I like malec, and I can see why everyone is obsessed with them, but I feel like there are so many awesome ships out there that are way more interesting. I get that malec changed shadowhunters views on LGBTQ+ and downworlder couples, but I think that other ships are far more interesting (gabrily, keirarktina, herongraystairs, blackstairs etc). I’m not putting down malec or anything, I really like them, but for me, there is so much hype around them and other ships are being drowned out.

Keiran: So, what do you want to eat-

Mark, staring at the screen behind Keiran: Whoa that dude's brains just fell out! Is that final destination?

Keiran: Whoa, you're right! I don't know what final destination is

Mark: We have to break up

Lady Midnight/Empire of Storms

So this is something that’s been on my mind since my friend brought it up and I just wanted to organize everything into a tidy little tumblr post. 

I read Lady Midnight after finishing Empire of Storms (I know, I know don’t kill me for being late on that series I adore Cassie and her writing) but anyways-when I was reading the end of Lady Midnight I couldn’t help but think of how similar it was to the end of Empire of Storms?? Please tell me this was not just me. I’ll list some of the parallels: 

-Kieran = Lorcan 

It’s fairly obvious how the way these two play into the plot are similar. They both are the reason our beloved main character got whipped by someone they sort of-kind of-not really-anymore-used to follow and obey. Keiran for being scorned by his lover Mark and Lorcan simply FOR his lover. Said lovers are both incredibly betrayed and angry at their now-exes because of this. 

-The Beach Scene(TM)

*blushes* I don’t really need to go on about this one? Both sets of main protagonist lovers...made love for the first time...on a beach...Yeah...

-Aelin = Emma 

I can see how this is a stretch but I can’t help but compare these two amazing female main characters? Both are badass blonde’s who break the gender stereotypes set for women in YA literature and just society in general? Both have been with guys before making them not the ‘pure’ virgin characters that are expected? How are they so perfect?? Most who know me know The Mortal Instruments was my first fandom and the one that’s going to always be at the top of my list when I talk about my favorite series. So when I first read Throne of Glass, I couldn’t help but compare Aelin to Jace, and in the same way I compare Emma to Jace. So the obvious connection would be comparing Aelin to Emma. Though I, of course, acknowledge that these are two different characters with very different depth and personality-but they do share similar traits. 

-Kieran v Cristina = Manon v Lorcan 

Also not glaringly obvious, but I can see how these two are part of the many parallels between Lady Midnight and Empire of Storms. Though I recognize the Cristina aspect is  far (far) more canon then the Manon one, I know a shit load of people ship Manon and Elide (considerably less then the people that ship elorcan, but I stand by my case). I can see similarities between the relationship that Manon, Elide and Lorcan share compared to the one that Kieran, Mark, and Cristina share (putting aside the possible OT3 we may get that’s hinted at in Lord of Shadows, I’m focusing only on Lady Midnight here).

So, yeah, those are just a few similarities I observed (I’m sure I forgot a hell of a lot of them, it’s been a while since I read both books). Other than these things though the two novels and series as a whole are really really different, but because I read these two book within a time span of two weeks or so, I was still in the EOS mindset and kept trying to relate everything to Throne of Glass. I’m sure some of you have done the same post-maas withdrawl lmao

To reply to the Matthew thing. It's not so much that I need him with someone, I don't, it's just that often times in books that's how you know a character isn't going to be heartbroken. When you know they'll be with someone else. Like, I get that it's not a great mindset, but it's not applicable to real life for me. It's just I'm trying to think of a love triangle in a Cassie Clare book where not everyone ended up with someone.

Like: Jace/Clary/Simon-> Clace and Simon with Izzy. Izzy/Simon/Maia-> Sizzy Maia/Bat. Will/Tessa/Jem-> both boys ended up with Tessa at different times. Keiran/Mark/Cristina-> Keirarktina. Even throw in the very brief Julien/Emma/Mark-> Jemma and (again) Keirarktina.

Like I'm not trying to say he needs a love interest, just idk if Cassie knows how to make him happy without one... adding on to his lack of presence on the family tree, and I have bad feelings about what happens.

(Also not trying to slight Cassandra Clare. I just have no frame of reference for how she writes happily single people outside of side characters, and I adore those characters, but still)

I completely understand. And damn! You’re right. There are no happy single people in tsc!

Maybe Lily! And Raphael! I always knew they were the smartest ones 🤭

I think Matthew will be okay. He has to be. Otherwise I will have to resort to necromancy myself 😎

I don’t specify the ship 74 or 47 for keirarktina👀 please

Sorry this has taken me a while to write! I hope you like it!

“C’mere, you can sit in my lap until I’m done working”

“I need to feel you close to me”

It had been a full month since Mark, Kieran and Cristina had been to the cottage and subsequently al together. So when they had decided to have a long weekend together, something they all wanted and needed. Crisitina had finished all the work she’d needed to do for the alliance, as well as some preparations for her weekend away to minimise the need for her to be contacted and taken away for the boys. She went to find Mark, who was writing up notes from a meeting he’d just had with Lily and Maia. Loitering in the doorway, Cristina found herself unsure what to do with herself. Although they had been together for a year, Cristina found herself sometimes unsure of herself.

She knew that Mark and Kieran had a history that hadn’t involved her and she sometimes wondered where exactly she fit into the trio. When she’d voiced her fears, Mark and Kieran had done whatever they’d needed to, to make her see she was a vital part of their relationship, and their lives. Cristina was about to turn away but Mark had already noticed her presence, and with a soft look, extended his arm saying “c’mere, you can sit in my lap until I’m done working”, and Cristina found that she didn’t need to be told twice, and slipped herself into her lovers lap and rested her head on his chest, and listened to his heat beat while he finished working (and try (and fail) not to get distracted by the person currently on top of him).

When Mark was finally done, they made their way back to their small apartment they rented in New York and had a quick wash before Cristina took the Eternidad from its hiding place and returned to Mark before closing her eyes and filing her mind with images of their cottage and the countryside landscape of Faerie. When she opened her eyes, the images that had, moments previously been only in hers mind’s eye were now surrounding her and Mark. The one difference was that Kieran was stood at the open door of the cottage, with a smile on his face that was only reserved for the two pieces of his heart.

Once they had made their way to the missing part of their whole, they could see that there was something going on behind Kieran’s eyes that was bothering him, and causing him some sort of internal turmoil. “Something troubles you my love. Please tell us so we both might be able to soothe whatever is causing your mind pain” Mark said, cupping the King’s face in his palm, causing Kieran to close his eyes temporarily. “Now is not the time for such conversations, but you can still help me. I need to feel you close to me” he said, before glancing at Cristina and adding “both of you. I just need to feel both of you close to me” and neither Mark nor Cristina needed telling twice.
