EACH OTHER POST ABOUT EACH OTHER!!! they post about EVERYTHING that they do together. now from my personal experience the realeast relationships last because you and that one person have a special bond together and your memories are for YOU not the entire damn planet. neymar and bruna are the definition of a couple that is only together so they can flex for the gram. what is their relationship without social media honestly? you’re at a party with your

6- friends and the first thing you can think of is “hey rafinha stand in this video while bruna kisses me so everyone can see i have a girlfriend and you don’t” see what i mean by a highschool relationship? like who does that? i’m sure he didn’t mean to make fun of rafinha but my point is that neymar and bruna’s relationship literally only survives on the mere fact that people talk and are interested in THEIR private life. if you’re so in love then be together and enjoy each other’s company

7- instead of being so bored out of your damn minds together that you have to post about everything you do together then spend the next hour watching your fans post about it on instagram. other people might take them seriously because she speaks to his parents and he called her his wife but every other 17 year old and their significant other literally does the same thing. i don’t think that they will last and hell if they get married it’s literally going to be because neymar is out here having

8- a midlife crisis and thinks he’ll be too old if he doesn’t have another kid by the time he’s 25 not because bruna is his reoccuring soulmate lol. if she was he wouldn’t have been able to drop her out of his life so quickly in the first place. and i know the only reason he is moving so fast with her is because he’s acting like he’s already way too old to start all over with someone new which is just ridiculous but i think it’s obvious that is what he thinks. sorry this is so long i just wanted

9- to share my observation on why i think these two are together for all the wrong reasons but i guess not everyone has morals when it comes to why they want someone as their wife/husband. all i’m saying is you could never catch me going back to my ex after he exfoliated me, fucked a bunch of other women, then decided it’s my turn to come back because he’s ready to settle down foh with that.

___________Ooooo, my anon friend! you went offfff!! You actually have some very good points and said some interesting things.

I do really agree with the Insta posts etc. I also think keep those intimate moments private and something for you both to cherish. On the other hand Neymar is one who likes to post SO MUCH about his private life that its also something I kinda expected from him. Like what you said at 6 was indeed also my reaction, but thats why I also said with guys its different. Because if I did that to a friend or a friends with me I/she would be pissed af. But guys probably laugh at it and are over it in a second where us girls are agree for a week/month xD. 

I think the my wife comment was more my wifey or my women. Not wife, but I get what you mean. But we all know Ney acts very young at times you know. And he likes those typical cheesy things and quotes etc. 

8: is also interesting and something I never thought of tbh. I hope he doenst think of himself as too old. Would be ridiculous at 25, but probably bc all his teammates (and most footballers) already settled down at that age… 

Dont be sorry for sharing your observations! They are very interesting! seriously! You made me think about a few things. And maybe my reply to you is short, but I’m defiantly thinking about the points you made in your observations.

Hiii it's soulmate anon again!! i'm so excited to talk to you ehehe , i read some of my old asks and i've been sending you asks for like a year! thats so crazy hahahha!! anyway here's the scene for the fic!!! do you know that scenne in q charlotte when george confesses and he goes " i love you . from the moment i saw you go try to go across the wall ...." THATS MY FAVE SCENE IN THE SERIES it's soooo raw and that actor looked soooo torn omg. i need soonyoung to say those exact line way into his marriage ! so as a backstory it will go like this . soonyoung and mc see other all the time at royal events etc ,, and once when they're like ... 23 or 24 , mc tries to get out the event by climbing a wall haha . soonyoung always thought she's so pretty and smart and he kind offf was attracted to her already but in a very insignificant way you know???? but seeing her be that bold and quirky made me be like ,,,, hmmmm i like her LOL . and then when his parents fix a marriage with her to strengthen alliance between their kingdoms, he's soooo happy and he thinks she's ok with it too ! there's no reason to belive she's not!! But she's only agreeing to the marrige for the kingdom, ( they're kingdoms have always been rivals and this is the only way to solve and avoid wars ) She thinks what her parents do is wrong because they're not seeing her as a woman and just like a pawn . but they love her !!!! they just dont think anything is more important that the kingdom! and they hope she gets along with soonyoung too ... How mc treats sponyoung ohhh hahahaha i make him suffer just like gryff soonyoung sskssksksksk . On the day of the marriege , before they get married she tells him she thinks this is a farce LOL and she tells him she doesnt like that he didnt even think to ask her anything before the marriage. but he's like?? how will i know your parents did it without asking you ?????? so she tells him she takes her responbilities srsly but she cant treat him like a husband. s if he wants he can end it now lol .... she selfishly hopes he ends it, but on the other hand she doesnt want him to because it's really important to the kingdom .... but he doesnt end it cus really both of them dont have a choice LOL i cant decide why mc doesnt like the marriage .... i dont her to hate it just because ots arranged! like she's smarter than that .... i thought maybe she loves someone else ?? and it has to be someone she cant tell her parents about . because thats what they think. that she's single , so they make the alliance ... anyway thats all for now!!! it's already such a long ask haha sorry!! also that club hc for soonyoung you said is sooooo cute. i love that mc defends him !!!! honestly none of my mc's will compare to the hogwarts ones, theyre soooo close to my heart <33333

a whole year !!! omg thank you for sticking through all my shenanigans 🫶🏼

that scene from queen charlotte is soo iconic !!! everyone is in love with the line "i will stand with you between the heavens and the earth." yes, that's beautiful but i think we all need a king george who cannot breathe when we are not near -- someone whose heart will call our name !!!! i just rewatched the clip on youtube and now i'm tearing up ahaha

i love a mc who is so brave and outspoken <3 we need a girlie who would jump over walls to fulfill her desires !!! an arranged marriage is definitely frustrating when she doesn't agree !!! surely, she'd want to rebel against her parents and soonyoung faces the brunt of her anger !!!

mc is ripping out soonyoung's heart before they're even officially together LOL. he just wants to have one chance please !!!! 👐🏼 how does mc eventually warm up to soonyoung?? does he treat her well, and she decides that this guy isn't half bad?? or maybe she starts noticing the little things about him and she genuinely falls for him??

a love triangle 😭😭😭 don't do this to me !!!!!! 😭 it hurts too much >.< but it always makes for an interesting plot ahaha. is she making an alliance with soonyoung so that she could pursue her real lover?? that is so heartbreaking LOL. who do you picture has her forbidden lover?!! and what's her relationship with them? maybe a childhood friend or a member of the staff?

this reminds me of a book i read a few months ago called six crimson cranes !!! the main character is a princess who has an arranged marriage, and on the day she's supposed to meet her future husband, she jumps into a lake 😭 her gown is ruined, everything is postponed, and she has to begrudgingly make a tapestry as an apology to the man and his family 😭 it's a fantasy novel, so she ends up getting cursed, losing her ability to speak. she's wisped away from the castle, her identity is hidden because of the curse, and the whole nation is looking for her. she comes across her future prince !!!! but obviously they never met, so they have no idea who the other person is. she lowkey hates the guy because he gave her a bad first impression. there's a second book i have yet to read, so i can't even tell you how it ends LOL but i would recommend it if you want to check it out!

gryffindor soonyoung would kiss you if he wasn't so in love with ravenclaw mc. as for ravenclaw mc, she would definitely give you a kiss <33 mwah. thank you for loving them !!!!
